The county could afford to _ to this bill are not against the railroad, _ the county in debt, the payment . of __gid with an issue of lands atthe rate. Nevada county would be required to issue $50,000 bonds when ten miles are conipleted, $50,000 when the line is when completed to Nevada, making in all $150,000. But as the county would issne the bonds it would be held -responsible for their redemption, besides the interest at 7 per cent. per annum, up to the time of payment. Butte county has now an immense debt upon her hands, and it is already stated that the road is to be taken up and all the advantages gained will be lost. Stull the debt remains a heavy burden upon give some substantial aid, and if it could be arranged with proper guards, we should not object, but the policy of issuing bonds to roads, with all the advantages, so far as the binding force of the engagements are concerned, in favor of the railroad has always proved a Fuinous policy. This fact may be ascertained by inquiry in regard to the sentiments of the people, and the con@itien of affairs in those counties where+ bonds have been voted. Our objectians for we should like to see it built, and we are ready to cheerfully indorse and advocate any scheme which will secure the road without. overburdening -the } people by taxation and incumbering which will be almost impossible. if the friends of the railroad can devise any scheme which is not’ open to these objections, we are ready to help them. “Having not yet seen the bill, we are not prepared fully to discuss its merits or to canvass the matter, in connection with the railroad, which it proposes to of at least $7,500 per mile, this being at the lowest éstimate, upon 20 miles of the line in Nevada county. The _whole question will come up at the _ the above extract, but. we certainly do —Knowing this, proper time. _ eee It is also known that J udge McFarland of the Fourteenth Judicial District, uniformly and upon ail occasions, refused to permiit the publication of legal notices in either of the Democratic papers published within his District. The National copies approvingly a leader from the Reporter, containing not think the Watioral would be willing to indorse the\ charge against Judge McFarland. Tlie editor of the National may not be fathiliar with the facts, bata glance at the back numbers of that paper will be sufficient refutation of the.charges. Advertisements trom Judge McFarland’s Court have been frequently published in its columns, and even by Republican lawyers. in contradicting the statement of the Reporter, we referred to the Wational and Union to substantiate our denial. If the National can mention a case where Judge MeFarland has‘interfered with the privilege of any mav in tbe interest of any paper, we will cheerfuuy during his term. MAN AND WIFE CENTENARIANS.— It is-stated. ina Rhode Island paper that there are now living in the town of Smithfield, in that State, a man.and his wife, Jonathan and Saloma Buxton, he being 102 years old and his wife 101. Both of them aie in the enjoyment of perfect health, and able to attend to the management of quite a large farm. ‘Their wedded life. covers.a period of 78 years. ‘They have 9 children living the oldest being 76 years old, and all of », them’ have) remarkably youthful appearance. The father of Jonathan was: here which are also“ ones and fn ee millions,” and well d toa apne eats watkigas cus to go on the Rhine." all over the world. ane ic, we would like to ask Jadge . propound a few more, and if we are not «who do not understand the charge as ‘above made, we will state that the “no‘against the paper in which the Sheriff ‘covered, the Sheriff appeared in Court + years-ago-has-deneaway with the old+ ,vlish. the fact.

After answering this question, we shall able to prove what we asserted, in the Reporter of yesterday morning, we shail certainly make the necasary correction. Sacramento Reporter. The.above is a fair specimen of the Big-liar of the Reporter. Bigler refuses to make a correction, but still believing as he has always done, that “a lie well stuck to is as good as the truth,” pro-. pounds # question that proves him to be either a knave ora fool. To those tice of foreclosure” is a Sheriff’s Sale, which Judge McFarland had no right to order in any paper. After a foreclosure is issued from the District Court, it is not the province or the right of the Judge to say what papershall publishit. The fact is, it is the Sheriff's business, and he is responsible for the faithful performance of the work.

As soon as it was disname ofthe paper stricken out, claiming it asa right to publish his advertisements in any paper he desired. The Judge granted the Sheriff's request, at the same time stating that the name of the paper was placed there surreptitiously, and that a District Judge had no right to dictate to the Sheriff where his advertising should be done. STEAM power in ships, as was shrewdly predicted by Lord Stanhope seventy naval supremacy of England; and other agencies are tending to level still more the pretentions of the maritime powers. An English correspondent tells us of a new artifice which will make the strongest iron cladsin the British Navy, orin any navy, as vulnerable as the three deckers of the Agamemnon days. It is a torpedo, something in the shape of a sword fish, which, being swiftly propelled. under water, with its charge of nitro-glycerine or dynamite, ean shatter any iron ship it touches. This invention comes from an Austrian, who in this way would supply the naval deficiency .of his country.
