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

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

The outrages perpetrated are of too

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

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.
Yours, — Gixawen.

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.

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.
