An Army Of Lawyers.

We are assured by those who are debt
ors of the bank of TEMPLE& WORKMAN
and would like to postpone payment
until the end of time, that to settle
the estate in the bankruptcy court will
be more expensive than to leave it in
the hands of the assignees. This is
not true and we will produce a single
item of assignee expense that will
prove that it is not true. There are
now, as we are informed, four legal
firms of this city employed by the as
signees, as follows: GLAssELL, CHAP
MAN & SMITHS; MCCONNELL, BIcK-
NELL & RoTHscHILD; BRUNsoN,
EASTMAN q GRAVES and HAZARD &
HOWARD. Here are twelve lawyers in
the employ Of the assignees and we
have reason to believe that all those
lawyers not now employed need do to
receive a retainer is to drop a remark
in favor of throwing the estate into
bankruptcy. The creditors of the
bank will see by this item how little
truth there is in the assertions of the
assignee's organ that the business
will be more cheaply settled up by
them than the bankruptcy court. AS
things now appear it will not be long
before every lawyer of note in this city
will be retained by assignees. The
thing has already gone so far that one
of the firms above named is reported to
be acting as counsel for the assignees,
and attorney for one of the principal
creditors of the estate. After this let
us hear no more about the economy of
settling the business of the firm by
the assignee process.

Adventures OF a Horse Thief.

DR.. Stairway recovered his horse and
equipments yesterday, which were
stolen several days ago, and quite an
interesting history is developed neon
nection with the affair. Our readers
will remember that the horse was ta-
III from San Pedro street, where the
dortor had hitehed it, to make a pro-
feo> >lonal GALE 1t transpires that ma
tiNe G. ifornian or Mexican, made off
with tie animal and took himself to-
wards the Southern part of the coun-
ty. At Negro Gulch he came
upon the camp of -seafe; sheep
herders and committed a second
theft by taking a pair of blankets.
He was caught before he, got away
with his booty, however, and the
men, to make sure of their game, tied
him upon,abett and left him." They
also discovered the horse and put it In
place of safety. During the night
the horse thief knawed his ropes in
two which bound him and effected his
escape, leaving behind all his ill-got-
ten chattels. An account of the affair
was brought to the city, and Mr.. M. d.
Madegan i'll company with another
gentleman, went out and secured the
lost property. Besides the horse and
trappings the thief left Behind him a
pair of blankets and a EeyQly :, 1t is
supposed the fellow was intending to
join company shortly to start for
Sonora, Mexico, and he was waiting
for an opportunity toeress the rivers,
which are still swollen by the late
rains. DIR. Stairway is greatly re-
joiced at the recovery of his horse,
which is q valuable animal and a
match in his buggy team '.''

A Board of Examiners.

The chief charges against railroad
companies are high rates and discrim-
ination against or in favor of indivi-
duals and localities. 1t occurs to us
that the best and most effective meth
cd for the removal of these causes of
dissatisfaction that can be adopted is
the enactment of law authorizing
the appointment of Board of Exam
liners, whose duty it shall be to hear
the evidence on which complaints are
based and if found to be as represent
ed to confer with the managers of the
railroad in question and induce a re-
moval of the cause of dissatisfaction.
If the Examiners on investigation
find that the rates of freights and fares
are too high, or that injustice has
been done an individual or locality by
discrimination, they will confer with
the railroad company and on q clear
setting forth of the facts, we have no
doubt, an understanding will be had,
and the cause of complaint at once re-
moved. Many of the railroad acts of
omission or com mission of which the
people complain are not chargable to
the owners. They are the incidental
results of vast business, the details
of which will sometimes become
slightly deranged, though ever so care
fully looked after. BY the plan we
suggest, all these complaints would bt
brought directly to the attention o.

the head officers who, otherwise,
would never hear of them except in a
general way. Through the examiners
both the people and the Railroad Com
pany would be heard and their differ
ence duly discussed. Would not such
a procedure insure more satisfactory
results to all concerned than the pas
sage of a freights and fares bill
which, while it imposed the same con-
ditions on all railroads, would render
it impossible to operate the greater
portion of them and compel an entire
discontinuance of all railroad build
ing on the Pacific coast /?

have secured legal opinion from Jo Hamil-

Judged bankrupt he cannot qualify as the

The Statesman's Hobby.

On the shoulders of ARCHER ofSan-
ia Clara has fallen the mantle of
FREEMAN of Yolo. FREEMAN had
the freights and fares fever so badly
that his constituents thought it unsafe
to expose his attenuated frame to the
vicissitudes of another session of the
Legislature and he retired to the
peaceful shades of private life. But
he left the seeds of the disease in the
vestibule of the State Capitol and up
on his entrance therein they fell upon
and diseased the corpulent personal
of ARCHER of Santa Clara. His fren-
zy has eliminated freights and fares
bilfas visionary and impracticable as
that of theYolo statesman which he
now calls upon the Legislature to
pass and thereby render imperative
every railroad in the State. 1t is re-
markable that the motives which i'm
PEELED FREEMAN and ARCHER to
frame and introduce these bills had
nothing whatever to do with the in
terests of the people. Mr.. FREEMAN
wanted the railroad company to give
him a private side track at Davisville.
The modest request was not acceded
to and in revenge he produced his
freights and fares bill. Mr.. ARCHER
has imbibed the notion that it is popu-
lar to go against railroads and on a
lame, halting impracticable freights
and fares hobby horse he hopes to ride
into Congress. The people are begin
ming to understand the motives of the
ambitious gentlemen who play Don
Quixote against the railroad windmill
at every session of Legislature, and.
once they are understood they will
be appreciated at their full value. The
right of the State to legislate on this
subject is undisputed, but legislation
on this and many other questions is
unnecessary. The owners of railroad
in order to make their road renumera-
tive must cooperate with the people
residing near and doing business over
such road. The carriers and the ship
pers must operate together for mutual
benefit. If freights and fares are fixed
too high people will neither ship nor
travel and the road suffers alike with
the community from which it secures
its patronage. No legislation is nec-
essary for the correction of evil. The
railroad traffic must be overhauled and
the rates of transportation fixed at
figures which will secure business. 1t
is simple business proposition which
can be more satisfactorily arranged
by the parties concerned than by
legislative enactment. The railroad
owners and the people are much more
likely to arrange freights and fares on
basis acceptable to both carriers and
shippers than the hobby riding legls-
lators who biennially attempt the So
luton of a problem that can only be
solved by practical demonstration.
Rates of freights and fares that might
be profitably operated by one road
would throw another into bankruptcy.
Locality and business have more to
do with the fixing of freights and fares
than all the bills that ever did or ever
will emenate from the brain of popu-
larity seeking members Of the Legis-
lature.

CHICAGO, February 19th.-Last eve
ming the Wisconsin Senate, after q
heated discussion, ordered the Vance
bill amending the Potter law to a
third reading by vote of % to 8. To-
concurred in clauses of the bill by a
vote of Is to 7. The Assembly had
already concurred and adopted the
amendments originating in the Sen
ate, and with the vote in the Senate
this morning the matter is definitely
settled. The Vance bill becomes law
in substance as originally introduced.
The amendment made in the Senate
was to the effect that no railroad cor
poration shall charge or receive a
larger sum for car load from one
person than from any other shipping
from the same place, but the provis-
ion shall not apply to shipments from
competing points.
