The Nevada City Celebration.
NEVADA, August 5th.-A few citizens of
Nevada resolved to hold a celebration here of
rejoicing over the rapid and steady re.
covery of the President of the Republic
They had but a short time to prepare. While
there was no regular meeting OF citizens, all
generally acquiescsd in the movement, and
to-day was fixed as the date, so as to have
present the First Artillery Regiment from
Camp Brown. Colonel Raymond was &C.
cordingly invited, and accepted for the regi-
ment
Early this morning the people began flock.
ing to Nevada, and by noon the streets were
well filed. All the chief highways were
sprinkled and swept, and public and private
buildings decorated with the national colors.
The troops left Camp Brown at 1:30 P. H.,
and arrived at Nevada at 2 P. NJ. when Cap
tain Houghton's battery fred the Presidents
salute of twenty. one guns The troops then,
after brief rest and stacking of arms on
Broad street, formed in line and marched
through the principal streets. The process
sion was led by the Briga lier commanding,
supported by his staff, mounted. Then came
the First Artillery band, Colonel Raymond
and staff, and the regiment marching by
company front. The Calling battery, fully
horsed, and under command Of Major Nc
Kee, attracted much attention, it being
to the mass of people decided curiosity.
There was no turn out of citizens in the pro-
cession, but the balconies and windows were
filed with people, and the walks crowded
along the line of march. 1t was a gala day
for Nevada City, and the regiment was
warmly complimented for its fine appearance,
notwithstanding it was nearly 100 men short,
they being the 'en and . off guard LETT at
the camp and the men on liberty" Many
leading business houses closed up here this af
ternoon, and nearly the whole population was
out in holiday attire. The procession was
success, the turnout of the people was sue
cess, the decoration of the town was sue
cess but at the conclusion of the procession,
when all expected to go to the armory, an
founding rumor went around that the meet
ing-the heart and soul of the proposed
thauksgiviDg-ha fallen through, and the
affair came down on its hind quarters so fiat
and hard that all of its wits were
Knocked out. 1t appears that a self
constituted committee had gotten up the
affair, had notified and announced the name
of Judge Niles as President of the Day, and
Judges Searls and Dibbe and Mr.. Hupp as
speakers, and had invited the Governorto be
present, and the military. The Governor,
General Stoneman and the military came,
and Albert Hart consented to aid by reading
q poem; but the committee failed to get con-
sent of the President of the Day asd the
speakers before announcing them, or at least
bungled 50 badly, and had so little knowledge
Of the details necessary to such celebration,
that at the last moment it found the gentle
men named not on hand. Judge Niles de-
clared that he could not get the head or tail
Of it, and Judge Searls is much in the same
fix. The military and the people were
here, and did their part, but the
managers proved their incompetence
The facts seem to be that these men got up
the affair without a meeting of citizens, or ask.

who would gladly have aided, they say, and
who are bitter now in denunciation of the
self-sufficient committee and the fact that it
made no provision for the Governor and his
party in the line, but left him on the side

people all he could of military spectacular

6 o'clock the troops returned TO Camp Brown.
