“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

not unlike that of the monkey with
the fiddle on the cone of a house.
At each draw of the bow he jumped

Tue Mariposa Gazette, ¢dited by
James H. Lawrence, is disgusted at
the transfer of the California Democracy to the Greeley party. 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.’’

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. Bat it will not be so ia
