There is one thing of which both our
Northern and Western friends may rest
assured and that is, that New York feels
herself bound to provide the cheapest and
best route of communication between the
ocean and the lakes, and that she wat do 1t.
Such being the case, It is scarcely worth
the while of our friends iii Illinois and
Michigan to make sacrifice that they
would find to amount to very many millions
of dollars per anuum, with view to pur-
chase the right to use a rodse to market
that they would never use after they had
purchased it.

SAcRAMENTo CITY, saturday. April IL, 1882.
You will perceive by the papers that the
Wings have made clean sweep at the Charter
Election in this city. | believe this State is
strongly Wing, and would have been so at last
falls election, had ii not been for the quarrel be-
tween T. Is. KING end Judge Crane.
Let Scott be nominated, and this state will
give him her vote by large majority but with
Webster or Fillmore as thG nominee, we are surely
beaten without struggle.
The people are Disguised with the quarrels Of
King and Crane. and will never support either for
any Office of trust in California. Both of their
parties in this city at the last Charter Election
went with the LocO-Focos. The Wings had to
beat the Post Office Department, Custom-House
and all united against them. Yours, KID.
