IT IS AN IssUE.-The Sacramento Reporter
appears unwilling to admit the question Of
aid to railroads will constitute an important
issue in the campaign of next summer;and'in-
Inmates very strongly that they who insist on
forming principal plank in our platform from
this question do SO from motives of i'll will
toward the Democratic party. We believe
in an open square fight, from street knock
down to question of State policy, and We
believe measure can be met and defeated
or advocated and carried, more sucHssfilly
and certainly, more honorably, when present.
ed in a fair, undisguised manner. A PROPOSE
tion which cannot stand the light and shirks
investigation, it is well to regard with suspic-
ion, and its advocates are open to the distrust
of all honorable men. This question Of
taxation for the benefit of railroads is an issue.
The Central Company have made it an issue
in the past, and they viii thrust it into politics
in the future. The question of issue is not
of our raising 1t is the determined policy
of the Railroad Company ,and We must either
meet it in fair open fight or allow it to over
come and control us hereafter, as it has tho J.,
dominant party of our State heretofore. For
one, we prefer to take the bull by the horns
at once, and do not hesitate to designate which
horn of the dilemma we shall accept. Cor
poratlon influence in State government is
injurious in exact ratio to its power If the
influence is weak the injury is slight. Ifths
influence is great, every industrial pursuit
must recognize and pay tribute to its power.
The people of California have already poured
their money into the Golfers of a private cor
poration until its members, grown powerful,
claim the right to manage and control our
State government. We have opened the
sealed casket and released giant which
threatens to absorb our substanc tax our
industry and manufacture our laws We can
neither coax nor drive the released devil back
into his prison. but we can chain him
where he stands, and the safety of every
farmer every mechanic and every laborer,
demand that he be chained at once and forever
1t is the policy of the Central Pacific Railroad
monopoly to control one or both of the tickets
placed before the people next summer. For
one, we do not indorse a scheme which has
for its object the taxation of every dollars
worth of property in the State for the be6t
of private corporation, and we are willing
to meet the issue now and fight it to the bal
lot box. The Reporter cannot advocate the
best interest of the people of Califomia-it
cannot advocate Democratic principles-and
favor scheme of taxing the many to enrich
the few. The issue is made and the choice
of sides is before the Reporter. Joa-
quin Republican.

An Important Witness.

Happening to be present one day during
the last term of the District Court in the
town of S, Judge -, presiding, | was
willing witness to the following incidents;
A case came up for trial, in regard to the
rights of certain persons to run sawdust into
$ creek, to the detriment of plaintiffs
mill-dam, situated on the same creek, below.
During the trial, witness for the defense
was examined with about the following result:
Attorney-Do you know the plaintiff?
Witness--I do.
A. Do you know anything about his dam.
in the creek?
w. Can't say; never heard him dam it.
A. did not ask you that question. Did
you help him dam the creek?
w. No, sir; dam'd it myself
A. do not understand you. What were
the circumstances?
W. was driving an ox-team for one
Brown and in trying to cross the creek, got
stuck in the middle, and
A. Cnterrnpting him, y What has that got
to do with the defendants running saw dust

W. Well as was saying, | drove team
for Brown, and
A. Don't want to hear anything about
Brown if
Judge--Let the witness proceed Mr.. Brief;
let us get done with this case. Proceed, sir.
W. As | was saying, | drove team for

That thrilling whisper, and concentrated ar
gument, and language simple as child's
had satifed the demands of the intellect,
and this, too, in only twenty minutes. 1t
was like the work of mathematical demon
stration.
lie then changed his posture SO as to
sweep the bar with his glance, and, like a
raging lion, rushed upon his adversaries,
tearing and rending their sophistres into at
oms. His sallow face glowed like red-hot
iron, the forked blue vein swelled and with
ed on his brow, his eyes resembled live Goals
and his voice was the clangor Of a trumpet.
/ have never, before or since, listened to
such appalling denunciation 1t was like
Joves eagle charging flock of crows. 1t
was like Jove himself hurting thnnderholts
! in the shuddering eyes of inferior gods. And
vet in the highest temper of his fury he
seemed wonderfully calm. He employed
no gesture save one-the flash Of a long bony
forelinger directly at the pallid faces of bis le-
gal foes. lie painted their venality and un-
manly baseness in coalesoing for money to
crush friendless female, till shout of sti-
fled wrath broke from the multitude, and
some of the sworn panel cried ''shamcP'
And thus the orator had carried another point
had aroused perfect storm Of indignation
against the prosecutors-and this, also, in
twenty minutes.
He changed his theme once more. His
voice grew mournful as funeral dirge and
bis eyes filed with tears, as he traced a yiv
id picture of mans crueltes and woman S
wrongs with special applications to the case
of his client, till half the audience wept like
children.
But it was in the peroration that he reach
ed the zenith both of terror and sublimty.
His features were liyid as those of corpse ;
his very hair appeared to stand on end; his
nerv es shook as with a palsy; he tossed his
hands wildly towards heaven, each finger
spread apart and quivering like the flame of
a candle, as he closed with the last words Of
the deceased Hiram hore, 'Tell my mother
that | am dead and gone to HIP His
emphasis on the word hell embodied the ele-
ments of all horror. 1t was a wall of i'm
measurable despair-a wild howl of infinite
torture, No language can depict its effect
on all who heard it. Men groaned, women
sl1rieked, and one poor mother was borne
away in convulsions The entire speech oc-
cupled but an hour.
The jury rendered verdict of mot guilty
without leaving the box, and three tremend-
Gus cheers, like successive roars of an earth
quake, shook the courthouse from dome to
cornerstone, testifying the joy of the people.
AT The same moment the beautiful milliner
bounded to her feet and clasped the trium-
phant advocate in her arms, cxclaiming:
so my husband !my dear husband
| Denton smiled, seized her hand, whisper
ed a word in her ear and the two left the bar
together, proceeded to the landing and en-
barked Oh a steamboat bound for New Or
leans. 1t. seems that they had previously
parted on account of his causeless jealousy,
after which she had assumed a false name
and come to Little Rock. How he learned
her danger, could never ascertain.

"PoLLY, ! Ho1LERED' Joe Stetson
was wild, rollcking fellow, who spent most
of his time in drinking and spreeing, while
his wife, Polly, was left at home to do the
chores. Upon certain occasion Joe left
home to be back, as he said, that night.
Night came, but Joe did not. The next day
passed; about sunset Joe came up in the
worst condition posble-his clothes were
dirty and torn, one eye in deep mourning,
and his face presented more the appearance
of piece of raw beef than anything else
Polly met him at the door, and noticing his
appearance exclaimed:
"Why, Joe, what in the world is the
NATTER"
"Polly," said Joe, edo you know Jim
Andrews? Well, me and him had a fight. 4"
"Who whipped, Joe?'
"Pollv, we had the hardest fight you
ever did see. hit him, and he hit me, and
then we clinched amt supper most ready?

"But first tell me who whipped Joe, con-
tnued Polly.

never did see such fight as me and him had

him, and then gin him three or four Of the
allsuficientest kicks you ever heard Of
Polly, amt supper most ready? I'm nearly
starvated.
"Joe, do tell me who whipped?' continued
Polly.
Polly replied Joe, "you don't know
nothing about fighting. | tell you we fought
like tigers; we rolled and tumbed-Grst him
on top and then me; then the boys would pat
me on the sholder and holler, 80, my Steton!
We gouged and bit, and tore up the dirt in
Seth Runne's grocery yard worse nor two
wild bulls. Polly, amt supper most ready?

"Joe Stetson, exclaimed Polly, in a tone
bristling with anger, "wil you tell me who
