NcvADA.-An article vi the Trans
cript, Of some weeks back, whic ut the
time we did not see, from the irregular
ity with which we received the paper,
but which accidentally met our eye o
day or two ago, accuses the Journal Of
misrepresenting the condition of Neva-
da, in ascribing to it more prosperity
than it possesses. The Transcript asserts
Nevada to be on the decline, beyond
recovery, on account Of the failure of
quartz operations Whatever the mo-
tive Of the Transcript in desiring to inn
press such an opinion upon the public,
it is entirely mistaken. As the Journal
before remarked, tho gambling saloons
of Nevada are not now much patronized,
and miners are more careful of their
hard-earncd money. Our streets are
not thronged with idlers, but industry
is every where evident. Nevada is in
a healthy and prosperous condition.
Vide, four large hotels on Main street,
and three on Broad street, all doing
we'll, and half dozen others whose bus.
mess we are not familiar with. Besides
this, there are uncounted numbers Of
men who board themselves, and many
families. The theatre Mt Nevada ia
better supported than ever it was before
in the days when the Transcript used
to speak Of Nevada with admiration.
On three nights within a week of this
writing, both the theatre and Lees
Circus were filed with spectators. Mr..
Burlington, the census takcr, informs
US that the census of half Broad street
which he had taken showed 600 people.
The vote Of the whole of Broad street
last year was little rising 800. Main
street is filed with stores doing good
business, and never was more prosperous
Does the Transcript believe US! If not,
come and sec. If il does, we trust to
see no more croaking over our decline "
Our city is not so easily wiped out. The
whole region around us is also springing
to prosperity; Grass Valley itself and
Little York are wonders of enterprise.
Nevada county never stood better for
business or popu alton. We are proud
of our county rs behind none in steady
advance in the State. There is no conn
ty that pays its taxes better than Ne
vada county--ther is none more free
from rowdyism and crime. The SaL
Francisco papers come to Ms stained with
sickening records Of thcfts, murders etc.
till VIC hare almost ceased to copy them
We trust that as Nevada county pursues
its own business quietly that will not be
again mistaken for decline, or its incon-
spicsousness in crime be thought want
of population.

mocratic harmony and enthusiasm y
the party should pray to he delivered
over to discord
Af'er crushing this question the con.
ycntion proceeded with the programme.
and undoubtedly selected very good
delegates.
A resolution was passed recommend
ing J. R. Mcconnell as candidate for the
office Of Supreme Judge. We circulate
the fact because there are few men in
the Loco party who will be aspirants to
the Office, who will gil it better. The
Wings have strong candidate, whom
they will elect, and who is as well quail
fled as any man in the state by his
great legal experience and proLity of
character, for this responsible station
But we do not believe the Democrats are
able to pick from their crowd of Office
holders and seekers, q better candi-
date than Mcconnell.
In conclusion we simply state the
convention endorsed ''the general course"
Of the governor and legislature, with
their cordial APPRECIATION" in which
they exhibited q zeal not shared by
their brethren elsewhere, and exhibited
much keenness of perception in detect
ing " beauties on brow of Egypt"

SHooriNG.-The reckless use of firearms
is getting too fashionable. A ball from a
pistol was lodged in our Office en- Thursday
last, within few feet of several individuals.
Pistol reports are the principal music some
persons indulge in it is pity they can't
play on their instrument without putting
deadly charges in it. Drawing pistols on
slight disputes in the streets is not infrcqut mt
and on Thursday evening last one was
drawn in the crowded theatre. Such practi.
ces should be vigorously put down.

SPEcIMEN.-A lump of gold and quartz
was brought into town this week, taken out
Of the Minnesota Digging. near Kanaka
Creek, weighing seventeen ounds-contain-
ing thirteen pounds of pure gold. 1t was
taken out by two men who had paid two
days previously $500 for the claims. They
were Cffcrcd and refused S2500 for the spe-
cimen. They averaged five onzas each be-
sides the lump during their work per day.

THE FOURTH.

Ahc BioriouS anniversary oI our na-
tional independence-that occasion so
suggestive Of high thoughts and warm
emotions to every American-was cele-
brated in various parts OF the State
with much enthusiasm. At San Fran
cisco and Sacramento the proceedings
were most interesting, the prominent
features being civic and military pro-
cessions, orations, etc.
Nevada is not generally behind in
such matters, and we regret we have
no celebration to record for this ami.
versary.
At Grass Valley the exercises were
conducted with much taste and spirit
A procession of citizens, preceded by an
excellent band, proceeded to grove
about half a mile from town, and there
listened to the Declaration, which was
we'll read by Mr.. J. S. Carpenter; and
an address by Rev. MIR. Balm, which VIC
do not believe was surpassed by any de-
livered on the day in the state. We
have notes before US Of this most admi-
rable effort. but can give but the mer..
est abstract. The speaker dw,lt upon
the wondrous spectacle Of American
progress since the revolution, our exten.

Union.
He also dwslt on the safeguards of our
liberty, that intelligence should be diff
fused, that virtue should be iaculcated,
that representatives should be held
strictly accountable for their acts to
their constituents-th retention of all
power by the people not required by
the government-an abandonment Of
the ideal Of national greatness as held
in the old world, and the cultivation of
unity and fraternity in the different Sec
tions of our county. The glorious
achievements of our forefathers were
confined to no section but hallowed all.
The hardy north, the sunny south, Tren-
ton. Monmouth.an hundred battle fields
had witnessed their struggles for COM
mon liberty and by every glorious re-
msmbrance, the citizens Of the Union
should cherish amity and concord to
preserve entire that Union which had
been the pledge and instrument Of lib
erty to ourselves and the world.
The exercises Of the day were highly
interesting, and we doubt not, will be q
bright lux to those present in that
chain of memory which is ever being
forged through life. Such reunions
can but give u higher tone to patriotism,
and more definite appreciation Of their
privileges to tnoso who unite in them.
