178 APRIL 11 & 12, 1865 NEVADA GAZETTE
POSTPONED.—The celebration which was to have taken place at North San Juan on Saturday
night last, on account of the great National triumph over the rebellion, was unavoidably postponed
on account of the weather. Nevertheless, delegations came down from Columbia Hill and Cherokee,
a meeting was held at the theater, speeches were made by J. B. Johnson and Rev. P. L. Haynes, great
enthusiasm prevailed, and everybody felt good and patriotic. The regular celebration will yet take place at
san Juan, according to the programme.
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 12, 1865
SAD.—We cannot doubt, and it is useless to deny or attempt to conceal the fact that Vice President
Andrew Johnson appeared in the Senate Chamber for inauguration in a state of inebriation, and that his
maudlin speech and actions rendered the solemn ceremony a scene of disgrace to the country and of pain
to its friends. But Johnson is a man of great intellect and mental force, a hearty patriot, and has heretofore
proved himself a moral hero. We hope and believe that he will again show himself in that character,
and redeem a name which the Nation has delighted to honor from the stigma which will otherwise rest
upon it. All good men must be grieved at the Vice President’s lapse into error and folly; but we should
charitably consider that no mortal man is free from all the weaknesses of human nature.
LISLE LESTER made her first appearance before a Nevada audience last night, and they were
charmed. She is undoubtedly the most acceptable reader who has visited this city since Mrs. Cutler.
FOR STOCKTON AND SAN QUENTIN.—Deputy Sheriff W. A. Jones went below yesterday
morning, with William Morgan, committed to the Insane Asylum at Stockton, and Richard Kneale
sentenced to the State Prison at San Quentin for ten years, for manslaughter.
COUNSEL IN THE DODGE CASE.—The counsel for the people in the case of Josiah Dodge are
Thomas P. Hawley, District Attorney, assisted by F. L. Hatch, M. L. Waters and Cornelius Taylor. The
counsel for the defendant are Judge Belden, A. B. Dibble, Jesse O. Goodwin and E. W. Maslin. Hatch and
Goodwin were not employed in the trial of Robert Dodge.
DISTRICT COURT.—The District Court met yesterday, and the trial of Josiah Dodge, charged as
accessory to the murder of Mark P. Hammock, at Allison Ranch, was commenced. A jury was obtained
with little difficulty, and a part of the testimony for the prosecution was taken. The following are the
names of the jurors impanneled: Daniel Yubal, David Davis, John McCoy, Daniel Roberts, Frank Ryan, J.
Garber, Joseph Chew, S. Cushman, E. Williams, George Sharpe, David Gowen, Martin Garber.
REJOICING AT YOU BET.—The citizens of You Bet, we are informed by Mr. Hopkinson, had
a glorious time on Monday night, celebrating the capture of Lee and his army. Anvil artillery boomed,
bonfires blazed, the mountains reverberated with the echoes of John Brown’s soul as it went marching on
in glory, and the people boiled over with jubilant excitement. They had not heard of the capture of Jeff.
Davis, and it is well they had not. A little more good news at that time would have been “too many” for
them.
NEW HAT STORE.—Otur readers will observe, from an advertisement in another column, that Mr.
S. Novitzky, a practical hatter and furrier of experience, has opened a hat store and manufactory on the
north side of Commercial street, in this city, where customers can be suited to anything in that line, as
well as any house below, and at prices as reasonable. He will make hats and caps to order of any material,
