Another Writ Granted in the Sternes Contempt Case. In-the contempt case of Sternes, the State Supreme Court yesterday granted a writ of habeas corpus returnable $1,000 a. Got About Enough Of it. W.HU. Lee, one of the anti-mining spies who has been tolerated in this county for some time past, is said to be one of the most respected and wealthy residents of Sutter county. Heis a civil and intelligent man, and people here who have become acquainted with him invariably express surprise that he should be in such a despicable business all for the sake of a petty three dollars a day and expenses. It is stated that during the present week he got in a confidential mood while talking with an acquaintance here and said he had about concluded “oy don’t blame the people here for despising spies,’’ said he. ‘It makes me despise myself to be one.’’ Got Ashamed of Himself. Baker, the one-eyed spy who helped to capture the Chinamen at Omega last Monday night, and let one of them—an old cripple—get away from him, left here yesterday for Marysville, saying that he had become disgusted with the contemptible business of. spying and did not propose to demean himself by following it any longer. During the Omega raid his horse fell down on him and hurt him and he had a rough time generally. Baker used to be a school-teacher, and knows more than one would judge from his quaint appearance that he does. A Threat to “Get Even.” It is said on good authority that when Judge Myres on Thursday last gave his decision remanding Sternes to Sheriff's Lord’s custody, District Attorney Forbes was ‘‘knocked silly.” As soon as he recovered his speech he exclaimed, ‘‘We’ll get even, and don’t you forget it. We've got $8,000 worth of Chinamen in the Marysville jail.” He figures that the eight Mongolians will pay a fine of $500 apiece, innocent or guilty. They'll never pay a cent. Yuba county might as well enlarge her jail if sheis going to continue in this line of business. Shows Signs of Weakening. “This is a mighty dear’ experience for me, and you-can bet I’ll never get into such a scrape again,” said spy Sternes when Judge Myers ordered him back to jail day before yesterday. Sternes did not explain what he meant by the remark, but the natural supposition is that he proposes to quit spying and return to a manly way of earning & livelihood. He has the stuff in him to make a good citizen if he would only exetr his talents in the proper direction. Hunting For the Original Channel. At Boston Bar, onthe Yuba river, where in early days many Nevada nel is being driven by a local company in search ofthe original bed of the river whichis supposed to have been covered up ages ago by land slides. The tunnel has reached a depth of 160 teet, but without striking the hoped for channel. How They Sneaked Out. The spies who captured the four Omega Chinamen at Omega last Monday night say they got them out of the county by the way of San J uan,Bridgeport and Penn Valley. It was a roundabout way, giving them abeut forty miles extra traveling, but they were afraid they would run up against more law if they came by the county seat. —————————— SLEEPLESS nights, made miserable by that terrible cough.

L. ROBINSON. Interesting Incidents in the Career of a Well-Known Hydraulicker. e —— The Commercial Record of San Francisco gives an interesting sketch of the life of Lester Ludyah Robinson, President of the Miners Association and one of the most progressive hydraulic miners ever operating in Nevada county. -Mr. Robinson is of New England ancestry, and possesses to the full all the sterling traits of that ancestry. He was: born at Oxford, Chenango county, New, York, February 4th, 1824. As yet he isa young man, for age goes not by years by any means, but by the manner of life, and his life has been a frugal, careful one. He was early grounded to act from good principles, and this grounding has been his mainstay through life. He received a good common school education and was studious in his desire to advance. His studies were completed at Newburgh Academy, New York. After finishing he accepted a position-with the New York and Erie railroad. With this road was laid the basis of much of his knowledge of surveying and engineering, which he afterward completed by practical and long experience elsewhere. He did considerable surveying on the road and branches and received rapid promotion. From 1842 to ’45 he was in the main connected with the New York office. The latter year he accepted.an offer from the Chief Engineer of the Atlantic and St. Lawrence road and was in consequence engaged on the preliminary surveys from Portland, Maine, to Montreal. : After the completion of the surveys, he accepted a position on the road in Canada, and had charge of the construction department and rolling stock. He superintended the: building of several bridges on the road, notably the large drawbridge over the Richelieu river. During his time in Canada, he also made surveys for other reads, one from Three Rivers into the lumber regions, another from St. Johns to the boundary line, etc. From Canada he went to Kentucky to take charge as Chief Engineer of the Maryland-Lexington Railroad. In the same year, 1850, he was also Chief Engineer of the preliminary surveys of the Louisville and Nashville, as also for the road from Memphis to Bowling Green,Kentucky. In this section of country he continued ‘till 1854. .-That year he accepted overtures form Seymour, Morton & Co. to come to California to make a contract for the Sacramento Valley road. This firm was at that time the most important one in railroad operations in the United States. He had contracts in Maine, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, North Carolina and Tennessee. He left New York on the North Star, crossed,the Isthmus and arrived here in September en the Takes Diade. After his arrival here, he quickly concluded a contract for the road spoken of, from Sacramento to Folsom, 22 miles, and this was the first railroad operated on this coast. After agreeing as to the contract, he gan the shipment of the necessary supplies, railroad iron, engines, cars, etc. March of ’55 he returned here, and at once pushed the work with energy, so much so that on February 22, 1856, the following year, the road was opened for traffic. This did not by any means end his connection, however. The road was in further need of assistance in practical management, and in consequence he sent for his brother, who was an experienced man, and he was made Superintendent. Owing to Mr. Robinson, the wellknown banking firm of the time, Pioche, Bayerque & Co., had advanced some $750,000 on bonds, and this firm by his after energy was fully compensated. Needing a rest after his continued labor, he went to Europe, and spent a couple of years in a very needful recuperation of his energies. When he returned he took a prominent part in the construction of other roads here, notably the Freeport Railroad and the Sacramento, Placer and Nevada road. March of ’64 his father died in Brooklyn, and he went East in consequence to settle up the estate. In February, 1865, he, with H. M. Newhall and Peter Donahoe purchased the Market Street Railroad fron Pioche, Bayerque & Co. ‘The same year he extended the line, changed the motor power from steam horse, and graded Valencia street to Twenty-sixth, the terminus of the line. He also graded many streets in that then outside section. Owing to the death of Mr. Bayerque, which occured that year, the banking firm became embarrassed. The transactions of Mr. Robinson with the house, and the place he held in their esteem, caused him to be called on, and he took the management of their affairs, which he held up to Mr. Pioche’s death in 1872, when he severed his connection. He was first President.of the Giant, Powder Company, and also of the Atlantic Powder Company, operating under the patents of the inventor, Alfred Nobel. He is president of the North Bloomfield Gravel Mining Company} projector and chief promoter of the Meadow Valley Mining Company, and its first president, president of the Alcron Mining Company, of Sinaloa, Mexico, the Union Gravel Mining Company of-California, Leeds Mining Company, Utah, New Coso Mining Company, Albion Mining Company, Nevada, Homiguera Mining Company, of Lower California, and others. Of late years to mining he has dePresident of the Miners’ Association. . President of the San Jacinto Tin Comat once returned to New York and be-, Besides these enterprises he was also one of the chief promoters of the of San Bernardino county. He was{ pany. Many homestead associations owe the fact of their existence, in that he showed the way, and his example, was followed, and many in consequence who now own: homes on the homestead plan can thank him for his broad ideas on this head that made homegteads possible to poor men. He has taken an active part in in. surance matters and has been con, nected with’ San Francisco companies. in fact, on every side have his energies found vent in farming, mining, irrigation, railroad enterprises, oil well enterprises,etc. Politics he has avoided. A consistent Republican, however, he has always been affil'-ted with that party, but position + has always refused, being the more content with the activity of his business life. Mr. Robinson, as would be judged, is very systematic in his’ work, and while strict with subordinates is no measurer of a@ man’s work in petty details if thoroughness be shown. He is a firm man and determined, but an eminently just one. Mr. Robinson has certainly contributed materially to the building up of San Francisco and the State since early days, and among pioneers and people generally therefore the place he holds is one all of honor. The-esteem he is held in is but a just tribute to his worth. _ ANOTHER GRAB. Four More Mongolians Arrested for Hydraulicking. ~_— The Marysville Appéal of Thursday morning says: ‘‘On last Monday afternoon Charles Worthington, W. E. Sammis, Taylor Boyd and M. P. Baker, valley watchmen, climbed over the hillsides and down into the bush on Towa creek, near the old Omega claim, which is about twenty-two miles northeast of Nevada City. They heard the sound and saw the sprays of water from a monitor, but waited until about 8 o’clock in the evening to go after the hydraulickers, who they were certain were Chinamen that lived in a cabin near by. At that hour they made a descent upon the Chinamen, and found five of them inthe cabin. Four of these were identified as hydraulickers who had been enjoined about eight months ago, and these four were shackled and taken in charge by Worthington, Boyd and Sammis, while the fifth one was left in charge of Baker, who was to see that he did not leave for Nevada City and thus be the means of securing a writ of habeas corpus writ in behalf of his arrested countrymen. The four Chinamen and their escort had not gone far when they were overtaken by Baker, who said that the fifth man had escaped him. Baker and Sammis then resolved to stay there, while Worthington and Boyd started by a circuitous route, which they thought necessary to avoid any chance of interference. After traveling in various directions over unfrequented roads, for a distance of fully one hundred miles, and for nearly thirty hours, they arrived in this city yesterday morning between 12 and lo’clock, and passed their charges over to Sheriff Inlow. The warrants in the case of each hydraulicker now in jail, and there are eight, are returnable before Judge Keyser to-morrow morning. None of the last four Chinamen arrested would say a word yesterday to any white man. They had for visitors two prominent Marysville Chinamen, who seemed to be interested in their case. The claim which the four were working is said to be the property of Henry Lawrence, who has for a long time religiously avowed that he has been obeying and always would obey the mandates of the Court.’’ The Marysville Democrat of Wednesday evening has the following: ‘‘Dr. Stone, President of the Anti-Debris Association, is aware that a number of mines are running, and vigorous efforts will be made to stopthem. Lawrence is the owner of several mines, and if he is not more careful will soon be with his Chinese friends in the county jail. The ‘spies’ are doing good ,work, ;and run agood deal of risk in performing their duty. Sheriff Inlow had a broad grin on his face this morning when asked if a writ of habeas corpus had been served.”’ a OO Elopement.

He Gives a Statemént as to His Conversation With Joe Thomas. _— Epitor Transcriet—In your issue of the 19th instant Mr. Joseph Thomas has seen fit to tome out with a letter giving his side of our much talked of conversation. Some of his statements are correct, others not so. And now, Mr. Editor, with your permission I will give my side of the story. It is true that I was a member of a committee appointed by the Miners Union to wait on Mr. Thomas and ascertain if it was the intention of the Providence Mining Company to not employ Union men. It is also true that I agreed to see Mr. Thomas later about the matter, having been deputed to do so by the other members of the committee, and in furtherance of that object I met him at Town Talk on Friday, the 9th of March. I asked Mr. Thomas if the company had come to any conclusion respecting what the committee had asked him about. He replied, ‘‘I don’t see that you or the committee have any right to ask such a question, as the company has,a perfect right to hire whom they please.”” I said, ‘‘Maybe they have, and maybe we have no right to ask such questions, but I want to ask you this question: Is is right for you or the company to condemn the community or a body of men because one man has done wrong?’’ (TU here al: luded to the words used by John Hocking when he asked Mr. Thomas to discharge non-Union men before he would work a contract.) Mr. Thomas replied: ‘‘No,but placing myself in the position I am, what canI do? I could not doauy good for a friend if I wanted to. Now what would you do were you in my position?’ Isaid, ‘Captain Joe, I would do what is right. I would be a man among men. If I could not do what is right I would come out of it.”. He then said, ‘What? Would you come out of it and starve your family?” I replied, “I would do what is right anyhow.” Mr. Thomas then said, “Well, Clemo, I have nothing against the men or body of men that are standing out for wages or trying to keep the pay of miners at $3 per day, but we never tried to cut wages.” “Captain Joe,” said I, ‘this is not what I am here for. I am not here to ask you anything about pay, but to ask you yes or no to the question asked you by the committee of which Iam a member.” Said he, ‘Well, Clemo, the company has decided not to make any alterations.’’ ‘‘Then,”’ replied I, ‘‘I must learn by this that the company refuses to employ Union men?” He said, ‘‘Yes.” I then turned to leave, as my mission was ended, but was called back by Mr. Thomas who said, ‘‘Clemo, there is something more I want to say that I wish you to make known to the Union. Ihave been censured for going to see Mr. Carter, the foreman of the Idaho mine, and the Messrs. Coleman to try to get them to cut wages. This is alie. I was never there on any such business.” I replied, “‘I never heard any such thing, but.I did hear that one of the Walraths was there trying to induce those gentlemen to reduce wages. I do not know whether this is a fact or not, as I don’t choose to bother myself about it,” Mr. Thomas then alluded to a Committee from the Miners Union visiting the Manzanita mine in the interest of the Union, and said, ‘‘Clemo, I thought you were a christian man.’’ don’t think you ought to bein with such a body of men as you are with who are trying to take away the rights of companies and saying they are going to run thing themselves.”’ I said, “Captain Joe, this is not the business of the Union. We have pledged ourselves as men of honor to do what is right and to do nothing wrong; therefore I claim that any christian man can be a member of the Union without hurting his morals: whatever.” Mr. Thomas then said that James Snell was sent by the Union to take a contract and then gave it up again, thus giving the company great bother and trouble, and causing them to feel embittered against the Union. Neither affirming nor denying this, I said, “Is it worse for the men to bother the-Company than it is for’ the Company to bother the men by calling them sons of —— ?”’ He said, ‘‘What is that?”? Irepeated it. He then said, ‘‘Who said this?’”’ I replied ‘‘Walrath, one of the head men in the Company.” He asked me, was it the Senator. I said I did not know; it was the shortest and stoutest of them. He said, “That is Rich,” meaning R. C. Walrath. Ithen said he had better be careful what he is saying or he may get himself into trouble. I then left him. Mr. Thomas says he supposed I referred to the Miners Union. He had no right to suppose any such thing. It was his duty to know, not suppose, and in informing him of my memberthe State of Nevada and of my being compelled to leave, I told him it was becaused it was claimed I was not true to the principles of the Union. I told him I was re-instated whenI proved my innocence. I explained this to him in dtder to show him that the Union sanctioned nothing wrong. Mr. Editor, this is the substance of that conversation, and I am surprised that of honor, should have so misstated it. I deny positively that I ever said, “Well, Captain Joe, I am afraid you . will have trouble.” I ama Christian. I would not tell a lie knowingly to save had they done any thing wrong. I ath Mr. Thomas, who claims to be a man Mr. Thomas from the contempt he deserves, or to save the Miners Union . or any member of it from punishment Him who sees the innermost secrets of our hearts, and He knows whether I speak true or false ; and therefore when: I go down on my knees in prayer in the streets of Nevada City I can look to Him in all confidence, knowing my innocence and also knowing I have simply told the truth. I thank God I am above all lying. Yours with respect, J. W. CrEmo. PERSONAL MENTION. Social and Other Notes About People Old and Young. J. C. Sullivan of Sacramento is in town. : J. W.

Tidings: A Spaniard came here from Forest Hillon Tuesday and seeking out Matt Whelihan proposed a footrace of the “fake’’ order. The proposition was to havea race here and Whelihan to let the Spaniard beat him; then to go to Forest Hill and Whelihan beat the Spaniard in a race there. Trusted friends were to be given the tip and money to be wager A big clean-up would no doubt follow. Whelihan refused flatly to be a party to the swindle and the disappointed tempter after vain arguments endeavored to forget his disappointment in plebian beer. The potations had an opposite effect, however, and meeting Whelihan yesterday the Spaniard planted his flukes in the former's anatomy and below the belt. Whelihaniga peaceful young man, but his dander riz at the foul blow and so did his right and left. The contest was quickly decided and the would-be swindler was prettily and deservedly dressed down.

Another Writ Granted in the Sternes Contempt Case. In-the contempt case of Sternes, the State Supreme Court yesterday granted a writ of habeas corpus returnable $1,000 a. Got About Enough Of it. W.HU. Lee, one of the anti-mining spies who has been tolerated in this county for some time past, is said to be one of the most respected and wealthy residents of Sutter county. Heis a civil and intelligent man, and people here who have become acquainted with him invariably express surprise that he should be in such a despicable business all for the sake of a petty three dollars a day and expenses. It is stated that during the present week he got in a confidential mood while talking with an acquaintance here and said he had about concluded “oy don’t blame the people here for despising spies,’’ said he. ‘It makes me despise myself to be one.’’ Got Ashamed of Himself. Baker, the one-eyed spy who helped to capture the Chinamen at Omega last Monday night, and let one of them—an old cripple—get away from him, left here yesterday for Marysville, saying that he had become disgusted with the contemptible business of. spying and did not propose to demean himself by following it any longer. During the Omega raid his horse fell down on him and hurt him and he had a rough time generally. Baker used to be a school-teacher, and knows more than one would judge from his quaint appearance that he does. A Threat to “Get Even.” It is said on good authority that when Judge Myres on Thursday last gave his decision remanding Sternes to Sheriff's Lord’s custody, District Attorney Forbes was ‘‘knocked silly.” As soon as he recovered his speech he exclaimed, ‘‘We’ll get even, and don’t you forget it. We've got $8,000 worth of Chinamen in the Marysville jail.” He figures that the eight Mongolians will pay a fine of $500 apiece, innocent or guilty. They'll never pay a cent. Yuba county might as well enlarge her jail if sheis going to continue in this line of business. Shows Signs of Weakening. “This is a mighty dear’ experience for me, and you-can bet I’ll never get into such a scrape again,” said spy Sternes when Judge Myers ordered him back to jail day before yesterday. Sternes did not explain what he meant by the remark, but the natural supposition is that he proposes to quit spying and return to a manly way of earning & livelihood. He has the stuff in him to make a good citizen if he would only exetr his talents in the proper direction. Hunting For the Original Channel. At Boston Bar, onthe Yuba river, where in early days many Nevada nel is being driven by a local company in search ofthe original bed of the river whichis supposed to have been covered up ages ago by land slides. The tunnel has reached a depth of 160 teet, but without striking the hoped for channel. How They Sneaked Out. The spies who captured the four Omega Chinamen at Omega last Monday night say they got them out of the county by the way of San J uan,Bridgeport and Penn Valley. It was a roundabout way, giving them abeut forty miles extra traveling, but they were afraid they would run up against more law if they came by the county seat. —————————— SLEEPLESS nights, made miserable by that terrible cough.

L. ROBINSON. Interesting Incidents in the Career of a Well-Known Hydraulicker. e —— The Commercial Record of San Francisco gives an interesting sketch of the life of Lester Ludyah Robinson, President of the Miners Association and one of the most progressive hydraulic miners ever operating in Nevada county. -Mr. Robinson is of New England ancestry, and possesses to the full all the sterling traits of that ancestry. He was: born at Oxford, Chenango county, New, York, February 4th, 1824. As yet he isa young man, for age goes not by years by any means, but by the manner of life, and his life has been a frugal, careful one. He was early grounded to act from good principles, and this grounding has been his mainstay through life. He received a good common school education and was studious in his desire to advance. His studies were completed at Newburgh Academy, New York. After finishing he accepted a position-with the New York and Erie railroad. With this road was laid the basis of much of his knowledge of surveying and engineering, which he afterward completed by practical and long experience elsewhere. He did considerable surveying on the road and branches and received rapid promotion. From 1842 to ’45 he was in the main connected with the New York office. The latter year he accepted.an offer from the Chief Engineer of the Atlantic and St. Lawrence road and was in consequence engaged on the preliminary surveys from Portland, Maine, to Montreal. : After the completion of the surveys, he accepted a position on the road in Canada, and had charge of the construction department and rolling stock. He superintended the: building of several bridges on the road, notably the large drawbridge over the Richelieu river. During his time in Canada, he also made surveys for other reads, one from Three Rivers into the lumber regions, another from St. Johns to the boundary line, etc. From Canada he went to Kentucky to take charge as Chief Engineer of the Maryland-Lexington Railroad. In the same year, 1850, he was also Chief Engineer of the preliminary surveys of the Louisville and Nashville, as also for the road from Memphis to Bowling Green,Kentucky. In this section of country he continued ‘till 1854. .-That year he accepted overtures form Seymour, Morton & Co. to come to California to make a contract for the Sacramento Valley road. This firm was at that time the most important one in railroad operations in the United States. He had contracts in Maine, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, North Carolina and Tennessee. He left New York on the North Star, crossed,the Isthmus and arrived here in September en the Takes Diade. After his arrival here, he quickly concluded a contract for the road spoken of, from Sacramento to Folsom, 22 miles, and this was the first railroad operated on this coast. After agreeing as to the contract, he gan the shipment of the necessary supplies, railroad iron, engines, cars, etc. March of ’55 he returned here, and at once pushed the work with energy, so much so that on February 22, 1856, the following year, the road was opened for traffic. This did not by any means end his connection, however. The road was in further need of assistance in practical management, and in consequence he sent for his brother, who was an experienced man, and he was made Superintendent. Owing to Mr. Robinson, the wellknown banking firm of the time, Pioche, Bayerque & Co., had advanced some $750,000 on bonds, and this firm by his after energy was fully compensated. Needing a rest after his continued labor, he went to Europe, and spent a couple of years in a very needful recuperation of his energies. When he returned he took a prominent part in the construction of other roads here, notably the Freeport Railroad and the Sacramento, Placer and Nevada road. March of ’64 his father died in Brooklyn, and he went East in consequence to settle up the estate. In February, 1865, he, with H. M. Newhall and Peter Donahoe purchased the Market Street Railroad fron Pioche, Bayerque & Co. ‘The same year he extended the line, changed the motor power from steam horse, and graded Valencia street to Twenty-sixth, the terminus of the line. He also graded many streets in that then outside section. Owing to the death of Mr. Bayerque, which occured that year, the banking firm became embarrassed. The transactions of Mr. Robinson with the house, and the place he held in their esteem, caused him to be called on, and he took the management of their affairs, which he held up to Mr. Pioche’s death in 1872, when he severed his connection. He was first President.of the Giant, Powder Company, and also of the Atlantic Powder Company, operating under the patents of the inventor, Alfred Nobel. He is president of the North Bloomfield Gravel Mining Company} projector and chief promoter of the Meadow Valley Mining Company, and its first president, president of the Alcron Mining Company, of Sinaloa, Mexico, the Union Gravel Mining Company of-California, Leeds Mining Company, Utah, New Coso Mining Company, Albion Mining Company, Nevada, Homiguera Mining Company, of Lower California, and others. Of late years to mining he has dePresident of the Miners’ Association. . President of the San Jacinto Tin Comat once returned to New York and be-, Besides these enterprises he was also one of the chief promoters of the of San Bernardino county. He was{ pany. Many homestead associations owe the fact of their existence, in that he showed the way, and his example, was followed, and many in consequence who now own: homes on the homestead plan can thank him for his broad ideas on this head that made homegteads possible to poor men. He has taken an active part in in. surance matters and has been con, nected with’ San Francisco companies. in fact, on every side have his energies found vent in farming, mining, irrigation, railroad enterprises, oil well enterprises,etc. Politics he has avoided. A consistent Republican, however, he has always been affil'-ted with that party, but position + has always refused, being the more content with the activity of his business life. Mr. Robinson, as would be judged, is very systematic in his’ work, and while strict with subordinates is no measurer of a@ man’s work in petty details if thoroughness be shown. He is a firm man and determined, but an eminently just one. Mr. Robinson has certainly contributed materially to the building up of San Francisco and the State since early days, and among pioneers and people generally therefore the place he holds is one all of honor. The-esteem he is held in is but a just tribute to his worth. _ ANOTHER GRAB. Four More Mongolians Arrested for Hydraulicking. ~_— The Marysville Appéal of Thursday morning says: ‘‘On last Monday afternoon Charles Worthington, W. E. Sammis, Taylor Boyd and M. P. Baker, valley watchmen, climbed over the hillsides and down into the bush on Towa creek, near the old Omega claim, which is about twenty-two miles northeast of Nevada City. They heard the sound and saw the sprays of water from a monitor, but waited until about 8 o’clock in the evening to go after the hydraulickers, who they were certain were Chinamen that lived in a cabin near by. At that hour they made a descent upon the Chinamen, and found five of them inthe cabin. Four of these were identified as hydraulickers who had been enjoined about eight months ago, and these four were shackled and taken in charge by Worthington, Boyd and Sammis, while the fifth one was left in charge of Baker, who was to see that he did not leave for Nevada City and thus be the means of securing a writ of habeas corpus writ in behalf of his arrested countrymen. The four Chinamen and their escort had not gone far when they were overtaken by Baker, who said that the fifth man had escaped him. Baker and Sammis then resolved to stay there, while Worthington and Boyd started by a circuitous route, which they thought necessary to avoid any chance of interference. After traveling in various directions over unfrequented roads, for a distance of fully one hundred miles, and for nearly thirty hours, they arrived in this city yesterday morning between 12 and lo’clock, and passed their charges over to Sheriff Inlow. The warrants in the case of each hydraulicker now in jail, and there are eight, are returnable before Judge Keyser to-morrow morning. None of the last four Chinamen arrested would say a word yesterday to any white man. They had for visitors two prominent Marysville Chinamen, who seemed to be interested in their case. The claim which the four were working is said to be the property of Henry Lawrence, who has for a long time religiously avowed that he has been obeying and always would obey the mandates of the Court.’’ The Marysville Democrat of Wednesday evening has the following: ‘‘Dr. Stone, President of the Anti-Debris Association, is aware that a number of mines are running, and vigorous efforts will be made to stopthem. Lawrence is the owner of several mines, and if he is not more careful will soon be with his Chinese friends in the county jail. The ‘spies’ are doing good ,work, ;and run agood deal of risk in performing their duty. Sheriff Inlow had a broad grin on his face this morning when asked if a writ of habeas corpus had been served.”’ a OO Elopement.

He Gives a Statemént as to His Conversation With Joe Thomas. _— Epitor Transcriet—In your issue of the 19th instant Mr. Joseph Thomas has seen fit to tome out with a letter giving his side of our much talked of conversation. Some of his statements are correct, others not so. And now, Mr. Editor, with your permission I will give my side of the story. It is true that I was a member of a committee appointed by the Miners Union to wait on Mr. Thomas and ascertain if it was the intention of the Providence Mining Company to not employ Union men. It is also true that I agreed to see Mr. Thomas later about the matter, having been deputed to do so by the other members of the committee, and in furtherance of that object I met him at Town Talk on Friday, the 9th of March. I asked Mr. Thomas if the company had come to any conclusion respecting what the committee had asked him about. He replied, ‘‘I don’t see that you or the committee have any right to ask such a question, as the company has,a perfect right to hire whom they please.”” I said, ‘‘Maybe they have, and maybe we have no right to ask such questions, but I want to ask you this question: Is is right for you or the company to condemn the community or a body of men because one man has done wrong?’’ (TU here al: luded to the words used by John Hocking when he asked Mr. Thomas to discharge non-Union men before he would work a contract.) Mr. Thomas replied: ‘‘No,but placing myself in the position I am, what canI do? I could not doauy good for a friend if I wanted to. Now what would you do were you in my position?’ Isaid, ‘Captain Joe, I would do what is right. I would be a man among men. If I could not do what is right I would come out of it.”. He then said, ‘What? Would you come out of it and starve your family?” I replied, “I would do what is right anyhow.” Mr. Thomas then said, “Well, Clemo, I have nothing against the men or body of men that are standing out for wages or trying to keep the pay of miners at $3 per day, but we never tried to cut wages.” “Captain Joe,” said I, ‘this is not what I am here for. I am not here to ask you anything about pay, but to ask you yes or no to the question asked you by the committee of which Iam a member.” Said he, ‘Well, Clemo, the company has decided not to make any alterations.’’ ‘‘Then,”’ replied I, ‘‘I must learn by this that the company refuses to employ Union men?” He said, ‘‘Yes.” I then turned to leave, as my mission was ended, but was called back by Mr. Thomas who said, ‘‘Clemo, there is something more I want to say that I wish you to make known to the Union. Ihave been censured for going to see Mr. Carter, the foreman of the Idaho mine, and the Messrs. Coleman to try to get them to cut wages. This is alie. I was never there on any such business.” I replied, “‘I never heard any such thing, but.I did hear that one of the Walraths was there trying to induce those gentlemen to reduce wages. I do not know whether this is a fact or not, as I don’t choose to bother myself about it,” Mr. Thomas then alluded to a Committee from the Miners Union visiting the Manzanita mine in the interest of the Union, and said, ‘‘Clemo, I thought you were a christian man.’’ don’t think you ought to bein with such a body of men as you are with who are trying to take away the rights of companies and saying they are going to run thing themselves.”’ I said, “Captain Joe, this is not the business of the Union. We have pledged ourselves as men of honor to do what is right and to do nothing wrong; therefore I claim that any christian man can be a member of the Union without hurting his morals: whatever.” Mr. Thomas then said that James Snell was sent by the Union to take a contract and then gave it up again, thus giving the company great bother and trouble, and causing them to feel embittered against the Union. Neither affirming nor denying this, I said, “Is it worse for the men to bother the-Company than it is for’ the Company to bother the men by calling them sons of —— ?”’ He said, ‘‘What is that?”? Irepeated it. He then said, ‘‘Who said this?’”’ I replied ‘‘Walrath, one of the head men in the Company.” He asked me, was it the Senator. I said I did not know; it was the shortest and stoutest of them. He said, “That is Rich,” meaning R. C. Walrath. Ithen said he had better be careful what he is saying or he may get himself into trouble. I then left him. Mr. Thomas says he supposed I referred to the Miners Union. He had no right to suppose any such thing. It was his duty to know, not suppose, and in informing him of my memberthe State of Nevada and of my being compelled to leave, I told him it was becaused it was claimed I was not true to the principles of the Union. I told him I was re-instated whenI proved my innocence. I explained this to him in dtder to show him that the Union sanctioned nothing wrong. Mr. Editor, this is the substance of that conversation, and I am surprised that of honor, should have so misstated it. I deny positively that I ever said, “Well, Captain Joe, I am afraid you . will have trouble.” I ama Christian. I would not tell a lie knowingly to save had they done any thing wrong. I ath Mr. Thomas, who claims to be a man Mr. Thomas from the contempt he deserves, or to save the Miners Union . or any member of it from punishment Him who sees the innermost secrets of our hearts, and He knows whether I speak true or false ; and therefore when: I go down on my knees in prayer in the streets of Nevada City I can look to Him in all confidence, knowing my

innocence and also knowing I have simply told the truth. I thank God I am above all lying. Yours with respect, J. W. CrEmo. PERSONAL MENTION. Social and Other Notes About People Old and Young. J. C.
