Francisco. The immediate incent» Live to the” conférence, it je alleged, was the. acquisition by the Vanderbilt family of the Northwestern Railtoed, of which Horace F.Clark will) be made President. Vanderbilt and his sous-in-law-have now undisputed. possession. ‘of an unbroken line. of railroads -from-New York to Ogden, which they will ungqtestionably make. efforts’ to extend to California, either by purchase or the construetion-of a new-lne.* There -is outside of ‘the Vanderbilt family a vast amount of railroad property owned in the States east of thé) Mississippi ‘River,. and the owners of this property will not long consent to be deprived of valuable connections through the instrumentality of two orthree men. Vanderbilt may monopolize one line, but the owners of “other lines will have sufficient income to be uble to cony struct other roads, While thése movements: are going forward in the ‘. East what are we doing on this coast? A few individaals own a railroad extending from Virginia City “to Carson, and thence onward to’ .the Central Pacific. It is said that the profits on this short line of road average neurly two millions of dollars anuvally. The profitableness of this piece of property-has evidently stimgated an effort t6 purchase the interest of Messrs. Huntington and in the Central Pacific. We have heretofore urged the profitableness of railroad builing in Californian, when propérly conducted. This, however, can only be done by. consulting the interest of the people, Half-a dozew lines of railroad might be constructed in California, any one’ of-whieh could ‘be worked throvgh by a single enterprising man, almost as eaxily as the-road from Oakland to wood, which would pay hand. somely.

The Mayor, for instance, receives $12,000 per year, and the Comptroller $10,000 per year. The Commissioner of Public Works also gets $10,000; the President of the Police Board gets $8,000; and the other Comunissioners $6,000. and the . Superintendent of Police $10,000 per anuum. The Corporation. Counsel. gets B15, 000, and the City Chamberlain $30,000 per year, and helds the office for four years. *The President of the Park Board gets $6,500; every Alderman gets $4,000, except the'Presidetit, who gets $6,000; the Assistant Aldermen also get $4,000. Ove hundred and three vessels have loaded with grain this year at the Oakland wharf.

The thief seems to have. meandered through several streets before taking a straight shoot, evidently misléad pursuit, which he suceessfully accomplished.

Francisco. The immediate incent» Live to the” conférence, it je alleged, was the. acquisition by the Vanderbilt family of the Northwestern Railtoed, of which Horace F.Clark will) be made President. Vanderbilt and his sous-in-law-have now undisputed. possession. ‘of an unbroken line. of railroads -from-New York to Ogden, which they will ungqtestionably make. efforts’ to extend to California, either by purchase or the construetion-of a new-lne.* There -is outside of ‘the Vanderbilt family a vast amount of railroad property owned in the States east of thé) Mississippi ‘River,. and the owners of this property will not long consent to be deprived of valuable connections through the instrumentality of two orthree men. Vanderbilt may monopolize one line, but the owners of “other lines will have sufficient income to be uble to cony struct other roads, While thése movements: are going forward in the ‘. East what are we doing on this coast? A few individaals own a railroad extending from Virginia City “to Carson, and thence onward to’ .the Central Pacific. It is said that the profits on this short line of road average neurly two millions of dollars anuvally. The profitableness of this piece of property-has evidently stimgated an effort t6 purchase the interest of Messrs. Huntington and in the Central Pacific. We have heretofore urged the profitableness of railroad builing in Californian, when propérly conducted. This, however, can only be done by. consulting the interest of the people, Half-a dozew lines of railroad might be constructed in California, any one’ of-whieh could ‘be worked throvgh by a single enterprising man, almost as eaxily as the-road from Oakland to wood, which would pay hand. somely. Railroad building, howevér, hereafter in this State, must be in such a way as to benefit our citizens generally, as well as tbe men who superiutend the work, Iz the salaries they pay their city. officers in New York area fair criterion of the general expeaditures it is no wonder that the taxes are high. The Mayor, for instance, receives $12,000 per year, and the Comptroller $10,000 per year. The Commissioner of Public Works also gets $10,000; the President of the Police Board gets $8,000; and the other Comunissioners $6,000. and the . Superintendent of Police $10,000 per anuum. The Corporation. Counsel. gets B15, 000, and the City Chamberlain $30,000 per year, and helds the office for four years. *The President of the Park Board gets $6,500; every Alderman gets $4,000, except the'Presidetit, who gets $6,000; the Assistant Aldermen also get $4,000. Ove hundred and three vessels have loaded with grain this year at the Oakland wharf.

The thief seems to have. meandered through several streets before taking a straight shoot, evidently misléad pursuit, which he suceessfully accomplished. Sheriff Dunham telegraphed in all directions next morning, but no tidings of the horse or thief had been receiv ed.
