Hevada Daily Transcript. Nevada County Official Press, TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 28th. eo memeState AID TO THE RalLRoaD.—The Bill granting ten thousand dollars per mile from the State treasury, to the Central Pas cific Railroad, has finally passed #tid goue to the Governor. . It appropriates five hundred thousand dollars-to be applied to the first fit ty miles of road commencing at Sacramento ; two huridred thousand to be paid on the completion of the first twénty miles, and the remainder when the next thirty miles are fine ished. Iu consideration of this sum the company constructing the road is to transport free of charge for thé State over the road all public messengers, State convicts, materials tor the construction of Capitol buildings, articles fur the State Fuir, and muterials of war’ when necessity requires, There are some ideas suggested by the passage of this . bill, which may not be inappropriate to ex» press. It will be remembered that the Legis« lature has passed an act for the relocation of the. Central Pacific Railroad. We have not seen the act, but suppose it authorizes the . Central Pacific Railroad company to change their route:to suit themselves: © Now, the late bill gives a subsidy of ten thousand dol~———tare a inite to that part of the road extend ing from Sacraments in the direction of Lin« coln. “Ifthe company shuuld decide to change the. route of the road and riin in the direction of Oroville atter the. first twenty miles are completed, they will make a nice thing of-it; for with the national aid of $16,. 000, per mile and every alternate section of land in a strip ten miles wide, and $16,000 from the State Goverument, they ought to be able to fit the road to receive its rolling stock without taking a dollar from their own pockets: Ifthe company decide to make as muchus possible out of the level ground before ats tempting to scale the motintains, and run their road up the valley, the General and State Governments will be put in the posix tion of attempting to crush or compete with the private enterprize which has already invested its hundreds of thousands in building u road in the same direction, Not long-since and before the act granting State aid'to the construction of the Pacific Railrood passed, we suggested the propriety of making the whole sum granted by the act applicable to that part of the road ascending the Sierra Nevada, as a matter of precaution; and because the Company ought. to be able ~ to construct of themselves and with the aid of the National Government that-amall part. ofthe: route. We have seen. nothing. to justify us in the belief that our suggestion was not sen. -sible and proper. As the Act now reads the whole amount of half a million ‘dollars may ‘be'gobbled up, though we do not: think it will be, to construct fifly miles of road in the valley to compete with or crush individual enterprize. If the money had been paid by the terms of the Act to help construct the * read over the hardest part of the route exclusively, the people who pay attention to such matters would have been better aatisa fied. It ina loose way of doing business, this throwing money to any company without sufficient guards. ER, ie . omitintiames ADJOURNED.—Yesterday was the day agreed upon for the adjournment of the Legislature. We suppose the dispersion teok place about the hour of noon, to the great satisfaction of everybody, The Legs islature of 1863 has been a good and. true one all things considered. Its faults have been those insepatable from the system of rotation in office, So long as we return but few old members to the Legislature, but select the majority of both houses from, new mon, just so feng will legislation drag on slowly and inefficiently at the State Capi. tal. The practice uf electing so many new men each yeat renders the Legislature a school where men learn the ulphabet of legis» lation and then ate turned out to give place -to other abecedarians. Long seasions and crude laws result, because by the time a man has learned the-repes and begins to be useful he is dismissed from service. We shall ‘never see short sessions, or model laws, until those who make them are qualified-eith= er by education cr experience for the work to which they are called. The ‘session of 1863 has been a long one—112 days. No one doubts that the work could have been done in fifty days had all the legislators been qualified ‘for their duty. Still, when everything is taken into consideration the fourteenth Legislature of the State will “right ourselves by doing—eghit. ‘ple worthy of freedom ? “Supreme Judges of the nation. sleep perhaps, and been smothered by fou) atmosphere, atter the tunnel had been closed antimprovement in elongated bullets, made disturbance io thatcity. © U.S: ann’ Foreton Powers.—When the Crimean war was raging thes sympathies of Ameritans were mostly for Russia and against the Western “Powers. It was a strange spectacté, democracy, or tather ochlocracy, giving foral support to despotism, anextreme sympathizing with its opposite~ The Western Powers were alienated by the position we then took. The republican sentiment prevailing in England and Franev to a large extent, and liberalism characterizing the politics of the peeple, they could not re~ concile the sympathies-of Americans—for aus tocratic Russia on any known principle We gained the good will of “Russia, but did much to repel the good will of theinglish and French. If we mistake not, our nation is experiencing the ill effects of that unwise affiliation with the aggressive spirit of Russia.” If we have lost in this way the syinpathies of the Western Powers, what have we gained? The kind regards of Russia; but see the embarrassing position in which which we are placed towards unhappy and struggling Poland. If we declare curselves friends of the Poles, we do not gain thereby the full sympathies of the Western nations of Europe, we alienate Russia, and have no friendly nation on the continent-to.act asa check upon the designs of other governments on our own. It will be seen that a mistake in the past in not be» stowing our sympathies where they properly belonged, with the people of liberalized views of government, has led us inte an awkward dilemma. ‘The true policy is, Lowever, to We need not follow a bad precedent. If Poland should have our nioral support by virtue of the righte of her people, in-Heaven'’s name let her have it, thignyh every sovereign of Europe threatens us with displeasure. The moral grandeur of standing by and defending Liberty and Progress stubbed by Power, is inspiriag. Away with a selfish policy? <Ie there hope of liberating a down-troddeti peoLet material wid make hope realization. ; Eee ReESIGNED.—Judge Field has sent in his resignation as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the State. In looking over the eminent lawyers of the State we cannot see the the man who can exactly fill the vacant place. Judge Field has redeemed the highest court of the State. It rose to respectability since he toek his seat. It is on a splendid footing new, It isto be hoped that new judges will be found willing to follow in the footsteps of Judge Field. for then the Supreme Court will be held in that repute which the highest. tribunal should waintain. Judge Field, as is well known, goes to a higher court—to take his seat as one of the It ia his ambition to contribute to the regeneration of that Court in some degree from its disgraveful-errors in behalf of human slavery. May the name of Field be coupled with :minortal justice in blotting out the Dred Scott decision as that of ‘Taney is joined with infax my in making the damnable decision, TP ns HORRIBLE AFF AIt.—The Virginia City Enterprise says a gentleman from Gould Hill relates the fullowing statement in regard to a horrible affair said to have taken place in that vicinity. Ou Sunday morning, a rumor prevailed in town that « noted desperado had taken refuge in a tunnel about a mile from the latter place. A party of citizens repairs ed to the spot, but each felt a delicacy in entering the cave in the dark where an armed man had seereted himself: The mouth of the tuanel was consequently stopped up, and next day aatrong posse went up, rolled away the stones from the sepulcbre, entered, and found five dead Indiaus—three men one squaw and one child—who had gone in there to up. Ps i el : THE apany of the United States used, during the year 1862, 16,000 tons of bullets. “By by E. D. Whlliame, recently adopted and gradually being brought into the service, such a reduction is effected in the weight that it is calculated a saving of $6,000,000 a year will be made in the expense of metal and of transportation. It will save to the army of the Potomac alone 200 ammunition wagons. . = A A PRENTICE says we will bring South Carolina back in the Union. but not till we have operated on her at.both-ends—pulled out her fangs and cut off her rattles. -TUR Mayor of Detroit has offered a ree ward of $100 a head for the conviction of the rioters who were engaged in the late negro Ir is said that ah agent of the Government ment has been sent te Prussia to obtain the secret of manufacturing a new kind of gunpowder, lately discovered by a German chemist, and reported to be in several respects superior to the powder now in use.
