The Great Tunnel.

The cutting of the tunnel through tho
crest OF the Sierra Nevada mountain chain;
has generally been looked upon as a thres
years job, but tho enterprising Calforni-
ans made tho attack at both ends, and then
sunk shaft in the middle down to the
level of the grade, and worked both ways.
ihs total length is sixteen hundred feet;
cut through solid rock. Operations were
begun IN September, and since last June
the rate of progress has been nearly forty
feet per week. The 18th instant is the date
fixed for the passage Of the first looomo-
two. Tho rails are now being laid on the
easterly slope, where twenty miles of the
road is graded. II is confidently expected
that the road will be completed to tie Ne;
vada line by September next, and there are
no serious obstacles to overcome for many
miles beyond. The Californians feel sure Of
reaching Salt Lake before the ea0tern di:
vision OF the great work gets there.

IDAHO LEGIsLATURE.-The members of the
Idaho Legislature recently voted themselves
extra paw, and Governor Ballard vetoed the
bill, whereupon he was denounced in the
most vehement manner. A few days after
wards Hewlett, Secretary of the Territory,
announced that the members would have to
take the oath prescribed by Congress before
receiving Government pay. This announce
ment created perfect storm of wrath
Members waited upon the Secretary, and
threatened him with personal violence unless
he paid them at once. A caucus was held
in the Assembly Hall, and speeches made
denouncing the Secretary. Some were In
favor of compelling him to pay them by
force: others wanted to drive him out OF
town. Hewlett, accompanied by the United
States Marshal, and guard. repaired to the
Hall and read the instructions under which
he was acting which was nothing more nor
less than a positive order from Secretary
Seward not to pay the members unless they
took the oath required by law. On finishing
the reading of his instructions, crowd of
members made rush for the Secretary, but
he was rescued from the mob without injury.
The members finally agreed to take the OATH
and received their pay.

THE VAGRANT GAMBLERS case of one
of the gamblers indicted as vagrants came up
before Justice Jecko on Saturday. Six jury
men were brought in. The counsel for the
defendant demanded 10 see the law requiring
jury of six men to try his client. The
General Statutes" were searched, aad a
great many contradictory and conflicting q
laws found. and finally the case was laid
over for six days to see what would turn up.
If convicted, the gamblers will be sold to the
highest bidder and if the purchaser is able
to :" stake" his slave. he may make a good
speculation by setting him up as a tiger. y
We are informed that O'Benis bought a
gambler, about twenty years ago. at sale OF
vagrants. and has been supporting him ever
since. He paid twenty five cents for the
man, and never got the worth of his money
out of him; The present lot, however, is

SENATOR CoNNEss.-This gentleman is thus
complimented by the Santa Cruz Times. The
editors head is eminently level:
John Conness has not only proven himself
a worthy organ of the interests of the State
of California, but an unfinching, uncompro-
missing advocate of all Union measures, thus
winning the confidence and esteem of the
Union people of the nation, and is condemned
by none but the Copperhead press. Mr..
Conness requires no defense from our pen.
His record is as pure as any Senator's that
ever walked the floor of the United States
Senate chamber In intellectual worth he
has few superors in moral, none and in
patriotism his record is spotless. =
There is not single Union Journal in this
State but what speaks with respect and pride
of Senator Conness and if the creature who
edits the threadbare sheet to which we allude,
Santa Cruz Sentinel, expects to gain popu-
larity by abusing the distinguished gentle
man. he is much mistaken. We have always
regarded him as not only good but a capa
BILE man and now, after his few years. Sen

BRIDGEs.-Bridges are just what we want
in this county-and free bridges at that. The
inhabitants of the fine agricultural districts
on the east side of the river are prevented
visiting the county seat for three or four
months in every year for want of bridges,
and general stagnation of business In
Shasta is the consequence. Now, why should
we not have bridges and why should not the
people own them and keep them in repair,
that they may lie matter of convenience to
all, rich and poor, and source of wealth to
the town? Toll roads, and toll bridges, and
toll ferries are well enough for the owners,
but instead of being a source of wealth to the
town or county, are simply a means by which
the people are impoverished. Let the county
build free bridges and free roads, and good
ones, so that easy and free access to the town
may be had at all times, and by every citi
zen, and an improvement upon the present
state of things will be noticeable even to the
most thick headed.

Women Voting In New Jersey.

The New York Tribune recently had an
article under the above caption, from which
we qnote:
During the debate in the Senate, a few
days ago on Mr. Cowan's amendment to
strike out the word male in the Franchise
Bill for the District of Columbia, inquiry
was made of Mr. Frelinghuysen whether
women ever voted in New Jersey? His
reply admitted that they once did so in
local elections But the fact is that, for
many years, women were recognized there
as voters on precisely the same terms as
men. Lucy Stone and ii. b. Blackwell
citizens of New Jersey, have made an in
vestigation, the result of which is remarkable
and proves that previously to l776 only men
voted, but that, in l176, the original State
Constitution conferred the franchise on all
Inhabitants linen or women. white or black
possessing the prescribed qualification of ESQ
clear estate and twelve months residence,
and this Constitution remained in force
until 1874. In 1870 the Legislature, in an
act regulating elections. used the words he
or She in reference to voters In 1877,
another act relative to elections repeatedly
designates the voters as he or She In the
same year, 1871, seventy five women voted
in Elizabeth town for the Federal candidate.
In 1900 women generally voted throughout
the State in the Presidential contest between
Jefferson and Adams. In 1902 a member
of the Legislature from Hunterdon county
was actually elected, by the votes of two or
three women of color. In 1907 at local
election in Essex County for the location of
the county seat men and women generally
participated. and were jointly implicated in
very extensive frauds. In the following win
ter of 1907 8, the Legislature, in violation of
the terms of the Constitution, passed an act
restricting suffrage, white, male adult cit
liens, and in reference to these virtually
abolished the property qualifications of ESQ
thus extending it to all white male taxpayers,
while excluding all women and negroes.-
In 1920, the same provisions were repeated
and remained unchanged until the adoption
of the present Constitution in 1914.
at thus appears that women and negroes
possessed an6 exercised the right unquestion-
ed under the Constitution of New Jersey
from 1776 to 1907. thirty one years, and
that from 1907 until 1914 they possessed the
right, but were arbitrarily deprived of its
exercise, thirty seven years more. This is,
we believe, fact unparalleled in the political
history of the world and was probably due
to the strong Quaker influence in West
Jersey, then as usual, exerted in behalf of
equal rights. New Jersey enjoys, we be-
lieve, the distinction of having been the first
which conferred upon all its citizens equal
political privileges, without restriction of sex
Or color.

THE RoADs.-The roads in this and ad-
joining counties are represented as being in
a horrible condition. The Yreka Journal
thinks there will be no teaming on either the
Scott Mountain or Sacramento river roads
before spring, and the Weaverville and Tower
road is in no condition for freight or travel
The stage road from the Four Mile House to
the Canon House is perfect jelly of mud
and slush, and literally has no bottom. The
Millville and Oak Run road is almost impass
able, owing to the mirey and washed condi-
tion in which the floods left it. Isaac Bloom
field reports the roads in Fall River. Birney,
and Pit River valleys to be badly washed,
and many of the streams swimming. The
road from this place to the Tower House is in

CoRRALED.-A rancher residing on Still
water, in this county, awoke one morning.
during the recent freshet, and found that the
water had raised to within few inches of
the mattrass upon which he was lying. On
reaching the window he looked out, and le-
held perfect sea of water on every side,
and of such depth as to preclude the idea of
reaching dry land, which discovery served to
render his situation more unpleasant, as be
was unable to swim. The water remained
up for several days, but, fortunately for the
rancher, a neighbor happened to pass that
way on the following evening" and by swim.

rescuing the water bound prisoner, and

WHISKY CREEK LEDGEs.-E. F. Crocker,
who has spent considerable time and money
in quartz operations, and whose experience
entities him opinions to consideration, thinks
that the quartz lodges on Whisky Greek show
more evidence of richness and permanency,
according to the quantity of work done upon
them, than any other series of lodges he has
examined in the county-and he has pros
peeted both at Copper City and South Fork.
The Whisky Creek lodges are generally very
wide, well defined, and good prospects, in
free gold, has been obtained from the top to
the bottom of every shaft sunk on them.
