FREIcHTs.

The new departure of the Central
Pacific Railroad Company regarding
the delivery of freight at points in this
State has been the subject of no little
comment on the part of the press.
Just what is meant by the change of
programme is perhaps correctly set
forth in the article given below from a
recent number of the Winnemucca
Siiuer State. The article will doub.-
less be of interest to all classes of ship
pers in this section. 1t is as follows:
w. H. WEIGH, agent OF the Central
Pacific Railroad Company, has received
the following instructions relative to a
new arrangement, by which the rates
of freight from Omaha and points east
of that place to W~inneinucca have
been materially reduced: "Please
notify all shippers who have heretofore
received freight from the East, con-
tracing it to Sacramento, that we are
advised by the Union Pacific Railroad
Company hat they have arranged to
contract freight from Omaha and points
east of the Missouri river direct to your
station at rates considerably less than
the published local tariff of the roads
over which freight must pass, and
which will not exceed the cost OF
freight from same points by way of
Sacramento, or any other route. All
freight should be marked to Winnie
mucca direct" From all points east of
Ogden the tariff is placed ona curren-
cy basis, and is payable in greenbacks.
Winnemucca and Reno are the only
stations in the State to which freight
from the East can be shipped direct at
reduced rates. Merchants and ship
psrs at other points along the road can
ship to either of these stations instead
of Sacramento as heretofore, and at
much less rates. This new arrang
ment removes the great cause of COM
plant against the Railroad Company,
and will be of great advantage to mer-
chants and the public generally.

UNCLE DOW ON THE SITUA.
TION.

We have always been pretty firm in
our adhesion to Democratic notions
and equally tenacious in holding the
dominant party to q rigid accountable
ity for all Of its shortcomings, but, re-
ally, we never knew what allied the
country until we run across the para
graph given below from the Reno
Democrat. Colonel Dow is a Bourbon
war-horse from the knobs, and, of
course, he has got the whole business
figured down to a demonstrated GER
tainty. We haven't observed the
"hsted form of the sneaking, thieving
collector put this way of late, but
presume there are plenty of them in
the western part of the State, or else
Brother Dow wouldn't say they are
constantly to be seen before his door.
Seriously, though, we are much grieved
to learn that we are all in such a terrible
bad1ix, and while we can not but appre-
ciate the Colonel's motions we almost
regret that he has aroused us to a real
izing sense Of the awful situation.
There can be no question that things
are wofully out of joint. The indict-
ment sounds q little Pomeroyish, but
there is no doubt OF its authenticity.
1t is ~assuredly the work of Colonel
Dow's forcible little pen. We hasten
to place the Colonel's views before u
readers in order that they may know
just what's the matter:
".Our taxes are already more than
we can bear. Hard times is the cry
that greets our ears from every quarter
of the land. Your houses, your lands,
crops, implements, furniture, debts,
credits, luxuries and necessities, the
life you live-yea, the very air you
breathe-is taxed. The hated form of
some sneaking, thieving collector is
constantly before your door. Many
and many q poor man robs his family
Of the conveniencies Of life, h q he
may ave money to buy the privilege
from q free Government of earning the
necessities. II these taxes were neces-
sary; II our Government were engaged
in . foreign war, n O y murmur would
escape the lips of the taxpayer; but to
rob himself and family Of the necessi-
ties Of life 70 support q horde Of OH
GERS and contractors; to feed q race OF
earth il either the junyles Of Africa, or
slavery; and, finally. to perpetuate the
power OF q party that has brought US
U troubles, Is violative Of q Christ
ian's duty TO himself, his family, his
and his GOd.V

John B. Weller, Ex-Governor of CAL
ifornia, died of smallpox In New Or
leans on the 18th inst. Deceased was
. native Of Ohio, and must have been
in the neighborhood of seventy years
Of age at the time Of his death. He
wa once q member of Congress from
his native State. E%migrating to Cali
fornia in 1849, it was not long before he
assumed a leading position in all Of
the public and political affairs of the
vigorous young Commonwealth. In
1852 he was elected with DR.. Gwin to
the United States Senate, and at a later
period was chosen Governor of the
Golden State. He also acted as Minis
Ter to Mexico during the latter part of
Buchanan's administration. Return
ing to California, he became a candi-
date for the Lower House Of Congress
in 1868, but was defeated. He then re-
moved to this State, settling at Austin,
where he engaged for some months
in the practice Of his profession. He
next made a tour Of Idaho, Montana
and Utah, finally drifting south to
New Orleans, where he located and
continued to reside up to the time o.
his decease. He was a man Of vigor-
Gus intellect, great social worth and un-
doubted integrity. The highest evil
dence perhaps of the scrupulous hon
esty OF John B. Weller is presented in
the fact that his long official career
was Terminated in poverty.

ELECTION FIGURES. &C. T. Ryland,
Of San Jose, who has been stuinping
the state for Irwin, sets down the total
vote In September at $4,000, and di-
vides it thus: Irwin, 5000; Phelps,
3 5000; Bidwell, 25 5000. We know not
how these figures may be, but II is now
generally admitted by Democrats and
Republicans, and not by a few indie.
pendsnts, that outside Of San Francis
co, Bidwell Is third in the race, and a
very low third, too.
The above item Is from the Sacra-
mento Bee. The figures are perhaps
relatively correct, but we think the to.
tai vote Is placed ton low by nearly
1900. As between Phelps and Bid
well IL Is now conceded on all sides that
the latter Is destined to fall a long way
behind. The Dollies have been losing
strength steadily since the campaign
opened.

JURIEs.-The following, from the
Enterprise of the 18th, reads as if it
was written especially for Eureka, for
every word hits the nail upon the head
in regard to the workings of the jury
system in this community:
We have no desire to find fault with
juries on account of the manner in
which the individual members thereof
see fit, under their oaths. to discharge
their duties. The matter can only
rest between them and their o
science. But the way the system is
operating here now is, we fear, going
to work mischief in the by-and-by. II
seems almost impossible to convict a
man before a jury Of any of the many
misdeineanors committed in u midst.
The members thereof take v idely diff
terent views Of law and of fact and
generally disagree, and the conse
quencs is the defendants are dis
charged. While, as before said, no
one can step in between these Jurors
and their cOnsciences, and say they do
wrong, we all may be permitted to see
what such a urse must inevitably
lead tn. Those who are now law-abid
ing and who appeal to the strong arm
of the law for protection, will, doubt
less, ere long and as IL becomes evident
that the law affords no protection, be
gin to take the law into their own hands.
This will be, in time, the inevitable re-
suit Of In present state of things.
Then will cOme a reaction, but prob
ably too late to prevent direfnl conse-
quences. The reaction itself will. in
all probability, also he as unjust as the
present course, and there will then be
as Il tie protection for the innocent in
the law As there seems to be punish
ment now therein for the guilty. Such
q state Of things Is much to be regret
ted.

THE "A MURDER.

Our readers will remember the
shocking murder of I. N. Sharp at a
sulphur mine in Humboldt county
some months ago. j. w. Rover vas
tried and convicted of the crime, and
his case is now awaiting the decision of
the Supreme Court. One McWorthy
was the principal witness against
Rover. and it is reported that he has
disappeared since the trial. Statements
were made about the time of the trial
that the witness McWorthy was not
just what he ought to be, and now M.
S. Bonnifeld, counsel Cor Rover, pub
fishes in the Steer State a card pur-
porting to give some ofhis aniecedents.
Following is what Mr.. Bonnitield has
to say:
A few days after the trial OF j. w.
Rover l received a telegram from
T%rnckee, California, stating that Nc
Worthy had been run out OF Alpha for
murder. The information came too
late for service in the trial. Since then
l have learned the facts in the matter
referred TO in the dispatch, which are
briefly these in substances: Some
years ago McWorthy's partner sudden
~ and mysteriously disappeared.
Search being made, his body was
found, and it was evident that a most
foul and revolving murder had been
committed. All the circumstances
point to McWorthy as the perpetrator
Of the crime. The community WAS
shocked at the revolving deed. A
vigilance committee was organized for
the purpose of intiicting summary pun
ishment upon McWorthy; more mod
crate counsel prevailed, and he was
ordered to leave at once, which he lost
no time in doing. l.. N. Sharp WdS the
upon Nc Worthy. AS respectable citi-
Gems of Nevada county as can be found
anywhere, who are cOyniZant of all the
facts, have volunteered to appear in
any court, at their Own expense, as
witnesses, whenever their presence is
desired. After McWorthy had left,
the evidence OF his guilt accumulated
until it became overwhelming in the
minds of the whole community. An
other murder was committed at Scott's
Bar, in California, which lay between
McWorthy and his partner. The evil
dence in that case was circumStantial;
all the facts in that murder have not
yet obtained. / give You the above
additional information, as all are inter-
ested in hearing of the past history of
both Rover and Noteworthy, and any,
thing that may account for the brutal
murder of 1. N. Sharp.
