Railroad Discrimination.

Not great while ago we heard
we'll informed, thinking gentleman
remark, that if the junction of the
Central Pacific and Union Pacific Rail
roads had been made on the summit
ofthe Sierra Nevada, San Francisco
would have been bankrupt. 1t is a
strong expression, perhaps little too
strong, but it contains the truth. If
the junction had been made at the
point named San Francisco's trade
over the railroad would have extend
ed to the summit of the Sierras and
not one mile farther. In speech de-
livered in this city some weeks ago,
Tom. FITCH asserted that Ogden, the
point of junction of the two roads, was
the fartherest point East to which San
Francisco shipped goods and that the
first camp East of Ogden received its
merchandise from Omaha or Chicago
This is the result of a rule Of trade

corporation to make the most of their
advantages. The cry Of discrimiEa-
ton raised against the Central Pacific
Railroad is the murmur of locality,
and here and there town or camp is
made to feel the power of corporation;
but the discrimination Of the road is
the gain of the Pacific coast. If the
Union Pacific had met the Central Pa
cific at Truckee every dollars worth of
the enormous trade of Nevada now en-
ioyed by San Francisco would have
become the heritage of Chicago. This
is railroad discrimination-the dis
elimination of the owners tor the in
crease of their own profits. 1t is a
principle of trade as fixed and un-
changeable as the laws of the Medes
and Persians. This inevitable result
should receive the consideration OF
those of our citizens who are so ear
nest and uncompromsing in their de-
mand that the southern overland road
shall be built and run by an Eastern
Company. We must not lose sight OF
the fact that Mr.. Tom. SCOTT stated
before the House committee that his
object in obtaining national aid for the
construction of road from ocean to
ocean was to draw the trade of the Pa
cific coast and of New Mexico to the
East. He virtually admitted that ifhe
once obtained control of a road extend.
ing from one side of the continent te
the other, he would discriminate
against the West and force us to draw
our supplies from the East, thereby
increasing the profits of his road

WASHINGTON, August 16th.- Ar

The steamer Oetavia.
WARRINGTON, August 10Th. There
is no doubt entertained in Govern
ment circles as to the character of the
steamer Octavia, and that she is by
this time in the hands of the Cuban
Insurgents. From expressions that
have been dropped by Government
officials it is evident that they are
glad she has left our shores. No in
formation has been received at either
the State or Treasury Departments of
the Octavia since Friday. A recent
letter from Havana shows that the
cargo of the Laura Price, lately seized
in Haytien waters at the request of
the Spanish authorities, consisted of
arms and munitions of war for the
Insurgents, which was to have been
transferred to the Octavia, to be run
into Cuban port.

soil what they expected, after reading
Nordhoff's brilliant descriptions, and
are now bitter In their denunciations OF
what they term the deception practiced
by him in the interest of the railroads
and California land monopolists. Busi-
ness of all kinds seems to be quite as
over-crowded as in the old States, and
the lands are in the hands of few
men, in whose power one must entirely
put himself in purchasing If he has not
the money to fully pay as he goes: The
climate does not especially please this
writer, who is Cincinnatian. he says:
"Even during what is called the dry sea-
son the nights are damp and cold, and
in the morning the fog is so heavy that
one is not comfortable without an over
coat. The climate may be good for in
valids-the residents so claim-but l
can not conceive Of a disease that would
not be aggravated In such country"
The vegetation is described as fully
equaling that described by Nordnoff.
"Imagine," he writes, ''fuchsias ten feet
high, and geraniums larger than a sun
flower ever grew in Ohio, and you have
a picture of our flowers" The table
vegetables and fruits, he claims,
while large and tempting in ap.
pearance, have not the delicate
flavor of those. Of the Ohio valley,
some of them being almost tasteless.
Altogether the letter is curiosity, be-
ing the other side of the California pic
ture. While some allowances are doubt
less to be made for the disappointed state
Of mind of the writer, it is doubtless in
the main fair statement of things, as
found by one not emDued with the
enthusiasm of the tourists, but who had
to meet the hard matter-of-fact side oflife,
which is after all pretty much the same
in Southern California as at other places.
His conclusion is that man comforta-
bly, fixed in Ohio or Kentucky will not
be very likely to better his condition by
pulling up and taking new chances in
the Tar West.
