The d~isgraceful war between the
Chronicle and Sun OF San Francisco,
still continues. The articles out OF
which grew this dirty, scsndalous and
unnecessary squsbble, were not only
u~ncalied for, but In no sense ft tor
publication. Tho Chronicle began the
quarrel by . scurrilous personal attack
upon q former employee. That person,
as editor OF the Sun, replied la q slml-
lar. yet sill more disgusting strain OF
personal abuse. The Chroaiele propri-
etors next resorted to the law and to
blows. The Sun proprietor, editor
and competitors were arrested. Yes
terday several attempts were made by
the De- oungs to assasslnate the SIN
editor. Numerous criminal suits have
been commenced, the journalism OF
the coast dlsgrsced, and the end Is not
yet. The whole affair from first to
last IL scandslous aud utterly indsfensi-
BILE. We have no sympathy for any
parties to this quarrel and certainly
not for the Chroaiele proprietors, who
commenced the dirty squsbble by n
vile personal attack, the result Of
which. thus far, Il not only ~nauscatihg
but natural.

Another Credit Mobllier Arrange msnt
Of the Union Pacific Railroad.
Prom the San Francisco pulletin.]

~
The Union Pacific Railroad has al
ways had n stock jobblng character.
Il iias always been managed by a sue.
cession of spectators. AZ n conse-
quence, 1t Is u lsaky concern. II could
not keep It's secrets, and exploded n
short time ago In Congress In tile mat
ter OF Its Credit Mobllier. But for all
the confusion, a stroke Of genius Is
now and then revealed.
The Union Pacific Is organized under
a law OF Congress. aud has Govern.
ment Directors. These officials at this
time are made to revolye at q great
distance from the centre OF power In
the Union Pacific. That concern does
not expect to be able to get anything
more out OF the Government. All the
use II has now for the Government 10
to keep 1t at arms length. tdoe, not
want any very close prying into It's al
fairs. Especially, It does not want
Government Directors noslng around.
These officials, under these clrcum-
stances, are forced to wander about
But In a recent trip they came upon
the Wyoming Coal Company. The
Wyoming Coal Company supplies tie
Union Pacific with all Its coal. The
Government Directors thought that
they might be able to get the data for
some Important figuring II they could
obtain the price which the Union Pa
ciHc pays for Its coal. They wrote &C.
cordingly to the President OF the Wy
oming Coal Company, but he referred
them TO another official, and lie agaln
10 a third, and so on. without results.
No Idea of the price which tho coal
was charging could be OBJ
tanned, and for the very good reason
that the Union Pacific Il the Wyoming
Coal Company. II Is selling coal to
Itself at figures which preclude the
Idea OF Its paying the Interest on the
Government bonds.
This Is one Of the neatest contrlv-
ances In the railroad line that we have
for a long time come across. IL the
Union Pacific was held up well by the
head, II might In time rival the Cen-
trail Pacific. There Is q certain order
OF genius In this arrangement. IL may
be used not only to show the Govern.
ment that money Is not as plentiful as
might DO supposed In the Union Pa
ellie Golfers, but to enrich the inside
ring ut the expense Of the general
stockholders. A railroad which can
convert itself into n coal company at a
moments notice Is n railroad that can
make a great deal Of money for some-
body. but after all n railroad playing
coal merchant Is only an adaptation.
The Central Pacific, letting out con.
tracts to the Contract aud Finance
was the great original.

A STRANGE ATTITUDE.

Senator Morton, Of Indiana, will
gain no lsurels by his sulogy OF Kel-
logg and his Legislature In the United
States Senate yesterday. IL IL gen.
orally recognized BY the country that
the present rule In Louisiana Is not
only against the wishes and votes Of
the majority Of her best citizens, but
is moreover the direct result OF an in-
famous order, issued by . still more
Infamous judge, who IL wen now un-
der menace OF impeachment. We
have never blamed President Grant for
sending troops to Louisiana to sustain
the orders Of Judge Dursll, and there
BY the Kellogg usurpstion. lie could do
nothing less under his oath than to
enforce tho DEGREES Of United States
Court. But what shall be said Of a
Republican Senator, who. In the face
Of . majority report OF committee
composed mainly Of Republlcans-in
the face also Of facts damnlng and dis
graceful not only to the Kellogg Gov
eminent, but to the party In whose
name these frauds were perpetrated-
will stand up before tho country and
declare that although they lths kel-
logg party In Loulslanal had com-
mitted frauds. they shosld still be al
lowed to govern, and . new election
should not be granted? II this Is not
monstrous doctrine, where shall it be
found, II q party or faction, whose
claim to power. Is by the admission OF
Its advocates and apologlsts, founded

rule pcrpctuated, where Is = Repub-
licsn system OF Government to be
found In Louisiana? IL 10 not there
In existence. Senator Morton Is a
mooted candidate for President In 1875.
lie has In general proved himself both
fair and honorable, but the expression
Of such sentiments as we hare quoted,
his attitude In relation to this Louis
lana matter will DO to his aspirations
a death blow. No man a receive

NEW ESGLASD generally. and some

troubled over the selection Of Saratoga
Lake as the place for holding the next
college regatta. The shrewd Mr. Nor
rissey offered 5000 for the regasts

caused the proposition to be rejected.
This year he keeps In the background,

pay all expenses and provide unusual

regatta will attract thousands OF peo-
plc to Saratoga and afford great licen'e
aud chance for profit to the gambling
