The People demonstrate.

A few large property holders many of
whom never pay their taxes, petitioned the
Supervisors Of San Francisco to tax the peo-
pie of that city in the amount of Sl5O,O0O
extra, for the purpose Of erecting Capitol
building in that place; provided the Legisla-
ture would agree TO move down there. The
proposition was lost once before the Board,
reconsdered, and passed by a majority of one,
under the outside pressure; and now the
people of that city-the small property hold
ers who do pay their taxes-the mechanics,
artisans. etc-are demonstrating against the
passage of a law authorizing the Supervisors
to levy that tax or issue bends to that amount.
In their memorial they say:
"The collection of so large an amount
from the citizens of one locality for the ben
eft of the whole State, certainly cannot be
desired by the citizens of other counties. 1t
would be unfair, unjust, and we believe. i'm
polite and illegal.
"The large proportion of the people of San
Francisco are not only unwilling to be taxed
to this amount for this purpose, but are fully
satisfied with the present location of the State
Capital, and are indisposed by word or act Of
theirs to again place its location or removal
as question to be yearly agitated in the leg
islatve bodies of this State"
What will the agiators do now? The whole
people of the State, so far as they have spoken
on the subject say let the capital alone; and
even those of San Francisco declare that they
are fully satisfied with the present location Of
the State Capital. Sac Bee.

| By the comparative statement of the business
Of the road for the past four years. you will be
| gratifed to observe the steady increase Of the
traffic which belongs exclusively to our line of
road, and which must be much increased by the
several connections now proposed to be built.
This road-the pioneer road of California-ha
received no aid from the Federal, State, County
or City Governments; has been built entirely by
individual enterprise and capital; and you have
satisfactorily demonstrated what might be done if
the railroad system was fostered by the State and
counties.
Since the commencement of this road, more
than 81 400 600 has been disbursed for labor alone
in this county, adding so much to the circulating
capital of the county. Besides this, the road has
opened an entirely new business, giving employ
ment to large number of persons and which
could never have been undertaken without it,
Hoping each succeeding report may be as fa-
vorable as the present, have the honor to be,
very respectfully, Your ob't sery,t,
j. MORA MOSS, Trustee.
Sacramento, Feb l4th, 1860.
The above is favorable exhibit of the increas-
ed business of the road compared with former
years. The gross earnings of the road for the
year ending Sept. 3Oth, 1853 were slS5, 1903 20;
and the net receipts SS7 l0l 90. The net receipts
for the same time In 1851, were S6974l 10.
Bill PASSED. .-On Tuesday the Assembly,
by a vote Of 40 ayes, to II noes passed the bill
allowing $233O compensation to It. Gov.
| Wakup for services as resident State Prison
Director. The bill having passed both Hous-
es now only requires the approval Of the
Governor to become law. The same bill
passed the Senate last year with only three
dissenting votes; but was defeated in the
House by tic vote. This year the vote for
it in the Senate was unanimous and in the
House in a ratio Of more than three to one.
The Legislature has finally done justice, tar
DIV Justice, to faithful officer.
We observe that Mr.. Laspeyre. of San oa-
quin, who was on the Assembly Special State
Prison Committee of unenviable notorietv
of last winter, used his tremendous (?) nfu-
ence against the bill; and was seconded by
the redoubtable Gwnn of Yolo,-lhe same
member who introduced the the bills giving
away the swamp lands of Yolo, to certain
parties if they would reclaim them, and the
State Census bill, which was to squander
$4,000 or 100000 of the peoples money
