Need of Railroads In California.

The San Francisco Globe contains the fol.
lowing sensible article on the subject of rail-
roads in this State That they are the ''one
thing needful" to complete our greatness
and prosperity, their influence on the growth
of our sister States, gives abundant evil
dence Says the Globe
"I1 the year 1850, before this completion
of its railway system, the State of Ohio had
an aggregate amount of taxable property
rated at S439 o97 $40. and in the year 1856,
after the completion of the system, the value
of the same description OF property is set
down at 1869 ,S77 ,354
But few days since. we gave the same
prosperous statistics of Illinois. When shall
we add California In no State in the Un-
ion could railways be made more profitable
than here, or command higher rates for both
freight and passengers A quick and con-
venent communication with the interior,
would quadruple the business OF our own
city, and give fresh impulse to every de-
partment of trade and labor. California has
ceased to be a land for mere temporary so.
journ; and now with a legitimate popula-
ton, important agricultural interests, and a
soil unsurpassed for mineral wealth, it re-
quires but the aid of it's citizens to place it
foremost in the ranks Of progress"

THE THEATRE last night was well attend
ed. The Lady of Lyons was played, Miss
Potter sustaining the character of Pauline,
and Mr.. Brown that of Claude Menotte,
and the play has rarely been put in better
hands, Indeed Miss Potter's Pauline is one
of her very best characters, and one to which
she possesses the faculty of admirably adapt
ing herself. Messrs Mitchell aud Mortimer
did credit to themselves, as did Mr. Davis in
the character of Mons. Deschappelles, and
as Widow Melnotle, Mrs Hunt was perfectly
at home. Dumphries played CLAWS, but
isn't "made up" right for the character
but as John Thomas in "That Blessed Baby"
he was himself again, and as funny as ever.
The plays for tonight are The Stranger and
the IrishLion. Mr.. Morris requests us to
state that he has made arrangements to
warm the Theaere tonight, and in future
during the cold weather.

The Senatorial Election.

As heartily as the Bulletin and its satel-
lites fear and hate Messrs. Broderick and
McCorkle, they seem to be convinced at
length those gentlemen will receive ma
jority of the votes of the present Legisla-
ture, and that too, Independent of eny COM
binations. We want no better evidence Of
the strength of our favorites than the con.
ceded opinions of their enemies Of the lkeli-
hood of their election. 1t seems to be the
universal opinion of those who pretend to
know, that the momentous question will be
decided sometime during the present week :;
perhaps to-day the Legislature will choose
the men who are to represent US in the Uni
ted States Senate. From the manifest dis
position of both houses of the Legislature to
expedite affairs, we feel doubly assured that
no unnecessary delay will be made in tran
sacting this, the most important business of
the session. On Wednesday the Senate pass
ed o resolution which was concurred in by
the Assembly, fixing to-day for assembling
in Joint Convention, and if Messrs. Broder-
ick and McCorkle occupy as favorable posi-
tion in the minds of our State representa-
tives as we are confident they do, we should
not be much surprised if our Monday issue
were to chronicle the gratifying intelligence
that this matter, so long a source of dispute
and so fruitful theme for editors and COR
respondents, will be determined. Brodericll
and McCorkle are our choice, but if in their
wisdom the Democracy select any other two
unwavering Democrats" we shall not feel
it our mournful duty" to bolt the glorious
Cause, and seek after strange Gods.

THE GAMBLING ACr.-The Sacramento

the decision of Chief Justice Murray in the
case Of the People VS.. Markham, for dealing
banking game of cards. The judge deci-
ded that under the provisions of the 460th
section of the Criminal Practice Act, per-
sons fined for the crime of gambling contra
ry to law, could be imprisoned upon the nom
payment of the fine. In regard to this point
in the case, the judge said:
"The law has fixed the fine, viz ten days
for each one hundred dollars, and, as it does
not yet appear that the prisoner has been
in custody for ten days, he must be remand
ed until the payment of the fine, or the ex-

Topics Of the Day.

AS we predicted awhile since, the
the Navigation Company have aban-
doned the project of clearing Feather
River of its distractions, and left US
just as far from being 'steamboated'
as when they began their sham opera
tions. They expected big fee from
our citizens, but failing in their OBJ
ject, took their wares to what they
considered a better market. They
told us in the outset that the river
was perfectly navigable, or at any
rate could be easily made SO, but
after deal of backing and filling
concluded to give it up as q bad job.
Certainly the trade Of Oroville would
support steamboat, and if the river
can be navigated, why don't they
come to see US ? Our conclusion may
be incorrect, but we suspect that the
merchants of Marysville were the
biggest snag in the way of navigation
toward Oroville. Marysville is a
"rifile" the steamboats, couldn't
make.
But the river should be cleared;
we should have a steamboat, and as
the river won't clear itself and
steamboats, don't grow, the river
ought to be declared navigable by
act Of Legislature and the right to
navigate it guaranteed to an individ-
ual or or company, with such pro-
visions as should make it binding on
the holder or holders of such privil-
ege to proceed at once to put the
river in navigable condition.
There are plenty of steamboats,
0ther than those owned by the Steam
boat Company that could be pur-
chased, or at any rate a plenty of
material to build of, and with the
river rendered navigable, our busi-
ness men could certainly not be so
blinded to their own interests as not
to be willing to invest their money
in providing themselves with such a
means of transit as would enable
them to complete successfully with
the merchants of the Valley. Let
the Navigation Company 60 to the
dickens, we can get along without
their aid if we will but use the
means we are provided with.
