AN EXCURSION PRorosEp.- Hon. Creed
Raymond is announced to discuss the po-
litical issues of the day at mass meeting
al Newcastle, Placer county, next Monday
evening. A general desire has been ey-
pressed by Republicans in Sacramento that
an evening excursion from this city should
he got up on that occasion that some, or
all, of the Blaine and Logan Clubs of this
city might attend and join their neighbors
in the Republican rally at Newcastle. But
demonstration has been planned for the
same evening in this city by the uniformed
Clubs, on the occasion Of the mass meeting
to be addressed by Hon. Grove L. Johnson.
Mr.. Johnson, on being consulted, expressed
his willingness to yield his evening and
join in the scheme for an excursion and
several of the club and party officials sig
niied their cordial consent. 1t has been
found, however, that postponement would
now be difficult and very inconvenient.
Thereupon the Central Committee of Placer
county was addressed and it consented,
through Chairman Stevens, to fix upon
Wednesday evening, October 22d, for the
Newcastle meeting, by consent of Mr.. Hay
mond, provided the Sacramento Clubs
would come up into the foothills fruit
region. The matter is now dependent
wholly upon the arrangement OF transport
alton, and if this can be successfully Sc
cured, so as to insure a good turnout, the
Clubs will be asked to join in the move
ment. 1t will probably be definitely deter
mined to-day whether the scheme can be
carried out OF not.
ROAD MATTERs.-There seems to be

the ground that they were old-time roads
and had been illegally fenced up. Mr..
Cardwcll claims that the whole grant was
full of roads and trails in early times, rs an
open country, but that the Mississippi Bar
road has been fenced up for fifteen years,
and the county has no right to claim it nor
Greenback lane as public roads. He says
he has given two roads through his prop
~ o,,J f.noal tI,oi,.
thinks he should have compensation as re-
CARDS the roads now ordered opened. He
says he Will be damaged by the opening of
these roads about 81 800, but has offered to
take 5000 rather than have trouble. AS the
Supervisors refused to accept his offer, he
now intends to fight the matter in the
Courts, and will have any one interfering
with his gates arrested for trespaSs and ma
licious mischief
