When they reached the foot ofthe bluff scuth of the lava beds, the Modocs, many of them armed with Spencer rifles and bseach loading —guns,-0 so hot a fire. that the troops were obliged to take refuge in. the crevises and retreat.

In a communiestion to the Record the inauguration of the Odd Fellows’ norates as follows of this city: I find Nevada much changed frem its appeatance since I first knew it in 1955. It has undergone the ordeal ‘of fire several times sinée then, and yet carries in its Chinese quarter ( in the very heart) the ready. materials for s cobMagration. “I wonder that self interest does not make some other disposition of these pests. _derfully improved in appearance, having sonmte of the best built edifices and finest ¥esidences in the State. “It has flourishing orders of Masons and Odd Fellows. As to churches, the Gongregationalists, Baptiste, Methodists and Roman Catholics have each & building of their own. ‘The Bpiscopalians have jrst inclosed what, when completed, will make the best and handsomest church edifice im the place. There is also a large and fine public school edifice, with wellgraded schools taught therein. The Court House, it being the “third erected in the plate, is commo. commanding site, There are two large first class hotels—the National kept by Lancaster, and the Union, vy Baton. I hear that Lancaster is Merritt's mammoth new hotel, on Twelfth street. If so, I can vouch that he ‘‘knows how te keepa hotel.’ Some mines in the vicinity of Nevada are very prosperous, but it will agit in that particalar. -It-is a place of considerable business. They areall on the qui vive at present about nartow gauge railroad to Colfax, which I trast will be a reality “det eré tiaiiy months. I have many pleasant reminiscences of this place, and I am always aud find that thé only change in eitherofus is that time has made us grow older, and may T not hope better, also. é Mun flood im the Sraniinns Ontario, Canada, shows no abatement por The lower portions of the city of Three Rivers are submerged, an bank above and below the sity, and inflicted. ss} iteliste offered to build ‘a road from ‘construction of such road.__He says} . for the people of ‘4 city or town tobe Ed. Transcript: Ut I tm able to draw any conclusions from the tone ‘ot Judge Stidger r’s last letter, dn the subject of county aid to build a railto elaim greatly modified his position, The Judge admits that, as individuals, we ‘occupy like positions; and that the ‘only question between us, is the difference of opinion as to the duty of a legislator relative to the ‘enactment rot.a law authorizing the voters of the county to vote on a proposition to give aldto « railroad. He: says vote to leave such voters of the name of reason, who “would he leave it to? Would ‘he assume to himself the fas ak ator, to fix the question to} suit his own particular whims, with. out regard to the will of his constitu. ents? This is indeed, dangerous . ground, and will not bear the scruvant superior te his master, the people, and ignores the doctrine of self government. He then knocks all of his anti-subsidy doctrines into pi, by declaring in favor of a law to author-{ ize the legal yoters of Grass Valley and Nevada to determine for themselves whether said cities in their . corporate capacity, should subscribe to the capital stock, to aid in the that he would vote for such a law because the property holders and business men in those cities would be benefited thereby. By this line of argument he comes right back to my original proposition, and admits that to secure a, railroad in Nevada county, that aid outside of private or individual subscription, i is to be had, asa basis of capital upon which to operate; and it matters’ not in what shape be puts it, whether the aid is to be by towns, cities or county, in their corporate capacity, the principle is the same; we must ‘‘put up of shut up,” ond the people of the county, in their individual and corporate capacity is the only power to arbitrate this question. There is an old adage, which says, “what is sauce for the goose, is sauce for the gander,”’ If it is proper permitted, by special act of the Legislature to determine this question for themselves, why not the people of this county? The voters and taxpayers of the county, can and will cougider this question in a business light, just as Judge Stidger does; . and will sum it all upin the simple question, ‘will it pay?” If aid by the cities of Grass Valley and Nevada is sufficient to secure the road, I am content. I am no advocate of county subsidy, except upon the broad principle of the right of petition, the right of the people to be heard, and their intelligence to decide for themselves, independent of Legislatures, Governors and political croakers. Does the Judge deny the proposition?. The Judge misstates the issue altogether, when he says the question is whether-s law should be passed aut the voters of the county to né by ballot whether they will give $250,000 towards the construction of a railroad from Colfax to Nevada, He says no, and says that I say yes. I say-no such thing.I believe to do the greatest good to the greatest number, that the road should connect with Marysville. But Iam. no advocate for routes. Second, the #am of $250,000 we have both used, as I supposed, for illustration, and not at all as the amount of aid to be given, and yet, fixing that sum as the maximum that the county might subscribe, rather terests, and to make Grass Valley and Nevada assume their proper standing with other prosperous towns of thia coast, and third, if cap}Marysville to Nevada last year, on condition of stock being taken, T suppose it to: “& standing subscription will still be maintained by our friends of Grass Valley and peers Fh car a may . . re Mal S McCoy and others; mineral_applia affiants, have been exaniined: TE S a os An ape pbakiben.
