A LATE number of the San Francis

A LATE number of the San Francis
co Chronicle contains an editorial TAX
ing strong grounds against the Gov
ernment aid to the Texas Pacific Rail-
road, and charges Tom SCoTT with
trying to build up at San Diego city
which will rival San Francisco. There
is strong feeling of jealousy or ill
will manifested toward Southern Cali
fornia by a umber of San Francisco
journals and others published in the
central portion of the State, for which
there is no reason, but this tilt of the
Chronicle against the Texas Pacific
strikes us as being silly In the ex-
trem, while its fear that San Diego
will divide the trade with San Fran
cisco, is entirely uncalled for. 1t is
possible that the Chronicles attack on
the Texas Pacific and it's fears as to
what SCOTT will do is due more
to it's zeal for the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company than its regard for
the welfare of San Francisco. But in
either case its arguments against a
Southern overland road that will not
be controlled by STANFORD & Co. will
not seriously influence Congress
against the Texas Pacific bill. Per-
haps the best and most effectual plan
we could adopt to allay the Chronicles
fears, would be to divide the State.
Give us from Monterey Bay down, and
STANFORD and the Chronicle may di-
vide the remainder or run it in part
nership, as best suits themselves. We
are determined to have q Southern
overland railroad, and we are willing
that it shall reach the Pacific Ocean

killing of Major Harry Larkyns, was
called. A large number of witnesses
were in attendance and much interest
is manifested on both sides. The
friends of the prisoner and the de-
ceased are well represented. The peo-
pie are represented by d. Spencer,
District Attorney for Napa county,
and the defense is conducted by w.
w. Pendegast and G. H. King and E.
S. Gottschalk, of San Francisco. An
argument was made for continuance
on the part of the prosecution, on ac-
count of the absence of one witness.
A jury was obtained without much
trouble. Judge Stoner, of additional
counsel for the people, opened the case,
after which the examination of wit
nesses was taken up. DIR. Reed, who
attended Larhyns, testified as to the
cause of death. A. S. Connolly related
the circumstances of Muybridge hir-
ing a team from him at Calistoga.
Benjamin Pickett and M. G. Murray,
witnesses of the shooting, also testi-
fed. The evidence thus far is the
same as heretofore published in the
newspapers. The Conrt adjourned to

MAJOR HORACE BELL, of this city,
yesterday read us a letter from his old
time friend, Capt. |. G. MEssEc, now
general Superintendent of JONES q
Co.'S mines at Panamint. Capt. Mes
SEC says he has given the mines of
that locality his careful attention, and
is confident they are the richest yet
discovered on the Pacific Coast, except
perhaps those of Virginia City. He
believes that within a short time the
Panamint mines will develop rich
ness equal to those Of the Comstock.
He thinks that the next four years
will build up town at Panamint
equal in wealth and population to
Virginia City and Gold Hill. Capt.
MESSED is an old Californian, and has
devoted great deal of his time and
attention to the mines of this State
and Nevada. He is mining expert
whose opinion is entitled to consider
alton. We have no doubt but that his
Judgment concerning Panamint is cor
rect and that his predictions will be
verified. Here is another strong rea-
son why the people of Los Angeles
valley should lose no time in making
the building of our railroad GER
tainty. On its early construction de-
pends our trade with these rich and
extensive mines.

Final Action.

Chief Engineer CRAWFORD left last
evening for San Francisco to confer
with the heavy capitalists concerned
in the Los Angeles and Independence
Railroad and receive instructions as
to the commencement of active opera
tions on the road. A great deal de-
pends on the report which Mr.. CRAw-
FORD will make to these gentlemen.
III he reports that the people of Los
Angeles, San Bernardino and Inyo
counties are anxious for the construc-
ton of the road, and are manifestlng
their anxiety by a liberal subscription
to its stock, there is no doubt but
that work will begin at once and by
the first of next May track laying will
commence. Up to this time subscrip-
tions have been liberal, but there is
yet much to do. The men who will
furnish the greater portion of the
money to build this road ask that the
people of the three counties above
named, subscribe $500, 600 to its stock.
The request is reasonable. We shall
be greatly benefited, and we should do
something in return. The road be-
tween this city and the water will, in
short time, save to the consumers
more than we are asked to subscribe.
1t will reduce the cost of freight to
one-half what We are now paying, and
this item alone will enable US to save
the 100000 necessary to insure the
building of road which will reach
from Truxton to Independence.

ished a fine map of the country
through which the Los Angeles and
Independence Railroad will run. 1t is
a beautiful piece of work, and is all

accuracy. The topography of the
country is clearly mapped and the gold
