THE county seat war in Hitchcock
county ended very suddenly. Adj
Gen. Vifquain, in response to a tele-
gram received by him at Exeter, in two
hours time had four companies Of mill
tia ready to move and trains steamed
up to carry them to the seat of war.
He then boarded the flyer, and arriving
ut Culbertson ut 2 o'clock in the morn
ing went directly to Sheriff Dennis
house, routed him out Of bed and to-
gether they went to the court house,
where but six men were on guard. The
general informed the officer that he
must exhaust all his before
the power Of the state could be called,
which II was plain he had not done, and
ordered him to go forthwith to Trenton,
return with the stolen records and stop
fooling, all of which was obeyed with
alacrity. Shortly after daylight a wag.
on load of records was returned and the
war was over.
Gov. BoyD has addressed a commune
cation to the chairman OF the board
of public lands and buildings, in
which he urges the board tn give a
thorough investigation to the charges
of corruption in the insane asylum
management. The governor calls at
tention to the public charges and as
serts that facts have come to his knowl-
edge which make the invest cation im.
l.ecarive.
SEVERAL farmers in the vicinity OF
Belleville conceived she idea of securing
about 5000 acres of land by ditching
and changing the course of the Missouri
river. but an injunction put u stop &c

THE QUESTION OF UrAH.

The scheme for the partition Of Utah
between Nevada and Colorado has been
revived by the bill for the admission of the
Territory as a State. 1t is pretty evident
from the expressions which have fallen
from leading men that there is very little
prospect Of the admission Of Utah at pres
ent, though it has a larger population than
Nevada, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho or
Wyoming. People are not prepared to 20
into partnership with polygamists, and tie
course Of events has satisfied observers that
the M0rmons are insineere in their protesta-
tons that they are prepared to abandon
their peculiar institution. From the hour
that Utah becomes State it will be difficult
for the Federal authority TO interfere with
them. For these reasons, it is improbable
that an enabling act for Utah will be passed
at present.
II is now proposed to split Utah in two,
along the line Of the Wasatch Range, so as
TO throw the western half of the Territory,
including Salt Lake City, into Nevada, and
the eastern half Of the Territory, including
the magnificent mesa along the Upper Col
orado and the Green River, into Colorado.
The effect Of this would be to increase the
population of Nevada to about 225,O00 and
to swell the area Of Colorado to about 49,
600 square miles, nearly the area of Callfor-
MIA. Both States would be induced TO
aeduiesce by the advantages each would
reap from the partition. No portion of Col
orado is more fertile than the valleys of the
Green and the Upper Colorado. With
proper agriculture they might sustain q

VIII BEAR wATCHING.

Californians know very well that nine
teen-twentieths, yes ninety-nins one-hun-
dredths Of all the members of the Republi-
can party in the State are in favor Of the
denomination Of General Harrison for the
Presidency. Indeed there are none who
would oppose his denomination unless il be
some persons who hope to obtain an Office
or some other advantage If another can
didate should be nominated and elected.
Possibly Mr.. Stanford would desire TO have
some other candidate nominated He
would like the nomination himself, and it
is possible he thinks If General Harrison
could be got ria Of he would have a chance.
But this is so remote possibility that it is
not worth taking into account. There is,
however, another person. whiffet, among
the delegates who will 90 to the Minneapolis
convention. de does not like President
Harrison because, he says, General Har-
rison las not done enough for California"
What do our readers think this means
This whiffet solicited an appointment in
General Harrison's Cabinet, and our friends
Of the Examiner said he ought to have it.
THE CALL rather likes the idea Of man
rising from the lowest ranks to the highest
dignities of state. We do not object TO
any person aspiring to an Office. but men
should not be permitted to trade on such a
matter and betray their party. THE CALL,
however, is willing to let the nomination of
the Presidency take care of itself, but /.
might be well for the delegates who desire
to benefit the Republican party, those who
have an honest purpose. to set their faces
against the triekery which placed California
in so unpleasant a light four years ago al
Chicago to be on their guard.

population of millions. And Nevada, With
an addition of 10000 people, would be able
to carry on a State Government
The assent of Utah to the partition is not
essential The constitution provides that no
new State can be carved out of other States
without the assent of the latter. But 1t says
nothing about Territories. a Territory is.
in fact, satrapy of the General Govern
ment, and enjoys limited local self-goyern-
ment purely through Congressional bounty.
Congress may divide Utah into as many
pieces as it pleases without asking leave.
The objection to the plan is that it might
work in such way that il would be Nevada
that would be gobbled by Utah. not Utah
by Nevada. At the last census Nevada had
45, 7e1 population and Utah 207 ,905. of whom
abort 600 live west Of the proposed line
of division. If the partition were made 1t is
more likely that the 10000 new citizens
would rule Nevada than the 45, 761 old eiti-
zens. Thus, instead of operating to extin-
guish MormOnism. the partition might
spread it over new area, and an area
which, possessing State sovereignty, might
defy the Federal Congress to interfere with
its local laws Of marriage.
Perhaps this is a good time to go a little
slow IN the creation of new States or the
gerrymandering Of old ones.

SERVING TWO MASTERS.

The Pacific Mail Company Is in the pre-
dicament Of 4 person trying to serve two
masters, taking wages from both as long as
there is no direct conflict Of duties. II con-
tracts to serve the Government. and would
doubtless have tried 10 perform the required
duty had not the Southern Pacific Company
offered a larger sum not to do what it had
promised 20 do. The Government gives the
Pacific Mail a subsidy of about $500 a trip
to call at San Diego and other way ports 10
facilitate travel and commerce. The South
ern Pacific gives the Pacific Mail from $1,000
to $500 a month not TO do what the Gov
eminent was paying it for doing. The
time has come when the difficulty of serving
two masters is apparently nsurmOuntable.
The House cannot ignore the statements
made by Mr.. Bowers before the Committee
on POstofices and P0strOads. The conflict
between the service the Pacific Mail owes
TO tie Government and that required by the
Southern Pacific is too positive 10 be disTe-
garded. The Pacific Mali cannot possibly
serve both the Government and The South
ern Pacific Company. II is minated that
if the Pacific Mail has to choose between
its two masters it will give its service to the
one that pays best IL other words, it will
let its contract with the Government drop
and cling to that with the Southern Pacific
Company. This would seem 10 be good
policy from q d0llar-and-cent point Of view
If there were no such thing as damages for
failure 10 fulfill a contract. The damage in
this case may be much greater than the
amount Of subsidy the Government agreed
TO pay. San Diego merchants have made
arrangements to do business on the faelli-
ties offered by the contract with the Gov
erument on the part Of the Pacific Mail
TO stop at San Diego on IFS way down and
up the coast. These merchants have been
subjected to considerable loss By the failure
Of the Pacific Mail to do what 1t had agreed
to do. In this way and in others a hand
some bill Of damages may be made out
against the Pacific Mail.
The speech Of Mr.. Bowers, in which he
used the tables recently presented in The
CALL showing how the Southern Pacific, in
conjunction with the Pacific Mail, has dis
eliminated against the commerce Of San
Francisco. viii open the eyes of Congress-
men who have favored the proposition Of
the Southern Pacific that their debt to the
Government be allowed to run fifty years
longer at low rate Of interest. The ques-
ton VIII naturally arise for consideration as
to what service this company is rendering
the public TO be entitled to such bounty. If
the company were pursuing their business
q common carriers with proper cOnsidera-
ton Tor the interests of the people, there
would be some force 10 the argument that
public interest would be served by extending
the time in which to pay their debt. But
Mr. Bowers will inform Congress that the
Southern Pacific is using its vast p0Wer for
the personal enrichment Of its owners. The
good Of the public never seems to occur TO
them as a matter worthy OF considerations

toned off term after term to the highest
bidder, but they see no very earnest signs OF
disapproyal of such a course. They have
seen judicial decisions promulgated by the
highest court in the State which in the opln-
ion Of the best lawyers in the State could
only have been given at the dictation Of
powerful corporation. and they still see
that same court continue to dispense the
article they call justice. These and kindred
object lessons have disturbed the natural be-
lief in the power of the moral law. When
great wealth and high social and poll'ieal
opinion are the reward of business ana poAt-
zeal knavery it is not strange that men pow
before the power that produces such results
1t should be borne in mind that neither
Estee nor Barnes worked for the honor OF
being delegates to the national convention
as the successful candidates did. EStee was
not at Stockton at ali and Barnes held that
If the convention did not want him he would
try and do without the convention. Being
beaten hurt neither. but it would have been

PARTY OBLIGATIONS.

There is some objection it seems TO having
our citizens take their grievances into the
Legislature. The Railroad Commissioners
object to having the people even talk about
voting them out of Office or impeaehing
them. What do we send men 20 the Legs-
lature for? And for what purpose 90 we
elect officers, any of our officers, but TO
serve Us? THE CALL is in favor of the
principles of the Republican party. par
tculary the idea of protection to the varied
interests OF the country. In California we
have the wiae and raisin interests to take
care of. We have also numerous articles of
fruit, oranges, prunes, etc. For good and
valid reasons we favor protection, and all
other things being equal, we vote for Re-
publican candidates for Office; but we Go
not consider il Republicanism TO vote for
men who make a business Of accepting
brides. Neither would we vote for men
who were sold to a railroad company
whose only object was to control the State
in order to make large fortunes for them
selves a few years ago this State and city
were completely under the control Of Boss
Buckley. THE CALL objected to support
ing Boss Buckley's candidates; ia other
words, we advised our citizens to vote
against them. We did not oppose his can
didates upon the ground that they were
Democrats, for they were not all Demo-
Gratis. They were, many Of them, simply
plunderers. No doubt there were some
| honest men, but we were convinced others
were not. No honest man should support
such a condition of affairs as we have had
in this State for several years past To
! talk against using our privileges 20 support
or oppose candidates for Office, on the
ground that it will not do to turn to poll
tics, is simply farcicsl The persons who
urge that voters should support knaves for
office if they are nominated are short
sighted. or for some reason they expect TO
be benefited by the elevation of knaves to

COVERING UP CRIME.

An article was published in THE CALL
on Wednesday, where il was stated that the
statute of limitation had run in a ceTtain
criminal case, so that the offending party
could not be punished. 1t is curious how
our laws have been perverted By sending
unfit persons TO the Legislature Our clil-
zens have been heretofore Informed that
bribing members of the Legislature, jury men
witnesses, etc, under the laws of California,
if the offenSe was committed more than three
years before prosecutions were commenced,
was not illegal and conviction could not be
had, as the statute of limitation had run. 1t
would appear as if the statute limiting the
period to three years when suits could be
commenced against a certain description of
crime was enacted purposely to shield
criminals.
The public would like to know who were
the insiigators of the passage of law to
shield criminals of the worst description,
for surely the man who commits bribery Is
nearly as bad as a man can be.
