1t seems that America and Eng

newspaper editors occasionally indulge in
personal combat. This spicy little war

I'VE are not prone to pugilsm; we

never been called on to keep the peace to-

now in court, and to be tried Tomorrow

The GRAND Continental RAILWAY.

The project or plan put forth by the late
| Railroad Convention at San Francisco, for
building the Pacific Railroad, seems to meet
with objections from few of our own Cali
fornia journals. This we are very sorry to
see because, If obstacles are to be thrown in
the way of this great enterprise, we would
much prefer to see them come from parties
outside our own limits. Union here at home
and harmony of feeling are essential, and We
sincerely hope that those few journals which
have seemed desirous of influencing the pub
lie mind against the laudable and manly eff
forts Of the Pacific Railroad Convention to
set on foot, at the soonest practicable period,
this great work, will tAink better of their
opposition and withdraw it.
| If there be any defects in the scheme pro-
posed by the Pacific Railroad Convention, let
them be nationally discussed and properly
obviated, but no true friend of California, we
opine, will oppose the entire movement OF
the Convention, on account of a possible flaw
in the general arrangement
The main object now to be achieved is to
obtain the assistance of the General Govern
ment, lst by the guaranty of the payment of
interest on the bonds of the Railroad Compa
ny; %, by the donation of alternate sections
of the land over which the road shall pass,
and, Sd, by the donation, to California, of
the public lands within her limits and the
repayment to her from the United States
Treasury of the sum Of two million seven
hundred and six thousand odd dollars, legal
ly due her, as having been collected for Gus
toms at her ports, previous to her admission
into the Union, said means to be used by her
in aiding the construction of this road. All
Californians, it seems to US, should agree in
their efforts to compass the above named ob
jects
As to the policy which should be adopted
by the legislature of California, it is matter
for consideration. The principal objection
to the scheme of the Convention, by those
now opposing it, is that it requests of the
State fifteen millions of dollars in aid of the
AsOuu' AhC Ob"lSJ NlVg oHlI 10 HhS"uy III
debt, and not able to incur the weight Of SO
heavy an additional sum for any purpose
whatever. This objection is, we think, well
taken. Without d, nations from Congress to
enable her to incur this responsibility, we do
not think she ought to risk the burden. Let
her first pay her large existing debt, before
she swells the demands against her. But,
the Road can progress without any of this
outlay on her part The means proposed
outside of this are ample.
We repeat. therefore, that the policy to be
pursued by the legislature of this State in re
gard to the assistance to be given to this
Road, is very proper subject of discussion; !;
but there should be no disagreement in refer
ence to the just demands which are made up
ON Congress, and in reference to the general
forwarding of the plan set forth by the Pa
ci6c Railroad Convention. The present is
the first definite movement which has been
made in this State in favor of Pacific Rail
road, and it ought to bO the pride of every
true Californian to urge it onward.

RAILRoAD FROM SAY Francisco TO STOCKTON.

RAILROAD FROM SAN FRAScIsco TO STOCKTON.
On Friday, at the reguler semi monthly
meeting of the Executive Committee of the
Pacific Railroad Convention, the Committee
of Ways and Means presented a report IN
which, after stating that, as the Jaw now
stands, and under the circumstances which
surrounds the enterprise, company cannot
be incorporated to construct the entire ran
road from San Francisco to the eastern line
of the State, they say it is very generally
conceded that Stockton is TO be point in
the road and in their opinion it is import
ant to commence the work to that point, as
earlv as practicable, with view to organize
the company and enlarge its stock, for the
construction of the entire road, so soon as
the proper surveys east of Stockton shall
have been made and the eastern terminus Sc
lected They recommend thata company be
formed to construct the road from San Fran
cisco to Stockton, through the counties of San
Mateo, Santa Clara, Alameda and San Joa-
quin, with capital of $4,000 900, or such
other sum rs competent engineers may estl-
mate the road will cost, etc. "The road from
San Francisco to Stockto, say they, will be
about 100 miles in length, and it will, there
fore, require subscription of about $780,
900, of which 10 per cent must be paid in
before company can be organized. The
Committee, therefore, recommend that sub
committees be appointed in each of the sew
eral counties through which the road will
run, to procure subscriptions of stock, with
view to the immediate organization of the
Company"
They also recommend that subcommittee
be appointed in the counties above named to
procure petitions to the Boards of Supervi-
sors requesting that the counties subscribe
for stock in the road.
