Another Overland Railroad.

We regret TO notice that the San
Francisco papers either openly or Sc
cretly rejoice over the apparent defeat
of the Texas Pacific bill, and we will
take this occasion to assure our city
contemporaries that they are pursuing
a policy which will ultimately alien
ate Southern California from the re-
mainder of the State. The fear of San
Francisco that San Diego will draw
off portion of her trade, appears to
us to be so childish and frivolous as to
require no attention. San Francisco
is a great city-the metropolis of the
Pacific-and that she, with her great
wealth, established trade and central
location, should work herself into a
panic over the imaginary rivalry of a
place 500 miles distant, with little save
its natural advantages, passes compre-
hension and excites our ridicule. The
exultation over the defeat of Colonel
SCoTTs bill will be of short duration
There will be another overland rail-
road, and it will traverse the conti-
nent South of the one now built We
should not be surprised if the defeat of
the Texas Pacific bill gave impetus to
another road, aud was the direct cause
by which we shall have road sooner
than we should have had the Texas
Pacific, had the aiu asked by SCOTT
been granted. The Los Angeles and
Independence road will be built, and
we do not believe it will fall within
the control of the great railroad mo-
nopoly that now overshadows the
railroad system of the Pacific coast.
Grant that this road will have local
habitation, as it now has name.
Does anyone suppose it will stop at
independence or Panamint? At those
points it will have but just the
Western edge of the great mining re-
gion which must receive supplies from
it. 1t will push on to the center Of
and then to the Eastern boundary of
the vast mining region. Thus far it
will build itself. It's business will
build it. st. Louis wants a railroad
to the Pacific coast, and as San Fran
cisco is not disposed to help her build
it, she will join forces with Southern
California and Los Angeles will be-
come the Pacific terminus of an over
land railroad. t#

A Nice lob Killed.

San Francisco has an extensive net
work of fire alarm telegraph which
could be made very useful for city
business, and for some time the Amer
lean District Telegraph Company,
which is but another name for the
Western Union Telegraph Company,
have been seeking to obtain control
of the fire alarm wires under an ar
rangement by which the city should
keep the wires in repair and operate
them while they would control and
use them. This would have been a
very nice arrangement for the COM
pany, and they had secured the votes
of a majority of sufficient number of
the Board of Supervisors to accom-
plish their purpose, when the little
job was knocked to smithereens by
the City and County Attorney ex-
planning to the Board that though
their will was good the law did not
give them the power to make the
transfer. So If those votes have cost
the Western Union anything the
money is lost.

18th, containing a flattering notice OF
the exhibition of Mr.. CHARLES V.
HALL, brother of Mrs. Capt. MOORE
of this city, who went East shortly
after Mr.. JOHNSON with a full set of
BRADLEY & RULoFsoN's California
views. Under the head of ''California
Beauties the Journal says:
Very few entertainments given in
this city during the Winter have been
received with more satisfaction than
the one at Association Hall last eve-
ming. 1t consisted of Photographic
views, thrown upon canvas by means
of the Drommund light, representing
town and country scenes in Califor-
MIA. The views are taken direatly
from nature, and are therefore correct
representations. The principal places
of interest in San Francisco, Sacra-
mento and other cities were portrayed
with truthfulness that was easily APP
parent to every beholder, while the
mountain scenery, especially the Yo-
semitic valley, was alone worth the
price of admission--fifty cents. The
exhibition, beside proving entertain
ing, was made very instructive by the
lucid explanations of Mr.. Charles V.
Hall. The latter announced last eve-
ming that he gave these entertain
ments for the purpose of showing the
people the beauties ofhis native State,
and, if possible, to prevail upon those
who are not permanently located else
where to make it their home.

Steam VS.. Electricity.

Some of the playful remarks of the
HERALD on the evenness of the race
between the Telegraph Stage Line and
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany in conveying news to this city
have drawn forth the ill-natured COM
ments of persons who fancy they are
reading the latest telegraphic news,
when in fact they are perlising frag-
ments of dispatches which the Bulle-
tim brought in detail eight hours before
the telegraph company's rehash ar
rived. We are always sorry to incur
the displeasure of anyone, but facts are
facts. Now comes the Newark New
Jersey Journal with its testimony
that locomotive can beat the West
ern Unions electricity just little. 1t
says:
o for thousand tongues to sing the praises
Of the Western Union Telegraph Company
Cos why? From Trenton there was sent us
this morning by the seven o'clock train q
package. AT the same hour the sender tele-
graphed us to be on the lookout for the pack

At five minutes past eleven the telegram sent
some thirty-five minutes ahead OF electricity

WASHINGTON, February 16th.-The
report of the Senate Committee on
Judiciary on the so-called press-gag

Senators Hager and Stewart met
Sargent and the California Represent
atives to-day to harmonize, if possi-
BILE, on the bill authorizing a change
of the route of the Southern Pacific
Railroad. General Cotton was pres
ent, and said the company was salts
fled with the bill as modified by
Houghton and telegraphed Saturday
No conclusion was arrived at.
The Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee have substantially agreed to the
Hawaiian Reciprocity Treaty, though
no formal vote was taken, and action
was deferred on some details. Unless
the treaty is acted on before the ad-
journment, an extra session will be
called for March 4th.

Cause Why.

The San Francisco papers are howl
ing over the probable repeal of the Act
of Congress granting a subsidy to the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company; at
the same time they are jubilant over
the defeat of the Texas and Pacific bill.
Cause: The Pacific Mail steamships
land at San Francisco, and the Texas
Railroad don't. The people of South
ern California are supremely disgusted
at such selfishness, and the whole ma
ton looks with contempt upon such
shallow inconsistencies.

The Grangers' Business Convention.
