How to Encourage immigration.

The Post calls up the whole commu-
nifty to encourage immigration by
sending copies of the weekly issue of
that paper East. When we come to
analyze this appeal thequery presents
itself: How will mining stock puffs,
slings at the Call, Bulletin and Alta
and wild, impractical theories about
taxation encourage immigration. The
Post knows but little of and never
contains valuable information con-
cerning the agricultural resources of
the State. 1t has no knowledge of the
interior, and man might read it from
one years end to another and not find
where the good land of the State lies
nor what its products. We are sorry
that we cannot recommend the Post to
immigrant aid societies. In neglect
ing the interior the Post is not alone
among the San Francisco papers.
Nearly all of them are edited ON the
principle that the city comprises the
State and that the interior is a wilder
ness into which only hunters and sheep
growers ever penetrate. If those jour-
mails would lay aside their envious
chickering's, cease dishing up scandal,
devote less attention to getting up
mining stock excitements, and apply
more time to writing true descriptions
of the vast and varied resources of the
State, they would do something in
earnest toward spreading information
that would induce the coming here of
thousands of laboring men and women
just what the country needs to make
it the richest, best and most beautiful
place in the world.

The Railroad.

From information received from all
directions we are satisfied that the
little sectional jealousies have nearly
all passed away. 1t could not last
long among an intelligent people. The
great object of the Independence Road
is to connect the valleys on the coast
with the mining region. 1t makes but
little difference which town the bull
lion and ore passes by on its way to
the sea, for 1t will go to the sea and it
will not benefit anybody to look at it
as it passes down. Bnt if the road
passes anywhere through the valley it
will benefit everyone by the market it
will open, for the sale of all we can
produce in our farms and orchards
and gardens at nearly double the
price we pow get If the farmers of
the valley are prosperous, the mer-
chants, the mechanics, the teachers,
the stock raisers and everybody else
will be prosperous-every town and
village in the valley will prosper. We
are glad the people begin to look at it
in the proper light.

The Political Tendency.

The traditional political pot is just
beginning to simmer, under the in
fiuence of the little flame that has
been blown beneath it by those office
seekers who believe it is the early
bird that catches the worm. AS the
force of blowers increase the cauldron
will boil more fiercely by and by, and
many things will come to the surface
of which the innocent, unsophisti-
Gated world now wots not of The
present tendency of the people is to-
ward Democracy. The remembrance
that the good old days of prosperity
were under Democratic rule has given
birth to the thought that return to
that rule may renew the happy, peace
full days of yore. While gazing at the
golden-tinted panorama Of the far
away past, the people forget to read
the few pages of history on which are
recorded in the name of Democracy
the deeds of the nearer past. They are
thinking of the days when their repre-
sentatives were honest and when fru-
gality and regard for the welfare of
the people prevailed in the Nations
Capitol, and when they compare those
days with the dark and unhappy pic
ture of the present, they remember
that all the light and sunshine was
during Democratic days, and all the
cloud and shadow under the adminls-
tration of another party. Careful
study of the present and calm retro
spect of the past is tdrning the people
toward Democracy, and causing them
to wonder if the re-establishment Of
those principles will bring back the
sunshine snd the light. The princi-
Piles, YES; but they must be acted upon,
not ealked about. There is all the diff
erence in the world between Demo
cratic principles and the men who
thrust themselves forward as Demo-
cratic leaders. If the people can Sc
cure the one and free themselves of
the other, the golden days will come
again and all will be well. Democratic
principles are as pure to-day as they
were in the days of JEFFERSON and
MADISON, and their honest ministra-
ton will make the nation again happy
and prosperous. The great problem
the people are now trying to solve is
to find public servants who will be
guided by those principles. Here in
California the tendency toward DEM
ocracy is daily growing stronger, and
the people seem inclined to renew
their faith in the Democratic party.

The Religious War i'm Mexico.

City OF MEXICO, February 15th.-
The religious troubles in Acapulco,
which resulted short time ago in
the expulsion of Sisters of Charity
from the country, are increasing. It is
stated that the Government has is
sued orders directing the troops to
proceed against all persons of insti-
eating disturbances.
Rev. John Forwards, of the Ameri-
can Board of Foreign Missions, arrived
here on Wednesday, on his way West
to take the place of Rev. G. M. Steph-
ems, of the Board, who was assassi-
mated in March of last year. The priest
who was accused of completely in the
murder, was tried and acquitted. The
controversy over religious troubles has
extended to the press, where it wakes
very warm.
The Trait az Union (Catholic) says
one OF the errors of the Liberal party
is to seek, by hatred of Catholicism, to
extlnguish completely the religious
sentiments of the masses. Protestant
Ism as well as Catholicism, does not
admit of free thought.
On the other hand, the TsUo Repub-
hcs (LiberaD, in speaking of the Lib
erals, says that while they tear down
the influence of ihe Catholic Church
they do nothing toward building up
any other religion.

SAN Francisco Items.

SAN Francisco, March 9th.-The
Board of Education held an open
meeting last night and continued the
Investigation Of charges of corrupt
practices in the appointment of school
teachers. The number of witnesses
examined, included teachers, janitors
and truant officers. The testimony
goes to show that several teachers
have paid sums of money and notes to
Stewart, the Cosmopolitan Hotel
waiter, and Owens the janitor; but it
is not shown that any money found its
way to members Of the Board. Stew
art and Owens received and retained
it all, and in return used their interest
with citizens who had influence with
the Board to procure the appointments
desired. The Board adjourned till
next Friday, when the Investigation
will be continued.
The trial of Thes. Nolan for the
murder of Maggie O'Connor, woman
of the town, last August, was begun
yesterday in the Fifteenth District
Court. The woman fell or was thrown
from balcony in Bull Run Alley,
breaking her neck. The Coroner's
Jury brought in verdict of accidental
death, but the Grand Jury subsequent
ly indicted Nolan. Most of the wit
nesses are of notorious reputation,
Barbara. Coast pirates, and there will
probably be some hard swearing and
tangled testimony.

;ITY AND COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
WEDNESDAY, ,..... MARCH 10, 1875.
Rumored Sale of the "BulIetin. y

The rumor is current In San Fran
cisco-made current by several jour
nails with whom the wish is father to
the thought-that the Bulletin is about
to follow the way of the Sacramento
Union-that it is soon to become the
property of the Central Pacific Rail-
road Company. 1t is proper to say
that this rumor was placed in circula-
tion by the Post and Chronicle-two
papers whose hatred of the Bulletin is
stronger than their love of the truth,
and therefore unless the report is sus-
tanned by other and more reliable evil
dence, it will carry no great weight
with those who are familiar with the
surrounding circumstances. 1t is
hardly probable that the Bulletin is
for sale on terms acceptable to the
railroad company. The great corpora
tion is planning gigantic schemes, in
the accomplishment of which it will
overcome all opposition. 1t would not
hesitate to purchase one or a dozen
newspapers if they stood in the way of
it's purpose. But does the Ruttetin bar
their progress? We doubt it. It is
not large enough; does not reach far
enough or deep enough nor strike hard
enough. The Bulletin does not hurt
the railroad company and cannot de-
feat single purpose they have in
view. Until further evidence is Of
fered, we shall not accept the story of
the Chronicle and Post that BoRUCK
is about to purchase the Bulletin for
the Central Pacific Railroad Company.

But for want of a nail the shoe, horse
and rider were lost, and so for want Of
honest, capable leaders, who will ad-
here to the old Democratic principles,
the peoples faith may be again de-
stroyed, and the wished for golden
days never regained. Let us hope
that the cauldron may bubble few
old time honest men to the surface.
