GRASS VALLEY UNION JUNE 3 & 4, 1865 319 delegations of colored people went from Grass Valley and other places adjacent to assist their Nevada brethren in raising the necessary means to complete their new church, about which they have been so peculiarly unfortunate. We understand that a festival having the same worthy object in view, will be given in Grass Valley on the tenth of the present month. We bespeak for these energetic people a liberal response from our citizens. THEY ARE COMING.—Already the animals to be entered for the races which are to commence on the Glenbrook Park on the 13th inst., are beginning to arrive. On Wednesday, “Blue Dale,” “Finnegan,” “Sweetwater,” “Jenny Hall,” and several other first crabs arrived at the track, all in fine order and excellent spirits; and Charley Osborn says a number of other “crack” nags will be along in a few days. The coming races will be very interesting to all, and highly profitable to those who bet on the winning horses. BRING ON YOUR JOBS.—We have just received from San Francisco a large and elegant assortment of new style Job Type, and are now better prepared than ever to execute all kinds of job work in handsome style. Those of our friends having any description of job printing to do, will please call and see us. THE NEW BRIDGE.—On Wednesday we rode over the Broad street bridge, just completed in Nevada city, and think it one of the finest structures of the kind in the county. It is very substantially built, and will no doubt last through a long series of years; at least we hope so. SUNDAY, JUNE 4, 1865 BORN. OBED [?].—In Grass Valley, June 3d, to the wife of a son. RATHBURN.—At Columbia Hill May 29th, to the wife of L. D. Rathburn, a son. BAD BOYS.—On Friday afternoon, a number of boys, who should have been more profitably employed, gathered in front of the Wisconsin Hotel, on Main street, for the purpose of attacking and abusing an unfortunate Chinaman, who happened to be passing by at the time. They got the Chinaman on the sidewalk, beat him with rocks, sticks, and whatever else they could get hold of, and finally obtained a pillow, which they took turns about in using on his head. A crowd of men, who were worse than the boys, urged the youngsters on in their cruel treatment of the celestial, and applauded each blow that was inflicted. This treatment was continued for the space of nearly an hour, the unfortunate creature being unable to free himself from the ruffianly crowd. Now, we have no more partiality for Chinamen than anybody else. In fact, we consider them a filthy and degraded race. Nevertheless, we cannot stand by and see them wantonly abused without administering a rebuke to their persecutors. Those who will thus illtreat a Chinaman, would not hesitate to commit other unlawful acts, and should be checked before it is too late. The Chinese, under our laws, have as much right here, as the boy who was born upon American soil. The laws of our Country were made for the protection of all classes of the community, and while the Chinese are subjected to them, they should also be protected by them; and we should take care that if another such case comes under our knowledge, the perpetrators of such an outrage, be they boys or men, shall not go unpunished. As a general thing, the boys of Grass Valley are the most unruly lot of youngsters we have ever met, and a little wholesale punishment would do some of them, at least, no great harm. We now caution them to be careful, as we have the names of a number of those who were engaged in abusing the poor Chinaman on Friday last, and a repetition of such conduct will be most certain to bring them into trouble.
