Slandered Citizens.

EDS. RECORD UNION The writer, to-
gether with many hundreds of other me-
chanics employed at the railroad works in
this city, have looked for some rebuke by
the RECORD UNION of the vile Islander con-
tanned in telegraphic dispatch from this
city published in the San Francisco Post on
the evening of the late city election. II
was an infamous libel on the TWO thousand
independent workmen employed in the
works mentioned, and must not go unchal-
lenged.
That dispatch virtually asserted that we
would vote according to dictation and
against the so-called Republican ticket.
In other words, that we would-after leav-
ing our days work-be herded together
and driven to the polls like sheep to the
slaughter-pen. No more infamous nor
contemplate SANDER was ever uttered
against any body of free, enlightened and
independent American citizens.
have been making some inquiry into
the matter of the source of this libel, in
order IF possible, to locate the monumental
liar who furnished such stuff for publica-
ton. But the nearest that l have been
able to come to it is that the Posts Sacra-
mento dispatches are sent from the Bee
office by one of its editorial " corpse" Il
think corpse" very fitting term to apply
to that concern just now.) The natural
presumption is that the scoundrelly libel
referred to emanated from that same
source.
1t stands the Bee in hand to clear its
skirts of this infamy, if it can. So far as ]
have been able to learn, the only influences
brought to bear on the employees of the
shops came from men connected with the
ring, and their efforts to lead independent
voters away from the path of duty met
generally with the contempt deserved

THE eastman CASE.
The Jury Give Plaintiff 1000 Damages
and Costs of Suit,


While this action was brought against
eastman, it is really suit against the
county of Sacramento. and it has conse-
quently attracted great deal of attention.
The amended complaint was filed on the
18th of July. 1887, and sets forth that on
the 10th ofSeptember, 1885, an injunction
was issued by the United States Circuit
Court, in the case of George eastman VS..
Amador and Sacramento Canal Company
ct al, against the plaintiff and others, re-
straining him from failing debris into
the Costumes river or its tribu
taries; that plaintiff was compelled to give
bond in the sum of $4,000 to stop work
in the Hill Top mine, and stop running
water through the Amador and Sacramento
canal for sixty four days; to employ coun-
money in various ways. That subsequently,
the same Court decided that said George
eastman was not entitled to the injunc-
ton.
The case has been on trial before Judge
Armstrong and a jury since tie 9th of
March, and Messrs. McKune & George, for
the plaintiff and Messrs. Beatty & Devlin,
for the defendant, have contested every inch
of the ground with energy. Plaintiff sues
for So 700, interest and costs.
1t was developed during the trial of the
case that eastman is an alien land owner
on the Costumes river, and at the time the
injunction proceedings were commenced in
the United States Circuit Court the Board
of Supervisors entered into written agree
ment with him by which they agreed TO
become responsible for all costs and dam
ages that might come. After the bond of
$4,000 had been given, the United States
Circuit Court decided that the injunction
would not hold, on the ground that it was
a collusive action and that eastman was
an alien. The case was appealed to the
Supreme Court of the United States, and
that Court sustained the decision of the
Circuit Court.
One of the most prominent features of
the case was the question of the proper
amount of attorneys fees to be allowed,
the opinions of lawyers differing very
widely, as is usual in such cases. The jury
last night rendered a verdict in favor of the
plaintiff. and virtually against the county,
for $1,000, and to this will be added the
costs.

bers of the committee were present. The

to see our young friend, the Hon. Jud C.
Brusie, training under Frank Rhoads, Sac
ramento's political boss. Jud was cut out

adhesion to corrupt political methods, that

his securities being Charles Eldred and
Arthur Bulger. The bonds were approved
by Justice Devine. Those who have in
hand the matter of prosecuting the gang of
illegal voters arrested on Tuesday, will be
met with numerous obstacles and adverse
sympathy, for the parties who imported

Deserving Sacramento.

In referring to the Sacramento exhibit
building, the Stockton Independent SAYS
when Sacramento makes such an extra
ordinarily liberal offer as that contained in
the communication to Mayor Shippee.
which was published yesterday, the re-
manner of Northern California should make
liberal responses and see that the products
of each county are well represented and
kept refreshed. In this exercise of liber-
ality Sacramento is serving its own inter
ests, as well as the rest of the north, be-
cause every inch of progress made by any
part of the State really helps every other
part, and Sacramento deserves 10 reap a
good round benefit for thus seeing its inter
ests in those of all other northern counties,
and acting upon the obvious truth. Be-
cause it is to the interest of that city to
maintain the exhibit it can be relied upon
and it will also be to the interest of every
other city and county to make the exhibit
as good as possible"
