TnE CALIFORNIA COMPETING LINES Since
the stoppage Of the tIaasit the lsthlaus Of
Nicaragua by Walkers seizure Of the boats of
that line, the Panama Railroad Company has had
monopoly of the trade to The Pacific for the
enjoyment of which they had only to pay, it Is
said. comparatively small sum to rival Com
modose to secure his neutrality. 1t has been
also charged that they have expended considera-
bic sums in attempts to prevent the re-opening Of
the Nicaragua line. This may, however, be moth
ing but Wall street talk. Immensely valuable as
this monopoly has been, however, it has had its
day The Nicaragua route is to be re-opened by
the sailing Of the steamship Washington from
this port on Saturday, the 9th Of November The
Tehuantepec route is to be opened by the
sailing Of the steamship Quaker City from
New Orleans on Wednesday next. And besides
these, the overland wagon route from st. Louis to
San Francisco has been opened, and is now in
successful operation. Thus, instead Of monopo-
iy, we win have the ffeest competition for the
California trade and travel We give connu-
ncation elsewhe in regard to the effect Of COM
petition on the Panama Railroad Company.
In the meantime, that energetic company il
making strong efforts to hold its ground Welearn
that negotiations are now in progress for the pur-
chase by that company Of the Collins steamers
Adriatic, Atlantic and Baltic, to run in connec-
ton with the well managed line Of Pacific
mail steamers, in order to establish weekly
line to California. Should this idea be carried
out, II will serve to strengthen the position Of.
Panama Company, and viii at the same time be
a great public benefit. We will thus have no
les than four competing lines to the Pacific,
The necessary consequence Of which will be
considerable reduction Of fares and CORES
ponding increase of travel aud trade between the
Atlantic aud Pacific.

liquor law reported by The police not one has
been prosecuted. either by himselfs Or his prede-
ccssor,
The unsafe condition Of the covered wells In
different parts of the city, by which one man has
recently loet bis life. is one Of the results of the
Infamous system which prevails in the execution
Of contracts under the Street Department. The
Grand Jury think that The contractor Of the Job
on The RoWgry, BY whose culpable negligence
Mr.. Speir AZ killed the other dag, should be
held responsible for his death, and they
point out several other localities where
old wells IRE sill IN dangerous con-
dition from thc same cause. The contractor
who left this well on the Bowcry IN such dan
gerous state should be prosecuted, and the con-
tractors who have left the other wells referred TO
in their present unsafc condition should be COM
PEELED at once to srcuce them, that the lives Of
our citizens may be no longer in momentary
peril.
In referring to their visit to the institutions on
Randall's and Blackwell's islands, the Grand Jury
state, as fact worthy of consideration that at
least three-fourtbs Of the convicts on the latter
island are youths between the ages Of fifteen and
twenty-five. This is precisely the class among
which the most dangerous criminals are to be
found. OF this class is young Rodgers, now
under sentence of death for the murder of
Mr.. Swanston, and the fact to which attention is
drawn by the Grand Jury proves how ill-advised
were the efforts to procure executive olcmency in
behalf Of that unfortunate youth. There is no
class in this community in which an example is
more necessary than the one to which Rogers
belongs, and which crowd the cells of the peni-
tentisry

YELLOW FEVER IN THE SorrH "A CATION

New Orleans and Mobile within the past few
weeks, warning unacclimatcd persons from visit
Ing those cities, which, despite the latcness Of
the season, are still afflicted with yellow fever;
but IL appears that large numbers Of such per

thus not only recklessly endangering their own
lives. but furnishing food for this terrible cpidc-
mic. To-day we publish another despatch from
the Howard Association Of New Orleans. an

TO keep away. We trust its monitons win be
needed. II has been well established that yellow
fever In our Southern cities is fed aud perpetual

the lives Of many Of the inhabitants who are not
liable TO take The fever become sacrifices 10 ihc
