A HARD IIIT.-Mr. Emerson, like Socrates,
prefers to obey bad laws, under protest,
rather than to defy his governments. His
friend Henry Thoreau, another of the Con-
cord philosophers, believed that it was his
duty to disobey bad laws SO in the days OF
slavery he refused to pay his tax and was sent
to Jail. Emerson, who had paid his taxes
under protest. called at the jail and, seeing
Thoreau, said, GLOW does it happen, Mr..
Thoreau, that find you here?" Thoreau,
little petularit, because Emerson. had taken
the easier way of squaring his conduct with
his conscience replied, g How does it happen,
Mr.. Emerson, that / don't find you here :"

THAT UNHOLY ALLIANCE.

That family jar that took at place
Virginia the other evening was the means
of letting the cat out of the bag respecting
the alliance that had been cooked up
between Sutro and the leaders of the
Democratic party in Storey county, and
we may, indeed, add of the State. This
association shows that there is some
thing rotten, and that in quarters hither-
to unsupported. Sutro and Williams, or
at any rate their papers, have been
throwing mud at each other for some
time. By what Kendall says, this must
have been all sham and merely in
tended to deceive the public; otherwise
why was it necessary to propitiate sutro
by not saying anything against him or
his tunnel at the Democratic meeting?
The whole thing has bad look and ap-
pears, to use slang phrase, like put
up job OF the character that unscrupu-
lous politicians SO often resort to. How
ever, We cannot but rejoice at the dis
covery OF the plot, for it will deprive the
Democratic candidates of hundreds OF
votes that otherwise might have sup.
ported their ticket. These men thought
when they gave their support to the
Democratic ticket that they Were
not aiding Sutro, and they will naturally
resent the artful deception that would
have caused them to unwittingly support
an adventurer that they despise.

RAILROAD RAMPAGEs.

The Sacramento Record is prognostl-
eating all sorts Of evils that will follow
in the train of any attempt to limit the
mower or resist the exactions of the rail-
road companies. So long as they
make their own rules and regula-
tions, accept or reject what responsibility
they please, arrange the scale of fares
and freights to suit themselves, make
what arrangements or combinations, one
with another, as to them may seem best,
SO long and no longer is the country
safe. Per contra, make any barrier
against or restrict their power in any
way, fix a maximum rate of Eares and
freights, ascertain and declare the re
sponsibi!ities that the railroads must as
sumo, and then the fat is in the fire o
once. The country will 60 to the dog

not like to learn the lesson. The dlscIl

But it is no use; all their resistance will

minds to submit to inevitable fate tn

VIZ had q call yesterday from John
Lauchly, one OF the Oldest California
miners now living, and genuine speci-
men of frontierman. He has been out
in Wyoming Territory prospecting, and
he tells some fabulous tales OF the gold
mines in that country, and were it not
for the fact that Lauchly is we'll known
to several OF the old residents here we
should be inclined to discredit HISTORIES.
He tells that he and four others struck
placer mines $50 miles north of Rawlings
Station, on the Union Pacific Railroad,
that will pay from five cents to fifty cents
to the pan. They attempted to work
the mines, and were run out by the Indi-
ans. He is now on his way to Califor-
MIA to raise company of miners strong
enough to stand the Indians off, and will
return with them in the Spring to the
diggincs. Humboldt Register, 8.
