People who own no property, and who have no particular business are expected to see the downfall of a place; as the standard with them is measured by their own situation. “If thatclass are down.on the bedrock they concluile the wtdle community is in the same fix. They are in a measure excusable for that kind of feéling which pervades them; ~ bat there isa class of-croakers—that—we}fail to comprehend, and we. are of the opinion that if they studied themselves thoroughly they would be unuble'to form any idea of the component parts of which they are conbtituted.The latter class that we'refer to are dependent almost . ' ‘wholly upon the prosperity of the towns they livé in, as in many cases their all is invested in real estate or personal property ;and yet they never have a good wordto say for the town or any new enterprise that is undertaken, but on the contrary ‘they utter words of discouragement to the injury of themselves and the parties most deeply interested. .We have in our mind’s eye three important sales that would have been made to capitalists during the past two years, which would have increased the very business that these croakers are engaged in, and would have resulted in ‘giving employment to at least several hundred more men in this community; and business of every kind . would have been improved if the gales had been allowed to go through. But no, they must put their foul mouths to work, and, by their-words, thwart legitimate schemes which might be carried through to a sucvessful termination if a+ favorable word had been said by them. Why is it? What good can come out of such a course? Every new enter-., prise started whether it be mining or anything else, benefits the whole community, and yet this class of it be done in ignorance or pure_cussediness we do notknow. If thepeople desire to. see decay upon every hand let them join the croakers, cast all the odium they can upon our mines; and denounce in unmeasured terms every sale that is projected, ~ and they will surely see it. If they desire to see prosperity on all sides, our mines opened, quartz ledges: in, operation and plenty of business, let them unite in praising up mines of merit, encourage projected sales, and lend their aid in all important enterprises that are proposed. This is the only course to pursue to bring about the change that we all so much desire. In Disgrace. : William I. Kip, .Jr.,: the son of Bishop Kip, has brought disgracé upon himself and an honored name by reckless stock gambling, and by attempts to save his fortune from wreck which savor strongly of fraud. It is known that for some time he has ‘been ‘‘unfortunate” as a specnlator, and had showered upon him _ lous after loss, which his father had to meet: The. disclosure _is now * made, however, that his tiabilities ‘pany. The sympathies of the pub‘ hie are doabtiess with his father, and are beyond redemption, and that the mode:in which some of them were incurred is questionable, On the strength of his father’s name he appears to have been trusted to an astonishing jextent as an honest, cool-headed business man, ‘and amongst those who are heavy losers by his wild plunging are a number of relatives.

William Grant, the sheep herder, who it is supposed: murdered Henry Townsend, near Boca, on Tuesday or Wednesday last, an account of which we published in the Transcript yesterday morning, was captured on Saturday night, and taken to Truckee Sunday morning by his captors. It was thought that Grant would return to the scene of the tragedy; accordingly a crowd ef men armed themselves and went to the cabin which had been occupied by Townsend, and, sure enongh, found the herder in bed.

Postal Telegraph. — The Chicago Tribune, which evidently utters the sentiments of the entire Associated Press, is ‘terribly fearful lest Congress should pass the Postal Telegraph bill at its next session, and proceeds to lay out a sufficient programme of “investigations” to occupy the timeof Congress during the entire session to the exclusion of the Postal Telegraph ques. tion. The Tribune does not however take the ground that these investigations will necessarily prevent all legislation, and its point, that Congress will not have time to devote to the . sabject-of a Government telegraph is not well made. If the next Congress has the time to puss any laws, certainly those laws shonld be directed toward relieving the people from the oppressions of monopolies, and there is no better mark at which the first shot in this direction can be aimed than the Western Union Telegraph Company. Of course the Associated Press papers that are in partnership with this monopoly, and under a written contract to sustain it iy all its oppressions and extortions, do.not like the idea of a Postal Telegraph, for with the facilities “for news thrown open to all papers, they would aot succeed in the competition that would ensue with many other papers that are.conducted with far more honesty and ability, but which only lack news facilities to in. sure their success. “First Methodist Church,” Grass Valley.
