The Daily Transcript] __ NEVADA cITy,, cAL, en ~-funday, March 9, 1873, Holitieal Reform. One Clark, of Oswego, New York, hés invented a new method of se-. lecting representatives of large constitnencies, which plan Peter Coper . indorses, and has caused.to be prin. ted for public information. The! proposition is to nominate and elect all public officers by representative . electors, whose constituents aré to, be-chosen by lot thus: The voters. in a ward. or town to be registered . as tiow-and-their names. to be pubdrawn-till the whole number of constituents are divided into as many tors to bé chosen. Each . list’ shall . “form. _4_primary electoral _ constitrie . ~V~ enty. “The persons whose names . aré’ ona list shall assemble soon after the drawing to choose its repre>—sentative elector, The representative _ electors thus chosen shall constitute the eléctorial college of the ward or have the power to appoint all. the officers of said district; and_ this local electoral college shall ‘have power to appoint electors to. county and State electorial.colleges, which higher colleges shall have power ‘to elect county and State officers. vote of these electors, shall fave weight in preportion to the namber of registered voters they represent. The advantage claimed by this system_over the present one, is. that “better public officers would be selected, politieal parties would be scat. tered to the winds, the politician’ 8 occupation would be gone, and friends and neighbors would no longer quare. rel over political matters. ‘sie The Modocs.President Grant's ‘inaugural, in which he expresses great tenderness for the Américan Indians—believing, as heévidently does, that they are more sinned against than sinning— ~indieates very clearly the course that will be pursued toward the Modoes. Already have the United States Peace Commissioners offered to this handful of aborigines full amnhesty—trans¥ portation to Angel Island, in the Bay . ef San Francisco, food and clothing there; until they can be carried toa new home to be selected for thém in the southern portion of California, and-in their new home they shall, have lands-and tools-and seeds and public care until they shall be able to take care of tliemselves; but all this Captain Jack and his warrior band of forty-seven braves like not, and it is doubtfal whether they will accept. It is evident-that -we shall have no more Indian wars if President Grant can fend them off—and for this declaration he will be hounded by a parcel of speculating contractors who may soon, however, ascertain that they are gnawing a file. ite J A Runaway.—Fridaymorning a span of horses, hitched to a wagon, ran away from’ near the corner of Mill and Neal streets, going down Neal‘to Auburn, and along Auburn towards the South, when they were stopped by the wagon striking a tel“““egraph pole, near Conaway & Bro,’s lumber yard. Mr: Fred Campbell, the driver, was in the wagon during the run and_was thrown out when the pole was struck. He received,a severe cut in the leftthigh, butis mot dangerously hurt. The team was engaged in hauling stone for the-street and loose planks in the Wagon bed. slipped forward against the horses which caused them to run. So says the Grass Valley Union. — A Dane, named Irickson, past the prime of life; was brought into Salt Lake on thé 24th ult, with his bands and feet frozen, Two weeks before: he had been refused admittance to a hotel at’ Rock Springs, andbeing compelled to lie out was frozen as nbove stated: It was thought he would die as both hands and feet would have to be e amputated. “Dr. Lucky, Principal of the State Normal School, will devote six weeks of the Summer vacation to a lecturing tour through the State, in the interest of education, He will comimence on the 9thof Apriland lecture in the counties of San Diego, Santa .
