StunLOrub AIcttcL -UAtiTOuu SansAS
Rail .as.a tics.
EDITOR GAZETTE: I notice in the Sac
ramento Union, of November eth, an arti-
Gle from the pen of Leland Stanford, head
ed complaints Against the Pacific Rail-
road Company" which, coming from the
source it does, demands attention. l am
greatly surprised that a man acting as
President Of one ofthe largest corporations
in the United States, should deliberately
make such palpa6b misstatementS. sH
If you have not room for his entire letter,
as published in the Union, the following
extract will convince any n familiar with
the railroad statistics of our country, that
the figures Of an "int.rested" ES- Governor
are sometime wide Of the truth:
"In the Eastern States it is estimated
that to sustain a railroad q population OF
ten thousand is required for each mile OF
road constructed. Estimating the same
for roads in this country, and the State OF
Nevada would sustain three miles OF road,
and the prosperous city of Grass Valley
less than one"
Let US see how Leland Stanford agrees
with railroad statistics: Connecticut had,
in 1860, a population Of 100000. and Go3
miles Of railway /; or 1872 inhabitants for
each mile of road. Georgia had 1857, 900
inhabitants, and l,404 miles Of railroad
or 1852 inhabitants for each mile. New
York had a population of $3.50, 600, and
., 700 miles Of railway, or 400 inhabitants
for each mile. Vermont with $4,000 in
habitants, had $50 miles of railway /; or 566
inhabitants for each mile. Iowa had a
population of 674,000, and 679 miles Of
railroad-less than 1000 to the mile.
The total population of the United
States, IN 1860, was a trifle over SO, 000,-
900 +; the number of miles of railway, 3d.
1893, or less than HOO inhabitants for
each mile Of road. So that the Ex-Gov-
ernor iswrong in his estimates, to the tune
Of about one thousand per cent. Assuming
that !, 100 inhabitants, on an average, sup
port one mile Of railroad. then the "pros-
porous city of Grass Valley" as Stanford
terms It, wouldTsuppors five miles, and
Nevada township nearly as much more.
The Ex-G Governor would also endeayor
to make the people believe that railroad
companies charge just as much in proper
ton for d long distance as they do for a
short distance. 1t is a rule with railroad
companies to carry freight a long distance
a, q less rate per mile than they do for a
short distance. When the road is COM
pleted to Salt Lake, if it ever happens, the
freight tariff, according to Stanford's reck-
oning, would be one hundred and torty:fre
dollars per ton.
If it required 10000 inhabitants to sus-
tain a mile of railroad, then there should
be 800, 0OO, 900 inhabitants in the United
States for our $4,000 miles ofrailway.

STRucK BAcK.-We announced yester-
day, on what we believed to be first rate
authority tina, the ledge had been struck
rich in the Bonner shaft. The assertion
came to US with positive assurances thai
it was so, just as we were goingso press ;
and we hastily chronicled the supposed
event. We much regret the error Of state
ment into which we were led, and the fact
of its un,ruth as we'll. We endeavor to
be certain concerning these matters before
we publish them and our habit is, unless
our own reporters directly furnish the
item. to publish the name of the party or
persons who tell US Of new mining discoV-
cries or developments. I. is proper TOR US
TO state that what we circulated tor'the
fact of strike was, as we have learned the
common report and almost universal De-
lief Of citizens in Virginia City before u
paper was issued on yesterday.

WpAR CHANGE.

How thoroughly the old parties are dis
organized, and what strange bed-fellows
misery has made, we may learn from this
confession Of tho New Orleans correspon-
dent of the World. Describing the {" Dem
ocratic State Convention of Louisiana,
he says: 1T was the subject Of general
remark, while the convention was in 'ses-
sion, that so few Of the delegates were
original Democrats, or even knownin for
mer times in connection with that party;
Old-line Wings, Know Nothings, and
Conservatives made up the bulk Of the
body, and there, were many of the re-
mainder who had never before been known
in the political world. Nearly all the
straight out Democrats there belonged to
the class known as extremists-that is,
holding Southern views, without regard
to the peculiar circumstances Of the si,u-
alton" This is graphic and frank. The
original democrats mostly became Sc
cessionists, while the modern democrats"
are the identical fellows that we used to
know under the name Of old line wings"
"knownothiEgs" and +" conservatives"
But this is not only true in Louisiana.
All over the North, and in many parts Of
the West, the same change has taken
place.. The old democrats who had any
pith or virtue in them went in for the war,
like Grant, Sherman, Logan, Hooker,
Rosecrans.- Dix, Sickles, Brough, Pierre
pont, Tod, &c., and are now mostly acting
with the Unionists. The rest became
"copperheads," and fell into a disgrace
from which they are striving to extricote
themselves BY all sort of fetches.

SroRN AT MoNTsREY.-rhe effect OF
the storm in the bay, says the Monterey
Gazette. has been to throw up large guam
titles of sea animals, some Of them Of the
mos, singular description. A great many
abulones are found upon the beach and
the citizens are reaping a fine harvest.
The commotion in the bay must have been
very profound to dislodee and eject such
numbers Of these savory shell-fsh. When
properly prepared they are said to be very
palatable and nutritious. Several resi-
dents, it is said, deserted their habitanons,
and betook themselves to higher ground
during the prevalence Of the late high
seas, evidently anticipating a visit from old
Neptune.

THANKS, SENATOR We are under
great obligations to Senator Stewart for
the three volumes that make up the Con-
occasionally prepared history of the con-
duct of the war. The evidence contained
in these volumes, thoroughly authentic as
i, is, forms a body of i~rrefragible fact that
the Copperheads will in vain assail. The
repor,s on the treatment of u prisoners
are full Of horrible detail, and no patriotic
nan can read them without anew resolv-
ing to do what in his power may be to
make sure and steadfast the Union victory
over the barbarism Of slavery.

The Board then adjourned.

ExoRBIrANT RAILROAD CHARoEs.-The
people of Grass Valley, CAL. are talking
of establishing lines Of stages and freight
teams to Sacramento, for the reason that
the railroad company now charge higher
prices than the old stages and teamsters.
The Nevada City Ga:ette thinks it will be
of no use to fight the railroad, as it will
put down its terms long enough to run of
opposition. and then again charge its own
prices, and that paper says: "a fact not
thought Of a short time ago. is now be-
coming apparent, that the Pacific Railroad
Company own this part Of the State, and
will regulate matters about as they please"
The people of the State of Nevada will
soon b.. in a similar predicament, which
will last until there are two railroads over
the Sierras.-Reese Rirer RcreiRc.

Nor WoMAN.-M. Toussenel, q French
writer, In a recent work proves that
woman was not the cause Of the fall Of
man; that she wasrno there, and that
other influences effected it. Not only
thiss hui, he also proves that it is through
her fundamentally the world is to be re-
deemed. Thei ladies will be delighted to
hear it, of course. 1t is quite time a good
word was said for Mother Eve, and who

ExroRrroNArs FRIIsHr CHARGES on

ExroRTIoNATB FREIeKT CHARGES on
THE OIL RAILRoAD.-The Nevada Gazette
of November 30th, says:
NominaRy, the charge for freight to
Colfax is eight dollars a ton {; but by the
Measurement rule adopted by the company
it generally costs twice, and sometimes
three times, that amount. Stanford says,
"if any person has been over charged for
freight on the railroad by employees Of the
company the error will be corrected when
pointed out" We know of instances in
which over charges have been made, ac-
cording to the rules of the company, but
which they afterward refused to correct
when the errors were pointed out so
plainly that there was no possibility OF
mistake,
