Tia, the sale il already IN .faii aoeomp'i,

vaiedietory Of IL retiring management
On Monday next the salutatory Of the
new propriston will Be given; the Rec
ord will DO merged with the Union. and
the material. ETC.. Of the former b re-
moved 10 the Union building.
The history Of the sale Of this once
prosperous and influential journal is
brief. II IL said TO DO a. follows: Tho
Central Pacific Railroad Company =
about 10 start rolling mills and engage
In the manufacture Of railroad rails and
other iron working. upon an extensive
scale. OF course, the location Of such
works In any city. would be OF value 10
is people. Sacramento bid for the To-
cation Of The mills. A committee Of her
prominent citizens went down to San
Frsncisco and interviewed President
Stanford ON the subject. He told thsm
that Sacramento must choose between the
rolling mills and the Sacramento Union;
that 10 the sentiments OF the people Of
Sacramento were those expressed
daily in the editorial columns OF
tho Union the railroad CON-
pany declined making any further in
vss.msnts in that city. Tho committee
returned to Sacramento. q public meet
ing was called. and some revolutions
very aaitsring to Stanford i Co.. were
adopted. Subsequently IL is said that
many advertisements were Withdrawn
from the Union by leading citizens, and
proportions wsro made by heavy own
crs Of real estate for It's purchase. The
Union propristors finding themselves
deserted by their old.tims friends. threw
up the sponge and agreed to the terms
proposed. These arc the main points
involved in the transaction.
With the subsistence OF the Union,
or rather Its change OF ownership and
combination with the Rsoori. the load
ing Dolly Warden paper in California
disappears. The few remaining jour
malls protesting the creed Of "I an
holisr than thou" IN not Of sufaciont
influence 70 aid in any great degree the
proposition Of the sorsheads TO break
up the Republican party by nominating
an Independent ticket. Tho Caa is a
first-class newspaper. but cit is said"
and cit is believed" have too much
control over its editorial columns to give
10 ito opinions or advice much weight
or influences. Tho BsLletia. the other

Democratic in its utteranees that II may
o. we'll DO chased with the Enaniner and
Pod. The country Dolly Warden press
10 very light indeed. From q Rspubli-
oan standpoint, then. We are inclined
TO believe that the transfer Of the Union
70 IL now management will provo =
blessing. We disagree with the Record
on many subjects, not the least Of which
Ia its subservisncy to the Central Pa
eiao Railroad and its fulsoms adulation
Of the managers Of that oppressive
monopoly. But its political u~tie~nees
have been those Of . staunch Republi-
can journal. and doubtless will continue
30. The Union has for two years used
Its constantly decreasing infuoncs
against the Republican party. 1t aided
the dsfeat Of that party in the last cam
paign. II had no reason for 40 doing
ssvs spite against Stanford and friend
ship for Booth. Neither personal
friendship nor hatred should have so in
fiusncsd the course Of such a journal rs
tho Union. We arc not sorry that its
career Is closed.
