One by one our cherished idols are

of our childhood's days rudely disturbed
by unsympathetic science. An icono-

CALIFORNIA POLITICS.

The shifting Kaleidoscope OF political
action in our sister State now offers to
our view an extraordinary aud some
what abnormal condition of affairs. The
Republicans, Democrats and Independ.
ents are working as industriously as
usual for the success Of their respective
candidates. but the point to which we
desire to call the attention OF our readers
IL the apparent division OF the Republi-
can party on the question Of the Central
Pacific. We say apparent, for no person
Of discrimination will DO gulled by the
dissembled hostility between Sargent.
Gorham & Co. and LELAND Stanford,
backed by the railroad company. Their
interests are identical and the warlike
appearance indicated by the resolutions
adopted in the recent convention is but
device Of the enemy. The fact is.
neither faction can afford to do without
the other; their past history illustrates
the truth Of this proposition, and that 1t is
pretty well understood by the people, is
illustrated by the fears expressed by Mr..
Boruck in the convention, where he said
In effect that should the convention pass
the resolutions under discussion, few. If
any, would have faith in their sincerity
and that probably it would be looked
upon as a trick to induce weakening and
biased members of the party to give il
their support. Notwithstanding the pro
phetic warning of this gentleman. the
resolutions were passed by little
over two-thirds majority and the fears
that filled tho prophetic soul Of
Boruck are in a fair way to be realized.
The chief point Of interest to us es citi-
Eens Of Nevada, is the fact that the
power OF the Central Pacific Railroad
Company as political organization.
though as yet undiminished, is by their
own action confessedly in danger, and
that it's power as monopoly is certainly
on the wane. That the Central Pacific
has done much to develop the immense
resources Of the Pacific Coast it would
be idle to deny, but that in doing 30
they have to the serious detriment of tho
same country done no uncomfortable
amount Of injury, is equally selfevident
The material interests of Nevada-many
Of them co-existent and some of them
independent Of her mining interests
are to-day suffering under extortionate
charges for transportation and unjust
discrimination on freights. Whatever
action may help to develop the country,
not at the expense of the many for the
enrichment of the few, but with q policy
not altogether grasping and self-enrich-
ing will meet with the appreciation of the
thinking men OF all parties. Philan
thropic motives of action are not ex-
pected in corporations, but due degree
of Difference to public sentiment and
expressed opinion is in this instance ex-
pected aud required more as a right than
a privilege. As we said before, the late
action Of the Republican Convention is
OF great importance to Nevada, indicat-
ing as it does so plainly that this power
full monopoly must in future give more
deferencs to tho wishes and opinions of
the great and growing States from which
il derives its revenue and support.

wAys.
Thousands of "tramps" seem to be on the
move, at this time, and complaints come from all
quarters of the annoyance. In this city, every
housekeeper is asked, dozens of times Il day,
for victuals or money, and the begsars pass
through Water street, from morning
to night, many Of them going down owl
In the country, the inilction is as bad. Yes
terdav morning, says Chester paper, no loss
than twenty-one were counted coming out OF
single barn, Oh the Concord road. Many farm
ers, living on frequented thoroughfaros are OBJ
ged to feed scores of them daily, tho women
often being alone and afraid to refuse farm
or i'll Now Castle hundred, near this city, is said
to have been feeding twenty five or thirty day.
No doubt the tramps are more numerous, just
now, i'll this locality, on account of tile = peach
pucks being on their way to the orchards.
A CAMP OF "rIucKs' SURROUNDED AND CAP.
TuRED.
About II o'clock. last night, word came to po-
lice headquarters from the Delaware Rail Road
junction, that large number of "peach plucks
had taken possession there, and had fortified
themselves i'll and around number OF empty
peach cars. A man coming along the rail road
track was stopped by the "plucks," who ran
sacked his carpet bag taking what they could
make use .of and then throwing the bag back to
crowd was useless, and the more genteel
" carpet baggcrp WAS only too glad to get away
from such undesirable company.
Chief Brady called in his reserved forces who
yaliently grded on not only the baton, but filled
their pockets with reyolvers and other death
dealing weapons, and started for the scene OF
conflict, regardless OF the aching hearts left be-
hind. Silently and stealthily the camp of
"plucks' was surrounded, and fifty mine of them
captured without the firing of gun, II stroke
of the maple or the loss of n man on the side OF
tho blue coats. 1t is reported, however, that
about as many of the "plucks" escaped as were
captured. Ihe ifty-nine were crowded into a
special car provided for the occasion by the rail
road company, and brought into the city,
marched up Market street and lodged in the city
cells.
This morning, they presented notified ap-
pearance az they emerged from tho cells, with
the injunction OF the Mayor to leave town "in-
stanter and never return again, even to find
lodgings in the peach cars outside the city linz
It's Amongst the g 'pucks were men OF nearly

were dyep, three printers three butchers, two

Tragedy in Talbot Co.

BRUTAL MURDER AT ST. MloHAEIs, ON sAruRDAf
"A MAN FOUND DEAD IN HIS OWN GARDEN.
John Thomas Ford, man between 40 and
SO, living at Sc. Mchaels Talbot county, WAS
found brutally murdered i'll his own garden, on
Saturday last about IL o'clock. Ills skull WAS
split open, and evidently several heavy blows
had been dealt him on the head with hatchet
or some other heavy instrument, other one or
which was sufficient to cause hia death.
The Easton Star, of Tuesday, says: jury OF
inquest was at once summoned to investigate
the case, but up to yesterday morning no clue
to the murderer had been found. The case ap-
pears to be involved in profound mystery. Sus-
picion as yet rests OH no particular person, and
no cry of murder was heard in the neighborhood
on the night of the murder 1t is reported that
white child and colored man in the neigh
borhood heard singular sounds about ten O'Clock
on Saturday night, but it il not certain that they
were made by tho murdered man or by the muir
derer.
As Fords bed was found not tumbled on Sat
urday morning, it is clear that he was murdered
before he retired to bed lie was probably de-
coyed out of his house and dispatched III the
early part of the night
