The proper significance to be attached to. the wort ‘‘Workingmen,’ when applied to the new political party,-is a matter of much controversy. There is a” certain class who insist that the word -includes only the horny handed and hard-musvled day-luborers who earn P “The Caucasion Saloon, on Broad) street, lias a handsome new sign. Robert B. Patten, of Sweetland, has been appointed Notary Public. The-Germanpie-pic—at_Ismert’s ou Sunday next will be -largely attended, Archie Nivens has gone “up ¢oun~ try” to recuperate his tired frame. He will be absent three or four days. John Murchie bas purchased the house on School street formerly owned by B. J, Watson, and yesterday took possession of the same. The rain poured down in a vigorph _ their bread from dey to day by the sweat of their brow. Not stopping to consider the all-reaching mean-_ ing of the term, they have rallied under the colors of the faction which found birth in the sufferings that had been brought upon a povertystricken mujority through the efforts of a Corrupt aflueit mitority; wity an_idea of mftters in keeping with the limited ¢éxtent of their intelligetice, their time is spent in bringing about a conflict between labor and capital, It is to this strife‘ oreuting, ignorant and selfish ele“wment, who have no sympathies in Common with the government that welcomes. them to its soil, that tae true Workingmen’s — Party will owe its defeat in attaining those principles compatible with the interests of the people at large, if defeated they are. While the movement in general muy not be in sympa. thy with our personal ideas of tuings political, we/all recognize in its platform features the adoption of which oll, In doing this, ali honest men ous Manuer for a few moments on “Tuesday evening. ‘The brief storm was accompanied by several bright flashes of lightning. ‘The annual wrestling match, Cor-: nish style, will take place at Grass Valley on July 4th, Sth and 6th. The “illegantest wrestlers ye iver have seen” will be there, = The witness swore that he ‘was in the habit of associating with every grade of society, from lawyers up, ‘The examining lawyer gasped out; “That’s all,” and sat ‘down. Jerry Dodge, the artist who was employed by Forepaugh to advertise the great show by painting soap signs on mirrors, was run over and killed by @ train of cars at Hamburg, Towa, on Saturday. Charles Hill, and What he is Doing Charlie Hill, son of Mra. Leop. Garthe; who has been at Haydea’s erry, Arizona Territory, for the past two years, and will be rememof the most promising young men atthe same time condemn in the ' bitterest terms aught of a communnistic nature, which so mavy demagogues and rampant political hacks who have been kicked from the Re_ publicanand Democratic ranks for their acts of perfidy, are trying to introduce in’ the “reform” “movement, hoping thus to win their way to the hearts.of those . whose con_ Btituency they are seeking for. ~ Their main stock in trade is to impress upon the physical laborers of the land that they-aloné ate the only _“trne workingmen,"'’ and that the rest of humauity is endeavoring to place upon their necks the iron . heel of oppression. But, thanks to the intelligence of the masses, who for a time it seemed were about to. be misled by this fallacions and dangerous reasoning, the darkness of false argument is being dispelled by the bright san-light of common sense,and every trade and profession trom the doctor, lawyer, and editor, down tothe hod-carrier, is admitted to have itd workingmen,and a condi. tion of wealth or poverty will not henceforth decide that a man has or hus not-a right to recognition in the party, .

Major W. I. Wallace, who has been absent from the city as inspecting officer of the annual target prac. tice the Nevada Light Guard of Nev City, returned home last evening. He reports very favorably concerning the skill shown by this company.—Sacramento Bee, This compliment, coming from one 60 well qualified to judge as Major Wallace, should afford the boys in blue considerable gratification, “Our citizens may well take pride in the fact that we have in ~-our midst @ military organization which is said to compare’ favorably with any in the State; 0yé of the rising young men of Neada City, and if ability, studious habits and a cool, slear head are ~ productive of what is claimed for thei, the day is not far in the fature when he will take his place in jthe fire which destroyed a porwlio. éver left Nevada City, ‘writes a letter to this office, from which we take the liberty of abstracting a few notes that will be of interest to oar readers. He says that A. McNeely (an occasional correspondent of this paper) and Mr. Jones,a millwright, are at Tip Top, some 50 mules distant from the Ferry, and H. Helm is at the Tiger Mine, 80 miles f¢om the same point.. These. represent the Nevadaites in that vicinity, so far as the writer is aware. By the. way, we must. not forget that Charley bas recently been appointed a Notary Public, and is. ready to trangact. all business in his line in a most satisfatory manner. May his seal-stamp never stand idle. > +e __ Some Heavy Shipments. Tbat the mines of this locality are being worked in @ manner to secure large and increasing profits, is proven by the frequent and extensive shipments of treasure made by our bankers. The Citizens’ Bank “has, . for instance, quite recently shipped no less than $41,000 worth of gold, and 2,900 ounces of silver bullion, which, taken in the aggregate, makes a handsome sum to be handled by a single institution in so short a space of time. ‘These are piping times of prosperity, compared to what we have passed through in, the fearful past, and it is the duty of the people to go to work with a will and earn and save mohey while Dame Fortune has a smile on her face, instead of lazing around like the brutes of the field, and kicking up a perpetual row because they weren’t born with gold spoons in their mouths, Arranging for a Rector. It is rumored, etc., that a move is on foot among the Episcopals of this city and Grass Valley to employ a parson who will answer the requirements of both communities, preaching here in the morning, and teaching the Grass Valleyans how to live in theevening. Of course this will apply only to Sunday sermons. In. quiry fails to develop the fact how the two towns will arrange the matter of prayer meetings, ete. We had hoped to-day to be able to give our readers a full account of tion of Omega on Monday morning last, but owing to the fact that, so far us we can learp, there has been no communication between that point and Nevada City since the occurrence of the catastrophe, we find ‘} where an-immense amount of tail bered by many of our people as one} therein: Mr,-Maltman, with-bis-eustomary enterprise, agreed to the tue front sank of the legal taterity. information, : a= « it impossible to obtain the desired a vee ‘NEVADA COUNTY'S SILVER An a¢vortion*that Nevada county's miberal weelth is not represented in ‘the yield of gold alone; but that a sufficient amount of-silver ‘is contained in the quartz to warrant the expense involved in producing it, will doubtless cause-an expression of sur-. prise from nearly all, and a smile of incredolity ‘from many. Neverthements demonstrate beyoud the shadow,of a reasonable doubt that there exists within the immediata locality of Nevada City a source of wealth in the way of silver, which has been . eotirely ignored up to within a few weeks. The tailings from the numonstrated here, will pay handsomely to work over for the silver that. they contain. Heretofore these: tuilings have been dumped into great piles from the works where scientific processes had succeeded in extracting the gold and have as «a rule been regarded as valueless.— This latter fact had never been positively established, however, and the piles had been allowed to accamulate, until, in some instances, thousands of tons of the peculiar-colored . material lay subjected to the rain and wind and sun, waiting for some one to come along who would ascertain whether or no there was ‘‘any-} thing in it.” Such was the case at Oscar Maltman’s Reduction Works, ings had been accumulating for years, when Prof. 8. O. Brown, a man of vast experience in the working of ores, came along, and proposed to the owner certain terms on which he would undertake to get from the same the large quantities of silver which he felt confident was proposition, and at great expense the work was begun. The results have already exceeded theit most sanguine expectations, By the means of Prof Brown's ingenious process, hundreds of dollars’ worth of silver is being extracted each week from the leavings of the sulphuret works, and the certainty of the succdsg Of a new and important source of income has been: demonstrated to make glad the hearts of all mine owners in this section. The fact that Prof. Brown, in the course of his operations, has discoyered the existence of but very little gold in the tailings, isa decided compliment to the thoroughness of Mr. Maltman’s process of reducing sulphurets, which bas long since been admitted to yield as satisfactory results as any method ever yet employed. Board of Equalization, The City Board of Equalization met again on Tuesday evening, and ordered the following named persons to appear before them within ten days, and show cause why their assessments should not be raised to the following named amounts. James Davis from $800 to $1,200. L. W. Dreyfuss from $5,750 to $5,950. Excelsior Water and Mining Company from $1,000 to $1,400, — Estate of M. Enright from $3,300 $3,900.

Our reporter was immeparing to the Justice's office found Fcircumstances of the re-union are briefly as follow: a Marancy was su ed © as a: wit. ness in a civil case which was on trial before Justice Abbot yesterday, and after she left the stand expreas-~ ed to the officer in attendance a wish to see Pollard, who was in Deputy Sheriff Harville’s room in the rear of the Justice's office. She was admitted to the room, when she immediately threw her arms she fondly kissed, and in the wildest excitement begged that she might not be sent back to the house of her relatives, saying that she desired to remain with her husband and never Wanted to leave him any more. Her request was granted, and she remained with Pollard until dinner. time, when they left the office arm in arm tg go toa neighboring restaurantto their meal. A large crowd gathered to witness the triumphal march of the re-united couple, and the most intense excitement prevailed, bat there was no demonsiration of approbation or censure evinceed by the assemblage which appeared to have gathered more from motives of curiosity than any other cause. As they from the Justice's office, the grandmother of Marancy came up and attempted to seize her by the arm, bat was prevented by officer Harville, who accompanied them, and the two proceeded without turther molestation to the restaurant. In the evening the couple was interviewed . by the reporter of the Times-Review in Mr.Harville’s office. In response to the inguiry whetber either of them desired to make any statement in to the new condition of affairs, Pollard said be had none at present; that he would make a — explanation as soon as the exam desire to have the ngs 8 ped: SA paneine Oe tbe bee voabe which the affair had assumed, and pledged himself to make a full statement, substantiated by the most convincing proofs, which would exep poy gl them from eo meen and askea & suspension of public opinion until he was porpared to make such statement.
