PROPOSED DOUBLE TRAcK.-The Vallejo
Chronicle says:
Great improvements are projected by the
railroad company for their line from Port
Costa to Oakland. The number of acct.
dents that have recently occurred between
these two points has made it evident that
the track facilities for the enormous traffic
of the road are insufficient 1t has been
decided to lay a second track FROM Port
Costa to Oakland, making double line
between these two stations. This improve.
ment will make travel safer and speedier,
for trains can then run safely at higher
rate OF speed than now with only one track.
The business of the road between Port
Costa and the city has grown rapidly since
the wheat wharves have been put up.
Starts mills and Heald's foundry have
added largely to the business of the road.
In addition to this the great travel to the
Napa valley is by the way Of Vallejo juno.
ton, which augments the number Of trains
on this part of the road. This improvement
will add greatly to the comfort of passen-
gers, because il will diminish the great risk
which they have always run of being
dashed into eternity by collision. 1t is
now more definitely known what is going
to be done to afford passengers at Vallejo
Junction better accommodation. The sta.
tion-house is to be extended out over the
bay twelve feet, and the pier is to be en-
larged. This will afford very good accom-
modations. In addition to this shed is
to be extended over the board wharf in
| front of the station. house.

ENFORCED DUTY,

a proposition is being discussed at the
East to make the exercise of the privilege
of suffrage duty under punishment. That
is to say, if citizen for two or three years
refrains from voting, the right TO vote
should be taken from him. This looks
well enough on paper, but when we are
sion Of public opinion from the people, we
confess to a lamentable lack of patriotism,
and such dilution OF the blood of good
citizenship that the original stock may be
looked upon as well nigh extinct. We ad-
NIT that it is the duty, the bounden duty,
of the citizen to do his share of the labor
to conserve the general good that the
neglect TO do SO is positive injury to the
social and political system that the down
fall of ths fair Republic, if it comes about,
will be due to this neglect of a privilege
that rises superior to duty, since it isthe
privilege of king, by divine right of man
TO be free and independent but for all
this, the privilege ceases to be one when it
is an enforced duty; it is no longer the
free will expression of the citizen when the
failure to avail of it is accompanied by a
penalty. This Government must exist by
the free will and free consent of the gov.
erned, and no constraint used to gain con
sent or expression of will can produce the
desired result.

A PROPOSED AMENDMENT.

The constitutional amendment proposed
by Senator Wilson provides that Congress
may legislate to protect citizens in the ex.
ercise and enjoyment of their rights, priv
ileges and immunites, and to assure them
the equal protection of the laws. 1t ap-
pears to us that this is not needed. How
can any citizen be deprived lawfully of any
right, privilege or immunity? The laws
are now equal to the need the proposed
amendment assumes to exist. If they
were not there would be no such thing as
American citizenship; if they were not
there could be and would be no Republic. If
Congress has not now the power the pro-
posed amendment affirms, then there is no
free government. The essence, aim and
outcome of the whole system of our Govern
ment depends upon the security to the cit
izen Of rights, privileges and immunities,
and the protection of the laws. To adopt
the amendment and deny that it is I'M.
necessary, is to admit that we have en-.
joyed the privileges of citizenship all these
years by the sufferance OF each other-a
proposition that cannot for a moment be
entertained. To admit the necessity for
such an amendment is to confess that there
is now some authority that may lawfully
deprive citizens OF their rights-auother
proposition that is as abhorrent as it is alb
surd. We are firmly impressed with the
belief that the submission of the amend
ment Will be dangerous precedent, rec
ignition of weakness and flaw in the
Constitution that has never, as a matter
OF fact, existed The overwhelming
purpose and l1ftiest aim of our form OF
Government, expressed through the me.
dunn Of the constitutional compact, is to
afford the citizen protection, to guarantee
to him the enjoyment of all rights and
privileges not surrendered for the common
good, which is to be conserved by laws
agreed to by the majority of those who
make the cession OF rights. 1t is not
needed, therefore, that the Constitution
shall say to Congress, " You shall have
power to do that which is already done.
To admit that it is not accom- lshed is to
confess that the laws are inadequate is to
admit that citizenship is a caprice, a hol.
low sham All that the Iowa Senator pro-
poses to inject into the Constitution is
there row. II it were not, the instrument
would have Disclosed the lack the moment
the slightest strain was put upon it. The
amendment is not needed to counteract
the civil rights decision, because that opin-
ion expressly holds that the laws are
ample to secure all the rights of citizen
ship, and that there is and can be no dis.
tinction between citizens. For these rea.
sons We think that not only is there no
necessity for the amendment, but that it's
adoption will open a door to all sorts of
patchwork protective legislation by Con-
gress, which in turn will stimulate dis
position to evade it and crawl between its
lines

gress desire representatives Of fores. de-
struction and denudation Of wooded
mountain slopes, we can pack that Con-
gress and defy all competitors. We can
instruct the Scotch, English, French and
Germans how to send sheep and cattle into
the hills to feed on the tender growth, CIR
die the younglings of the forest, and tramp
down the soil SO firmly that the seeds of
autumn cannot sink into the earth. We
can instruct them as can no others on the
art of burning forests, on the science OF
telling timber regardless of river sources,
the supplies of their tributaries, or the
rainfall and temperature of the valleys.
We can give them points OF which they
do not dream, on timber thieving, tree
stripping, ETC., and convince them how lit
tie we value the great conservators of mois-
ture and an equable climate. But while
these things would serve only to astonish
the European native, and put his good
breeding upon severe trial, still we trust
that Congress will provide representation
fof the United States at the Edinburgh
Congress. The men can go to the conven-
ton, remain silent listeners and learn, and
come back, probably, with information
that will fully compensate the country for
the cost and trouble, and that may serve
to arouse the American people from shame
less apathy on vital question.

4 RIVAL OF DR.. TANNER

The Marysville Appeal of December
25th furnishes the following: Thomas
Flaherty, on conviction of battery, was SEN
fenced to ninety days imprisonment in the
County Jail by Judge CARRIER, November
u, 1883. As soon as Flaherty was com.
mitted he resolved to feign sickness, in or
der to shun imprisonment and gain admis.
sion to the County Hospital. Under Sher.
riff Aldrich notified Dr. Harrington in re-
gard to the mans complaints, and he
called and gave him an examination.
Flahertys tongue was found to be- clean
and his pulse regular, and the doctor de
clined to remove him to the hospital. But
the prisoner, the better to maintain his
false representation, refused to eat his
meals. This abstemiousness he continued
from day to day, and all the prisoners de-
clared that he did not swallow crumb of
bread or piece of meat. The man was
losing flesh daily, and moved about the
prison like a sick person liable to die any
day. Twice week the physician made an
examination of the complaining man,
but found no symptoms of disease. I'M
der the facts and circumstances, officer
Aldrich refused to intercede for the
transfer of the prisoner, believing
as he did that he was feigning sickness.
These conditions continued unchanged for
forty days. The prisoner refused ali kinds
of nourishment, and grew poorer and
poorer. But hunger pinched little too
hard on the fortieth day, and Mr. Flaherty
finally confessed his attempt at imposition
He said he had played the dodge success
fully in the army and in three different
county jals, and he was confident CT sue
cess this time when he commenced. But
the prisoner lost both his game and his
flesh. He surrendered on the DIST instant,
and is almost Calvin Edison. His appetite
has returned as suddenly as it disappeared.
He has about fifty days to serve. and io
making up for lost time. He is voracious,
eating his own meals and as much more as
he can borrow or beg from his comrades.
He was stripped at the end of his forty
days fast, and found to be a first class
subject for the study of anatomy and dis
section. The prisoner is supposed to have
lost about forty pounds of flesh. Flaherty
is at present in the enjoyment of excellent
health, and has no longing for nursing at
the County Hospital.

ADULTBRATBD WINES.

Eastern observers and experts declare
that the Consular reports OF wine adultera-
ton exposures in Europe are alarming
our dealers. 1t is a fact that nearly all
cheap wines are falsifed or blended, and
where the mixing fails of effect, spirit
is added TO give piquancy and strength,
The great mass of imported claret, says
one authority, is the result Of wine sent
from Spain, Portugal and Italy to France,
to be made into claret. 1t is bad enough
to have them doctored when they arrive
but It is now shown that they are adulter-
ated in the original cellars before being
shipped to France. All these proofs give
additional force to the argument in favor OF
home products. So long as wine is to be
used, the logic OF facts establishes the VIE
dom Of fsvoring the home article, over
which we may put police regulations to pre-.
vent adulseration. 1t is no longer necessary
to enter upon the examination of proofs as
to the genuineness of most foreign wines,
since the country is convinced that the
larger proportion sent to US are false in
more respects than one.

A CHASTITY FrxD.-The following i

A CHASTITY FIND.-The following is
rom the Adrin (Modoc county Argus:
When the head of human being was
found few weeks ago in the vicinity Of
Willow Ranch, Modoc county, it was
Immediately presumed by all to be the
head of S. B. Shaw, who had been muir
dered at Madeline Plains, and whose head
is missing Later developments go far to
prove that another mysterious murder has
been committed A few days ago frag.
mentary parts OF human anatomy were
discovered near where the skull was found;
they are believed to belong to it. At pres
ent little is known in regard to the matter,
but Sheriff Rackford is working up the
case. In July last, John Casey, an Irish
man, who had been in the employ OF Mrs.
Hotchkiss, near Willow Ranch, for over a
year, quit work and was paid come $3.50.
He gsmbled some, and showed consider
able money. Casey stated to acquaiRt-
ances that he intended to 60 to the north
ern country immediately, and although
none knew of his departure, he was sup
posed TO have gone. 1t is now thought
that the CHASTITY remains discovered near
Willow Ranch are those Of John Casey.

PRESIDENTIAL ISSUES.

E. V. Smalley, in a recent essay in the
atlantic Monthly on The Political Field, +"
in declaring that there is in reality very
little to divide the parties as now organ
lied, uses language which we cannot better
present than by quotation. 1t is: with.
out taking into account the changes in
public sentiment which may be affected by
the doings of Congress at its present ses-
sion, the prospects for the near Presiden-
tial contest are that the two old parties
will face each other in the northern States
with about the same show of relative
strength, distributed in about the same
way as in $780, A close and exciting
campaign will probably ensue, yet it is diff
ticult to foresee what the parties are going
to fight about. No important public ques.
ton now alive and open divides them.
Towards no such question does one party
take a decided and unanimously affirma-
tive position, and the other an equally
unanimous and decided negative. Civil
service reform, the internal revenue sys-
TEN, the tariff, national banking silver
currency, postal telegraphy, disposition of
the surplus, internal improvements, the
restoration of our ocean commerce, the con-
struction of navy, positive foreign pol
icy-is there any one of these topics of cur
rent national interest concerning which the
two parties take issue? 1t may be said
that a majority of the Republican party
favor the civil service system recently in
troduced, and that majority Of the Dem.
ocrats do not that a majority of the Dem
ocratic party oppose the protective tariff
system, and majority of the Republicans
sustain it, and so on through most of the
lists, but in each question there is a major.
ity of one party siding with a minority Of
the other. In this muddled condition of
opinion neither party seems willing to
select a few questions formulate them
plainly, assume positive attitude towards
them, ard ask verdict of the voters upon
them" While we may, for arguments
sake, admit all this, still let US ask Mr..
Smalley, and all who think on the subject,
why, in such condition of things, any
change should be made Does the
Democratic party hold out any hope, or
does it's past history give any guarantee
that the country, even if it is devoid of
issues the parties are safe to divide upon,
will be benefited by the custer of the Re.
publican party. and the substitution of the
Democracy? Certainly not.

SAD AND SUDDEN DEATH.-The Marys-
vile Appeal of December 25th prints the
following:
George CORTLAND, aged Is years, only
son of j. a. Wilkinson, of Suffer county.
died at the family residence, four miles
west of Yuba City, last Saturday evening,
of heart disease. The death of young
Wilkinson occurred under peculiar and at.
fecting circumstances. The deceased came
to this city on Saturday, and after dispos-
ing of lot of fowls purchased a number
of Christmas presents. Among the number
was dictionary, which he selected for his
father. While in the act of presenting this
much priced gift to his father (who is Grip
pied from rheumatism and confined to his
chair the son fell to the floor and expired
within few minutes. The active exer-
cises of the day, together with the excite
ment incident to the presentation of the
gift to his father, lead to the sudden snd
uulooked-for death. The funeral of the
deceased was attended yesterday by SYM
pathizing neighberhood, the burial taking
place at the Yubs City Cemetery.
