THE PACIFIC RAILROAD CASE.

The suit to compel the Supervisors of
San Francisco to issue 100000 of the
bonds of that county to the Central Pa
cifc Railroad Company seems to be inter-
minablc. When we reported the decision
of the Supreme Court upon the question
the other day, we supposed the decision
to 90 to the whole case, and that the mat
ter was finally at an end. From an artl-
Gle in Mondays AHa, however, We judge
that we were mistaken. That paper says:
The petition for a rehearing in the case Of
the naHdaRaus to compel certain of our OH
Gals to pay out S400,0O0 to Dutch Flat the
-4RG's slang term for the railroad |, as COM
promise, has been denied by the Supreme
Court, upon technical grounds. The case is
now in such condition that all the facts can
be elected. The litigation, instead OF being
ended, has just commenced.
Not only the people of San Francisco,
the Railroad Company and the people of
California, but the people of this and
other Territories along the proposedroute,
and in fact the whole nation, are interested
in the speedy completion of the great
work, to which the consumacy of the
Board of Supervisors of San Francisco Is
the sole stumbling block. We say soon
tumacy of the Board of Supervisors" be-
cause the people of San Francisco long
ago voted the appropriation. The Board
have, however, assumed TO disregard the
expressed popular will and have fought
and contested step by step the issuance OF
those bonds. Whether or not the want
of those bonds has necessitated diScon-
tinuance of work along the line of the
Central Pacific Railroad, such at least has
been the practical effect of the non-issu-
ance of the bonds. Itwould appear from
a retrospect of the past five or six months,
that unless those bonds are issued the
Road is to come to deadlock and q
stand-still; and that instead of "Dutch
Flat" as the Aha now CONTEMPORARY
terms the Road, it will have to receive the
| appellation of Newcastle. The fact of
| a railroad across the mountains, the heayi-
est link in the chain that is to bind the
Atlantic and Pacific, is what the people
care for. They care nothing about men
and names and routes; they want the
Road. This apparently everlasting squab-
BILE about those San Francisco bonds has
begun to disgust the people; and men
already begin to cast their eyes toward the
Placeryille Road, which, unaided, is
slowly pushing its way mountainward.
The general sentiment of the people is,
and we echo it, Hurrah for the first
road across the mountains %

THE EASTERN NEWS.

The Overland Telegraph works like
charm about these days; and our reports
come to US with regularity and to so
late an hour, that it seems hardly credible
that the scenes of war, from which we
have tidings of the deeds of yesterday, lie
at distance so remote. We receive to-
day dispatch of fair length, which, al
though it contains nothing of any start
ling importance, will yet be found both
interesting and satisfactory to Union men.
Our reports from the main army are ga
thered principally from the Petersburg
and Richmond papers. Those papers
speak most despondingly of the condition
of things upon their own soil. They say
that Sheridan still continues his fell
work of destruction in the Shenandoah"
and that the sacred soil will soon become
uninhabitable. That's bad. One would
suppose that a handful Of the invincible
cavaliers of the South would ride out
there and make the nasty Yankees run
away. From Sherman and Thomas we
have official dispatches that everything is
going on finely in their respective Depart
ments. Hood appears to be having a
sick time of it. His militia are all de-
serting him; but he is still reported to
have about 1000 men, such as they are.
The rebel papers advocate the destruction
of all the Northern cities by way of retail
alton for the disgusting treatment they
are receiving at the hands of our Gene
rails. 1t is good idea. They spoke OF
the same thing yeal or two ago, but
they, somehow, had not the heart to do 1t,
and we think they will let up on us this
time. They don't mind crucifying and
burning alive few prisoners at Fort Pill
low and such out of the way places but
when it comes to burning down large
city like New York, We are sure they
could not think Of it. Oh, no! The good
people of New York, Philadelphia, Gin
cinnai and Boston can sleep soundly in
their beds. JEFF Davis will never burn
those cities; he is too much of christian
gentleman. The good news from Ohio is
con6rmed-only little more so. From
Europe we have late adyices; but care
little about them. If that amiable CONT
nent should spring leak some day and
sink, all the tears shed in America would
not fill a common waterins-pot. The
only piece of good news from Great Brit
ain is, that that aFectionate nation is IN
peck of financial trouble. If she has got
any friends they viii probably help her
out. From Pennsylvania, we have no
further news. The telegraph brought u.s.
Yesterday, the official return Of the home
vote. We shall probably hear nothing
more until the soldiers vote comes IN
and as her troops are scattered all over the
country, it will be long time before the
returns are received. Of the result Of that
vote there is no room for doubt.

JOHN r. RIDGE.

This eminent Southern gentleman, "a
Cherokee Indian, we understand, and who
would have been chief of that tribe if the
tribe could have =" seen it " in that light. }
is one Of the editors of the Grass Valley
National. Not content with uttering,
through the columns of that sheet. that
mild type of treason which the Govern
ment in its wisdom, allows to pass
through the mails, he has taken to the
stump, and in remote mining camps turns
himself perfectly loose, and gives free
utterance to the venom with which his
soul is filed toward the white people OF
the North. He has been doing it in small
towns in Nevada county. Stidger, of the
Gazette, says of him:
One thing is certain, he will not be per.
mitted to utter such language publicly in the
city of Nevada. If the Government choose,
to tolerate such treason, the people will not

DANIEL o'CoNNEL.


We don't know that any of the Irish
Copperheads in this county ever heard
of man named Daniel O'Connel. We
have. He was descended from Irish pa
rents, but emigrated to Dublin at an
early period o. his existence. He lived
to a mature age and was much respected
by the Irish people in the country where
he lived; although it must be confessed
that the people on the opposite side of
the channel did not 60 so much on him.
He had an old motto of Ireland for the
Irish," and he kept dinging it into the
ears of the British Parliament until they
got sick and tired of him and were glad
when he died. His whole soul was with
the Irish people; he did everything in
his power to enighten them, to elevate
them, and make them a great and free
nation among the nations Of the earth.
That he did not succeed is a melancholy
fact, but that he "died trying" cannot be
denied. He was very fair stump speak
er, and used to address the people very
often upon the great principle uppermost
in his mind, and which he earnestly
sought TO impress upon the hearts OF his
countrymen. For this kind Of talk he
once got himself into Jail, and, for time,
stood very good chance of coming out
of that in two pieces. We have read
some of those speeches, and happen to
have one of them before US just at this
present writing. AS a mere matter OF
curiosity, and for the amusement Of those
Irishmen, who, inaSmuch as they vote
the Copperhead ticket, probably never
heard of Daniel O'Connel, we will quote
few words from the speech of his now
before US. He was talking across the
ocean, to his countrymen in America,
and speaking in the name of his country
men at home. He says:
We conclude by conjuring you and all
OIueE lIlSninen IN Au1eIlCd, III tue uahS VI
your fatherland-in the name of the God of
mercy and charity; we conjure You, Irish
men and the descendants Of Irishmen, to
abandon forever all defense OF the negro sla-
very system. Let it be no more said that
your feelings are made so obtuse by the air
Of America that you cannot feel as Catholics
and Christians ought to feel this truth-this
plain truth, that one man cannot have any
property in another man. There is not one
Of you who does not recognize this principle
in his own person. Yet, we perceire-and
this agonizes us almost to madness-that
you, boasting an Irish descent, should, with
out the instigation of any pecuniary or in
terested motive, but out of the sheer and sim
gle love of wickedness and crime come for
ward as the voluntary defenders Of the most
degrading species Of human slavery. Woe
woe woe
We suppose that the Irish Copperheads,
who of course never heard of Daniel
O'Connel, will, after reading the foregoing,
come to the conclusion that Daniel was
fool

How JOHN MORGAN WAS TRAPPED
The intelligence of the death of the notorious
guerrilla, John Morgan, reached us long
since but we do not remember having, here
tofore, read any of the particulars of his
plotting out. The Richmond Examiner gives
the following account OF the affair:
1t seems that he was on reconnaissance
near Greenville, East Tennessee, and using
the privilege of his highwayman's practice,
took lodgings at an inviting house near the
village. This pleasant little house was the
residence of Mrs. Williams, whose husband
is an officer on General Burnside's staff. Mrs.
Williams kept quiet until the guerrilla chief
fell asleep. Then she hastily procured a
horse, rode at full speed for fifteen miles, and
returned with small squad Of Union
soldiers. Just as they arrived, Morgan
awoke, and, seeing his danger, broke from
the house, but he was confronted on all sides
BY bayonets. Desperate at being thus caught
BY woman, he drew his revolver, swore he
would not be taken olive, and undertook to
break through the guard. They fired-and
John Morgan's career Of infamy and blood
was finished.

TROUBLE ANTicIPATED.-An anonymous
correspondent Of the Mariposa Gazette, who
claims to have some peculiar facilities for
penetrating the secret councils of the Seces-
sionists of this State, is Of opinion that they
contemplate general uprising and massacre
of Union men. The Shasta Courier speaks
of SecessioniSts in that locality arming them
selves, and similar limitations reach us from
various sections of the State. We do not,
however, apprehend much trouble. The
elections news from the East will probably
cool the ardor of the rebels on this coast.
They know better than to attempt any act OF
hostility against Union men at this time.
There are no doubt desperadoes in many To-
calities whom Union men would do well to
look out for {; bu. we do not anticipate any
general outbreak.-OroriAe Record.
There may have been time when such
nonsencial plots may have played hide and
seek in the empty skulls of the Copper
heads of this Territory; but we think that
gentle dream is over by this time.

THE TOWN CORPORATION.

Considerable Observation-Disclosures among
some of the heaviest taxpayers of Gold
Hill, as to the style of conducting the bust
ness of the Corporation. Whether there
is any good reason for dissatisfaction or
not. We do not know from our personal
observation. But we do know that the
community, or at least the principal tax
payers, have expressed desire to find out
what has become of all the. taxes which
were paid into the town Treasury for the
past year; what has become of the license
money; the fines collected in the Police
court; how much has been expended of
Town warrants for the water-works what
the Indebtedness of the Corporation is
and for what it was created; and also,
why town script is not registered and paid,
when there is money, in its proper order
The amendatory Act to the law incorpor-
ating Gold Hill, approved February Is,
1864, provides that "the President of the
Board of Trustees, on the last Monday of
August, November, February and May,
of each year, shall make full and correct
statement of all moneys received and ex-
pended; from sohat sources received, and
to ,chom and for ,ohat purposes expended
during the three months 'ert preceding, and
shall cause such statement within ten days
thereafter to be published. A committee
of three of the Taxpayers Of the Town was
appointed at meeting, held last evening,
to wait upon the Town Trustees, and get
statement as provided by law. We pre-
sumo that this action was caused princi-
pally by the neglect to have such statement
published at the proper time. We pre-
sumo that the Trustees will promptly fur
nish it, and we trust it will be satisfactory.
As the question of consolidation has
been mooted in times past, and as it is one
which is only slumbering, and likely to be
again stirred up, it is to be hoped thlt the
financial condition of our Corporation is
such that when it comes before the people
it will be entirely satisfactory.
P.S.-Since the foregoing was in type,
the Presidents Report was brought in.
1t is good, as far as it goes; but is hardly
of that minute and circumstantial cha
racter, we understand. to be desired by
the citizens. 1t is better than none, how
ever
