rsa The Daily Transcript _ INBVADA CITY, CAL. ' Friday, September 29, 1876. Poa Dr. Shorb. :' ‘On Wednesday evening we listen‘ed to the speech of Dr. Shorb who is one of the Presidential electors on the Democratic ticket of California. Dr. Shorb is a leader of his party. fis ttterances must be taken as an. thoritative. His position and senti“ments must bind his co-workers. He boasts of courage, thit he is no “. . “lick spittle” that he always feels hatred of the Government exists among them to-day that existed from 1860 to 1864. a 2 Why is it that His kind are placed jin the van of the party? Does not lthe presence of Frank Ganahl and Dr. Shorb, on the California Electoral ticket h@ve about the same appearance that seventy-five Confederate Geverals do in the National Democratic Congress? Does it not appear that’ the Rebel element-is thrust to the front of the party, and’ that the Union element is but a catspaw with which they propose te rake the chestnuts out of the fire? And is not that what the Republicans have all along charged, and: what what he speaks, and speaks what . he feels, and judging by what he said “the other night, we-think his feelthey are fighting against? What a . (contrast there was between the speech of_Shorb, the other nigh , ‘and those of Hon. Jo. Hamilton and , Graniteville but thought I had done Moore's Fiat Letter. Moore’s Frat, Sept. 27th, 1876. } Ep. Transcript: ‘Please allow me a small space in your paper to vindicate myself and the Moore’s Flat Amateurs from several statements made by a “Citizen of Graniteville” in your paper: on the 26tb, headed ‘More of the Exhibition.”’ I was very muth surprised, on reading the communication, for I didnot think-there was one in justice in giving the account of the bexhibition, In speaking of it, IL said thatit was the best exhibition ever goiten up on the HKidge,’aud that it was a credit’ to the citizens satisfied that this was the opigion of all who witnessed the _ perfyrmance.

At the hour appointed, the sociéty of Good Templars, of which she was an honored member, formed and marchéd to the Church, followed, by the Daughters of Rebecca and the Lodge of Odd Fellows. The Rev. N. G. Luke .preached: the -faneral sermon, after which the ,procession proceeded to the residence of the deceased, and from thence to the burying ground.

AT BLUME NEVADA CITY,. vy ASSORTED Stock of Ever brought to Nevada City, ‘part us follows: ings mustbe very bitterindeed. We believe Mr. Shorb convinced all who heard him, that the charges which have been made about the bitterness of rebels against the Government, the Administration and the negroes, are true. If the Southertiers are . more bitter, God help the people that have to live with them. — Dr. Shorb says.he is ‘culléd a rebel ali over the State. He says he was a surgeon in the service of the Government from: 1361 ta. 1864. He did not state until afterwards however, that his service took place at the barracksin Benicia, Ii he has only _ that evidence to prove that he is a loyal man, itis very weak. We are willing to concede however, that he is only an ordinary Democrat. Admiiting that to be the case, we ask what kind of a'fire eater a_ rank out and out rebel of the South must be, Take a community where a majority of th: citizens vee such men as Dr. .Shorb, and how safedo you -believe it would be for a negro to vote the Republican ticket? We honesily think his speech was the most abusive, bitter and outrageousone ever heard in Nevada county. We think he proved to every cundid listener that there is cause for fliuging the! bloody -sbirt. The most, blatant Rebel of 1861.could not excel bis speech in vituperation and abuse. And yet he suys he is no Rebel. We repeat, if the genuiae Rebel of the South is any worse than him, it is high time Union men alight anew their old tamp fires and.see that bis kind do not get control of any of the property of the Government. Dr: Shork.says he entreated Marcus D. ' Boruck, Secretary of the Republican State Central Committee, to send out men to canvass the State with him, but that the request was refused, He says “Fitch, Cox, Swift, Estee et.al., are all liars.”"; That “they die by night and they lie by day, and their trade is that of lying.” ‘“Al}amount. ‘Tilden has been rewardedHoo. Wm, Watt. Hamilton cha ms his listeners even when’ he is~denouncing them, and Watt convinces all of bis. sincerity and honesty of . purpose. If men of Bill Watt's kind had control of the Democratic party, ii would not require much eloqpence to prove that reform would ensue. Hamilton and Watt-may make votes . when they talk, but Dr. Shorb will lose them. Such a speech ‘as that he mude on Wednesday night ought to disgust every honest Union man who heurs it. : — + +e Which was Worse? ‘Dr. Shorb created. no little enZ thusiasm the other night, when he pictured Schuyler Colfax a3 a christian, a temperance man, an ice cream whose atitograph all the ladies used to hanker after, but who at last went into oblivion because of his connection with the. Credit Mobilier transaction, The audience were was ahead ©f anything we ever heard. We should like to have -had the Dr, express an opinion acknowledge that whileI was supabout the comparative guilt of Col-. posed to be under the influence of fax, who was only accused of taking . Mesmerism, that I was the purty one thousand dollars, and for which . who fell down the stairs, but I was Republicans made him take a back . aot the party under the influence of seat, with Gov. Tilden, who got up. liquor. In conclusion, I have been the scheme and was its trusted coun. requested by the Amateur Minstrel selor, .ts books show that he reTroupe of Moore s Flat, to say that _Howythey played to an audience of over much more of this. corruption fund . forty people at Graniteville, and ceived $25,000 in one check. passed into his coffers doesn’t appear, but probubly a much greater for his part in the transaction, by a nomination for the highest office in the gift of the people, by the Democratic party. Colfax has been placed cans. Which picture looks the best? ° arn lO ep env ' frout Creek Murder Case. though he is not a lawyer, a statesman ora politician—only a plain -doctor—he says he is smarter than allof them, and they know it, and that is the reason they dare not meet him on the stump.’’ Thatshows the ‘opinion the Doctor .has of himself, and is a fair sample of his whole speech. It seemed to please his audience, however. Dr. Shorb thinks the Southern people have been justified in ‘committing the outrages they have. He thinks the negroes were all to blame in the Hamburg and kindred massacres, He thinks “such things ought to be expevted where a class are allowed to become voters who know as little about. the principles.of Government asa Chinaman does about the grace of God; and his Democratic auditors were in full sympathy with him in this opin, ion, judging by the way they applauded-the sentiment. Democrats have been trying to make people believe that they accept all the issued of the war and the amendments to the constitution, but Dr. Shorb and bis listeners of Wednesday night, it appears, are opposed to negro suffrage, and we doubt not, when they get into power, would not hesitatea moment in repealing all the amendments and placing all the negroes where they think they properly belong, in slavery, We honestly infer that fact from the speech here of Dr, Shorb. We are glad that Dr. Shorb is so bold and fearless in the expression of bis honest opinion, We hope he willcontinue in the same Strain all over theState. His speech had the effect to opex the eyes of the people to tlie real issues before them — Dr. Sborb is like Ben. Hill, of Georgia, Limar, of Tennessee, or General Butler, of Hamburg massaore faine. He speaks and aéts what he thinks, He does not hesitate two expose the animus of theleaders of _ his party. He proves that the same . gave their testimony, which o¢cu4. pied most of the afternoon session The,case of Wm. O'Neil, charged with being connected with the murder of Chinamen at Trout Creek, on the 17th of Jute ast; is still going . on in the District Court. Getchell, also one of the parties in the. murder, gave his testimony yesterday on behalf of the State. Getchell testified that the plot'was gotten up in the Caucassian League, at Truckee, on the night the déed was committed; that he, O’Neil and three otbers. volunteered and made all arrangements in the League room, to goouton Trout Creek that night, set fire to the Ghina cabin, and when the Chinamep came out to extinguish the fire the whole party would shoot them, which prtogramme was fully carried out. Peter McKune and a Chinaman of the Court. The prospect is that it will take several days longer to get through with the case. ‘ ai al Contemplated Railroad. Sonte time ago we spoke of a contemplated project of building a pristhe great timber belt of the eastern Sierras in the counties of . Nevada, ' Sierra and Lassen. We are happy to state that his projectis about to be crystalized into an actual fact. Mr. Seth. Martin; who hasbeen ab-. sent from town forsome time, is now in San Francisco working the matter ‘Up, and we are ciediby infoimed that he is in a fair way to raise money to make a success of the project. And when it is completed, what a field of wealth will itopen to our little mountain town. Therich treasures north of us will flow into: our lap, and from here we will distribute East and West. The compietion -ot such a road wonld make Tracke indeed the ‘‘gem’’ of the Sierras—a favored sput for the concentration of captinl.

I wish to: say thatI acknowledge the merits of Grauiteville correspondent, and the manner in which they were éuacted by the young folks, and I am ouly. sorry that for fear of using too much space jn your paper, that I did not give the names of all who took part éater, a man whose photograph and . io the exhibition, and that I did net} give the Graniteville correspondent special notice for the temperance song he sang, but now I wish to state for his special benefit, that he was the gentleman who saug that rendered it, and that the song was very appropriately ‘assigned. I that they were well treated and heard no complaints, and that ths statement of the Graniteville gentleman’ that they cleared six bits and gave it to Mrs. Logan, is untrue. It took all the proceeds to ~pay-their expenses, but’ had the Graniteville paid bis fifty cents for it, instead of asking for a complimentary ticket— . which was freely givento him—there would have been fifty cents over and ebove expenses, .which, “though ge very small amount, would have been given to the school fund. I coincide with the Graniteville gentleman in saying that the people of that place are moral, and I say more.— There is ‘not a town inthe mountains that boasts of a more liberal and intelligent set of inbubitants than Graniteville. I think many of the sentiments expressed by the Graniteville correspondent are not those of the people, but some that originated in his own fertile brain, ~He should remember that he is a married man, and ought not to feel jealous because young people have better times thai himself.
