The Rallroad Proceedings. “On Friday afternoon a meeting of citizens of Grass Valley and Nevada was held‘ at Library Hall for the purose of further consulting in regard to _ ‘ailroad matters. Judge Niles, on calling *he nesting to order, said he had investigated the matter since the last meeting and had come tothe conclusion that it would be impossible to run to any other place than that designated in the paper upon which subscriptions to stock had been taken, and that the steps already taken would not be sufficient to organize for the purpose of building a road to Marysville. 3 Mr. Deland, the Treasurer, reported that $1,800 had been paid in by eubscribers, and that $2,100 would be necessary to incorporate. He also said that so soon ag the delinquents paid up he would, ad required by. law, call a meeting of stockholders. The Chairman called upon geatilemen present to express their sentiments in tegard to the best method of procedure. Mr. Delano said that no difference existed in public opinion in Grass Valley as to a railroad. They all favored a railroad from Nevada county, but .hé thought the majority of people there would prefer to run to Marysville, as a road in that direction would. tap. the grain country, and give the advantages of competion by connecting lines; -that some of the subscribers to stoek refused to pay in until an bavenppartont of routes was had. Mr. Clark was in favor of carrying out the purposes of the organization as begun, because the money was aubscribed for that purpose, and any delay was hazardous. He advanced arguments in favor of the route as being the best to connect this couuty with the markets, Mr, Marsh advocated the Marysville raute, as being the most feasible, because the distance to San Francisco, by way of Marysville, was shortest, and freight could be transported mote cheaply in consequence of river communication, He was in favor of investigating the different routes. Mr. Pattison said, several years ago he had occasion to investigate the mat-. \ ter of a railroad, and at that time parties ‘in San’ Francisco stéod ready to take a large share of stock. He thought that a]li the etock could have been’ marketed then, had proper effort been made. He believed that the road was practicable and could be cheaply buil. Mr. Deal claimed that the amounts already paid in were subscribed tor a specific purpose, and that an jnvestigation, if made, should be made outside of the present organization, and proposed the following resolutions, which were, after some discussion, adopted ; WHEREAS, The people of Grass Val ley and Nevada are desirous of secur ing railroad communication, connecting their towns with some point en the main lines of travel, Bap cassie That a committee of five pointed, at & meeting to be held. at arene Hall, Nevada City, on Tuesday, Decomiee 18th, 1870. ‘ Resolved, That said committee be authorized to secure preliminary surveys to buch: points as may be deemed advisable;.that they be auttiurized to conier and correspond with such corporations and individuals ‘ae may by contiibutions ‘or subseriptions aid in the construction of a railroad, Resolved, That Committees be appointedrin Grass Valley and Nevada to ane subscriptions of citizens of their tive lowns, tu delray expenses of pe Comwittee, and that lists be also lett atthe Bank of Nevada County, in Nevada, and at. the lankiag “house ot A. Delano, Grass Valley, for. subseriptions for this purpose. Pending the consideration of these resolutions, Mr. Watt strenuously advocated a railroad. He-said he did not waht to sdée the county fall into the hands of the fentral Pacitic Company, and he was pliervtore disposed ww lavor a road to Maryéville ; that such a road would ran. through a grain and hay country, and would give all the advantages of competing lines, While he: held vale opjaion be dab ‘Wo was teady to contribute, as denmatenen would ‘being level ; wartant,~ buttdi road’on that was. petit cpon, but he tended to know the advantages o: of the proposed lines, and that not want to work in the dark, Mr. Sigourney was in favor of seni Geedh did tain any one that might be fixed upon. Mr. Cashin tought ‘that the members of the organization began with their eyés Open “and that’ the ‘parties subscribing understood exactly what they were doing ; and that the project ought t to be put throagh. He thought favorable arrangeménts could be made with the Central Pacific Railroad Company. = in the way of organizing ; and proposed. that each stockholder present pay $10 and tle amonnt would be sufficient to complete the organization. Mr. Coleman said if they thought of running to Marysville why not also take Sacramento into considerat‘on ? The distance would,oenly:be 24miles further, and that 25 miles could be built very cheap, the entire distance and that Sacramento people would give liberal aid. All the reasons in favor of Marysville such as tide water communications, competition, etc., were greater in favor of Sacramento. The discussion was further participated in by the gentlemen whose re‘marks are briefly and imperfectly given above, and by other persons; nearly all showing an earnest desire for a railroad and a willingness to lay aside personal preferences for the accom. plishment of the result, Judge Niles, at the request of the. meeting, then appointed Commiitees in Nevada and Grass Valley to solicit subscriptions fora preliminary survey in accordance with the resolutions paséed, consisting of the following persons : Grass Valley—A. Delano, W. K. Spencer, A. Stoddard. Nevada—T. W. Sig~ ourney, N. P. Brown, Chas. Marsh. Qn motion the meeting then adjourned to meet again on Tuesday, December 18th, at which tine it is understood the stock-sulscribers’ ‘meeting will also be called if delinquents pay up. ; The Aldine.

A special from Tours says: Official dispatches announce that General Trochu and Ducrot will completely surround the Prussians between Bre, Sur Marne and Chaissy le Rai. Ducrot is now encamped fifteen miles from Paris. The French losses are reported at $2,000. ANOTHER OPINION ON THE Lortery Law —In the case of Frank W. Gross, says a dispatch tothe Appeal, advertising Judge Stanley held the defendant to bail in the sum of $500 to appear before the next Grand Jary, He declares the Mercantile Library Lottery unconstitutional, and said he would do his utmost to get Grand Jurors who would use all their power to enforce the law. A Great JuMPpIne Matca.—At. Boston, Mass., recently, a great jumping match was decided at the Highlands, in‘a meadow on a line with the Providence Railroad, between Abe Saars, of Quincy, and Ned Crophy, of Brooklyn, for $500 a sides. 10 feet 94. Inches, The Brooklyn man stepped forward and bet with the New Englander $50 that he would beat that, but he failed by 3% inches. On the second trial Saars cleured 11 feet 7% inches; third trial, 12 feet 24 inches. Brophy made a poor effort to excel these figures, and the Quincy man’s friends made a pile on their man winning. Suits Threatened. Mercantile Library Lottery tickets may yet be worth money and those who have them should hold on. Th matter has got into to the Courts, and the County Court in San Francisco declared. the anti-lottery law never repealed. Large holders of tickets threaten tosue the Mercantile Library for the recovery of money and damages. There may be fun ahead, Union says: Madame Perkler, aged ubout seventy-five years, and who re sided on Neal street, north side, a few doors west of Auburn street, was found lying dead in her house yesterday moroing. The Madame had been livquiet andunoffensive old lady. She uad been seen alive the day before, but post mortem examination made by Dr. Coombs at the Coroner's inquest showed that she bad died from: natural causes.
