RAILROAD RIGHTS.

The Sacramento Record, railroad
organ or mouth piece, or whatever it is, is
wailing sadly respecting the grievances
and injuries to which railroads are sub.
jected. 1t makes very long face, and
with sanctimonious air, talks about the
rights OF property and validity of con-
tracts, and SO on. That is ali very well
so far as it goes, but it does not go far
enough. 1t merely states one side of
the question, and that not fairly or cor
rectly. The acknowledged rights of prop
erty as well as of persons are and should
be sacred, otherwise no man would be safe
in the possession of the results of his
exertIons, and the incentive to industry
would in great measure be destroyed
All this is conceded, but does not state
the position Of the railroads with any
reasonable degree of correctness. If
they had been constructed by private
enterprise and capital, asking for no
special privileges or assistance, and pay.
ing for all they got, then indeed the
arguments OF our California namesake
might have some weight. That, how
ever, is not the case. From the first the
railroads have been asking for some
thing for which they return no equva-
lent, and did so on the ground that the
establishment of more speedy and GER
tain means of communication was
benefit to the country. The plea was
recognized aud the privileges and assist
ance asked for were granted and these
undertakings were commenced and
completed. The railroad men, now
that they have grown powerful and
wealthy, like all other Upstairs,
spurn the means by which they became
rich, insult their benefactors, and assert
that all they have got is their own and
the public have no rights or say so in
the matter. This style of argument
will not do. All that most of the
railroads have, has been the free
gift of the people. They have
been presented with the right of way,
with lands, with subsidies sufficient to
build their roads without expanding a
dollar Of their own means, and still
they ara not satisfied because the people
will not quietly submit TO be robbed by
corporations that were only created by |
special favor Of the public. The end of
this matter will be that railroad men.

CORRESPONDENTS.

Our young friend James F. Wilkin,
who is now in San Francisco, attending
to his studies at Heald's Business Col
lege, sent us long and pleasant letter
relative to his impressions be received on
the route, and at his destination. The
letter is too lengthy for insertion in our
limited space, but we published a few
extracts, and shall always be glad to hear
from Mr.. Wilkin. Speaking of Hamil-
ton. he says: Ie
Hamilton is certainly dilapitated
looking town. The fire did not leave
many buildings standing. 1t was not
like Phoebe, there was nothing to
build the town up on, and cons, quently
you eau See ruins on all sides of the
streets, and desolation appears TO reign
supreme. There was some talk of the
Alattlson furnaces starting up, and il
they prove success White Piue is all
right.
When reached Eureka nearly every
man met WAS an old Piocher. Some
had bettered their condition by leaving
Phoebe, and some had not. Ike Philips
and Louis Solomon are keeping a saloon
and cigar store, aud are doing well. The
first man that attracted my attention
after arriving at Eureka, WAS Sheriff
Travis selling cayuss horses, and sell
th' IN he did to good advantage. Your
old friend John Maguire was in Eureka
with theater company, waiting for the
Eureka and Palissde Railroad TO take
him away. AL. Leathers is in Eureka
and Professor Walker and John Dulea.
an old resident of Phoebe and many
others.
Of Sacramento, Mr.. Wilkin says:
The capital of the Golden State is a
line town, and all the country around is
covered in with evergreens and trees.
After leaving Sacramento we were in a
continuous valley covered with wheat.
The famous San joaquin Valley wheat
was on all sides of us--down in the val
ley and up in the mountains at an eleva-
ton OF several hundred feet.
At San Francisco the new hotel and
the pavilion for the Mechanics Fair,
seems to have epgrossed our young
friends attention. He also mentions Mr..
Wallace.
The Palace Hotel ISIS monstrous build

The new hotel fronts on Market street
375 feet, on New Montgomery street 375,
and on Jessie street 375. 1t will be si1

chanics Fair is going to be held in is on
Mission street, and is said to be the larg.
