ALARMED. Our neighbor has taken alarm
because we have seen proper to inform the
people Of the county and State that Senator
Nelf had expressed his determination to in
troduce and support bill reducing the ex-
horbitant charges for freight and fares on
the G.. =. Il. K. The trouble is, our neigh
Dor does not commend this determination in
Mr. Neff, and try to strengthen his hands
and aid him otherwise in the good work, and
is vexed because we have the will and liberty
to do so. We have had five years expert
ence in legelaton in the very body Of which
Senator Neff will now be a member, and it
is our duty, as a good citizen and one of his
constituents, not to withhold any valuable
information from him. A State Senator Is
not bone that any particular dog can lay
his paws upon and growl and gnaw to his
hearts content; but is, and should be, free,
independent man; determined to labor for
the general good of the whole community !;

sire to cut off all sources Of information from

gestions as to what the law should be, why

Summary Of Coast Dispatefes
An anti-Chnese meeting at Dashaway
Hall, San Francisco, adopted memorial to
the Legislature praying forthe supprt ofapeti-
ton to the Presidentand Congress, and resolu-
tons declaring that the rapid increase of Chi
nese immigration had SO alarmed the citizens
of California that they had the election Of
their State officers upon platform pledging
opposition to its continuance, and ask for
revision of the treaty with China in such a
manner as TO exclude Chinese immigration,
but preserve all our commercial rights and
privileges. The St. Patrick Mining Com
pany elected Milton S. Latham, ID. d. Col
ton and w, B. Bourne to act with }. w.
Gashwilcr, Lafayette Maynard and II. Gro
Mise as trustees Of the company. Three
and a half million dollars Of old, mutilated
greenbacks have been sent East and rep laced
by new ones. There is much doubt about
the commencement Of work On the Lake Ia
hoe Water Company's works this Fall. The
death Of Geo. II. Ensign, WHO held c5nsid-
cradle stock, requires a delay until the estate
can be settled and his interest disposed Of.
Then tie stockholders are not satisfied with
Won Schmidt coutract with the Central Pa
cifc Railroad Company for the tunnel, as
they say the amount to be paid by the rail
road is too small, and the arrangement
would virtually put the water company un-
der the control of the railroad company.
They say they prefer to furnish all the funds
for the work and have no entangling alliances.
1t is understood that Won Schmidt has noti-
fed the railroad company he will be COM
PEELED, in view of the action Of the leading
stockholders, to throw up the contract with
them. The stockholders have no idea of
abandoning the project, but want everything
clear before they start in. The stage was
robbed near Healdsburg, on Tuesday, the
robbers only getting $1S5. Rich tin
mines are said to be found at Ogden.

Ocratic papers, and especially Of the HERALD
1t says:
" Here, now, for example, comes the P1AcEE
HERALD quoting from the right-hand railway
circular, to prove that the said circular and its
railway masters did infinitely more to elect Booth
and defeat the Democratic ticket than the Union
did; and from this drawing the inference that
the Governor elect viii bctray the interests OF
the Peep in favor Of the corporation"
We cannot believe our article will, by any
fair Interpretation, bear the above construc-
ton. We distinctly stated that the Union
deserved the credit Of having forced the nom
ination of Newton Booth, without which OF
course he could never have been Governor
We will now 60 further, and say that we
believe there was no time in the canvass,
both for the nomination and election, up to
the 25th Of August, when the Union could
not have beaten Booth for either. This we
desire both the Union and Booth to know.
But this warm advocacy of Booth by the
Union induced a sentiment TO take hold Of
the public mind-and particularly was this
the effect on those opposed to subsidy-that
Booth was as aafe as Haight on that ques-
ton. This placed both Booth and Haight
where it was possible for the monopolists to
elect either We accepted the Record aa
authority that the railroad company, and
such as it could control, did support Booth,
and by that support elected him. We see
nothing peryerse in this. Had the railroad
company have nominated Booth, he would
have been beaten; but as twas, its power
non-polifcal when dollars and cents are in
sight-tumed the scale and gave him the
election. We particularly desire that Booth
he owes his nomination, and consequently
the Office of Governor But we must be-
lieye, with the evidence produced, that it
was the monopolists that came in at the last
moment and turned the scale. When the
officers at Mare Island could make everyone
Of their employees, in the most barefaced
manner, vote for Booth, it will be a difficult
thing to make US believe that a company
owning and managing all the railroads oad
steamboats, in the State, could not have
changed the votes Of 1900 Ct their men,
But the Union comes to our relief and gays
First, let us tell the HERALD and all those
who pretend to be with Us in this fight against
the avaiice OF tho railway ring, that in Booth
they have a Governor who will never approve Il
subsidy bill, and second that he tcN use all his
influence to secure a reduction of the rates of
fare and freight
We hope this is true. And here let US
say that if Mr.. Booth stands by this pledge
of the Unions, and honestly and fairly tries
to carry it out, he shall have our support on
these measures. The power of the people
over corporations and lcagued wealth must
be secured and maintained. The Govern
ment must prescribe the bounds and powers
of corporated wealth, or combined capital
will prescribe the powers and limits Of the
Government; and then all is lost that liberty
loving people have ever contended for

Nor OUR MlsrAKE.-The Grass Valley
Union thinks we have given Brigham Young
too many wives. The Union thinks Brig
ham has only about sixteen wives. Our
comments were made with a dispatch be-
fore us, dated Salt Lake October I'd, 1871
which reads:
Brigham Young was arrested at p. N. to-day
on an indictment of the Grand Jury charging
him with lewdly cohabitins with 100 women
The arrest was made by United States Marshall
Patrick at Young house.
We arc not able TO determine whether
the Grand jury that found this Indictment
on sworn testimony, erred, or whether the
operator at Salt Lake is well informed as to
Brigham's women or not, but as they were
bo.h on the ground, we must accept Their
evidence until the editor Of the onion fur
nishes us facts to prove the contrary. Now,
it is for the Union editor to take the stand.
