G. p. r. r. vs.. PEOPLE OF PLACER co.
The following is the mandate of the Su-
preme Court of the United States in the
above case. The decision was against the
company, but it asked for dismissal at its
own costs to save the point to fight us for
two or three years more. Had the road
been assessed at its full cash value in 1868,
Placer would now receive some fifty thou
sand dollars in gold instead of about one
quarter of that amount. Now what have
the apologists of this monopoly to say to the
persistent stand the HERALD has always Ia
ken in this matter. Where are the fellows
that wanted to compromise with the COM
pany that in hand, saying "wl your lord
ship, Gov. Stanford, condescend to pay us
about onc-tenth of the taxes you justly
owe?" Our motto is ask for nothing but
what is right and submit to nothing that is
wrong God loves brave and just people;
the sinks, the dishonest and the lukewarm
he spews out of bis mouth. We suppose
our Asse ssors will feel bound to return The
road this year at at least $25 1000 per mile
