REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION. This
Convention will be held in Sacramento onnext
Thursday. The election of delegates in the
country counties is going by default, not one
tenth of the former Republicans coming to
commit themselves by voting at the prima-
ries. Indeed, in many of the counties the
Central Committees assumed the power to
appoint delegates, thus violating the COM
mands of the State Committee, and deiraud-
ing the members of the party of all voice in
the matter. In San Francisco, however, a
warm fight is going on on the Goat Island
grab question, the enemies of the grab being
determined to send a solid delegation to Sac
ramento to demand that the State Conven
ton shall pass resolutions denouncins the
infamous scheme, and Sargent, Coghlan and
Houghton for favoring it, and rebuking the
Republican Senators who recently signed a
petition to Congress endorsing the swindle.
TO do this San Francisco must control and
use fully 100 country delegates. Whether
she can do this or not is questionable, seeing
that the question was not raised in the coun-
try counties, and that the monopoly will use
money freely. The object is to declare the
voice Of the party in this State against the
Goat Island grab, and to send delegates who
will threaten Grant with the loss of this State
if he refuses to pledge himself to veto the
bill if it passes Congress. This may have
some effect on Grant, seeing that he is iguo-
rant of his low standing in this State, but it
will really make no difference to him, as
California is against him in any event.

AN OuTRAGE.-Th Examiner says; IL
is reported that twenty-three Senators nave
signed petition to Congress asking IL 10
give Goat Island to the Central Paci1c haii-
road for terminus. With malice. afore-
thought, twcnty-three Senators elected by
the people of California are determined, II
they can, to rob nearly one third OF the pop
ulatiop in this State of the commercial ad-
vantages for which they worked so hara
during the last twenty years or more. Oan
it be that their constituents will recognize
this as a representative act---as an act OF
theirs? No; we have a better opinion oil
the people of the interior than to believe
they have sold themselves body and soul to
this great railroad monopoly. Those Sen
ators have wantonly laid the plan for array
ing the city against the country. Their
names should be conspicuously displayed by
every newspaper in San Francisco, and this
act of treachery made to follow them in all
the windings of their political career"

TIE CASE WON AT LAST.

Placer county has had tax suit against
Central Pacific Railroad for taxes for 1868,
which has been pending in the Supreme
Court going on four years. The company
fought the case on every conceivable point
that gave the fantest hope, and are now
beaten in the end. This decision establishes
the fact that our revenue laws were consti-
tutional: that the railroad is taxable for State
and local purposes as other property, and
that District Attorneys were legal and con-
stitutiona tax collectors under the old law 1t
also teaches the company that hereafter its
only hope of escaping taxation is in the bribery
of assessors, supervisors and collectors under
the present law. 1t teaches that company
that it must pay taxes as other people do,
and not when and what amount it pleases
For eight years, GA and 'GS being the ex-
cepton, this company has escaped three
fourths of its just taxation through the ig-
norance, treachery or corruption of revenue
officers of this county, which wonld show a
loss to the county in that time of some $685.
600, and to the State $264 900, and all be-
cause Placer did not have the right men in
the right offices. The public know with what
determination the HERALD has always held
that the law and justice would make the
company pay just taxes, while others have
said, "Bah! take whatever you can get "
We have only room now to say that we re-
gard the principle established by the deci-
sion as of far more value to the county and
State than the money itself. The judgment
affirmed is for S2S, ,070.75, divided as fol-
