to push huge jobs through Congress,
which jobs Casserley vehcmently op-
posed. Another senatorial aspirant
looms up in Governor Booth who was
elected by the Republican party, but
has proclaimed it "moribund'' and
left it. He opposes the railroad mo.
nopoly.
When the nominating conventions
met in San Francisco. the railroad
men worked live BEAVERS to secure
their men in both tparties, and sue
ceedcd. This bditg discovered, there
was a boiling tioket nominated by
each party, so that four tickets were
run'in San Francisco in tho last clcc-
ton. All over the State the fight
was monopoly and ahti-monopoly.-
The latter has been Victorious, and
either Cdsserley or Booth will be
elected senator as the Democrats or
Republicans carry tiio Logislatutc.-
In California, ais III illinois the rail.
roads have bech defeated by the pco.
,plo. We trust'thdt the struggle will
nos be carried too far. Tho annexed
extract will show that the Central
Pacific Road richly DESERVES feat.
Its object is to absorb the tfhd!e Of
California.
"To understand the feeling Of tho
people it is only necessary to state
what pretcnsions they contshl against;
In fact, tho Central Tactic Rnilroad
holds control over tho political and
business interests of California. AZ
ter the road was completed the com.
pany, with the aid of the surplus
'unds, began system of absorpt,op,
taking into its ample embrace ali the
mailer roads in the State, until now
iatWers, merchants and travcle y and
ali Who depend on railroad facilities
are completely at its mercy. It.
patronage is extensive, and it can
either Hitter or threaten, as its inter.
ests dictate. Mere than this, it HIS
latcl y placed itself beyond the juris-
dietion of tho State authorities, if,
indeed, it did not control them, for it
has utterly refused to pay tuxos that
have been levied; aud it is yer,
doubtful if Stanford would rccvgaize
the authority of the judiciary. Stan
ford declares that the State has No
tight to control a company chartered
oy Congress-, holding its franchises
from the general government. The

The Unlyorsit.y.

We call tho attention of our read
srs to tho communication upon the
State University. 1t will be secl
that several changes have been intro
luced by which the system is much
improved. The institution now com
lines the features both OF d college
md university, in having n regular
curriculum, and in also pei mitting
he student to study with a vicw to
nc peculiar profession he may wish
o adopt. Another IMPORTANT fea-
'ure is the Inauguration Of a prepara.
iory school. This will act as feeder
20 the University proper, and will be
f groat assistance in accustomine
tho pupil to the ways of the Univorsi
ty and the aystcm of insti otion.
But tho most attractive feature IN
nc whole plan is the abolition of all
tuition fees. A free University is
something new, found in but few
States. 1t is the keystone of the
'rch of free education. This is q
great dcsidcratum. Heretofore cdu u
cation has been too expensive. Now
it is brought within reach of almost
oyery one.
W!tli those attractive features the
University should succeed.
We have given it as our opinion
that the failure Of the University in
tho past few yoars is caused by the
fact that thcro arc several new pro.
fessors of whom tho people know
nothing. These new professors must
exert themselves to win tho confidence
If patrons. Wo are happy to see
that they seem to be interesting
themselves in building up this old
institution; and bid thom "Go
speed" An institution Of learning
should bo above politics. Give the
conservative element somo of the
trustees and they will have confidence
in it. Keep the races separate. :: The
system is working admirably Of Civ

gendcred, ind the schools arc doing
good. In tho same Way lot tho col.
ored people have ClaAin, and give
the whites theft old a'nta mat,t, en-
dcarcd to taom ty manly associations.
If thore be any attempt to mix the
races, the whites will withdraw and
tho university will fail. If more
prudent policy prevail, tho University
will prosper.

.sno result might have been different.
This may not be true, yot at any rate
The lives Of many heroes might have
eeen spared by this measure.
What was Mr.: Davis offence? lie
declared that tho lost cause was still
cherished in the breasts of many, AMI
that he looked to the noble women 0 f
the South to perpetuato its principles.
In no place did he say that the South
would rise in arms against the bcneG-
cent government Of the United States
lt.wou;ld be disgraccful for tao people
Of the South to forgot the lost cause
or the ber6Gs who fell in its behalf.
They can inourh over hopes forever
departed and yet remain law abiding
oiizens. More than this, tn North
must not require. We will not &C
knowledge that VIC cohiait.ed il crime
in our acts of secession. The crime
consisted in having but eight millions
against twenty millions. l'Lad suc~
cess crowned our efforts we would
haye been. applauded.
Might nis not always right. No
crime was committed by the Spartan
three hundred when they fell to a
man, resisting the invasion of Xsrxos.
The South CON mitted no crime in
suffering an overwhelming defeat.
She luil down her arms and SUBJ
mittcd, and there never will again
ee revolution attempted by her.
But at the same time she shows no
repentance. Sho has found to her
Y,ost that She had not power sufficient
to enforce her principles, and she
yielded. That isnll.
We hear continued cries about sub.
mission. What have these availcd
Us? In 1865 Grant was elected by a
comparatively small majority of the
popular vote. Ia 1872 he walked
over the course with scarcely any op-
position. The extreme Radical putty,
tho haters of the South, wore never
stronger than at the last elcction.-
Tno North has no idea of becoming
rcconciled to the South. For eight
years have wc behold the spectacle Of
a suppliant Lending fore a naughty
and .tyrannical ruler, and being dis
dainfully rcpulscd, and degraded.-
When we SEQ that submissi ~ on our
part bstters our condition, We will be
willing to dcnouncc Mr.. Davis or any
me else maintaining his sentiments.
Until then, we will suffer every man
so entertain his opinions and express
hem freely, believing that they. can
excite no creator hostility or the part
f the North to the whites of the
South than already exists. If it
