4 JANUARY 6 & 13, 1854 NEVADA JOURNAL For Sale-—A GOOD, COMFORTABLE DWELLING HOUSE and Lot on Broad street, Nevada, third door above the Virginia House. The lot is 18 feet front on Broad street, running back to Spring street which it fronts about 26 feet. For particulars enquire of E. R. BupD, Journal Office. A CARD. THE malicious reports put in circulation that a lawyer was in this city from Sacramento with judgments and demands against me, &c. originated from an envious and wicked heart, or a demented brain, and are without the least foundation as there are no debts against me in San Francisco or Sacramento. H. DAVIS. DISSOLUTION of CO-PARTNERSHIP The co-partnership heretofore existing between E. R. Budd and A. A. Sargent, is this day dissolved by mutual consent. All persons indebted to said firm are required to make immediate payment, and all persons having demands will present them to either of the undersigned. E. R. Bubp, A. A. SARGENT. CO-PARTNERSHIP,—Notice is hereby given that the undersigned have this day, December 30th, 1853, formed a co-partnership, for the purpose of carrying on the printing business in Nevada city. E. R. Bubp, J. P. SKELTON. FRIDAY, JANUARY 13, 1854. Nevada Journal, A. A. SARGENT, EDITOR. Published every Friday morning by Budd & Skelton. Too Fast. The [Sacramento] Union says they are informed the Nevada Journal has passed into the hands of a Democrat of the Broderick wing of that party, and that Gen. J. Winchester has been tendered the editorship and control of the concern. There must be some mistake about this, as E. R. Budd has been for the last year and a half, ONE-HALF owner of the concern, and two weeks ago he and John P. Skelton (both Whigs, by the way) purchased the other half of A. A. Sargent, which we expect to hold for the good of ourselves and our country. It matters but little to us, whether Gen. Winchester accepts or not, as his editorials will probably lie under the table a week or two before being taken under consideration. The Journal has not passed into the hands of the democratic party, nor have we tendered the editorship to any one, save the one whose name stands at the editorial head. E. R. BUDD, JOHN P. SKELTON. Stage Monopoly. The Sacramento Union, on the authority of James Birch, “corrects a statement that the fares of the Nevada stage lines have been increased. The correction is incorrect! The fares on the Sacramento and Marysville lines have both been raised about twenty-five per cent., and the monopoly, of which Birch is president, now charges that difference above what the public paid for months previous. This change was not induced by a hard winter. The roads have been good, grain and hay have been cheap, and no reason for the change except the grasping character and the opportunity possessed by the monopolists, can be given. The combination had for its avowed object the keeping of others than the present dynasty from creating stage lines. Persons were prepared with all the facilities of good stock, carriages, &c., to put on lines at the most eligible points in the State. Perhaps the best way to prevent this was the consolidation of all the large companies in the State. By their united capital they are able to break down any less formidable association, and secure their business on every route from competition. Having armed themselves with this power, they are able to raise prices to suit themselves; and despite the “corrections” of interested parties, have actually already enhanced rates of travel to a ruinous figure.
