Wht (fanon gailp. Appeal CAKSON CITY t tatardar. UtfiWr 13, 1ST! THE CONFEDERATE VICE PRES. IDENT REBrKEJ POa-ITICAl. TPOCR1CT. It is not a highly arif-assnring lacl for ns patriots of the North to contemplate that Alexander H. Stephens, the Vice President of the Sonthern Confederacy, is almost alone in standing npon the floor of the House of Kepn sentutives to vindicate an honest and honorable senti ment of self respect as against the niaui- foM and flippant acensations brought against the Eepubhcaa party ia Con gress by the Slanderous Tress, for the enactment of the so-called Increase of Salary Bill. But that such is the fact is only too evident; and e n:a;t confess that we greatly admire Fiie calm and trntliful tone f Mr. SU plans in ad dressing himself t.v tLis much iliotortid sabjxt. Following is the ti lograpHe abstract of h-t ho s.M; and it was for treating this nir.ttcr in sach a in:infal t.i;e as this taat Senator if itt Carpenter and Gv'ntnJ B'jtser were? css:ii!ed by the voire of newspaper detraction as if lliey wire br.u.'Eiy l!aui.t:ng defiance of the t !i n-'tct iry priccipU s if hom sty ia thr faoe of a i iacLnl und plundered con- j stitnerjey: Stephen, r-f fleorgia. was t::o next k;i?.U. r. lli' arost' t.)

Stephens said the gentleman from New Voik (Freeman) Lad spoken yesterday ef dtmagopnisra. He (Stephens) niain laint d that there ennl be no statesman ship without it. There never had been a statesman who was not a demagogue. There were two kinds of demagogues the t-liaiu and the genuine. The cenuinc Utmaogue was a emu who led the p'ple, who pniiUd the people: while the sham d. cjay.ij.ae paiidered to the errors and prejudices of the poepie. lie wr.s ry plsd to say that the Increase i f Salary bill was a ruc.tsnre for wl.ich i ithir p -litital party Tras responsible.

It was a Constitutional law pr.F.sed,ni:d mruilv-rs were as mueh eiitliUd to tlie whole as they were to any time received under it. If any thought it was too rauch nnd received it, he ( Stephens) would n t cast a slur upon biui for doing s. lbi was not gnini; to idace a value on his wn services as a Hi present at ive. but if he were to state wL:it he thoucht thr- services .f a l: pre Kcntativts ought to be worth, it would o fir above the figure of auy law that has ver been passed.

Tbo tronctry will saj atnea to the propo sition, anJ the virtuons intlcpomlent press will raise a bowl of theft ami plnmler against Congrcia and tbe KaTj Department. Senator Davis cf West Virginia proposes tbe repeal of tho law en acted by tbe last Congress exacting Tmtage from newspaper exchanges. His proposition is a wise and jnst one. Tbe people's mail bags can well afford to carry tbe people's in f rmation free of charge. Asonira Mate has been fetched op be fore tbe Admiralty Court in San Francisco charged with unwarrantable crnelty. He is accused of having b;4er a sea-cook, when it was the ctHfsLns:nes to pound the mate. AFFAIRS PACIFIC Senator Edgerton has moved for the appointment of a joint Committee of the California Legislature to look into, and report npon, "the transportation question." Laying aside all suspicions of the motives of so facile a time-server and cpecial-pteadcr as Henry Edgerton, and assuming that he is actuated by a conscientious desire to serve the public (rather than pettifog Air. Booth's case for him,) we will accept his professions at par and quo to them at their nominal value. If there is any one qnestion in which the people of Nevada and Ca!i foraia are interested, it is in the ques tion of facts concerning railway trans- portation, frankly and fairly stated and civen to the public without coloring from either side. Everybody kuos that tae Central I'acifij Company Eiain t:.iu a rata of way charges for the carrying o Irtigtits anu poyei a largely at variance with the rates charged f.-r Through travel; and it is this system e.f discriminating charges ab-mt which theio is so mr.c-li of fault-finding. Now leaving out of the question the many abstruse theories i.ul iiao-spuu disserta tions upon the s it -m-e -f rai'wiy man agement, (ml these involve too pro- ad a problem t be Ivcd l-y tuy einer iroeess tuau e:i; lui, u:sT)a-.ol.ale studv.) let cs d. al ith some of the possibilities and v.Lispiicd probabilities of the Central FaciC: Coa.p iiiys status and current business, and then judge if there be not need of a careful bud calm and i;npart:z.;U iuspeetion cf its affairs. The most impoi'Litt tiling to be dete-r-nJ:ied is, Is the C ngre.-s if the 1'i.ittd States justified by cxi.-uugci.cunistancts in filing a reduced rate of passenger and freight ciiRrgts over this line; and if not, why not? It is generally known, or held to ba true, that tho half dozen of persons who are at the head of the Cen tral Pacific Company's affairs Lave been made millionaires by their railway oper ations. (So many r.nd obvious are the evid; cces i f their pnssession cf great wealth tL:.t it would hi preposterous to doubt their opulence.) l'.ut, the ques tion is. Is the current business r.f this railway remunerative to its j ovaers? Do; 3 it " ay," ev;n r.t the i preseiit high rat's of fnigl.t and travel, I to rsa that vwiJ? 1X--t is the q-.p.' lion, j WL' U v. k at t::o Io:ig strttclns of j trade lh .i t.v.v, fao a 1 :i and ": .- I ite w-witc as. at I.-?'.'

Vi'e suppeet that this is the f:ict entirely ignorant as we are of v. hat the real truth may be. If, on the other hxnd the Central l'ueific Cempany are mating the huge profits that they are popularly credited with, then, most obvi ously is it the duty of Congress to inter pose it3 authority and compel them to fix their charges for way travel and freight upon a scale of reduction which should coctemphite smaller profits to themselves and a less onerous tax upon the travel ing and business community. In other ords, .' fair '".;, all round, should rt the purp-jse and end of any ofilehd in Tistigation iuto the conduit cf this great public highway. It is possible that these racilic cocrjur.itiesnr,a charged by the critics ao-1 tuilnif s of the Central l'aciuc Company, forced to submit to an unwarrantable system of plunder, as it is also possible that even with the present rate of charges the road is barely paying tbe current expenses of running and repairs, and that we, the people, are merely paying the litigimate and natural price of oar comparative isolation. Ent the people are in want of fair facts and not any evasion of tbe company's affairs on the one hand, nor the boshy bun combe of Booth and his demagoging fol lowers, on the other. This is what is wanted of Congress; and we have faith to believe that this is the sort of investi gation that the affairs of the Central Pa cific Company will haTe.in good time, at its hands, whatever tho effect may be upon that company's credit and bonds, or howtYer sudden and complete the de molition of the assumptions and accusa tions brought against the company by its enemies may he. I VVESTICAT1NO THE OP THE CENTRAL BULVAT. LATEST TELEOBAMS. Sacramento, Dec. 12. As tho time draws near for the election or Ijniteu Statts Senator, the wire-pullers increase their exertions. Both Chambers were full of them to-day. They seize every opportunity to buzz the members of both Mouses. McShafter is busy, and great efforts to secure the Kepnblican nomination for the long term are Wing made for him. Wallace, Downey. Hagar, Wilson, noge, Kosch, Farley and Irwin are all named as Democratic candidates. The independents are confident that Booth cannot be beaten except by a dead-lock. Caucuses will be held by all parties to-night. In the Senate, Farley introduced a bill to abolish capital punishment. Referred to the Judiciary Committee. There was considerable discussion rpon the question of employment of ex tra clerks. Finally it was decided that r.o additional enrolling, engrossing, journal or copying clerks be allowed ex cept upon the written request and con st ut of the Committee on Contingent Ex penses. In the Assembly, on motion ef 1'nrker, the vote cf yesterday, which decided not to print extra copies of the Governor's M- ssag, was r considered, and a mo tion to print o.l'Ou copies was carried. Several bills were introduced and read that time. A JlEETira of the working men was he! 1 at Cooper Iutitute on Thursday ever :t:'- nndi r the ausriees of the Inter- ua:ioi.o'.d. They set forth that large numbers of tradesmen cud laborers were idle and thai it was the duty cf govern ment to provide work and means of living for them. They eooly resoluted to provide themselves with food and shelter r.t:d scud their bills to the City Treasurer for payment. Sfkitob CaurtSTZK of Wisconsin was on Thursday chosen by his Republican fellow Si nators Fresident pro tern of the Semite. He rec ived 32 votes to Ttr.r mnn's 16. This is a fitting answer to the cowardly slanders that have been pitched at him so pcrsUttr-Cy by the Lie-peddling Fress. Fkesidest McMahos vill commute Marshal Bazaine's sentenco to "0 years i "seclusion." He will hard'y seclude lor iwonv Tears; lor ue i urcauy r.iore - than three Feore yenrs old.
