ENcouRAdINa.-Within the past week
some five or six gentlemen have called at
this Office and subscribed for the PLACER
HERALD, and nearly all saying. "why don't
You 60 over the county and solicit subscrib-
srs, nearly every good man in the county
wants the HERALD, and are waiting for you
or some agent to come around and take their
names" Gentlemen, We thank you and
should like to do so, but we know of men
who "raid" the county over and over again,
and don't get as many new subscribers as
We do. In the past three years, and at
present, we have been and are trying to
make the HERALD good, independent, out
spoken newspaper. and defender of the peo-
pies rights and conservator of their interests,
and we feel that we have succeeded, but for
the present We ask those who wish the HER
AID to send in their names and .postoAice ad-
arssa, and they will get It,.

AN INSULT TO THE SUPREME COURT.

We have received, says the Examiner,
with the compliments of S. w. Sanderson, a
reply of the Southern Pacific Railroad Co.
to the third and last brief of the respondent"
in the case of the Stockton and Visaia Rail
road Co. VS.. the Common Council of the
City of Stockton. ''The reply in question
contains matter which i. disgrace to the Bar,
and ought to be received as an insult to the
Court. If that tribunal manifests the self
respect which it ought to entertain, "the re-
ply" will be ordered stricken frem the pro-
ceedings in the case. As Mr.. Sanderson once
occupied the position of Chief Justice on the
Supreme Bench, respect for himself ought to
have taught him better; but when we reflect
that, while occupying that high position, he
descended to act as chairman of political
hurrah meeting of the "boys" to make Cor
ham Governor, it is not surprising that lie
should be guilty of any breach of professional
decency or propriety. There was nothing in
tho brief of the Attorney General to prove oke
the gross personalities against the Governor
Of the State contained in his reply The brief
alluson in general terms to the acts of the
dominant party at the conclusion had nothing;
ofpersonalty in them. 1t referred to matters
historical in character; and gave no justifica-
tion for personal rctort If Mr. Sandcrson
thinks the Supreme Court can be influenced
in its decisions by any such poor specimens
of campaign invcctve, which might be ex-
cnscd in partisan newspaper, but which are
unworthy Of any decent member of his high
profession he is mistaken. We shall expect
the Court to administer to him severe but
morited rebuke. The Examiner could have
well added that this man Sanderson, is the
same person who was self convicted of being
the feed attorney of the c. p Il. r. Co.
while yet Judge of the Supreme Court of
the State, as proved by the Sacramento
Union. The Supreme Court must, to pre-
serve its self respect, make this billingsgate
lawyer apologize in open Court for this indg
nifty, or strike bis name from the roll Of pTac-
ticing attorneys in the State

Another Railroad Project.

We find the following in the Cold
water (Mich.) Republican and give it
for what it is worth:
EDITORS OF THE REPUBLICAN,
Gents ALLOW me call your atten-
ton, and through you the attention of
our Rail Road Committee, and all
Others interested, to the following
proposed route, as promising more
and greater advantages than any 9TH
er road that has, or can be, proposed.
Starting from Mansfield-an impOr-
tant rail road point in the State Of
Ohio, one hundred and seventy-siX
miles from Pittsburgh, upon the
Pittsburgh Ft. Wayne and Chicago
road, running thence in nearly a
northwestern direction, passing
through the towns of Tiffin, FOstOria,
Westfield, Washington, and Wause-
OH, i'm the State of Ohio; Amhuy,
Reading, Coldwater, Burlington, Bat
tie creek and Middleville to Grand
Rapids i'm Michigan, distance of two
hundred and twenty-five miles; con-
meeting at Mansfield with the Pitts
burgh, Ft. Wayne and Chicago and
PENNSYLVANIA Central roads for Phila-
delphia and New York-being a saw
ing of seventy miles between Coldwa-
ter and New York over any other
route. No other proposed route does
or can afford so many important con-
nectiOns rs this, as for instance-at
Mansfield with the Pittsburgh, Ft.
Wayne and Chicago; the Sandusky,
Mansfield and Newark, and the At
lantic and Great Western; mt Tiilin
we would cross the SandusEy and
Cincinnati road; ut FOstOria, the
Fremont and Indiana road ; Mt West
field the Dayton and Michigan; at
Washington, the Toledo and Wabash;
at Wauseon the Air Line of the Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern A; at
Reading, the Jackson, JOnesville and
Ft. Wayne; at Coldwater, the old
line of the OF the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern at Burlington,
the Michigan Air Line; at Battle
Creek, the Michigan Central and the
Peninsular road connecting at Grand
Rapids with the Grand Rapids and
Indiana road TO the northern part Of
the State, and the lumber and plaster
interests therein. This road would lie
a saving of thirty miles between
Grand Rapids and New York over
any other road. At Battle Creek an
important connection would be made
with the Peninsular road, running
from Battle Creek to Lansing, thus
putting us in very direct cOmmunica-
ton with lansing and Saginaw, and
the lumber and regions of that part of
of the State. At Grand Rapids con-
neetiOA eOuldbe formed with tie DE
troit and Milwaukee road ria. Grand
Haven to Milwaukee, andfroInffeliee
TO st. Paul and Dunleith, the eastern
terminus of the Northern Pacific
road, now being rapidly built; 0qs
affOrding them the shortest and most
direct outlet to New York, Philadel-
phia, Baltimore, Washington, and
Pittsburg, and also opening up to the
citizens Of Michigan, Milwaukee and
Northern Wisconsin, n new and short
route to the coal and iron Interests Of
Pennsylvania. Time will not allow
us to mention but few of the many
advantages embraced inthis route
We will show others in our next.

lFrom the IIelenn Chronicle.

L rom the ltcIen0 OnrOnlcle.l
The notorious Sip Cameron made
his last escape from the penitentiary
at Little Rock, about the 1st of Decem-
Der last. In July he was taken by the
sheriff to the penitentiary, sentenced
to five years Imprisonment for laree-
ny. He was adrOit enough to slip
through the guards the first week,
and soon found his way to Helena.
He soon began his old trade, tO-wit :
living at the expense of others, and
brOkeiutO the house OfC. NJ. Bumpass.
He was soon picked up by our vigilant
police and found his way back to the
penitentiary.
In December nc bid adieu to Hodges
and his guards and returned to Phil
lips, To live OH the charity of his for
mer associates. Our sheriff was soon
apprised of the exit of the adventurer,
and informs Us that he has been try
ing to capture him ever since, twice
run him out of the county, and caused
him to leave Tunica county and seek
refuge in the swamp of COahOma. He
would occasionally cross the river at
night 10 see his wife i'm this county
who mt this time time is cooking for
5lrs. Rabb, eight miles below Helena.
OF this the sheriff was informed. He
at once gave TO III. Il. and J. w. Rabbi
who are nice gentlemen and have the
confidence Of the community, orders
and instructions to take him and de-
liver him to the sherifl7s Office.
On Saturday night last they were on
the lookout for the despcradO; about
twelve O'clock they discovered fire un-
der the large and cOmmodious dwell
ing house of the family. They soon
eXtinguishcd all appearance of the
flame and discovered this william
this secreted mderth house
in the dark. They demanded him To
surrender; ne made no reply, but
made his way out ON all-fOurs as rap
idlyas possible About ten steps from
the house they fired simultaneously
upon him. He fell TO thessground, shot
through the head and hip, and died
Sunday evening. Thus ended the ca
reer of this most noted scOundIel. Sip
leaves no one to lament his sad fate,
while the Rabb boys are entitled to,
and should receive the thanks, Of the
entire community.
