About an hundred delegates to the Republican

the chances of success extremely good in the

A STAB.-The Sacramento Union
gives our railroad project another
stab. Perhaps it was done unwittingly.
we hope it was. But it ought to
quote us correctly. We object to be-
ing made a party to the attempted
fratricide by the blunder Of that
sheet. Let Nevada have justice done
her. That is all we ask from a pa
per which derives large amount of
patronage from our citizens. We de-
mand it.
The Union of Monday, speaking of
our railroad project used the following
language. The italics are ours:
A survey las been made and prac-
ticable grade of not over eighty feet
to the mile reported. No doubt seems
10 exist as to the practicability of
building road. # the means can be
commanded. The subscriptions to
make the survey do not appear to have
been so promptly paid as was expect
ed, as the Journal calls upon Grass
Valley to pay up the amount calcula-
ted upon from that town.
1t would be difficult to stab a prof
ect more adroitly than is done in the
above paragraph: Doubt seems to be
thrown upon the ability of the COM
pany or the county to procure means
to build a railroad in this direction
But worse than all the onion goes oat
of its way to misquote us. We never
called upon Grass Valley to pay a
cent. We.merely mentioned the fact
that Grass Valley had not shelled out
as expected. We did so to acquaint
our own citizens that a good chance
was open to give evidence of their
liberality. For our own part we new
er expected or desired Grass Valley
to pay a dollar.
The Union, after looking awry npor
the railroad ente.prlze to this place.
turns upon its darling scheme, the
road to Placerville. and ends as fol-
lows:
Provision has also been made by
the people of Placerville to have a
railroad route surveyed from Folsom
to that mountain city, and an engineer
has been employed to perform the
work. 1t is believed that practical
bic line can be found upon which a
road to Placerville could be built for
about million of dollars.
cit is 6eliered that practicable
line can be found to Placerville "
There is no eff" about the means
being commanded on the old route, of
course. If a practicable line to Pla-
cervllle is reported it will be so.

ed, and is probably presiding over the
deliberations of .he House at this

lar body of Congress organized and

sent to Washington. These squabbles

CAUTION 10 MEN WITH THE SILVER

CAUTION TO MEN WITH THE SILVER
FEvER.-The Bulletin, Sac. Union,
Sac. Standard, and other papers are
giving good advice to those in otr
midst feverish for Silverlasd. The
advice is needed all over the State.
Few reflect that in no country can
all be fortunate. Rich as the widest
imagination may conceive the Washoe
region to be, it will be found to farn-
ish only disappointment to nine out
of ten who go there with the expec-
tation of making a pile. This wild
rush. which certain indications give
proof will shortly ensue is bound to
be injurious; first, to large majority
who go, and second, to those who re-
main behind. Those who go will
generally come back strapped to live
off their old friends. while the money
carried out of the country by the
former will injure business to such an
extent that the latter can scarcely af-
ford the expense
IT is said the President has ordered
fifteen thousand muskets from the
Springfield, 1ass.. armory, to Charles
ton, S. c., Augusta, Ga, Baton
Rouge, La; and nine thousand rifles
from other Northern armories for
Southern use. The President is prob
ably in league with the seccssionists
who declare if any body but disun-
ionist is elected President they will
have their own way if they have to
slay fifteen milliors of Yankees.
