Daniel Webster's Poor Opinion of the
West Fifty Years Ago.

Daniel Webster's Poor Opinion of the
West Fifty Years Ago.
EDS. RECORD U MON: take the liberty o.
sending you bit of history not generally
known, believe. and which may interest
If not amuse, some of your numerous
readers, especially old settlers Of the Pa,
cific coast. Nearly fifty years ago, says the
Bangor Nelcs, modest bill was before the
United States Senate to establish a mail
route from Western Missouri to the mouth
of the Columbia river
Senator Daniel Webster was strongly on.
posed to the measure on the ground that il
was useless expense. Accordingly he
stirred up the fire of his eloquence, and
spoke as follows:
What do we want with the vast. worthless
area? This region of savages and wild beasts
OF deserts, OF shifting sands and whirlwinds OF
dust, OF cactus and prairie dogs? To what use
could we ever hope to put these great deserts OF
those endless mountain ranges impenetrable
and covered to their base with eternal snow
What can we ever hope to do with the western
coast-a coast OF 5000 miles, rock-bound, cheer
less and uninviting, and not a harbor on it
What use have we for such country? Mr.
President will never vote one cent from the
public treasury to place the Pacific coast one
inch nearer 70 Boston than it now is.
From this vehement address it is obvi.
Gus that the illustrious statesman was nc
prophet, neither had he the least concep.
ton OF the ultimate destiny of the great
West. Furthermore" the article saws
IF his ghost wanders through the cities
and farms of the mighty North west hs
| must remember this speech and fee
ashamed of himself"
But suitable allowance should be made
| for the great Daniel, for in his day tn,
| western march of progress had scarcel,
| began, and what was there to suggest tina
great systems of railroads and telegraph
| would eventually span the continent, an
Initiating distance, settle up and develot
comparatively unknown country. which
he considered worthless area of say
ages and wild beasts. n. S. T.

A NoDoc WATER CASE.
The Supreme Court Reverses the Jud
ment of n Iower Conrf

The Supreme Court Reverses the Judg-
ment of q Lower Court
The Supreme Court yesterday filed in
the office of Clerk Williams, of the Sacra-
mento District, an opinion in the case of
Churchill and others (appellantsl VS.. Lauer
and others. This was suit by ten plaint.
! IFS against eighteen defendants to enloin
the latter from diverting the water of
stream called Pine creek, in Modoc county.
The complaint contains two counts. The
first count alleges in substance that each
plaintiff is the owner in seyeralty of de.
scribed lot of land, which is all irrigated
by the same stream of water, and from a
common source, and cannot be irrigated
by any other source. 1t is also alleged that
the stream has natural and we'll defined
banks, and a natural and we'll defined
channel from its source, to and upon the
lands of the plaintiffs and across said lands
respectively, and that the said creek, when
unobstructed, naturally flows to and upon
the lands of plaintiffs.
The second count repeats the allegations
of the first, and in addition alleges, in sub.
stance, that the plaintiffs have constructed
certain dams and bitches whereby the
waters of said stream are used for the irri-
cation of such portions of their said lands
as are not properly or sufficiently irrigated
by said natural flow. seepage and percols-
ton of the waters of said creek: and that
the plaintiffs have a right to the unob-
structed flow of the waters of said Pine
creek in the natural channel thereof to
and upon said lands, and to and through
said bitches.
The defendan demurred to the COM
plant upon the ground, among others,
that there was misjoinder of parties
plaintiff and misjoinder of causes of
action. The trial Court sustained the de-
murrer, and rendered final Judgment in
favor OF the defendants, and the plaintiffs
appealed.
After reviewing the case thoroughly the
Commissioners (who render the decision)
say:
I'm the present case, as above stated,
there is no showing of damages sustained
m any particular sum, and no prayer for
damages, and we consider the proceeding
to be IN equity to restrain the diversion of
the water. In this view it does not seem
to us material how the plaintiffs acquired
their rights. e., whether they have
rights as riparian owners or as appropriate
ors. 1t is sufficient, under the decisions
cited, that they each have some right to
the waters of the stream, which will suffer
an injury from the diversion complained
of. We, therefore, advise that the iudg.
ment be reversed, and the cause remanded.
with directions to override the demurrer to
the complaint, with leave to the defend
ants to answer.

MERGED has welcomed its Holland col
ony. The newcomers comprise twenty
four families, and aggregate los persons.
They represent over 100000 of capital ;
their lands were all paid for before their
arrival and most of their houses were
built and ready for occupancy. We are
told that the newcomers are of an intelli-
gent, vigorous, temperate and provident
class. that they all have fair education, are
all young and able-bodied, and that
there is not man or woman in the party
who has not some considerable money.
They have come to stay, to become Amer
lean citizens and to build up homes and
communities and lose themselves in our
citizenship. They were welcomed with
considerable ceremonial, and by a general
turnout OF the people, with bands, banners
and notices. A representative of the
State Board of Trade delivered an address
and in benalf of the colonists one of them
made a speech in reply. This new ar
rival, perhaps the most compact and best
Quilted of any foreign body of colonists
in California, will stimulate other activity
of like nature. Against immigration OF
that order there will not be objections
raised on any hand. The Hollanders are
not likely to become disturbers of social
order; they do not tend to radicalism in
their ideas of free government, or their
conceptions of restraints of law. They
are frugal people, freely mingle with
Americans, and are easily absorbed and
readily lose their identity as Dutch in
two generations, or three at the outside, in
such a country as this.

IT is to the credit of the Harvard stu.
dents that they have held meeting and
denounced such of their ellow-students as
engaged in the recent outrages in Cam
bridge. According to the dispatches the
students at the meeting are more indig-
nant at the action of the mad-caps of the
University than are the officials and the peo-
pie of Cambridge. Something of the order
ofrepudiation referred to was absolutely nee.
essary to save the institution from universal
execration. The Board of Overseers now
owe it to the cause of justice to ferret out
the offenders and make an example OF
them that will not be forgotten, and that
will have tendency to put stop to all
these wild pranks of the students.
