Nevada as Seen by a Visitor.
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

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
