THE CALIFORNIA SENATORsHIP.

The ball opened according 70 the
Congressional law with a ballot vester-
day. Our Geographic advice> give full
particulars of the result of this pre-
liminary skirmish. 1t will be seen
that there was no choice. Before en-
tering into details, however. it should
he stated that the Democrats had pre-
viously nominated. in caucus. Farley
for the long term and IIager for the
unexpired or the short term. The
Straight Republicans entered the fight
with McShatter as their candidate for
the long term, but put forward no one
for the unexpired term. Governor
Booth was, and is. Of course. the hope
of the independents. The aggregate
cote for each candidate in the two
houses was as follows: Booth. 56:
Farley, A.; McShafter. 20. The pres
ont Legislature of California is COM
posed of l20 members. Necessary t o a
choice. 81. 1t will therefore be OBJ
served that Governor Booth on the
first ballot was but five votes short of
an election. The wires say that his
friends are confident that he will sue
coed to-day without trouble. This
may or may not be true, but it is our
notion that the election will hang fire
for several days yet. As things now
look on the surface. however, it APP
pears thatsGovernor Booth has a long
way the best of the fight.
Hager, Cole, Goodwin, Swift, Lewis.
and perhaps some others. are in the
field for the short term. Harer. the
Democratic nominee. appears to be the
favOrite; at least he received nearly
three times as many votes as any of
his competitors. y private dispatch.
however, from one of the brightest
members of the Assembly, informs us
that the whole question is still much
mixed, and that no one can possibly
predic. the result. But we shall see

EUREKA DAILY SENTINEL.
WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER IL. 1874.
AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

We learn by telegraph that the Su-
preme Court of the United states yes
tardav decided that it is competent for
a State to levy and collect taxes from
all railroads passing through its terri
tory. In view of the position assumed
by some of the great trunk lines. nota-
bly, the Union and Central Pacific. that
the several States had no legal right
to tax them, this decision is II of
paramount importance. The case just
decided was against the Union Pacific.
and was taken to the supreme Court
from Lincoln county. Nebraska.
Judge Strong delivered the opinion,
holding that the taxing power of the
State is an attribute of sovereignty
that exists independent of the ConSti-
tuition of the United States. and not
derived from that instruments; and
that il may be exercised TO an unlimit-
ed extent on all property, trades, bust
ness and vocations existing or carried
on within the boundaries of the State.
The Court. therefore, SustainS the right
of the State of Nebraska to tax the
property of the Union Pacific Railroad
within its boundaries. Judge Bradley
read a dissenting opinion. in which he
was joined by Judge Field.
II will be remembered that the same
tribunal a few days ago held that the
States had the power TO regulate
frcights and fares within their limits.
With these tive decisions as the law of
the land. and the people thoroughly
aroused. it would seem that deliver
ance from the domination of unscrup-
ulous railroad autocrats was near At
hand. There is nothing in the way
nov to prevent any State from forcing
the railroads TO do the fair and equit-
able thing all around. OF course il,
will be necessary To see that the right
kind of men are selected to represent
the people in State Legislatures. This
done, and the Railroad question may
be satisfactorily adjusted.
