THE STATE PRISON TITLE.

The decision of Judge Sawyer of the
United States Circuit Court in the case
OF j. H. Adams and others against l..
K. Bradley, Governor. and other State
officers is published, in the Virginia
Enterprise. The action was brought to
recover from the State possession of
the lands on which the State Prison is
built, aud the Judgment is for the State
with costs. The decision is not final,
al Judge Sawyer decides that if the
plaintiffs have any title they will be
permitted to show it.
A true history OF the Prison Grounds
would undoubtedly be interesting, and
would expose one of the Jobs" put up
by sharpers to swindle the people.
The possesssry title to the land WAS
purchased by the Territory OF Nevada
of Abram Curry, at cost of about
$4,000. The land was then unsur
veyed and considered valuable only be-
cause of the existence of warm springs
and the discovery of stone quarry on
the premises. The Territory of Nevada
expended thousands of dollars IN build
ing the Prison. aud .subsequently when
Nevada was admitted as State. con-
adorable money was expended in en-
lsrgipg and improving the Prison.
Through the ignorance or dishonesty
of the State officers, or probably COL
lusion with those who desired the title
to the Prison Grounds. the State did
not purchase the land, and the people
WHO were taxed to pay the original
.nnrohase money and the large amounts
subsequently expended in building the
Rrison. were astonished to fnd that
aRtsidsrs claimed the land on which i,
Akands by right of purchase from the
State or General Government. Since
chen bills have been introduced in the
Legislature authorizing the State to
again purchase the property at a round

made by the adverse claimants. to the
Courts. and it is not improbable that

Rates ON California Freight.,

New YORK, Aug. 10.
The Tribune says: The settlement
OF rates on California; freights, to be
charged hereafter by the Union Pacific
road, has been left to General Freight
Agent Vining. of the U. p. and Gen.
eral Freight Agent Stuobs, ofthe G. P,
4. R. both of whom are now at San
Francisco. A Director of the Uuion
Pacific road said yesterday: The cir
cular advancing freight rates to Cali.
fornia on frst-class goods from Sc to
Sl2 Was issued to prevent certain
class of San Francisco merchants from
taking undue advantage of the railroad
companies by shipping silks and other
fine goods In Cases marked domestics,
and to avoid accommodating at low
rates another class Of merchants. who
do most of their business by ship and
steamer. only patronizing the railroad
when compelled to do SO. Since the
circular Was issued our agents have en-
tered into large number of annual
contracts for all freight to be shipped
by the leading houses in San Francisco
and New York at satisfactory rates.
We have made contracts with two large
New York, firms, which will pay Us at
least $50. 600 d year on freight account.
and they receive rates below the old Sc
schedule. Where long time credits are
made at either end of the continent the
Union Pacific Company does not pre-
tend to demand increased rates.

We notice in one of our exchanges 8
statement to the effect that the Presi
dent in his promised special message on
'civil reform" will recommend the elec
ton of all postmasters, except those in
q few of the larger cities, by the people.
We hope the report is true, and that
the necessary changes in our postal laws
to accomplish such result may be made
soon. A move in this direction would
be reform that would amount to some.
thing. By this, however, we do not
mean to assert that we think the depart.
ment would be rendered more efficient
or the people be generally better served
by such change, but it would be more
in accordance with democratic form OF
government, and would remove from fu-
ture national administrations a very
grievous source of embarrassment. We
think a president and his cabinet
should not required to spend a large
amount of time that ought to be devoted
to more important matters, in settling
petty disputes over just what particular
person shall deal out mail matter in
in small towns all over the country.
The people can settle all these little
difficulties on election day, and save the
national administration time and vexa-
ton of spirit without end.
