The BENEFIT OF OPposIrIoN.- day
the opposition Steamships commence their
trips from San Francisco. The benefits re
sulting from this arc already manifest in the
reduced prices on both lines. Tickets have
been sold for the Sonora and Orizaba at the
following rates: First cabin, $3.50; second
cabin 800; steerage $50. These prices are
low enough; they are sufficient to pay the
steamship lines well, and should they remain
at the same figures travellers will have no
further cause for grumbling.

AN EXPERIMENT WORTH TRYING.-A

EB- The Grand Jury did not find any

MORE RoBBERiEs.-Scarcely day passes
without the report Of robberies being com
mitted in this county. Rogues seem to have
selected Placer county as an inviting field
for the display of their vilainy, and from
the success of their exploits, such really ap-
pears to be the case. 1t is possible that
there is yet some virtue in hemp, and we
know of sundry pious folks who are praying
that the excellence Of that product of the
soil may not remain long untried from one
Of its Legitimate uses.
On Wednesday night man stopped at
the Franklin House, on the Sacramento road,
and before morning left, taking with him a
double -barreled shotgun that was in the bar
room, but did not succeed in obtaining any
money.
We also hear, though the story is rather
unconnected, that Mr.. Harlan, who keeps
store few rods above the Franklin House.
and another person, were stopped near the
store-house by some rutiians, Mr.. Harlan
knocked down with a revolver and severely
injured, and his companion robbed of some
$50. The latter was threatened with death
if he resisted. Whether this affair occurred
on the same night the gun was stolen from
the Franklin House, we are not informed.
On Thursday, in broad daylight, two Chi
namen were stopped on the road about three
miles northwest of Auburn, on the road
above Milertown, and revolver and about
$40 in money taken from them. The China
men say one of the robbers had shotgun.
1t is possible this is the same gang who COM
mitted the depredatons at ann near the
Franklin House.

greater than any eruptions for fifty years past
The fire is elected by internal force some
two hundred and fifty feet above the mouth
of the crater, forming fiery cone indiscri-
badly awful The lava decends the mountain
carrying head of fire two hundred rods
wide, running over the sides of mountains
like snake jumping precipices, and carrying
everything before it. Several expeditions
left Honolulu to witness the spectacle. On

burning. The village Of Waimanalu has

Black Republican Inconsistency.

While every kinkey discip of Greeley,
Seward d Co., in this State is noisy in de-
nunciaton of the administration and of the
democratic party, because of the action of
the U. S. Senate, on the 9th ut., with ref
erence to the Pacific Railroad bill, Greeley
himself comes to the rescue, and through
the agency of one of his accredited cores
pondents from Washington, in the New
York Tribune, Of February 9Th descants thus:
1T is now past measure for this session,
and it is not worth while to continue the dis
cussion on it. / must make two remarks, how
ever. Senators have in their debates almost
uniformly assumed that the people of this
country are in favor of the Pacific Railroad,
and desire it to be made speedily. Now, have
no belief that there is any foundation for
this conclusion. The people generally do
not know anything about the Pacific Rail
road, as practical question, and have not,
therefore, and cannot have any opinion on
the subject No doubt, they want it. But
they want it as a child wants rattle, or the
moon, for play hing. But it is to do
them gross injustice to say that they want II
railroad, and will have a railroad, however
undertaken, and at whatever cost This is
to assume the people to be fools. The peo
pie Of this country do not want the govern
ment to do anything that is not wise and
proper to do, especially when il concerns the
expenditure Of their money. And they ex-
pect the National Legislature to exercise
good sense and discretion in all they do. 1t
is to insult their good sense, it is to impugn
their own capacity to think otherwise 1t
is idle, therefore, to assume that Congress is
under any con5traint whatever Of this kind,
that should in the least int. rfere with their
calm and deliberate investigation Of the mer-
its of the question"
1t will be perceived that the high priest of
tanaticlsln, with all of his rank hatred for
everything democratic, has still honest
enough left to coincirle with us in opinion
that the deteat Of tie measure is attlibutably,
properly, to neither political party but was
the result of the discorlant views Of the dif
ferent Senators, and the incoherency Of in
terest existing be!w,en the various sections
Of the confederacy which they represented
or to the ind:6erence Of tie great mass Of the
people, to the construction of the road at this
time.
Hereafter, let the administration or
gans in this State, wait for the keynote
from the leader Of their dusky orchestra
before they tune their miserable lays.
