October 10th, 1879. sommes saimeneishiiemndammmmeaiaa’ The Rights of Miners, “Never since the debris discussion began has the Record-Union ‘extended a word of favor or of practical advice tothe minera. It has upon every available occasion sought to prej* udice the people at large against them by utterances claiming to be written in « spirit of -lisinterestedness, but really teeming with bitter prejudices and sophistry. It has covertly urged the farmers of the valley to seek redress in the Courts. It has argued thata way to divert the tailings might be easily dévised so as to permit the, continuance of hydraulic mining, thus meaning to keep in the good graces of the miners also, if possible, and yet with al its pretended knowledge of the subject has failed to suggest any particular system of canals, flumes, or anything else calculated to solve the problem. Stripped of all veribage, the RecordUnion says the hydraulic miners must go. . [t misrepresents their spirit and distorts their arguments. A notable instance of this latter fact can be found in its a.leged reply to a communication on the subject that recently appeared in the columns of the Transcrier. Should the corres~ pondent deem it worth while to answer the misrepresentations of his attitude, as well as the attitude of the classhe fairly represents, he . will be affordecd-an opportunity todo so through these columns. hs, RATER The First of the Beginning. A. C. Bingham, City Treasurer of ‘Marysville, has caused the following to be published over his signature: Received, Maryaville, October Ist 1879, from the ‘*AntiDebris Associa‘tion of Sacramento Valley,”. three thousand ($3,060 -) dollars, for the payment of the costs of Court, and of charges and expenses, Other than * counsel fees, which shall be incurred in the action now pending in the name of the City of Marysville, against hydraulic miners on the Yuba and its tributaries, said amount to be expended at such times and in such amounts as the Common Coun. cil of the city shall direct, and only for the purposes above named, © And upon a AetHiaite judgment being ren_ dered in said action or upon the final determination of saidaction in any manner, such portionof the above sum, at that time not expended shall be returned to said ‘‘Anti-Debris Association of the Sacramento Valley.” Should the “tinal determination” of the Association be an emphatic refusal to listen to the voice of reason that is and has been from the very first addressing them from the miues, they will tind this appropriation of $3,000 to be but a drop in the bucket. —— a? a Threatening the Farmers. Serious troubles between the city of Stockton and thg farmers located above that place threaten to také formi sogn. The latter have of late years been trying t&increase the carrying capacity of Mormon slough by plowing up the bottom of it at bends and narrow places. This loosened earth is carried down by the current, and thousands of tons of it is deposited along the water front of Stockton, At the rate these deposits are filling up the channel (ten to tavelve feet in two years) the water communication of that town will be ' ruined in the nextten years, it is averred. In commenting upon the danger the Stockton Herald says: ‘There must be some recourse for the city. An injunction restraining further operations by the farmers would be in order if such action is possible.” More @ficial Bonds. ‘The following officers elect filed their official bonds yesterday : ~ Constable--James Reed ; sureties, W.H. Hurd, J. F.’ Moody, Paul Menk, P. Shorilan, J. Stoll, J. L. Lewison, H. Davis, J. Adolph, 8, mf McKay, James Sherritt, Justice of the Peace—J. Stotlar ; sureties, O. P. Stidger, Louis Buhring. A Parson's Luck: The Carson Appeal says that Rev. Geo, R. Davis, formerly of this city, expects to be recognized as a shareholder im a big unsettled English estate worth several millions of do!lars, The parson was born under’a lucky star, if tuis report be well a { Irish, Chas. E. Taber, E, C. HutchArrested for Bcfrauding. Wednesday a stranger giving his name as Alexander Greig went into Judge Garthe’s office to have a deed acknowledged. He was told it would be necessary for some one to identify him, He said the only person Who could do 80 Was Mrs. Victoria McLain of Willow Valley to whom he wanted to transfer the land (situated in Yuba county) for $409. She was brought to town, said he was the party he represented to be, and the deed was duly ‘acknowledged by the Judge, asa Notary Public. Greig took the four hundred dollars and left on the afternoon train for Colfax. Two or three Hours later C. T. Laney, whose father formerly resided on Selby Flat near town, arrived herein pursuit of him. He said that his father loaned Greig . money with which to pay for the land, taking a note therefor that was due in ninety days; It Was to have been paid yesterday, and Greig went over to Marysville, apparently to sell the land to a man there who had offered $450 for it. With the proceedg.of the sale the note was to have been taken up. . Laney said that after Greig left the ranch he suspected some trick was to be played, ard followed him. At Marysville it was learned he (Greig) had come in’ this direction, and Laney continued the chase to learn of the above transaction on his arrival here. He at once had a warrant sworn out before Judge Garthe, charging Greig with the crime of selling property to defraud his creditors. Telegrams were sent to Colfax and along the line of the Central Pacifié railroad. Yesterday morning at 9:30 a dispatch was received thatthe fugitive had been arrested on the train at Truckee, and would be brought back here to-day. When arrested Greig had $400 in coin on his person. -It is thought he was making for his former home in Canada. His little game may prove a serious thing in the end for Kim. ee Why ‘Not? Speaking of macadamized streets, they are-a good thing for any placo ithe size of Nevada City to have in abundance. They are ¢asy to construct, and kept in repair at a slight expense of money and labor. How much more satisfactory it would. be to all concerned if all the principal roads that lead out into the country were of thatjkind as fa? as tie city limits. We can just as well afford them: as not, If the city cannot stand the cost of hiring men to build them, let our municipal authorities try to get the use of the prisoners confined in the County Jail. In addition to them the Marshal ani po: licemen could pick up enough hearty and otherwise useless fellows under) the vag. law to make a big gang of workmen» It would be an infinitely better state of affairs than to have these individuals idling away Jtheir time on the streets and in jail, as they now do. Why not at least try the plan and-see if it won't work? ><-e> District Court. Tuurspay, Oct. 9. Thomas Jenken, nativity. England, was naturalized. The case of Wm. Sowden vs. The Idaho Mining Quartz Mining Company is still on trial, yesterday being cons:med in examination of witnesses forthe defense.

The man arrested at-Petaluma last Sunday for complicity in the Moore’s Fiat stage robbery and murder -of this city on Wednesday evening’s train. He was taken to “Maloney’s restaurant for supper upon arriving, then lodged in-Jail where ‘he now lies. While he was in the restaurant a large crowd gathered around to get a view of him.’ He is a tall, stoopshouldered . and commonly dressed individual, and has the general appearance of being a common laboring ' man. ~~ Thereis no-longer any doubt. asto his being James H.
