THE lines are getting every day more
endurable. The dull or leaden age has
passed, and the golden has succeeded it.
The look of dependency which of late was
settled on the countenances of every class
OF the community, is replaced by an air
of satisfaction and contentment. Bankers
wear broad grins, and 6loaO all day, mcr-
chants laugh to see their stocks vanish and
money come in, the descendants of Abra-
ham are not so clamorous for "buck-
sheeth, and even the Devil-our Devil
has actually been known to giggle when
contemplating the small coin in our iron
safe of night.

HOLD, NOT SO FAsT.-At a Republican
meeting, recently held in Grass Valley
an Englishman is reported to have said
"the Republican party aims to abolish
slavery throughout the entire South, and
If we are not strong enough to do it our.
selves, we will get Great Britain to help
us"
Run-mad Republicanism appears to be
the kind Grass Valley is afflicted WITH
By reference to the second plank in the
national platform, it will be seen that
Republicans generally discard the idea Of
intermeddling with the domestic institu.
tions of other States. That plank is as
follows:

State with the domestic institutions Of those Of

MAMMOTH REsERvo1R.-Pinc Gro

MAMMOTH RESERVOIR, Grove
Ranch, lying between Hunts and French
Corral, has been purchased by Pollard &
Co. for the purpose of constructing there
on reservoir which, in size and capacity,
will surpass any other in the state.
A bank forty or fifty #. in height is to be
thrown across the narrow gap, through
which the valley in which the ranch is 10.
Gated, has its outlet to the South Yuba.-
The work is already commenced. By
survey it is found that IT'S acres will be
flooded with water when the dam is COM
pleted, and on an average Of ten feet in
depth. A vast amount Of water runs in
Shady Creek during the rainy season,
which the Shady Creek ditch will discharge
into the reservoir, to be used for summer
mining at French Corral, Johnson's and
Blrchville. The reservoir is intended to
supply these places with water. But a
tunnel of great length will be required
through the ridge which divides the ranch
from places to be supplied. Abundant
means and enterprise are enlisted in the
project, and soon we expect to chronicl e
its successful completion.

MAIN STREET BRIDGE.-The bridge at
the foot of Main street is in horrible con-
dition. 1t forcibly reminds us of the man
traps of San Francisco on large scale.
Holes big enough to accommodate man or
beast give variety to the planking, and an
ticipations of excoriated shins and broken
bones to the traveller. Some measures
arenecessary to repair the bridge. Though
holely it still needs to be better.
We understand it is the intention Of
the residents on Main street to undertake
the construction of new and substantial
bridge in the course of the season, on the
present site. In all enterprises for the
public good the citizens on our street have
manifested a commendable spirit of liber-
-ality. The bridge over Gold Run was
built by them last year at a heavy ex-
pense. The county has assisted in the
building of the Pine street bridge and the
one below. If necessary. the same assis-
tance should be rendered to the street
which is travelled as much if not more,
than any.

AMERICAN PLArFoRx.-The Louisville
Journal publishes the following very interes
ting history of the formation of the Platform
OF the American Party, by which it will be
seen that the accusation of its being section
oil affair is not sustained
The Black Republican papers are endeav
oring to make it appear that the Platform
adopted by the American Convention was car.
rled by sectional vote. An analysis of the
vote, published by the Newark Eagle. shows
that the delegations from New Hampshire
Rhode Island, North Carolina, Arkansas. and
illinois were equally divided, one-half voting
for and the other halfagainst the new platform.
OF the IL Massachusetts delegates, 5 voted for
and s against it; of those from New York, 80
for and l against it; of those from Pennsylva.
MIA, l3 for and IA against it; of those from Ma
ryland, for and against it; of those from
Virginia, for and against it; of those from
louisiana, for and 3 against it; of those from
Tennessee, 10 for and 3 against it; of those from
Kentucky, for and against it; of those from
Ohio, for and 19 against it; of those from
Indiana, for and l against it; and those from
Missouri, for and l against it. The delega-
tions from Delaware, Florida, New Jersey.
California, Michigan, Wisconsin, and District
OF Columbia voted for it, and those from Con-
necticut and Iowa against it. Ofthe 125 dele
gates from the free States, 72 voted in the af-
firmative, and SO in the negative; and of the
So from the slave States, &c voted in the affir
native, and % in the Negative. 1t was,
therefore, neither sectional vote nor o sec,
tional triumph, either as regards the candi-
dates or the Platform"

REPUBLICAN County CoNvENrIoN.-
About 60 persons assembled in the Congre-
gational church, on Saturday, to effect a
Republican organization in Nevada Coun-
ty, and send delegates to the State Con-
vention held in Sacramento on Wedncs-
day last. An address appealing strongly
to sectional feelings was read by James
Churchman, Esq, which was adopted and
put in circulation by means of printed
copies already prepared A more argu-
mentative and temperate address would
be productive Of greater effect than the
one adopted by the convention, and we
doubt not those who have the success Of
the Republican cause at heart, will regret
that in the outset, an address appealing
less to the passions had not been adopted
in the stead of the one lately distributed
over the County and State, emanating
from the first Republican Convention
held in Nevada.
Resolutions expressive Of tho sense Of
the Convention were adopted, and full
delegation appointed to the State Con-
yention at Sacramento. Unwarrantable
liberties were taken with the names ofsomc
of our best citizens, among others that Of
DIR. Dustin our late efficient Representa-
tive in the Assembly. We contradict un.
hesitatingly his attachment to Republi-
canism. His Americanism is of the truest
and staunchest kind, and we believe and
know that he will be surprised to learn his
name has been presented for honors in a
Republican gathering.

Cry CHARTER-We publish on the
outside to-day, the special Act to incor-
poratc the City Of Nevada, in full.
Rowdyism has been rampant since the
old organization was declared unconstitu-
tional by the Supreme Court. The au-
thority to suppress it in the future will be
interesting to our readers The Act might,
perhaps, have been more perfect, but such
as it is, it will be esteemed if it but puts
an end to the disgraceful proceedings Of
the last few weeks. If the citizens elect
proper men to administer the city govern
ment on Monday next, quiet will again
prevail among us. The American party
presents good ticket, and if it is not
elected, the times are sadly out of joint.
