The Daily Transcript
Saturday, Dec. 11, 1875.
Indignant Correspondents,
The power of the press is acknowledged by most people, and not.
a smal-numbér of them have-a desire to use that-power when oceasion
demands to right their personal
grievanees. When they fall intoa
little difficulty with a neighbor, they
at onée think ,what a nice thing it
would be to. ventilate their opponent
through the columns of the local. paper. Such persons themselves, are
very sensitive to newspaper criticisms, but theythink it would be
just the thing for their enemies,
The itch of writing ‘seizes them as
‘goon as they clash with any one, and
‘-{n point of, phraseology, and
responsibility. e presume. the
“watte basket of every editorial room
if they covld talk,: might tell some
they imagine it would make a paper
wary lively to contain an emanation
from their pen. Their communications are generally sent under an
assumed name, so they will shun the
We presume. the
very. good stories about such
communieations. They are familiar
with a good. niany. literary «curiosities that rival Josh Billings’ ablest
productions in point of orthography;
the worst butcher of the language
the
savagest Apathe. in point of. virulence. If published verbatim et liter-‘alim, they would discount the’ best
efforts of the most comic writers,and
yet their authors question the taste
of the lord of the sanctum who rejects them. When such persons learn
that a newspaper is not run in the
interest of every party who engages
‘in a personal controversy, they will
eease their literary labors and save
much valuable ink and paper by so
floing. . as

The effects of the late rains ‘begin
to be realized now, Nearly all t
mines of the county are at work with
afultforce. Gold dust has begun
tocome into market, os any one éan
find out by stopping around the
Bank a little while. Itfis the beginning ofa stream which will continue
to flow steadily until next September,
and. will do. more to solve the
finaneial problem than all the speechesand newspaper editorials which
haye been written or delivered for
the last year, Afterall, the miner,
with ‘his piek and shovel, is. the
ablest financier. He goesin for hard
money, and has no difficulty in ma~ king people believe that it is the best
circulating medium, He does not

ments, because he never made any
other, and he is not perplexed to
discover a means to bring it about or

dust is more musical and—eloquent than the tones of the most
eloquent financier in the land.

Faraury Hurt.—We mentioned
a day or twa. ago;-says the Grass Valley, Union, that Mr. Wm. Pelton
was badly hurt, by being dragged by
‘his horse. The horse hed an inch
rope around his neck, and Mr, Pelton stood on the rope and was warming himself by moving his arms
rapidly. The motion frightened the
horse and a runaway was the consequences The rope caught around
the man’s leg. The left leg. was
badly broken between the ankle jand
knee joints and above the knee the
bone is literally crushetl. The man
was dragged: against stones and
posts, and at last strack a stout post
which caused the rope to break.
He was injured about the head as
well as about the legs, Dr. Jones
has no hopesof his recovery. Mr.
Pelton usually resides in Virginia

Ax Inprax Row.—A row oecurted
at the Indian camp over the river on
Sunday morning, says the. Truckee
Republican, and came near ending
in a general fracas among. the Lo’s.
One female Lo laid her incorrigible
son low. by hitting him across the
head with a small sized railro ad tie,
whereat the paterfamilias took of‘fense, probably elaiming that he had
the prior right. to a proceeding of
that kind. Words maultipled and
flew fast and furious between the
‘ipoor injuns,’’ and outsiders. became interested and took sides.The
affair was reconciled by tying the aggressor to a pime stump and keeping

it as directed. Immediately after
