NEVADA GAZETTE FEBRUARY 24 & 26, 1866 43
Corral, and other placed. One of them is a short, thick-set man, of dark complexion, and supposed to be a
Mexican. The other is a large man, and evidently an American.
TEAMSTER ROBBED.--A teamster, whose name we have not learned, was stopped on Wednesday
last, three or four miles below Grass Valley, on the Colfax road, robbed of his money and one of his
horses killed. He was met by two men wearing masks, who ordered him to stop. He paid no attention to
the demand, but whipped up his horses; the team was soon stopped, however, by the robbers shooting one
of the lead horses, killing the animal dead. The teamster then handed over fifty-two dollars and a half, all
the money he had, when the robbers left him.
DANCING SCHOOL.—The dancing school of Sullivan & Becket, at Temperance Hall, is ina
flourishing condition, and the scholars are making rapid progress in the elegant accomplishment. The
second half of the first term commences this evening, and now is a favorable time for new pupils to enter
the school.
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1866
[List of letters remaining in the Nevada City post office on February 26, 1866.]
THE VETO EXCITEMENT.—The excitement at the East in regard to the President’s veto message
appears to be on the increase, judging by the dispatches. On the 22d, President Johnson made a speech to
a crowd of two thousand persons, in front of the White House. He expressed his determination to carry
out, so far as he was concerned, the reconstruction policy he had adopted. He was interrupted several
times, in the course of his speech, and some of his answers were not very dignified for a man occupying
his position; but the speech throughout shows a rigorous self-reliant mind, that cannot be turned from
its course by vituperation and abuse. The speech of Secretary Seward at the Cooper Institute meeting in
New York, was a full indorsement of the veto message. The meeting was also addressed by Postmaster
General Dennison, Henry J. Raymond, Francis B. Cutting, Daniel S. Dickinson, and George Opdyke,
all of whom sustained the President. The address and resolutions were written by David Dudley Field.
Reports have been telegraphed that Stanton and Harlan intended to resign their positions in the Cabinet,
but they have not done so yet; and if they had intended to leave the Cabinet on account of what has
occurred, it is reasonable to infer that they would have done so before this. The Cabinet were doubtless
divided as to the policy of the message, but those opposing it evidently do not consider it a matter of such
vital importance as to render it necessary that they should retire from the councils of the President.
EARTHQUAKE.—The Contra Costa Gazette says a sharp and distinct shock of an earthquake was
felt in that place on Sunday week, at about four o’clock in the afternoon.
MARRIED. At Cherokee, Nevada county, February 19th, by Moses F. Hoit, J. P., MARTIN BERTH
and Mrs. MATILDA APPOL.
THE LINCOLN ROAD.—The railroad from Sacramento to Lincoln is again open for the
transportation of passengers and freight. We are not aware that any effort is being made to establish a
line of stages for the accommodation of the travel between Lincoln and Nevada, but it is the design of
those interested to secure for their road, if possible, a portion of the freight designed for Grass Valley
and Nevada. With this view, a forwarding house has been established under the charge of C. Holland,
formerly a partner of J. R. Whitney. Mr. H. was in town on Saturday for the purpose of conferring with
our merchants on the subject of the new enterprise. He is well acquainted with the business in which
