The North Banner mine inthis district is reported to have been sold fecently to a London syndicate. The sinking of-the shaft at the Rocky Glen mine-near Graniteville is progressing well. The ledge looks firstrate. William Martin, a carman at the Idaho mine, got two of his fingers between a car and apiece of timber and had them severely cut. A drunken woman perambulating Commercial street was one of the things to be seen in the Modern Athens on Tuesday evening. Itis currently reported here.that the Idaho quartz mine at Grass Valley never paid better than at present, and that last month’s cleanup approximated $90,090, ‘ Ex-Public Administrator Lord has filed his final accounts and. petitions for discharge in the matters of Patrick Mulligan and George Carroll, deceased. The 22d instant has been fixed as the time for hearing. Wm, Britlahd-says~that his horse Pete will not race at Glenbrook Park during the Fair next month; and that whoever caused it to be entered for the district roadster trot did so without authority from him. Citizens of. Piety Hill are circulating a petition asking the City Trustees to have an electric light placed on the upper Grass Valley.read near Cooper’s lumber yard. The Trustees should grant the petition without hesitation. A cleaning fever has broken out on Broad street. The walls of the-County Treasurer’s office and of the entrance to Odd Fellows Hall are being relieyed of the smoke and dirt that have accumulated. upon -them in: ages past. They were in need of renovation. There is on exhibition at the Land Improvement : Association’s office a: squash harvested a year ago which 8 as sound and plump as it was the day it was picked from the vine at Stevene’ ranch two miles above town. Nevada county vegetables as well as Nevada county fruit beat the world for their keeping qualities. , Wm. Miller, the farm-hand from Penn Valley who came to town a few days ago for a ‘‘toot,’’ and when loaded with benzine committed battery on Tom Stewartson because the latter called him a bad name, and subsequently pleaded guilty upon being arrested, was fined $15 yesterday by Justice Wadsworth. He paid the fine and returned to his rural pursuits a poorer if not a wiser man, 4 . . Two Mines Financially Involved. Conrad Grissell of this city, proprietor of the Nevada City and Washington stage line yesterday attached the Eagle Bird quartz mine at Maybert for $851.36, and the Spanish mine in the same district for $3,354. Plaintiff's claims are for freight hauled and for merchandise and other supplies furnished, Messrs. Cross & Simonds are his attorneys. The mines are owned by San Francisco incorporations and are under the management of E. B. Shattuck. It has heretofore been supposed they were paying well. Henry Gailbraith, N. Trebilcock, George Sleep and Frederick W. Medlin, by their attorneys, Messrs. Farley & Little, have filed laborer’s liens on the Eagle Bird mine for sums aggregating about $700. They have been working there as miners and have not been paid for some three months past. They claim there has been enough gold taken out of the Eagle Bird during that time to more than pay for the labor and supplies, but that it has been expended in prospecting other properties. a oe eo Relief For the Camptonville Sufferers. The people of Nevada City have contributed $340 in money to the relief of the needy sufferers by the recent fire at Camptonville. They have also given considerable clothing which will come very handy to their unfortunate neighbors. Were times ‘‘flush’’ here, as they have been until within a few months and will be again before long, the Queen City: of the Sierra would have done much more than she has in this line ; but the poor. widow’s mite is always credited up to the good side of humanity the same as the rich man’s munificent gift. OM For the Lakes. Today Charles E. Kent, Bert Dickerman, Watson Charles, Barnum Power and David Matteson, Nevada City young men, take their departure for a forinight’s tour of the mountain lakes. ' They will go with a span of horses, a wagon and acomplete camping outfit, and count upon having a number one time. " Semething to Regret. The small boy of a clergyman was discovered by his mother in the act of ornamenting with his jack knife a costly table by a deeply cut carving of his ideal steamboat. A day or two after, the lady saw him from the doorway, contemplating with admiring eyes his uncompleted work, and heard him sigh: ‘‘By George! I wish I had got the smokestack on before she licked me!’ So it is with people who fail to buy their supplies at Gaylord’s grocery store. When they suddenly discover what bargains their neighbors haye been getting there they exclaim, “T wish I had commenced trading with Gaylord long ago,” and henceforth they do trade with him. au2-tf House to Let.

A BURNING ISSUE. —_— § How Miss Ackerman Would Put Out the Fire of Intemperance. es “The question of intemperance has been agitated for nearly .half a century,’”’ remarked Miss J. A! Ackerman, Grand Lecturer of the Good Templars’ of the State, to the large aftdience that assembled at the Methodist church Tuesday evening to hear her talk, ‘‘and we’ believe ‘it has reached a point where it must be settled. Now no question is ever settled till it is settled right. It-was so with the question of taxation, so with the slavery question ; and an attempt at com promise by dividing the spoils can never settle any question. It never has and never will. “For years past the question has been left in the hands of the Legislature, but if ever settled effectively it must be done by the voice of the people, and, the people are becoming aroused to the fact. “None are affected by this license system as much as the poorer classes, men-who are too poor to buy the law, so they must pay the penalty of the law, and.the State prisons are full of convicts who have become victims of this curse. Not only can we see the victims in prisons, but everywhere in lifewe behold them. I-have seen myself the evil effects of this curse, 1 could stand here till morning relating incidents that have come before my observation in. my journey through the land. I once beheld the shocking spectacle of a man taking. his: own life. He had become a victim to the use of liquor,and being unable to dvercome the appetite he resolved to put an end to his life. So placing a pistol to his head, in the presence of his wife and myself, he fell dead at our feet. In San Francisco I knew a man of great wealth who fell-a victim to this fatal habit, and as he closed his eyes toearthly scenes his last words were, ‘There’s nothing but hell before me.’ The remembrance, of these words were a poor inheritance for a man of wealth: to bestow upon his wife and family. : “Besides what: we see almost daily, history lifts its warning voice, and on every page of human life we find recorded the evil effects of this curse. ‘Ed ar Allen Poe, he that gave to the world that mystical poem of sorrow, ‘The Raven,’ was a man so gifted, that in burning letters bright the world should have read his name; but strong drink was his ruin. At the early age of 36,in a prison cell in Baltimore, wrapped about with the miserable drapery of delirium tremens, he sank into a drunkard’s grave. “John Howard Payne immortalized his name by giving to the world that beautiful song, ‘Home; Sweet Home,’ a song translated into all tongues,sung wherever the camp fires of civilization burn. But he who knew so well the power and influence of home died without one. Through the appetite of strong drink he went down and down, and like many another sank into a drunkard’s grave. “Yet with such evidences.as these of the disastrous effect of rum upon man, it is a fact that our sons are not afforded the protection that the government has given the Apache Indian. We dure not, under the penalty of the law ,either ‘give, sell, furnish or cause to be furnished’ to one of this tribe anything that can intoxicate. “T came not long since from a cotinty where they were trying the effect of high license. I am opposed to high license for two reasons: First, it is just as wrong in principle as low license, and two wrongs never yet made a right. Then it makes of the business a monopoly, giving a man with money the advantage of the business, and I say if the business isa good thing for a rich man, it’s a better thing for a poor man, and*I believe in giving a man a show even in the whisky business. So we have become conviriced that to successfully abolish this evil we must hurl the solid rocks of facts into our legislative halis of State and legislate against the traffic. “Tt is not my custom to array before an intelligent reading public an appalling array of statistics that can be read in any and all papers, but we look over our land and we find 200,000 licensed toll gates to hell, 800,000 paupers, 100,000 men and women sent to State prison, 200,000 children bequeathed to charitable institutions, -60,000 raving maniacs, 600,000 drunkards, and 100,000 dying every year. Yes, this destroying angel is passing over our land, and we trace his flight in.tracks of blood. We see this fair land of ours strewn with the mangled carcasses of a whole generation of drunken dead. What are you doing to arrest the flight of this destroying angel? °°. ‘In closing I want to call your attention to the Order I represent. I am sent out by the Grand Lodge, I. QO. G. T. of the Siate of California, one of the oldest and largest temperance organizations in the civilized world. The sun never sets upon the Good ‘Templars, for when it sets upon them in this continent it is only to.shine on others in the uttermost parts of the world. Our rituals are printed in eleven different languages, and surely such a host, enlisted in the cause of right,shall go forth from victory unto victory unto victory, conquering and to conquer. : ‘In this State the Order has accomplished much. We have an everlasting and towering monument of their efforts in the form of an Orphan’s Home sustained by this Order. We have 16,000 boys and girls in the State gathered into Bands of Hope, and beside this, keep from three to five lecturers in the field all the year round, the of Christ and the gos-' pony toe reaches thousands pel of temperance of homes in the State through the efforts of our missionaries. Believing the words, ‘He that is for us is greater than he that is against us,’ we look forward to the time when the same voice that stilled the waves on the lake of Galilee shall be heard to proclaim, ‘Peace on earth, good will to men.’ ’’ PERSONAL MENTION.

He is making a tour by carriage of Northen California and Oregon. EXTENDING OPERATIONS. The Nevada County Land and Imprevement Association Prospering. Ata meeting of the Directors of the Nevada County Land Association held yesterday at the office in thie city, it was practically decided to “increase the present capital stock of the corporation from $500,000, divided into 5,000 shares of the par value of $100 each, to $1,000,000, divided into 100,000 shares having a par value of $10 each. The meeting at. which this action will doubtless be consummated will be held October 15th at this city, the call therefor appearing in another column. This proposition to increase the capital stock is due to the desire of the Association to still further extend its business which has prospered so far beyond the most sanguine expectations of the stockholders. A portion of the stock is to be put upon the market at a fair figure, and a working capital derived which will enable the purchase of a quantity of land. Next week a portion of the Directors will visit Auburn for the purpose of establishing there a branch office through which an extensive business in lands in Nevada,Placer and El Dorado counties will be carried on. State Text Books. .A citizen and patron of the public schools wants, the Transcript to inform him why no move has been’ made on the part of the proper authorities to have the State series of arithmetics used in the public schools of this county. The question is a timely one, and calls attention toa matter that should be promptly attended to. The contract for the arithmetics heretofore in use have expired. The law explicitly requires that the State series shall be used at the expiration of these contracts. A failure to respect the law is punishable by withholding from the offending districts or counties 25 per cent. of the portion \of the State school fund to which they would otherwise be entitled. Ifthe trustees do not propose to ignore the law and suffer the forfeit, it would be well for them to signify as much immediately in order that a supply of the required: bopks may be obtained before the opening of the schools for the Fall term. : Raffle for a Horse: A saddle horse will be raffied Saturday evening at F.

AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY. Evidence Found Which Goes to Help Captain Rapp's Case. The Sacramento Bee of Tuesday says: A gentleman until recently : very prominently connected with the N. G. C. was rummaging through some papers last night, and found various receipts and vouchers that would have cut a very prominent figure in the. recent Rapp court-martial. The gentleman holding them had forgotten all about their existence. It is now too late to bring them forward, but if the Court-martial decide against Captain Rapp an appeal will be taken to the Governor, and these documents be furnished. .They were placed at thé disposal of the managing editor of the Bee this morning, but, at the request of Captain Rapp, who—foolishly, we think—desires them kept from the public eye until they can be seen by the Governor—they were recalled. We feel under no obligations, however, to refrain from stating that these vouchers and receipts represent more than half the sum charged up against Captain Rapp, and that they-are a complete exculpation and exoneration of him so far as those amounts are concerned. If they are a fair citerion by which to judge of the financial conduct generally of the Captain, we must set him down as well meaning and honest, but intensely careless. Time, however, will tell the whole tale. Meanwhile, it should be a warning tohim. He is now under a eloud— whiech-may~ have been raised, not by his criminality hut by his foolish negligence. When the charges were first formally sprung on Captain Rapp, the TrRANscript reporter had a talk with him about the matter. He then said; “T will have no difficulty in establishing the fact that have I expended for the company during the 14 years of my captaincy a large sum in excess of what the company’s income from the State has-been. I think that I have contributed in -various ways from my own pocket in the neighborhood of four hundred dollars a year for the benefit. of the company in addition to what.I have received for that purpose. There is one thing that stands in the way of my making such a showing in a manner that will establish its. correctness beyond dispute. I have in many cases failed to demand vouchers for sums expended. Various parties to whom I have paid money haveé léft here, and numerous items have slipped my mind. If all the persons to whom I have paid money in this way will come to the front, I will be able to completely exonerate myself.”’ It was the Captain’s request at that time that the Transcrir make no reference to this:branch of the subject till after the court-martial, if one should be held. It respected his request. Tuesday evening he returned from Sacramento. The reporter yesterday showed him the article in the Bee. He read it carefully, said that it was correct so far as the finding of the additional evidence is concerned, but remarked that he preferred to say no more on the subject at present, excepting that the prosecution against him had been of a character that from the first he had no hope of a fair hearing. ‘ Captain Rapp’s friends are confident that he will-yet secure other important evidence in hia favor. The Chinese Gamblers. The case of the four Mongolians, charged with gambling in Chinatown, was set for hearing in Justice Sowden’s Court at 10 o’clock yesterday morning: District Attorney Long was absent in Truckee attending to the Clark case, but the accused were present with their attoneys. An immediate hearing was demanded by the defense,and was refused, the matter being continued till to-morrow. Mr. Simonds asked the Justice on what grounds he had charged the Chinamen: $2 50 each for: drawing up their bonds, and his honor replied that he charged it because he regarded. himself entitled to, the money as a consideration for: services performed. In the afternoon the Chinamen surrendered themselves into custody, and then their attorneys, Messrs. Gaylord & Searls and Cross & Simonds, applied to Judge Walling for their discharge on a writ of habeas corpus. The hearing of the application resulted in the writ being granted on the ground that the complaint was too general in its statements, and that the defendants were entitled to an immediate hearing. Justice W. P. Sowden appeared as attorney for the State. A Perilous Postponement. To postpone, when the duty for immediate action is clear, is always unwise. Especially is it so-when increasing i] health calls for a resort. to medication. Diseases of the kidneys and bladder are often of swift growth— always of fatal tendency if ~ not combatted at the outset. We have all—even those of us who are not remarkably well instructed—heard something of the danger attending Bright’s Nesnas, diabetes, and other. diseases of the kidneys or bladder. Let no one be foolhardy enough to procrastinate if he perceives the renal organs to be inactive. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters are peculiarly adapted to overcome this inaction, to ligt eA stimulate, without exciting, the kidneys and bladder. Infinitely is this diuretic to be preferred to the impure and fiery stimulants of commerce, which prove the bane of unwary persons with a tendency to renal troubles. They are likewise incomparable for Syepepsia, debility, fever and argue, and biliousness. Take Notice. ' All persons indebted to me are requested to make immediate payment to Wa. G.

But before making serious charges against those who are entrusted with iifipertant offices, it may be excused ifit is reluctant in making ‘assertions of a criminal’ character unless some proof of a positive character is. first offered. : This paper further differs as to the method proposed to be pursued in bringing such cases. Where one person takes it upon himself to institute proceedings for the public good, there are many evil disposed —people—who may question the motives’ for inecurring an expense and bearing a private burden for the public good. The Transcript thinks the Grand Jury is the proper and legally constituted body who~ should investigate questions of this kind, and before whom grievances should be laid. A Grand Jury has not been convened thissyear! and under the law it must be: called annually by the Superior Judge. No doubt Judge Walling will call one on short notice on the complaint of any person who will show him good cause into official. acts. The:law makes it their duty to enquire into the doings of publie officials, make accusations, and .8i reforms. surest Where: private individuals, take it-upon themselves to become public benefactors, malicious motives are cften ascribed asthe moving cause and the pfosecution becomes the means of exciting public. sympathy for the accused instead of an instrument for rooting out the evil, se chee Encampment Items. The members of ( Jompiany C of this city willleave on the 9:35 train Saturday morning for Santa Cruz where the First Artillery Regiment will hold their encampment this year. About 45 members of the Company are going, and they will be accompanied by a number of friends and relatives ineluding several ladies. A contract his been made with the Narrow Gauge railroad to transport sixty persons from this city to Colfaxandreturn’ for $50, all in excess of sixty being charged the regular fare. A similar reduction has been made in rates from Colfax to Sacramento and return, and the round, fare trip between Sacramento and Santa Cruz will be $4.50. The State pays the fares of the militiamen. Colonel Guthrie has accepted the invitation of Colonel Wm. N. Shatter, of the Virst Infantry Regiment, U. 8. A., to locate theca p in the same field with the regular soldiers, instead of directly on the beach, as at first contemplated. The site selected is near the Pope House, and is high and dry. The distance from the camp of the,regulars is only about 300 yards, and an open space between the two leaves excellent ground for drilling. From this close connection to “sure enough” soldiers, the militia boys will be able to obtain many valuable pointers regarding drill and discipline. .

The North Banner mine inthis district is reported to have been sold fecently to a London syndicate. The sinking of-the shaft at the Rocky Glen mine-near Graniteville is progressing well. The ledge looks firstrate. William Martin, a carman at the Idaho mine, got two of his fingers between a car and apiece of timber and had them severely cut. A drunken woman perambulating Commercial street was one of the things to be seen in the Modern Athens on Tuesday evening. Itis currently reported here.that the Idaho quartz mine at Grass Valley never paid better than at present, and that last month’s cleanup approximated $90,090, ‘ Ex-Public Administrator Lord has filed his final accounts and. petitions for discharge in the matters of Patrick Mulligan and George Carroll, deceased. The 22d instant has been fixed as the time for hearing. Wm, Britlahd-says~that his horse Pete will not race at Glenbrook Park during the Fair next month; and that whoever caused it to be entered for the district roadster trot did so without authority from him. Citizens of. Piety Hill are circulating a petition asking the City Trustees to have an electric light placed on the upper Grass Valley.read near Cooper’s lumber yard. The Trustees should grant the petition without hesitation. A cleaning fever has broken out on Broad street. The walls of the-County Treasurer’s office and of the entrance to Odd Fellows Hall are being relieyed of the smoke and dirt that have accumulated. upon -them in: ages past. They were in need of renovation. There is on exhibition at the Land Improvement : Association’s office a: squash harvested a year ago which 8 as sound and plump as it was the day it was picked from the vine at Stevene’ ranch two miles above town. Nevada county vegetables as well as Nevada county fruit beat the world for their keeping qualities. , Wm.

He paid the fine and returned to his rural pursuits a poorer if not a wiser man, 4 . . Two Mines Financially Involved. Conrad Grissell of this city, proprietor of the Nevada City and Washington stage line yesterday attached the Eagle Bird quartz mine at Maybert for $851.36, and the Spanish mine in the same district for $3,354. Plaintiff's claims are for freight hauled and for merchandise and other supplies furnished, Messrs. Cross & Simonds are his attorneys. The mines are owned by San Francisco incorporations and are under the management of E. B. Shattuck. It has heretofore been supposed they were paying well. Henry Gailbraith, N. Trebilcock, George Sleep and Frederick W. Medlin, by their attorneys, Messrs. Farley & Little, have filed laborer’s liens on the Eagle Bird mine for sums aggregating about $700. They have been working there as miners and have not been paid for some three months past. They claim there has been enough gold taken out of the Eagle Bird during that time to more than pay for the labor and supplies, but that it has been expended in prospecting other properties. a oe eo Relief For the Camptonville Sufferers. The people of Nevada City have contributed $340 in money to the relief of the needy sufferers by the recent fire at Camptonville. They have also given considerable clothing which will come very handy to their unfortunate neighbors. Were times ‘‘flush’’ here, as they have been until within a few months and will be again before long, the Queen City: of the Sierra would have done much more than she has in this line ; but the poor. widow’s mite is always credited up to the good side of humanity the same as the rich man’s munificent gift.

The small boy of a clergyman was discovered by his mother in the act of ornamenting with his jack knife a costly table by a deeply cut carving of his ideal steamboat. A day or two after, the lady saw him from the doorway, contemplating with admiring eyes his uncompleted work, and heard him sigh: ‘‘By George! I wish I had got the smokestack on before she licked me!’ So it is with people who fail to buy their supplies at Gaylord’s grocery store.

A BURNING ISSUE. —_— § How Miss Ackerman Would Put Out the Fire of Intemperance. es “The question of intemperance has been agitated for nearly .half a century,’”’ remarked Miss J. A! Ackerman, Grand Lecturer of the Good Templars’ of the State, to the large aftdience that assembled at the Methodist church Tuesday evening to hear her talk, ‘‘and we’ believe ‘it has reached a point where it must be settled. Now no question is ever settled till it is settled right. It-was so with the question of taxation, so with the slavery question ; and an attempt at com promise by dividing the spoils can never settle any question. It never has and never will. “For years past the question has been left in the hands of the Legislature, but if ever settled effectively it must be done by the voice of the people, and, the people are becoming aroused to the fact. “None are affected by this license system as much as the poorer classes, men-who are too poor to buy the law, so they must pay the penalty of the law, and.the State prisons are full of convicts who have become victims of this curse. Not only can we see the victims in prisons, but everywhere in lifewe behold them. I-have seen myself the evil effects of this curse, 1 could stand here till morning relating incidents that have come before my observation in. my journey through the land. I once beheld the shocking spectacle of a man taking. his: own life. He had become a victim to the use of liquor,and being unable to dvercome the appetite he resolved to put an end to his life. So placing a pistol to his head, in the presence of his wife and myself, he fell dead at our feet. In San Francisco I knew a man of great wealth who fell-a victim to this fatal habit, and as he closed his eyes toearthly scenes his last words were, ‘There’s nothing but hell before me.’ The remembrance, of these words were a poor inheritance for a man of wealth: to bestow upon his wife and family. : “Besides what: we see almost daily, history lifts its warning voice, and on every page of human life we find recorded the evil effects of this curse. ‘Ed ar Allen Poe, he that gave to the world that mystical poem of sorrow, ‘The Raven,’ was a man so gifted, that in burning letters bright the world should have read his name; but strong drink was his ruin. At the early age of 36,in a prison cell in Baltimore, wrapped about with the miserable drapery of delirium tremens, he sank into a drunkard’s grave. “John Howard Payne immortalized his name by giving to the world that beautiful song, ‘Home; Sweet Home,’ a song translated into all tongues,sung wherever the camp fires of civilization burn. But he who knew so well the power and influence of home died without one. Through the appetite of strong drink he went down and down, and like many another sank into a drunkard’s grave. “Yet with such evidences.as these of the disastrous effect of rum upon man, it is a fact that our sons are not afforded the protection that the government has given the Apache Indian. We dure not, under the penalty of the law ,either ‘give, sell, furnish or cause to be furnished’ to one of this tribe anything that can intoxicate. “T came not long since from a cotinty where they were trying the effect of high license. I am opposed to high license for two reasons: First, it is just as wrong in principle as low license, and two wrongs never yet made a right. Then it makes of the business a monopoly, giving a man with money the advantage of the business, and I say if the business isa good thing for a rich man, it’s a better thing for a poor man, and*I believe in giving a man a show even in the whisky business. So we have become conviriced that to successfully abolish this evil we must hurl the solid rocks of facts into our legislative halis of State and legislate against the traffic. “Tt is not my custom to array before an intelligent reading public an appalling array of statistics that can be read in any and all papers, but we look over our land and we find 200,000 licensed toll gates to hell, 800,000 paupers, 100,000 men and women sent to State prison, 200,000 children bequeathed to charitable institutions, -60,000 raving maniacs, 600,000 drunkards, and 100,000 dying every year. Yes, this destroying angel is passing over our land, and we trace his flight in.tracks of blood. We see this fair land of ours strewn with the mangled carcasses of a whole generation of drunken dead. What are you doing to arrest the flight of this destroying angel? °°. ‘In closing I want to call your attention to the Order I represent. I am sent out by the Grand Lodge, I. QO. G. T. of the Siate of California, one of the oldest and largest temperance organizations in the civilized world. The sun never sets upon the Good ‘Templars, for when it sets upon them in this continent it is only to.shine on others in the uttermost parts of the world. Our rituals are printed in eleven different languages, and surely such a host, enlisted in the cause of right,shall go forth from victory unto victory unto victory, conquering and to conquer. : ‘In this State the Order has accomplished much. We have an everlasting and towering monument of their efforts in the form of an Orphan’s Home sustained by this Order. We have 16,000 boys and girls in the State gathered into Bands of Hope, and beside this, keep from three to five lecturers in the field all the year round, the of Christ and the gos-' pony toe reaches thousands pel of temperance of homes in the State through the efforts of our missionaries. Believing the words, ‘He that is for us is greater than he that is against us,’ we look forward to the time when the same voice that stilled the waves on the lake of Galilee shall be heard to proclaim, ‘Peace on earth, good will to men.’ ’’ PERSONAL MENTION.

Ata meeting of the Directors of the Nevada County Land Association held yesterday at the office in thie city, it was practically decided to “increase the present capital stock of the corporation from $500,000, divided into 5,000 shares of the par value of $100 each, to $1,000,000, divided into 100,000 shares having a par value of $10 each. The meeting at. which this action will doubtless be consummated will be held October 15th at this city, the call therefor appearing in another column. This proposition to increase the capital stock is due to the desire of the Association to still further extend its business which has prospered so far beyond the most sanguine expectations of the stockholders. A portion of the stock is to be put upon the market at a fair figure, and a working capital derived which will enable the purchase of a quantity of land. Next week a portion of the Directors will visit Auburn for the purpose of establishing there a branch office through which an extensive business in lands in Nevada,Placer and El Dorado counties will be carried on. State Text Books. .A citizen and patron of the public schools wants, the Transcript to inform him why no move has been’ made on the part of the proper authorities to have the State series of arithmetics used in the public schools of this county. The question is a timely one, and calls attention toa matter that should be promptly attended to. The contract for the arithmetics heretofore in use have expired. The law explicitly requires that the State series shall be used at the expiration of these contracts. A failure to respect the law is punishable by withholding from the offending districts or counties 25 per cent. of the portion \of the State school fund to which they would otherwise be entitled. Ifthe trustees do not propose to ignore the law and suffer the forfeit, it would be well for them to signify as much immediately in order that a supply of the required: bopks may be obtained before the opening of the schools for the Fall term. : Raffle for a Horse: A saddle horse will be raffied Saturday evening at F.

AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY. Evidence Found Which Goes to Help Captain Rapp's Case. The Sacramento Bee of Tuesday says: A gentleman until recently : very prominently connected with the N. G. C. was rummaging through some papers last night, and found various receipts and vouchers that would have cut a very prominent figure in the. recent Rapp court-martial. The gentleman holding them had forgotten all about their existence. It is now too late to bring them forward, but if the Court-martial decide against Captain Rapp an appeal will be taken to the Governor, and these documents be furnished. .They were placed at thé disposal of the managing editor of the Bee this morning, but, at the request of Captain Rapp, who—foolishly, we think—desires them kept from the public eye until they can be seen by the Governor—they were recalled. We feel under no obligations, however, to refrain from stating that these vouchers and receipts represent more than half the sum charged up against Captain Rapp, and that they-are a complete exculpation and exoneration of him so far as those amounts are concerned. If they are a fair citerion by which to judge of the financial conduct generally of the Captain, we must set him down as well meaning and honest, but intensely careless. Time, however, will tell the whole tale.. Meanwhile, it should be a warning tohim. He is now under a eloud— whiech-may~ have been raised, not by his criminality hut by his foolish negligence. When the charges were first formally sprung on Captain Rapp, the TrRANscript reporter had a talk with him about the matter. He then said; “T will have no difficulty in establishing the fact that have I expended for the company during the 14 years of my captaincy a large sum in excess of what the company’s income from the State has-been. I think that I have contributed in -various ways from my own pocket in the neighborhood of four hundred dollars a year for the benefit. of the company in addition to what.I have received for that purpose. There is one thing that stands in the way of my making such a showing in a manner that will establish its. correctness beyond dispute. I have in many cases failed to demand vouchers for sums expended. Various parties to whom I have paid money haveé léft here, and numerous items have slipped my mind. If all the persons to whom I have paid money in this way will come to the front, I will be able to completely exonerate myself.”’ It was the Captain’s request at that time that the Transcrir make no reference to this:branch of the subject till after the court-martial, if one should be held. It respected his request. Tuesday evening he returned from Sacramento. The reporter yesterday showed him the article in the Bee. He read it carefully, said that it was correct so far as the finding of the additional evidence is concerned, but remarked that he preferred to say no more on the subject at present, excepting that the prosecution against him had been of a character that from the first he had no hope of a fair hearing. ‘ Captain Rapp’s friends are confident that he will-yet secure other important evidence in hia favor. The Chinese Gamblers. The case of the four Mongolians, charged with gambling in Chinatown, was set for hearing in Justice Sowden’s Court at 10 o’clock yesterday morning: District Attorney Long was absent in Truckee attending to the Clark case, but the accused were present with their attoneys. An immediate hearing was demanded by the defense,and was refused, the matter being continued till to-morrow. Mr. Simonds asked the Justice on what grounds he had charged the Chinamen: $2 50 each for:

drawing up their bonds, and his honor replied that he charged it because he regarded. himself entitled to, the money as a consideration for: services performed. In the afternoon the Chinamen surrendered themselves into custody, and then their attorneys, Messrs. Gaylord & Searls and Cross & Simonds, applied to Judge Walling for their discharge on a writ of habeas corpus. The hearing of the application resulted in the writ being granted on the ground that the complaint was too general in its statements, and that the defendants were entitled to an immediate hearing. Justice W. P. Sowden appeared as attorney for the State. A Perilous Postponement. To postpone, when the duty for immediate action is clear, is always unwise. Especially is it so-when increasing i] health calls for a resort. to medication. Diseases of the kidneys and bladder are often of swift growth— always of fatal tendency if ~ not combatted at the outset. We have all—even those of us who are not remarkably well instructed—heard something of the danger attending Bright’s Nesnas, diabetes, and other. diseases of the kidneys or bladder. Let no one be foolhardy enough to procrastinate if he perceives the renal organs to be inactive. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters are peculiarly adapted to overcome this inaction, to ligt eA stimulate, without exciting, the kidneys and bladder. Infinitely is this diuretic to be preferred to the impure and fiery stimulants of commerce, which prove the bane of unwary persons with a tendency to renal troubles. They are likewise incomparable for Syepepsia, debility, fever and argue, and biliousness. Take Notice. ' All persons indebted to me are requested to make immediate payment to Wa. G.

But before making serious charges against those who are entrusted with iifipertant offices, it may be excused ifit is reluctant in making ‘assertions of a criminal’ character unless some proof of a positive character is. first offered. : This paper further differs as to the method proposed to be pursued in bringing such cases. Where one person takes it upon himself to institute proceedings for the public good, there are many evil disposed —people—who may question the motives’ for inecurring an expense and bearing a private burden for the public good. The Transcript thinks the Grand Jury is the proper and legally constituted body who~ should investigate questions of this kind, and before whom grievances should be laid. A Grand Jury has not been convened thissyear! and under the law it must be: called annually by the Superior Judge. No doubt Judge Walling will call one on short notice on the complaint of any person who will show him good cause into official. acts. The:law makes it their duty to enquire into the doings of publie officials, make accusations, and .8i reforms. surest Where: private individuals, take it-upon themselves to become public benefactors, malicious motives are cften ascribed asthe moving cause and the pfosecution becomes the means of exciting public. sympathy for the accused instead of an instrument for rooting out the evil, se chee Encampment Items.

A similar reduction has been made in rates from Colfax to Sacramento and return, and the round, fare trip between Sacramento and Santa Cruz will be $4.50. The State pays the fares of the militiamen. Colonel Guthrie has accepted the invitation of Colonel Wm. N. Shatter, of the Virst Infantry Regiment, U. 8. A., to locate theca p in the same field with the regular soldiers, instead of directly on the beach, as at first contemplated. The site selected is near the Pope House, and is high and dry. The distance from the camp of the,regulars is only about 300 yards, and an open space between the two leaves excellent ground for drilling. From this close connection to “sure enough” soldiers, the militia boys will be able to obtain many valuable pointers regarding drill and discipline. .
