HARD WINTER-Private letters from
Western New York state that never with
in the "memory of the Oldest inhabitant''
has there been so remarkable o winter as
the one just passed. Snow commenced
falling on the 25th of December, and had
scarcely ceased up to the 1st of April
The ground had not been seen for 90 days
The roads were all blocked up, and the
railroad from Corning to Rochester had
been impossible several days at time
The most untiring e1ertions of paddles
and citizens were not sufficient to keep
the track clear.
The North and South roads, on the first
Of last month were filled with snow from
five to ten feet deep.
We don't want that snow, but would like
to have the melting of it.

CALATHUMPIANs.-A musical entertain
ment was given, free gratis for nothing
without paying cent, to the city, on last
Wednesday night. The band was entire
ly new, which may account for the injudi-
cious selection of instruments The in
fernal discord made night hideous. Chi
nese gongs, cow bells and dinner horns,
don't make the best music as is, on sere-
made at dead of night. There was some
quiet cursing in private apartments, but
as it comes but once year, and was the
last efervescence of Democracy left from
the recent election, the citizens resolved
to grin and bear it with christian fortitude
and resignation.

MAY DAY CELEBRAr1oN-P1 N1c.-The
Methodist Church, south, gave celebra-
ton and pic mic to the Sabbath Scool chill
dren of Nevada, Grass Valley and Rough
and Ready yesterday, which was post
poned on the 1st instant on account of the
weather. The place selected for the meet.
ing of the children was near Camp Springs
on the Grass Valley road.
Never before has that little valley and
grove seen such an array of beauty and SO
many joyous faces. The children were
dressed in holiday garb, with banners and
emblems, and the happiness they expe.
rlenced was shown in gladsome smiles on
their innocent faces, but only truly esti-
mated by those in whose memories lnger
like scenes of long ago. AS we saw the
bevy of little ones of Nevada, march
through the streets in charge of their pas
tor, Rev. w. R. GoBER, we wished we
were boy again to participate in the
events of the day.

FINE ARrs.-Passing the Daguerrean Gal
lery OF mrs. Raymond on Commercial street,
yesterday, our attention was attracted to a
beautiful Photogra ph Of the Convention which
gave to the world the Declaration of Indepen.
dence' It's nearly equal to the fnesq steel
engraving. Mrs. Raymond is, we believe, the
first Amorotypist who has visited our city for
the practice OF the art. We had the pleasure
OF seeing among her collection, the likenesses
OF Webster, Clay, Victoria, Gov. Seymour oil
n T., and numbers of others less known to
fame, besides various pictures of natural seen
cry.

"MIsCoNsTRUCTIoN."- I'm the last num-
Der of the Grass Valley Telegraph a com.
plant is made that we misrepresented
some remarks that were made at Re
publican meeting in Grass Valley. An
Englishman was reported to have said +:
'The Republican party aims to abolish sla.
very throughout the South and if we are no.
strong enough to do it ourselves we will get
Great Britain to help us y
We gave the information as we received
it, from reliable sources if given from per-
sonal knowledge. There was no design
to misrepresent, and had we been friend
of the Republican party we could not
have said less, for we gave the true plank
of the national platform of the party to
show that the Republicans generally did
not entertain such sentiments as the Eng
lishman was reported to have advanced.
If the speech Was made, the maker de-
serves severer castigation than we gave
him. If it was not made, the Republicans
ought to thank us for making public re-
port which goes current as fact, that it
may be corrected.
To show our neighbor that we were not
so badly ''sold" after all, we publish in
another place, communication from a
citizen Of Grass Valley on the subject.

POSTAL REFoRM.-Printed Circu1ars
signed BY Pliny Miles, Secretary of the
N. I. Postal Reform Committee, have
reached US, from which the information is
derived, that the Committee are earnestly
engaged in bringing before the people the
defects OF the present postal arrangements
OF the government, and suggesting and
urging the adoption of cheaper and more
efficient system.
A long address has been prepared and
circulated among the people declaring the
nature of the reforms needed, and the
forms of petitions to Congress are also
widely scattered over the Union to OBJ
tain signatures.
The nature Of the reforms advocated bv
the committee are as follows, extracted
from the blank petitions:
"A uniform postage of two cents on all
letters not exceeding half an ounce in
weight, throughout the United States;
and cheap, uniform rate for printed mat
ter.
Receiving houses and letter carriers in
all cities and towns without extra charge
Money orders, for sums not exceeding
twenty-five dollars, to be drawn by the
principal Post Offices on each other.
A uniform and low rate of ocean post
age, between the United States and For
eign countries.
The postage on all Government docu-
ments, and franked matter, to be paid out
of the Treasury.
The abolition of compulsory prepay
ment and double postage on all mail mat
ter not prepaid.
The return Of all dead letters to the
writer's, and, whenever possible, without
opening"
As California is more largely interested
than any other State in the reduction of
postage and reform in the department
generally, we will recur to this subject
hereafter

OF NEW YORK


election on Monday last was an exotic
Such an election is not indigenous to the
quiet habits of a mountain population. 1t
properly is the spontaneous growth of
such political soil and climate as San Fran
cisco or the five points of New York. Bad
whisky, bad English and bad temper, were
the principal characteristics of the day.
A squad of noisy bipeds surrounded the
polls at an early hour and remained during
the day, to the exclusion of good citizens.
Everything high and low that an enthu-
siastic phalanx physician could swear was
human, was brought up ''to assist in pre-
serving the liberties of the country
County officers in expectation tested their
lungs and Democracy on the occasion with
a blatant zeal which proved them worthy
of the highest seats in the phalanx syna-
gogue. Teams traversed the ultima thules
of the suburbs to pick up men who did
not belong within the corporation and
ought not to have had vote if they did.
What with outside pressure, gallons ofrot
gut, and hard swearing, the phalanxers won
the day.
Among the quiet, orderly, property
holding citizens Of the city there has been
since the election but one universal senti-
mcnt exprcssed-that of disgust. A celtic
horde plundered the citizens of their elec.
tive rights. To judge by the noise made
on both sides, the phalanxers had hun
dred votes to the Americans one. 1t was
remarked that not drunken Know Moth
ing was seen around the polls during the
day
1t was easy to discover early in the day
what the result would be. The inEallible
symptoms Of democracy-broken-Eng
hiccuping aud yelling-were too strong to
put any one at a loss to diagnose.
The thing was 'cut and dried" long in
advance by the phalanxers. The story
that the Americans did their best is sheer
fudge. There was no concert of action
among them. All that had been done by
the American party was to make a nomi-
nation. On the day of election five or six
individuals of the party attempted to stem
the tide, which they saw was likely to
sweep away their rights, but it was too
late. They made desperate effort to
elect David johnson for Marshal, and
came within seven votes Of success, but
johnson had put too many rowdies in the
calaboose to get q vote from any of the
stripe. Good citizens desirous of order,
and not bigoted with so-called Democracy
voted the American ticket, and we assert
it without the fear of successful contradic-
ton, that of all the men within the city
proper, who pay to keep up a city organi-
zation, two-thirds voted for the American
candidate for Marshal. But outsiders
from Rough & Ready, Red Dog, Alpha
Rush creek, and in short from almost every
mining camp in the county, would have
beaten by hard swearing the "oldest man
in the world.''
The following is the result in brief:

ADAMS & Co.'S AFFAIRs-We are informed
that there is still q large amount of indebted
ness in the hands of creditors of the late firm
of Adams & Co. who reside in this county,
whe failed to prove their demands by the first
of this month. All such are interested to learn
that, on Monday last. Judge Hager, at San
Francisco, extended the time for presenting
such demands against the funds in the hands of
G. A. Grant, referee, until the goth day Of May
current. Those not presented by that time
will be forever barred. 1t was ordered that
$4,000 be forthwith distributed and paid to
creditors whose claims may be allowed and as
the Referee was requested to make full report
by the I'd OF June next, holders may expect
to receive their money, for the amount of the
first dividend, (which will probably be about
eight per cent? soon after that date. A second
dividend is expected to be paid at no distant
day.
In addition to the former affidavit, O reason
able excuse must be set forth why the demands
were not presented by the first of May. The
different Express companies in this city have
already forwarded large number of demands,
and are furnished with the necessary forms of
afIidavits, &c. When the demands thus proved,
have been registered by Mr.. Grant, the Referee,
they arc Immediately returned to their owners.
Thus the dividend now obtained is all clear
gain, in as much as the holders are not cut off
from their chance'of collecting the balance, by
accepting what is paid now.

Ba| We extract the following card of
DR.. Dustin from the Sacramento Tribune.
Over his own signature he denies being
connected, or sympathizing with the Re-
publican movement in this State. Sound
to the core on the American issues, he is
anxious that his position may be fairly
understood. The unwarrantable use of
his name in the Republican Convention
recently held in this city, places him in
false position which his card sets right:
NEVADA Co., May 8, 1856.
Mr.. EDITOR II notice in the proceedings
of the Republican State Convention, as given
in the Tribune of the 1st inst, that my name
appears as one of the Delegates from Nevada
county, and l wish to say, through your paper,
that l have yet to attend the first Republican
meeting of any kind in the State and the use
of my name was unwarrantable and without
authority hope it will not be understood
that, because l voted against the Banks reso-
lutions in the Assembly, am disposed to favor
in any manner the Republican movement: on
the contrary am the last person to desire the
agitation of the slavery question in California
expect to use what little influence | NAV
possess in favor of the American party 10 the
coming Presidential election, earnestly hoping
and believing, as do, that the great mass Of
true conservative men throughout the Union
will rally to lthe support of Millard Fillmore
and Andrew Jackson Donelson, as emphati-
cally the embodiment OF genuine conservatism.
