The day is done, and the darkness falls from the wings of night. As a feather is wafted downward from an eagle in its flight. Take the lights of the village. Gleam through the rain and the mist, And a feeling of sadness comes o'er me, That my soul cannot resist: A feeling of sadness and longing, That is not skim to pain, And resembles sorrow only As the mist resembles the rain. Come, read to me some poem. Some simple and heartfelt lay, That shall soothe this restless feeling, And banish the thoughts of day. Not from the grand old master, Not from the bards sublime, Whose distant footsteps echo Through the corridors of Time. For, like strains of martial music, Their mighty thoughts suggest Life's endless toll and endeavour; And to-night I long for rest. Read from some humbler poet, Whose songs gushed from his heart, As showers from the clouds of summer; Or tears from the eyelids start; Who, through long days of labor, And nights devoid of ease, Still heard in his soul the music that it would not injure the city of Los Angeles, as he believed. There can be but one reason for its untimely construction, and that is to secure this great subsidy with the right of way, to Stanford & Co. And if the truth could be reached, this same company is at the bottom of that gushing patriotism so conspicuous in the movement of the "Committee of Thirty." And now, with regard to this noted and soon to be notorious Committee, a little honest surgery, such as a farmer may dispense with a mattock or corn knife, will reveal somewhat of the rottenness of the concern. It appears evident that a large majority of the Committee was opposed to its final action, and that, stimulated by the presence and cooperation of an agent of Stanford & Co., the work was accomplished by a small minority. It also seems that the subcommittee has given at that time, to them, they would have sold it. No intelligent man will venture to deny that the city of San Francisco has abundant reason for her desire to keep in check the power of that colossal Railway Despotism, which by its fortunate position, has acquired simple means for the purchase of men and measures necessary to its gigantic ambition. Since it is believed that the Bay of San Francisco must be the great entrepot for Asiatic commerce, and the center of exchange for the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, it appears to be the scheme of this Despotism to shape and control this exchange with especial reference to its own aggrandizement. For this purpose, it is plain that no competing railway must be allowed to approach the harbor of San Francisco. Keeping this general fact in view, we have a key to some things that appear strain," and have light upon "mars that are dark." In passing, it may be remarked that it is a painful consideration that while cities and towns are to a certain extent sufferers from Corporate Monopolies, yet the great burthen of taxation, with all its crushing results, falls upon the producer and consumer. The merchant sells his goods at a profit, whether the prices are high or low. It appears evident that a large majority of the Committee was opposed to its final action, and that stimulated by the presence and cooperation of an agent of Stanford & Co., the work was accomplished by a small minority. It also seems that the subcommittee of three could not act together or at least, that as appears from the record, they did not wait upon the railroad magnates in a body, but shabbily left the devoted Mr. Olden to battle single handed for the welfare of his constituents. The people, those who at sometime must by their own toil liquidate the great debt in prospect, are not, as yet, parties to the transaction. The movement, thus far, is supported by distinguished land owners who "want and must have a population." It is not likely that these land owners intend to pay the county bonds, proposed, but by means of the railroad excitement, they hope to dispose of their lands to settlers, who knowingly or not, must of course assume their share of the obligations. The indications are, that the wishes of the high contracting parties are to be secured at whatever cost. Bully and bluster are to be employed where argument fails. He who claims the right to express his convictions as an independent citizen, is a "silly fool," and is to be pernished without hesitation. It is a fortunate circumstance that the matter is, to be decided finally by the voters of the county, and that each one may cast an honest ballot for: 1. A railroad through this county, on a legitimate basis, and within the shortest period. 2. Each voter may favor the Independent railroad through this county, for the speedy construction of which nearly twelve hundred of the most influential men in San Francisco are at work. 3. Each voter will remember that Stanford & Co. have explicitly stated somewhat of the rottenness of the concern.

In passing, it may be remarked that it is a painful consideration that while cities and towns are to a certain extent sufferers from Corporate Monopolies, yet the great burthen of taxation, with all its crushing results, falls upon the producer and consumer. The merchant sells his goods at a profit, whether the prices are high or low, but the farmer has no recourse. The rates of freight on all that he sells or buys, are fixed by his masters, and he is expected bumbly to accept what is left. It is the sincere conviction of the writer that the people of this county are now being called upon to become partners in one of the most stupendous frauds in the history of railroads, and as in every fraud one of the parties is the chief sufferer, so in this, the county is required not only to share the infamy of shutting out all competing railroads, but actually to pay the cost of the transaction. In other words, Stanford & Co. must have a connection with the 32d parallel road at Fort Yuma, at whatever cost to them selves, yet by some means they have persuaded certain disinterested men that the county of Los Angeles should donate to this feeble and patriotic company, the immense sum stipulated in the propositions. It will be well for the intelligent voter to ask the motive for building this particular fifty miles of road 2. No one claims that it will benefit the people until completed to San Francisco. The chairman of the Committee of Thirty" asserted 1. A railroad through this county, on a legitimate basis, and within the shortest period. 2. Each voter may favor the Independent railroad through this county, for the speedy construction of which nearly twelve hundred of the most influential men in San Francisco are at work. 3. Each voter will remember that Stanford & Co. have explicitly stated that the subsidy did not apply to the proposed branch to Anaheim, and that the District Attorney admitted before the Supervisors, that no obligation had been assumed, by which Stanford & Co. could be compelled to build that branch. A TAX PAYER. The Baltimore American ingeniously appeals to the Democracy, "Let us have the truth." A beggar once accosted Dr. Johnson at a period when that matchless Bohemian was in condition of great wretchedness and impecuniosity, with a piteous request for the price of a three-penny loaf of bread "You might as well ask me to square the circle," replied the old literary phenomenon and passed on. By the proposed ship canal across the peninsula of Florida, 650 miles will be saved on the voyage between the Mississippi and the Atlantic ports. As the trade of the past year between the ports on the Gulf and those on the Atlantic coast amounted to 900,000 tons, it is believed that a handsome revenue would be driven from the proposed canal. The London Times says: General Grant's negligence and neglect may be forgiven, but the moral sense of the nation is not high enough him from office on that account. The Corner of the Great. The empalming of Mazzini's body recalls the singular fate which has attended the remains of so many distinguished men. In fact, an extremely interesting volume might be made of the posthumous adventures of the bodies of those whose memory the world has sought to keep alive. There is but little doubt that the results in the Pancheon of Paris which are shown as containing the remains of Voltaire and Rousseau are in fact empty, having been rifted during one of the periods of conservative reaction in France. Milton's head is said to be in the possession of a private collector in London. So is Cromwell. Jeremy Bentham's body by his direction, was stuffed and dressed in his naval suit of clothes, with his hat on his stick in his hand, and seated in his chair, is now preserved in a glass case. A few years ago there was sold at auction in London what was said to be the head of Confucius, the Chinese sage. It was a skull mounted in gold, and was said to have been taken by an English sailor from the Summer Palace in Pekin when that building United States Parcel Post. According to the United States Postal law which went into operation on July 1st, packages of dry goods, hardware, drugs (except liquid drugs), and other merchandise not exceeding twelve ounces in weight can be mailed to any part of the United States at a charge of two cents for each two ounces or fraction of two ounces. Under this law, the Post-Office authorities will forward a twelve-ounce package to San Francisco for twelve cents, whereas the express companies demand at least twenty-five cents for the transportation of a package, however small, for any distance. As a familiar illustration of the benefits of this new parcel post, a pair of dress boots, if neither boot weighs over twelve ounces, may be wrapped up in two sea-are packages, and be sent to San Francisco for twenty- NEWSPAPER AMBITION — Follow us from the Danville News: We have a boy this week collect back accounts to the late Even News.
