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. .

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.
