Democratic Committee of Placer County


The mountain people are wakeing up TO
the importance of railroads. The citizens o,
Pacerville are about to survey a route from
Folsom to that place; and the citizens of Ne
vada have made arrangements with Mr.. FL
liott, to survey a line from there to Auburn,
to connect with the road from here to Fol
som.
The survey to Folsom has recently been
completed by Mr.. Sherman Day,xwho is at
present at work making up his report, which
will probably b, ready for publication in a
few weeks; in the mean time, we learn, Mr..
Day will send to the Board Of Directors a
synopsis, which we presume will be present
ell to the public. We learn from him that
the route between Auburn and Folsom
proves to lie good one; there being no very
heavy work with the exception Of the first
three miles out of town.
The citizens of Nevada in desiring n con
nection by rail with Auburn, show good judg
ment. We copy the remarks of the Nevada
Democrat this week, upon the subject.

Senatorial.

Since our last issue we have received the
proceedings of the Senatorial Convention
held at Forest Hill, on Saturday last, and
which will be found in to days Herald. 1t
will be noticed that this Convention, like
the Others that have been held in this county,
express their preference for Governor Weller
for United States Senator, to fill the vacancy
occasioned by the death of Mr.. Broderick
AS we remarked last week, 'here are in
dications not to be mistaken" and without
doubt are true guide to our legislators in
voting for United States Senator in caucus
Our people have had ample time to dis
cuss and canvass this question, and to ex-
press themselves understandings in relation
to it. They conceive they have an interest
in the matter, and the right to be heard and
truthfully represented through their repre-
sentatives in the Legislature. And certainly
after the expressions that have been made in
this county in favor of Governor Weller for
the vacant Senatorship, the people will ex-
pect our united delegation in the Legislature
to use their endeavers to secure his election
This would be simply carrying out the wishes
Of a patriotic people, who have entrusted
them with the honor of being their Repre-
senatives. 1t would be simply too, but re-
cogniz:ng the Democratic doctrine of instruc-
ton, as we'll as belief in the intelligence of
the people, so different to the old Federal
dogma, that the people were ignorant and
could not be trusted to decide upon prnci-
pies and measures affecting their interests.
We have confidence that our intelligent rar-
.vvvnrntr,es VIII carry out the wishes CT their
constituency.

DashaWavs.

mr.. EQUOf.-l ne IacI tndt an aSSOcldtlOn
of Dashaways has been organized in this
place, has already been noticed in your
columns, but as the nature and character of
the institution are probably but imperfect'y
if at all understood by the community, you
will confer a favor by inserting the following
statement Of its origin, principles and nten-
tentions:
An association Of Dashaways is simply a
body Of men associated together and orga-
nized into society, having for its sole object,
end and aim, the reclamation of their fellow
men from that great social evil, intemper-
ance. This society differs from other tenn
perance organizations in these particulars:
Its meetings are open to the public, and the
greater the assemblage at their conventions
the better are their OF jects subserved. There
is no display of regalia, or ornament, and
there is no ceremony observed in the admis-
sion of members, save the signing of the
pledge of total abstinence from Intoxicating
drinks. This pledge is different from those
usually administered in other societies.
They, as a general thing, are Of such rigid
and strict character as to deter many from
joining them, especially that class Of persons,
who, from their past faiings, distrust their
ability to resist temptation, and thus shrink
from taking a pledge of perpetual or life
long abstinence. The Dashaway pledge is
for three months; at the expiration of which
term the member may renew bis pledge or
withdraw at his own option. 1t is hop
ed and believed, however, that three
nn,hs of sober reflection should and will
convince any man not only of the advantage
of abstaining from the accused bowl, but Of
the possibility of controlling the appetite
for it.
The following editorial FROM the S. F.
Bulletin, Of Wednesday last, gives an idea
Of the workings Of the institution in that
city and elsewhere:
"The Dashaways celebrated their second
Dlrlll-uaN, ny IhhH, .uIdtitS t"lceu'IIN
meeting, which is to continue through
out January. at noon, and at 7, p. NJ, when
quorum (25,) at least, gather at their hail.
admit new members and take their pledge
This is intended to give the benefit of in
slant sympathy and support to any one who
makes up his mind to be sober, without eav-
ing him a day alone with his good resolu
tons. SO, if workman, arguing with his
brother workmen in the shop during the
morning, brings him up to the pedgng point,
when they 90 for their lunch, or when they
stop work at night they may go mp to the
corner of Sansome and Pine and cimh the
resolution Il abstinence These Dashaways,
who in welve month have grown from
five or six remen up to a membership OF
$500, and vino have their branch societies
in IS Atlantic States, Washington Territory,
Oregon, the Sandwich Islands, and even in
Europe, these earnest, Jealous Dashaways
have their election of officers proceeding all
day to-day. TO their Influence, no doubt.

Court House every Sunday morning, at 10
o'clock. Yours, respectfully,

A QUIET CIIy.-It is remarkable fact
that San Francisco, with population of
over eighty thousand souls, embracing almost
every nation under the sun, has been so quiet
and orderly in the midst of the unusual festivi-
ties just ended, that but two cases of arrests for
any offence more serious than drunkenness
had been made by the police.

Attempted Highway Robbery.

A teamster nemed l. S. Baker, while driv
ing quietly from Todds valley, between sun
down and dark on Saturday last, was inter.
copied in little grove about two miles this
side of the Franklin House, by two highway
men-a Spaniard and an lrishman-who at
tempted to rob him. The hghwaymen APP
peared at the roadside mounted, then dis
mounted, throwing the brides over the pom
mes of their saddles; the Spanard seized Ba
ker's leaders by the head and the lrishman
mounted the wagon, with drawn knife, say
ing to Baker, "You have said that you would
not deliver up your money if stopped on the
road-deliver it now, or, by jabers l will
split your head open" Baker reached for a
dirk knife (about a five inch blade) at his
side, and the Irishman made lunge at him
with his knife. Baker warded off the blow
with his left hand, and, returning the compli-
ment, struck the Irishman with his knife on
the collar bone, the knife turning and CASH
ing his breast. Tho force Of the blow knock
ed the Irishman backward from off the wag-
on Baker Immediately leaped to the ground
after him, but the Irishman having recovered
his feet severe fight ensued, both cutting
with their knives. While so engaged the
Spaniard drew a single barrel pistol on Ba-
ker and attempted to shoot him, but fourth
nately the cap merely exploded. After ex-
changing a number Of thrusts Baker stabbed
the Irisnman in the abdomen, driving his
Knife to the hit. The Irishman staggered
back and calling to his comrade (the Span
lard y said, Jack, I'm ruined; he's killed me,
and dropped his knife. The Spaniard then
hurled stone at Baker, striking him beneath
the arm with such force that he (Baker)
staggered back against his wagon, nearly
senseless and then ran and picked up the
knife, and throwing his arm around the
Irshman, escorted him to the horses, placed
him upon one and taking the bride of the
other in his hand, mounted behind his
comrade and rode off toward the Franklin
House. Baker having recovered from the
effects of the contest then came on to town.
lie escaped with few trivial scratches, but
his clothing was pretty well cut up, receiv,
ing three cuts in the legs Of his pants, one
ia puncture) through his coat on The left side;
several throu h his shirt (the arms) and his
buckskin gloves, and through the knot Of a
comforter which was around his neck. This
was the last thrust given, and the knife be-
inc he'd thereby for a moment probably en-
abIed Baker to make the final stab which
will probably prove mortal to his adversary
The following is Il description of the high
waymen: The Irishman is of medium size
has long, curly red hair; red whiskers, which
cover his entire face, and was dressed in drah
clothing The Spaniard is about 5 10 or l
inches; copper colored; wears a Peruvian
hat secured by a string to his chin, and has
scattering beard of tolerabe length. 1t is
to be ped that they may be arrested and
convicted. Baker deserves credit for the
gallant manner in which he responded to
their demand. UniOn
