SSS ks See In =n 2 -~+r~the Empire’ mine to prevent men from ., ~ypowder and to persuade all they can cs ? __adopted the Crawford County plan. of the selection of every candidate of his ~—ventions—will be eradicated,and— each: man must submit his claims to the peo. Miners’ Union, and they also aflirm'. . , One can interfere. nn we-_this right. The mutual aid feature of “original “platform, ~~“ Discounténancing ity, Santa-Cruz and Sierra counties haveNorthup and John Barker, besides From THE RipGE.—A correspondent from North San Juan sends us the following items; — 4 THE TuRF.—The first race of the season took place on the 24th inst., at the San Juan race course, distant about, one mile from this place. .A purse of dry smail-bets on the outside. Nor-. and intolerable in a free country, that will not’ be suffered or endured by the citizens of Nevada county. 8. That all attempts to interfere by foree, violence, or intimidation, with labor in our mines, are not merely unlaw. ful in themselves, but injurious to tlre . interests of our whole community; in=. ting the good order, quietude, and . Fe pe et ee ie De tions in the only source our commuoT “of uction from which making nominations this Suramer, and elections Hiavebeen called in these counties in accordance therewith. No doubt the Union voters in many other localities will follow the example of these edunties, andthe plan will be thoroughly tested before the next State contest, if it requires a test. But the plan has been so successful in other places that it may already, be looked upon as fully tested. . Soe It seems to us that the very fact that each: member of a party has a voice in party is of itself sufficient to commend the new plan as better than the Convention system, and to call out a large vote at the primaries. The plan has been given in these columns sev~ eral times and our readers no doubt understand it. The whole object is to have candidates nominated by an eleetion confined to members of the party, and the details are only intended to insure afair vote. The candidates are as much in honor bound to abide the resultas though nominated by.Convention, and the ticket will be stronger froti the fact that all voters of the party haveva voice in making it. ; There can, under the new system, be no cause of complaint in the fact that nominations are made by a few men, or that candidates are traded out of nomination. The old évilt-of packing Conple of his party, and after’ a fair contest, if he is not nominated, he has ne one to blame for trading him out of it. . i wy THe LEAGUERS.—The Leaguers have Changed front,entirely abandoning their the action of those who went armed to Mr, Taylor, at the citizens’ meeting on Tuesday night, held at Grass Valley, that the object was to establish a mus tual aid society, to be known as the that they are pledged not to use giant nut to use it, but that they neither intend to use force towards miners or mill owners, and that they have no intention of violating the law, Taking this as a true expression of the designs of the Miners’ Union, no objection can be made to it. The miners have the undoubted and undeniable right—te form leagues or societies if they please, and they have just as full a righs to re. fuse to-work with giant powder. These are matters that concern them, and no Bat on the other hand, those who wish to, have the same Tight to use giant powder, and no association er set of men can interfere with the Miners’ Union is a good one. Miners should unite and have a fund that can be applied to the care of their members in case of accident. The best citizens will encourage this feature, aiid in case they want aid to help the unfor-tunate’ the entire county will respond. We are glad that the miners have shown that they are not. disposed to disobey the laws of tlie land, and: we are assured that in a few days a constitution and by-laws will be published, . and the secret meetings be abandoned. The recent course of the League demonstrates that good counsel has. prevailed, and there need be no appréhension ofa violation of law. THE San Jose Mercury learns that much of the wheat growing on the Salinas plains is totally ruined by the rust. Many fields have been abandoned . as not worth harvesting. . ‘New JERUSALEM.—This scriptural name is given to that portion of San Joaquin river aiid between that stream and the westetu boundary lihe of the ~ thup’s horse, Dexter, won the stakes in ® quarter of a mile heat. It is the opinion of many persons that any other day would have answered equally as well, os Tue “Mrxes.—The Euréka Lake Ditch Co, are now engaged in washing their claims on San Juan Hill, The result of said Company’s labor is, as a general thing, kept Closely a secret, but from report, its claiins are said to Be paying well. Most. of our mining claims are lying ide, their owners patiently waiting for reduced rates of water. The North Bloomfield Mining and Ditch Co.\is agitating the question whether or net to extend its ditch to this hill. Should it be done, water can be bought at reasonable rate, and the! whole front of our mining clains will\ again be in full blast. The beneficial results to our town will then be incalculable, THE Roaps.—The road between San Juan and Cherokee, to the credit of Commissioner Gephard be it said, is in excellent order. It is in better condition-at. this time than at agiy: period since it was laid out. From San Juan to French Corral, the road, under the supervision of Mr. Winans, was never known to be in better order. It.is; the general opinion of our people on the ridge, that if Mr. Winans could be elected Road Commissioner of the “county, atthe ensuing election;it would be decidedly beneficial to the tax payers thereof. eee Stack Lines.—There are now three daily and two* tri-weekly stage lines running into San Juan from different places. One from Nevada, one from -Camptonvitie;one—fromNorth Bivom= field, one from Marysville and one from Alleghany. The proprietors of the Marysville line, Messrs. Clarke, Kibbie. & Charles Brainard are running a mage nificent concord coach between San Juan and Smartsville. ‘Tur CrawW¥rorp County PLAN.—As yet burtttte;ifanything is said here relative to the introduction of said plan into our primary elections. The majority of*Union men on the ridge are disposed to regard the subject:favorably, and may accept it for experimental purposes,if for no other reasons. CANDIDATES.—Dr. Stotlar is a candidate for the Assembly. A strong effort is being made here to induce Judge Stidger to allow his name to go before the people as a candidate for Senatorial honors. Whether he will permit it. to be done is quign sabe. MEETING AT Grass VALLEY.—The Citizens’ Meeting at Grass Valley on Tuesday night was ‘largely attended, many members of the League being present. Dr. McCormick was elected President and J. M. Days Secretary.— Speeches were made by Hon. E. W. Roberts, J. C. Deuel, George Taylor of the League andothers. At times there was--eonsiderable.confusion,-and the Leaguers appeared to have the majority. We understand the preamble was voted down. -It Was expected that Mr. Dibble would address the meeting, but he was not present when called for.—. The following resolutions were unanimously adopted save the last, which was passed with seven dissenting voices ; Resolved, That mines and mining rights, being properly in the eye of the law the free right to work, manaye,and control the same, rest in the Mine-own.er alone ; and such rights, being sacred and inviolable, must and shall be pro~ tected to the utmost extent of the ie. regardless of the consequences that may ensye'to those who may unlawful. ly interfere with the property of others. _%. That every man_has the ihaliena+ble right to make such contracts for the disposal of his own labor, and for the employment of the labor of others, ds to the parties themselves inay be mutually satisfactory; and that any forcible ‘interference therewith on the part of others isa gross outrage upon y Pa ‘{ the liberty of a citizen, unwarrantable tic trade and prosperity; tending to a breach of the peace; causing discord and dissension among and between those whose interests are identical; and that, therefore, such attempts should be discountenanced by all good men who hate the welfare of the country at heart. 4. That, we, therefore, pledge ourselves individually, and collectively as a communi'y, to use every effort to protect the owners of all property in. the exércise and enjoyment of their rights; the property itself from violence: -and the meu employed from outside aggrese sion, to the fullest extent of our influence, and if necessary,with all the power of the laws of the land.
