A CoMMENCEMEyT.-E. A. Reid has availed
himself of the provisions of the law disposng of
the 100000 acres of State School lands, by pay
ing to Treasurer Hayburn SIP, being the first
payment on a tract of 320 acres of land in the
Saltwater country. The remainder will not be
required to be paid until such time as the Legis-
lature may determine.
This is the very first instance of the kind that
has occurred in the county. 1t is surprising that
our farmers have been so Indifferent to a law
that will enable them to secure good titles to
their lands at price so low as 81 25 per acre.
By availng themselves of the provisions Of this
law, they will not only benefit themselves, but
aid in enlarging the fund for the support OF

q IMroarASr DECISION. N.n-Under this head lagl

IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN."-Under this head last
week, in alluding to a certain decision of the
Supreme Court touching the powers of Super
visors we incorrectly stated that the District
Court for this county had given the opinion that
the county was bound to pay certain illegal
scrip, " for the that the countys financial
agents, the Board of Supervisors, had allowed
the accounts upon which it was drawn" The
Court only decided that the Board of Supervi-
sors could not, after passing upon warrants al
one meeting, recant what they had said by res
olution of the Board, and that their acts must
be reviewed by certiorari, or restrained by in
junction. 1t did not pass upon the validity of
the warrants at all, as it is expressly stated in
the conclusion of the opinion delivered in the
case, that that question was not before it. We
make this statement in justice to the Court.

A Case of Grim Con.

Sacramento has recently been the scene of a
transaction that has set all the quid- -nuncs and
scandal-mongers in the State on tip-toe. We
regret to say, also, that the transaction, in the
only aspect as yet presented to the public, re-
fleets deep disgrace upon man whom, after
short official intercourse, we had learned to es-
TEEN as an honorable gentleman-upon the
Democracy, who made him one ofther standard
bearers in the last campaign-upon the people
of California, who elected him to high posi-
ton-upon the State, one of whose highest Of
ficers be is.
1t appears that a Mr.. Wand, of Sacramento,
reposing perfect confidence in A. R. Meloney,
house as private boarders After a time he OBJ
served conduct on the part of Mr.. Meloney and
his wife that aroused within his heart the green
eyed monster, Jealousy. He therefore kept
sharp lookout, and one night had his suspicious
converted into certainty by peeping through
small hole in the wall, and seeing his wife and
Mr.. NJ in the act of adultery.
Next morning he procured pistol and fired
at his wife, who screamed as if hit, and then
placing the muzzle of the pistol in his mouth,
pulled trigger. The faithless wife's crnoline
saved her from hurt, and the leather character Of
his head saved him from fatal injury-for we
hold that a man must be leather headed whs
after having the sanctity of his family circle Vi
olated by one in whom hGreposed confidence,
will attempt to kill hmselfand wife without drst
destroying the life of his wronger.
The Controller of State is about so years of
age, has wife and nine children, all of whom
but one son reside in San Joaquin county. He
is old enough to be the father of Mrs Wand, who
is youthful and beautiful, and very weak sis
ter, having proved untrue to her marriage VOWS
once before.
1t is stated in the Bee of the 18th, that Mr..
Meloney will make statement, accompanied by
afldayits made by his son and one of his clerks,
proving him innocent of the terrible charge
made against him. We earnestly hope he may
be able to make such statement.

A Saucy Fellow.

Cornelius Wendell, late Public Printer elected
by Black Republican Congress, now proprietor
of the Washington Union, has been sending
printed circulars to the various Postmasters
throughout the United States-said circulars
stating the necessity of a great central news
paper organ being sustained-that !" it is well
known that the Union is in position to under
stand the views of the Administration, and of
its Democratic friends in Congress"-that the
aid of said Postmasters is solicited in extending
its circulation, and in furnishing such local facts
as they might deem worthy of transmission
One of these circulars fell into the hands of
Placer county Postmaster, who responded as
follows:
Proprietor ofMe Union-DEAR SIR: Your cir
cular has been received, and all have to say is,
that am sorry that my I" active aid is tex
pected' in extending the circulation of the
Union, as such an expectation-owing to certain
peculiar notions which entertain with respect
to what Democratic Central Organ should be
must inevitably be disappointed. will, how
ever, cheerfully inform you, as you request, of
such important facts Ito you at least) as
deem worthy OF transmission" And this | can
do in few words. The cause of the Admins
tration against Douglas, griepe ~ to say is not
very .hourlshlng in these parts. There never
were but two anti-Douglas men in this region,
s7d one of them has gone to Fraser river. While
eother is in such condition of mind as will
render II, in all probability, necessary that he
should be sent to the Insane Asylum at Stock
ton.
Accept the assurances of my distinguished
consideration. Your ob't humble sev't,

Railroad to shasta,

The New Hampshire Ncers, speaking of the
value of railroads, says;
By the increase of railroads, business is in
creased aud ready market is found for what
ever the farmer has to sell. Hence if farmer
has sunk, as he may say hundred dollars or
two OF his surplus earnings in a railroad. the in
creased value of what he has to sell will pay
him good interest on the investment. In the
INTERIOR his woodland near railroad has more
than doubled in value; and the real estate near
the manufacturing villages which are growing
up on our railroads has much of it increased
much more in value.
1t is needless for us to remark that the lam
guage of the Ne,cs has as much application to
this State to New Hampshire. Take the pro-
jected road between this place and Red Bluff as
an instance Say only half million dollars of
the entire cost of the road be expended in Shas-
ia and Tehama counties, for labor, rails, food for
laborers, &C., and who can doubt that it would
infuse into the business of the two counties
degree of vigor unknown here for years. The
flush times of 81, '52 and SO would be upon
US again.
We are clearly of the opinion, if every man In
the county were to subscribe for stock. in this
projected road, to the amount of half his wealth,
that he would thereby, in less than year, rem
der the remaining half as valuable as the whole
was before such subscribing
To illustrate If the owner of building in
this place worth $1,000, were to subscribe for
$500 worth of stock, and thereby to that extent
assist in building a railroad to this town, his
A.
Gus value, or $1,000. So that he would, in fact
in the course of one or two years, realize a
tremendous per centage on the amount invested,
by this increase in the value of his property, and
still own his five hundred dollars worth of
stock in the railroad.
So too with property in every portion of the
county, and especially along the line of the road.
Every acre of land now worth $40, would then
readily sell for double or treble that amount
| Our population would increase two fold before
the road would be completed, thereby creating
greater demand for the products of the farmer,
and securing him better prices than he now OBJ
tains Indeed, the farmers would be profited by
a railroad to a greater extent than any other
class-for, as gain to commence with, his
lands would at once advance to double their
present value.
The miners too would be greatly benefited
By the augmentation of Population, which would
necessarily ensue their claims would rapidly
increase in value, while all manner of articles
which they now obtain through the merchant,
would be lessened in cost.
Indeed, it is impossible to look at this grand
project from any stand point, and not arrive at
the conclusion that it will benefit all kinds OF
| business.
