No MORE EASTERN EXCURSIONS We
published few days since the substance of a
circular issued by the Central Pacific Rail-
road Company, notifying the public that no
one had authority to get up excursions to the
East under promise of cheaper rates or better
accommodations and travelling facilities, as
the purchaser of one emigrsnt ticket could
get it IS cheaply and have as much favor
shown as though he was member Of an eX-
cursion party. Last Thursday the Transcon-
tinentsl Association of Railroads issued an
order prohibiting all east bound emigrant ex-
cursion trains over all roads west of the Mis-
souri river. The order is signed by 7. H.
Goodman, for the G. P, S. p, G. II. & S.

EXECUTIVE PARDoNs George
Stoneman has granted pardons as follows to
parties in the State Prison Fl. T. Garrett,
a San Francisco burglar G. J. Hutchinson,
8 forger He also committed the sentence of
Carrie Norton, so that she will be released
from custody in June next. She, in cOnnec-
ton with her parsmour, Jack Cotton, muir
dered her husband in 1876. The murder was
looked upon as old-blooded and fisndish, and
the pair came near being lynched at the time
BY the excited populace at Santa Barbara.
They had trial. which WAS prolonged for
weeks, resulting in their both being sent to
the State Prison for life. Mrs. Norton seems
to have had friends with money and iIhu-
ence, who have, since her incarceration, been
importuning the different Governors for her
pardon, or at least a communication of her sem
tence. Governors Irwin and Perkins refused
to consider their petitions.
THE WELL.-A reporter met State off,
cial in the Capitol grounds yesterday, and.
addressing the officer, remarked: "Well,
what is the news" "Well that is what is
bothering me. The we'll ia deep quss.
tiou, nnd unless we put q stop to it l am
afraid it will be grave question before the
Legislature is over, at least il they don't keep
better whisky than they did last" "1hsy
don't propose to run the we'll during the
coming session, do they p DO they ? Well,
you Just ought to see the applications that
the Secretary of State has for that rum cell
In the basement of the State Capitol. Why,
the prices they offer for the privilege of SELL
ing Democrats enthusiasm are perfectly fab
ulous. OF course there is lots of money in
it." We'll, who is going to get away with
it ?" Il understand that the business is to
be let to Chris Buckley and will be sublet by
him."
MATTERS AT KNIGHTS LANDISG-The
Woodland Democrat has the following: "a
reliable party informs our reporter that the
last load of piling has arrived at the Land
ing. and that G. +. Reed is prosecuting the
-, l.
that by Saturday night it will be entirely
closed. TIE water has so far receded that the
grain and alfalfa land is in no danger, as the
slough is now capable of carrying the surplus
water. The levees built by Mr.. Reed and
Sir Lester Kaye have not been damaged 30
