NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28, 1860,
SrarTino ror Wasnor—Tue Hennass Pass.—
Some thirty or forty adventurers started from
this place, for Washoe, last Wednesday, with
Cleveland and Sale’s pack train. They reached Eureka the first day, where they remained
over night. They proceeded on their journey
the next day, aud were overtaken by the violent storm which raged for nearly twelve hours.
‘This was one of the severest storms that bas occurred this season, the snow baving fallen to
@ depth of two or three feet in the mountains.
The party traveled about fourteen miles when
they camped for the night, and some of them
who were unused to such expeditions suffered
considerably from cold and exposure. During
the afternoon, while the storm was at its hight,
about a thousand pounds of barley, which had
been taken along to feed the mules, was unpacked and left with the intention of getting it
the next day, but it was covered up by the
snow that fell during the night and they were
not able to find it when the storm had abated.
In consequence of thia accident, Cleveland,
with three or four of the party, returned to Nevada for more graiv, while the others proceeded on their journey, The last we heard from
them they were near the summit, and another
day’s travel would take them to the settlements
on the other side. Quite a number of others
have since left Nevada and other parts of the
connty by the same route, and the trail is now
open so that no trouble is anticipated in making the trip. The reason this route was not
kept open during the past winter was in consequence of the great distances between some of
the stations. But public houses will bo established at convenient distances on the road during the coming season, and the route will hereafter be kept open if the travel to and from
Washoo is of sufficient importance to make it
an object.
Tux Pony Expness.—The Pony Express, by
the central overland route, will commence its
regular trips on the 4th of April next, They
propose to carry letters through from San
Francisco to St. Joseph, Mo., in thirteen days,
and telegraphic dispatches from Genoa in nine
days. The charge for conveying letters through
will be five dollars per half ounce and under,
and at that rato for all weight over. Tho
route has already been stocked between St, Joseph and Salt Lake, and Mr. Finney, tho agent
on this side, left Placerville last Friday, with
messengers and horses, for the purpose of establishing stations and stooking the route between Placerville aud Salt Lake, This is a private enterprise, involving a heavy outlay, and
there is good reason to believe that it will bo
successful, The principal owners are Messrs,
Russell, Majors and Waddell, carriers of tho
8&t. Joseph and Salt Lako mail, and proprietors
of the Leavenworth aud Pike’s Peak Express,
Restonation—Arrowtmunt.— Justice Denison, of Bloomfield township, resigned his office
on the 17th inst. The proper notice having
been given, a special 'meeting of the Board of
Supervisors was held on Thursday, and James
Marriott was appointed to fill the vacancy until
the next general election. Mr. Marriott’s application was endorsed by some eighty residents of the township; but since the appointment wae mado, we have been informed that
an informal election was held in threo precincts, in which a majority of the votes were
given for Mr. Carter,
TuMaTRICAL,—Mr. and Mra, James Stark, supported by a good stock company, gave entertainments at tho Novada Theater on Friday
and Saturday evenings, The [principal pieces
represented were tho “Lady of Lyons’? and the
“Gamester,’”’ which were exccuted in fing style,
and the company were greeted with a fair audienoe on both evenings. They played at North
San Juan on Sunday evening, aud from thenee
proceeded to Downieville.
Virws or tut Great Kastorn.—Mr. Wm. E.
Bryant has been exhibiting in Nevada for the
past day or two, stereoscopic views of the
steam ship Great Eastern. There are twentynine views taken from different positions on
the veasel, showing the decks, cabins, sides,
engine room, eto., together with portraits of
the officers and crew, and other persons on
board. They show off the mammoth proportions of the vessel to good advantage, and tho
eight ie well worth the two bits charged.
Srzampoart Srninos.—Dr, J, Ellis, formerly
ef this county, has taken up Steamboat Springs,
in Washoe, with the intention of erecting vapor
baths there for the oure of diseases, A fine
hetel has recently been ereeted in Steamboat
valley, and the water of tho springs is believed
to be sufficiently nasty to cure all kinds of diseuses.
Axomuzr Rica Quartz Lepvau.—A quartz
ledge of immense richness has lately been discovered on Clark’s ranch, afew miles below
Grasa Valley. Judging from the specimens
taken out of the ledge, as far asit has been
traced, it bids fair to prove one of the richest
geld-bearing veins ever discovered in the State.
Remoyats.—Tbe clothing store of Sol. Kohlman,has beea removed to the brick building on
Commercial street, formerly occupied by Rice.
On Monday next, Mesara, Joseph Brothers will
remove their immense stock of clothing into the
store recently occupied by Kohlman, corner of
Broad and Pine streets.

to the nomination of Douglas. The Democratie Conventions of the seven Northwestern
States, hav ty-six electoral votes, and
representing over one-third of the Democratic
voters of the Union, have each instructed their
delegates for Donglas, and from all we can
learn of the delegates elected already, enough
are favorable to his nomination, or else have
been instrueted to vote for him, to give him a
majority of the whole vote on the @rst ballot.
There will be 303 votes in the Charleston Convention, and the following States may be set

It is probable that two or three votes from
some of the New England States one from Indiana and two from Maryland may be cast
against Douglas; but where he loses one vote
in the above list he will gain two from other
States that have already elected delegates,
Thus far be lacks but two votes of baving a
majority, and there are still about one hundred
delegates to be appointed. Of these latter, the
delegates from New Jersey and Delaware are
certain to swell the Douglas list, which will
give him 160 votes on the first ballot, or eight
more thana majority. With such a vote on
the first ballot not one of his friends will think
of deserting him, and his nomination by a twothirds majority cannot be prevented, The opposition will be divided between five or six
candidates, and as some of them are withdrawn
many of their friends in the Convention will go
for Douglas as their second eboice.
The few papers now under the control of the
Administration, such asthe Washington Star
and Constitution, still continue their attacks upon Douglas, and their sole object seems to be,
to circulate false reports in regard to the action
of the Democratic Conventions, in order to create the impression that Douglas will have but .
few friends at Charleston, These items are .
eagerly oaught up and copied by the Republi: .
can papers for the purpose of keeping up the
courage of their party for the time being. With
Douglaa as the nominee, the Democracy will
carry every Northwestern State, and elect their
candidate by a larger popular majority than
has evor yet been given to a Democratic nominee for President. Douglas is the only man
whom the Republicans fear as the Democratic
candidate, hence they aro working hand in
glove with the southern ultras to defeat his
nomination,
Banks IN THe Unirep States.—Mr. David M,
Belfour, of Boston, has recently published statietical tables, showing the financial condition
of all the banks in the United States on January lst, 1860, or a period just prior thereto.
Itappeara there are now 1,509 banks and
branches in the country, and @ tabular statemont of the pecuniary position of each of these
institutions presents, in the aggregate, the following figures :

An amendment was added, appointing Professor J. D, Whitney State Geologist, with a salary of $6,000 per annum, and in case of his
death, Professor Agazziz isto earry on the

The minority report of the joint committee
recommends the removal of the State Capital
to San Francisco. This report was signed by
Assemblyman Curtis, of Nevada county, and in
recommending the removal Mr. Curtis misrepresents the almost unanimous wishes of his .
constituents,
A bill to provide for the sale of the sixteenth
and thirty-sixth ecetions,*and consolidate the
money arising therefrom into a general school
fand, for the benefit of all the children in the
State, passed the Assembly on Friday last.
On Friday, separate bills, providing for the
construction of a State Capitol at Sacramento,
were passed in both branches of the Legislature. The only material difference between
tho two bills, is, that the Senate bill provides .
for the removal of the Supreme Court to San
Francisco, while the Assembly rejeeted an
amendment to that effect. If the two bodies
oan agree upon this point, an act will doubtless be adopted providing for the erection of a
Capitol building, and the location of the State
Capital will then be settled forever. But whatever may be the fate of the bills now pending,
the vote ia both branches shows clearly that
the advocates of removal have nothing to expect from the present Legislature,

The Jerritorial Enterprise, of March 17th, in.
speaking of the excitement in regard to the
Washoe mines, and the expected rush to that
section, has the following timely warniug :
We euppose it is useless to attempt to allay
the excitement, We may preach moderation as
mach as we please, and tell the exeited multitude new on the way, er coming, that a large
number of them will be disappointed; but suppose it will be of no use. If they would listen
toreason we might tell them that for two
months yet it will be almost impossible for any
large amount of provisions to come over here,
aud that the supply of food is but limited, as
all that was raised here last year is entirely ex.
hausted. We might further inform the excitable public there, that it is almost impossible to
get even wood for the purpose of cooking, hauled at the present time, as the teams are so poor .
that some of their owners are unable to work
them, and until feed is brought over the mountains or grass grows, it will be difficult to get
even the common necessaries of life conveyed
to different parts; but such argament would
have no effect.
In another article, the same paper says :
We must reiterate what we have so often
said, that more people are coming over here
than either the richness of our mines, or the
demands of any legitimate business will warrant. We desire and hope that all who oan
spare the time and money, will come and see
for themselves, But there is no use for those
who are eomfortably fixed in California, that
On the 29th February, 2 Demoeratic District

was endorsed with nine hearty cheers.
KiL.ine or A Cuina Boy.—A China boy, named Ah Cow, about fourteen years of age, was killed
recently by one Michael Freehill, near Downieville. Freehill resided in a cabin on the South Fork
and in another cabin, four or five rods distant, lived
the deceased and several other Chinamen who Worked in the vicinity. From such evidence as could be
gathered from the Chinamen on the inquest, it appears that Ah Cow went to Freehill’s cabin to borrow some salt. ‘Two or three minutes after, the report of pistol was heard, and upon running to the
cabin, the boy was found by the Chinamen, shot
dead, and the cabin empty. The next morning
. Frechill gave himself up to the authorities. It is
. stated that Frechill had been drinking freely for a
day or two previous to the homicide, and while laboring under the effects of his debauch, imagining
the deceased had gone to his cabin to rob him, fired
his pistol, occasioning the fatal result.

A CARD.
To mx Epitor or tHe Nevapa Democrat :—
Sir :—1 wish to publish a Card certifying the facts
that passed between the two jurymen and myself.
At Nevada, on Wednesday, rch 14th, between six
and seven o’cleck in the evening, while I was taking
my supper, in company with a gentleman from Grass
Valley, sitting with my back to the counter, I heard some
langhing and turned my head to see who it waa. I then
saw two of the jurymen drinking at the bar, They called
me up to the bar to drink. I did so, and then turned
and asked them te drink with me. I then called fora
bottle of wine, and told them I could not call them in to
drink as I had seen Harry Cady do to all the jarymen, at
Blaze’s saloon, as it could not be expected of a woman to
doasaman. Mr. Martin said of course not. He said
he had been a looking for me for two days ; says I, “what
for.’’ ‘To see you concerning your suit.’”’ I said, ‘‘gentlemen, you have no right to talk to me, nor] to you, while
this suit is pending.’’ Mr. Martin answered back, ‘‘Yes,
we are at liberty to say what we please, as the suit is
ended and in your favor.’ I said I was glad that it was
over as it had been a heap of troublo tome. Mr. Martin
then said, ‘Where is your room—let’s take the wine and
drink it in there.’’ I then walked through the restaurant
and kitchen, through the yard, to my room; Mr. Martin
and Mr. Green went with me. They called Mr. Michel,
the bar keeper of the house, to bring in more wine, agreeing to pay for it, which they did not, and I had to be
responsible for it. Mr. Martin then commenced to say
that he ought to have seen me before. I asked him why.
He said he ought to have some money from me, Says I,
‘“‘What fer?’? He said there were four of the jurymen
against me, and it did not take him long to make them
all right. He asked Mr. Green for some money to give
the four jurymen. Mr. Green said he was bound to do
it if it cost him another hundred dollars, as he had a .
mother and knew how to feel fora woman, He then got .
up and rapt on the partition, and called for a bottle of .
wine. Mr. Martin opened it and passed it to Green. .
Green said, Mrs. Garbart, you must come and seo me.’’
I answered, “I do not know where you live.” They said
they lived eighteen miles from here ; Green said he had a .
beantifui blue cement digging. I told them I would come .
and see them in two weeks time if they would give me
the direction, Mr. Martin wrote on a piece of paper, and .
handed it to his partner; then Green handed it to me and .
1 put it iu my pocket-book ; the next morning I took it to
one of my friends to kave it read, and it read thus: ‘You .
will give me ten minutes and I will do the same by you.’’
After that, Green left the room, leaving Martin alone.
Martin said he had worked very hard for me to-day, and
had to buy a vest to give one of the jurors and make him
drunk, and then took him toa Spanish house and left
him. Says he, “You are ten thousand dollars richer off
than yon was this morning.’? He wanted me to promise .
him a thousand dollars after H. D. Cady paid me my
money. Green came in and Martin then left the room.
I asked him, Green then asked me if . had a pistol,
“What do you want ono for?’’ He said he did not want .
any body to come in that night as he was heavy on the
shoot. Martin then rapt on the door; IT opened the door
and hecamein and took another drink and went out
ates Green said that he was on good terms with some .
of the jurors and bad friends with the balance, and it was .
best for me to give him what [could for the jery fee. 1 .
then gave him torty dollars, and he left. I then’ went to .
bed. On the following morning, Thursday, between seven
and eight o’clock, Martin called on the landlady to know
where l was, She said] wasin my room. He came and
rapped at my door, and I opened it and let him in. He .
said that the jurymen were after for their fee; I told him .
I had given Green $40; he said they wanted $108 in all, .
and for me to give him the balance. I gave him four .
twenties, and for him to give me the balance change. .
Ho also asked me how much money I had left. J told him .
I did net have much. He wanted to knew how much.
