A Colorado. correspondent : of the Grass Valley Upion’ says: = When I first came out to Colota. w do,I incidentally heard of I. N. Daw~ ley, -United States Mail ‘Agent: Dawley! Dawley! I cogitated over the ‘name, and’ finally . found out it Was our old own “Jghin”’ arene Nevada county—"twenty years ago.”’ With my.‘‘pioneer”’ proclivitids Tt-went to ley was, and found out that ~ he was our aforesaid ‘Jobn,'’ and found out that he was absent down to Santa Hopsrex.-A man named Fred. Smith, says the Grass Valley Union, is accused. in. this county, o of the crime of robbery or grand larceny, wé do not know which. Smith.went last Saturday to a wood.chopper’s cabin, near Buitle’s ranch, east ofthe idaho mine, and broke into the cabin. « He made. a search in the eabin and found nothing of particular—-value, He then went up the canon to where the wood chopper prospecting who.the aforesaid. Daw-+ wasat awork, eee Smith asked for a}. match to light his pipe, and the accommodating ‘chopper went off a few “press upon-the minds of ouf resie! Fee on United States “Mail ‘business. Lo my * surprise, on gpening tlie ‘Denver papers, thismorning, the telegraph announced that “I N, Dawley is dead!"’ He had returned: from the South during iny absence much effort, but it-will do so-mtich: faster by active exertions, In the first. place, the proposed. seminary should be built at the first possible moment,. That of itself will add nearly as much, to the town ‘as the Railroad. Every man knows—what its adyantages tu the town would he, and-it should-at—oncebe—seeured:There are fons upon tons of fruit going to.waste here gach: year. Some efforts should be made to’ secure a . the idea to rid the Capital of the “Yecherous rascals, and although no one ean defend the measure on igeheral principles, yet late developments prove that there was a necessity for some action in the premises. ’. These very mev who have been howling about official corruption and bribery, and continually demanding investigations, are themselves the coveys who have been taking the bribes. "They are the,men who have been crying. stop thief! while they were ' getting away-with the-money of the corruptionists, Who can doubt that the proprietors of the” piiblications they represent have not had a part It is a noteworthy fact tbat those pa"pers which ~baye cried the loudest for reforms, and have been most persistent in charging corruption . against’ ‘Cohgressmen, and demanding inves‘tigations jnto railroad affairs, have been ‘tilent-when the Pacifie Mail investigation appeared upon the boards, “What is the reason of their present, silence? and what ‘means their apparent change in sentiment? It.is probable that further revelations from Washington may explain the ¥,whole: matter. For roundly abusing, and crening prejudice against transcontinental railroads, the Pacifie Mail company could afford to pay a good price. If thé railroads eould be made unpopular, the Steamship Company would be benefited. If the company hus rewarded some of its lickspitties, why not “all? If Easterti papers are paid for an indifferent fight, why not. Pacific -Coast—papers for the most valiant and persistent? Itis probable, the great Steamship Company did not regard these sheets as worth buying, but it js Singular how silent they have been iq demanding a rigid investigation.’ -A few grains ‘of allowance can with safety be in future amade when they commence their regular howl against railrouds and ‘ public men generally. ~ Frep Dovatas, in a lecture ‘in Chicago, a few evenings since, said: Peirtaect aromas one na “The hero of Harper’s Ferry had swooped down to strike a memoraLle blow for emancipation. He hadi ‘with hit only eighteen men, With ‘these he cowed into surrender a town of 3,000, aud the dozen companies of militia that came out to face him felt compelled to call on the Federal Government for assistance.The ery rang out then to} crush the seditious insurrectiqnists, ‘and they were surrounded, ° captised and executed. Now, when white men, and colored men, their lives in peril, and their property in jeopardy, ‘ask troops to save themselves from assassination at the hands of Kuklux and White Leaguers, a howl of in‘dignation runs from one end of the South to the other at this ‘usurpation of ‘authority’ and endéavor to protect the United States from the aiurderer and cut throat.” A Fine Drug ‘Biore. e P. H. Butler of San Juan has a drug store as well stocked as any . in the county. His. business is very ‘extensive, having as he does to fural “nish the section-of the county” from _ French Corral.to Columbia Hill, and auequal distance in other directions. His stock of drugs, boaks ; and and toilet articles generally , , would do ‘credit toa much largér town. — i a } market for it. “The railroad will make. a market for green fruit of every variety, kut one fourth of it-wil] not be shipped. A fruitdrier shoutd be. built to save the balance, anc if there was one, there would be large orchards planted near town in addition to those now growing. Every man owning . ground convenient to water should put it to some use by having it cultivated, ‘There willbe a market ‘for all that can be raised here. Finer vegetables cannot be grown in the State than are produced in this ‘vicinity. Some of the humerous Waterpowers near town should be used in propelling manufacturing inachinery. The V flume will afford © timber of every kind grown in the country above us and there is no. reason why. barrels, pails, casks and. tanks of every description, shouldjnot be made, not only for home use but for sale in other “parts. An ‘extensive vooperang establishinent would pay largely here and would give-employment to a Jarge force of men. es ‘bash, door aud blind factory could extend its’ business, to almost any limit. No better timber for the: purpose can befound anywheye than on the line and. adjacent . to the flume mentioned. “Our fopudry has the facility to cast almost any kind of iron used in the manufactire ef implements used by our farmers and . urchardists, and there is no reason’ why many kinds of them should not be made at home. In short, theré ire ‘dozens of industries which might be established here and each would add its quota of the town and county. All thatis requistte is for our mechanics, busihess men and capitalists to take hold of the matter, and success will surely attend their efforts. No. Use for Little Things. Up here inthe moutains such a mine as either theIdaho, Providence, or North Bloomfield is regarded as a pretty good thing. We know any number of men who would consider either ofthem quite a fortune, and quite-a number who would not object to a fractional interest: therein, But it seems that different vlews are entertained by people who bave frequented the Sto#k Board of late. We once knew a little doctor, who, three -years ago, thought a county agency for a life insurauce company was a good thing, and who, for-little more than expenses, did considerable electioneering for one of the candidates for Governor three years ago. If weare not mistaken the same doctor is now in yery ‘different circumstances, as per ‘the following from the Oakland ‘News: Dr. Farno yesterday sold his interest in a mine called the North Bloomfield. The Doctor has lately made a big haul in the bonanza, and held the little North Bloomfield in quiet contempt. In.a moment. of disgust with the latter he sold it for $2.50, and. the deed} > ¥ passed‘j over to Smith & Mather, who made the sale, and who are authorized: by . the Deetor to pay over the $2 50 to the Ladies’ Relief.

If thé railroads eould be made unpopular, the Steamship Company would be benefited. If the company hus rewarded some of its lickspitties, why not “all? If Easterti papers are paid for an indifferent fight, why not. Pacific -Coast—papers for the most valiant and persistent? Itis probable, the great Steamship Company did not regard these sheets as worth buying, but it js Singular how silent they have been iq demanding a rigid investigation.’ -A few grains ‘of allowance can with safety be in future amade when they commence their regular howl against railrouds and ‘ public men generally. ~ Frep Dovatas, in a lecture ‘in Chicago, a few evenings since, said: Peirtaect aromas one na “The hero of Harper’s Ferry had swooped down to strike a memoraLle blow for emancipation. He hadi ‘with hit only eighteen men, With ‘these he cowed into surrender a town of 3,000, aud the dozen companies of militia that came out to face him felt compelled to call on the Federal Government for assistance.The ery rang out then to} crush the seditious insurrectiqnists, ‘and they were surrounded, ° captised and executed. Now, when white men, and colored men, their lives in peril, and their property in jeopardy, ‘ask troops to save themselves from assassination at the hands of Kuklux and White Leaguers, a howl of in‘dignation runs from one end of the South to the other at this ‘usurpation of ‘authority’ and endéavor to protect the United States from the aiurderer and cut throat.” A Fine Drug ‘Biore. e P. H. Butler of San Juan has a drug store as well stocked as any . in the county. His. business is very ‘extensive, having as he does to fural “nish the section-of the county” from _ French Corral.to Columbia Hill, and auequal distance in other directions. His stock of drugs, boaks ; and and toilet articles generally , , would do ‘credit toa much largér town. — i a } market for it. “The railroad will make. a market for green fruit of every variety, kut one fourth of it-wil] not be shipped. A fruitdrier shoutd be. built to save the balance, anc if there was one, there would be large orchards planted near town in addition to those now growing. Every man owning . ground convenient to water should put it to some use by having it cultivated, ‘There willbe a market ‘for all that can be raised here. Finer vegetables cannot be grown in the State than are produced in this ‘vicinity. Some of the humerous Waterpowers near town should be used in propelling manufacturing inachinery. The V flume will afford © timber of every kind grown in the country above us and there is no. reason why. barrels, pails, casks and. tanks of every description, shouldjnot be made, not only for home use but for sale in other “parts. An ‘extensive vooperang establishinent would pay largely here and would give-employment to a Jarge force of men. es ‘bash, door aud blind factory could extend its’ business, to almost any limit. No better timber for the: purpose can befound anywheye than on the line and. adjacent . to the flume mentioned. “Our fopudry has the facility to cast almost any kind of iron used in the manufactire ef implements used by our farmers and . urchardists, and there is no reason’ why many kinds of them should not be made at home. In short, theré ire ‘dozens of industries which might be established here and each would add its quota of the town and county. All thatis requistte is for our mechanics, busihess men and capitalists to take hold of the matter, and success will surely attend their efforts. No. Use for Little Things. Up here inthe moutains such a mine as either theIdaho, Providence, or North Bloomfield is regarded as a pretty good thing. We know any number of men who would consider either ofthem quite a fortune, and quite-a number who would not object to a fractional interest: therein, But it seems that different vlews are entertained by people who bave frequented the Sto#k Board of late. We once knew a little doctor, who, three -years ago, thought a county agency for a life insurauce company was a good thing, and who, for-little more than expenses, did considerable electioneering for one of the candidates for Governor three years ago. If weare not mistaken the same doctor is now in yery ‘different circumstances, as per ‘the following from the Oakland ‘News: Dr. Farno yesterday sold his interest in a mine called the North Bloomfield. The Doctor has lately made a big haul in the bonanza, and held the little North Bloomfield in quiet contempt.
