THE CENTRAL PACIFIC RAILROAD.

The Humboldt Register in reply to
an exchange, commenting on the
action of the Humboldt Board of Com
missioners in reducing the assessment
of the railroad company to $4,000 per
mile, sets forth the benefit of the rail-
road to the State in the following ex-
tract:
In 1865 the railroad company found
this county staggering along under a
debt of over $4,000, and scrip selling
at 30 II on the dollar. and in many
instances the holders of county war
rants We're glad to get even 20 cents on
the dollar. When it become necessary
to buy anything for the use of the
county, the Commissioners were com
PEELED TO pay four or Sin times its
value or do without it. An individual
who was employed 10 assist the County
Surveyor in establishing the boundary
line between thi> and Churchill coun-
ty. in 1861. charged for the services of
himself and two horses at $40 per day.
and put in his bill against the county
at that figure. and it was allowed by
the Board. This is the way this com
~ was compelled to do business before
the Central Pacific Railroad was built.
How is it now? Scrip l. at par, and
county warrants as good as Il check on
the Bank Of California for the am
amount. For this state of affairs. are
We not indebted to the Central Pacific
Railroad? That the railroad Ia, done

These KukluN members of LeglSia-
lures should be expelled. Doubtless
a majority of all the Democrats of the
Southern States are kukluN. We feel
sure that a majority of the Democrats
Of the North Carolina Legislature are
kukluX. That body will meet again
on'the third Monday of next month.
We see the people of that State are
holding meetings demanding the eX-
Dulsion of these kukluN members.
Root them out!
The blood and thunder editor of the
Washington Chronicle is responsible
for the above. No one knows better
than Governor Holden that nearly all
of the Radical members in those States
belong to secret lodges and leagues
whose behe>t> they are worn to obey
regardless of oaths of office. Why not
root them on while in the ground

Oft? Holden, the editor, has kukluN
on the brain since the Legislature OF
North Carolina impeaehed him for
grave crimes and misdemeanors, for
which he was obliged to leave the State
to save himself from criminal prese-
cution. He sees KukluN in every fit
ting shadow, and hears them in every
passing breeze. Verify the way of

CLIMATIC EFFECTS OF CONFLAGRA.
TONS.

The great oonfiagrations which
have lately devastated the Western
States have awakened renewed inter-
est in the question OF the origin of
climatic changes and the effect of for
ests upon temperature. 1t IS said OF
Sir John Hershell, when at Cape
Town. South Africa, that when walk
ing beneath the tail fir trees on the
declivities of Table Mountain, he
often observed a dense mist amount
ing frequently to Il heavy fall of
rain, but on going a little distance
from the forest the rain entirely dis
appeared. This intimate connection
between vegetation and showers has
been remarked all over the world.
that connection and effect being even
apparent along the eastern slope OF
the Sierra Nevada since the advent
of the wood chopper. There is no
doubt but that the annual fall of
rain in Carson has diminished since
the dense pine forest has been cut
away from the mountains within
sight OF this city. What then must
be the effect III those States where
for hundreds Of miles the once dense
forests has been completely destroy
ed? Nor is this diminished fall Of
rain the only consequence that fol-
lows the disappearance OF the woods.
1t has been observed that sudden
and violent changes OF temperature.
alternating from extreme heat to eX-
IRENE degrees ofcold. are much more
frequent than formerly in those dis
tricts of the West in which the tim
Der has been cleared away. The
demand for timber for fuel during
the Winter season appears to increase
as the amount OF that material
diminishes. THIS fact alone makes
this 81 serious matter to those who
look to the future of this country.
Older nations have found il neces-
sary to guard their forests with the
uttermOst care, and in some of the
European countries the destruction
of the forests has been for centuries
a serious criminal offense. Though
that era has not yet arrived in the
United States. il must come much
sooner than this generation has an
ticipated. if these great cOntiagra-
tons periodically continue to desc
late great tracts of the wooded
portion Of the country. The time IS
rapidly approaching whenthe forests
of America will constitute the most
valuable portions of the soil. The
abundance of timber II many por-
tons of the country has insensibly
created the impression that it
would endure forever, and has led
to a wastefulness which may bring
serious consequences speedily to
some sections, in numerous ways.
The effect upon climate and tempera-
ture is only one of these a; but they
are SO intimately associated with the
industrial pursuits OF the people
that all feel the consequences. The
time has probably been when the
now desert wastes Of Palestine and
Egypt were more II less covered
with forests and vegetation. Who
can say how much of their present
solitude is due to the destruction of
their timber, carrying with it the
decay and destruction of great IA
lions, by rendering the country I'M
productive and worthless? The
treeless wastes of Asia, Africa and
Australia teach : common lesson,
which should be needed in America.

THE LEGISLATURE TNvADES THE COURTS
.es..t OF KIN Ok COUNTY.


There is now pending in the Senate on
its third reading House bill to authorize
defendants in SANDER and libel suits, sued
out of the county of their residence, to
sever, and have the suits, so far as they
are concerned, removed to the county of
their own residence. This bill further pro-
yides that if any person sued for SANDER
or libel, out of his county, may have the
cause removed to the county of his resi-
dence.
This is another partisan bill, and is espe-
pecially aimed at Colonel John Baxter.
The exclusive purpose of this bill is to en-
able the various newspaper men now sued
by Colonel Baxter for libel, i'll the Circuit
Court Of Knox county, to take their suits
out of Knox and have then scattered all
over the State.
This is one of the most atrocious meas
ures ever attempted by any Legislature.
That the bill will pass in to law in a few
days there can be no doubt. Here is a de-
liberate attempt, on the part of a Demo-
cratic Legislature, to interfere with the
rights of the citizens and the courts. The
men Colonel Baxter is suing are Demo-
cratic editors, men of prominence and in'-
duence These men have said to this Leg
islature, :. Do this thing ~ And the SER
vile Legislature hasten to obey their mas
-tcrS.
This bill may awaken alarm in East
Tennessee. This is not the first invasion
on their rights, made by this Democratic
Legislature Hereafter, an East Tennes-
seean is to have no rights a Democratic
Legislature is bound to respect. Let the
people be warned in time.

WHY is IT.

-When-the bill for establishing the Grim
inal District of Knox county was before
the Senate on the third reading, Senator
Staley offered an amendment to the effect
that as an Attorney General had been
elected for the Judicial Circuit which in
Guides the county of Knox, and as said
circuit is now divided by this act so as to
provide for two Attorney Generals in the
Third Circuit as originally constituted,
therefore, that the Attorney General here
tofore elected by the people be considered
the Attorney General for that part of the
Circuit in which he resides. The amend
ment was voted down, showing eonclu-
siyely that the object was to get rid of
Thornburgh, and not for the purpose of
facilitating business before the Courts. We
will allude to this again.

minds, and which has been urged by others,
against the location of the Agricultural College
at Knoxville, was the cost to the students from
the Middle and Western Divisions, in getting
to and from the college. We have always felt
that the fund should not be divided, but as an
original proposition, we preferred 9 more con-
trail location for the institution. When the OBJ
iect sought to be attained by the resolution of
Col McGhee is accomplished, we shall feel that
no serious objection can hereafter be urged on
the ground of location merely; and in view OF
the provision of the law forbidding the removal
of the fund by the Legislature, we feel that the
best we can do is to unite in an earnest effort to
make the college, as located, such an institution
as will be an honor and lasting benefit to the
State.

PROVIDING FOR THE NEEDY.

=
1t seems that as the session of the Leg
isIature draws to a close, some of our
hungry Democratic friends from Knox
county grow exceedingly anxious on the
subject of creating positions for their spec
ial benefit. BY our Nashville letter will
be seen that Senators DuBose and Ridley
have come to their relief, and have forced the
passage of the bill creating an Attorney
General for Knox county, against thePro-
test of our own able Senator, Hon. W.B.
Staley, who, by the way, has more brains
than all the Democratic side of the Senate
combined, and whose Senatorial career
has been one of statesmanslikesw wisdom
and moderation. Well, we have no spec
ial objections to the bill becoming law.
The people will not be benefited to the
amount Of one cent by it, but they can
lose nothing specially, unless some igno-
ramus receives the appointment. And no
matter who receives it, it will prove a
short-lived luxury, as the matter will
come before the people next August, when
some one else than this appointce will be
elected. And then, mark what we say,
there will be an effort at the next meeting
of the Legislature, if it should be Demo-
cratic, to repeal the act creating the office.

ton are being appreciated. There are
