The Work goes Bravely On.

Notwithstanding the prodgous efforts
which have been made Of late to throw a
damper upon the prospects of the San Fran
cisco and Marysville Railroad, public conf
dence in the enterprise is in no degree dimin
ished. So far from it, men Of means are
daily manifesting that confidence in the most
substantial manner. A signal instance of this
kind Of feeling towards the road was exhib-
tied but yesterday. Our well known fellow
citizen, G. G. Briggs, came up and subscribed
$4,000. paying down in cash $s,OOO of
the amount lie expressed his determine
tion at the same time, to subscribe s25. 900
more, at convenient time. Mr. Briggs has
the good sense to know that, while it is uni
versally conceded that it is to the interest of
all this section to build the road, it will nev.
er be done by talking, but that men of means
must come up to the work and keep the
wheels in motion. If other business men in
this region, who have promised their assist
ance but have been holding back with de-
gree of selfshness truly surprising. would
follow Mr.. Biggs's example, they would
greatly expedite the aff,irs of the Company.
Their talk in favor of the road is all very
well, but let them come down with the
cash.
The Company are of the opinion now that
they will have the cars running from this
place to Susuin City. distance of 65 miles
by July or August. They already have
county and individual securities sufficient tc
cover the outlay, but they will be greatly
ASS sted in expediting their business by tn,

ought to take pride in substantially for
warding the work.
The cost of grading the road from here tC
Susuin City, and making it ready for tn,
rails, is estimated at 81 ,5O0 only per mile
This may seem incredible. but it must be tn
ken into consideration that the base of thi
road is the hest ever surveyed for such pur
pose in the United States.
1t affords us much pleasure to be able t.
assure the public of the continued fair pros

RAILROAD TO STocKToS.-It was rumored
in SAT- Francisco. Monday morning, that the
Executive Committee appointed 10y the Pa
citic Railroad Convention had before them q
report in favor of The immediate organization

that city TO Stockton. A writer in the Bull

pa ties, that a railroad can be built from
Goat Island to Oakland on piles, and from
Oakland to Sacramento via Stockton, within
distance of lis miles. for an average cost
of $4,000 per mile, or $S,6OO.OO0 for the

Branch Insane Asylum.

We discussed the subject of the establish
ment of n Branch Asylum, during the session
of the last Legislature. So did other papers
in the State, and at one time there was a
prospect that bill, providing for such an
establishment, would be passed. Owing to
pressure of business on the hands of the
legislature the bill was permitted to lie on
the table, after having been favorably re-
ported upon by committee We have but
little doubt that the same bill or q similar
one can be passed during the coming session.
The necessity of a Branch Asylum is gener
ally conceded. Nobody, in fact, denies that
it is exceedingly difficult and very expensive
to transport lunatic persons from the northern
counties all the way to Stockton. The Asy
lum buildings at Stockton are too small for
the accommodation Of the fast accommodating
insane, and since additional room must be
made. it is far better that Branch Asylum
should be erected in a place convenient to
the mass Of the people The northern coun
ties demand this accommodation as matter
of justice to themselves. and they prefer the
location Of the Branch Asylum to be at Ma
rysville, as the most convenient point for
them in the north.
1t was suggested to us, last winter, that
some of the rich landhoders of Marysville
might donate to the State the necessary
grounds for the site, and we would take this
OCCASION to re-suggest that it would not be at
oil amiss for some one or more of them to make
the offer. If any liberal minded landed pro-
prietor feels inclined to make this donation
to the State, for the general benefit of the
country and the advancement of his own
city, our columns are open to shim for any
communication upon the subject. Such an
offer would, we think, settle the question, as
to the point of location. at once, because it
would be great saving to the State in the
purchase Of the grounds, which is very i'm
pOrtant item. Such donations have been
frequently made in other States, and the
comPensating benefits in giving Importance
to the town or city interested have always
been Enthusiastically manifest
