Railroad Vote.

The voters of Auburn will bear in mind,
that Monday next, 4th inst, is the day APP
pointed for the election at which they are
required to vote on the proposition for the
Corporation to take $4,000 stock in the
Sacramento, Placer and Nevada Railroad. -
The granting authority for the same, was
passed by the late Legislature, and was pub
ished in the Herald several weeks ago
1t is scarcely necessary for us to advance
arguments why our citizens should vote for
this subscription, as the matter has beer full
ly discussed by them for months past, and all
the reasons pro and con been brought out,
duly weighed, and a nearly unanimous favor
able decision, as we believe, arrived at.
This is right-indeed there should not be a
dissenting voice, is thus giving encourag-
ment to al enterprise, organized here by
our own citizens, that promises so much for
the future prosperity of the town aad coun-
ty. The amount will not only be of mteri-
al aid to the Company, but will also demon
strate the earnestness of our intention in
carrying out work so long talked of and
wished for, and will go to show to the peo.
pie of the county, who will soon be called
upon to express their sentiments upon
similar measure. that we are determined to
build the road-and at the earliest day pos
sible.
We do not know that the measure has
single opponent in the town, and we will be
pleased to record in our next issue the vote
in its favor as unanimous. The man who
would vote in opposition, is not only inditfer
ent to but an enemy to the interests of the
place.
The polls will be held at the court House,
the time for opening being o'clock a. m

the county taking Sl5o,0oO stock in the
first named Railroad alone, but the Governor
having subsequently, vetoed the "Omnbus
Wagon Road Bill" which included the above
wagon roads, the original bill was changed
so as to embrace the appropriations above
stated. Of TIE Eas ern Extension Railroad
we know little, and shall not attempt to
speak for it-for the other enterprises we
most heartily invoke the assistance of the
voters of the county. The Sacramento,
Placer and Nevada Railr, ad Company was
organized by citizens Of this county, in
Auburn, last year; an organization had been
suggested years previously, and even before
the cons, ruction of the Sacramento Valley
Railroad was contemplated, railway con
nection between Sacramento and Auburn
was agitated. The idea OF the projectors
of the enterprise was to construct a railway
from the valley to Auburn and Nevada. The
company have employed competent engi-
neers, surveyed routes, collected statistics,
obtained estimates and profles of routes, all
at considerable cost. The surveys show the
prauticabilily of road from Folsom to Au-
burn, with generally easy grades and mostly
light cost. From Auburn to Nevada the
practicability of the line has been demon
stra,ed but no estimate of cost made. The
length of this line is forty miles through the
county, extending from Folsom to above H.
lnoistown, and when constructed would add
Largely to the taxable property of the county.
The statistics of business of the road show a
business that would pay handsome per
cent upon the Investment. The wagon roads
over the mountains would be important con-
nectons of the railroad, and would inevita-
bly, command the entire trade between Sac
ramento and the Washoe country, as the
reduction of time and distance would defy
the competition of any other routes. This
would be an entirely new business to the
county, the profits whereof would 90 into
the pockets of our own citizens, instead,
as at present, into those of the people of Ell
! Dorado.
Space is not permitted us this week to dis
| cuss in full the merits of these measures. In
subsequent articles we will show the advan.
tages to accrue to the county by the con
struction of this Railroad aud the Wagon
Roads, and will satisfy those who are fearful
| of an increased taxation that such fears are
| i'll founded We would have tax payers
remember that they can vote separately on
each propcsition-they are not compelled to
take all the propositions in order to get the
one they may like; but we ask them to give
| all careful consideration. 1t should not be
forgotten, that under the law, the Sacranen
to, Placer q Nevada Railroad cannot recei,e e
but $50 900 until the Company has con-
structed the first division of their road at a
cost of some S250,000 or 100000 and
make it tax paying property.
These measures are meeting the opposition
of parties in the c. unity " who have project
on hand to construct a toll road over the
mountains, and are strenuous advocates OF a
division of the county. They have misrep-
resented the bill, and the manner of lis pas
sage. We ask of voters a full investigation
and ir decision.

Editor Placer Herald:- SIR:-In the Pa
Ger Courier Of the oath of May, we fluid the
following in an editorial, under the hea, Of
"The Railroad and Wagon Road BILL
"We had hoped to have heard something
upon this subject from the Placer Herald
(the organ of the parties who organized, and
By trickery and misrepresentation, swindled
this bill through the Legislature,) in its issue
of Saturday last" &c, &c.
The italics in the foregoing extract are
ours-we supported the bill, and it was
mainly through our exerlions that it became
law; and we unhesitatingly pronounce the
charge of ''trickery, misrepresentation and
swindling," on the passage Of that bill, as
an unconditional f;.lsehood; and we chal
lenge investigation into this matter.

Member of Assembly from Placer Co.
JAMES ANDERSON,
Senator from Placer County.
Auburn, May 2Gth, 1860.
RATrLEsNAKE, May 2sth, 1860.
Messrs Lowell and Anderson-Dear .Sirs:
In answer to the charges made against that
portion of the delegation that advocated the
passage of the Rail and Wagon Road Bill
for Placer County, in the article you refer to
in the Placer Courier of the 9th, am free
to say, there was no trickery or swinding
resor,ed to for the purpose Of securing the
passage of the BilI-had there been, it
would not have escaped the observation OF
the balance of the delegation; SO far rs am
concerned believe the matter to be entirely
msrepresenteu,
The Placer herald., 1860-06-02
Yours truly,
d. S. BEACH.

We have additional authority in our pos
session, which we will give in the future if it
becomes necessary. The report of the pro-
ceedings in the Assembly will be found in the
Standard of the 26th and 2sth of April, and
which will be published in the Placer Herald
next week. Between those dates, meeting
of the delegation was held, on the bill at
our rooms, at which all were invited, and at
which all attended, except Mr.. Makins. The
bill was there read over and thoroughly dis
cussed, aad all the amendments which were
subsequently, made to it, were then spoken

an account of the proceedings on the bill in

COUNTY ScR1p.-The County Treasurer
advertises to day that lie will redeem accept
ed scrip up to No. 2,6l8. We learn this is
the latest outstanding scrip that was issued
by the Wing dynasty that was in power in
this county few years ago.
1t will be seen that scrip three years old
is outstanding nnredeemed. From this on,
however, the time will be considerably les
sened. The next scrip issued after 2,6ls
was in August. 81, and in the spring of
that year the Redemption Law" went into
force. We may safely predict that in six
months more the County Treasurer will be
redeeming scrip less than two years old.

FIoHr WITH THE IND1ANs.-A dispatch
from Miller's Station, on Tuesday, says a
portion Of the Volunteers who went out to
punish the Pah Utes, met some three hun
dred of them that morning, near Williams
old station, and gave them battle. The In
dians were completely routed, and seven Of
them known to be killed. Three Of the
whites were slightly wounded.
COL Jack Hays is in command of the
volunteer forces, and Capt. Stewart at the
head. of two companies of D. S. Troops
The commands will be separate but will act
in concert Both are on their way to Pyra
mid Lake, and expect to give the Indians
some warm work in few days.
Mn. KELLY's CoNCERTs.-Mr. Kelly, the
Vocalist and Violinist, has given several
Concerts in this place, that were well atten-
ded, as also one at Gold Hill. He designs
giving series of the same in the other min
ing towns of the county where, if good
performance is appreciated, he will draw fine
houses.
The Placer herald., 1860-06-02

rThe Placer Courier Of the oath ex
presses disappointment in not hearing from
the Herald on the Railroad and Wagon
Road Bill, and is pleased to term the Herald
"the organ Of the parties who organized,
and BY trickery, swindIing and misrepresen-
tation, carried the bill through the Legisa-
ture." For an answer to this gross declama
ton Of the Courier that sheet is referred to
the card of Messrs Anderson and Lowell, and
the letter Of Mr.. Beach, in another column.
The Courier may learn in time that every
man is not villain who advocates measures
that do not meet its approval.
