Colonel Stevenson of Solano appear
ed and made a statement relative to
the road from Vaca Station to Vaca-
vile. He said: We take freight
through to San Francisco for So, and
all ale satisfied with it. Under Free
mans bill we would get but LIZ cents
a ton, and it is worth at least half a
dollar to handle it. We carry about
5000, 900 pounds q season. 1t is worth
more to load fruit than grain. The
road is built to accommodate these
fruit men, and it connects with the
California Pacific at Vaca Station, and
the loaded cars are taken on their reg
ular trains. The main grumblers are
those who sit around the stoves and do
very little business with the road.
We charge so cents for passengers, and
Freeman's bill allows us but 20 cents.
That road belongs to private individ-
uals. 1t pays expenses now, but was
once sold for. taxes.
The committee then adjourned to
meet at the call of the President. 1t
will certainly meet on next Thursday
evening, and the chairman desired the
reporters to state that persons who
have any complaints to make for i'm
proper conduct on the part of the rail-
road company are invited to come be-
fore the committee and make a state
ment.
Stanford stated that he desired par
ticularly that those who accused the
company of discrimination should
come, as the company denied that
there was any discrimination.

The Railroad Side Of the Question.

The Sacramento Union of the 18th
gives report of the meeting of the
. Committee or Corporations on the pre-
vious night:
The committee was full, and a few
outsiders were present. The railroad
company was represented by Leland
Stanford in the main, and Superin-
tendent Towne, Montague, Grey,
Hyde, and others connected with the
company, were also in attendance.
Several newspaper reporters, and two
shorthand reporters of the railroad
company, were present.
The Chairman, Farley, stated that
one question that must be settled is,
whether the newspaper reporters
should be allowed to remain in the
room, and referred in unnecessarily
severe terms to the illusions made in
some of the papers to the "clOsed
door, meeting of the committee held
last Thursday night. He had no OBJ
lection to the reporters remaining, but
desired them to make fair reports.
IWho had done otherwise?] The other
members expressed the same feeling,
and the reporters were not disturbed.
Farley stated that Assemblyman
Freeman had been invited to be pres
ent, and another invitation was sent
to him, but he failed to come.
Stanford being invited to express
his views, said ~ was in hopes, Mr.;
Chairman, that before we proceeded
we should be able to hear some reasons
advanced in favor of the bill TO change
the present rates of freights and fares,
There are several reasons why Mr..
Freeman,s bill, so called, should not
become o law, and that the law under
which the various railroad companies
of the State were organized should not
be changed, unless to remove certain
restrictment hat are manifest. Rail-
roading in the State of California, all
things considered, is the cheapest rail-
roading in the world. 1t is the cheap
est in the United States, and railroad
ing in the United States is the cheap
est in the world. There ought to be
some changes, which would be an ad-
vantage to the railroad companies and
to the people, to remove some restric-
tions that now exist; but still, as it is,
the people can get along tolerably
we'll. There is no discrimination, and
never has been. 1t would not be toll

an Northumberland am confident that
ifby any chance there was such case,
L, that so FAR as it can come before the
Committee we shall show that It Ia
mere q mistake Of some clerk, and not
admissible under the rules of the COM
pany, and that generally the rules OF
the company are fair and just; and are
made not only for the protection of the
railroad company but for the protec-
ton Of the people also, and that they
are necessary for the protection OF the
people. / will not extend these re-

formances. Speaking of this u Now
York correspondent of the 81. Louis
Republican, says he Is reminded Of an
old man up In Connecticut who had Il
cranky wife, who regularly got up Ia
the night once week and invited the
family to see her die. She gave way
her things, spoke her last words, made
her peace with heaven, and then In
the morning she got up in the usual
way and disappointed everybody by
going ut her household duties ny II
nothing had happened, The old man
got sick of it finally, and purchased Il
coffin, n cashmere shroud, II wreath OF
immortelles with Farewell, Mary
Ann,n worked in, and n handful OF
silver plated screws. Laying the
screw driver beside the collection, he
invited her to just holler die once
more. "Do it," said he, "and in you
90, and this farewell business is over,
Mary Ann is at this moment caring
for a large and admiring family, while

GERMANY.

BERLIN, April /.
Herr Lucius, of Erfurt, one of the two depu-
ties who lately had a conversation with Prince
Bismarck, publishes to-day a correction of the
report thereon which had appeared in several
Berlin journals. The substance of this CONVEX
s%ation, as it appeared in the papers, was at the
outset regarded as apocryphal in well-informed
circles. Herr Lucius states that he found the
Prince more weakened and altered than he had
expected. The physicians had held out hopes
that the Prince would be able to visit a water
ing place about the middle of June, but no
idea whatever could be entertained of his re-
suming his official duties prior to that date.
The Prince expressed in strong terms his dissa-
tisfaction at the course affairs were taking, and
declared his intention of very shortly giving in
his resignation, stating that he had no longer
sufficient physical strength to cope with the
official worry of the preparatory stages Of the
Army Bill, and the difficulties arising from the
fuctuating majority in the Reichstag.
