THE DAILY TRANSCRIPT.
NEVADA CITY, CAL. .
BROWN ‘ aR, a a
Nevada County Oficial Press.
SUNDAY, APRIL 9.
* MARYSVILLE'’S MAYOR.
? Starcely has this newly elected offiver got warm in“his seat than he
falminates against the miners an official bull which is as absurb as the.
Pope’s bull against the comet, and
not likely to produce any greater
consequences, Ignoring all meas_* ures of relief by co-operation of mi_bers and farmers, he sounds the tocsin of alarm and danger and calls for
more money to fee the rapacious
horde of attorneys who are feeding
upon the vitals of thespver-taxed citizens of the town whose destinies are
entrusted to his care, Not content
with picking the feathers of his own
brood, he trespasses upon neighboring domain and urges the. valley
counties to appropriate sums from
their treasuries? With the shibboleth of ‘‘perpetual injunction”: -he
would destroy the mining interest
which has built up the eity of which
he is chief magistrate ; he would deprive the State and the nation at
large of the benefits resulting from
the production of $19,000,000 of gold
per annum; and would depopulate
the mountain counties and convert
their lands to sheep ranges. And
all-based on the aggertion that ‘‘the
plea that. gold has some_ peculiar
value in:the world’s exchanges is an
absurdity.” Wedo not know His
Honor the Mayor, nor his personal
habits, but from the utterances of
his-inaugural we should suppose he
had been dining with Gen. Scobeloff
if that great warrior were on this
coast. In one sentence he says ‘‘that
works [necessary to restrain the riv“er sands} can only be established by
a liberal expenditure of money, and
they should be constructed by the
National or State government ;” and
in the next sentence he says ‘‘there
seems no goud reason why the Goveenment should expend its revenues
to furnish dumps for the hydraulic
mining system.” He thus reaches
the canclusion that ‘‘if neither National nor State aid can be obtained,
this valley must as a whole establish
such works as are necessary to its
preservation,”
With regard to the feasibility and
cdst of restraining dams whieh itis
_» Mught to have the general government provide we would call the attention of the citizens ofthe valley
and especially of the Mayor’s fellowtownsmen to the concluding portion
of the report and recommendations
of Col: Meéndell to the Secretary: of
‘The plans for the relief. of: the
Yuba will involve the expenditure
of $325,000 the first year, and $810,000-for the next nine years, providing a total storage of 194,000,000 cubic yards ; on the Bear the expenditare of $80,100 for the first year, and
$124,400 for the next seven years,
providing for storage for 42,000,000
yards ; on the American the expenditure of $106,500 the first year,
$70,700 for the next six years, providing storage for 42,000,000 yards.
The total cost forthe first year
will be $511,600, and for ten years
in all, $1,516,700. k
The total storage provided will be
278,000,000 cubic yards, and the
“ cost, therefor, ot storing each cubic
yard, abont one-half of a cent.
But the plain inference of the inaugural address is that the Mayor
will use his official.influence to deter
the National and State governments
from rendering aid” to protect’ the
rivers and relieve the valley lands
unless accompanied by legislative
destrtittion to the entire mining interest. Rather than accept such aid,
untrammell.d by legislation hosti
to the miners, he wou'd place the
whole expense of relief upon his fellow-townsmen and neighbors. We
cannot believe that Mayor Bingham
expresses the sentiments of the people of the valley. He then proceeds
to give the drift and quartz miners
some “‘taffy” in a manner which. re, Minds us of the habit ofthe boa constrictor who covers its prey with saliva before swallowing it. We need
scarcely remind this class of miners
that Jadge Keyser in the Keyes-Little York case decided that there was
no distinction in the nature of the b
damage, and the special defense did da
not avail them. And 80, & judgment
for the State in the Gold Run case
would as effectually close every drift
mine in the State as it would the
defendants’, and by parity of reason
ing all quartz mines, ee

OUR EXCHANGES.
Malf Minute Interviews With the
bly tearfdl way in
nia Democrats deplore
the-President’s veto is just now the
only amusing thing connecte! with
that veto. .
A STRONG REASON.
‘> [(Puck.)
We have been asked to sigu thre
petition for the pardon of Mason,
the assailant of Guiteau. . We refused. We consider Mason a disgrace
to American marksmanship.
A MODEL LEGISLATURE.
(N. ¥. Tribune.)
Not a man flinched when the membors of the New Jersey House of As‘sembly marched up in alphabetical
order and single file, and each was
asked to take his Bible oath ‘that he
was virsuous.
THE REPUBLICANS SHOULD BRACE UP,
[Record-Union.
The true course of the Republicans
is to organize at once, and ‘‘push
things.” They should create clubs
in every precinct and district and
township throughont the—State;
They should seek out the strongest
men for nominations. They should
realize the fact that the outcome of
the campaign depends mainly upon
themselves. Enough has been said,
and too much, in the despondent
vein. Difficulties were made’to be
overcome, not to be retreated from.
The President’s veto hag been dis
couraging, no doubt, but another
bill may be passed before the end of
the session, and in the meantime it
is necessary tobuckle down to work
and show. the enemy‘that he must
win his laurels before he wears them.
Stidger All Over.
The revéefend gentleman who
presides over the destinies of the
San Juan Times has been “‘swinging
around the circle,” and in his paper
of yeSterday we find the following
interesting notes: ‘Qn Thursday,
March 23d, we mounted Sherman’s
grand coach (a buckboard wagon) to
which was attached a spanking span
of horses (two broken-down animals)
and started for Marysville, our old
homey Sherman held’ the ribbons,
the coach, (the buckboard aforesaid, )
was gaily decked with the colors of
the old flag. We started on a twoforty gait—that is, at the rate of
about five miles in two hours and
forty minutes, and about 120’clock
jwe found ourselves at the great Empire Ranch, Thos. Mooney proprietor. Here we dined, and at about
1 o’clock P. M. were again en route
for Marysville, on board of one of
Dave Lowery’s Concord coaches, to
which was attacheil four spirited
avimals, Lowery himself holding the.
reins. At 4} o'clock P. M. we arrived at the U.S. Hotel in Marysville safeand sound, and but little
fatigued with our journey. We
found that city looking bright and
charming though exceedingly dull.
During our stop there of a couple of
days we interviewed many. business
men, merchants, mf@hanics and others, all of whom expressed their
opinions on the debris question and
thought 'that question was the cause
of the dullness of trade. One very
intelligent merchant stated that in
all the years he had been doing business in Marysville he had never
known it to be so stagnant. He
said that while he deprecated the
effects of hydraulic mining he regretted that the authorities of the city .
had lent its name aa plaintiff in a
suit against the miners. He said
any fool might have known that the
mountain men would ‘‘Boycott” the
tants. He said it wag too late to
ery over spilled milk now, bnt he
hoped that in course of time things
would be remedied.

' THE women of Boston are somewhat esthetical. -They:say they do
on election days. They protest
against the extension of the elective
franchises to the female sex because
of the trials and troubles it will give
them, But in case suffrage is granted they will feel bound to go to the
polls in order to offset the votes of
ad women who will surely vote
rly and often, There is something
in this point. There is -g class of
‘women in Boston, who if given a
Vote, will never fail of appearing at;
the polls.
THE origin of the word “newspaper” is not, as many suppose, from
the fact of its containing new things ;
but'in former time (1795 to 1830) it
i. customary to put dver the peridlieal publications of the day the
