Mr.. Yule rose to question of privilege, to per

This WAS the first time that he had arisen to :
question of privilege, and were it only mattel
rclating to himself he would refrain, and allow
time to correct the inputationS TO which he wa

to represent had been grossly miSrepreScutett Oh

bill to aid the Pacific Railroad was carried against
the unanimous wishes of the taxpayers of Placer
county. He believed that his Colleague must have

in fact. This question pariook more OF poht
cal character when under discussion among tnt
people than anything else the Denocrate party

was genarally in FAVOR OF II; ana the MAJORITY
which carried the measure was very nearly Ine
