A WISE MOVE BIZ THE CHANGERS

Our California exchanges are devot-
ing considerable attention to the con-
ference, recently held at Sacramento,
between the Executive Committee of
the Changers and the managers OF the
Central Pacific Railroad, with a view
to the amicable adjustment of ques-
tons requiring settlement, but mainly
for the purpose of enlisting the railway
in two extensive and apparently
well considered schemes of i'm
migration, which the Changers,
for some time past, have had in
contemplation. One of these is to IA
cilitate the settlement of unoccupied
lands by a thrifty farming population,
while the other looks to the introduce
ton from Europe of superior class of
labor which will add to the general
prosperity of the State. The details
are simple and comprehensive. 1t is
proposed, in the first place, to establish
an Immigrant Bureau, with head
quarters at San Francisco, the duty OF
which will be to furnish accurate IN
formation regarding eligible agricultu-
raj lands in all parts of the State.
Through the machinery of the
Grange, all such land will be carefully
registered, and the complete details
concerning price, situation, soil, eli
mate, transportation facilities, ETC., will
be collected for the use of the Central
Bureau. In connection with this, a
committee of Changers wll establish
communication with the Changers of
the Eastern and Western States. By
virtue of these arrangements, 1t is pro-
posed that the Central Pacific Railroad
shall run, atstated intervals, Granger
train from the East, to bring out such
immigrants as shall have placed them
selves under the care of the State or
ganization. Members of the Committee
on Immigration will accompany these
trains and see to the comfort and con-
venience of the immigrants, who, in
this case, it is anticipated, will
be mainly persons of sufficient
capital to purchase land on their arriv-
al and procure the necessary stock, etc.
The second enterprise contemplates the
importation from Europe of class of
hardy and industrious agricultural la
borers. The Company expect to make
arrangements by which immigrants of
this class will be brought from Bremen
to San Francisco at a rate not to ex-
coed SIS each for the whole trip. By
this means it is to be expected that in
the course of brief period enough of
hardy and industrious laborers can be
brought from Europe, not only to Ell.
bow out Chinese cheap labor alto
gether, but to add immensely to the in
dustrial wealth of the State at large.

what ..CoI." w. w Arnesf Told His
Friends when Efe Got Back 20 st.
Louisa Refreshing Statement.


Memphis Avalanche. r4ff
The following from the st. Louis
Journal of Monday is good reading.
The manner In which HCol. Arnett
must have he'd TO the reporter of that
paper is sad tothink of. The articleis:
"Col. Arnett, attorney -at-law, of this
city, returned this morning from Mem
phis, at which place he met with the
same mishap as the man who went down
into Jericho. He was arrested and re-
leased about FIVE times in that city, on
lot of trumped up charges, while
in the prosecution of his legal duties
for his clients, and because property
which had been replevined for his eli
ents was placed in his possession for
safe keeping until the trial should come
up for the rights of the property, he
was arrested and would have BEEN IN
carcerated in foul prison but for the
interferenceof the prosecuting attorney.
Then the brilliant officers of the law
demanded $4,000 bail, and, subse-
quently, upon his refusal to give bail
and daring them to imprison him. re-
leased him on his own recognizance.
This he refused to take advantage of.
and insisted on a nolle pros. of the
case, which was finally agreed to, and
he left forhome with flying colors, fully
satisfied that the laws of Tennessee, or
the manner of executing them, were
very defective"
Sol" Arnett may have been in The
discharge of his legal duties, but he
got them considerably mixed. He is
now indicted and under $4,000 bonds
to appear before the Criminal Court,
and answer to charges of horse steal
ing, three cases, and perjury one. The
bonds were originally fixed at $50, 1000;
but at the earnest solicitation of Gen.
Humes, of this city, who, as attorney,
afterwards went on his bond,
they were reduced to $4,000.
He never dared "the brilliant
officers" to send him to jail, but
begged piteously to be kept out of "the
foul prison. The statement about his
being released on hisown recognizance,
to which he would not consent, and
demanding nolle pros, which was
granted, is simply nonsense. Sol
Arnett would not have been allowed
to leave this city, had he not given a
good bond; and when wanted, if he is
not present, "the brilliant officers" will
send another brilliant" after him
with a requisition.

Tne hon. Geo- w. Cuftls, dls-
tinguished Republican orator, in a :
dressing political meeting on the
eve of election in the city of New
York, said:
81 am one of those Americans who
have learned by experience that when
ever an honest mans party deserts his
principles, the honest man deserts the
party, and, therefore, my young Re-
publican friends, and the older Re
pubHcans whom i do not address for the
first time, if you listen to me, exhort
every Republican. young and old, to
bolt and sacrifice every candidate whom
he believes to be bad man, and to de-
sert the party which insults the hon
esty. of man and the reputation of
woman by nominating unworthy men.
Acting on the sound principle of
'sdeserting the party which insults the
honesty of man." 50 many Republicans
have refused to go to thepolls, or voted
the Democratic ticket, as to work a
sudden and remarkable revolution in
the popular branch of the Federal
Government. Dishonesty, rotten and
incurable, is the most prominent char
acteristic of the Republican party. Its
Chief Magistrate takes double pay. and
spends one-third of his time in the
Executive Office.
sHonest laboring men all over the
country don't believein any such doings,
If the mercenary head of great party
is dishonest, what will its tail be? ''The
love of money is the root of all evil, -
and has filed Congress, the custom
houses, possibilities and internal revenue
departments with officials as unscrupu-
lous as Attorney General Williams,
whose injustice and tyranny reperhaps
best known. Military despotism
and shameless corruption, relying on
10000 negro votes for their enduring
support, have signally failed in land
where the press is free to proclaim the
truth. The people are honest, and
want honest men for their public SER
wants. In principle they are Demo
Gratis, and believe, with Thomas Jeffer-
son, that there is virtue in rotation in
Office. Republican craftsmanship,
with unlimited authority, has
prolonged and intensified civil war
fourteen years. During all this time,
taxes and impost duties have been OPP
pressive, decentralization widespread and
calamitous, and the benefits confined
to few bad men in Office, spectators
and bond-holders The obvious policy
of Grant aud his hackers, has been to
make the few rich, richer, and the many
poor, poorer. Double salaries to Office
holders, and half price for wheat and
cotton express the Radical programme.
Farmers dislike that extravaganza
which makes the Federal government
cost from eight to ten dollars head
for the entire population of forty mil
lion souls; and at the same time de-
presses the value of farms to less than
half their selling price eight years ago.
AS more than suggested by Mr.. Curtis,
"the honesty of man is insulted," and
the insult is resented.

THE ferceness of the feud between
the Cheatham and johnson Democrats,
IN 1872, cannot be better illustrated
than by comparing the vote received by
DR.. w. P. Jones at the election IN that
year, when, though pronounced Re-
publican, he was elected over John
Overton, one of the most popular Dem
ocrats in Davidson county, by LBS ma
jority, with his vote of the Sd inst,
when Maj. Wade's majority was 6O7.
This shows change of 2,S43 votes as
the result of the harmony and unity of
action which prevailed In the Demo
cratic ranks throughout the recent
canvass.

are regularly reported in its columns.
The price of the WEEKLY sun is one dol

WHAT does this cable story mean of
the Russian Gar being on particularly
warm terms with President Serrano of
the Spanish Republic? Is it merely a
Madrid counterblast to the recent
cablegram that the same sovereign was
hobnobbing with Don Carlos? Bis
marck should look into this matter.
The Autocrat may be trying to buy
out Serrano IN the interest of the Don.
Russian gold is as good as the German.
Between the two, Serrano has chance
