RAILROAD ACCIDENT NEAR OAKLAND.-A terrible
railroad accident, to which we briefly alluded
last week, occurred Sunday morning, l4th in
slant, by collision of trains on the Western Pa
cifc railway, about five and a-half miles from
Oakland, by which some sixteen persons were
killed and twenty wounded. Among the killed
was Hon. A. W. Baldwin, United States District
Judge of the State of Nevada. Accounts attrb-
ute the blame of the accident to the gross negli-
gence of the switchman at Simpsons station,
where the train bound east should have waited
on that coming west, and would have done so
but for the switchman' S assurance that the west
ward bound train had already passed. On this
assurance, it is alleged, the eastern bound train
went on its way, and mile and a-haf from
Simpsons met and collided with the train COM
ing down, while both were under full head-way
The Amador Ledger, after detailing the circum-
stances of the fatal accident, remarks:
Now, who is responsible for the accidents that
has sent so many into eternity, the swtchtender
or company that would employ a man in such
an important position who could not read and
a common railroad timetable?
The San Francisco Bulletin of November Goth
says:
The switchman, Kane, whose incompetency
was the immediate of the late disaster on
the Western Pacific railroad, was yesterday ar
rested by Sheriff Morse of Alameda, on a war
rant issued by acting Coroner Clement, and
taken before Justice Smith, of San Leandro, for
examination. At the request of the defendant
the case was continued until Thursday, Novem-
Der 25th, at ten o'clock A. NJ. Bail was required
in the sum of $4,000, failing to give which, Kane
was committed 20 Jail to await the examination.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1869-11-27

Too TRUE.-The Bulletin closes article on
the unsettled condition of the people of Cali
fornia, and especially those who came to the
State at an early day, by remarking: "It is
said old Californians have so long regarded high
wages as a necessity, that they cannot come
down to the realities of life, and that they will
have to give place to new and more energetic
population No doubt this remark will prove
true with a certain number, but by no means
with the majority" This remedy for the pecu-
liar weakness of pioneer Calfornians is some
thing akin to that suggested for the riddance
of the Indian tribes, with this difference,
the former must be rid of by natural demise,
while the latter to be slaughtered. 1t must
be consping reflection to the old miner and
settler to be informed that this country can not
reach its destined prosperity until death clears
the way for people more industrious and per-
severing, and less migratory. But facts are stub
born things and as unpleasant and distasteful
to our feeling, and repugnant as it may be to
our sense of gratitude, strict regard to truth
warrants the position assumed by our cotempor-
ary There are many praisewortby exceptions !;
but it is fact that old Californians will not
labor for S4 per day because the year preceding
they had been receiving S.. So when wages
had fallen to So men still refused to work,
and picked up their blankets and " travelled " to
rich diggings, the last being White Pine. This
year, the new Ell Dorado having been undiscoy-
cred, the mania has taken possession OF the
farmers, who are rushing from the northern and
central parts Of the State to the southern. TIE
annual migratory mineral fever has assumed an
agricultural type, and the cry is, GO Ho for Los
Angeles, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Tulare and
San Barnardino.'' The heretofore permanent
settlers in the valleys of the foothills and the
occupants of the richest bottom lands in the
State sell their homesteads and head caravan
for that terra incognitia at the south. So the
people will go, and continue to depart until they
put on an outfit for that journey from whence
no travellers return. People from the East and
Europe will fill the places they vacate, and
gradually California will acquire permanent
and fixed population-MarysuUe Appeal.

The Mormon Problem.

1t seems that circumstances point strongly
crusade against polygamy opened by the sons of
Joseph Smith finds many followers in the Nor
mon fold, and seriously threatens Brigham
Youngs peace and influence. The position in
which he is placed by this movement is one of
great difficulty. The whole course of his teach
ings has presented polygamy as undoubted
revelation, first promulgated by Joseph Smith
and acquiesced in, if not practiced by him. The
two young men who aim at Brigham's down.
fall have standing among the brethren and
WELD an influence among them that renders out
of the question the summary mode of dealing
with refractory subjects credited to Brigham,
as sometimes made use of by him. The circum-
stances of birth and the force of prophecy
which predicted the ultimate assumption of the
supreme government in the church by one of
them, give these earnest opponents of President
Young an influence he dare not undertake to
overcome by intimidations or force. The "lat-
ter-day saints" too, are now brought face
to face with the teeming, busy, "Gentile"
world, from which their leaders thought to
withdraw. The construction Of the Pacific rail-
way through Utah was the loss to Brigham
Young of half his Importance and influence as
the head of the Mormons, and the movement be-
ing made by the sons of the Prophet threat
ems the further continuance of his control over
an united church. The followers of these young
reformers are known as the "Josephites, and
represent separate branch of the church num-
bering many thousand members. The fact that
the schism has been induced by the sons of the
dead prophet will have much weight with those
who embraced polygamy in the belief that it
was divine revelations, and who, but for that
belief, would never have accepted the doc
trine. If, as now appears probable, the ques-
tion of its divinity can't be set at rest by posi-
tive proof, polygamy will be the rock upon
which Mormonism will finally split and so re-
main.
