We imagine every . Democratic Congressman is now clothing him‘pelt es ,and ashes, and ‘weeping’ over his shortsightedness ‘fin voting for the resolution author‘izing the President to protect every ‘citizen in his tight to exercise the ‘elective franchise. Had not such a resolution been passed, Grant would Jhave no excuse for attempting to ‘deter those who violate the right of Hloomficld 2nd Washington Road. Ep. Transcript,—In connection with the N. Bloomfield road and while the road question is exciting so mach general interest all over the county, there is an important fact that should not be, overlooked, N. Bloomfield is somewhat higher than Nevada City, but n& enough to make any great difference in the snow in the Winter time. From N. Bloomfield to Relief Hill, a distance of 34 mileg;there is a good road, which can be kept open, all Winter at a very small expense. From iielief Hill to Washington, a road can be built over a very light grade; not to exceed 6 to 8 inches to the rod, distance say four miles that will be, He would not, at least, be carrying ‘out the plan Mapped out by his political opponents, They passed the resolution just for buncombe. ‘They ‘wanted to show that their party was ‘opposed to intimidation of voters in the South, on paper, but they did “not want the principle carried out by the power. of the General Government. Grant, however, seized’ upon the ‘opportunity, and now there is a howl of despair going up allover the edand. The President’s orders will be ‘simply to keep the peace around thé polls. No man's right to vote as he pleases will be interfered with by United States Marshals, and the United States Marshals will see that ‘the right to vote as the. voter pleases will not be interfered with by oth‘ers. That isall there is to it. In short, the United States authorities will see that there is fair play in the South just the same as there will be an the North. No man will be allowed in the North to intimidate ‘another from voting fof whom he ‘ehoses and the same practice will be ‘enforced in the South, « There is no doubt but it has been all arranged ini the South to carry every State for the Democracy. If the arrangements were to be effected peaceably ‘and legally no one vould object. But fortunately the purpose of the leaders has from time to time been let ont by the organs of the patty, who have openly stated that the Colored voters must be kept from the polls, and now the leading wampaign organ at New Orleans advises the people *‘to act with coolmess and discretion, to leavethe poor megroes alone and go for their white deaders,” and the advice has been ‘carried ‘Out in four parishes where leading white officials have been ‘shot ‘since the , campaign opened. ‘Of course the preseiice of United ‘States Marshals at polling places, with power to enforce order and compliance with law, will prevent intimidation of colored voters,. but it will interfere with no one’s legal rights. Every one who wants to vote the Democratic ticket can do , Bo, and fortunately, every one who ‘wants to ‘vote the Republican ticket Will have the same right and without fear of being shot for so doing. If the Democrats did not want to have such a course pursued, they ought not to have passed a resolution authorizing it to be done, It don’t look well for them to find fault now. A War Relic. The Indianapclis ‘Journal’ says it has in its office q little relic of war times, in the shape of a call for a Democratic mass meeting in 1864, in the words and figures fellowing: ‘The Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks ‘will address the people of Jackson and adjoining counties at Seymour, Indianna, Wednesday, September t¢ . 1864, at 10 o’clock. Let all who are fin favor of peace, all who desire to be free from the death-grip of this infamously wicked, imbecile &nd tyrannical Administyation, its arbitrary and illegal arrests, and its drafts peaceable citizens are dragged from their homes-and-—all the ‘endearments of domestic life to butcher and be butchered, come out and hear this . : eloquent advocate of peace and reunion.” Sourn Yupa Oanat Pxropzrry Sonp.—We understand, says the Grass Valley Union, -that all the stock of the South Yuba Canal Company, the property being situated in this county, bas been sold to Alvinza Hayward, of San Francisco, The price per share of stock is stated at $1,700, and we believe there are 300 shares, making the total price paid for the property $510,000. Mr. Hayward has recently purchased large bodies of gold bearing gravel, and will use the water of the 8. Y. Uanal to wash out the gold, Centennial Dancing Club Will have a dance ut ‘Temperance Hall, on Friday evening of each week. Citizens invited to attend. +ntion-of-a-number of companies of one may say, almost free from snowin the Winter. While the expense of making sucha ‘connection with Washington is comparatively small, the-benefitis great, “The mines in the vicinity of Washington promise to be the best in the county. Extensive developments are being made which establish the fact of their richness-andpermanence beyond a peradventure, New mills are being constructed, and in a short time this district promises to become the most prosperous of any mining districtin the county. The isolation of Washington for three or four months in the year, and frequently much longer, is well known. ~ Although at about the same altitude as Nevada City, it is.as difficult of access in the Winter time as Eureka and Sum. niit City, and by this roate only, can a connection with Washington be made that will-be of any utility in the Winter time, This is a matter of vital importance tothis section of the county, and should have considerable influence with the Board of Supervisors in theirdeliberations on the road question, Ss 2 0 Gur Citizens Shall be Protected. A . Tribune Washington special dated Chicago, September 5. says: At the conference here yesterday with Secretary Cameron, it was decided to instruct the General of the Army to so dispose the troops in South Carolina and other Southern States that political meetings may be protected from interruption by armed mobs like Butler’s bandits. Senator Paterson of South Carolina says the only way to get a Union vote is to hold large meetings at the central points, for the Republicans would not dare risk their lives'by attempting to talk on plantations to the negroes, The plan adopted by the armed bands of White Liners, to attendin large numbers all Republican meetings and interrupt them by demanding and enforcing a division of time in speaking, has in many cases so frightened the negroes that they fear to attend other meetings, and may not have confidence enough to go to the polls and vote. Application has been made for the distribUnited States troops at points throughout Florida where a great portion of the population are colored. It is estimated that stationing troops there would protect and give a feeling of security, and would secure radiating points whence troops could concentrate at a moment’s warning. Consistency, * One of the strongest Chinese haters in the United States, who guided the Caucassian Leaguson to g'o-y, and is & prominent leader, and Treasurer of the new Order, was seen to-day meekThey had some difficulty in coming to terms as the Chinamen wanted a dollar a day, and the hirer only wanted to give seven bits. The contract was closed, anda short time afterwards the solitary enemy of four hundred million Chinamen stood on_ top of a wood pile and like Caesar commanding his legions, ordered his soldiers to duty. Try and practice what you preach, ‘tis a motto for every man.’’—Truckee Republican. Tur Boston Post remarks: If the Centennial authorities should see fit to offer a prize for the pigk of politeness it is questionable Whether I American exhibitors at Philadelphia would stand any chance by the side of their foreieign brothers. Take for instance, the manner ‘adopted by the different exhibitors in giving notice that their goods are not to be handled! The blunt Yankee‘‘hands off,” printed in boldletters, and fasteued in balf a dozen places on every case, looks brusque beside tbe courteons *‘please do not handle’’ of the English exhibitors, and the stil] more polite, ‘visitors will coufer a fayor,”’ ete., ete., which isthe way the request is worded by the French, Egyptians and others. ly bargaining—with—twe—eelestials. Our Philadelphia Letter. (Correspondence of the Transcript.) Purtaperrara, Aug, 30, 1876. Ep, Nevapa Datny Trayscripr:— As has been universally predicted, the attendance at the International Exposition_was increased more than oné half, by the reduction: to half fare. A more propitious day could not have been selected, than last Saturday. Thesun shohe brightly, but all the day there were cool delicious breezes which counteracted the otherwise prostrating heat created by the sun. Few who. were accessible to Philadelphia, did not take ‘advantage of the low tates of admission. The roads leading to the grounds presented the appearance of a feast ing, the farmers in the adjacent coun‘try were-on-the way with their famcontented looking, and independent often mét. This day was certainly a grand.suecess. The umber of paid admissions exceeding greatly those of the opening day, and out doing by thousands, any day the record of the Vienna Exposition makes. The-actual figures are as follows: 95,873 persons who paid twenty-five cents each admission, 373 who were admitted on complimentary tickets, and 8,268 who were entitled to pass in as exhibitors. Comprising in—all, 104,514 persons. Although this was principally donetoenable the poor: er classes to attend, the rich and infinential were out by thousands, which was unexpected, and shows, that ‘reduced fees were an inducement to all classes. At the beginning of the Exposition the transfer company bad all the cases and boxes that the goods came in, packed away in sheds, built for the purpose of having them carefully stored, so as te be availableto the owners whea the Exhibition closed. The sheds were erected on alarge lot near the buildings. It is said, that in the great haste made in removing. these boxes, a large package of silk and velvet belonging to the French, was carried out by mistake. Unsugcessfu) searches have been made, and greater care was afterwards observed be‘fore removing the boxes; and it was hoped the goods might eventually be discovered. Last Saturday night some incendiary set fire to the sleds, which are situated directly south of the Atlas Hotel. The ‘Centennial Fire Brigade and several of the City companies responded promptly, and by 40’clock they had succeeded -in extinguishing the flames. The sheds burned, were those containing cases for goods in the main building, the American and French exhibits, the Art Gallery and. Spanish, German, Norweigian aad other boxes, belonging to foreign exhibitors. The English loss is estimated at about $1,500, the American $1000. The entire loss being about $3000, all insured. The only outside attraction on Saturday, was the celebration by the Swiss of the 26th of August. In some of the Cantons of Switzerland, this day is observed as a national holiday, commemorating the battle ef St Jasof in 1444. an important evént in Swiss history, as it was a decisive contest after five centuries struggle, to muintain their independtutions.of the Fatherland. About three thousand assembled on the grounds at noon, and marched to the Judge’s Hall. The. following societies participated. Grutte Verien and Swiss Monarch, or: of Phil. the Grutte Verien from New York, Baltimore, Egg Harbor and’ Scran. ton. Societie Tassemoic Allemannia Schultzer Verien and Helvetia Lodges Nos, 1 and. 2 of New York. The New York visitors were soon joined by the Méennerchor and other singing societies from Washington, Baltomorey Scrantoi. These are the guests of the local Swiss societies. These societies were strong in numbers, and carried most beautiful flags American and Swiss; thoze represent. ing the organizations being handsomely embroidered. In the hall the standard bearers were arranged on either side of the speaker’s stand. This large room was filled with the Swiss, many ladies being present. The President, General John A. Sutter of California, formally opend the meeting, this was followed bya choral rendered by the societies, being accompanied by the orchestra. Capt. John R. Fellmau was the oratorofthe day. He spoke very eloquently, dweiling for some time on the past history of Switzerland, giving a graphie account of its trials since its birth in 1307, and of its terday or holiday; for earlyinthe morailies, to see the big show; and such af feeling class of people, ate not to be . : + act out your true character. ence, and perpetuate thé free inst-) rible wars for five hundred years, offering up thanks to our own Union for the liberality, kindness and toleration she has always shown to his countrymen, and prayers fot the preservation of our Union. ~He concluded by saying: ‘‘May the great Repyblic of the United States of America always be in friendship with her sister, oir beloved mother, and may the Stars and Stripes, and the White Cross in a red field, forever remain the emblems of liberty, peace, progress and national{honor, Amicus.

Women 1x Satoons.—Much has recently been said on this subject brought about by a decision in Ohio+ asserting woman’s.rights to engage in any lawfal occupation. The great objections raised have sprang from the fact that places of bad character have engaged women of=bad character ascards for their hells,-and old loafers from the country and young loafers ia cities have swarmed into ‘such places until they have become pests in the community, and all taunicipalities .have issued. edicts against the employment of saloon waiter girls, and they are right, but there is a discrimination that should be observed. ‘There is no reason why women should not be emplayed at bars more thanmen. In England bar-maids are almost universal, and the effect isgood. ‘The respect for women secares order, and the absence of vulgar language, and habitual loafing, would _ probaly produce the same result . here, he fact is, instead of suppressing the women, the places which employ
them should be suppressed.-—Marys‘ville Appeal. initia Respect DvE To Wives.—Do not jest with your wife upon a subject which there is danger of hurting her feelings. Remember that she treasures every word you utter. Do not speak of great virtues in another man’s wife to remind your own of a fault. Do not reproach your wife with personal defects, for if she has sensibility you inflict-a wound difficult to heal. Do not treat your wife with inattention in company, it touches her pride and she -will not respect you more or love you better for it. the presence of a third party, the sense of your distegard for her feelings will prevent her from acknowledging her fault. Do not entertain your wife by praising the beauty and accomplishment of other women. If you would have a pleasant home and cheerful wife, pass your evenings under your own roof. Do not be stern—and-silent—under your own . ‘house, and remarkable for sociability elsewhere: Tr anybody wants to adopt a promising child application can be made to Leinteant Hey! of the Twenty-third Infantry. He has with him a young Apache Indian six years old who has an interesting history. He was captured in Arizona about two years ago. All his family were killed, and the soldiers picked him up naked and carried him along with them. Lieutenant Heyl, who was in command, prevented his being killed by the scouts, and has ever since takem a fatherly interest in him. Sergeant Dougherty of Company A of the same regiment was the orignal captor of the child, and took care of him until his own death last Spring in a skirmish with some Indians. Since that time Lieutenant Heyl has had the-youth in his charge, and is now taking him East to have him educated at his own expense, He is bright, dressed in army blue, sailor style.

It happened at Athens, during a public representation of a play in honor of the commonwealth, that-an old man came too late for a ‘place suitable to his age and quality. Some of the young men, whoobserved thé difficulty and confusion he was in, made signs to him that he would accommodate him, if hecame where they sat. ‘he old man bustled through the crowd accordingly, for the seat proffered him. But when he came to the seats to which he was invited, the jest waS‘to close and expose him as he stood out of countenance before the whole audience, The frolic went round all. the Athenian benches. But on these occasions there were also particular places assigned to foreigners, So when the old man skulked “toward the boxes appointed for the Lacede-Macniahs, that honest” people, more . virtuous tLan polite, rose toa man, and with the greatest respect received him amongst them, —The4 Athenians, being suddenly touched with a sense of Spartan virtue and their own degeneracy, gave a‘ loud applanse of admiration, And the Man, as soon as the noise subsided, cried out: ‘The Athenians undersS and what is good, but the Lacedemonians practice it.”’ _ NEEDLES.—-Needles are more easily made than pins, or rather there is less machine.
