LIGHT DAMAGEs.-Robert F. Morrison and
wife recently recovered, in of the Courts of
San Francisco, $1,000 from the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company, for breach of contract.
The complaint of the prosecutors set forth, that
Mr.. Morrison purchased in New York an entire
state-room, containing three berths, for which he
paid three passages, in an amount upwards of
$780, This he did on account of the very deli
cate condition of his wife's health, demanding
constant attention, and place of comfort and
quietude to insure her safety through the voyage.
After getting to sea, an attempt was made by the
officers of the steamer to thrust male passen-
ger in upon them. Against this brutal proceed
ing Mr.. Morrison of course protested, but was
compelled to compromise by vacating and permit
ting two females to occupy the state-room jointly
with his wife. When the vessel arrived at San
Francisco he sued to recover S., 900 damages,
and was awarded So 800.
The Court certainly was the best Judge of the
facts, but it seems to us that five thousand dol
lars would be small compensation for such an
outrage. The imperiling of human life is a
trifling matter with these steamship monopolists
Their lust for gain, which has constantly induced
them to overcrowd their vessels, and the savage
cruelty with which they have treated passengers,
particularly those in the steerage-have been
the immediate and remote causes of hundreds of
untirhely deaths, The Morrison case is but one
of their numerous offences against law, justice,
delicacy and decency, and we are glad to know
that the result has been to make the Steamship
Company suffer in pocket-the only soul it has
got-for that mental and physical anguish which
Its tyranny has SO often compelled others to
endure.

Nor SEcEssIoNIsT.-Thursday morning l

NAPIER, taking me rather severely to task for
the comments / made last week concerning his
secession sentiments, and some remarks which
I ventured about Camptonville. Now the fact
is, as have already stated, my friend Napier is
worthy gentleman of the Old Virginia school,
and when last visited his house, we had good
natured word-thrust at each other, purely in a
spirit of badinage, when told him l would pub
Gsh him to the world as a fire-eater. have had
my joke, and l now take back all asserted, with
an expression of regret that my intention should
have been misunderstood. Mr.. Napier is no
secessionist. He is too excellent man in char
acter and intelligence to espouse any such here
sy. 1t gives mepleasure to say, on the contrary,
that he is good citizen, polite, generous and
attentive host, and in every particular deserving
OF public esteem and confidence. S.

A NEW DoDGE-The office-rats, which have
been, or are about to be, swept from the purlieus
of Uncle Sans California Mint, Custom House,
etc., are becoming desperately apprehensive anl
ravenous. Plunder, of some kind, they must
have; for although many of them rose-or,
rather, descended-from the workshop where
honest labor was performed, they now turn up
their noses at work, and would die picking the
discarded bones of free lunches, before they
would SO back to the anvil, the plane, the dray,
the harvest field or the merchants counter.
Their late dodge is, to procure from the Legis-
lature the passage of several special acts, con-
veying railroad privileges through the streets of
incorporated towns and cities. San Francisco,
Sacramento, Marysyille, and perhaps other
places of note, have been designated, by acts
already introduced, and in two or three instances
passed-for the erection of these improvements.
1t is really amusing to see the names embodied
in the separate bills as corporators-nen who,
from capability or wealth are no more fitted to
build railroads, than Digger Indian would be
to calculate almanacs. Marysvile protests.
We have not heard whether San Juan is to be
favored in this respect or not.

North Bloomfield Correspondence.
APRIL 7th, l8(

APRIL Ilu, 1901.
EDITOR Press Your correspondent has
not recently been in sufficient practice to
write very intelligent letter for the PRESS,
nor would the literary effort be attempted.
were it not that your scribe "Henry Jacob"
has entirely failed US. The object of this
communication is not to review the present
unsettled condition of our country, nor to
enter into any lengthy remarks of political
nature, but to direct your attention more
particularly to our local and individual in
terests. Your correspondent "Union," how
ever, has seen proper to reflect severely
upon one of our Assem- blymen, for an alleg-
ed breach of faith, though the writer of this
is unable to see the point wherein breach
has been effected but as he is not politi
clan nor a political aspirant, that may be a
sufficient cause for his stupidity. N. G.
Aliller's record thus far, has evidently been
in consonance with the principles by which
he was elected, and it will require more than
mere assertion to convince the writer of this
to the contrary.
North Bloomfield and vicinity is eminently
a mining community, and like all other
localities of a similar nature, is dependant
upon the yield of gold for success. And that
we have within our immediate grasp all the
essential elements of prosperity and great
ness is beyond question; but thus far we
have only been partially successful in their
realization. The mining district of North
Bloomfield is inferior to none in auriferous
wealth, but the natural facilities are insult
ficient to aid in securing the treasure so ar
IDENTIFY desired. Our mining operations are
of superficial character, and will never be
a success until an outlet is obtained of suf-
ficient depth to enable our miners to work
upon the bedrock. The enterprise is one
of no more than ordinary magnitude, but
will require more capital for its construc-
ton than our citizens are able to contribute
The length of tunnel required will not exceed
three thousand feet, and the visible indica-
tions are favorable for an early completion
of the work. 1t is we'll known in California
that tail-fumes are the best paying institu-
| tions that our mountains afford, and this,
if it were constructed, would open an extern
sive mining region to labor which would
have no equal. In addition to the usual
benefits derived from tail fumes, this will
possess another of greater value, and of a
| lasting character. By extending the fume
down the canon to Humbug Falls, water
privilege may be secured, and which can be
| conveyed to North San Juan or to Sacramen-
to, if desired. This privilege alone would
amply repay the expense incurred. In fact,
immense sums of money have been expended
on water privileges of no greater value. The
writer is sanguine in the belief, that better
investment for capital does not exist; and
all that is required to convince the most
skeptical, is survey of thecountry.

COERCION.

We have been tolerably close observer of
events since the secession excitement commenc-
ed, and have as yet failed to discover that any
one having respect for the Union of the Ameri-
can States, has favored coercion, in the literal
sense of that term, as charged by the sympathis-
ers oftreason. The only approximation to such
thing, has been an earnest desire, boldly ex-
pressed by all true lovers of their country, that
the General Government should so far exhibit the
power which belongs to it, as to preventive theft
of its property, and protect itself against open
insult and secret betrayal. To do this, say the
traitors and their sympathisers, would be 'coer-
cion, " "ciyil wal" "an attack upon the South !"
although they have not one word of censure or
complaint to offer against those who outrage
every principle of honor. honesty and decency in
their infamous attempts to disrupt the Union.
The complete absurdity of this extreme anti
coercion policy may be illustrated in this wise i:
vicious child in family infringes upon the
rights of its brothers and sisters, who complain
of its tyranny. The mother demonstrates in
tone of affection. The child, to show its con-
tempt of parental restraint, seizes the Bible and
at such conduct, the mother still does nothing
but lament and demonstrate. With every NAL
ignant feeling of its bad nature aroused, the child
looks around for rsome further mischief to do. A
jewel of great value lies near. The child discov-
ers it, and at once exhibits an intention to pos
sess it. The mother divines that intention, but
must not interfere with the child's wicked capri
ces even to save her most highly y-przed proper
ty! By no means. That would be "coercion," ;"
and might give ofense to some of tie other chill
dren! What signifies family discipline, sacred
books or charters, inestimable Jewels, compared
with the grand privilege of permitting spoiled
child to do as it pleases!
Don't every person know, that the parents who
suffer such things to be done, have their gray
hairs brought in sorrow down to the grave and
the children who do them grow up to become in
mates of State Prisone, or dangle to amuse
the populace, from the arms of jibbet
