The FIRST SHELL.-The Assembly cast its
first shell into the railroad camp yesterday
by tho introduction Of bill by Waldorf to
reduce freight rates on the railroads having
termini in the State to ten cents per mile per
ton, and fixing passenger rates at five cents
per mile. resolution was adopted by a
vote of 20 to 10, which read substantially as
follows:
Resolved, That the Committee on Corpora
tons be instructed to investigate the charges
for carrying freight and passengers by rail-
roads whose termini are in this State to the
end that fair and equitable legislation may
be had in accordance with the ratio existing
between the receipts of the road, the value Of
the property, and the cost of construction
and that the committee be authorized to send
for persons and papers to further the investi
gation.
The resolution was opposed by Coffin and
Johnson in speeches, and also by Drexler,
Mooney and Pennoyer of Storey. The fight
may now be considered fairly opened, and
matters will grow more and more interesting
as the session advance. Both sides have
learned considerable by experience, and if
the vote on the resolution amounts 10 any
thing it means that tho people start into the
fight with good majority, and mean to
push the battle with vigor.

A QUESTION OF VERACITY.

a few days ago the APPEAL published a
document in the for m Of special contract be-
tween the Central Pacific Railroad Company
and a merchant doing business in Eastern
Nevada. In this contract the Central Pacific
Railway Company covenant and agree to
ship freight for the merchant at much lower
rates than other patrons of the road are
charged for the same service. The contract
specifically admits that these rates are dis
eliminating rates. One clause reads as fol-
lows:
In consideration of the foregoing special
rates of freight, which are LOWER THAN THE
PUBLISHED TARIFF, the party of the second
part hath covenanted and agreed, and doth
hereby covenant and agree to ship or cause
to be shipped by way of the te"rra. if,"'hr
Railroad all the goods, wares a"'' In.rc''an-
disc purchased by or for and shipped by or
consigned to said party of the second part
from the points which may be reached by
way of Toano and the Central Pacific Kali
road.
In reply to a letter emanating from the New
York Chamber of Commerce, making inquir-
les to the railroad managers regarding dis
ordinations, ETC., Leland Stanford replies:
ers Justify the practice of giving low rates to
some shippers and refusing them TO other. on
the ground of development of business in
certain localities. Is 1t
consistent with the public welfare and the
rights of citizens to allow railroad managers
to decide what persons and places shall be
thus DEVELOPER" l shall not say anything
to justify discrimination agains individuals
and communities, but content myself on this
head by simply stating that such has never
been practiced by the railroad companies
with which am connected.
Now, if what Stanford saysis true, then the
agents of his company are issuing, without
his knowledge, special contracts to shippers.
No one will for moment suppose that Stan
ford IL Co. manage a business which they
allow agents to run. The APPEAL has "spe-
cial rate" contract in its possession. 1t is
printed bears the words "Otfice of Gem
trail Pacific Railway Company" at the hea d.,
and is signed by the freight agent of the
company. The only explanation of the dis
crepency between the contract and Stanford S
letter is that he knowingly, iwillfully and de-
liberately lies. The letter written by STAN
ford is one of those confusing and evasive
documents which he is so fond of writing
when the Legislatures of California and Ne
vada are in session. He begs the question
from the beginning, and question eight, put
to him by the committee from the Now York
Chamber of Commerce, he does not answer
at all. Having lied in this particular in
stance, it is safe to assume that all OF the
assertions he makes in the letter are also
br aZen falsehoods.

The INDIAN HEAVEN AND HELL.-The
deceased Indian has, according to them, q
long journey to take towards the west, until
he comes to deep rushing river, which sepa
rates him from the happy hunting grounds
The two shores of this river are connected by
long pine trunk, stripped of bark and pol
ished, which must be used as bridge. The
good man passes with firm and secure step
across this slippery bridge, reaches the happy
hunting grounds, and enters on the possession
of eternal youth and strength. His sky is al
ways clear, cool breeze is perpetually blow
ing for him, and he passes his time in sailing,
hunting, dancing, and boundless felicity. The
bad man, when be steps upon the bridge, sees
the two overhanging shores totter, he attempts
to escape, and falls into the abyss below, where
the water is rushing with the sound of thun'
der over rocks; where the air is poisoned by
the exhalations from dead fish and other
animal bodies, and the water whirling round
and round, brings him always back to the
same point, where all the trees are withered
where it swarms with Lizards, snakes and
toads; where the dead are hungry, and have
nothing to eat; where the living live dis
eased life and cannot die. The shores are
covered with thousands Of these unhappy be-
ings, who climb up to get glance into the
happy hunting grounds, which they can never
enter.

THE WORKING MEN.

This nation owes everything to her working
men. Idlers, men of leisure or drones, have
been an incubus, which must have held her
back and ruined her, but for the powerful intel.
lects, the stalwart arms and the enterprise of
our working men. They are the true nobility OF
the land, whose wise counsels, untiring indus
try and indomitable energy, have pushed her
forward with giant strides, among the nations
of the earth. In this classification we include
men of all work whether it be the labor of
the intellect or the physical man. Degrada-
tion of position does not inhere necessarily to
either class. The man who labors with his
hands, or delves and tolls under the pressure
of manual labor, is as much man, nay, as
much a gentleman, other things being equal,
as the man who labors with his mind, closed
in from the burning rays of the sun, or shell
tered from the chill winds and rains of mid
winter. Both are working men, and are
equals, if they be men Of sound principles
and virtuous habits or both are equal ii
alike degraded by vicious conduct.
The conventional and irrational rules Of so.
ciety, unsound as it has become, we know,
make distinctions where there is no difference;
stamping with honor and position men who
belong to that class of working men, whose
employments are intellectual, and too often
branding with disgrace those who labor with
their hands, and from whose brow flows the
sweat of toll. But who does not see the in
Justice and baseness of this? Does the voca.
tion Of doctor, a lawyer a merchant, possess
any intrinsic excellence per &c. over the voca:
ton of mechanic? We think not All
are essential to the wellbeing of society, and
equally so-yet superior wealth have raised
the one, while the lack of these have de-
pressed the other. Yet the poor laborer is a
more important fixture, in some respects, than
either Of the others. His hands feed and
clothe and provide the conveniences and lux
uries of life for them. Without him, time
and means would be denied them for the pur'
suit of knowledge or wealth. Indeed. if there
be wealth and intelligence and happiness and
prosperity in the land, we owe it to that class
of men who are not too indolent or too much
ashamed to obey the divine command, to work
with their own hands.
Every man should work. His own health
and virtue, and happiness, and the good Of
society, demand it. Labor, in no sense, il
degrading. But there are disabilities con
nected with manual labor which often lead tc
degradation and ruin. Men whose lot OF
choice may be to engage in the mechanica
or agricultural pursuits, should be placed II
position in early life to acquire intelligence
to receive the bias and bent of virtuous ed
ucation, so as to fit them to take positions If
society, which they can rightfully claim, be-
cause Of their essential Importance to man
kind. Intelligence and virtue are as precious

A SERMON ON THE WORD MALT.

| Inc ReV. Mf. u, q very WOrCny HILL
lister who lived few miles from c., had
rendered himself obnoxious to many of the
cantabs by frequently preaching against
drunkenness, several of whom, meeting him
on journey, they determined to make him
preach in hollow tree which was near the
road. Accordingly, addressing him with
great apparent politeness, they asked him If
he had not preached much against drunken
ness? On his replying in the affirmative,
they insisted that be should now preach from
text of their choosing. In vain did he re-
monstrate on the unreasonableness OF expect
ing him to give them discourse without
study and in such place they were deter.
mined to take no denial, and the word "Malt,"
was given him for a text, on which he imme.
diately delivered himself as follows
Beloved, let me crave your attention. l
am little man, come at short warning. to
preach a short sermon, from small subject,
in an unworthy pulp to a small congrega-
ton. Beloved, my text is Malt I cannot
divide it into words, being but one-nor in.
to syllables, it being but one-1 must, there
fore, of necessity, divide it into letters, which
find to be these four NAL T. M, my
beloved, is moral ; A, is allegorical L, is
literal and T, is theological. The moral is
set forth to teach you drunkards good man
ners therefore, M, masters, A, all of you,
L, listen, T, to my text: the allsgorical is
when anything is spoken, and another thing
is meant the thing spoken Of is malt-the
thing meant, is the juice of malt; which
you cantabs make M, your masters, A, your
apparel, L, your liberty, and T., your trust.
The theological is according to the effects that
it works, and these, find to be of two kinds,
1st in this world; End in the world to come.
The effects that it works in this world, are
in some, M, murder, in another, A, adultery,
in all, L, looseness of life, and in some,
+, treason. The effects in the world to come:
are M, misery A, anguish; l., lamenta.
tions T, torment and so much for this
time and text I shall improve the first by
way of exhortation. M, masters, A, all Of
you, L, leave of, T, tipling; or second by

In THE JEWISH FoRM-In the course
of preliminary examination yesterday, in
one of our suburban towns, of man charged
with committing burglary, a person of Jewish
persuasion was called upon the stand. The
counsel for the respondent requested that the
witness be sworn in the Jewish form. Against
this the court ventured mild protest The
court could not conceive that it was necessary.
1t was not, the court believed, according to
general usuage But the counsel persisteutly
demanding that the witness should be sworn
Jew fashion, the following colloquy ensued {:
The Court-Will the counsel suggest the
mcde of swearing which he proposes?
Counsel-Certainly; he must be sworn
with hat on, with the right hand on the
book of Moses, and the face towards the east.
The Court-Precisely SO; was about pro.
ceeding in that manner.
The Justice accordingly rose from bis seat,
put on his own hat, put his own hand on the
book of Moses, turned his own face towards
the east, and administered the usual oath to
the witness. The trio of lawyers who were
present Immediately went into convulsions,
and laughed so immoderately that the court
felt it necessary to take them to task tor in.

The SURE Road TO A CONFERENCE.-THE
one man in FIVE hundred will make fortune
But competence and an independent posi-
ton is within the reach of most men. This
is obtained most surely by patient industry
and economy. If man has ordinary talent
and ability in any profession or business, or
trade, he can, by pursuing an economical, per-
severing course, be pretty sure Of finally ob'
tanning an independent position in life. Let
his expense fall below his income Let him
live cheap, very cheap, if necessary; but let
him be sure and let his income more than
cover his expense. 1t can be done in almost
all cases, Notwithstanding the positive denial
of ever 80 many housekeepers. A man may
not have more than two or three hundred
dollars year, and may have family as
large as John Rodgers, and he can find way
to live comfortably, and lay up something
into the bargain. There is much, nay all, in
knowing how the thing is done. And that is
the very thing people who are going to make
money have got to learn. 1t is wonderful
how few real wants we have, and how little it
takes to give US genuine happiness. If we
could pet rid of our artificial, senseless, and
expensive way of living, we should find our.
selves better off in purse, in prospect, and in
heart. Let any one who has any ambition to
60 ahead in life, try the experiment this year,
and see how much virtue there is in economy.
Make your expenses less than your income,
and see how much you will have gained, not
only in money, but in the feeling that you are
in the condition which the Yankee denomina'
ted "forehanded." Try it this year.

HoMELY.-What if you are as homely as
a log hut ?-don't cry about it. Let goodness
of heart make up for outward looks. A lady
with eyes that resembled peeled onions, and a
nose as crooked as a politicians creed-a chin
like hoe, and mouth like jack-knife. will
be more respected and beloved, by those
whose opinion it is worth ones pains to secure,
if she possesses good heart and kind dispo'
sition, than if she were as beautiful as Mil
tons Eve, with a corkscre disposition and
a heart of lead. The wise never iudge from
the complexion of skin, or the symmetry of
the form, but from the virtues of the heart
and corresponding life.
