Vested Rights?No. 3. Huving endeavored to give some of the grounds upon which the claim to vested rights are acquired by private ocrporat ions from the legislative power let us look and learn if the people have not some remaining rights in railroad*. Although our courts have generally held thai an unlimited right or fran- chise granted by the legislature is be- yond the repeal of \u25a0 subsequent legis- lature, they have recognized the pow- er of cancellation as existing in Un- people, in their sovereign capacity. They have not placed the remedy be- yond the reach of the people, bin have removed it to the extreme limit of the power of that people, and to a point where its application is difficult and accompanied with long delay. The Supreme Court of the United States, iv v ease when it was contend- ed that atl act of the State Legislature was void, said: "We are not the guardians of the rights of the people of the State, unless they are secured hy some constitutional provision which comes within our judicial cog- nizance. Tlie remedy for unwise or oppressive legislation,within constitu- tion*! hounds, is by au appeal to the justice and patriotism of the repre- sentatives of the people, if that fail, the people in their sovereign capacity can correct tlie evil." The Chief Jus- tice of Pennsylvania, in an opinion of the court, said: "In every American State, the people constitute the sover- eign power with no limitation of that power hut its own will, and no trustee of it but its own appointee." For some time past, as wtdl as nt the present time, there lias existed to some extent an alliance between the gov- ernment and private corporations. This alliance has virtually ignored the jieople, and lias not kept the people's Interest as the objective point of its ac- tion. The government, instituted by and solely for the beet interests of the people, and by whom its burdens are sustained, has in all matters connect- ed with this alliance, given little or no heed to the welfare of the people. The power of private corporations, holding these assumed vested rights from tin- legislative branch of the government, has (instead of tlie people i elected and appointed officers of Government, These officers, having obtained their places through the aid of the corpora- tions, have for many years lent the influence and power of the government to the furtherance of the ends of the corporations instead of to tlie inter- ests of the people, whose agents and servants they are in the administra- tion of the government. These corporations, by largesses to the otlicers of tlie government, pro- cured, through legislative and judicial action, such au ascendancy over Un- people and their welfare, that their re- spective officers act as if the pres- ent interests of these corporations (regardless of the interests oftbe peo- ple), should In- their lirst, highest and only aim in their daily business. Hav- ing obtained from tlie agents of Un- people a franchise for a specified pur- jKise, the corporators assume that thenceforward the people have no rights in that matter, except such as may be to the interest of the corpora- tors to extend to tbem, The constitution of California says that it is one of the inalienable rights of the people to possess and protect their property, and that private prop- erty shall not be taken for public use without just compensation. It follows as a sequence, from these provisions, that when private property is taken from the owner, it must be for a public and not for a private use. As a corol- lary of these premises, we must find that each and every railroad which has the right to its roadway through the instrumentality of the courts, is for public use. Again, not alone the roadway, but every dollar which has been granted by the State, by counties and by cit- ies, as subsidies to aid in the construc- tion, and the putting into operation of railroads, hus been so many dollars of private property taken by process of law for public use, there is left no g.'ound whereon to stand in support of the allegation that railroads are the private property of the corporators, and that they can use that property asthey may seetit, without any regard to the iiulividuul Interests of the people or ths put lie w.-ifare.

The Star btwcopied, almost word for won I,proceedings which have been exclusively reported for the Hkrai.d, and inserts items from these columns day after day. Neither paper credits the HfSIULD with a line of the information which it gathers from these columns, and the editors of the Hkkai.ij call the atten- tion of the public to the fact that they receive over twice and a half as many telegraphic dispatches as both the other papers combined, and print daily twice as much matter as either. The Hkrai.d never "doubles" an ad- vertisement, whereas copies of the Star may seen in this office with about three-quarters of a column of the same advertisements on the outside that are on the inside. Tiie aim of this journal has been to treat both papers with courtesy, and be on friendly terms with their propri- etors; but it does not propose to pay for the matter in their columns, and allow them the civ.lit of it.

A suit is begun against Kciiyon, Cox & Co., to restrain Daniel Drew, ft spe- cial partner in the firm, from disposing of his property, which, it is alleged, be is doing in order to escape his con- nection With the Cana Southern rail- road bonds, which were said to have caused the failure of Keiiyon, t'ox aY Co. The action of the Dean of Canter- bury, in taking part in the celebration ofthe Lord's Supper, in the Madison Square Presbyterian Church, on the sth inst., caused, as was expected, much discussion among the members of the Evangelical and Protestant Episcopal Churches. Letters have been written to the Dean, and to Bish- op Potter of the Diocese, by Kt. Key. Dr. Tozer, late Missionary and Bishop to Central Africa. This morning a tardy publication was given to these letters, the existence and import of which has been known for some days. In a letter to Bishop Potter, Dr. Toner says: "It is by no means Improbable that restless and unstable persons in England will seize upon this act of What l must presume to be open hos- tilities to the discipline of the church, as an excuse or apology for attending, from time to time, the attractive ser- vices of the Church of Rome; but the result of this experiment here, in America, may be even more disastrous ?for so far as Dr. Smith's influence extends, it will suggest the idea of a promise held out by the Episcopal Church in this land, of becoming the haven of rest to men who were tossed to aud fro by the multiplicity of con- tending creeds. A committee was appointed to wait on Mayor Havemeyer, to see what could be done toward modifying the contract system, and give 50,00(1 per- sons, who were last year dependent on the commissioners of charities, some means of earning their own bread. They reported that the Mayor would do nothing, but that he said he did not care if one millionof people were with- out a chance of earning a livelihood this winter. Tlie steamship George Clyde, at Key- West October sth, f.oni' Galveston for New York, reports (hat during the severe hurricane of the 6tb, Captain dale, the second officer, and the chief engineer and one seaman, Were washed overboard and drowned.

EDITOB Hhkald:?The letter refer- red to is, perhaps, better known than auy other of Lord Hyron's. Au curly edition of his works, published übout 1835, contained a facsimile of it, one of which is doubtless the "original" in your library. The letter may also be found in Byron's works?Phillips, Sampson A Co., Boston, 1854. It was written five years before his death, and four years before he went to Greece. Bkppo.

The Indian reservation at Skoko- niish, Puget Sound, Is being surveyed and each Indian family allotted for- ty acres. This will compel \a> to hoe out his own living or starve. How Lone? By reference to the dispatches of to- day, it will be Seen the Indians of Ari- zona are again on the rampage. One thousand warriors under Del Che, for some real or fancied wrong, have 101 l their reservation, and arc now mur- dering, Another Indian war is mar at hand, unless vigorous measures ure taken. For long years has the pacific system been adopted; for long years have the territorial settlers slept on their arms, und held their lives in their hands; for long years have the lands of Arizona been unfilled, and the grass on its plains and valleys has rotted; for long years have the miner- al deposits lain covered, because no man dared to dig; for long years has a hind offering as many inducements us any under the fair heaven, been a waste,because no man dared make it his permanent home. The vigorous meas- ures of Gen. Crook for a time stopped murdering and plundering; but soon the troops were culled away and the riot of blood again begins. When will all this end? The government has been lenient, and bus been content with fair prom- ises and an appearance of present peace. In a day, in an hour, when no man is expectant, the savages come down, and the story ef a new massa- cre, varying only iv minute details, is told. The Government Is stirred up for a time, becomes energetic, uses harsh measures, temporary peace is restored, and then like a flush the Indian comes down. It is time this should end. Let there be no more nonsense. The reign of mercy has been passed. It does, per- haps, for those in the east who sleep in secure beds, whose families are not among the endangered, whose rela- tives are not among the murdered, to cry peace. Hut if they were the suf- ferers, if they paid Ihe penalty of a peaceful policy, a different cry would be theirs. If any peaceful, merciful policy is a secure policy, let that be adopted, for no man delights in blood upon his soul, even if that blood be Indian. Let them be collected and put on a reser- vation in the east, surrounded by a white population und supported hy the Government, if this can be done. The expense then would be less than that of the present policy. If Ibis can not be, if no policy but that of death, will stop the murderous brood from their killing, then let death be meted out to them, prompt and sure. At any cost, let the present policy end.

Vested Rights?No. 3.

Huving endeavored to give some ofthe grounds upon which the claim tovested rights are acquired by privateocrporat ions from the legislative powerlet us look and learn ifthe people havenot some remaining rights in railroad*.Although our courts have generallyheld thai an unlimited right or fran-chise granted by the legislature is be-yond the repeal of \u25a0 subsequent legis-lature, they have recognized the pow-er of cancellation as existing in Un-people, in their sovereign capacity.They have not placed the remedy be-yond the reach of the people, bin haveremoved it to the extreme limit of thepower of that people, and to a pointwhere its application is difficult andaccompanied with long delay.

The Supreme Court of the UnitedStates, iv v ease when it was contend-ed that atl act of the State Legislaturewas void, said: "We are not theguardians of the rights of the peopleof the State, unless they are securedhy some constitutional provisionwhich comes within our judicial cog-nizance. Tlie remedy for unwise or

oppressive legislation,within constitu-tion*! hounds, is by au appeal to thejustice and patriotism of the repre-sentatives of the people, if that fail,

the people in their sovereign capacitycan correct tlie evil." The Chief Jus-tice of Pennsylvania, in an opinion ofthe court, said: "In every AmericanState, the people constitute the sover-eign power with no limitation of thatpower hut its own will,and no trusteeof it but its own appointee."

For some time past, as wtdl as nt thepresent time, there lias existed to someextent an alliance between the gov-ernment and private corporations.This alliance has virtually ignored thejieople, and lias not kept the people'sInterest as the objective point of its ac-tion. The government, instituted byand solely for the beet interests of thepeople, and by whom its burdens aresustained, has in all matters connect-ed with this alliance, given little or noheed to the welfare of the people. Thepower of private corporations, holdingthese assumed vested rights from tin-legislative branch of the government,has (instead of tlie people ielected andappointed officers of Government,

These officers, having obtained theirplaces through the aid of the corpora-tions, have for many years lent theinfluence and power of the governmentto the furtherance of the ends of thecorporations instead of to tlie inter-ests of the people, whose agents andservants they are in the administra-tion of the government.

These corporations, by largesses tothe otlicers of tlie government, pro-cured, through legislative and judicialaction, such au ascendancy over Un-people and their welfare, that their re-spective officers act as if the pres-ent interests of these corporations(regardless of the interests oftbe peo-ple), should In- their lirst, highest andonly aim in their daily business. Hav-ing obtained from tlie agents of Un-people a franchise for a specified pur-jKise, the corporators assume thatthenceforward the people have norights in that matter, except such asmay be to the interest of the corpora-tors to extend to tbem,

The constitution of California saysthat it is one of the inalienable rightsof the people to possess and protecttheir property, and that private prop-erty shall not be taken for public usewithout just compensation. It followsas a sequence, from these provisions,that when private property is takenfrom the owner, it must be for a publicand not for a private use. As a corol-lary of these premises, we must findthat each and every railroad which has

the right to its roadwaythrough the instrumentality of thecourts, is for public use.

Again, not alone the roadway, butevery dollar which has been grantedby the State, by counties and by cit-ies, as subsidies to aid in the construc-tion, and the putting into operation ofrailroads, hus been so many dollars ofprivate property taken by process oflaw for public use, there is left nog.'ound whereon to stand in support ofthe allegation that railroads are theprivate property of the corporators, andthat they can use that property astheymay seetit, without any regard to theiiulividuul Interests of the people or thsput lie w.-ifare.

Oa &spf\nit Con'emporarias.

Tli;' ai iitioii of the Loa Angeleapublic fes called h> the following facta:

The Stprttt daily copies Into itsedition over a eolnnin of Hkita i.i> tel-egrams, under the heatl ol' "ElectricSparks." The Star btwcopied, almostword for won I,proceedings which havebeen exclusively reported for theHkrai.d, and inserts items from thesecolumns day after day.

Neither paper credits the HfSIULDwith a line of the information which itgathers from these columns, and theeditors of the Hkkai.ij call the atten-tion of the public to the fact that theyreceive over twice and a half as manytelegraphic dispatches as both theother papers combined, and print dailytwice as much matter as either.

The Hkrai.d never "doubles" an ad-vertisement, whereas copies of theStar may seen in this office with aboutthree-quarters ofa column of the sameadvertisements on the outside that areon the inside.

Tiie aim of this journal has been totreat both papers with courtesy, andbe on friendly terms with their propri-etors; but it does not propose to payfor the matter in their columns, andallow them the civ.lit of it.

Acommittee was appointed to waiton Mayor Havemeyer, to see whatcould be done toward modifying thecontract system, and give 50,00(1 per-sons, who were last year dependent onthe commissioners of charities, somemeans of earning their own bread.

Lord Byron's Letter.Makysviixk, Oct. 10th, 1873.

EDITOB Hhkald:?The letter refer-red to is, perhaps, better known thanauy other of Lord Hyron's. Au curlyedition of his works, published übout1835, contained a facsimile of it, oneof which is doubtless the "original"in your library. The letter may alsobe found in Byron's works?Phillips,Sampson A Co., Boston, 1854. It waswritten five years before his death, andfour years before he went to Greece.

Bkppo.[There is no doubt that the letter

published in these columns is from theoriginal MS. If "Beppo" would liketo see it, he perhaps could arrangewith Mrs. King for its transmission toMarysville by express, on a guaranteefor its safe return. With regard to itshaving been published before, no doubtour correspondent is quite right.- En.HIha I.D.]

Bough lumber is quoted ut $17 50per thousand in Sauta Barbura. Thislowprice is a Uod-send to persons oflimited means desirous of buildinghomes.

The Indian reservation at Skoko-niish, Puget Sound, Is being surveyedand each Indian family allotted for-ty acres. This willcompel \a> to hoeout his own living or starve.

How Lone?

By reference to the dispatches of to-day, it will be Seen the Indians of Ari-zona are again on the rampage. Onethousand warriors under Del Che, forsome real or fancied wrong, have 101ltheir reservation, and arc now mur-dering, Another Indian war is marat hand, unless vigorous measures uretaken.

For long years has the pacificsystem been adopted; for long yearshave the territorial settlers slept ontheir arms, und held their lives intheir hands; for long years have thelands of Arizona been unfilled, andthe grass on its plains and valleys hasrotted; for long years have the miner-al deposits lain covered, because noman dared to dig; for long years has ahind offering as many inducements usany under the fair heaven, been awaste,because no man dared make it hispermanent home. The vigorous meas-ures of Gen. Crook for a time stoppedmurdering and plundering; but soonthe troops were culled away and theriot of blood again begins. When willall this end?

The government has been lenient,and bus been content with fair prom-ises and an appearance of presentpeace. In a day, in an hour, when noman is expectant, the savages comedown, and the story ef a new massa-cre, varying only iv minute details, istold. The Government Is stirred up fora time, becomes energetic, uses harshmeasures, temporary peace is restored,and then like a flush the Indian comesdown.

It is time this should end. Let therebe no more nonsense. The reign ofmercy has been passed. It does, per-haps, for those in the east who sleep insecure beds, whose families are notamong the endangered, whose rela-tives are not among the murdered, tocry peace. Hut if they were the suf-ferers, if they paid Ihe penalty of apeaceful policy, a different cry wouldbe theirs.

If any peaceful, merciful policy is asecure policy, let that be adopted, forno man delights in blood upon hissoul, even ifthat blood be Indian. Letthem be collected and put on a reser-vation in the east, surrounded by awhite population und supported hythe Government, if this can be done.The expense then would be less thanthat of the present policy. If Ibiscan not be, if no policy but that ofdeath, will stop the murderous broodfrom their killing, then let death bemeted out to them, prompt and sure.At any cost, let the present policyend.
