ba railroad Is now completed and running 70 within
some ten or twelve miles Of Aarysville- 4 stage
runs from Aarysyille 10 connect with the cars for
Sacramento, where they are permitted to take the
afternoon boat for the Bay. Why does Marysyille
travellers to larry with them over night, and de-
laying their arrival in San Francisco twenty four
hours, Why are travellers coming north oompeil-
ed to stop in Narysville eight or ten hours before
they are permitted TO continue their journey, This
is rival route for the trade and travel TO Oregon
and Idaho. and why does Marysvile choose TO act
the parf of sdeg in the manager on il, By creating
useless expense and delay in its transit, How
much does Dutch Flat pay Msrysyille for these de-
Laws on the Northern California route 10 Idaho !:
If the money thus forced from the travelling public
Is necessary for the maintenance of Marysvile, we
would suggest that they arrange that passengers
may pass through if they prefer TO, and erect con-
tribution box in the depot asking them individually
to contribute the amount il would cost them TO re-
main over night. Or let Aarysyilians take revolt
vers and 60 through the travelling public for the
amount but permitting them TO continue th cir jour
ney. Probably ninety-nine out OF a hundred OF the
travelling public would prefer either of these meth
DDS TO tie detention that now occurs. apparently
for no legitimate purpose. 1t is simple extortion
from the travelling public for the benefit of Marys
vile. We pray Marysvilians TO be more manly in
this arrangement-act in business-ike manner
and let Northern California and her route have as
good showing as possible. We have not a copy
of Whatey before US, but as the 4ppsaIis probably
as good judge of logic as the renowned authority
mentioned, We wish its opinion on illogical conclu-
sion drawn from its complaint. 1t is this; The
appeal expire ssed the wish that ''there some
way the last payments of the SIS 600 subsidy might
be stopped The act authorizing the subsidy
specially provides that the last payment shall
only be made upon the completion of said railroad
to the bank of the Yuba river opposite to the city
of Marysville." The logical result of the -4ppeDrs
wish is that Marysville does not want the Yuba
railroad completed. 1t might deprive her of the
useless expense she now levies upon the travell ne
public TO and from Northern California, Oregon
and Idaho, and then Marysvie would have to come
down TO legitimate business to maintain her pre-
tensions city. We have no doubt ii will go
hard when she is compelled to give up the imposi-
ton she has always practised upon Northern Cali
fornia, and the useless tribute she has always ex-
acted, and is still exacting from people, besides
making herself an injury and a nuisance to an i'm
portant overland route to Oregon and idaho. We
trust the Appeal viii find the RECORD consistent in
its advocacy of railroads and the general interests
of Northern California, and its logic equal to its
consistency If not, We shall not feel very bad.
Crosette has desire to break up any friendly feel
ing" that has grown up between Marysvilians and
0royilians, during the past two or three years.
He is however, if he can going to break down the
tol lgate which the sel:ishness of Marysyille has
always maintained, and by means of which she
levies senseless and useless expense upon the
trade, travel and business interests of Northern
California. Because Orovilians have heretofore
borne the imposition and the robbery that Marys-
villains have practiced upon the entire travelling
community without complaining is no reason why
they should indure the iDfction for all time. They
are going to knock down the Marysyille toll-gate,
that they can go to San Francisco, in one day if
they can. If Marysville can compel them to re-
main there over night, why then they may collect
their usual toll and then, suppose they will con-
tinue the friendly feeling that Orovilians have
paid them for. Down with your old bars, and let
the travel go through.
