Stabbing Attray. The Daily Transeript NEVADA CITY, CAL. On Tuesday evening, about eight o'clock, our usually quiet town was startled by the report of an affray on Commercial street, which resulted in the fatal stabbing of Thgmas Stewartson, a miner employed by the Manzavita Mining Company. The. name of the party who did the cutting is Mathew Young, who worked. inthe Manzanita last Winter, but who has since been in Virginia City and other places, but returned. here day, before yesterday. It appears that on the evehing in question, Stewartson was in the store of Mrs. Black, on. Commercial street, in conea Thursday, June 17, 1875 . Proxies, We concur with the Bulletin in the Jbelief that men elected to attend a \eonvention have no right to delegate to others the right to represent them. It is through this practice that the wishes of the people are thwarted. "A man elected to the Legislature bas as mach right to give a proxy s one a good deat of feeling manifested, and it was probably well that the party doing the deed was safely lodged in a secure place. About 2 o’clock Wednesday morning, it being-consideted that recovery was im. . possible; Justice Davenport took the statement of the wounded man, which we believe corresponds with . theabove facts. Last evening the wounded man was doing well, and some hopes were entertained of his recovery. : Lecal Brevities. . Another heavy shower visited this place on Tuesday night, and there were + howers daring the day yester— “elected to attend a convention, It is folly to talk about the people purifyer _-dng-parties by attending primaries -. nd electing staunch men to repre~ gent their wishes in nomivating con~yentions, when delegates can—tarn around and ‘authorize others to attend such conventions who would ° not have received a single yote for ~guch a purpose. In this county the: late Republican Convention was very a . careful in the selection of delegates. But when the State Convention met, ome whom it was sought to keep ‘out bad seats, and did mot represent the interests of the people. No wonder honest voters are disgusted aud disposed to reject all that was. done by tricksters. If thedate convention at Sacramento had been run by those ‘who were properly elected, all wouia now be well. Thera wasa growiby versution with-another gentleman. Young, in passing the store,—recogbands cordially, and Stewartson ask-. ¢d-some questions about what Young ee had been doing since he-teft, and. — Tbhere-was_a eave at the North what he was going to, dg now.
