SAN FRANCISCO. March 2t--The
Supreme Court has rendered decision
in the case Of Low against the Central
Pacific Railroad Company. Some years
ago the California Railroad Company
leased the road to the Central Pacific
Railroad Company. According to the
lease the Central Pacific Railroad Com
pauy should pay both principal and in
terest on the outstanding loans of the
California Pacific Railroad Company,
according to the terms of the bonds
The suit was subsequently brought
through Ex-Governor Low as an
agent for the foreign bondholders. for
principal and interest on outstanding
notes. payments not having been made
The railroad company contended that
it had no power TO make such con-
tract. and therefore the agreement to
pay the outstanding bonds with interest
was void The contrary opinion is
affirmed by a majority OF the Supreme
Court Justice McKinsley disseuts,
holding that the lessor had no power
TO make q contract. No opinion is ex-
pressed by Justice Crockett

A FEW days since, Mr.. Johnson,
connected with the Long Branch Bank,
and whose residence is in Matawan,
found a one-dollar bill in the cars.
He could not find an owner. A friend
suggested to put it in some trust COM
pany with the proviso that it shall
bear interest, which interest shall be
compounded every year, and at the
end of 200 years hospital be erected
with the product. Mr. johnson smil-
ed and suggested that the amount was
too small We have taken the trouble
to reckon what the dollar would amount
to, and find that the final sum would
be $131, 072. This is reckoning at
six per cent interest. Now, suppose
Mr.. johnson should invest five dollars
more to endow a hospital, we have the
immense sum Of 5000. 800 to forever
keep the hospital in active operation.
Some will say, 1.-TWO hundred years,
pshaw that is too far off," yet mon
ey institutions are now in existence In
London that are more than 800 years
old: and if man is dead it will make
little difference to him if the money
he bequeaths is invested in two years
or 200 years. SO We respectfully sug-
gest that the dollar with the addition
al five dollars shall be put out at inter
est to found the johnson Hospital, to
be built at Long Branch in 2076. and
all from the one dollar found in the
Central Railroad cars.-Ashbwy Jour
nal.

Dark For Tilden.

The Oregon case looks exceedingly
dark for Mr.. Tilden. The confession
made by Cronin on oath that he refus-
ed to act the fraud of personating an
elector until he had been paid $4,000
for expenses, besides a promise from
Mr.. Tilden's confidential agent that he
should have the latest office in Oregon,
was in itself bad for Tilden. Then it
was proved that this bride money came
from New York, through the firm OF
Ladd & Bush. Salam, Oregon, which
added another shade of darkness to
the transaction. Next it was proved
on the testimony of Mr.. Martin. of
the firm Of Martin & Runyan, New
York brokers, that they drew check
for $4,000 on December 9th last in
favor of Ladd & Bush, Salem Oregon;
but they refused to disclose to whom
they gave the check. Next it comes
out that when Mr., Martin. of this firm.
was subp@ned to testify before the
Senate committee at Washingto he was
joined at Newark by man of rather
imposing and agreeable presence, who
made his acquaintance, and finally un-
dertook to coach him as to how he
should testify, telling him to confne
himself to what he positively knew and
not to mention what he heard or might
think. He introduced himself as Col
Bush Harrison, formerly Private Sec.
to Jeff Davis, and more recently to
Mayor Wickham, Of New York. Next
this Col. Harrison followed the witness
to Washington and constituted himself
a sort of body guard over him, follow
ing him to the Capitol and wherever
he went. This clme to the ears of
the committee. Harrison was sent for
and refused at first to answer, but on
the threat of committal he finally con-
fessed that he had been employed by
Col. Pelton, nephew and Private Sec.
of Mr.. Tilden, to coach and shadow
Martin, which adds a still black dye
to the business for Mr. Tilden. Then
Mr.. Runyan, the other member of the
firm, positively refused to disclose tc
whom he gave the check, but at last
confessed that he did so upon the ad
vice of Col Harrison who confessed
that he gave this advice at the request
of Col, Pelton. So that the evidence
traces the $4,000 check in favor o.
Ladd & Bush. from which the Cronir
was paid directly to the door of Sam
uel j. Tilden. the great and good re
former himself
1t looks very dark, indeed, fer the
great reformer. We notice deaC
silence in the Democratic newspaper:
about these interesting features Of The
Oregon fraud. They dc not seem t.
appreciate the beautiful symmetry they
give to the whole affair, nor how ex
quisitely the foundation of bribery
and corruption harmonizes with tht
superstructure of fraud nor how
every part of the desperate villainy
of this trick for stealing an electora
vote reflects credit on the skill ant
genius of the great artist who con
ceiVed and executed the whole design
in all its elegant details. Pau

THE 8TH of January has passed
away in peacefulness. The doughty
Democrats assembled in convention,
talked as no other people can talk, re-
solved generously, forgot to say any
thing about Cronin, bulldozing, or in
fact, about any Democratic damnation,
filled themselves to the top button
with Bourbon whiskey, drew their own
blood, in some cases, and, to the relief
of the police of various cities, have
dispersed to their homes. IF the En-
peror Of Russia knew anything about
the explosive powers of our Democrats
he would employ them in his harbors
for torpedoes.

A Plan Of Compromise.

1t is reported from Washington that
six members of the senate Committee
to consider the matter of counting the
Presidential votes have agreed upon a
compromise plan of performing this
duty. These Senators are reported to
be, on the Republican side-Senators
Frelinghuysen, Edmunds and Conklin;
and on the Democratic side-Senators
Thurman, Bayard, and Ransom. They
ara certainly Senator's who are entitled
to high respect. Senator Morton, OF
the committee, does not agree to the
plan. The basis of agreement is said
to be as follows: Cd That the President
of the Senate is not ccnstitutionally
vested with the absolute power for
co1ntlng the votes; (2)that tbs count
shall be made in the hall Of the House
Of Representative because of a long
established practice; CD that the vote
Of no state shall be rejected without
the concurrent assent of the two Hous-
es of Congress; and G. that, if the
two Houses shall not be able to agree
in case of an objection to the counting
of any state, then the dispute shall be
referred for arbitration outside of Con-
gress. The tribunal for arbitration
will probably be the Supreme Court of
the United States. 1t will be noticed
that this plan requires mutual concess-
ions from both parties.
This plan is supposed to be in &C.
cordance with the views of Senator
Booth, as indicated in his recent
speech. Emanating FROM so high a
source, it should at least receive re-
spectful consideration. Every person
should desire a solution of this Presi-
Dental question, that shall be fair and
just, and shall prove satisfactory to
the people of the country, and be
quietly acquiesced in by them War
is thing not to be thought of serious
ly in this connection. There must be
craftsmanship and patriotism enough
left in the country to effect a settle
ment of the question without resort
to arms. This task will be an easy
one, if demagOgues will cease from
their efforts to excite and infame the
public mind by furious war speeches
and by an effort to show that all the
leading Republicans of the country
are combined in a conspiracy to cheat
the people out of their just rights.
If ever there was a time when true
craftsmanship was needed, that time
is the present; and it is also the time
when demagogues and political aspir-
ants for office should be hooted down
by the voice of the people -Madisom

IT is estimated by good judges that
the cut Of pine logs on Black river
the present winter will not exceed
155, 100000 feet, against 100000, 900
last year. This should have tenden-
cy to bring up the price of lumber
next season, provided logging on other
streams in the country is reduced in
the same proportion, which probably
will not be the case, especially on the

A MIGHTY effort is being made to

in the Illinois Legislature. The de-
feat of Logan will be a triumph for
the bluest kind of Bourbon Democracy.
We hope to be able to chronicle his
complete triumph over the enemies
himself and the nation.
