About a week ago a petition sign:

General Superintendent of the Centarl Pacific Railroad, requesting a

What We aaid.
eee
The Nevada TRANSCRIPT is the
authority for saying that Senator
George wrote the article denouncing
B. B. Faller as a “‘land pirate.”
Senator George, himself, is the authority for saying he did not write
that article.—G. V. Tidings.
What this paper really said was,
“It is reported here that Senator
George wrote the commuuication.”
It was a respectable citizen of Grass
Valley who reported it in this town,
and many good things were said
about the Senatur on the supposition
he wrote it. The communication
was one no man in the State need be
ashamed of fathering, so far as that
part of itis concerned.
——
Had the Toothache.
T.-H. Carr, Secretary of the Nevada County Land League, yesterday
received from the State Secretary
at San Francisco a letter explaining
the failure of Mr. Healey, the Irish
envey, to keep his -lecture engagement in this city last. week. He
was greatly afflicted with toothache
at thé time, and could not travel:
The State Secretary says that Mr.
O'Connor has pesitively agreed to
stop here on his way East, and that
our citizens shall have at least ten
days notice of his coming.
In Jail. Again. ~
That chronic old nuisance, Wm.
Montgomery, Esq., was picked up
s on Commercial street. yesterday
morning in a half frozen and bleeding
condition and:put into the County
Jail. The only way to break him
of his vagrant ways is to sentence
-him to jail for the rest of his days
~ and make him a high private in the .
chain-gang. He is a public pest
when at large.

Yesterday afternoon R, N. Smoot
the blind man came to the TranSCRIPT office on business. As he
started down stairs to go home. he

J. A. FILLMore,
Ass’t. Gen’l, Sup’t,
When the petition was being
circulated a number of our people expressed a decided opinion that no
notice would be taken of it, and that
it was useless to attempt to have a
change made, as it was inevitable
that they must be inconvenienced so
long as the C. P. Co. so decreed,
All admit that at no period has the
time-table been so detrimental to
their interests as now—not even
when the old stage line was in vogue.
In one respect a certain port on of
our people were mistaken when they
stated that the petition would be
treated with contempt. Mr. Towne
is a gentlemanin every respect and
. would not for a moment allow a
. communication of that kind go unnoticed. It has been answered by
the company, and we do not give up
the idea that a change will be made
by them. when they become fully
aware of the true situation.
Mr..Fillmore,; Assistant General
Superintendent, says in his lettr
that ‘‘to make close. connection at
nection from the San Jose and the
Southern Pacific line,”-ete. —-The
citizens in, their petition did not ask
the company to do that, but as Mr.
Fillmore places a great deal of stress
upon the that that if close connection
were made passengers, mail and express from the points mentioned
would have to lay overat Sacramento
till the arrival of the evening train,
and over night at Colfax, the people
here without adissenting voice would
in that event say allright; forit would
make no difference to them if there
were no connection made between
the places referred to and Nevada
county once a week. After a careful investigation it.can_be shown
that out of every hundred passengers
that arrive in Grass Valley.and Nevada City there are not over two who
come from any other places than
Sacramento and San Francisco. Out
of a thousand letters, nine hundred
and fifty come from Sacramento and
San Francisco. These facts can be
verified at the express, railroad and
post offices. Such being the case,
of 7,000 and Nevada City with 6,000
be inconvenienced to an unreasonable
extent for the sake of making it convenient for so small a percentage of
passengers, mail and express? We
ask Mr. Fillmore-to look into this
. matter and then say if it-is right or
just to our peopl: that such a state
of affairs should exist.
Mr. Fillmore says it would be
impossible to increase the running
time of the local train our citizens
complain of: Our merchants who
have occasion to go over the route
frequently say that all they would
ask of Mr. Fillmiore, if he has plenty
of time tospare, would be for him to
take the train which leaves Sacramento at 2:40 Pp. m. and reaches Colfax at 7:07, and see for himself how
-it is run, and that if he did not make
a change as soon ay he got back to
Sacramento they would pay the running.expenses of the train for the
next six months. It is the bardest
work in the world for the engineer
to fill ‘in his time, so as not to be
ahead of the schedule. One of our
cisco six times within two. monthssays
that at Rocklin after the engine had
watered and wooded up not less than
en minutes was wasted every time,
and going from Auburn ‘to Colfax
when no freight. interfered: with
the train, that an ordinary plug
‘signed by the citizens of Nevada].
nection from San Jose, Stockton and}
Porins, dhck ox att these six trips
there has been a general growling
and disgust expressed by all on
board, and he heard more enrsing
any one of them than hehears
the streets of this city in six months,
All sorts of reasons are assignedjby
the passengers as to why the train
does not. make better time, and
every dishonorable motive imaginaable is charged against the Ce néral
Pacific Company. He believes the
company is not actuated by any
wicked motive, as most of the pasthat the officers are not fully aware
of the State of California. He
agrees with us in that ifany of the
officers of the Company should go
over the route they would say they
did not blame the people of Nevada
county for howling till they were
hoarse against such an imposition of
a train. :
By this train the mait and express arrive here at 9:18 in the evening, arid necessarily it must be after
10 o’clock at night before any letters
ing train. Inorder that our people
may get the mail at 9:18 the Narrow
Guage is compelled to leave Colfax
at 7:15, or eight minutes after the
arrival of the “hoodlum train,” (as-it
is called by everybody.) Thus
passengers can not get anything to
eat from 2 v’clock until 9:30, or after
they reach this city.
In the face of a1 these facts, our
people most {respectfully request Mr.
Fillmore to look into thejmatter and
aseertain if*something can not be
done. ‘The trouble of reaching this
city and Grass Valley ,has never
been so great, not even when our
people depended wholly upon stages
driven from Sacramento, It seems
td them that in this age of railroads
they should be accommodated more
than they are at the present time.
As we stated at the commencément
of this article, we believe as do many
of our people who do not attribute
dishonorable motives toward Mr.
Fillmore that the change will yet be
against the unjust arrangement, and
we know it may be kept up till
dooms-day without Mr.
notice wilt be taken of the— matter,
This article will be sent to Mr.
Fillmore personally.

A Sure Cure Found at Last! No One
Need suffer!
A sure Cure for Blind, Bleeding,
Itching and Ulcerated Piles has been
discoverd by Dr, William, (an Indian
Remedy,) called Dr. William’s Indian Ointment. A single box has
cured the worst chronic cases of 25
or 30 years standing. No one need
suffer five miutes after applying this
wonderful soothing medicine. Lotions, instruments and electuaries do
more harm than good. William's
Ointment absorbs the tumors, allays
the intense itching, (particularly at
night after getting warm in bed, )acts
asa poultice, gives ‘instant relief,
and is prepared only for Piles, itching -of the private parts, and for
nothing else.
Read what the Hon. J. M. Coffinberry of Cleveland says about Dr.
William’s Indian Pile Ointment; I
have used scores‘of Pile Cures, and it

relief as Dr. Williaii’s” Indian Ointment,
