Immediate Declaration : Wanted, _ The Grass Valley Union says there is nothing so satisfactory as perfect satisfaction, and people are going to get if when candidates get on the stump. It thinks th ominees,, when they get down tO work, will be. required to tell how they staxd upon _ the Republican Senatorial, question. Now we are of the opinion that candidatea are going to be asked about another and more important question. Legislative candidates are going to be inquired of how they stand on the Chinese question. They will be asked if, among the number of ~ men they have heretofore, or are communication from thése nominees * ‘unknown. now employing, the Mongolian has been, or is to be seen.’ The Union ‘truthfully’ says that ‘the political stump does not furnish the only means or opportunity for making the proper declaration.” ~ “The __ptess is ready tobe the medium of to an anxious and waiting public.’’ Now then, we propose if the Democratic papers Of the county shuuld refuse to publishithe sentiments of those nominees on that question, to throw open our columns any day of the week, including Sunday. © We “ puppose the Republican legislative nominees would consider it a mere} work of superogation to announce their position. They are not the employers of Chinese. The Gonvention that nominated them passed resolutions strongly antagoniistic to Chinese Jabor,and the nominees all heartily endorsed the resolitions. ‘lhe people’are satisfied with their posi_ tionand theirrecord-on this question , Now the voters, especially the white laboring men, the bone and sinew Democratic nominees think atid how they propose toact on this question. Havethey employed large numbers of Chinamen? are they doing it now? and do they intend to continue doing it? Will they attempt, if elected, : to discourage Chinese immigration and quit employing them themselves? An immediate declaration is due the people from them. neighbor will not consider us impertinent if we ask it to enlighten ‘the people how its party leaders stand on this qnestion, . How. does the Union itself stand on the issue? <> —_— Snow Sheds Burned, About 5o’clock Tuesday evening the snowsheds onthe Central Pacific railroad about two miles and a half east of Emigrant Gap were discovered to be on fire, and the blaze spread so rapidly that, though it was fought by a fire train from each side, it was not subdued until about seven o’clock,when 2,000 feet of shedding, together with track, had been de* Bsroyed, The origin of the fire is In consequence of its ogeurrence there will not be any oe ekpress train from Virginia City: this morning, but it will come through egusolidated with the overland express some time this evening. The express train which left this city yesterday afternoon, eastward bound, is detained at Emigrant Gap, and the lightning which left last evening will also remain somewhere in that vicinity until the track can be repaired, eat The dbove is from the ‘‘Record-Unjon.” That aecounts fgz. the non-arrival of the Eastern mail, Yesterday morning we received no mail from Sacramento or San Francisco and the night before only about one-half of our usual papers. When a fire occurs on the C, P. East of us the mails get alljambled up for ‘several days. Yesterday morning it was reported that the damage done by the snow-shed fire had not been repaired and the regular trains were at differ-' cut stations on the route waiting to get through. We presunre every. thing will ba straightened up to-day and we shall get our mail more regularly until another fire occurs.

The damage to be ascertained by arbitrators appointed for tbat purpose. Taken under advisement, The following communication was presented and ordered spread on the minutes. Nevapa Crrx, July 18, 1877. To the Hon. the Board.of Supervisors of Nevada County, Gentlemen: It having come to my knowledge that some person (who, I ‘am not informed,’ has started a rumor that a deficiency exists in Clerk’s fees, for the term of County Clerk during my iucumbency thereof, und feeling confident that an examination into the affuirs of said office, for the time mentioned will exonerate ‘me from such charge, I hereby challenge and demand an immediate investigation, pledging you in advance, that I will reimburse the county for any money that may be found due from me, if any there be. Most respectfully yours, J.J. Rogers. On motion ‘the Board adjourned until to-morrow at 10 o’clock a. mM. James D, Wurrs, Clerk, By John Webber, Deputy. Sam, Waaner, the sable, a day or two since published a card in the Chronicle, in which he ‘showed strong symptoms of going over to the Democracy, and gave as his reason that the Republican party had not exalted bis race. George H. Rogers, one of his race, makes a reply, from which we quote the following: ‘Our race is much cast down, it is true, but they are slaves no more, and ourchildren can go to school. This is so because of the party. you would. betray. That party has changed your condition and broken the fetters from our souls, and the rest we must do ourselves, And when you turn back on the friends who have redeemed jor race,and go back to those who were our oppressors, you only prove thint_ you, for One, was never tit to be free, a A. L. Bancroft, for Stationery, . Among thé feasons given for the recent disbandment of the Republican organisation in “hopelessly Democratic Southern States is the hope that this’ will lead to the breaking up of the Democrats themselves into two parties, each bidding for the colored and conservative votes. There “is already a considerable prospect of such a break in Virginia, where the Democratic State Convention will meet early next month, It begins to be suggested quite freely that President Hayes is not so far committed but tbat he can abandon his Southern policy if the South itself shall take advantage of it to perpetuate and intensify party and sectional jealousy and hates. r~ Gov. Hirtranft pats it in about the right way: ‘You would think Hayes’ poliey was afailure if you were to talk with many of the politicians; but, if on the other hand, you go differently, and think it a success. Tt seems to be popular with the people, as far as I have seen, everywhere.’’ The Governor does not think-the Democrats. will carry the ‘eountry in 1880, and believes the logie-of-events is-aguinst their—earrying any national election, unless under very exceptional . circumstances. As for the way the Presi dent treated the Southern question, of the Philadelphia Times he thinks the course adopted wes inevitable. Sitting Bullsays that the Custer massacre lasted only thirty minutes. That Custer, with a few men and offivers, had cut through the Indian line, when he turned and charged back. The Indians were bewildered by , this unlooked-for desperate charge, but closed in on the few men and killed them all, Caster, it is said, shot five Indians, and went down beating another with the butt of his revolver: This account. corresponds with others coming from Indian sources. .“Tf I deAn old deteetive says: cided to train my son f detective, I would first make him & newspaper reporter, Thut, beyond any other business, is the business that makes stupid men smart, ordinary men able, and capable men brilliant; and what an experienced reporter cannot detect is not worth detecting,”’ No action has been taken by the War Department towards ordering more troope away from the South. The Second Infantry, recently on duty at Atlanta, having been ordered Westto reinforce Genergl Howard, but few troops are left in the South. The whole body of troops now stationed in the Southern States, with the exeeption of those in Texas to operate against Mexican marauders, does not exceed 1,000 or 1,200 mén. Says the Petaluma Argus: ‘‘A victory for the Republican party in Sonoma county at the.coming election 'i8'more than possible. If every man who voted the Republican ticket at the last election will putin an appearance ut the polls next September, victory is assured.’’ In this county the figures were 267. This year we propose to make it 300 if it takes all Summer, In South Carolina the Republicans talk of disbanding. Does it ever-gccur to the Democratic leaders that they inay get the South too solid? The people of the North don’t like the look of States where the minority cannot even exist. ‘We have agreed to disagree’’ was the verdict solemnly rendered by a Sonoma county jury just at nightfall, and because of that verdict the Judge sent the jury back to its room and kept itthere until after breakfast next morning, ~ Jeff. Davis, it is said, will severely criticise in his memoirs the policy of Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, and will ‘. chargeupon him .the responsibility for the* non-pursuit of the Federal forces into Washington at the first Ball Run fight. ‘Railroad Accident, The regular overland -train .attempted to pass over the road near Tamarack, where the snowsheds were burned, on Wednesday night, and a fearful accident occurred. The train ran‘off the track, wrecking two locomotives 4s well as baggage and express cars, Eight or ten persons were badly crippled, but no one killed outright, Probably some of those hurt cannot recover from the ‘injuries reeeived. It appears the old rails were laid forthe Purpose of allowing the train to pass and owing to their defect the accident occurred. These are all the particulars we t could obtain, ¥ _. Phe Wheatland Flouring Mills. among the people, they talk very} the Governor tells a correspondent: The Wheatland ‘‘Free Press’’ says the citizens of Wheatland and vicinity subscribing for the purchase of. the Wheatland Flouring Mills property, met at that place Thurs. day and organized by ealling Mr. C. Justis to the chair, John Landis acting as. Secretary. “Twenty of the subscribers,representing $19,500 subscription, were reported present. It was uuaninously resolved that the association would proceec forthwith. to incorporate for the term of twenty years, under the title of ‘‘Wheatland Mill Company,’’ with a capital of $25.000, divided into’ 250 shares of $100 each. Mieesrs. M. V. Sparks, Dam and Wm. Harding were elected ‘Trustees, and all matters pertaining to the incorporation, drafting of bylaws,and the inauguration of a general milling business, were refered to them. The stock holders then adTrustees, The Wheatiand Mill Company’s Directors organized by electing M. V. Sparks, President; C?K. Dam, Secretary; and William Harding, Treasurer. Property of Husbands and. Wives. The rights of husbands and wives to the property which they respectively ging into the family, are defined bya bill’ which has passed the Legislature of ‘Connecticut. Tbe bill provides:that husband and wife shall not acquire by marriage any right to each other’s property; that the husband shall be. liable for all tenanceof husband, wife and children ;that the separate earnings of the wife shall be her own property: the wife may make contrasts or sell her real or personal property: that all her property shall be liable for debts; that the husband shall be liable for none of her debts contracted before marriage :nor for those .contracted before marriage, nor for those nor forthose contracted after -marriage, except for articles for the family, or the joint benefit of both; and that the husband and wife, respectively, upon the death of the other, shall each inherit durine the remainder of lifethe use of one-third of the other’s property. > + Six Million Mortgage. A mortgage of the property and franchises of the Northern Railway Company, to Eugene Kelley and Henry B. Laidlaw of New York, was filed for record in the County Recorder’s office, says the Contra Costa Gazette, on Thursday last. It is a very bulky document, and recites among other things, that the Company desiring ‘‘to complete the construction andequipment of its railroad, situated in the city and county of San Francisco, the counties of Alameda,-. Contra Costo, Solano, Yol», Sacramento, Colusa and Tehama,’ being two hundred and _ ten miles in length, has authorized the issue of 6,300 first mortgage bonds of the value of $1,000 each, payable in thirty years-from the first day of January, 1877, and bearing interent at the rate of six per cent., payable the mortgage filed for record is to secure payment of principal and interest of the bonds, per the “Northern Railway”’ starting in San Francisco terminates in Tehama county, where its connection is made with the Oregon and Califor. }nia road, belonging to the same _persons under another corporate name, asthey will own and operate the road from Martinez-to the Western Pacific junction underthe corpore te name of theSan Pabloand Tulare Railway Company. “Yue Dear MoruER.—Very tonching is the story ofa deaf and dumb mother’s anxiety to ascertain if her babe was likewise afflicted with her infirmity: Mary, Countess of Orkney, was deaf and dumb, and was married in 1753, by signs. She lived with her husband, Murrough, first Marquis of Thomond, who was also ber first cousin, at his seat, Rostelian, near Corkharbor, Shortly afterthe birth of her first child, the nurse, with considerable astonishment, saw the mother cautiously approach the cradle in which the infant was sleeping, évidently full ofsome deep design.

Nevapa Crrx, July 18, 1877. To the Hon. the Board.of Supervisors of Nevada County, Gentlemen: It having come to my knowledge that some person (who, I ‘am not informed,’ has started a rumor that a deficiency exists in Clerk’s fees, for the term of County Clerk during my iucumbency thereof, und feeling confident that an examination into the affuirs of said office, for the time mentioned will exonerate ‘me from such charge, I hereby challenge and demand an immediate investigation, pledging you in advance, that I will reimburse the county for any money that may be found due from me, if any there be. Most respectfully yours, J.J. Rogers. On motion ‘the Board adjourned until to-morrow at 10 o’clock a. mM. James D, Wurrs, Clerk, By John Webber, Deputy. Sam, Waaner, the sable, a day or two since published a card in the Chronicle, in which he ‘showed strong symptoms of going over to the Democracy, and gave as his reason that the Republican party had not exalted bis race. George H. Rogers, one of his race, makes a reply, from which we quote the following: ‘Our race is much cast down, it is true, but they are slaves no more, and ourchildren can go to school. This is so because of the party. you would. betray. That party has changed your condition and broken the fetters from our souls, and the rest we must do ourselves, And when you turn back on the friends who have redeemed jor race,and go back to those who were our oppressors, you only prove thint_ you, for One, was never tit to be free, a A. L. Bancroft, for Stationery, . Among thé feasons given for the recent disbandment of the Republican organisation in “hopelessly Democratic Southern States is the hope that this’ will lead to the breaking up of the Democrats themselves into two parties, each bidding for the colored and conservative votes. There “is already a considerable prospect of such a break in Virginia, where the Democratic State Convention will meet early next month, It begins to be suggested quite freely that President Hayes is not so far committed but tbat he can abandon his Southern policy if the South itself shall take advantage of it to perpetuate and intensify party and sectional jealousy and hates. r~ Gov. Hirtranft pats it in about the right way: ‘You would think Hayes’ poliey was afailure if you were to talk with many of the politicians; but, if on the other hand, you go differently, and think it a success. Tt seems to be popular with the people, as far as I have seen, everywhere.’’ The Governor does not think-the Democrats. will carry the ‘eountry in 1880, and believes the logie-of-events is-aguinst their—earrying any national election, unless under very exceptional . circumstances. As for the way the Presi dent treated the Southern question, of the Philadelphia Times he thinks the course adopted wes inevitable. Sitting Bullsays that the Custer massacre lasted only thirty minutes. That Custer, with a few men and offivers, had cut through the Indian line, when he turned and charged back. The Indians were bewildered by , this unlooked-for desperate charge, but closed in on the few men and killed them all, Caster, it is said, shot five Indians, and went down beating another with the butt of his revolver: This account. corresponds with others coming from Indian sources. .“Tf I deAn old deteetive says: cided to train my son f detective, I would first make him & newspaper reporter, Thut, beyond any other business, is the business that makes stupid men smart, ordinary men able, and capable men brilliant; and what an experienced reporter cannot detect is not worth detecting,”’ No action has been taken by the War Department towards ordering more troope away from the South. The Second Infantry, recently on duty at Atlanta, having been ordered Westto reinforce Genergl Howard, but few troops are left in the South. The whole body of troops now stationed in the Southern States, with the exeeption of those in Texas to operate against Mexican marauders, does not exceed 1,000 or 1,200 mén. Says the Petaluma Argus: ‘‘A victory for the Republican party in Sonoma county at the.coming election 'i8'more than possible. If every man who voted the Republican ticket at the last election will putin an appearance ut the polls next September, victory is assured.’’ In this county the figures were 267. This year we propose to make it 300 if it takes all Summer, In South Carolina the Republicans talk of disbanding. Does it ever-gccur to the Democratic leaders that they inay get the South too solid? The people of the North don’t like the look of States where the minority cannot even exist. ‘We have agreed to disagree’’ was the verdict solemnly rendered by a Sonoma county jury just at nightfall, and because of that verdict the Judge sent the jury back to its room and kept itthere until after breakfast next morning, ~ Jeff. Davis, it is said, will severely criticise in his memoirs the policy of Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, and will ‘. chargeupon him .the responsibility for the* non-pursuit of the Federal forces into Washington at the first Ball Run fight. ‘Railroad Accident, The regular overland -train .attempted to pass over the road near Tamarack, where the snowsheds were burned, on Wednesday night,

and a fearful accident occurred. The train ran‘off the track, wrecking two locomotives 4s well as baggage and express cars, Eight or ten persons were badly crippled, but no one killed outright, Probably some of those hurt cannot recover from the ‘injuries reeeived. It appears the old rails were laid forthe Purpose of allowing the train to pass and owing to their defect the accident occurred. These are all the particulars we t could obtain, ¥ _. Phe Wheatland Flouring Mills. among the people, they talk very} the Governor tells a correspondent: The Wheatland ‘‘Free Press’’ says the citizens of Wheatland and vicinity subscribing for the purchase of. the Wheatland Flouring Mills property, met at that place Thurs. day and organized by ealling Mr. C. Justis to the chair, John Landis acting as. Secretary. “Twenty of the subscribers,representing $19,500 subscription, were reported present. It was uuaninously resolved that the association would proceec forthwith. to incorporate for the term of twenty years, under the title of ‘‘Wheatland Mill Company,’’ with a capital of $25.000, divided into’ 250 shares of $100 each. Mieesrs. M. V. Sparks, Dam and Wm. Harding were elected ‘Trustees, and all matters pertaining to the incorporation, drafting of bylaws,and the inauguration of a general milling business, were refered to them. The stock holders then adTrustees, The Wheatiand Mill Company’s Directors organized by electing M. V. Sparks, President; C?K. Dam, Secretary; and William Harding, Treasurer. Property of Husbands and. Wives. The rights of husbands and wives to the property which they respectively ging into the family, are defined bya bill’ which has passed the Legislature of ‘Connecticut. Tbe bill provides:that husband and wife shall not acquire by marriage any right to each other’s property; that the husband shall be. liable for all tenanceof husband, wife and children ;that the separate earnings of the wife shall be her own property: the wife may make contrasts or sell her real or personal property: that all her property shall be liable for debts; that the husband shall be liable for none of her debts contracted before marriage :nor for those .contracted before marriage, nor for those nor forthose contracted after -marriage, except for articles for the family, or the joint benefit of both; and that the husband and wife, respectively, upon the death of the other, shall each inherit durine the remainder of lifethe use of one-third of the other’s property. > + Six Million Mortgage. A mortgage of the property and franchises of the Northern Railway Company, to Eugene Kelley and Henry B. Laidlaw of New York, was filed for record in the County Recorder’s office, says the Contra Costa Gazette, on Thursday last. It is a very bulky document, and recites among other things, that the Company desiring ‘‘to complete the construction andequipment of its railroad, situated in the city and county of San Francisco, the counties of Alameda,-. Contra Costo, Solano, Yol», Sacramento, Colusa and Tehama,’ being two hundred and _ ten miles in length, has authorized the issue of 6,300 first mortgage bonds of the value of $1,000 each, payable in thirty years-from the first day of January, 1877, and bearing interent at the rate of six per cent., payable the mortgage filed for record is to secure payment of principal and interest of the bonds, per the “Northern Railway”’ starting in San Francisco terminates in Tehama county, where its connection is made with the Oregon and Califor. }nia road, belonging to the same _persons under another corporate name, asthey will own and operate the road from Martinez-to the Western Pacific junction underthe corpore te name of theSan Pabloand Tulare Railway Company. “Yue Dear MoruER.—Very tonching is the story ofa deaf and dumb mother’s anxiety to ascertain if her babe was likewise afflicted with her infirmity: Mary, Countess of Orkney, was deaf and dumb, and was married in 1753, by signs. She lived with her husband, Murrough, first Marquis of Thomond, who was also ber first cousin, at his seat, Rostelian, near Corkharbor, Shortly afterthe birth of her first child, the nurse, with considerable astonishment, saw the mother cautiously approach the cradle in which the infant was sleeping, évidently full ofsome deep design.
