Progress Of the Political Canvass in Nevada

VIRGINIA CITY, October 10th. THE
ratification meeting of the Union Re-
publican party, held tonight was a
great success, and called together the
greatest concourse of people ever col
lected in this State. Delegations from
Lyon, Ormsby, Washoe and Douglas
counties attended, and the assemblage
numbered over 1900. Great enthusi-
asm prevailed. Bonfires were lighted
throughout the city, and the various
delegations were received with music
from the bands and the shrill whistles
of all the hoisting-works on the Com
stock lode, from the Caledonia to the
Sierra Nevada. Mr.. DeLong made an
able and eloquent speech. An inter-
esting letter from Senator Jones, re-
GREETING his inability to attend, and
setting forth the reasons for the con-
tinued confidence of the people in the
Republican party, was read and re-
ceived with great applause. All the
speakers We're loudly applauded. Mr..
Sharon was frequently called for, but
owing to a severe cold was unable to
address the people. The meeting ad-
journed with three times three for the
whole Republican ticket.

Water on the Hills.

The Hill Land Waterworks are now
in full tide of successful operation.
The pipes are laid from the reservoir
to Bellevue Terrace, a distance of about
one mile, and the water is passing the
entire length. From this main the
water will be conducted in smaller
pipes wherever it is required on any
part of the high lands. In carrying
out this enterprise, Mr.. BEAUDRY has
added many thousands to the wealth
of our city. The several hundred
acres which these water-works will
render as productive as any portion of
the valley and convert into desirable
homestead property, for years pos
sessed only nominal value and added
nextto nothing to the eity's revenue
To-day this land is worth $500 to 81 500
per acre, and it will continue to in
crease in value from year to year. But
for the pluck, energy and enterprise of
Mr.. BEAUDRY, these, hill lands wouid
have remained as he found them--un-
productive and yaluelessAfor a half
dozen generations, ornuntil they at
tracted the attention of some man or
company possessed of sufficient energy
to force water above the level on
which nature placed it. aside from
the increased wealth and revenue
which these water-works will add to
the city, the number of beautiful and
comfortable homes they will directly
aid in creating, is a matter to excite
the pride and graduation of our citi-
zens. Cheap and desirable building
lots within a few minutes walk of the
very heart of the city are desirable,
and these the enterprise of Mr.. BEAU
DRYlhas placed within the reachof all.

Patrons Of Husbandry.

STOCKTON, October 1.-THE Grange
convened at the usual hour on Friday,
and opened in due form. The greater
part of the session was consumed in
discussing various mooted questions
looking to the welfare of the members
of the Order and the producing classes
generally. The reforms proposed to be
inaugurated and the manner in which
they are to be brought about, were ably
discussed by members from different
parts of the State, the remarks of some
Of the speakers eliciting hearty ap-
plause. One of the gravest matters
with which the Grange has to contend
is the supplying of the deficiency due
vessels chartered and freighted early
in the season, before the decline in
wheat. 1t has been proposed to make
up the deficiency by assessments equi-
tably apportioned among the slibordi-
nate Oranges. This does not meet
with unanimous approval; and the
solution of the question is altogether
problematical. TEh ia r-rrrD

nlIIaLI

The prediction of the HERALD few
days since, that the real leaders of the
Los Angeles and Independence Rail-
road Company were doing more work
and less talk than usually character
ICES the progress of Los Angeles enter
prises, turns out to have not been far
from the mark. The live members of
the company have been atwork devils
ing ways and means, and yesterday it
was decided to take the first direct
steps toward locating the road. F. P.
F. TEMPLE, President of the Company,
directed Engineer. CRAWFORD to pro-
vide himself with a corps of assistants
and commence running preliminary
lines, The party will probably leave
the city tomorrow. 1t seems to be
understood that Cajon Pass is the only
practical route, and it is through and
from that Pass Mr.. CRAWFORD will
run his preliminary lines. The road
may connect with the Southern Pa
cific at or near Cucamongo. Senator
JONES will be in this city in few
weeks, and soon after his arrival the
plan Of operations will assume tangi-
BILE and definite shape. Engineer
CRAWFORD will be able to determine
upon the most available route in q
month or six weeks. President TEN
PIE is alive to the Importance of i'm
mediate and active steps in the way Of
pushing forward this great work, and
he is determined to commence opera
tions at once. ,

Democratic Candidates.

Some days ago the HERALD from its
independent stand point spoke of Sem
ator PHILIP A. Roach, ,seditor Of the
San Francisco Examiner, as one of the
ablest and niest influential menin the
Democratic party of California, and as
the probable candidate of that party
for Governor. Since that item went
forth we have seen articles eulogistic
of Senator ROACH and referring to his
probable candidacy, in the San Fran
cisco Pos, (which has no fixed political
principles, but is everything by turns
and nothing long; the Fresno Eaposi-
tor, Democratic, and the San Francis
co Monitor which, though a religious
journal, frequently touches upon poll
tics and always on the side of the De-
mocracy. No other leading Democrats
have been alluded to in, terms of com-
mendation by their own or other Jour
mails. 1t is we'll known that Senator
WILLIAM IRWIN, of Siskiyou, editor
of the Yreka L,aion would like to
succeed Governor BOOTH, but in con-
sequence of hurts received while
fioundering in the slough of railroad
freights and fares during the last ses-
sion of the Legislature, the Senator is
classed among the lame ducks that
nobody will bet on. He is one OF
those wise owls that twist their heads
off while watching the enemy circling
around their perch. Senator JIM
FARLEY, of Amador, has pictured
himself in the eGubernatorial chair, but
1t is fancy sketch; which the fact
that he voted top pass two railroad sub
sidy bills over Governor HAIGHTs
veto, viii prevent ever assuming the
solidity of reality. Hon. THOMAS
FINDLEY, ex-State Treasurer is men
toned as likely to be before the Detn-
ocratic State Convention for Govern

Railroad Question in Sonora.

The authorities of Guaymas have
publishedsa pamphlet, addressed to all
the the people of Sonora, on the sub
ject of railroads. That they are fully
alive to the Importance of this subject
is evident from the. forcible language
of the address. 1t seems that Messrs.
TRUMAN and BLAIR, the former being
connected with New York banking
house and the latter with strong firm
in San Francisco, had visited Quay
mas for the purpose of looking into the
feasibility of building railroad from
that port to connect with the Texas
and Pacific at some convenient point.
These gentlemen proceeded to the City
of Mexico across the country. If we
may judge from the hearty good will
with which they were received in
Guaymas, we shall not be surprised if
they obtain all the assistance they re-
quire from the Government as soon as
Congress meets. Should their enter
prise prove success, it will give a
new impetus to the Texas and Pacific.
If the Government Of Mexico should
extend a liberal subsidy to that enter
prise, the Government of the United
States could not go back on its own
cherished progressive principles and
refuse the little aid that the Texas and
Pacific Company need. Such an act
would be paramount to saying directly
to Mexico, "We are as near you as we
wish to be-" There could be
no other Interpretation of such
an act, when we understand
that the Texas and Pacific Company
only asks the Government of the
United States to endorse for the pay
ment of the interest on few millions
Of their bonds, and for this little favor
they propose toput up guarantees for
five times the amount. When we
consider the Importance of this great
work and its value to our Govern
ment and people, we doubt if there is
sober thinking man in America (out-
side of politicians and rings who
would not favor granting the assis-
tance required by the Government.
The language of the pamphlet above
alluded to is as applicable to Southern
California as it is to, Sonora. The
following is only paragraph from it:
But we will not stop to demonstrate
the utility of railroads, because that is
SO evident that the most feeble minded
understand it. 1t is a palpable truism,
recognized universally, that nature
was prodigal in forming Mexico.
{ Well, then, let US pass to science and
industry in order that our natural
riches may be unrolled and multi
piled, let us give every kind of protec-
tion to enterprises of utility, and in
exchange for the capital furnished by
enterprise, let us divide. our fertile
lands, our rich mines, our woods and
plains with the managers. In this
manner, all the elements combining,
our population would augment ia
such manner that remote deserts
would be converted into fourishing
cities, commerce would raise itself
from the. decadence and ruin it has
been dragged by public misery < agri-
culture would be raised from its pres
ent low condition, our mines would
produce treasures unheard of as vet,
and finally,the innumerable fountains
of industry buried in our soil would
contribute to augment the products
we should be able to export abroad,
after attending to our own necessities.

A Meeting of the Powers.

CHICAGO, October 14th.-The Times
of this morning says that few days
ago Sidney Dillon and Jay Gould, rep
resenting the Union Pacific Railroad,
met at Denver the representatives of
the Kansas Pacific, and entered into
an agreement to pro rate with the lat
ter road on all passenger and freight
business. The arrangement is to be
good until the decision of the United
States Courts on the question as SUBJ
smitted by the Kansas Pacific. If this
statement is correct, it will have the
effect to break up the so-called Iowa
pool, and will inure greatly to the
benefit of the Chicago and Alton Rail-
way which has through line to
Kearney, and will, tits said, now put
on through trains.
