"THURSDAY,
——
A Flutter.
After making a few general remarks
coumendatory of the recent effusion of
Democratic Congressmen, styled; “An
SPT
the Gazette gives us the following coumplimentary notice: .
Ite manly tone commends it to care~
ful consideration of all men, and it will
easily stand the feeble fluttering of the
Liliputian bob-tail of the radical kite
that attempts to soar from Broad street.
The editorial notice of theIndictment’
in the TRANSCRIPT will only excite cu~
riosity to read the docament, and in
the comparison, the effusion of the Republican Verges will be quite as mirthexciting as the ancient disquisitjons on
the famous Dogberry of Shaksperian
time. Silly generalization and puerile
bluster will make no converts, and will
fail to cover up rotten corruption,
whether it comes frum the cross-eyed
bell-weather in Congress or the feeble
bleating of the little lambs of the fold.
Facts can only be answered by truth
and logic only refuted by logic. For
pity’s sake don’t attempt to roar if you
can only squeak.
Commend us to the above for sound
logic and a specimen of dignified jour.
paliam, A thorough-bred web-foot, or
an Arkansas-lamb-could-not hold. candle to this. “Liliputian bob-tail of the
radical kite that attempts to soar from
Broad street” is decidedly good. We
admire courtesy in journalism,and if we
should take the example of the Gazette
as our model, we might say, ‘“‘The long
eared quadruped on Main street, who
bat who betrays the length of his ears
by the bray,” etc; but we will not do
it. We much preter observing. the
amenities of journalism and treating
tesy. We shall therefore only say, if
our neighbor of the Gazetie can’t roar
any better than he has in the above
extract, he had better continue to
squeak, it would sound better.
We believe in impersonality in jours
nalism, and we defy our neighbor to
find in the TRANSCRIPT a liae or syllable which could be. construed or distorted into personality. But if our
neighbor pretera the style of argument
which he uses in the article from which
we quote, we give timely warning that
We
will not evade the responsibility. We
prefer by all means, fair and courteous
discussion of all questions. Fish market slang is not our style, but if that is
part of the tactics, well and good.
Fortified. :
‘The extraordinary figures of Engineer Harris for the Nevada and Marysville railroad, are attracting attention
below, An engineer who has given
much attention and study to. narro
gauge roads, coincides entirely th
the views we have expressed in“ regurd
to the abortion of Harris, “The writer
addressing a member ‘the Executive
Committee, says ; “1 do not see how an
engineer in a broken country can make
® proper vstimate fora narrow gauge
upon survey for a wide gauge. As
country is bruken and grades
heavy, the lines will not occupy the
same ground at all, In a flat country
an estimate can: doubtless be made, but
not ia a broken or crooked country.”—
These are substantially the grounds
taken by us asa basis cf the opinion
that the people have been deceived A
Mr. Harris, and that he has not <om~
plied with an express undepstunding
had as to how the survey’ should be
made. So far aa the purpéses for which
the survey was inyénded, namely a
narrow gauge road, the report ae it
-ow stands isentirely worthless, and
aas enly bad the effect of discouraging
many who éarnestly hoped that a road
might be built. The same writer from
~ given will.show “that in track and
outfit alone there is fully the differenco
made by Harris in his estimates. He
cannot therefore have made any difference in cost of grade line and distance.” Ip conclusion the writer says ;
“1 teel confident fe report 4. wrong.

county, and taking thence a visitor
from Smith county, named Sampson
Trammell, tied him to an apple tree
of the old adage by whipping’ him
“within an inch of his life.” What
Trammell’s offense was is not stated.
As there is overwhelming evidence
that numberless outrages of this kind
are habitually perpetrated by “bands of
outlaws” in the’ South, from political
antipathies purely, if the offence in this
case were non-political it would no
doubt have been so stated. The Appeal
continues: “Mr. Blye being present
and recognizing some ofthe gang; he
was disposed of summarily, and was
next day the subject of a Coroner’s ins
quest.”
Is not this cool? And is not it coolly
stated? For the crime of being. present
and the additienal crime of recognizing
“some of the gang” Mr. Blye was murdered—“disposed of summarily and
ocratic mind, is but another illustration of the machinations of , “Radical
partisans” to retain power.and to make

MINING BuREAU.—We observe, says
the Grass Valley Union, that a “Nevada County and Grass Valley Mining
Bureau and Agency” is about being established in San Francisco. The objects of the Agency can be gathered
from the heading of the subscription
paper which we print below. The
agent for the present is Mr. W. A.
Bateman, a gentleman who has taken
great interest in the mines of this district. Following is the head of the
‘subscription paper :

County and Grass Valley Mini ureau and Agency” in this city; for the

AN Empuatic Victory.—The Stock:
ton Independent says: The Republicans of Stockton may wellfeel proud
of the overwhelming Victory which
they achieved at the’ polls yesterday,
The legitimate Répulican majority of
the city has Awen regarded as about
200, under the most favorable conditions gd circumstances. Preceding
. the present contest, the Republicans
hed not held a single meeting, except
‘) the one at which the nominations were
made. The Democrats, on the other
hand, had worked with considerable
energy publicly and privately, and it
was feared by some that they might
steal a march on their less active ans
tagonists. The result proved this fear
to be unfounded. The rank and file
of the Republicans worked during the
day with industry and energy, and the
entire ticket’ was elected by an unexpected and unprecedented majority.
The majorities are Holden, for Mayor,
805; Wilkins, for Collector, 240;
Fletcher, for Chief of Police, 387 ; and
Steiney, for Assessor, 384. All the
Republican candidates for Aldermen
and School Trustees, were elected in
the several wards by proportionately
large majorities, :
‘THe Ledger says the Gamblers of

A HIGHLY dramatic episode in the
prefent sige ‘Of Paris, says'the Alfa, .
was the provession of the Masonic
Lodges to plant the banners of their
Order on the ramparts—a dramatic ep~
isede which came very near being converted into an awful tragedy, for the
missles of the besiegers were not only
rained upon the Masons while they
were forming in the Chrmps Elysees, .
but when they made their appearance
on the walls. Something truly very
touching in all this, an appeal some-.
what theatrical it may be ; nevertheless the kind best calculated to have an
effect with a people given so mach to
spectacles of all kinds, but no results
followed. The action was evidently
interpreted into a sign of weakness by
the Versailles Government. No cessation of hostillities can be conceded

but an unconditional surrender. It is
