The San Joaquin Republican. of Tuesday.
contains lengthy article exposing the abuses
practiced by the officers of U. S. Bankruptcy
Courts in this State The facts as set forth
in the article show that it is custom with
some of the officers to get too much from the
estates of those who are unfortunate as to fall
in their clutches. A bankrupt law should he

or and creditor for their benefit. without sub

unjust expenses eating up tie bankrupt's as

Three important cases. involving a vast a.
mount Of money. have been dragging through
Clarke's Court during the past wear. and a
half-one firm dealing largely in grain pro-
duce; another a heavy ieweler establishment.
and a third a house in this city, formerly ex-
tensively engaged in the manufacture and

The Stockton aud Copperopolis Railroad
will probably be commenced in short time
If the Stockton papers are not mistaken.
Soon as parties were willing to commence the
construction Of this road which is virtually
necessary for the future prosperity of their
city, the people true to their former antece-
dents commenced to quarrel as to which route
the road shall run through the city. This ap-
uears to outsiders 10 be a small matter to be
allowed to delay work that is of SO much
Importance to hurry up. Already the San
Joaquin Valley Railroad are running freieh,
and passenger cars 10 point less than fifty
| miles from Sonora. While the STOCKTON peo-
pie are quarrelling over the location of the
rails through their streets apparently through
fear that ehoiy will get advantage over
somebody else, they are losing time that may
result in loss of freight and travel. 1t is
vitality important for their interest that they
give undouhted assurance that the Coppero-
polls road, will be brought nearer to Tuol-
umne. than the San Joaquin Valley road now
is, and that in short time, before the trade
of this county goes in the other direction. of
which there is considerable danger. We be-
lieve the people of our county will prefer to
carry their trade TO Stockton if the facilities
for transportation are as good as any other of
fered, but they will certainly go the easiest
and cheapest way to market. If the people
OF Stockton desire to avoid having to COM
pete for our traffic, they must hurry up and
satisfy our people that they mean business
and desire our trade by presenting equal in
ducements with any other point. If they are
ever brought in direct competition with the
valley road they will certainly hazard the
chances of retaining a trade that naturally
belongs to them. We shall be glad to learn
that the work has been commenced with a
prospect of being carried forward without
any more delay. The feeling of our people
for the future is more hopeful than for some
time past. The certainty that our farmers
will soon be able to obtain titles to their
farms and the prospect of railroad ccmmuni-
cation near to us. has insnired confidence
which augers TINT new era il about to com
mence that will relieve the depression that
has hung over us since the decline in mimi q
pursuits. The time is not far distant when
our trade will be of great importance to
any place that can control it, Stockton
should make every effort now to attract it
that il may be secured in the future. These
foothill counties are destined eventually to be-
come ms thriving as any portion Of the State.
and will add materially to the prosperity of
any point 60 which they will become tribu-
tary.

Postal TELEGRAru.--Th Postmaster Gener-
al in his annual report will not recommend the
purchase Of telegraph lines in order to estab-
fish the Postal Telegraph system throughout
the country, on the ground that the large ex-
pesse it would require cannot be prudently
incurred at this time. Retire. adding the ex-
pense of a postal telegraph system it will lie
better to lessen the burdensome debt and OPP
pressive taxation Of the country. In Ergand

can give that county peace, which it so sadly
needs after continued internal dissensions, it
will be greatly for its benefit and gratifying
to the world at large. The war now existing
between France and Prussia has undoub,ed-

NEw PASrY.-The result of the recent State
elections having been very favorable to the
Democratic party has caused the radicals to
lose con6dence in their future success. Those
Of them who have no principle and less hon.
esty have commenced the attempt to form a
new party. hoping to have the cooperation
of Democrats and Republicans. This is the
old cry that has always been raised by oppc-
uents Of the Democratic party when it was in
power, or when the prospect Of getting into
mower was certain. The cry of reform is the
What impudencs those politicians exhibit in
asking Democrats to join them in reform of
abuses of the radical party. Democracy has
fought against radicalism from the hour of its
inception to the present. with the purpose Of
reforming the abuses which that party we're
heaping on the country. Now that this un-
holy and wicked combination is about falling
to pieces by the weight of its own iniquities.
some of them ask Democrats to Join them in
forming reform party. If these brilliant
originators of a political party honestly desire
reform, there is no way they can bring it
about so efsctuallv as BY joining and sustain
ing the Democratic party. Experience has
proven that no other psrty has been able to
conduct the affairs of the people with success
The idea of radicals instituting an honest re-
form party is nothing more than death bed
repentance which promises small hope for
their safety in the future.

news was told that they had beer beaten.
they could not realize the fact, but it soon
became apparent that it was true. They
mourned, then ordinations aud recrmina-
tons were thrown out among themselves
charging each other with the cause of their
defeat. When all of sudden they cnnclnd-
ed to transfer Phoebe from Nevada to Utah,
deprive Kendall of bis 1856 majority and
thereby elect Fitch. But unfortunately for
the Respondent radicals the more news they
got the larger was Kendall's majority. and
as there is no other place giving Demo-
