Sam Francisco and Marysville Railroad.

The las. Legislature enacted that the peo-
| pie of Sutter, Yuba, Yolo and Solano coun'
! ties should. on Wednesday last, vote for or
against Il subscription in aid OF the Marys
| vile. Benicia aud San Francisco railroad
! On behalf Of the company, efforts were made
| in 'of these counties to procure tavora-
| IN, vntn but we perceive that in two of
] Them. Sutter and Yuha. they lave most sig
nallv failed The first named is almost unan-
imouslv against the proposition, and the lat
ter has likewise expressed most decided
| disapIrobation. We are sure that this neg
alive vote was not brought about by an op-
position to internal improvements, but from
an inability to meet the increased taxes that
inevitably would follow the success of the
railroad propositon.-S Standard
A huge mistake, Mr. Standard, so far as
Yuba is concerned She has made no such
fool of herself as that. She has voted for the
road every time.
BY the way, we have no doubt that the
Sacramento capitalists, newspaper men and
money makers, are greatly rejoiced that Sut'
ter county has refused to give her voice in
! favor of the san Francisco and Maryssille
Railroad They are rejoiced at everything
which initiates against Marysville and con-
duces to the benefit of Sacramento. If the
san Francisco and Marysville Railroad goes
on, Marys,ille will soon outstrip Sacramento
in the rapidity of her growth and population.
She will Lecome the great center of trade for
al the northern regions. Her merchants will
be princes, and commerce will wait at her
rates. The Sacramentans do not desire to
see any such condition of things, and there
fore they rejoice at the cold water which
Sutter county has seen fit to throw upon the
enterprise. 1t will please them still better
| if Solano will follow her example If Ma
rysville would advance step further in II
similar career, and forbid any foreign trade
whatever to come into her limits, it would
please them better still.
The vote of Suttcr county was wholly un-
expected The intelligence Of her people
their public spirit, their enterprise, their de
votion to progress. and the interests, not only
If their own section, but the Stats at large,
evidenced so frequently in times p st, were
such us to ensure, almost to n certainty,
| different result. But the increase of the
price of land and the danger Of the locomo.
tives setting the hay and grass on fire, and
thus starving stock, were little too much
for the citizens of that county to stand.
Since, however, such has been their deter
minaton, we think the road can be built
without their assistance. They will proba
bly, not tear up the track as it runs through,
their limits, or saw down the bridges which
are bull across their streams If they will
be to this extent obliging, it is highly proba'
ble that the San Francisco and Marysvile
Railroad will yet be successfully put through
The Company already own millions, but they
desired assistance from Su.ter county because
little ready cash would be of no disadvan-
tage, and because they thought that a county
which was going to be directly benefited by
the road ought to contribute to its construc-
ton and support
As however, we cannot have this aid aud
support, it is the duty of Yuba county to
help herself We need this road, and we
must have it. There is no reason why it
should not go ahead. and every citizen OF
YuLa county should contribute his due share
towards carrying forward the enterprise
1t will make Marysville great city, and
advance the prosperity OF the entire surround.
ing country.
