never been built it is to be presumed he is still loc king

that he camein “accordance with tle wishes of the mining population of this vicinity,’’ and a ‘‘memorial from

Iuvortant Deciston.— Our readers will remember an important question that was mooblers to the contrary notwithstanding, and .
all the ditch iorcpolies in the county
notwithsteud:ag. Asa mattter of selfpreservation, those interested in mining
may ser ously consider, other things being
equal, whether it is proper to allow one
set of men to own all the water rights that
can by any possibility be used to bring
water to the most important mining points
of the county. Whether, when all the
streams fron. Deer creck to the Yuba have
passed into the hands of one set of men,
the energics of the county may not be
crippled to inevease their gains. Surely
this State has seen enough of monopolies
from the flour starvation year, when
heaitless monopolists doled out the staff of
life at fauwine prices to the State, down
to the camphene monopoly of the present
year, when in an oveistocked market the
spcculatcrs kept up the price to three
times its prope: point. Tow much more
disastrous would be = water monopoly -—
The absoiute contiol inthe hands of a few
men of al] the water that could be brought
into this apd the upper region, would
make them millionaires and all others poor
deperdants. Yet this is the thing aimed
at in the abuse of the South Yuba Co.,
for if their rights are broken down, the
water goes into the hands of men who
have a're.dy seized upon every other
streauz that cau be made to furnish an
inch of -vater to these vast tracts of mines !
Centident in the heavy incomes now sup-.
plied by their monopoly, they invade
rizhts valid by their ofn acknowledgewent, and believe they can force from the
track ali who seck to compete with them
jn bringing inwatcr. Therefore the press
at a distunece is appealed to—slurs they
are eshemed to utter except in whispers
on street corrers at home, are promulgated, and those who know nothing of the
character of their purposes, are unwittingly
drawn into the support ofa monopoly that
yaust crush the lite-bloed and prosperity
cui of the community when its ultimatum
js reached Now, friend Alta, you have
allowed thesc monopolists the use of your
pape:. We ask, in behalf of the community, that you tell your readers a little
more on the same subject. As to ourselves. we challenge a denial of these
facts. We open our columns to any man
ted some year agoas to the liability of the
ocean steam companies to pay taxes in this
State, they claiming that the property was
owned in New York, where it was properly
taxable. A suit to test this matter was brought
by Sheriff Hayes in the United States District
Court, and the decision was in favor of the
right to tax in this State. An appeal taken
to the United States Supreme Court has just
been decided in affirmance of the Court below,
and the State gains $100,000 in damages, besides a recognition of its right to tax an ex~
tensive amount of property yearly.

Cuban Affairs.
On the night of the 6th of March the U. S.
mail steamer El Dorado was fired into off Cape
San Antonio. She was bound from Aspinwall
to Havana. ‘The steamer was brought to, and
boarded by the boat of a Spanish frigate, and
the officer who came on board called for and
examined the papers of the steamer, and then
allowed her to proceed. Subsequently, the
Daniel Webster, a steamer of the Nicaragua
line, was fired into and brought to by a Spanish war brig, the papers were exhibited under
protest, and the vessel then allowed to proceed.
These outrages have some excuse ia the feverish state of Cuba in anticipation of a threaten:
ed invasion by the Cuban Junta, and it is the
policy of the authorities to take any piratical
expedition at a disadvantage at sea, rather
than to allow it to get a foothold among an
iuflammable population. But we fear the course

gsg=The funeral of Poole, in New York,
who was killed by Baker and his gang of
confederates, was one of the greatest demonstrations ever made in that city. The
New York Zimes gives the following reasons for the vast procession that followed
his remains :
Poole was an American, and had taken ac.
tive part in the crusade against foreigners
which still enlists so much of public favor.
This crusade, powerful as it is in religious and
conservative circles, is still stronger and more
determined and earnest in the class to which
Poole beionged. He and Hyer were among
the fighting men of the American order, as
against the bullies of foreign birth ;—and this
fact had very much todo with his death. It
has been felt and believed everywifere that
Poole was murdered because he was active in
the organized North American interest,—because he was very difficult man for the foreign
rowdies to manage or to conquer. He has
regarded very generally as a martyr to the Native American cause;—and consequently the}
most conspicuous among the organizations that . Board and Lodging per day
attended his funeral were the Chapters of the . Singie Meals or Lodging..Order of United Americans, to which he be~!
longed, and the Protestant associations which
act in sympathy and harmony with them. And_
to this feeling more than any other, are we in-.
clined to attribute the immense pepular de-.
monstration of yesterday afternoon.
