EBS TIPO E STINET OTB NI IIG SS Dah pine 9 es cacy Manas Lapeany—lt is not gen-{ erally known, even a our own cit= . «izefem, Chit Nevada has one of the best _ public libraries in ‘the le State . _ Se-far as any information’ has come to ® us, mo town of California, except San " Francisco and Sacramento, has. colieee ot beaks at eS has ssletiion te elapted oe every tanto _ gs every public library should be, and comprises many rare and expensive _ works. ‘The aim of the directors of the zhas been to keep pace with the times, and in endeavoring to do so, they have collected together about two thousand volumes of valuable books. By strange good fortune the library has escaped all the desolating fires that have _ Swept our city, and it seems destined to live and become what its founders de» . @iigned ‘it shoald be—a pride and source of usefulness to the city. During the Rebellion, the war-literature of new= _ papers occupied largely the attention of readers, and the Nevada Library _ made but a slight accession to its stock ot books. The taste for other and standard literature has retarned with the return of peace, and an active interest has begun in the affairs of the Association. It iscontemplated to add ' @hundted volumes tothe Library by the 17th of January, to which date the meeting of the Association stands adjourned. The present ‘is a most favorable time for persons to become members of the Association. The institution is *@suctess. Noone jéining now has to run the hazard of an experiment. By the ) payment of five dollars initiation ‘fee, and fifty cents a month dues, any gentleman or lady can become a member of the Association and have an interest in and free access to five thousand dollars worth. of well selected and choice works. It is a duty every parent owes his child to introduce him or her to the works of the best authors, and the Nevada Library, by its moderate charges and excellent collection of books, places the means of discharging this duty within the reach ofall. Five dollars makes a member a stockholder on @nequal footing with those who have mursed the institution and have paid for its support hundreds of dollars.— Now ‘that it is ao longer an experiment, not a citizen, whether he has children _. -orndt, should neglect to enrol his name among the membersof the Association. _ It is the cheapest way of obtaining reading for the long Winter evenings, and ‘What too of the best character, and apart from this consideration every wellwisher ¢fNevada should not hesitate to connect hisname and influence witli'an institution which is to grow and beome ain’ ornament and rich source of . {instruction for all coming time. The ‘Library has just been removed to the room occupied by Professor Bigelow as @ Commercial Academy, and Mr. Biglow is appointed th the Librarian. » Touts Roaps.—Capt. Rollins has givts ep the Legislsture of a bill for x pete rate of tolls on the toll roads te. A law of this kind would savea great deal of time now spent by Supervisors in adjusting tolls. — pest TSRRIBLE ACCIDENT.—On the 18th, inst., two cars were thrown over an embankment on the Cleveiand and Lake Shore Railway, whereby.the pas_ gengers, to the number of fifty, with but “few exceptions, were oebed or burned ‘to death, cornmeal itlaasie esti EX-R&BEL Vance of North Carolina, was the firet lawyer of note who ad' @nessed a coldred: jury in the second -@military district, empanneled under Gen, Canby’s order. He addressed them ‘as “gentlemen of the jury,” and won’ a es AGoop SrumPrxr.—One of the most effective orators in the late canvassép ‘Mississippi, was the Rev. dames Lynch, acolored man. He met with humer= ‘attacks from the sprigs valry, be Seeuninebe in st \ “Se 4 anos ‘again wir wetiaies of life. Old strong-in-thefaith chaps, who were ‘th ‘to Have beén dead for years, came forth as ftom a resutrection, and were foand im Knots as of yore discus~ sing the. issues of the day, with their usual vacity. On Montgomery street, and up and down the alleys leading into the great thoroughfare,might be seen the old claw-hammer coats of Jackson’s time, and white bellteasers that bad hung neglected <amony the cobwebs since Leland Sanford seized the scepter froni the Democracy. . Among the wearers of these imperishable articles descended from the Democratic past articles indicative of the conservative character of the ownefs—were some who had done hard service for their country packing sand in out of the way forts, or suffered for. the cause of seces— sion in Alcatraz, and all had well nigh perished from the people having cut off for six long years ‘their long-time sup— ply of provender from the public larder. What caused these old functionaries to burst, as it were, the cerements of the tomb, and stand once more at their wonted corners, to give us a revival of scenes long past? Hope that a spare morsel might fall to their share oat of charity for their sufferings now that the party had achieved a triumph. Like Rip Van Winkle they find a new order of things, in which they are of little account. ‘Haight, and Casserly, both avowed enemies, of the ‘Lost Cause,” stand in the way of the distribution of pap and crumbs, and to drive the old codgers back to their holes in despair. Hancock is the coming man with the Democrats for the Presidency. No liope for Secessionists, those who preserved! the organization of the party intact in its dark and trying hours, in applying to Haight for help. Nothing of patronage can be had through Casserly,and to disgust the Simon pure Copperlieads hopelessly, Hancock has friends enough of his own who ‘helped him kill Secessionists, to reward, to leave a. solitary bone for his old enemies in the field to pick. What are these old fossils to do? Are the old white hats and claw-hammers to. retire into obscurity unrequited for their sacrifices? We have no branch of the Freedmen’s Bureau here, or they might be fed by the tyrannical government as they are inthe South. It isa pity that so much sterling Democracy should be suffered to go to neglect. The Radical party don’t want the poor fellows, and the War Democracy has will they go? eee ANOTHER RoBBERY.—Sometime after half past 12 o’clock yesterday morning, “the saloon of A. R. Jenkins, opposite the Union Hotel, was entered and. robbed. An entrance was effected through the side door, which opens into the eating saloon, by breaking out a pane of glass, after which the door was unlocked. The burglars took about $1 75 from the money drawer, but disturbed nothing else. No money is kept inthe . drawer through the -night, except enough for change in the morning.THE “roll of honor” for the last school month in Miss Hubbard’s school, contains the following names, of pupils distinguished for good attendance, recitations, and deportment, in the order of their standing: Agusta Wentworth, Marie Fininger, Frank Mead, Hattie Nelson, Charles Housman, George Cornell, Hattie Rolfe, Amelia Rigondet, Earl Caswell, Bradford Wentworth, Charles Hansun, George Sargent, Hie. nie Adams. . , GEorGE W. KENDALL,of New Orleans Picayune, left an estate worth half a million of dollars; all of which he made as a journeyman vee. James M. "Mason, ex-Senator from Virginia, has published a letter settit refuge for cut them off without a shilling. Where . : by his own talents and industry. He commenced life penniless and friendless . _ Tux ScHoor QuEstio: .—It is hardly ‘that the ‘of Zack Montgomery for the ion of the Pub+ ebegineaday + the State, will find ‘rats in the Legislature, and it is cer tain that no such law as he proposes ‘can ever be passed through the Senate. The Braminé? has already declared against such a change, well knowing that it would be suicidal to the party that attempts such a thing. The feeling of the people of the, State may be judged from the increased vote of Swett in the late election. They desire to keep the public school system under the control of the State, free from partizan influences and independent of all religious denominations. The doctrine that it is the duty of the State to educate the youth in order to prepare them for an intelligent performance of the duties of citizens is the fundamental prineiple of the present school systhis principle or utterly destroyed, The officers must be held responsible for the faithful performance of duty, and the expenditure of school moneys must not be left to irresponsible parties. Let the other plan for the division of the school fund be adopted, and the people will’ cease to pay taxes for the support of such an abortion, and we will venture to say that in less than a year one half of the large revenue .now paid for school purposes will be cut off. Such a course would be right and proper, for unless the public schools are inaintain— ed free from the bickerings and quar— rels of little communities and bigoted religionists, they had better be closed.—The policy of Montgomery can lead to nothing leas than the overthrow of our public school system, and the establishment in every place of two or three opposition schools, over which the churches are to fight. The party that dares to inaugurate such a policy in any enl 2 [pares community is damned beyond redemption. a ARRIVALS AT THE NATIONAL EXCHANGE HOTEL. Broad Street, Nevada City, California.
