I Saaeeeeeneenenieneniiemeremmemmenmnanienntie eaieed Cement CLaims aT WASHINGTON.—A fine mill for crushing cement is being erect¢d on the claims of Knowlton, Maltman & Potter at Washington. The “hurdy gurdy’’ ‘water wheel is to be used, and it is estimated that with four stamps, thirty tons ef cement can be worked ina day. The mill will be ready for work by the Ist of September.— The claims adjoin those formerly owned by McKee & Co. The latter are now owned by a San Francisco company and are worked under the supervision of Mr. Wilsey.— Some of the finest specimens ever taken out in the county have been found in these <laims. We understand that specimens of the same character are being taken from the claims of Knowlton & Co. The development of these mines will add much to the prosperity of Washington and, we hope, make wealthy men of the owners. . Tue TarGetT Excursion.—The members of the Nevada Light Guard are ordered to appear at their Armory, to-morrew at 1 o'clock, P. M. for the purpose of engaging in target practice. Wesuppose the Company will march to the old shooting ground on the Red Dog road. ‘The prizes will be the Company medal, now held by Mr. FredenDdurg who won it at the last shooting, and . the leather medal won at the.same time by Mr. Cary. We are informed that the ex‘cursion on Saturday was suggested by the latter who is willing to relinquish the laurels he won tosome member of the Company more deserving than himself. The leather medal is about the size of a full moon, georgeously decorated and bearing an appropriate inscription. We presume there will be gome close shooting for it. The,first medal is ofsilver and gold, made by Gevige H. Loring of this city. It may bescenat Crawford’s store. We hope to see every member of the Company out on Saturday afternoon. Our people should not forget the excellent entertainment to be given at the Baptiat Charch, in this city, this evening by Miss Angela Starr King. Asareader she is withgut a peerin the State,educated in the same ‘school as her lamented brother, she came to this State forthe purpose of giving readings. Fow had fergetten the eloquent T. Starr King and when the sister caine people expected much of her. They have not been disappointed. Everywhere she has been received by crowded houses and the grentest praise is bestowed upon her.

Nevada Gazette—who does it ‘Bepresent? What are its Princi‘ples? Elegant Extracts. It would naturally be expected that the bolters of this county would have an urgan. Pfititéples were not a requisite, but a newepaper under their exclusive control to utter their séntiments, advocate their measures jand announce to the world their policy, . was an essential; and in the Nevada Gazette Kent, Sears, Davenport and Hawley, for two years past, have had a most effective . exponent. “ We propose to briefly trace. the career of that sheet for the past two J years, to show, as we shall coaclusively, the parties who are controlling its columns, and to favor all whom it may concern. with a few apecimen bricks of its political structure. : About two yearssince the Union party of and Davenport to their present positions. _ Fually resolved to deliver Nevada county, bound . hand and foot, to their great ‘master, Conness, these new incumbents recognized the. necessity of first disposing of Mr. Sargent, and with this in view, O. P. Stidger of San Juan. was invited to bring the material of the San Juan Press to Nevada city, and start a daily paper. He was promised all the patronage of the Sheriff's office, and all the support that the skorts could render him; while as an additional consideration Kent, Hawley and Birdseye were to give him a further bonus of one thousand dollars. In consideration of their munificence Stidger was to beslobber his employers and bespatter their opponents. Under these favorable auspices the official career of these worthies, Kent, Hawley, Davenport and the Gazette was inaugurated. Stidger kept hie word to the letter. His fulsome adulation of his employers disgusted all save the recipients, whose capacious vanity drank it all in as. their thirsty carcases did whiskey; while his vulgar abuse of Sargent increased that gentleman’s friends by scores and hundreds. Confident of the influence wielded by their organ, in the spring of 1864 the shorts determined to make an exhibition of their strength, and ran a ticket for delegates to the State Convention against one supported by Mr. Sargent's friends, and were unanimously repudiated by the people. In the fall of the year they received a new ally — This accession to their forces was W H. Sears, a new political equestrian, whose last sommersault carried him through the mere trifle of three or four positive pledges, and one solemn oath. Mr. Sears’ adhesion to the organ. clique, of which the galorious Kent was the Alpha and the impervious Hawley the Omega, was properly honored. He was forthwith nominated by the organ for Congress, and: his transcendent abilities duly heralded before a dazzled but slightly doubting community. To give him the sup port of the county inthe District Convention would have been a very easy matter for.the ‘organ. There was no other candidste (rom the county for any position, and te had a clear field. But the organ was ei s fied unless Sears’ victory shoul bo te feat of Sargent. ‘So it-annous gent should be, must be, wae wo: But-the champion had the . sts i bismsell, and was beaten by—noboly Aiter this second exhibition of its political prowess the ergan was for awhile cowparitively quict. It had learned to its astouishnent that falsity of assertion is not compensated by foulness of language, aud that compurisons had been instituted by the public between Mr. Sargent and bis traducers ‘not at. all favorable to the latter. Beside, although Stidger had filled hie part of the bend, and had secured fur bis friends two shining defeats, he tnd.not received the monish promwed. ‘Birllseye paid bis; but though Kent prombed deputyships withoat aumber, and .

He de‘ut on the street for everything to. Wos indjumous, and swore in his elegant inener thet he would net vete for hin for . dag pelter in h-1. and would not vote for Hawley to be Kent's deputy. Of course this would net do. Stidger had been “on the inside" too long to be permitted to blew. Sears called a council of the faithful; Kent waa soothed, Hawley flattered and Davenport bled. It would not do to let the orgyn petish in this baleful eclipse ; of woree yet, let Stidger. with all hia unhand seorete, surrender it to the enemy: Soinething must be done, and was done Stidger was bought off, and D:venport’s deputy, Joha Bennett, took a mortgage on the whole concern for tdie benefit of the clique— Kent, Hawley, Davenport and Sears. This mort‘gige was executed Feb. 8th, 1865, to which date we call particular attention in connection with the extracts from the Gazette which wegivebelow. The foregoing sketch may be thus summed up, The Gazette was imported by Kent, Hawley and D venport as their organ, it was kept alive by their official patrenage and personal contributions, and when its old editor kicked in the traces the’ same. parties got him out.and got'the paper inte congenial hands, where it immediately began to express the sentiments of the shorts as we shall now show. If any ove wants to understand the motives that prompt. ed such deeds as the killing of Dick Quinton let himy read and ponder the following : x" tracts. Kentand his gang are now hugging. the employees of Allison Ranch.. Let us see what he thought-of them a few months ago. and what the paper that he kept alive by the Shentfs printing and by contributions of money said of them.~ The Nevada Ga-, zette, then as -now-the organ of the shorts, April 26th, 1865, published the fullowing : “It is peace ? peace with theservile brute of Allison Ranch, throwing their hats in the air, shouting in-fiendish glee, aud preparing a hellish orgie over the assassination of the President? Peace with the hireling and. sensual priests (ineaning Father Griffin and Father Dalton) of a mind-enslaving religion, teaching their embruited toliowers to trample on law and decency !” April 25th,the Gazette suid: “We hope McDowell will appoint a mitary commission to proceed to the (Allison) miue and investigate the tacts in connection .with this hellhole of treason.” The shorts now go to this place they then called a “hell hole of treason’ to beg votes, and own that their only chance of success is in getting support from those they called “theservile brutes of Aliison Ranch” What they said then of getting votes from such a source will be tound in the Gazette of April 29th, as follows: “Not RESPONSIBLE, ETC —Certain parties persis! in asserting that the owners of Allison Ranch mine are vot.responsible for the outrageous demonstrations of their workmeu when they received the news of President Lincoin’s assassination; and these same parties are trying to negotiate with the owners of the Ranch for their workmen’s votes—dves anybody see the point?” Weask the ewners aud workmen.of Allison Ranch, ‘‘do you eee the point,” now the shorts want your political uid? It is only necessary to explain what follows to say that Phil. Galloway. is a man of honor and integrity, generally knewn as such. Jn the short hair organ to which we: allude, April 25th, xppears a note from Mr. Galloway requesting the Gazette to publish the statement which he had left at the office, and send the bill per Wells, Fargo & Co. _ “This” says the Gazette “is an unmistaKable attempt at bribery ;" and after charging Galloway with “unqualified falsehood” favors him with half a° Golumn more such. stuff as we have already quoted. But the Gazette was not willing to let Mr Galloway off so easily. It has a clinging spite, and never ceases saying nasty things of any object of dislike. On the 5th of May. it accuses “Galloway, the scuundrel,”’ as it calls him, of destroying a Union ~ballot at the Ranch, and then certifying to the returns; and in the same paper says that he digcharged the man who cast the ballot. On the 24th of April the Gazette announced that Union men of Grags Valley would not act with the Copperheads in the President's funéral. It is well known that the man who made the objection, who was too good to mingle his tears with Copperheads on that occasion, is D. B. Nye, who is on the Bolter’s ticket for Assessor, and is now pleading tor Copperhead votes. -Copperheads will be apt to say to him, if we were not geod enough to walk in your procession then, we will form our own procession to the polla when you want our votes ! But the Gazette was not done with the Allison Ranch and the Catholics. May 3fa°] it published the following : “The owners (Allison Ranch) have employed the md&t ignorant and degraded beings that ever disgraved the form of humanity; who under the moral teachings of a hireling of bell, tricket out in priestly robes (Father Griffin) have polluted the air with
their treasonable ravings.” : Again it said— > “Expecting every day to hear that Allieon Ranch bas caved and buried alive a lot of fiendish revellers, a little bird whispers in our ear that it only waite fer some of the owuvers to enter it.” And again—“Jef Davis, Beauregard and Benjaminare to swing for their crimes, letthe Government at least secure its domain from the grasp of Colbert and Daniel, Tom. Findley and the Watts—traitors as black hearted as . any that evér shouldered musket .or dtew a ‘sword in the cause of the slave. Confederaey.”” * a ; _ o We pause not fc r’want of clogind extracts: but for wantof time Theshorts stopped at no length of abuse and annoyance,to the men they now court, when they thought that such a course was necessary tu their popularity. Their daily. conversation was.loaded with just such sentiments as those put in ink by their organ. When the news reached here that Allison Ranch had gche unanimously for McClellan, Kent. suid it “ought to be sunk in hell.’’ We relate one other incident and let this > Griffin went to the Gazette office to publish a card of thanks for the patronage received by the Church, and was forthwith attacked by one of-the writers of the paper about his them ; whereupon the scribbler of the Gazette replied to Father Giffin, ‘“why the hell vlpaper back to Rome to your G—d d—d *oll ; ~Pope?~ What do you stay around here . ifor?” Father Griffin left. The managers of the paper should have kicked the scrub unealled fur insaki It referred to it next day “as very wholesome advice given by a gentleman of their office to an ignorant and insolent priest.” It is said the short hair organ has changed editors, It has certainly, but it is and has been the organ of the shorts, and during all the time that these articles were appearing, extending over months, Kent was furnishing fresh sheriff sales to keep the institution alive. The kind of article needed at the time for party use was published. _The clique determined what kind was needed and seribblers _in abundance to write them up were forthcoming © L. —_——— eee) KANSAS COMPANY.
