why we called his late supper mean affair
As both he and his adviser were ridiculously
supple TO the man they deem SO oPinonated
there is little doubt the card in the last Tele
graph is thoroughly sincere. We don't object
to it n bit-in fact, we rather like to see man
who has the bravery to follow up so bad al
affair as his late supper, by such bad grammar
as his following card. But we viii undeceiNe

09DOsiti0:, STAGES.

Since the first Of January an opposition
stage line has been running upon the route be-
tween this city and Marysyllle, at one-halt the
prices charged by the California Stage Com
pany. previous to the opposition. The price
TO Marysville isnow but four dollars-probably
a fa.t living rate. and no more. The line also
CONNECTS with the Citizens line Of steamers
through to Sacramento and San Francisco
which take passengers at greatly lessened pri-
ces than were charged by the old monopoly
line. The California Stage Company have re-
duced the price to Marysville on their line to
81 in order to break down the opposition
and if they succeed in this will of course remu-
nerate themselves at the public expense as
soon as they get full swing again. We be-
lieve our citizens understand their true inter
ests too well not to pay fair price to the op-
position, and keep it going, rather than to &C
cept ride for nothing for the present, only to
pay double and treble prices by and by, to
balance their present false economy. 1t will
be much better for the California Stage Com
pany to at once set its rates at fair standard
and see if both lines cannot make living
rather than to try selfishly to crowd of the
new line, and get uninterrupted access to the
public purse. A he althy opposition is an e1-
cellent thing for the public and should be sus-
tanned. We were in Marysville few weeks
ago, and registered our name with another
gentlemen at the Stage Office for Nevada. pay
senger came to the hotel to waken passengers,
and just before starting the stage drove up, the
driver called out passengers for Nevada and
drove off, giving no Names and leaving US be-
hind Consequently, We were compelled 70
wait twenty-f6ur hours longer, though in haste
to return. Such neglect would never have oc-
Cured had there been an opposition On the
road. A messenger would have been sent
around half an hour in advance, with passen-
gers names, to have them called III readiness.
When we demonstrated with the agent Oh the
trouble and inconvenience We were put to, be
replied insoently. Being naturally OF cool
temperament, We left the task Of d-n him 10
our companion, who did it heartily.
It will be noticed by reference to tie ad'er-
tisemcnt of the Citizens Line that the propri-
etors contradict the rumor that had been cir
culated concerning them, that they have put
the stock on the road to sell They wish it
"distinctly understood" that they 'are not for

CoMHoH SeHooLs-According to the state
ment Of the Governor, in his late message to
the legislature this State has the most NUM-
| fcent school fund Of any State in the world.
Under the acts of Congress Of September 4th,
l84I. and March Sd, 1853, as estimated in the
report of the Commissioners Of the General
Land Office, this State is entitled to 7,2l2,924
acres of public lands FOR common school pur-
poses. Out of this number there has been al
ready sold, two hundred and thirty-one thou
sand six hundred and eighty acres by the State
at So per acre. The Governor says:
"The unsold lands, if disposed Of at one dol
lar and twenty-five cents per acre, will yield to
the School Fund the sum ofeight million sew
en- hundred and twentysix thousand 500 and
fftv-fre (8.726,555) dollars. At seven per cent,
this sum would Weld an annual interest Of six
hundred and ten thousand eight hundred fl
tv-eight dollars ard eighty-tiye cents (S6l0,-
SIS 85.) To which add thirty-two thousand
four hundred and eighty-six dollars and thirty
seven cents (S32,486 37,) accruing on the
amount derived from sales of land heretofore
made and we have grand total of six hun
dred and forty-three thousand, three hundred
and forty-fve dollars and twenty-five cents
(s643345 22) to be applied annually to the
education of the children Of the State. Such
is the princely legacy awaiting the next and
succeeding generations, unsurpassed by any OF
tie States of the Confedcracy, and perhaps not
eoualed by the endowment OF any throne,
Municipality, or kingdom OF the old world

OMEGA, January 10, 1888.


ED. Journal:
Among the great things "of passing
events was the celebration, in this place,
Of the anniversary of Gen Jackson's great
victory. 1t was proposed by some liberal
Wing and Loco foco Democrats to com
memoyate the day-hy an essay, oration
and music, which call went off " in style
very crcditable to our growing mining
town.
Drs. People and Perkins, were selec,
ted-both good Wing Democrats!-to
act the essayest and orator. The Omega
House was crowded by an attentive audi
ence, numbering some one hundred anc
fifty persons. The occasion was one long
to be remembered first, for the reason
all were highly pleased and satisfied by
the literary productions of our accom-
plished orators, and were stimulated witt
suppressed hurrahs, to glory IN the mem
orv of old Hickory without the aid Of
vile liquors. Secondly, for the reason
that there was a remarkable instance, first
on record, when all parties most harmonl-
ously assembled to do homage to the mem
ory of General jackson, verifying, in nc
small measure, the prediction of Col. Ben
ton that the time would come when all
rood men would commend the deeds of An
drew Jackson's eventful Administration.
These are strange times! Everybody
M here in the mountains are claiming the
name of Democrat. Our geneology can
be legitimately traced without the "pickle''
Of the present administration, and there
fore we call ourselves Wing Democrats.
We now can 'hurrah for General Jack
son :" with good grace. Something in the
political and moral elevation Of this noun
tain air, has Influenced US strongly to res
pect the independent, self acting, man OF
the people Wealthy or redoubtable pol
iticians-friends or foes-no power could
sweryc him from his duty to the people,
Our elevated position enabled US to see
these things in their true light, and feel
most deeply concerned, because we have
