A.A; Sargent, House Represen= tatives—Sir:[ have the honor to ac-~ the facts in the case. In vogard to the ~MecCharles road, the facts are about these: A certificate’ of incorporation was filed on the 2ist of June, 1861, organizing corporation to build a toll road from Nevada by way of Grass Val‘ley to Rough and Ready. This Company only completed a road to the Town Walk, and in 1863-4, after the citizens ~ gtibeeribed to. put. the road -in order McCharles was ‘authorized ‘by the Supervisors to collect tolls. Afterwards the road, it is. claimed, was transferred “by McCharles to the Nevada and Grass Valley toll road company, though no record of the transfer éan be found.— “The corporation was organized for twenty years. pear _ The Nevada and Grasse Valley toll road: company was incorporated in . , and “at that time a county road was in existence. The county road was also. open in 1864, a8 may be seen by a petition ef the Nevada and Grass Valley toll road company, signed by Dr. Cleveland and now on file in the County Clerk’s office. This petition seta forth that the county road was unnecessary for the public use, an annoy-~ ance to the toll road company, and aske that it be declared closed by the Board of Supervisors. Tae toll road company promised, in. case the road __.__egg closed to submit tothe Board sworn statements of the annual receipts and expenditures of the road, to keep it sprinkled and maintain it in good order. The petition was rejected by the Board, which was a virtual declaration that the road should not be closed“ Tf the coutty bad a road in February 1864, between Nevada and-Grass Valley, and the Board of Supervisors then refused to"¢lose the road on the favorable condition offered by the toll company,why _é¥ould it beshutup now? 1t was tien and ia now sa much the property of . for which they filed. the county’ as any road within the county lines. Livety Times.—It appears . from “Squires,” of the Times, that Pixley, Cole and Sargent had a lively fight over . he Pixley appointment. On the 17th Pixley appeared before the Senate Ju-— ‘diciary Committee and demanded why his confirmation was delayed,producing his recommendation by numbers of Californians. Sargent said “He was informed that Pixley had been guilty . Of professional . malfeasance.” Pixley denied the assertion, and challenged in. vestigation. Sargent replied that he would furnish it, though he knew noth~ ing of his own personal knowledge Pixley demanded a statement of a case and Sargent replied ho would farnish it. Cole here stopped the conversation by starting a speech in which he spoke highly of Pixley, and said he believed the charge grow out of @ quarrel. between himself and Sargent, ‘and attempted to vindicate his own vourse,and refiested on,Sargent,” ‘Sargent. arose oot nyrriedly, his face as red as blodd, and : ~said; ina very éxcited manner: “I came here prepared to substantiate my manheod if nesessary. The remarks made by Mr. Cole are false—falss, sir, and he knew they were falso when he made them,’” -The Committge and others wwe Called “Order,” and When order wis re— stored the casé was adjourned to Monday, and both parties requested to-appear with witnesses. Senator Stewart: thinks that Sargent had the best ofthe: fight. Sargent was very severe on Cole for the removal of Coey and Johnson. “Wert, Jim, how did you make it down South?” “First-rate; made-pten. ty of money.’—“What did you do with it?’ Laid it out in houses and lots,”— “Where ?”. “Every place Ihave been. vmware there are any.”—What kind of. uwuses and lots!” “Coffee Aowsee and Knowledge the receipt from you, this day, of a letter addressed to you by L.

Also that Joshua Malloy, John Cashin and Daniel A. Rich filed for portions of said Town Site ; but the testimony shows that they have all abandoned their preemption clainis to the respective tracts From ani exaniination of the evidence in this case, it appears that the land above described was selected in the year 1849 fora ‘Town Site, and from that time to the present has been occupied for purposes of trade. At the date of the hearing held in December last, the population of the city was 3,000, and the value of the improvements placed upon said land was $700,000, consisting of churches, banks, hotels, flouring mill, a court house which cost $40,000, a school house which cost $14,000,and numerous private dwellings: © erected gas and water works, and th evidence shows that said City ot Nevada ig the business centre of a populous locality. The evidence also shows tliat valuable mines of gold existed at one time upon said tracts, but that these mines are now completely exhausted and worked out, and the lands embraced in the Town Site are now more valuable for purposes of trade and as agricaltural land. ae These tracts at@ within the limits and wete withdrawn for the use of the Cenc tral Pacific and California and Oregon Railroads, but having been occupied for fourteen years as a Town-Site before such withdrawal, said Railroads or the State of California have no claim thereto The corporate authorities, having complied with all the requirements of the ‘own Site Act of March 2, 1867, and the amendatory Act of June 8, 1868, the entry, cash No. 144, made at your office February 5, 1869, by the Trustees of the City of Nevada, and covering the tracts herein described, bas this day heen approved, and filed for patenting Very respectfully, Jos. 8.

Step into the nearest toy shop and buy another,’ and we dropped a dime into his hand. “That will buy another, will it not?’ ‘Oh, yes,’ replied he, bursting. into a paroxyism of grief, ‘but that was little brother Tommy’s and he is dead.’ The wealth of the world could not haye supplied the vacancy that the breaking of that toy-had left in his heart.
