DAU. TRANSCRIPT saesvagh = i “WORKED ITS OWN RUIN. "The Narrow Guage freight depot at this city is to berconsiderably enthat will be reSe sunt of freight -part of this _and_Yuba counties, aid Sierra. The suicidal course Marysville bas seen fit to pursue against. the has caused the withdrawal of nearly. all their from that town. “During the summer months between fifty and sixty teams have been running Marysville. with freight for the mines, but since the leading people of that town have declared ‘‘war to the knife and knife tothe hilt” the miners freely accept the sitaation and intend to give blow for blow in every way, shape and form that is within their reach. Now all the miners’ business will come by way of this city and it is not to be wondered at that the more sensible people of valley fanatics as the death blow ot the town. Last Summer a great deal of the upper country freight . came this way, but the bulk of it ‘was carried by way of Marysville. Many of the large” companies believed that the hostility was only temporary and they would not make any change, but are now convinced they were in error and willin the future give the grangers the cold honlder. It will be of immense benefit to Nevada City in having the fifty or sixty teams withdrawn from Marysvi le and placed on the route between here and the mining towns. The Marysville people, or that is to say the leading fanatics, have been constantly asserting that the great iP depreciation of property in their town, which of oourse made. the taxes: very high, was attributable to slickens. The statement is false and every intelligent or observing man knows it, Property in Marysville was held at good figures and taxes were low upto the time that the great crusade was made against hydreulic miners, avd in order ‘o ‘arouse the people to enist in the fight all sorts of falsehoods were resorted to which caused the people to become. demoralized, and believing the falschoods they commenced. disposing of their property, and so much being thrown upon the market atonetime. resulted in a panic, from the effect of which Maryeville will never get over. The hue and cry against the miners, which was'a sham, had a contrary effect from ; what the fanatical grangers anticipated, Instead of the people putting their hands in their pockets to assist. in fighting the miners they thought if the outlook was as represented they had better pack up their traps, sell out for what they could get and land on more stable ground. Not anticipating any such result an attempt was made to quiet the about the brilliant prospects of the town, and saying there was no danger of the town being inundated. They declared they would soon stop hydraulic “mining and everything would be serene in another year. It wasno go. ‘The people had unexpectedly taken them at their word and ruin was the result. The min_isters of the gospel in preaching sermons on lying should point to the destruction of Marysville.as a sampe. of what it did for that town. The next fatal blow to Marysville was the steady decrease of patronage fromthe miners—until_ itis finally all withdrawn. The heaviest houses of that town were kept up by patronage from the miners and one by one they gave up business, which was the final “straw that broke the camel’s back,” _. HAH eae ce TD Heaman Lixpk, a German elocationist, who was famous twenty years ago, and who could repeat all the works of Shakespeare, Schiller and ? other authors from-memory, is in New York hopelessly ill of softening of the brain.

Phere is, a. general complaint throughout the county because of the scarcity of money. In Nevada City is this especially true. A well-informed citizen in speaking of the fact was at a loss to account for the financial stringency. Mines of all kinds are recovering from the setback that a portion of them received a year or soago when the injunction fever was raging hottest. Here at Nevada City both quartz and gravel properties are doing well, and their owners are disbursing at least a thousand dollars a day to the 350 men (all white) that are employed in the various branches of the gold producing industry. hy upwards of thirty thousand dollars in hard coin put afloat in the community regularly every month from one source alone should not relieve any tightness is a point that at first glance is hard to elucidate ; but when we stop to think that the great mass of these mining men are supporting large families and at the same time making themselves nice and. anent homes here, we see why money is not flowing around like water, It is having a better use found for it viz. the making of taxable property that_cannot be destroyed by putting it into one’s stomach or on one’s back. ~~ a OUR EXCHANGES.

It can’t be done, unless the operator is deaf and dumb. F HOW EAVORS ARE REPAID. (Chicago Republican.) One of the sad results of Guiteau’s great crime is the cloud that it has brought over the once happy family of George Scoville. At great expense of money and labor, Mr. Scoville yielded to the persuasions of his wife, Guiteau’s sister, to under— take his_defense, for which, instead of thanks he has received only curses. A POLITICAL PARADISE. (Stockton Independent.) The Oregonian is grieved that ‘thalf a dozen falsehoods, calculated to injure” a certain candidate, are being circulated by ‘‘Democratic understrappers.” The candidate is fortanate who has only half a dozen lies ouf against him. Oregon must be a sort of political paradise. In California half a dozen of the [meanest “lies that. can be invented are only a mild commencement, and the thing gets worse as the campaign progresses. Short Bits. “London grows 1200 in population every week, : The Methodist Book Concern last year made $94,530. Since 1821, 11,000,000 foreigners have arrived in this country.
