546 NOVEMBER 14, 1865 NEVADA GAZETTE
ideas—those who supported the Government in the war against rebellion, and those who upheld the
rebellion and opposed the Government—all claim to be Democrats; and even if there were enough of all
combined to carry a State, they cannot be brought into the traces to act together. In New York the war
Democrats obtained control of the organization and the result was that the rebel Democrats would not
support the ticket... . The same state of affairs existed, to a greater or less extent, in other Eastern States,
and will continue to exist for many years to come; and those who imagine that the Democracy, or any
party claiming the name, is soon to return to power, either in the Nation or any considerable number at the
states, are the victims of a delusion.
BORN. In this city, November 13th, to the wife of Ed. Muller—a daughter.
PROPOSED WAGON ROAD.—We learn that a movement is on foot to construct a wagon road
from Downieville connecting with the Henness Pass Turnpike at a point on the ridge between
Fred’s Ranch and Cornish’s. A road upon a good grade leading from Downieville to the point
indicated, would be vastly beneficial to the citizens of this place and Sierra Valley, as well
as diminish the distance between the two places at least one day for loaded wagons. Another
consequence of the road will be to bring the traveling public one day nearer to San Francisco,
for we think nothing is surer than that it will be the means of opening a line of conveyance for
passengers between this place and Colfax, reducing the stage travel to forty-eight miles, in place
of about ninety-two—the distance to Lincoln—(Downieville Messenger.
THIEVING.—A cool piece of villainy was perpetrated at the Brighton House, near the New York
Hill lead, on Thursday last. Some thief entered the rooms occupied by Walter Pascovy and Jack—the
former a blacksmith of the New York Hill Mine, and the latter engineer of the same. They had clothes and
money in their valises, which were hanging up against the wall. While they were at work at the mine, the
larceny was committed. Pascovy lost thirty-eight sovereigns, three twenties, a five and a two-and-a-half
piece. Jack lost three hundred and fifty dollars in greenbacks, which had recently been paid him at par by
some debtor in Washoe. The robbery must have been done by some one well acquainted with the premises
and whose presence in the hotel would not be noticed, as he moved around in the day-time.
CABIN ROBBED.—The cabin of Jack Quigley, on Cayote street, opposite the Catholic Church,
was broken open sometime last week and a considerable quantity of clothing, blankets, etc., belonging
to the occupant, stolen. Quigly [sic] had been absent several days at You Bet, and returned on Saturday
evening, when he found the cabin door had been unlocked, and the things stolen. He had about a hundred
and fifty pounds of flour in the cabin, and other provisions and groceries, which were not disturbed.
CORRECTION.—We stated yesterday that the delinquent tax list would be delivered over to the
District Attorney on Wednesday, and that five per cent. additional would be added to taxes remaining
unpaid after to-day. In this we had been wrongly informed. Mr. Davenport, the Collector, informs us that
the delinquent list will be given to the District Attorney next Monday, and that parties owing taxes will
have until Saturday evening next to pay up, before the percentage will be added.
COUNTY COURT.—The following business was transacted in this Court yesterday:
E. Babb vs Sale & Canaro—Tried and submitted.
D. Prescott vs. Thomas Bridges—Tried and submitted.
William Moore—Indicted for petit larceny, plead guilty; ordered to appear for sentence this morning.
Chauncey Tyrrill [sic]—Indicted for petit larceny, plead guilty, and ordered to appear for sentence this
morning.
