Oil Claims.

Quite a number of our citizens have
been interested in the oil wells of this
county for a considerable time. They
have worked and snant money for five.
ten and fifteen years in keeping up the
assessments on their claims. Some
have spent thousands of dollars and
years of labor in developing that dis
trict. Their faith was so strong in the
exceeding richness of their claims that
they have kept themselves and fami-
lies poor for years, by spending time
and money, BELIEVING they would make
a strike that would set them up
in life. Now just as the mines begin
to yield oil and bid fair to reimburse
the poor fellows. party of strangers
come In and jumps their claims, or
have settled down on them and claim
it all as timber or agricultural land.
Tins the poor miners are to be ousted
out of all their labor and hopes, by
party of shrewd wood choppers-pro-
vided they can make Colonel WHIT
ING see it, which we don't think they
will be able to do. The case is now
before Colonel WHITING and will be
continued from day to day until n de-
cision is reached.

THE Ercning, Republican,-Mr. w.
w. CREIGHToN's new candidate for
public patronage, made its appearance
last evening. 1t presents q neat as
pect and is we'll filled with local and
general news. The advertising pat
ronage is very large considering the
short time Mr.. CREIGHTON has been
canvassing, and he informs us that he
was compelled to leave two columns
of new aadsn out Of his first issue.
The politics of the Republican are
thus defined in the editors salutatory:
1.-THE paper will be Republican, and
we believe that the best interests OF
this section demand the success of a
Republican newspaper. 1t is field
hitherto unoccupled, and we com-
mence the work not as the abject SER
want of politicians, but in an earnest,
independent spirit that will in time
check political corruption and purify
party politics. TO this end we will de-
mand the adoption of honest plat
forms, and advocate the election of ca.
pable officers. This we believe to be
the mission of the Republican party,
and in this work we ask the co-opera-
tion of good men of all parties"

Texas Pacific Bill.

WASHINGTON, January 10th. The
Texas Pacific bill introduced by Sem
ator Hamilton authorizes the South
err Pacific railroad of California to
extand its line Eastward from the Col
orado river to meet the Texas Pacific
road on the latter's line, or if found
more practicable, on or near the SD
parallel, said Southern Facific rail-
road company to have and enjoy
for the portion which it constructs all
the land grant and other rights here
tofore provided for the Texas Pa
cific Company, and the Southern
Pacific Company is also empowered
to build road from some point on its
line to ships channel in San
Diego Bay, and for this por-
tion it also shall enjoy all rights
heretofore granted to the Texas
Pacific line provided it shall build 20
miles of this branch within two years,
and twenty miles yearly thereafter.
1t is also required to commence work
on the extension Eastward from the
Colorado within one year after its
road is completed to that river as now
required by its charter, and must
build at least 20 miles of the extension
yearly until it connects with the Tex
as Pacific, provided that if this con-
nection is West of the Eastern boun-
Diary of New Mexico, it shall he made
within six years from the enactment
of this bill. And another section pro-
vdes that after the connection is
made, the whole line of trans -conti-
mental roads shall be operated as one
continuous road, and no unjust dis
examinations in rates of freight or
fares shall be made by either of the
Companies againstt the other.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1876-01-11
The Southern Route,

THE telegraph informs us tnat Con-
gresham LUTTRELL will soon intro
duce in the House bill containing
the following conditions:
To allow the Sou hern Pac fic Railway
Company, of California, TO build its road
Eastward till 1t meets Scott's Texas Pacific
That the said California Pacific Company
shall enjoy the land grant, mile for mile OF
the road they shall so construct equally with
Scott and his company to the point where
the road OF oftheirconstructon shall meet that
to be CONSTRUCTED by the Scott company.
That any combination between these compa-
nies and any other company of transconti-
mental road shall be prohibited under heavy
penalties. That discrimination in fares and
freights shall be prohibited; and that the
Governor of California, the Governor OF Mis-
souri, and the Governor of New York shall
each have the power to appoint one Com
missioner, and that this Board of three Com
missioners shall fix the rates of trnnsporta-
tion, limiting them to q reasonable per cent.
on the ssactual cost and operating expenses
of the entire line"
The conditions embodied in the first
two propositions are substantially the
same as those proposed and advocated
by the HERALD nearly or quite one
year ago. They offer all that the
Southern Pacific ask, and it will at
once accept the terms. Had Congress
passed this or similar bill at its last
session, and the Texas Pacific as read
lily accepted the offer as the Southern
Pacific expressed its willingness to do,
the great work would now be far to-
ward completion. But Mr.. SCOTT
wanted a monopoly of the whole
route, and he wanted the nations
credit for sum more than sufficient
to build two such roads. He was un-
willing to accept terms which would
have secured the early building of the
Southern transcontinental road, and
his determination to have oil or moth
ing defeated all bills and postponed
the work for a considerable period.
Should Mr.. LUTTRELL's bill become a
law, it is not probable that Mr. SCOTT
will avail himself of its provisions,
and the building of the Southern over
land road will, as we always predicted

This man has had a strange, sad his
tory. Fifteen years ago he was a MEM
Der of Congress from one of the new
Western States, the first Representa-
tive the State sent to Congress. He
had risen to that position from the
printers case, having been compos-
itor and an editor, and was one of the
founders of the Typographical Union.
He was a member of the first Terri.
torial Legislature in his State; as
sisted in framing the State Constitu-
tion, and was elected to a position on
the Supreme Bench, which he de-
clined in order to accept the nomina-
tion to Congress. He was q man of
rare oratorical powers, but an idealist.
So visionary, so chimerical were
his schemes and theories, SO unsafe
his judgment, that his career in Con-
gress, while brilliant from several
bursts ofeloquence, Was failure when
judged from a practical eommon-sense
standpoint. He was defeated when a
candidate for reelection, and defeat
killed him. For the benefit. of his
health his friends obtained Consul
late abroad for him, but his disappoint-
hiCho oiiu thC ColbihQCo w
a'diseaied Indignation unseated his
reason and he has grown from senti-
mentalism to lunacy.
Several years ago he left his wife
and children, imagining them to be
the milestone that hung about his
neck, and has since made his home
with relatives, Through the influence
of Charles Sumner and Henry Wilson
his wife obtained position in one of
the Departments, which she now
holds, Two years ago he became sus-
p.eious of the motives of an ex-Sena-
ter who had befriended her, and shot
him i'll the street, but the wound was
only a slight one and although indict-
ed he has never been tried for the
crime. Ais history, SO sad, yet so
strange and romantic, is known only
to few, but his strange and peculiar
yellow hair are familiar to every one
in Washington.
