ey = WPMIDMAY. JULY 23. 1568) —— bE : *: T. HB BOLFE, For igs 7M Dave ub Tomr hs. For For “A Sthoviz. STEVE VES: x PRESTUS. G.K FakquaaR os &. GETCH4sLi . 5 secu J. 4 LaASCasTEn. Postal Telegraph Bill, which wes sabmitted by the Postmaster General to graph office in conncction with every UsION BEPUBLICAN Se barred 3 . ; . pesdey, but ix post office in any town of 5,000 inhab-~ itante or over, at railroad stations and . "hich he ie named with honor, and it the payment for messages by stamps, . _ tnd their reception at every post office, eub-office or street letter box, and their transmission, on contract, by telegrapli companizs. Every message is to be . delivered free within a mile of the ice, or transmitted by mail to the nearest point to ite destination: I: pro. Wlegraph. The Postmaster Gencral is ‘Ist. Messages of twenty words or Sgures, or lees, including date, address ead signature, and for cach sdditional five words. : 2d. Similar messages when directed . » be transmitted between 6 Pr. ix. and 7 A. M. the next morning. _ 34. Similar messages when averaging 200. words per month. 4th. Local messages when distance does not exceed six miles. 5th. Messages of 500 words average daily for one year. 0h. Messages for railroad companies After this comes a proviso, deciaring ~ that “no-bid shail-bereceived in which "fates Yor twenty words or figures exceed 20 cénte for each 500 miles or less, or five conte for each added five words.” The bill then provides that after three months, given for the reception of bids,’ contracts may-be made with com panies for the term of ten years’ and the re mainder relates to the details of the plan. ae es jes Should this law be passed the cost of * message from Nevada to Chicago would be about 80 cents for 20 words, taking the largest amount that would be charged. The system provided will be much mory complete than the present. tele graph arrangement, and instead of haying Hines which only extend to the larger places and are half the time out of order, the companies being bound by contract with the Government to maintain goed linesand keep tiem constanil y -in order, will be more likely. to do so. The great advantages to be derived by the public from ‘the éstablishment of this system, would warrant Congress in taking early action on thp bill, and we doubt not that even at the low rates . specified in the’dill the system will more than sustain itself, Tho cost of transmitting messages is estimated at one mill per word, which would give the Gofernment vino mills. surplus.’ Postmaster General Randall says; “A _ thorough oxamination of the Postal Telegraph subject has satisfied mo that the Department can arrange for the reception and delivery of messages, the furnishing of stamps, and kegping the accounts, without any great increase in the number of clerks; that the busmess may be made a source of revenue to the Government; and that the effi-, ciency of the country postinasters may be increased by employing them in con{adoption of which measure we hope . rarely reaches the nineties, basdreds of a fainting §: from over erertion ~San= i the bench. 0. C. Pratt is now Distric: Judge of the Twelfth District in-San Francisco, and is one of the ablest lawyers in the State. per is now engaged in advocating the all the papers on this coast, and the . soon to hear of. In this connection we would state that the San Francisco Herald has reduced the price of its subscription fifty per cent, and should be patronized by those who wish a newsOS general information. George R. Crawford is the Agent for Nevada City. ges “Non Grass Vatier.—lIn all the plans Eastern visitors to this coast form; we seo no mention of a call being made on ourtown. If those gentlemen who pase age 9 ne wah snowy give Grass Valley the.go by,t ave come to the Pacific coast in vain. Pike is no other town in the world where they will see such extensive gold mines ; and there is none from which tourists, who are men of consideration, can pack away such liberal specimens. The specimens are worth coming after, even if our. mineg are not worth seeing. Some of the big papers velow ought to suggest the liberal treatment Grass Valley always gives to visitors, to those commercial and Congressional tourists now at Ban. Francigco.”” The above offer of “bribery aad corruption” we take from the Grass Val-ley Union. Distinguished visitors" always come to Névada City without promises of giving them rich specimens. WE never knew that Mr. Johnson had any particular claims upon the Democratic party of this State, until so informed by the editor ot the TRans-~ criP?T.—G@. V. National. You are evidently not posted. Mr. Johnson, we are informed by an intimiute friend of his, has always been avery stzict Democrat; was élected District Attorney of Mendocino county 48 @uch, edited a Democratic paper there, and lastly was Appointed by Andrew Johnson as a Democrat. In the light of these facts, your statement that‘ Mr. Johnson has “been a staunch opponent of the Democratic party until recently,” will hardly go down. ‘ Dip Not ARRIVE-—Hon-T; A. Hendricks did not arrive here yesterday, as it was rumored he weuld. The Sacra~ go mentans are expecting him to through-¢o their town, and they think he will not stop at this principal gold mining town of the State.—Grass Vals ley Union. Don’t show your ignorance. Hendricks is booked for Nevada City, and woshall bave the honor of seeing him “first,” s0 you need not find any fault with our Sacramentu friends. PrRopuge THE PRoor.—The Grass Valley National says we undertook to justify the iate removal of Mr. Johnson. ‘We demand the’ proof of your assertion Mr. National,without further quibbling. We never attempted ta justify his renection with’the telegraph.” moval and dare you to the proof. 8. F. HzzaLp.—Tihs enterprising pa. Grass Valley National of W ———— ee —_— ts cs . hite woman, .

A“winch” was brought into use and a rope tied to an oak tree to keep it in its place. The tree gave way, and the “winch” came with great force against Phillips. Three ribe on the ieft side and the breast bone were broken, .besides the lings were injured a0 severely that the air escapes—into the cellular tissues under the skin. “Dr. Simpson was sent for, and reports that Phillips is very badly hurt and suffering from internal hemmorage. Svicibeat TRUCKEE.—We are in~ formed bv a dispatch, received on Wednesday, from Truckee, says the Sacramento Union,that or. Tuesday a Frenchman named L. Labat committed suicide at that place by shooting himself in the head. He had dressed himself in a fal suit of black clothes, with white shirt and white kid gloves; and then lying down in a» hammock put the pistol to his head and fired, killing him instantly. “His effects consisted of a box of cigars and a bottle of whisky. He left a note requesting to be buried at the foot ofa pine tree, in a rough box made of four pine boards, and fastened with only twelve nails. . EMPLOYMEST.—A gentleman from the North Bloomfield Gravel Company’s . works was in Grass VaHey on Wednes~ day to procure hands to work on the reservoir, He wanted scorers and hewers, and was any $3 and $3 50 per day for good men. Itseems there is no scarcity uf work in this county,as much as dull times are complained about.— Union. Yes, the same gentleman’ was in this city,and was unable to find a suffi-. cient number of men to goto work on the above works.
