: Ghe Daily Beanscript. “NEVADA CITY, CAle % GENERAL VU. 8. GRANT. FOR VICE PRESIDENT; _ .CHENRY WILSON. Worth ‘Considering. "Nevada county ought to have a -‘ailroad. Twenty thousand people . depending on stages and freight wagons for travel.-and 4 ortation’ should have enterprise and pluck ‘@ndtgh to build sach ‘a ‘roxd.” "The Sacramento. Union suggests a narrow. gauge road, to. ounnect with one which the people of Solano'andYolo counties propose to build to tide water.” ‘Nevada ‘cotzity wants such a road, and one might be built: te Aa’ Burn or evén td Sacramento, The revent Convention at St, Louis, com-. posed of railroad Presidents, spa neers, car builders and others, ‘of “years experience in the management ‘of toads, made a report on narrow : from which the following facts are obtained; and which we commend to the careful considera. tion of the people of this county: There are now about 60,000 miles of railroad constructed and in opera‘tion in this country. The cost of these roads has ranged from $20,000 to $60,000 a mile, averaging about $40,000 a mile. They represent $2,400,000,000, The cost. of the same number of miles of narrow gauge would have been $1,200,000. Or if the original sum had been invested in narrow gauge railroads, it would have furnished 120,000 miles, The great want of the age is cheap transportation, and this cannot be secured without cheaper railroads. The average cost of transporting freight by the broad gauge is 1% cants per ton per mile; and on the marrow gauge, 1 cent, or a saving of 33 per cent. in favor of the narrow gauge. This would admit of a saving of $4,000,000, or $100,000,000 in twenty-five years, a sum sufficient to build 10,000 miles of railroad at $10,-. 000 a miles.. A double track narrow gauge will not cost so much as a single track broad gauge. But the dou_ ‘Ble track thas constructed would ~~have-far greater capacity for. business. It is easier to obtain $10,000 for a mile of railroud than to obtain $30,v00, as everybody knows. The lightest broad gauge cuach weighs about 32,000 pounds, and hammers the rail joints with 4,000 pounds on éach wheel. The passenger car of a three foot gauge hammers the rail with 1,500 pounds for each wheel. The aavingin running expenses, repairs, etc., may be set down at 25 per cent. less for the narrow. than the broad gange. The report affirms that the narrow gague furnishes by far the best means for a general and quick development of our resvurces, for the following reasons: _. 1. Costing only about one-half as much as the broad gauge, it is within the meaus of all sections to build them; hence will enable them to avail thomselves of ruilway-facilities, where otherwise they will be compelled to dispense with them. 2. From their small cost, light operating expenses and small interest account they will proveto be paying investments, 3. They will supply the great want of the age, cheap transportation. 4. Cheapening transportation, . they will develop dormant interests more rapidly than our present costly structures, with their high rates, can possibly do. ae 5. Their general adoption in sections without railway facilities will enhance the value of properties largely.id excess of their cost. 5. Penetrating those sections,and * rapidly developing their resources by low rates, they will bring a large new business to the now broad gauge roads, enabling jhem to reduce their rates and thereby stimulate.old and uevelop new interests. Tuz New York World says:‘There . are huudreds of thousands of Demo_ crats who eantiot be induced to vote * for Greeley.”"” How many hundreds of thousands can the party afford to lose? Four years ago the Republican majority was about 300,000, and the latest elections show that. its strength . has very materially increased since. On. the whols,, thea, H, G.’s prospects are not very Guttering. — ‘Whither are We Drifting. ita tion, which has been so often asked the bloody chasm” made by the late war, and in consideration for his condescension he wanted to be made President. Asastraw, saysthe Enterprise, showing how the wind blows. , among certain of Greeley’s support ers, we copy the following from the Lexington (Mis-ouri) Caucasian of. Jane 29th. If it be declared that the Caucasian ia not a representative Democratic sheet, we will say that Greeley wrote aletter to its editor ‘some months since, in reply to one asking him (Greeley) to become a candidate fot the Presidency. The editor of the Caucasian published the letter, and it went the rounds of the press. As it appeared inthe Enterprise, we do not propose igiving a synopsis of it, farther than te say that Mr. Greeley declared he was wholly unfit to become a Democratic candidate for the Pres.deney because he was a ‘ferocious Protectionist’’ and the Democrats were all Free Traders; that they (the Democrats) made the great mistake of their lives in not nominating Chief Justice Chase in 1868, and that he would advise them to nominate him in 1872, etc. The disinterested advice of Greeley may be inferred, when he knew—as did also the Democratsa— that Chase had become an invalid from paralysis, from which he never expected entirely to recover. The Caucasian, however, rightly interpreted Greeley’s letter. It went on advocating his nomination by the ‘straight out’’ Democracy, and uow has his name flying at its mast-head. For the edification of our readers, . however, we give a few of the mottoes of the Caucasian which take precedenee of its chosen leaders. They are displayed in startling head-lines, but we contract them in small type, State Sovereignty!—White Supremacy snd Repudiation!—T his is Liberty! Our -Motto—Neyer Despair of the Republic. Our Platform—The Constitution of 1860, and the rights of the States! Our Doctrines—tLhis ‘is a White Man’s Government, made by White Men, for White Men and their Posterity, Forever! Down with the Fifteenth Amendment. Yunxee War Debt!—That Accursed, Unconstitutional Burden, accumulated by an Unconstitutional Mob styling itself a Congress, in the prosecution of an Unconstitutional Crusade, for the Accomplishment of an Un-constitutional and Horrid Purpoxe! Down with Bondholders and Taxation! Subordination of the Military to the Civil Authorities! Down with the Sutraps! Equal Taxation and the Rightful Representation of all the states; or Another Kebellion!—Revoluticn must be met by Counter Revolution!—Force by Force!— Violence by Violence! -And Usurpation should’be Overthrowy, if needs be, by the Bayonet! Down with ‘lest Oaths and Registrations! Vive la Mepubliqae! For President, HORACE GREELEY, Of New York. For Vice President, B. GRATSZ BROWN, Of Missouri. The first article under the editorial head of the Caucasian ia as follows: Gaaxp Ratixy—Openine oF THE Camparon—Turn Oot! Turn Our! Everysopy!-—Col. W. H. Hatch, the . only Confederate ‘candidate for Governor, will address the citizens of Lexington and Lafayette county next Monday afternvon atz o'clock. Col. Hatch was a suldier of the South in po lute struggle for True Democratic rinciples. He'sthe handsomest asnt ip the State for any position. om he’s as eloquent as he’s good looking. As a stump spouter he ‘hasn’t a superior in ali our commonwealth.

It ran in this wise: “‘Your course, and the course of others with you, in jumping from Grant to Greeley, is not unlike that of the monkey with the fiddle on the cone of a house. At each draw of the bow he jumped back, startled at the squeaking sound, Continuing to draw, and jumping Whack at each squeak, he made his last backward jump, and, falling heels over head, broke his _. So you, and others, in jumpfrom the squeaking of Grant's dats. are likely to make a fatal jump, which will land you all with broken necks on the hard ground of Greeley below.” ae Ewauism capitalists have got control of the Erie Railroad, and are going to consolidate with the New ».

He says: “The spectacle of a Demoeratic State Convention publicly eulogizing ‘the patriotism and pure motives’ of the cabal of sore-headed demagogues who assembled in Cincinnati and nominated the man who, of all others, has ‘contributed most to the establishment of the order of things against which we protest, is a sickening one fora Démocrat. As a delegate we earnestly protested; asa man,a Democrat and a journalist, we will never indorse the cowardly act. Tux following rebel Generals are all for Greeley: In, Louisiana, Beanregard, Longstreet and Hays. In Texas, John B. Hood, Im Mississippi, “Featherston, Walthall and
Humphreys. In Alabama, Pettus, John Morgan and Raphael Semmes. In Georgia, Gordon, Benning, Wofford and Wright. In. South Carolina, D. H. Hill and Ramsey. In Virginia, Imboden and Pickett.. In Tennessee, Forrest, Bates, Cheatham and Brown. General Grant has had the pleasure of receiving compulsory presents of swords from most of these gentlemen. . But then he isa “‘gift-taker.’’ <> iia tl Cuartes A. Dana, says the Cinpaign life of Greeley. He wrote one of Grant, and now confesses. virtually it was full of lies. “He is the man to write up Greeley. If honest Horace should be elected; Dana might get the Custom-house. Johnson refused it to Dama, and Grant also;, but Greeley might, yield, although he. has often spoken of as a great rascal. By the way, does the Great American slanderer, and it would be interesting to know how honest Horace treats him. We support the Republican party, says the Cincinnatt Commercial, because we believe its success of vital importance to the interest of the country. The election of Horace Greeley would in our estimation, be a public valamity. The (#azetie has been free to critizise the acts of the Republican party, and to condemn whatever it could not approve; but we have never contemplated a contingency that would'lead usto oppose that party. We favor reforms, and shall labor to bring them about; but we can can do this, as can all honest Republicans, better inside than outside of the organization. Tue Albany Evening Journal says: ‘‘Among all his supporters—unless, indeed, among his special personal friends—there is scarcely one who would not, in the frankness of private speech, confess that the candidacy of Mr. Greeley is utterly distasteful and repugnant to him. And that feeling never yet elected a President,”’ Somesopy says Charles Sumner is to ‘astonish thecountry’’ with a new onslaught on General Grant. He might do that by treating the President with candor andtruth, but he cannot by virulent attack. His ammunition is gone;, but he has ss his wad. Tar Gincinnall Enquirer says: ‘‘No man was ever elected President without the vote of New. York and Pennsylvania.” We have a distinct remembrance that the vote of New York was cast against General Grant in 1858.
