. Ble Daily Transcript _ NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA. —! z F< Soke 2 -Dustrrurion AND HELP.—Citizens and Christians! are you aware of the istence of a Society among us, ‘whose object is to help the needy and relieve the distressed? Before going to hear the mbring discourse on this Sabbath day, revolve the fact in your minds -that.sach a Society has been silently ‘bestéwitig its alms during more than a _ year, arid ask yourselves if youare members 6f fhat benevolent institution. We preserit this matter for your Sunday morning’s meditations. Think not if . you are comfortably fed and clothed that all others are so. While you are enjoying every Viessing, some of your ‘melghbors are pinched. with want and sunk in despondency. It is not the part of philanthropy to see the helpless . in distress without trying to afford relief, nor-does it evince nobility of soul to pass by on the other side, leaving to & few good Samaritans the care of those ne : organized on the 23d of January, 1867. "It has been kept up so far by the exertions and contributions of'a few individ. mals, and has not becomea charge upon } the whole community able to pay, as it ought to be. Some districts of the “ity liave been” well canvassed, while _.. in_others, after repeated trials, none have been found ready or willing to solicit contribuiting members to tho Society. Encouraged, however, by the goodness of the cause, the méiiibers of the Society have gone on and for more than a year have endeavored with the _ limited means at their disposal, to give _-. hope and succor to all the distressed _ who came to their notice. During that time there have bven collected and dis— _-__bursed more than four hundred dollars. _» Fifty-five cases of destitution have been relieved, and sixteen persons beside _. their families ‘have felt the upholding arm of the Society. That it has done good commensurate, with its ability, ~ none Know better than the officers of the Society who have visited the houses of the distressed, except those who have been the beneficiaries. But the Society should be general, Every part of the city should contribute to its support. Every person who is able to do _ 80 should be a contributing and acting member, that its sphere of usefulness __.» may be enlarged, and the pleasure of relievmg the needy be experienced by every generous heart alke. _ A few officers and members of tle Society met on Friday evening to discuss the propriety of disbanding the ormt that but a few were undertaking to relieve the poor,while co-operation should come from all, and a whisper had been ~~ heard that not a shilling came from the hands of any member of one: political party, while nearly every dollar had gone to aid the devotees of that party . The complaints may be, an _ ate, mainly well founded, yet the Socie~ ~~ $y was organized on a purely. benevolent basis, and can take no cognizance of the political opinions of its members _. orbeneficiaries. It must, however, be ‘plain that when men who are able refuse to give a cent for benevolent purposes, and',the curious fact should be disclosed that they all recognize the same political bond, while the coincidence should be observed that the large majority needing assistance are of the same faith, deprecatory remarks cannot well be prevented, and some with the best intent will refuse to longer contribute, unless a broader liberality is manifested by the whole community. The whole matter was discussed in a catholic spirit by the members of the _ Society in attendance on Friday eve_ ‘ming, and though some of them went ~~ with the view of arranging the business of the Association so as to disband, oes of and that.a hope still r . a of making ‘the contributions Society mote general, it “was “he Nevada Benevolent Society was which controlled 1 __. ganization. Complaints had been heard [. better footing. Does it havethe-sym‘pathy of the public? Reader,@oes it have your sympathy, and are you ready to ¢o-operate with the objects of the Association? ‘These are proper questions to ask one’s self on Sunday morning, or any hour. during the week. (A decision is wanted. Two classes are deeply interested, the sympathetic and those needing sympathy and assistance, BeaTEeN.—In vulgar parlance, “Pendieton’s goose is cooked.” Belmont have determined that the masses of the party shall have no say in the nomination of a candidate: It is undoubtedly true that a majority of the party want: Pendleton, but Belmont is Chairman ot the National Committe and a large holder of government stocks, He don’t like Pendleton’s system of finances and, will not snffer him to be a candidate.— Tt is needless to say that Pendleton would have been nominated if the Convention had been held in any Western State. The managers knew this and therefore called it at New York. This announcement’ means the defeat of the Democratic pet. York Democracy, headed by Belmont, The same influence n the last Presidential nomination will triumph in this, to be overcome. themselves witha leader heretofore not identified with their party. It is stated on authority that the effort will be son, he having proved himself worthy by his administration, The Demoeratic journals have much to say about Radical bondholders, while they seem to‘be blind to the fact that the Democratic bondholders are getting the control of their own organization, for thé purpose of beating their favorite for the Presideney, ” I Grey, THE TownsHip Lixe—Numerous inquiries have Been made by persons owning lots in this city, as to whether their property is included in the gov— ernment survey on file in the Clerk’s Office. As the city is not marked off in streets and lots on that map it is difficult for many to tell, There is, however, a large map of the town in the City Marshal’s office, on which every lot and street is laid out. County Sur— survey on this map; and all property holders may easily_ascertain by reference to it whether they are included in the government survey or not. All property west of ‘the line is included in: the survey. : New REVENvE Law.—Schenck, from the Committee of Ways and Means, reported in the House of Representatives a bill for the relief of certain exporters of distilled spirits. After explaining the bill, Schenck went on to give the House inforniation as to business before the Committee of Ways and Means. The present tax laws he said, were-prolix, contradictory and full of repetitions, and, in fact, such a mass of crude legislation that it had beenthought advisable to report an entire revision of the whole system, with alj its provisions. The Committee are now at work preparing a bill of that kind, and he hoped to report in a week or two. The Committee ed to imfactures, except, perhaps, five or six articles-‘and those pnrely articles of luxury. ae Tur Tax LEvY.—The Board of Supervisors yesterday made a formal levy of taxes in order to comply with the law, but the rateg,will be changed as the State tax has not yet been levied. State tax, $1 13. County Tax—Gene. ral Fund, 12 cts. ; Special Fund, 10 cts,; School Fund, 28 cts. ; Indigent Sick Fund, 20 cts.; Road Fund, 8 ects Total—@1 91. ; THE Senate on Friday passed resolutions censuring the President and indofsing the course of Congress, and ordefed the Governor to telegraph them to Wade and Colfax. ON motion of Hager of the Senate, a special committee of five was appointed to investigate the uffairs of the Central Pacific Railroad Company. “Yue IMPEACHMENT.—The. Herald’s special states that it is believed in Washington that a two-thirds vote against the President will be obtained in the Senate. It. is also stated that the. charges by the Houée will be emies gia eae OF and those who control the Democracy .
