The Central-and Union "Peslle Railroads are infested-with a gang of 7 cut-throats, thieves and gamblers . who commit "violence and robbery} upon the passengers” ‘who patronize those thoroughfares. The managers of the Companies are generally blamed for the existence of this state of ‘affairs. * Because the men An charge of the trains do not put the ‘outlaws. off and.punish them for Their crimes, it is ‘thought they are in some manner connected with the 8. . We are of. the. opinion this. ua chatge ie aujast both to the compace pies and their employees. The places Where these miscreants ply ‘their trade is almost unsettled: There are tations, having a sparse population, far remote from each Other. “The “operators are the most Jawless, and __ will not hesitate to do any ‘itt of vio“Yence. A conductor of a train exercises the same caution for his own safety that a stage driver in our.own State does when he is halted by highwaymen, There are few instances where drivers have risked their lives to protect passengers from loss, and mo one has ever accused them of being in company with the outlaws,nor have the owners of the lines ever been aceused of inattention to the safety of travelers because such robberies have been committed. It has “been expected that the officers of the ecounty-and State would bring the companies. We-think thesame rgle should hold good in the case of the railroad company and its employees. “The worst and most reckless charac" ters of the'whole coast have congregated on the line of the railroad, and _ they find the local authorities pow‘etless'to prevent them. Instead of ' @harging the railroad company with with winking at their depredations, it would seem more reasonable to charge the-officials of the law. whose ‘business it is to keep the peacé, with complicity with the tascals.+ [n the. case of the robbery at Elko, last week, of Dr. Bek, an account of which will *bé"found in another column, Mr, _ John DeVoy,.an old San. Franciscan, ~‘says that the Sheriff told him when he complained of the robbery, that -he had better mind his own. busi_nessep Ifa peace officer who evidently knew the parties, encourages rob‘beries perpetrated in his presence, can it be expected that a ‘con‘ductor will interfere. It is plainly the duty ofboth the State of Nevada and California o organize a police farce; whose duty. it shall be to exterminate or drive out.of the country these cut-throats, and —_ upon the few men who have contrgl of, a "railroad train, The officers 6: the law who live on the line of the road. onght also to be classed with -the ' thieves and be driven out with them, The outrages perpetrated are of too ‘frequent occurrence to go longer unnoticed. ~ff-outlaws-are-to have free sailing and openly commit robberies in presence of crowds of people, Bheriff’s included, it is time some measures were taken, or the old steamer route to the East will become the one most liberally patreniped in the future. Fase Tonove,--U; der the above ‘caption the Visalia Delta says: ‘‘No doubt everybody thinks he knows what we mean by thisheading. But what we do mean is a disease by ‘that name, several cases of which . have ocenrred én Tule. river, ‘The patient is taken with itching on the under side, at the root of the tongue from which, we are informed, commences the growth of a fungus resembling a tongue, whieh soon fills the mouth and protudes from it, causing suffocation and death in a ‘few days, unless relief is obtained. ‘ Dr. Henrahan has had several bad cases, The fungus being burned away by caustic, in one instance, the tohgue is said to have grown two inches in an hour. As this disease new to alinost every one, we hope some of our physicians will give us # description of it for 8 “Tue famous American §nobt Matia, ‘which had been ni “for some chime, dras been s by the French authorities at Algiers, with & caigo of Arne on board for the Garlists. ‘Tax Prince of Wales acoepts the faate-for United Andy Johnson, it is said, has forTennessee; It is met . his in. . teption to again otathence to swing droundthh circle, After holding all . the offices'within the gift of the people, from Alderman to President of the United States—as he used to boast he had, would seem enough to satisfy, the ambition of one man; but .

Vallejo has taken measures to nip the hoodlum evil in the bad. There is a regulation existing there” which probibits boys under fifteen years of ege from appearing upon the stree.s after 8 p.m. That many of the bad habits of boys are acquired upon the streets at night, there is no doubt. ‘Why parents allow them to roam around at will is a mystery; bat they do it, and: if they will not themselves put a stop to it, the authorities of every town ought to follow the example of Vallejo and enforce the regulation. Correspondence. Sacramento Sept., 27th. 1874. Ep. Transcrret: The great Fair is drawing to a close. People are leaving by thousands on every train, steamboat and other line of travel. After a week’s sight seeing and tiresome’gazing at the rare productions of our Golden State they return to their accustomed haunts. Some tu the busy mart of San Fraivisco; some to their fertile farms; poorly paid clerks to their books and counters; miners to their mountain hhomes where golden sands await their coming; horse jockeys, pickpockets, and gamblers to other fields and pastures. new. Life in all its phases, from squalid misery to all the splendor wealth can give, has been séen here during the past week. The honest miner, the bloated mionopolist, the stock sharp, and the millionaire, have jostled against the poor pauper clothed in rags, and the degraded of both sexen hava oecupied their time in company with the noblest in viewifg the scenes of the capital city. To the student of haman nature, no better place could be found than has been nresented during the Fair. San Francisco sent up its delegation of not only the wealthy and respectable class, but its hoodlams and nymphs du pave. ‘The Pavilion: was crowded from 7 4. M., to 10 Pp. u., daily. The sight was beautiful, and full of life and instruction, The. vast stream of human beings which poured throngh the halls, was no less a subject of study than the beautifal handiwork the industrious which was displayed there in boundless profusion, Artists,\.mechanics, miners, ladies eyed and j joyous, old . vm with silvered locks, want and misety, all were represented.’ The Fait fii ly has been a grand success. The stock displayed was not as good asin for> mer years. The races have been the chief points of interest. Lovers of fast horses have. had a feaste That California has fine horses, those who attend ‘her annual fairs are yearly convinced, Excitement was at fever heat all day Friday, when tbe great race between Occident and Purdy was to come off. Pool buyers were in their glory. Those on the ‘inside’’ had a “‘soft thing.” (The verdants were to be closely shaved that -day, but the old adage that “there's many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip,”.was verified. The sharps were worsted. Every admirer of Purdy, packed off a . , pocket full of coin. The disappointment of those who bet on the Sacramento horse, wis of a substantial form. Not-. withstanding their greatloss, their . cunfidetice in their favorite was uot diminished, and still they think him the fastest horse in the world. Suacramento has had its gala dey. Its landlords and business men have reaped a harvest. It will” now rup comfortably until another session.

At Elko, ox Tuesday. morning last, when the} train stopped for breakfast, the outrage was. perpetrated..Dr. Bok, who could not speak a word of Eaglish, and his invalid wife were. passengers. The doctor, with a satchel strapped to his side, got out to procure a cup of coffee for his wife. In the satchel he had seyetal hundred doliarsin notes, anfi bis wife's jewelry.* he “blacklegs knew this. tered the refreshment-toom. In one corner 6f the apartment a fato game was in fall operation. They invited the foreigner over to wituess the game, and when hie opened his satehel to take oat a note to for his coffee, one of the blacklegs thrust his hand into the satchel, pulled out the roll of notes, and threw it upon the faro board. Before the Docter' eduld recover from his astonish ment the banker of the game snatched the money up. Next the thieves seized the jewelry and ‘hustled the victim out of the room, threatening to shoot -him if he made any disturbaace. Mr. De Voy saw the outrage and appealed—to—a man standing near who was réj to be the sheriff. The latter asked Mr. De Voy if he or any of his friends had been robbed. De Voy said no, but that the victim.was a éttahger to him. The officer thereupon’ told De Voy that he had better mind his own business. The locomotive bell rang at this time, and all burried. on board the train, One of. the gamblers had the audacity to ‘seat himself alongside of De Voy and asked him if he was not afraid of getting shot for in-. terfering. with gentlemen. . Some words passed between them. De Voy spoke of the meanness of the guinblers in taking. the jewelry, whereup nthe than said he would give Dr. Bok an order for the jewelty, so that he could recover it, but they would keep the money. Mr. De Voy further avers that the condoctor of the train threatened to put the biacklegs off if he cought. them mnvlesting or abusing any of the passengers. Theemployees of the company, he says, had no more to do with the transaction’ than the man in the moon, The passenger was . robbed in the depot through his own folly and childishnegs, and without a word of protest or resistance. Such outrages are being constantly perpetrated at the various stopping places on the road. Sewing Scciety.

RuryiaNism ow Tax Cate.—Corrplaints of outrages perpetrated by ruffians upun traveiers on .the overland route have greatly multiplied of late, and the subject is beginning te assume alarming ‘proportions. It appears from statements made upon unimpeachable authority that the gamblers and roughs are permitted to have pretty,mach. their own way, the conductors and passengets being sensible of the peril of intertering with them. We do not know that we can blame the conductors for, their prudence in« this matter, for . there can be no doubt: that any one of them who’ should dare to make himself especially obnoxious to the ruffiuns would-be'pieked off by a shot from the'roadside at some convenient point. Bat the time has comd when the sompany must take this subject into’ serious’ consideration. Action in regard to it can not be longer deferred.
