NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA. . ———— i ——— arc Reform Clubs. ——e [ “The temperance reform club~at ( perous institutions of the kind ever known to have exjgted jn the moun— tains of Californis. It is comparatively young, but its growth has been so very rapid and healthy as to render it a powerful medium of ‘reformation. Financially it is strong; socially it is attractive; morally it}is unexceptionable.__ The members have-a fine hall of their own, fitted —up with a sweet-toned ‘piano that nin they purchased, and adorned with « many tokens of taste and culture. Nevada City also has a reform club, but its career has been marked-from the first with ill success. The public display no interest in it—in fact there are but few people who seem aware of its existence. The weekly meetings that are held, instead of attracting largeaudiences of all-classés of people, are.attended by a mere handful of sober men and women who do not need reforming, and go there not for the pleasure the occasjon may have in store for them, but from worthy sense of duty. Like the coffee-house project that was agitated here some months since, the veform club does not give much promise for the future. Unassessable Mining Steck.;; The practice of issuing uwnassessable stock that is in vogue with eastern mining companies ‘is by ne means calculated to advance the in~ terests of honest-enterprises. Often thé best of new prospects are compelled to be shut down at the very time that they give promise of developing into self-sustaining mines, for the simple reason that the original working fund isexhausted anda small minority of the parties, interested, who know nothing about mining, cannot be made to see*why their claim has not made from the grassroots. There have been three notable illustrations of this state of affairs in Nevadacounty withiua few months past. Eastern capital is a good enough thing to have come in here, but when itis hemmed about by ’ the narrow-minded laws that govern Eastern incorporations it ‘frequent. ly proves a detriment to the district by being lost to the investors, who draw out of the fight before t bey ane fairly, in it. Wry should there not be a Solid North? Wade Hampton, English, Toombe, August Belmont, Bayard, Jetf Davis and the other Seceshers keep flaunting the Solid South in our faces, and the manhood ef the North has a right to resent it. Becauee we do resent it, they at once accuse us of sectionalism. ¢ The North accepts the charge, and will continue to be saptional so long as the secession and copperhead crowd force that issue.

Wallace, Democratic Presidential elector, as the man who got the best of Gao.,C. Gorham during a series of joint political discussions that they held in this county several years ago.

His answer was given as follows during the course of a speech: Iam opposed to the Democratic party, and want to tell why: Every ordinaiice of secession ‘ever. drawn was drawn by a Democrat. Every man that tried to tear the old. flag from the heavens that it. enriched was.a Democrat. Every man ‘that . shot Union soldiers was a Democrat. Every man that starved Union soldiers, refusing them acrust in the extremity of death, was a Democrat. The man that assassinated Abraham Lincola was a Democrat. Every man that sympathized with theassassin—every man that was glad that was assassinated—was a Democrat. Every mah'that, wanted the privilege of whipping another man to make him work for nothing and pay him . with Jashes on his naked back was a. tempts at youthful graces and. wiu-! : Democrat. . Every man that ‘sold babes from the breasts ef shrieking, shuddering mothers was a-Democrat.Every man that impaired tie credit ef the United States was a Democrat. Every man that swore that he weuld never pay the bonds, every man that swore he would never redeem ‘the greenbacks, every maligner of his country’s credit, ealumniator of his country’s honor, was a Demoerat. Every man that resisted:in the draft, every m&n that hid in the bushes and shotat Union men simply because they. were endeavoring to enforce the laws of their country, was a Democrat. Everyman that cursed Lincoln beeause he issued the emancipation proclamation, was a Democrat. Every man who believed a State could go out of the Union at its pleasure and every man who believed the grand fabric of the American gevernment could be made to crumble instantly into dust at the touch of treason was.a Democrat. Every man that helped to burn orphar asylums in the city of New York was a Democrat. Every man that tried tofire New York—although he knew thousands would perish,and that the great serpents of flaine leaping from. building to building woald clutch children im their arms—every wretch that-did it was a Democrat. Recollect it! Every man that tried to spread the ‘smallpox and yellow fever in the North wasa -Democrat. Soldiers, every scar that you have on your heroic bodies was given to you.by a Democrat. Iam aRepublican. As lt Should Be. The Stock Report, which by. the way is the best authority on general mining ‘matters that is published ‘in he United States, says in its issue of Monday: We see constant notices or at least hints in. the Eastern mining journals of the failure of sharpers to accomplish their expected catch of gudgeons and of the bursting up of mining bubbles. There seems a settled determination in the Eastern nind to take up mining in a thor‘oughly basiness like manner and as a business enterprise. This is as it should be. Let the glib tongue have no more influence in matters of ore than in matters of tea and sugar. The mining journals of New York, Maine, Massachusetts and elsewhere thereabouts are almost all ‘conducted ina dignified and a comservative manner; and, although there are an astonishing number of them they appear to be thriving and to bave a brighv future before them. ‘This is an excellent. siyn, The Pacific Coast is rapidly settling down .0 a basiness basis in mining affairs; The present depression ‘is the reaction from other methods, Yt is hard-to bear perhaps, bu‘, itis a good indication and its future results will be worth all its present inconveniences, Arrested fer Caning.

The Mercury speaks as follows in its issue of the 2lst_ instant concerning the troupe which will appear at the Theatre in*this city next Monday evening, and ‘at Grass Valley the following night: One of the largest and best audiences that ever assefubled in San, Jose was at the California Theatre . last evening to see Mr. Neil Burgess in this great creation, ‘‘Widow Bedott.” The play was well put on, and the setting and properties were perfect. the central figure; and he, well de. serves to be. There sevms to be . something in the queer, sdod-natured ignorant, strong-minded oll widow, that drops into theniches aud corners of Mr. Burgess’ nature, tilling him up, as it were, and running over. The forlorn, creature’s remarkble attempts at elegant language are handled with great nigety by Mr. Burgess, without being paraded; whilé her atning ways are too excrutiatingly . ; funoy for the safety of buttons. As . “Widow Bedott” Mr. Burgess is na, longer Mr. Burgess, but the ridicalous, funny, kind of old]. widow, who wants to marry. Mr. . ! George Stoddart, as ‘Elder Shader-ick Snifles,” was hardly second to Mr. Burgess; and his acting had. the merit, too, of strength and effect without the aid ~ofbuffoonery—and the ordinary comedian could hardly have refrained from being a clown with sueh a part. in . band, Stoddart is a good actor. aud one of . the best comedians on the American was{j i i ing widow's lovely daughter, admirably taken by Mrs. Geo, Stod— dart.

His answer was given as follows during the course of a speech: Iam opposed to the Democratic party, and want to tell why: Every ordinaiice of secession ‘ever. drawn was drawn by a Democrat. Every man that tried to tear the old. flag from the heavens that it. enriched was.a Democrat. Every man ‘that . shot Union soldiers was a Democrat. Every man that starved Union soldiers, refusing them acrust in the extremity of death, was a Democrat. The man that assassinated Abraham Lincola was a Democrat. Every man that sympathized with theassassin—every man that was glad that was assassinated—was a Democrat. Every mah'that, wanted the privilege of whipping another man to make him work for nothing and pay him . with Jashes on his naked back was a. tempts at youthful graces and. wiu-! : Democrat. . Every man that ‘sold babes from the breasts ef shrieking, shuddering mothers was a-Democrat.Every man that impaired tie credit ef the United States was a Democrat. Every man that swore that he weuld never pay the bonds, every man that swore he would never redeem ‘the greenbacks, every maligner of his country’s credit, ealumniator of his country’s honor, was a Demoerat. Every man that resisted:in the draft, every m&n that hid in the bushes and shotat Union men simply because they. were endeavoring to enforce the laws of their country, was a Democrat. Everyman that cursed Lincoln beeause he issued the emancipation proclamation, was a Democrat. Every man who believed a State could go out of the Union at its pleasure and every man who believed the grand fabric of the American gevernment could be made to crumble instantly into dust at the touch of treason was.a Democrat. Every man that helped to burn orphar asylums in the city of New York was a Democrat. Every man that tried tofire New York—although he knew thousands would perish,and that the great serpents of flaine leaping from. building to building woald clutch children im their arms—every wretch that-did it was a Democrat.

The Stock Report, which by. the way is the best authority on general mining ‘matters that is published ‘in he United States, says in its issue of Monday: We see constant notices or at least

hints in. the Eastern mining journals of the failure of sharpers to accomplish their expected catch of gudgeons and of the bursting up of mining bubbles. There seems a settled determination in the Eastern nind to take up mining in a thor‘oughly basiness like manner and as a business enterprise. This is as it should be. Let the glib tongue have no more influence in matters of ore than in matters of tea and sugar. The mining journals of New York, Maine, Massachusetts and elsewhere thereabouts are almost all ‘conducted ina dignified and a comservative manner; and, although there are an astonishing number of them they appear to be thriving and to bave a brighv future before them. ‘This is an excellent. siyn, The Pacific Coast is rapidly settling down .0 a basiness basis in mining affairs; The present depression ‘is the reaction from other methods, Yt is hard-to bear perhaps, bu‘, itis a good indication and its future results will be worth all its present inconveniences, Arrested fer Caning.
