ie Daily Transcript ie NEVADA = CALs a FOR PRESIDENT, a GENERAL U. 8. GRANT. Subject to the décision of the National Rey _ Publican Convention. ‘The itligant and State Paper Bills. The. Examiner, which has been built up by the patronage secured by’ the Litigant bill, is desirous of hav' ing it continued in force, and its proprietor is at Sacramento lobbying against the repeal, and calling upon ~ Democrats to stand by the law i in or: der’ 46 save” party papers. Col. ‘Roach, of the Zxaminer, would like to have the State paper bill repealed, and the Litigant bill in force,as then the Examiner-would get all the three .months’ notices of San Francisco, which are now published by the Sacramento Reporter. The latter’ publishes a certificate, showing who are stockholders, and declaring them all to be Democrats, and that the paper is in no way:under the control of the ‘Pacific Railroad. The Reporter of _ course would like the State paper bill retained. Itis evident from the course of the few friends: of these outrageous enactments that they are influenced by a mere desire for patrohage, and hope to make money by continuing the levy of forced loans upon the public. The opponents of these bills ave shown that the expense upon litigants is much farger than before the “passage of the law. The rates established by the ‘Litigant bill’ are one third larger thati before its passage, In some localities the advértisement of tax suits, for which a special law, giving $1 50 for each has been made under the Litigant bill, gréatly increased the cost.The pretext for this lew, and the only one, isto give notice, and yet in sme cases litigant papers have been published for weeks’ where hardly a dozen_copies were ~¢eirculated, and once; at least no paper was issued at all. The whole ¥ scheme was designed to Jevy a tax }upon the public for the support of party papers. Now all that the opponents ask is a fair competition i in the business of . publishing newspapers, They do not ask protection or spgcial benefits, but simply that every newspaper may ‘stand in the county and State upon its own merits as an advertising medium, and that the litigants shall be protected just as all other classes of people are, by givitig them the benefit of competition in the market. Now, attorneys and clients are compelled: not only to give advertising patronage to papers which they do not desire to support, but they are also in many cases ee, to subscribe for them. The Legislature will do an act of _justioe to-all papers by repealing the ~ Litigant and State Paper bills en. , and leaving the business of publishing to be sustained or fall ) pouring in upon us, onthe Bridge Road ques< tion. We would gladly give them all but cannot. We have no~more interest in that matter than eit desire to do justice, and aid, as far as we can, the people of every~ “part of the county in securing good roads, We have already given all the points made in defense of the road contractor and we think they have been fully presented. His , Communivation would have appearedin full were it not for its length, We to-day give a communitation ftom H. P. Sweetland, and if any defence can be made, we will publish it in full, provided itis not too long. ‘We are glad to have communications from every part of the countyon road matters, but they must be brief, and to the point.

San Juan to French Corral, also to your éoniments upon the road, and extracts of a letter written to _you,denying the truth of the former communication, and sdjing the road was 4 good one, giving as authority C. Davis, who runs an. express from San Juan to Frech’ Corral, going over the. road twiee, each way per day. In convetsation withMr. Dayis toner, saying he had never said the. Lvor of some measures being taken to improve it. Dr. Harris, whose extensive practice compels him to be much upon the road, and whois consequently one of the greatest sufferers, as his blacksmith’s bills will ati{ test, did-propose'to cover aud make smeoth the rocky portion of road below San Juan, and the money was subscribed for the purpose, when he was informed that the contractor would not permit him’ to interfere with the road. The residents of the ridge are amost universally dissatisfied with the road, and are determined to take some action’ in the~matter. Several have already filed legal notices upon the Road Commissioner, calling his attention to the general need of repairs upon the road, and asking that they be made at once, as is the right of citizens to demand, under the law, when contractors fail in their duty. . You spoke of traveling over the road last Summer, and finding it one of the worst in the county, and it certainly has not improved since that time, The county road ranning up the creek, and imtersecting the Ray road, is likewise in very bad condition, being in some places almost impassable. Your correspondent speaks of it as though it were very little used, and as if the bridge were of little consequence, except tome. Such is nit-the case; the road ‘being used constantly by residents of Sweetland and Birchville, en route for Nevada, and also by teams from Reeden’s mill, over 100,000 feet -of lumber having been hauled over -it during last year, The bridge is in bad con‘dition, and having been for some time unsafe for heavy teams, a ford has been made a short distance above; and avery ugly ford it is, with a steep bank on one side, and at rainy times, when there is much water in the creek, it is impassable. The eitizens are very much dissatisfied with this arrangement, _but_if the Commissioner determines not to rebuild the bridge, but to make the county road by the ford, I shall apply to him to declare the bridge abandoned by the county, and will build one at my own expense, and keep it for my private use. Iam glad that you received and published that defense of the contractor, for it has aroused our people, and I am certain they will ‘not rest, until their demands for bet-. ter.roads are complied with. Yours, H, BP. Sweeranp, AnrrrsTep.—The Grass. Valley Republicun says: W.-J3. Allen was ar-. rested Friday at Reno by officer Lawrence, and arrived in town on the stage on Friday evening. The charge against Allen is for conceal’ ment of property for the purpose ot defrauding his creditors. He was arrested upon a requisition frony Governor Booth. Allen had a preliminary examination yesterday forenoon-before Justice Smitn, He was required to give bail in the sum of $5,000 to appeur at ten o’clock for further examination. Upon application off G)L. Waters, Allen’s attorney, the bail was subsequently reduced to $3, 000, Pic Cur Orr. —Saturday ‘two small children, a boy aged two years and a half and a girl aged about 18 month, son and daughter of the late John Bennett Jr., were engaged at play with a hatchet. The little boy undertook to split a piece of wood which the little girl held for him, of the girl, and cut off two fingers of entirely severed, andthe second finger was cut ‘through the bone. Dr. has so replaced the fingers that the asking hand will be, in all_probability, entire. Se ae Vv } day, he expressed surprise at—having’ seen his name used in“such : “ast considered it very bad, and is in fa-+ /. say, in bringing more people to this ‘. $400 per month to devote to whisky, The hatchet came down on the hand . . the right hand. The fore-finger was. MeCormick dressed the hand and. tee Aid U in its efforts to proeure sum at the expense of ‘the people of California. A bill is now: before the Legislature appropriating the snug little sum of $2,500 per month— $30,000.per annum, The~ bill is backed by a petition from San Fran‘cisco, says the San Joaquin Republican and an exhibit showing that the proposed expenses of the scheme will amount to $2,750. per. month. But, say the managers, perhaps some of these expenditures may not océur, and we may be able to get along with $2,500 per month, which sum-we pray the-Legisiature to vote; us-out of the State Treasury. Now . here i is One of the finest exhibition of eheek evér~ seen, even in this’ cheeky State.” To-day there are hundreds of men searching for employment—-men who are anxious.and willing to work—and while these men are traveling about from place to-place seeking: an opportunity to work for $30 per month, a few gentlemen in San Francisco who do not want work and never wanted. it enough to take hold of it, are asking for $2,500 per month out of the tax payers’ pockets to use, as they country. Such bare-faced attempts to fleece the people should be treated as they deserve—with the. utmost contempt: . Atmong:the monthly items of expense noted are $100 -for office rent; $200 manger’ s salary; $200 general agent's salary; $100 traveling expenses. This is cool, Suppose the duties of manager~and general agent are performed by one person, (we dare say those duties. will not exceed the capacity of a small boy) he would be able to-spend—the—-$100travéling éxpenses at the GrandHotel, and have a nice little income of rs billiards and shining tiles. Then . we have $200 for postage and freight; $200 for alecturer in the east; $100 clerk’s salary; $200 for London and Liverpool agency, and $100 for agena round . filed its application ee int ae eer Mining Claim, and the lew: and> q i vided having . eo coarplis ith 1s 10 it is ereby ordered that_the annexed Notice of such Application be published --for:ninety said claim,at Nevada city, in Nevada County, State of California.L.

The enumeration -of_little—items= of . ® expense—$100 for this and' $50 for that—goes. on until the sum total foots up $2,750 per month, But it is important and should ‘be remembered, that the Unicn thinks it may worry through “with $2,500 per month. --$30,000-per year. We thitik it likely, and unless a majority of the Legislature is made} ‘up of thieves ‘and -knaves, the man‘ager-and general agent will not draw the trifling little salary of $200 per month from the pockets of the taxpayers of this State. Look at the absurdity of the thing. The Legislature has. just appropriated $300 per month to a Labor Exchange—an institution established for the purpose of finding employment for those who cannot find it for themselves— and now another concern comes in and asks for a gift of $2,500 per month in order that it may furnish the $300 per month beneficiary with more work todo. The managers of these begging societies must think the people of the State fools, with just intelligence enough to work while they spend the money. San Francisco is in the habit of boasting her representation of thirty per cent. of our entire population. She now asks the Legislature to vote the ‘‘Impudent,’Aid Union $2,500 per month. Seventy per cent. of the people do not want any such appropropriation made. The greater portion of the appropriation, if made, wduld _be spent in San Francisco. Let San Francisco make the appropriation. The people of the State do not desire to invest in an Immigrant Aid Union. We have enough people here . now such as they are. People know all gbout California. No part of . God's footstool has been more generally and thoroughly advertised. They read of California wherever they read at atall—in every language and in every clime. So long as the: State must support a Labor Exchange to find work for the people who are here, it is folly to vote. appropriaEo = <i Taiian are 76 hotels in Restenain Ll pee fo Rac 6 e THE Members of Lodge gr No, 13, F. & A.

San Juan to French Corral, also to your éoniments upon the road, and extracts of a letter written to _you,denying the truth of the former communication, and sdjing the road was 4 good one, giving as authority C. Davis, who runs an. express from San Juan to Frech’ Corral, going over the. road twiee, each way per day. In convetsation withMr. Dayis toner, saying he had never said the. Lvor of some measures being taken to improve it. Dr. Harris, whose extensive practice compels him to be much upon the road, and whois consequently one of the greatest sufferers, as his blacksmith’s bills will ati{ test, did-propose'to cover aud make smeoth the rocky portion of road below San Juan, and the money was subscribed for the purpose, when he was informed that the contractor would not permit him’ to interfere with the road. The residents of the ridge are amost universally dissatisfied with the road, and are determined to take some action’ in the~matter. Several have already filed legal notices upon the Road Commissioner, calling his attention to the general need of repairs upon the road, and asking that they be made at once, as is the right of citizens to demand, under the law, when contractors fail in their duty. . You spoke of traveling over the road last Summer, and finding it one of the worst in the county, and it certainly has not improved since that time, The county road ranning up the creek, and imtersecting the Ray road, is likewise in very bad condition, being in some places almost impassable. Your correspondent speaks of it as though it were very little used, and as if the bridge were of little consequence, except tome. Such is nit-the case; the road ‘being used constantly by residents of Sweetland and Birchville, en route for Nevada, and also by teams from Reeden’s mill, over 100,000 feet -of lumber having been hauled over -it during last year, The bridge is in bad con‘dition, and having been for some time unsafe for heavy teams, a ford has been made a short distance above; and avery ugly ford it is, with a steep bank on one side, and at rainy times, when there is much water in the creek, it is impassable. The eitizens are very much dissatisfied with this arrangement, _but_if the Commissioner determines not to rebuild the bridge, but to make the county road by the ford, I shall apply to him to declare the bridge abandoned by the county, and will build one at my own expense, and keep it for my private use. Iam glad that you received and published that defense of the contractor, for it has aroused our people, and I am certain they will ‘not rest, until their demands for bet-. ter.roads are complied with. Yours, H, BP. Sweeranp, AnrrrsTep.—The Grass. Valley Republicun says: W.-J3. Allen was ar-. rested Friday at Reno by officer Lawrence, and arrived in town on the stage on Friday evening. The charge against Allen is for conceal’ ment of property for the purpose ot defrauding his creditors. He was arrested upon a requisition frony Governor Booth. Allen had a preliminary examination yesterday forenoon-before Justice Smitn, He was required to give bail in the sum of $5,000 to appeur at ten o’clock for further examination. Upon application off G)L.

The little boy undertook to split a piece of wood which the little girl held for him, of the girl, and cut off two fingers of entirely severed, andthe second finger was cut ‘through the bone.

A bill is now: before the Legislature appropriating the snug little sum of $2,500 per month— $30,000.per annum, The~ bill is backed by a petition from San Fran‘cisco, says the San Joaquin Republican and an exhibit showing that the proposed expenses of the scheme will amount to $2,750. per. month. But, say the managers, perhaps some of these expenditures may not océur, and we may be able to get along with $2,500 per month, which sum-we pray the-Legisiature to vote; us-out of the State Treasury. Now . here i is One of the finest exhibition of eheek evér~ seen, even in this’ cheeky State.” To-day there are

hundreds of men searching for employment—-men who are anxious.and willing to work—and while these men are traveling about from place to-place seeking: an opportunity to work for $30 per month, a few gentlemen in San Francisco who do not want work and never wanted. it enough to take hold of it, are asking for $2,500 per month out of the tax payers’ pockets to use, as they country. Such bare-faced attempts to fleece the people should be treated as they deserve—with the. utmost contempt: . Atmong:the monthly items of expense noted are $100 -for office rent; $200 manger’ s salary; $200 general agent's salary; $100 traveling expenses. This is cool, Suppose the duties of manager~and general agent are performed by one person, (we dare say those duties. will not exceed the capacity of a small boy) he would be able to-spend—the—-$100travéling éxpenses at the GrandHotel, and have a nice little income of rs billiards and shining tiles.

The enumeration -of_little—items= of . ® expense—$100 for this and' $50 for that—goes. on until the sum total foots up $2,750 per month, But it is important and should ‘be remembered, that the Unicn thinks it may worry through “with $2,500 per month. --$30,000-per year. We thitik it likely, and unless a majority of the Legislature is made} ‘up of thieves ‘and -knaves, the man‘ager-and general agent will not draw the trifling little salary of $200 per month from the pockets of the taxpayers of this State. Look at the absurdity of the thing. The Legislature has. just appropriated $300 per month to a Labor Exchange—an institution established for the purpose of finding employment for those who cannot find it for themselves— and now another concern comes in and asks for a gift of $2,500 per month in order that it may furnish the $300 per month beneficiary with more work todo. The managers of these begging societies must think the people of the State fools, with just intelligence enough to work while they spend the money. San Francisco is in the habit of boasting her representation of thirty per cent. of our entire population. She now asks the Legislature to vote the ‘‘Impudent,’Aid Union $2,500 per month. Seventy per cent. of the people do not want any such appropropriation made. The greater portion of the appropriation, if made, wduld _be spent in San Francisco. Let San Francisco make the appropriation. The people of the State do not desire to invest in an Immigrant Aid Union. We have enough people here . now such as they are. People know all gbout California. No part of . God's footstool has been more generally and thoroughly advertised. They read of California wherever they read at atall—in every language and in every clime. So long as the: State must support a Labor Exchange to find work for the people who are here, it is folly to vote. appropriaEo = <i Taiian are 76 hotels in Restenain Ll pee fo Rac 6 e THE Members of Lodge gr No, 13, F. & A.
