FARES AND FREIGHTS.

we are Informed that j. H. Nef, Senator
elect from this county, told the Chairman Of
the Democratic County Central Committee,
w. NJ. Crutcher, just before the election,
that if elected one of his first official acts
would be to introduce bill to reduce the
rates Of freights and fares on the railroads.
The resolutions Of both the Republican and
Democratic County Conventions declared for
and pledged their candidates to this action in
the event of their election. In this act Sen
ator Ncff will have the support Of nine-tenths
Of all our people of all parties, and we trust
his bill will be so drawn as to reach and en-
force the real object desired. Section 81 Of
the act passed May Goth, 1861, is the only
section that requires amendment to reach the
desired object. 1t reads az follows:
SEC 81 1t shall be unlawful for any such rail-
road company to charge more than ten cents per
mile for each passenger, and fifteen cents per
mile for each tun of freight transported on its
road; and for every transgression Of such limita-
ton, the company shall be liable to the party
suffering thereby treble the entire amount OF
fare, or freight, so charged to such party; pro-
ridsd that in no case shall the company be re-
quired to receive less than twenty-five cents for
any one lot of freight for any distance.
Strike out the word "ten" for passengers,
and insert the word "three," and the word
"fifteen" for freight, and insert "fve," or
any other equitable sum, and the object is
accomplished. The penalties in the section
should be made more severe and certain; but
even as they now are, the company probably
would not violate them. In this matter
Senator Neff will find plenty Of support. 1t
will not do to say in such bill, " the right
to charge and receive - is hereby granted"
etc., or that when the net earnings Of the
road amount to specified sum, then the
rates shall not exceed, etc., as the former
would be grant, and irrepealable, and the
other nulity, as the company would take
care that there were no net earnings. Such
provisions would be infinitely worse than no
change at all.

WE BELIEVE IT.-The Sacramento Re
cord, paper that should be well posted OF
the acts of the railroad managers, asserts
that that company did do all that it could
for the election Of Booth and the Republican
ticket, and that, without their aid, he would
have been as badly beaten as was Gorham
in 1867. The Record further tells the Union
rather plainly that so far as its influence
went, it could not have changed the result,
and that Booth is under no obligations to it.
This is the substance of what the Record
says, as we understand it. We believe the
Record is right, so far as the action of
the railroad is concerned, and that if it
had sent its agents to all its eight thou
sand employees with command that they
should vote for Haight, that he would have
been elected; that is, if this had been done
privately, as it was for Booth. To the
Union, we believe, belongs the credit, if it
is any credit as matters now stand, of nomi-
mating Booth. Thus honors stand abou,
even between the Union and the railroad
company. and Booth is equally indebted to
both. And now, what will Booth do? He
cannot please both, and one of the parties
is sold. We hope it i, the company and we
fear it is the Union. Booth never said be
would veto a subsidy bill; he never said he
would use the power of his administration to
reduce the rates Of fare ard freight; and his
last and greatest indebtedness is to the mo-
nopoly-that of his election.

1t will be seen that the present series Of
books, which are pronounced by large por-

the old ones, cost less than one-fourth as

ter of serious import to parents, as the defeat
of Fitzgerald might result in change that

Among the Jews there were
schools Of the pro hets, where the
young men were taught to sing
psalms and play upon musical in
strumcnts. Here it was that the
prophets often uttered their proph-
ecies to the music Of the harp and
other ancient Jewish instruments.
In these schools pupils were on
ly taught the study and practice
of music. However rude aud IT,
literate pcopl, may be, we yet
find that music in some form is
cultivated. Music schools are of
very ancient date; they are among
the earliest institutions that people
set up, for they teach expressions
in a language which addresses the
hearts Of all.

Pouring forth their minstrelsy,
Making hills and yallies ring,

Murmuring their limped song,
