Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1881-01-01
SACRAMENTO SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY 1,

connected with New Orleans by rail
over the level grades of the southern route,
the commercial lines to the final market for
our wheat will be shortened by 10000 miles.
We will then have constantly operative
means of transportation at what l have rea-
SOD to hope and believe will be reduced rates.
The average inland tonnage on our grain now
is about So so per ton. The average ocean
tonnage to Liverpool about S13 per ton, ag-
gregating SIC 30 per ton from the station or
landing to the ultimate market. By the
Southern Pacific Railroad the pro rata of
ocean to rail transportation will be reversed.
The tonnage rate from New { aaus to Liv-
erpool will not exceed So yr ton thus
leaving Sl1 80 per ton as the pro rata to rail
transportation, and without increasing the
aggregate rate. If expectation in this direc-
ton is well founded, the wheat product of
California will possess higher advantages in
the market than hitherto enjoyed. The COM
pletion of this southern route will introduce
the now wanting element of competition with
the long voyage around Cape Horn. It will
also enable the shipper to receive quicker re-
turns. Its fucther advantages will be found
in the opening of markets for the orchard and
dairy products of southern California, and it
is within the range of possibilities to ship
green fruit and fresh beef to the English
market by that route. At this time fresh
beef is shipped from points on the Missouri
and Mississippi rivers by way of New Orleans
to England, and the time from Sacramento
by rail to the Crescent City is shorter than
the time from Kansas City to the same point
by water"
That Sacramento is the natural base for the
inland commerce of the coast is no longer dis
puted or doubted by those who have given
the changes to be wrought in the immediate
future thoughtful and intelligent considera-
ton. With the growth of population in the
great inlying valleys the population of Sacra-
mento will keep even pace.

BELLEVUE, La,
THURSDAY: :::::::::::APRn %, 1881.

LIS it not astonishing that so little
comparatively has been done in tho
way Of manufacturing in the South
The way to- wealth is in manufac
turing. Fhe Northern people under
stand this. They take raw materia
worth 10 cents and work it up ant
sell it for 100 cents. When will The
South-when will Louisianians Learn
this secret-this lesson?
Go into our stores and work shops
and you will find a thousand aticles
for sale at thousand per cent. ad
vance on the cost of the raw mate
rial, said material being produced in
the South, but manufactured in the
North ard sold to our inert and
blind people.
Louisiana has the raw cotton, the
forests, the water, the laborers, the
capital. Why not utilize them? Why
be hewers of wood and makers OF
cotton for the North when the profit
lies in the manufacturing?
We iasist that anything that can
be manufactured profitably in any
part Of tho North out of material
transported from the South can and
ought to be manufactured Herein
Louisiana. We contend most siren
1ously that fthere is money for the
Northern manufacturer in making
yarns and cloth; in producing iron
and steel; in making glass and fur
Aiture and vehicles and all sorts of
agricultural implements and hollow
ware and machinery and tools and
so on, the raw material of which
either comes from the South or is
found in great abundance in the
South, that there is money also for
the Southern manufacturers in the
same articles. If there is industry
and skill and economy in manage
n1ent there must be profit-there
must be wealth. The enterprise and |
drive of the North would soon con.
vert the South into the richest Sec
tiOn of the world.

Burb0nism vs.. Jac0binism.

Theavidity with which the organs oil
stalwart Radicalism seize upon every
opportunity to insult and misrepre.
sent our people is aptly illustrated
in the offensive application of the
word Bourbon to the Democracy of
the South, implying that their con.
servatism is such that they learn
nothing new and forget nothing old.
AS matter of fact and argument,
no one understands better than our
enemies how puerile, false and unjust
is the assertion, but as a party weap-
on of ridicale and taunt it serves it's
purpose well, Notwithstanding it's
essential and elementary defect of
justice and truth. There are some
things, indeed, which we would not
have the South forget. We would
not have her forget that high sense
OF honor which feels a stain like a
wound, that courageous devotion to
principle, in the support of which
her sons have ever willingly shed
their blood and laid down their lives.
that chivalrous sentiment of graft
tude which prompts her to spurn
with unutterable loathing the sug-
gestion of falsehood to friends in
order that she might feed from flesh.
pots of her enemies. These things
we would not have her forget, and
she has not forgotten them, and if it
is necessary to forget them to rid
herself of bourbonism, then her PEG.
pie will live and die Bourbons.
The South has, indeed, forgotten
much and forgiven more. She has
accepted in good faith the results of |
the war, she has yielded unmurmur.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

Washington, March 1S.-The follow
is statement of the committee places
allotted to the Colorado senators by
the final action of the senate to-day:
Teller becomes chairman of the PEN
sions committee, remains on claims and
railroads, and is made member of the
committee on privileges and elections,
and on epidemic diseases. Hill is made
chairman of the committee ON mines
and mining, remains on the public
lands committee, and is made mem
Der of the committee on civil service.
The democratic senators this session
are given three places, and the republic
cans at least four each, which exactly
reverses the arrangement during last
session. Malone, as a member of the
majority on the question of organiza-
tion, is gwen four places, one of them
being the craftsmanship of the commit
tee on agriculture. His other positions
are, on naval affairs, postofices and
post roads, and education and labor.
The cabinet to-day discussed the
question of calling an extra session of
congress. 1t is thought an extra ses-
sion will be called to meet between the
1st and 18th Of May.
Minister Noyes has cabled that the
French government has agreed that all
pork loaded upon ships before the pas
sage of the French decree concerning
pork imported from the United States,
shall be admitted into France, subject
to inspection, and with as little delay as
such examination will permit.
The prospects of favorable report
from the new Judiciary committee, on
Stanley Matthews nomination, are not
considered encouraging by his friends,
although Edmunds is absent and Thur
man is no longer In position to oppose
it. The impression is abroad, also, that
Prest. Garfield sent in this name only
in pursuance of his general policy to
renew all the recent nominations made
by Hayes, which failed to receive ac-
tion, and that he is really apathetic in
regard to Matthews confirmation.
In the executive session to-day, the
Chinese treaties were taken from the
taken from the table and referred to the
newly appointed committee on foreign
relations. They will undoubtedly be
reported back with favorable recon.
mendation early next week. The COM
mittee now consists of Senators Burn
side, Conkling, Edmunds, Miller, Fer
ry, Johnston, Morgan, Hill, of Georgia,
and Pendleton. Edmunds will be alb.
sent in Florida during the rest of the
session, and at least five of the remain
ing members will favor the ratification
Of the treaties without amendment.

Paris, March 1S.-Rochefort's letter
to the hntransiqeant from Geneva says
that Roussakoff joined the nihilists only
few days before the assassination of
the car. Rochefort supplements the
letter by telegram stating that up to
Monday night, at least, Roussakoff had
confessed nothing. The nihilists pre-
tend that they have taken every meas
ure to keep themselves informed as to
what passes in his prison, and that in
few days they will be able to publish
an accurate report of all the interroga-
tories to which he has been submitted.
Rochefort's dispatch adds: Had the
first shell missed the emperor, three
others would have been thrown before
he reached the palace.

all attempts to put in new officers.
Their plan of action will be decided at
a caucus on Monday. Those opposing

say the present employees are not pre-
pared for so sudden dismissal, as they
believed the democrats had the organ
ization. The republicans expect and
are prepared for stubborn contest
Davis will not filibuster, but the rest OF
the democrats car make stand for a
few days. The republicans will prob.
ably consider the matter on Monday.

London, March 1S.-Lord Macarthur
is one of the liberal members for Lam
