The FooTHILLs AND MOUNTAIN CouN-
T1Es.-The counties lying along the base
of the Sierra Nevada mountain. and ex-
tending to their SUBMITS. are generally
called tho foothill and mountain counties
These are Plumas, Sierra, Nevada,
Placer, Ell Dorado, Amador, Alpine,
Calaveras, Tuolumne, Mariposa, Mono,
and Inyo. These counties contain by
far the largest part Of the gold mines of
the State. and some of its bests VINEYARDS
and orchards. and embrace within their
area the largest and best vine growing
country in the world. They are but
sparsly inhabited, and contain mora
public land subject to settlement than
any other section. Some of the mcst
profitable diaries in the State are also
located in these counties. For fruit of
all kinds they are unsurpassed. They
are well watrred, and are susceptible of
being made tho most delightful portion
of the State.

For want of something better to do. we sup
pose, the yirgini. Enterpriseis singing the
praises of Boss Shepherd. of Washington, who.
if he had his deserts. ought 20 be Eeering COM
pany with Tweed--PiOcte Record.
What is your authority for that last
assertion. Mr.. Record2 II Shepberd is
guilty of any offense, why does rot
some public spirited citizen of Wash
ingtnn take means to have him IndIct-
ed and tried? The fact that the New
York Stta saws he is dishonest proves
nothing, for the Sun is a dishonest
journal The fact that the Associated
Press has followed in the lead of the
SIN and uttered the same howl is no
more assurance that it is true than is
the max ed assertion of the Phoebe Record
in a matter of which it knows nothing.
Please tell US what you know of Shep-
herd, or keep stilI.-ERterpriSe.
Speaking of Governor Shepherd, we
beg leave to call attention to the fact
that in a hook of more than two
thousand pages, in which all the par
ticulars of the Shepherd investigation
by Congress are set forth, there is not
one line of evidence casting suspicion
upon his honesty; not a line which
points to any culpable act OF his;
not a word which would place spot
upon the most sensitive character i'll
existence. AS a Shrewd observer has
said, "the Democratic party needed a
Republican Tweed, and they appointed
Shepherd; and Republican Congress
was cowardly esough TO confirm the
appointment" Shepherd is victim
of the pusiIlanimity of Republicans.
He is as upright citizen as ever lived ;
and he is as able a man as walks the
avenues of the National Capital.

A FASHIONABLE DRIvE.-The rapid
growth of our city the past few years, and
the crowded condition, at the present tine,
Of our two principal streets, have rendered
driving ON the Avenue and Pecan street,
for pleasure, almost out Of the question,
and those who are fond of riding have to
seek the more remote confines of our city
and the pure breezes of the country
Would it not be well for our City Council
to appoint a committee to make some OBJ
servations about the city, and ascertain
what streets are best adapted TO be con-
verted into a public drive. With very
little expense, perhaps, some of the streets
could be SO improved as to give US pleas
ant drive that would embrace a complete
circuit around the city-say beginning
back of the Capitol few blocks, thence
east to East Avenue in the vicinity of the
Blind Asylum, thence south on East Ave
nue. 70 the vicinity of the barracks, thence
west say along Cypress street, recently
graded in very creditahle manner, to the
intersection of Rio Grande street, now be-
ing graded and raised, in the vicinity of
the old Robinson residence, and thence
north in the direction Of the Lunatic Asy-
lum and the fair grounds. Certainly the
capital Of the State ought to have fine
drive, and we would like to see immediate
steps taken to that end.

FREIoHTs. The freight on barrel of
flour from st. Louis to the city of Houston,
the favored metropolis of the Texas Cen
trail Railroad, Is one dollar, while every
barrel OF -four laid down in this city and
consumed by the people of Western Texas
costs seventy-fve cents more. By the In
tornational route Austin is much nearer St.
Louis than is Houston by the Texas Cen
trai aud Missouri, Kansas and Texas route,
or any other; so it is safe to predict that
the completion of the International to this
city will be saving to the consumers
Of this section of the State ofsat least
one dollar on every barrel of flour, and
everything else in proportion. And when the
International reaches San Antonio, the saw
ing in frcishts to the people of that de-
lightful section of our State will be still
greater. Members who have opposed the
international compromise bill can console
themselves that il they are returned to the
Legislature next winter, after the compile
ton Of the International to the capital OF
the State, their hash bills will be materi-
ally curtailed. II railroads cost in one way,
they are certainly direct and important
saving in another.

DEGREss V. HUBBARD 81 A-Tb

DRGREss V. HUBBARD IL AL.-Tbe
case OF DeGress v. HoIlingsworth, Lieuten-
ant Governor Hubbard and Hon. Guy n.
Bryan and s. Darden, State Comptroller,
was argued in the district court here, Thurs
day, and resulted in a judgment against
the plaintiff on demurrer to the petition.
The question involved was whether DeGress
was, on the sixteenth day Of February last,
when he was elected from the State Capitol,
the superintendent Of Public Instruction for
the State. The suit was brought for dam
ages against all but Darden, on account Of
alleged trespass committed in expelIIng De-
Gress from the Office, TO recover the salary
already paid to HoIlingsworth, and for an
injunction against Darden to prevent fur
ther payment of salary. 1t was dismissed as
to Darden, and the prayer for restoration te
the office abandoned, leaving only a suit for
damages. DEGREES was represented by
Shocks g. Sneed, Z. ]. Davis and Walton &
Green. Hancock, West s. North and Ter
rell & Walker were employed by the Presi-
dent of the Senate and Speaker OF the
House, under joint resolution authorizing
them to employ counsel. The rooms occu-
pied by DeGress, containing the archives of
the Office, were turned over to Hollngsworth
under the orders Of the Lieutenant Cover
nor and Speaker of the House, who acted
In this under joint resolution Of the Leg
islature. The argument on demurrer was
opened by Major West, who was replied to
by Davis and Walton. Judge Terrell had
just begun the closing argument when the
district judge declined further argument
and sustained the demurrer. Tho same
faces which were observed to enjoy the de-
clsion in erPGrtS Rodriguez were on hand.
The case will be appealed.

THE House of Representatives went into

til7P. II. The House was under call most
Of the day, the opponents Of the compro-
mise being first one and then the other abb
sent. Lunch was freely circulated among
the members at their seats at about five
o'clock in the afternoon. Duung the day
several personal alterations took place,
and at times matters looked as II they must
necessarily drift into disturbance and chaos.
Late in the session, however, everyone be-
came worn out, angry passions subsidized,
and the Speaker went to sleep in his chair,
and had to be violently awakened to put a
question. The anti-International members
gained temporary victory at : P. N, when
the House adjourned, after. a nine-hour
session.
MAX FOUND DEAD.-A man was found
dead last Sunday on Fort Prairie, about four
miles east of the city, but the remains were
too far decemposed to admit of recongi-
ton. The man Is, however, supposed 10 be
Mexican who wandered on to the farm of
DR.. Stiles on the fifth of January during
severe cold spell in an Unconscious state,
caused possibly by the loss of blood from
a hemorrhage of the lungs. The Mexican
was first seen in a field and taken for a
thief, but being found in distress and with
out reason, was taken to a cabin and cared
fer. In the night, however, he disap-
peared, leaving some Of his clothing, from
which possibly the dead man might be iden-
tilted. The Mexican was never seen about
DR.. Stiles's after his mysterious disappear
ance.
