II seems as if 0r6ulle is favori,e resort
for burglars. During the past week, sever
nj houses have been entered and articles of
more or Less value stolen. On Saturday
night last, as we learned yesterday, n boot
and shoe store on Montgomery street, just
above Hedges & lannon's banking house.
was entered through n rear window, and al
though nothing Of value was taken away, it
was very evident that the persons who had
visited the house had done so for no honest
purpose, for vial marked "Chioroform,"
that was found lying on the floor. showed
plainly that the intruding party meant 10

was arrested on suspicion of being the one
who on Saturday, purchased the identical
vial referred to above, at the drug store o.

house, failing TO identify the person arrested
as the man who bought the ChloroforTs, h
was discharged from custody.
On Sunday last. four burgarious gentle

A MYSTERY MYsrHIED.- Yesterdays
Erpyess contains q singular story about
certain married lady who arrayed herself in

her husband into Virgin Aley--so named,
because nary virgin ever passed through it
and then and there at the dead hour Of
night watched for and faally discovered a
certain prodigal young gentieman, coming
out Of an i'll reputed house. The Express
man tells this with decidedly Sue ish air

Au Ola idea Rc-vamp ped.

A correspondent Of the Sacramento
Union, writing from Indian Valley,
Plumas county, revives the exploded
idea Of building railroad through the
Nevada Mountains, by following the
course of Feather river, from the Mo-
hawk Ranch TO Oroville. A similar
idea was put forth by an Atlantic jour-
nal some five years ago. Those who
are familiar with Feather river above
Oroville, will at once acknowledge the
utter impracticability Of The route
The same May also be said Of the route
east Of the mountains, and prior to
reaching Bcckwourth's, or Sierra Val
ley, where the route would be up the
Truckee river, We have a slight IA
miliarity with both of these streams,
and the country through which they
pass, and If the Pacific railroad should
be constructed along their banks, we
should prefer taking passage. at least as
far as the Humboldt, on the outside of
mule.
We are firmly inclined to the belief
the most practicable route for railroad
through the mountains, will be found
extending from the Sacramento Valley
to Honey Lake. And wo also moline
to the further belicf that the railroad
extending up the Sacramento Valley
will be the FIRST step eastward towards
connecting the Atlantic With the Pa
cifc by the iron bands of a national
highway.

rhe People vs.. rhs Politicians.

The People W. The Po1iticians.
The time IL fast drawing near when
great and all important cause, must be
adjudged in California, wherein the peo-
pie that is to say--fhe Democracy,
shall be appellants, and the politicians,
who have so long bad their fangs fasten-
ed upon the body corporate, shall be
the respondents. Let this great suit
be properly brought; let the people go
prepared to their high and infallible
court Of redress, the ballot box, and
there can be no doubt of the result.
The politicians, the. "scribes and phari-
sees, hypocrites, they who have as
sumed the dictatorship of the Demo-
cratic party, already stand convicted
of "bargain, sale and corruption" and
it only remains for the real sovereigns
to pass sentence upon them. Califor-
MIA must be rid Of these incubi.
| So long as the General Government
is in the hands Of men, willing to at
tempt forcing fraudulent measure up
on a protesting people, SO long will men
be thrust upon us as Government off,
cials, whose FIRST duty ii is to attempt
the control Of our State politics, and to
force their fellows into high stations.
This state of things we are powerless

and the untramelled voice of the peo-
pie shall effect q change Of affairs at
