~ We have been pleased to welcome home
this week Hon. c. c. Dudley, and can truly say
that he is the only one of our legislative men,
bers' who has not misrepresented us. He did
his best to pretoct his constituents from
injurious local legislation, while his colleagues
appeared to be wholly in the interest of persons
who had peculating schemes upon the county
If we mistake not the people of Placer will
insist upon comforting higher honors upon Mr.
Dudley.

AUBURN, MAY 2, 1868.
Placer County under the Lash

The Central Pacific r. r. Co., is making
every exertion, by the use of money, stock,
persuasion, promises, etc, to induce the vo-
tiers of Placer county to give them $3.50 900
and finding that all these influences are not
sufficient, they are now attempting intimdal
ton, by threatening that no man shall ever
hold an office in the county, who opposes
this measure. This threat was made this
week, in Sacramento, by prominent mem
Der of the Railroad Co. to an influential
gentleman of this county. This is fore
shadowing of the policy Of the Company
They intend to be the dispensers Of all official
positions in the county. They are to make
and unmake officials. No man is to have
office except as they may will it. They
are to be the source of all power in the
county-and the people, the voters are to
be their suppliant tools. Does this account
for the plability of the Placer county dele
cation in the Legislature with the exception
Of Mr.. Dudley in favoring this s25o,ooo
appropriation. Have Messrs. Hartman,
Higgins, Yule and Blanchard, who are all
understood to be candidates for different
positions, the promise of the assistance of
the Company, to forward their aspirations'
Voters of Placer county, it is for you to
rebuke the insult thus given you, by showing
this supercilous Company, that you can be
neither bought or frightened into supporting
measure that your judgments condemn as
wrong and pernicious.

FAILURE OF THE WAGON ROAD Bill
Last week we referred to a wagon road bill
introduced by Mr.. Blanchard, asking au ex-
elusive right Of way, through strip of ter
ritory ten miles in width, for Crocker & Cos.
Dutch Flat Wagon Road; and the right to
regulate their own tolls for twenty five years.
The bill was referred to the Placer delega-
ton, and when reported back by Mr. Yu!e
Mr. Sears, Of Nevada county objected that
it was not the original bill. Mr.. Speaker
held the objection good, and the bill went
by the board. Subsequently Mr. Yule asked
unanimous leave to present bill relating to
same subject, but Mr.. Sears again objected
saying he was opposed in toto to the fran
chise. 1t being then too late in the session
to pass bill by regular course, the project
failed, and Messrs. Croker & Co. will be com.
PEELED to build their road under the same gen
eral laws that other Wagon Road companies
have done. And instead of any exclusive
privileges being granted, other roads may be
built wherever business will justify the in
vestment of capital. Mr.. Sears is certainly
entitled to the thanks of the people of the
county for defeating this measure.
The people of the county are anxious tc
see the Dutch Flat Wagon Road built, and
will hail the day when this important route
to Washoe is opened for business; but the!
have thought it unjust that this Road sboulc
have prevented the building of other road
