SS "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. for a narrow gauge ty wiles lon can ce be built ri class, for lesa than the lowest estimate for an was nextday the sabject of a Coroners jnquest”! Probably this, to the Dem‘Pleasure, and to interfere with them ism,” &c. Is it not time this.nansense ville Banner $f the 20th, that on the 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 Grant._Imperator, ..If.anAmerican abroad were murdered as Mr. Blye has beon —or even “whipped within an inch of his life,’ the national government would be sustained by the whole country, withthe army and navy if necessary, in demanding and exacting justice. Butsgg band ot outlaws” in Tennessee may whip and may morder at subjects Congress and the Executive to the most unmeasured charges of ‘‘cen= tralization,” imperialization,” “despotwas done with ? 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 : We, the undersigned, being interested in the formation of the “Nevada County and Grass Valley Mini ureau and Agency” in this city; for the purpose of establishing a héadquarters for mining men aes ones interested in mioing matters;in Nevada, Grass Valley and contiguous sections—and for the apes purpose of having a convenient depqgitory for all matter pertaining to mifing which may be of interest to its-visitors—do hereby agree subscribe one dolar ($1) per month to make up a fund tor the proper carrying out of this object, in order that the same may be made a permanent institution. vadu, Grass Valey and _ contigdous districts are respecttully invitedAe join in the movement, and will always be welcome to the Bureau, where will be found various newspapers, maps and other matter of inter,st to them. room at present og¢upied by the Bureaa is No. 85, 3d floor, Merckants’ Exchange Building, Wm.

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 Louisville exercise a powerful if. not controlling influence in elections in. that city.

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.
