Really, it is hard indeed to have witnessed,

No Double Salaries. BY the 9Th section Of
an act passed May 8, 1892, it is enacted ssthat

Government, or sickness" of the heads of De.
partments, or Of any officer of the Departments.
whose appointment is not in the head thereof,
sit shall be lawful for the President of the
United States, in case he shall think it neces.
sary, to authorize any person, or persons, at
his discretion, to perform the duties of said re-
spective Offices until successor be appointed,
or until such absence or inability by sickness
shall cease" 1t is held that, though former

whs was appointed temporarily to discharge
the duties Of another Office, under the circum-
stances quoted, claimed and was allowed the
pay of both, yet that paying two officers each
the full salary for filling the same office, or
one officer the salaries of two Offices, for dis
charging the duties of both, is not sanctione ed
by law, and is in fact directly in conflict with
law, since the act Of September 80, 1850, which
provides "that hereafter the proper accounting

the United States, shall, in no case, allow and
pay to one individual the salaries of two diff.

And for once, an opportunity is offered for an
honorable and constitutional rivalry between ths
free and majority, not all, of the Slaveholding
States. Every State north of Mason & Dixon $
line, with Kentucky and Missouri and the entlre+
Pacific coast, should be united on Northern
route, and thus command, on that subject, an
overwhelming preponderance in the National
Councils. And that Senator or Representative
from the North, who shall lend his influence or
give his vote against it should be branded for all
time. This is question on which the North
has right to assert her numerical superiority
it is the question of tho commercial supremacy
of the Union. The South has already an almost
unbroken line of railway from Charleston to
Memphis via Augusta, Ga, thence to the line
of Alabama, thence to Nashville, Tenn, and so
on to the " father of waters" Make the ella

A PACIFIC RAILROAD.
SAN FRANclsoo, October Both, 10

SAN FRANClsoo, October Both, 1854.
EDITOR FREEMAN IL other demands upon
your columns will permit it, please give place to
a few suggestions touching the subject of a Pa
ci6c Railroad, and its bearing upon the interests
Of this city.
The grand desideratum-the great financial
necessity-in the future Of California and San
Francisco, isa Pacific Railroad. And it must
be q Northern road, terminating at this point.
A Southern route would be ruinous, almost, to
the interests oil this city. TO talk Of continuing
a line RAINING through Texas across the Gads-
den desert to San Francisco, is rreposterous 1t
woald never reach here The country beyond
the boundary Of Texas, thro' which Railroad
would pass, Is miserable in an agricultural point
OF view. The westernns terminus on that route
would necessarily be cuaymas, for there is NO
sufficient depth ofwater for a good harbor north
Iof thatToint, Thus the road would terminate
lin foreign country, or another sIic, of land be

Japan, beside thcimmensc throngs Of passenger
whose reception here would form one of he
greatest sources of wealth and prosperity. An,
the inevitable effect would be disastrous to tn
last degree, or ut least would reduce her to
secondary rank.
California, and Oregon and Washington ter
rltories, On this side the Northern Andes, an,
the Northwestern, Middle and Eastern State
must be unitcd upon a Northern route.
The entire feasibility of road from the Mis-
sssipp to Salt Lake has long been amply dem
onstrated, and the recent survey of Lieut.. Beck
with, which. | believe, is the completion of tn
one commenced by the gifted and amentcd Gun
nison, proves the same as clearly with regard t.
the country west OF that point. This route ha

A TALK WITH OUR PATRONS.

The amount OF our subscriptions for the past
year, even after deducting the loss on exchan-
ges, and on the probable two or three hundred
poor subscribers on our list, is more than $4,000.
Our receipts since the lst Of Jasiuary, 1854, up
to last Saturday night amounted to $l499,36,
or just 81 cents less than one half that sum,
leaving the other half Of our whole sollectable
Subscription dues for the year still unpaid at
tho beginning of this last month Of the year.
We pay out in cash, for paper, work, &C., over
$4,000, as the smallest possible expense of pub
Fishing our paper, leaving us minus, as the case
now stands, nearly $500, in the amount actually
paid out in carrying on our establishment, to
say nothing Of the great and vastly increased
expense Of supporting family depending on
our labors We make this statement that those
of our subscribers who have not paid for their
papers the past year, may see for Themselves
where their cruel negligence as.nlaGsdkus But
it is not too late to rensdnu which,
though unhecdingly ,ws bsSe aeta y,

is not, probably, within the means of all Of them
to send us at once the $1,000 for which we pro-
posed to enter their discharge up to the end of
