RIDIcULoUs.-The Sacramento Union is
endeavoring to create the impression that the
Valley Rail Road Company is responsible
for the nundatiou of that city, because the
Company extended an embankment beyond
the r street levee toward the high ground
back of the city, instead of leaving trestle
work as required 10y ordinance. This is sim
ply ridiculous The entertainments of Sacra-
mento could not resist the Il oods poured into
the valley, and had not the water broken
over the east levee near r street, it would
have forced the levee at some point on the
American. Nothing could have prevented
it. The Union may dislike the Valley Rail
Road Company, but it carries its enmity
rather far in making it responsible for a ca
tastrophe that no human foresight, in all
probability, could have prevented.
