See Smee BRA sowing NO ae 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 Lcotettueneinitemememate tee eT ~~ AST” Week ‘the farmers in the vicinity of Chico discovered ‘the wire-worm in their fields, Already patches of from five to ten acres’ have been destroyed; Perret g seco THREE teams loaded with 60,000} pounds of freight for Jordin V. alley and Silver City, Idaho, left’ Winpemucca on Monday, ek \ 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. a > ' 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 Ibitial letters of the compass, N, §. itformation fram all quarters of the globe, North, East, West and South.
