SEOOND DISTRICT. ,...«J._E. HALE THIRD DISTRICT. JESSE 0, GOODWIN POURTH DISTHICT....:. T.-H. ROS: “YOR CONGRESS, _7 gineer of the ‘‘Central Narrow Gauge system,’’ in which the purposes of the. Company were set forth. He -states that an engineering party will be sent in a few days to: rum between Nevada and'Marysvillt. ‘Theftiends of a railroad need have no fears of _ the-success of -this project, nor need they be impatient of delay. We have received a number: of letters from different parts of the county, inquiring if the railroad is given up, and suggesting action: in behalf: of. the project,, Among them-is the following from Grass Valley: Messrs. Brown & Deal: Is tha railpoad sleeping? Nevada has subscribed $5,000 Grass Valley, 8X,000 Marysville will give 30,000 $108,000 Can't we: getSmartaville and vi@ vity to make up the balarice? /) it needs is energy. Our committee ape it only two days. If we take __ Boldin ‘earnest the money ‘can ba vaised, Will some of your people go with a delegation of ours to Smartsville and vicinity, or to the lower towns?” Itis not now necessary to make any, further preliminary canvass. The projectors of the project, Messrs. Poarson & Magary, say they aro satisfied now that the required sum ean be obtained for a railroad, and they propose, as we understand it, to complete the permanent orgabization of the Company, and then call npon the people. to -raise their subscriptions to the required amount. ‘Then we doubt-not # number of subscribers may be obtained along the line of the road, and the amounts in Grass Valley and Nevada may be in.treased, We answer our correspondent and all others, that while railtoatt-matters are quiet in Nevada for the present, the’ project,is not sleeping with the originators of the Cenral Narrow Gauge system. They will be among us soon with~books and payers, and will soon have engineers uponthe route. The people of Nevada county have only to keep up the railroad talk, and take hold of the matter with energy when the ‘time for action comes. We have no doubt when the community sees the immediate prospect of the construction of a road, when the company is fully organized, and the surveys being made, that subscriptions to the required amount can be obtained without the least trouble. Auneapy the anti-railroad feeling has developed itself against the pro_ posed narrow gauge railroad system of which it is proposed to make ef ca the centre. It seems almost incredible that mea should allow their prejudices to carry them thus fur, but the sentiment that has been fostered against railroads and everything that smecks of railroad enterprise, is bearing ita legitimate fruits.--Appeal. _~ Not at all incredible, When men allow themselves to be controlled by the dictum pf the Sacramento Union, ‘® paper whose proprietors never act fromt reason but upon prejudice. People must act wpon the theory that railroads are a good thing, but stand ready to oppose and defeat the unjust demands of railroads and all oth. er monopolies if, they desire the prosperity of the country. The opposition of many persons is as sensejess as the position of a deuer in this locality who would not subscribe because.a railroad wouhd make more stores, and he'd have competition in trade. >. _ Werhave the shocking report from Salt Lake that'a person of the Mormon faith has.a hair rope made of ' the hair of the women lain at the Mountain Meadow Massacre, _. Came and disorder ato on the inl au «. and His subsequent ' The impertinerce of Governor . Browaat the Yale Alumni supper. disgraceful conduct at the New Haven hotel, ac‘throughout the land, have suggested ‘@n inquiry concerning his fitness for the Vice Presidency, which has been very properly extended into a criticism' of: his executive administration in Missouri. Reputable men of all parties: admit that, as a Governor, Brown has proven # lamentable fail. ure, and if his name’ should be pre-: sented for renomination to that office to a Demoerafir,convention to-day, s. . it would be hissed out of. considera: It sounds like a:travesty and misnomer to designate-him as an executive. Hehas shown himselt to be utterly devoid of every characteristic .that goes to make up a: ereditable Governor. He has neither firmness, decision, fairness, non dignity of character; and while he has egotism ‘and vanity enough to-set offa whole covey of peacocks, he is mere--putty in the hands of the corrapt men who use him for the advancement of their ‘selfishvaims. He seems te: make it his special business. to disgriice Missouri, not only by such conduct as signalized his-recent appearance in New Haven;.but by deliberately encouraging and pandering to the mobocratic spirit of gangs of lawlesa murderers who have made life and property insecure in many counties of that State. outrages becoine, says the Missouri Democrat, and so inefficient have been tbe efforts of the State authorities to enforce the laws, that outraged citizens are in the habit of flying hundreds of miles to St. Louis to invoke the protection from federal law which is denied them by the officers of State. With these things known and transpiring’ under his very,eyes, Governor Brown absents-. himself from the State and goes’ about the land lectaring the people on the beau» ties-of local self-government. We have heretofore alluded tothe fact that the state of affairs which is allowed to prevailin some parts of Missouri, through thenonexecution of the laws against criminal violence, had retarded immigration and discouraged investments in lands, manufacturing, mining and commercial ‘enterprises. We now notice that prominent papers in the East are giving publicity to the facts, and it is evident that Missouri will suffer setherefrom. There is no good reason why life and property should not be a3 ceeure in Missouri as they are in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois; and yet hardly a week passes without our being compelled to chronicle some murder or scourging perpetrated in our State, by men who, though well known. to the officers of the law, are allowed to remain unmolested, ‘and defiant, counting as they do upoo the inefficiency of our State Executive. We have repeatedly called the attention of-Goveysnor Brown to this lamentable state of affuirs without effect. When the flagrant—murders in Cass county oceurred the Republican undertook and pyomised for Governor Brown that the most vigorous efforts would be made to bring the we!l known murderers to justice. Nearly six months have elapsed singe these crimes were committed, and not a man has been apprehended or indicted. We have no hope that affairs will be better until Brown's successor assumes the reins in our State /government, and we are glad to be able to say that the worst candidate yet named by either party will be infinitely preferable to the present incumbent.” Tux ordimance passed by the Salt Lake City fathers taxing liquor dealers $3,000 per month for license, has been decided by Judge McKean to be invalid. Tue people of Salinas City will speedily move for the incorporation of their town, by act of the supervisors, under the general law. nee Tux weather has been--unugnelly smoky for several days past about Yreka, the effect of extensive fires raging in the mountain forests. -—/! — A Laror body of good ore has been struck in the old Blasdel works, belonging to the Ward Beecher Consolidated Mining and Milking Company.

When Young America procured a steamer, all the hand engine companies were opposed to her, and every obstacle was thrown in her way in time of fire; but her great utility has overcome their prejudices,and Knickerbocker No. 5 has-ordered a second class Amoskeag engine, and Washoe No. 4, has ordered a third class Jeffrey’s engine. There will be when these arrive three stean» fire engines in town, competent to subdue any fire that may come. The Department, even with the steamers, is to be as now, volunteer, as ® paid. system would not be.suitable for this. latitude. THE WEATHER, Which last week was cold, stormy and disagreeable, has changed to a summer-like pleasantness, though weather sharps predict an early Winter. But L have lost faith im prophecies since Plantmouis’comet did not come as foretold, POLITICAL. The Democrats held their Primaries on Saturday,and elected delegatesto the county and State Conventions. The Primaries were tame affains, and no wonder. The Democrats have a very light crowd, anyway, bat they did the best they coulcunder the discouraging circumstances that surround them. The Republican party om the contrary is all alive. Clubs~are formed in every ward, amd the work. goes bravely on for Grant and Wilson. ~The Repub‘ican Primaries come off on Saturday the 14th, and the only contest at the polls will be om county officers, there being no opposition to Jno. P. Jones, Senstor, sufficiently bold to. make any fight inthe Primuriex Whata commentary this: upon the journals and men who have abused and vili fied Jones, and told with so much unction of his failing popularity. The wish was father to the thought. The Grant Invincibles were formed on Saturday night, and already nwmber up in the hundreds. It is the intention of the Invincibles some . time next month, if it can be arranged, to havé an excursion over the railroad and meet the San Francisco Invincibles at Colfax, and both night’s fun, and they will do it if no obstacles imtervene.

The result was generally anticipated by the Republicans.

Will the Union imforms:its readers whether or not Coggins was not nominated for the Legislature, in Sacramento, and compelled to withdraw because he was not a resident of the county? also how many times in eight years has hegone through bankruptcy, and what hazardous business he was engaged in at the time? Also whether his. family does not interest he has in California, other than any tenth rate Bohemian who ekes out a scanty livelyhood by bushwhacking for loeals? These questions interest the people of this district for
&® man who cannot manage his own business, who has no interest in the State, and whe with ten years chance O® & hewspaper never got higher than a loeal, is not fit to represent . the District in Congress. Will the Wnion satisfy an anxious public by answering these questions? Sickly Opinions. The Sacramento Union has been scouring its exchanges for complimentary notices of Scroggins, its candidate for Congress, It has published a few from the old he rebel organs. of the State. Not a single Republican paper in this district has had one kind word to say for Scroggins, becayse they ean’t do it and tell the truth. Poor Sacramento Union— it has made its bed with the rebels of the country, and we hope it will lie with them for all time to come. Honicrpg at Auta.—John Ballinger, while intoxicated, got into an altication at Alta, on Sunday, with John Wright, a saloon keeper. Ballinger, says the Truckee Republican, left the saloon, threatening to return and kill Wright. He soon after appeared with a gun and pointed it toward Wright in a threatening manner. The latter seized a loaded shotgun and discharged its contents at the former, killing him almost instantly. Wright was arrested, examined and acquitted, on the ground of ‘justifiable homicide.” The Episcopaleans are getting along finely in the erection of their new church, the foundation being about finished and the carpenters are getting ready for the frame work. The wood work was Jet to Rodney Wing, of this city. Some of the mining districtsin the mountains near Salt Lake City have ‘ice half an inch thick at night.
