ist in the present case, but most assuredly
they have not been made public, nor do
they lie on the surface. The convenience
and well-being of the public ought, it
might be supposed, to constitute a check
upon hasty action in so important case,
but there is nothing to show that the
Court took the possible consequences
of its extraordinary order into its
consideration for a moment Nor
does it now look as though any effort would
| be made by the receiver to operate the road
from Folsom to Single Springs. The only
effect of the order of the Court SO far has
been to iniure the public. 1t has not GER
tainly produced any benefit to the parties
of either part. There the road lies, idle
and useless, and there apparently it will
lie until there is nothing left of it but two
streaks of rust. The proceedings remind
one of one of those acts of the old English
Court of Chancery, by which houses and
estates were formerly so often tied up and
rendered useless for years, frequently in
deed until the property decayed and fell
into ruin in the hands of the Court. The
people here are the injured parties, how
ever, and it is pertinent question why
their convenience and needs have been SO
wantonly disregarded, and to SO little USE
full purpcse of any kind?

Archbishop nccabe's Lenten Pastor

Archbishop McCabe's Lenten Pastoral.
DUBLIN, March Following is the
reference to the Land League in Archbishop
McCabe's Lenten pastoral: Let nobody
accuse US of want of sympathy with the
great question of justice which now appeals
to Parliament for settlement. The cause is
just and holy. and carries with it the bless
ings of religion. Among the terrible mis-
takes made formerly by the rulers of this
unhappy land, there is none perhaps which
viii exceed in folly that which will be now
committed if the vital question of tenure of
land holdings is not settled now and forever,
on just principles to all. So convinced are
we that full and honest settlement of this
angry controversy is essential to the temporal
happiness and moral and religious interests
of our countrymen, that if the sacrifice
of our blood could lead to the
contamination of this grand act of justice,
we would make that sacrifice. Whilst
we bless the end now aimed at, we must
again proclaim that some of the means en-
ployed in the struggle cannot receive the
sanction of religion. The modesty of her
daughters was the ancient-glory of Ireland;
but all this is now to be abandoned, and our
daughters are summoned, under the himsy
pretext Of charity, to take their stand in the
noisy arena of public life The pretext of
charity is merely assumed, for already we
have holy associations or men and women
who do works of mercy for the poor and
afflicted, and even the harsh laws now COM
ing in force have mercifully provided for the
families of those falling under their power"

THE WORLDS FAIR.


The indications are that the long talked
of Worlds Fair, which was to have been
held at New York, viii fall to the ground
through lack of financial backing. A good
deal of encouragement is felt by the pro-
jectors, if we are to believe General Grant,
because the capitalists, and particularly
the great Eastern railroad companies, have
not shown enough enthusiasm in the mat
ter. Two OF these railroads are expected
to contribute about million and a half to
the project, and they appear to think that
they might find better investments for
their funds. Perhaps the anti-monopoly
crusade which is just now being preached
SO fercely in New York, may have cooled
their ardor in regard to the Worlds Fair.

THE pLAcgRv1LLE RAILROAD COMPANY

When the railroad between Folsom and
Single Springs was placed in the hands of
receiver recently, owing to that extraor-
binary judicial order which compelled the
owners of the road to choose between depos.
iting nearly $500, 900 as security for an al.
legged claim amounting to some $40, 900 and
interest, and the abandonment of their
property, it was stated, on the part of the
parties of the other part, that an effort
would be made to operate this piece of
road. So far as is known however nothing
has yet been done in this direction, and the
population of the country through which
the line passes have been forced to submit
to very great inconvenience and injury in
consequence of the cessation of operation.
This is in many respects very extra
ordinary case. The action of the Court
in requiring the proprietors of the
road to deposit sum so enormously
in excess of any admitted claim against the
property, is one of those legal mysteries
which so frequently battle and perplex the
uninitiated. Itwould almostseem that there
had been desire somewhere to compel the
suspension of the road, though it is diff.
cult to perceive what possible object this
could serve beyond the injury OF the pub
lie depending upon it for transportation.
Certainly Court ought TO possess very
strong and sound reasons for making an or
der which presented such alternatives as
we have indicated. These reasons may sx-

WHAT GERMANY WILL DO.

The German Government has expressed
a willingness to send representative to
the proposed international monetary con-
ference, on condition that she is not to be
bound by anything the conference. may
agree upon, and that in fact it is to be
looked on only as meeting for discussion
and for exchange of views. This position of
course makes it plain in advance that
Germany will have nothing to do with a
bimetallic basis arrangement, and as En-.
gland has made similar announcement
it is rather difficult to perceive the use of
holding the conference at all.

oscAR BABcocNs STORY.

A young San Franciscan named Oscar
Babcock suddenly disappeared several
months ago, taking with him large sum
of money, which we believe was however
hisown property. Nothing whatever was
heard of him until few days since, when
he turned up in Washington, D. c., with
a story to the effect that he had been
drugged, robbed. and transported to that
distant point. Further statements con.
corning the affair are to theeffectthat he was
entrapped by party of men who kept him
under the influence of some mysterious
drug all the way across the continent, and
who finally deposited him in an insane
asylum, whencehehas butrecently emerged.
Certainly this is very extraordinary
story, and the public are not to be blamed
ifashey question its credlbility. 1t is not
indeed at all new kind Of story. Within
the past ten years we have encountered
probably couple OF score of almost precise
ly similar narratives. But we do not
remember to have met with 3 single in.
stance in which the alleged facts were sub
stantiated, or the alleged mysterious con-
spirators were traced. 1t must occur to
most people as very remarkable that
thieves should think it necessary to in
cur such risks as must accompany the
transportation of drugged victim across
the continent, when they could so easily
have decamped with their spoils without
troubling themselves about his subsequent
fate. The idea of these druggings which
suspend the reason of the victims for
several months, moreover, Ia remarkable
one. What are these drugs? Where are
they procured? What chemists or medical
men are acquainted with their properties
And yet it is certain that stories almost
identical in their main features have
been told at intervals for several
years. There was the case of
Redpath, the lecture agent, who wandered
off, and, according to his account, sud-
denly found himself in Cuba. The files of
the newspapers contain dozens of similar
cases. What is the true explanation of
them' Are there really gangs of Thugs
among us' Are people really spirited away
and drugged into insanity, and put in
asylums' Or are men who get into trouble
through their own fault impelled by some
mysterious influence to tell always the
same kind of storyi There are many
very bewiIdering points about this matter,
whatever theory is adopted, and it would
be interesting if somebody like Mr.. Pink
srton, for instance, would tell the public
what he knows about the true inward
ness" of this peculiar class of disap-
pearances.

A CLOSE CALL.-The following is from
the .Mariposa Gazette, of March. 18th:
On Friday of last week, in the Yosemite
Valley, detached rock some eight feet
thick, sixteen wide, and about twenty feet
long, which stood as guard upon the out
side of the Great Sentinel Dome which
overhangs the valley opposite Leidig's
hotel, by some unknown cause deserted its
lofty position, and came laundering and
crashing down the precipice, carrying
everything before it. In its descent it
crossed McCauley's trail four times, cutting
perfect swath through the trees, until it
struck a giant pine, which, although it
yielded, was sufficient to stop its great force
and the large bowlder rested within two or
three hundred yards of McCauley's house
and residence. Had it not been for the
large pine tree, which the rock spent its
force against, it is quite probable that Nc
Cauley, with his family, would have been
crushed to death without the least warn.
ing. The falling of the rock, and the
terrible crash, smoke and dust, which lined
its pathway, attracted the attention of
quite number of inhabitants of the val
ley, many of whom Immediately visited the
locality, where, it is said, they found Me-
Cauley apparently unconscious of the great
danger he had SO miraculously escaped.
He said he heard the noise, but supposed it
was caused by large bodies of ice which
form on the waterfalls above, and have an
occasional tumbling off into the valley
below.

THE ORGANIZATION OF TIE SENATE

THE ORGANIZATION OF THE SENATE
The question of the organization of the
Senate viii be determined to-day. 1t has
afforded material for much conjectural dis.
cussion. and nobody appears TO know how
it will be arranged. Latterly it has been
bruited abroad that the Democrats would
consent to pair four of their number with
the four absent Republicans, though why
they should consent to do anything of the
kind is not at all clear. The practice with
partisans has always been TO take advar-
tage of every opportunity TO secure
power. If the Democrats are strong
enough to organize the Senate in the alb
sence of four Republicans, the natural
presumption Is that they viii avail them
selves of their strength. If they do not it
viii be because some compromise has been
made with them. But as Senator Davis
has declared his intention to stay with the
Democrats IN this matter of organization,
and as Mahone's position is as complete a
mystery as ever, we do not zee where the
Republicans are to obtain the votes which
it was yesterday reported that they relied
upon The Democrats, in fact, appear to
be masters of the situation at present No
doubt they may surrender their advantages
if they choose TO do so, and if the Repubi-
cans organize the Senate such surrender
viii have been made. Democrats as a rule,
however, do not deal much in this kind of
business, and if they change their tactics
on the present occasion the presumption
will be that it has been made worth their
while In some other way. The Republican
representations of success may be borne
out but so far as superficial view goes,
there is certainly very little to justify
them. and their fulfliment. therefore,
would be an agreeable disappointment.
