As experience in the working of railToads accumulates many difficulties are considered slight, that were deemed insurmountable obstacles. Ten years ago a
grade of a hundred feet to the mile was
thought searcely practies!, and a thousand
feet radius of a curve the least ‘o be attempted. Now, however, it has been found
that improved engines can surmount grades
of more than three hundred feet to the
mile, while curves of less than three hundred feet radius are employed. The friction is more than on more level grades,
and consequently the expense of running
is increased; but not in that degree as

necessary in working cars over such tracks
has been found produetive of safety. No

have never failed but once to be transported over the Alleghany mountains daily.
As we before intimated, roads with these
steep grades can be constructed with far
less In this country this is an
important consideration. As the State
grows older and the facilities of communiexpense,
cation from one part to the other increased,
railroads can be built more cheaply than
at present. Then the permanent railroad
tracks of the State may be laid. In the
. mean time cheaper roads, and paying ones,
may be constructed, which will answer all
practical time purposes for the
wants of the people hereafter, or should
improvements be required, the wealth of
the country will have expanded to such an
extent as to justify the change, and the expense will not be sensibly felt by the public. As the settler in a new State makes

His disease .
ture in it—with the singe remark that the sinking are proverbial for catching at straws, I proceed to unravel the riddle which the egotism of
the Union persuades itself it has cunningly de.
vised. .
What are the points at issue? The editor of .
the Union opposes Col. Edwards for the Scnate .
because he yoted for the so called “thousand
dollar act” of 1855. I might here impeach the .
consistency of my antagonist by calling up the
fact, that during the very session in which the .
“thousand dollar bill” became a law, and while .
the “indignation” was still fresh, he was found
an earnest advocate of the election of Col. .
Edwards to the Senate of the United States, .
and only last year expressed a preference for .
Burton, another supporter of the “infamous
bill,” for Governor of the State!
.
Does it, in.
deed, require greater purity and a clearer!
record to fit a man to represent Sacramen.
to County in the Legislature, than to sit in.
the highest and most dignified parliamentary .
body in the world, or in the gubernatorial seat .
of the State, or does the Editor of the Union .
.
present another notable case of “straining at a .
gnat and swallowing a camel?” .
But I must not undertake the labor of a Jif-.
time of exposing the ridiculous positions in .
which the Sacramento Union may have been .
found. There were allegations in its first arti.
cle which I denied and prodtced the proof. The .
allegations were, briefly; That the “thousand
dollar bill” created a great indignation in all .
parts of the State; that the bill contemplated .
the payment of members of the Legislature, to .
the extent of a thousand dollars each, before .
services were :endered; that the credit of the}
State was impaired and injustice done to her}
creditors by the passage of the bill.
To the first allegation, I replied, that there .
was no indignation excited by the bill, and for
. proof stated that some of those who voted for .
. it were returned to the Legislature of 1856, none
. bad been defeated for their action on it, and ;
others had since been promoted to almost every .
grade of office. How does the Union editor .
meet this? By quoting extracts from several .
} of the interior papers condemnatory of the }
act. Do these prove his position? Far from it. .
A great indignation Ido not take to mean a .
. furry in a country printing office. The
quotes from the Democrat of this city.
the fault finding of the Democrat weigh
the fact that the people of Nevada County
. me an increased majurity on mz second trial .
before them in 1856,and in the face of the para.
ded fact that I was a supporter of the “thousand .
. dollar act.”"?, Does the condemnation of all the .
country papers cited by the Union prove cn in.
dignation worthy of the name when the truth is .
patent, that Farley, of Amador, was re-elected
and made Speaker of the House in 1856, and .
Beatty the year after; that Bates was made .
Treasurer of State, Burke District Jadge of .
the 3th Judicial District, Baker, county .
Judge of Tulare, to sAy nothing of Burton,
deville, Norman and many others, who have .
been re-elected by the people? All these + ote .
for that bill, and encountered no “indignation,”
among the people for their course.
The country papers which the Union quotes .
probably took their cue froin the Union itself in .
r.ference to the nature of the bill. Not being .
. thorourhly acquainted with the Union at that .
time, they gave some credence to its statements. .
The Unyon’e rebuttal of the evidence I produce .
is then but the echo of its own noisy queruleusness. Like the feolish youth in fable, the editor .
has caught his own reflection in the water and
. is dying in admiration of it.
Itis a remarkable fact that the Union's “ indignation” was not so great as to oppose Col.
Edwards for the United States Senate in 1855,
nor to break out very furicusly against him till
the year of grace, 1860. It appears to have .
been nursing its wrath, growing madder and
. madder about the thousand dollar act as time
wore on, while the Nevada Dewoerat, finding its
. own “indignation” ill founded or impotent, has
become so mollified by time that it puts, with \
. pleasure, at its head, for re-clection to the Legis. lature the name of H. B. Hosmer, who stood
shoulder toshoulder with Col. Edwards in sup.
. port of that terrible bill.
I met the second allegation of the Union, that .
the bill conterrplated the payment of services
; before they were performed,with a simple denial, .
and accused the Union of falsifying the record. .
The Union rejoins by producing the bill as proof
of the correctness of the allegation. But does .
it prove the point desired, and is ititle only evidence to be adduced?
I might here contend on tenable grounds that
the language cf the bill itself sustains the posi.
tion I assume, and that the phrase, “ so soon as .
their services are rendered,” is authority to the .
. point, and produee the repetition of the language
of the bill by Gov. Bigler in his veto message
as evidence of the original phraseology of it.— .
But I have no need of such a resort. JT said in i
my reply tothe Union that the bill never con.

performed, and that the Union misrepresented
the facts. I shall prove it.
The phraseology of the act amounts to little
when taken in connection with the notorious fact .
that there was not a dollar in the Treasury to
pay the members of the Legislature, for many
days before the bill became a law! The members contemplated paying themselves a thous}
and dollars each, or a hundred and thirteen .
thcusand in the aggregate, from a Treasury .
worse than empty! It is absurd. But I quote .
. from Gov. Bigler in further substantiation of
iy pesition; He says:
“The Treasurer reports there is no eash in
the General Fund, and also the Controller and
Treasurer concur in opinion that for the reason
that nearly, if not quite, all the revenne aceruing under the last assessment, has been already
received and disbursed, a sufficient amount of
cash to meet the requirements of the Act will
not have accumulated in that fund within seven
months.”
And, again, to show the construction put upon
tle Act. t the time I further quote from the same
veto message:
. “Before deciding upon my own action in the
j and Treasurer of State, with a view of ascerj taining the construction by them placed upon its .
. . . -isions. Ts f e ‘ ve the nomination of . Branuan, who has money enough to purchase an . Provision The Controller stated that he would
