UOHI IH O BOOT!
As nor readers ar aware. Mr. Gorbam
Bads a apaeeh at Sacramento on laat
Saturday Bight. Aim that Mr. Booth
replied to that spetx-h on tha following
Monday night anil that he assaileil Mr.
Gorbam itb aome severity in the coarse
of bia reply. Not on!; did Mr. Booth
a' lark Gha's statement of fact anil
fisrra. but he aasaileti hi personal
Standing. We a-id in an iasne of the
Arrrai. of a 4 .J or two since that if e
lw( Gm bam aa well aa we thought we
s)i. be- w..ul.l not permit that assault of
Booth's to so niMBHrin. ly the Situ
F anrisro f hrnmcir of Tharsiiry we fin J
oar prerlirtioDa verified. Mr. Gorbam.
11 We-.l.iemlay evening last made a
sp n-h in Oakland "to a large an.l goo4
buRiorei antlirnce" in which, in addition
to a diroaioD of the main political is
mm of the time he made reply to Sen
ator Booth's attack. We find this re
jniuttr reported in full in the Chrvnu-lr.
We repret that onr space precludes the
rprodi-tion of the w hole of it. As it is,
we strain a point to make room for what
folljas- We do not think that any, not
even bis liitterest eueruies, will find
any sins of weakness in this speech
cf Mr. Gorhnm 's. Ai any rate, so effect
ive, are bis sentences that the Sacra
mento !cmrd VnUm in a lengthy notice
cf the Mime bits:
-'Perhaps it is not 'a Pamsscns atee!'
that Gorhnm wit-Ids. hat at -least it con
siderably resembles one of those two
kandrd swords, which lopped a head or
a limb niih'y neatly on occasion. More
over, he bat rballeuged I'-ooih to meet
him on the flump, and has offered to go
thrngh the State wiiii hiui. We duu't
think this ihaileoue will re accepted.
Senator Born b reqnirts time aDd the
help of a library to prepare hisseerbcs.
Even when he makes an off li mil balcory
sperb be has his tabulated atutenietita
pn-ptred, after the f.i-hion of Mr. C. T.
Hopkins' "expected mannsi-ript speed'.
But be can hardly shirk tbe encounter
allt r what baa pasaed, for be will not
have a romt'ina'ion of orenns this year
to pqff all bis utterances and belittle
ihnw ot bia opponent. Fait play in to

Wmdine np its remarks, the same
pn er saT:
Tlie firat round most be credited to
Mr. (sorhani. Booth bears the maika
of nevere punishment, and hia aeronds
are- aptininff, hii aMluooaly. When
be hi- recovered his wind, it will be in

cony iwh."
R pljinloMr. Booth's t-ritici.-ms ol
hs remarks npon the prison at San
Qnei.tin and the manner of its nianege
ment nndcr a "reform" administration,
Mr. Gorham said:
"I bad remarked that I thought n
thousand prisoners, cood brawny fel
lows, wonld benefit their health by pump
ing water into a reservoir instead of
spending a $1,000 a month to pay for it.
A good business proposition, isn't it? I
think so. lint Mi. Booth gays the wells j
are hraekisb. And bia tender sympathies
are aroused in behalf of those miagnidrd
beings who bars strolled into the pen
itentiary and want letter water. Well,
he might to hare the State chemist try
and fix it. lie says furthermore, and we
will give him the benefit of liisargumenl,
that the anpply is insufficient in dry
seasons -I bat there is danger of water
famine, although I never knew of any to
be beard of there before this time. Thy
have always bad water to drink. A good
many of them are not in the habit of
drinking water. I auppose, and the rip
ply ia not needed so much for them aa
(or some people. They are not all ful
loweis of Mr. Booth's Mr. Bidwell's
principles. But aa to the cost of this
water snpply, I noticed no mention in
Mr. Booth's speech in regard to it;
$1,000 a month is the contract for five
years-f 60.000 and I have letter in
my hand received since I came to the
city, in which I am informed npon au
thority that cannot be doubted (and I
can make good my statement, I am sore,
to Mr. Booth or Mr. Facbeco, or any cf
those connected with tha government at
lbs prison), that tha works of the San
Safsel Watr Company, which ropply j
this prison, cost $42,343, and that by n 3
possible ingenuity can it be raised to
$45,000; sad that the State paya the nice
little aunt of $12,000 per annum for the
use of a portion of this water about one
fourth of it. A pretty good investment
I would like to spend $45,000 building
some water worka near some State insti
tution and get $12,000 a year for furnish
iug one-fourth of the water that I could
supply to the State. And this ia saddled
on tbe State for five years. I think it is
a small specimen of Tweedism, and looks
mightily like s divide. Of course I don't
mean to intimate any such a thing, be
cause if tley should pay $50,000 a day
for it, it wonld have to be honest because
it came from a reform Administration."
Noticing the Senator's remarks in re
ply to what he had fai-J in regarJ to the
public expenditures of California, Mr.
Gorham said:
" Mr. Booth complained of Mr. rhelps'
statement then that the civil eipenditnrrs
of this State in 1873 were 2.713.30,
and he said if Mr. I helps bad not been
eiihtr ignorant or careless, he would
have seen that $:kM,IXh) were for this
pnrpose, and eighty thousand for that
and sixty thonsnnd for the other. Vrry
well. I have added up the s-iius that
Mr. Booth wnnts deducted from the ex
penditures in 1873 and they amount to
just S175.352. I deduct them from the
amount stated by Mr. Tbelps, and I find
that $2,240,000 remain as the expendi
tures of 157." not a very important re
duction. Mr. Booth divided my apeee!:
up into three parts; an apology for my
self, he said, on the railroad qneation; j
abuse i f the State administration, aud
an attempt to arouse tbe prejudice of
RepnMicacs npon war rjaestiona. I
tbnrcght that his speech was divided alfo
into three parts; one part misrepresenta
tion, another part rage-, and the third
part wit, for 1 do not deny that to him;
and these three ingredients entered into
nearly every sentence he uttered. His
misrepresentations began with my posi
tion on the railroad question, and, by
inference, misrepresentation of his own
position on tbe railroad question.
I thit'k Mr. Booth is the or!y man in
the State, perhaps, excepting myself.
th:it clearly remembers what his position
has lxcn on the railroad qnestion. I
propose to refresh jour recollection of
'. He nas a Slate Senator in 18C3.
Thw morning I ran over tbe statutes of
that year. He was then a rampant rail
road man. and f ir all subsidies. I found
that an Ai t parsed to authorize the city
f San Francisco to subscribe $600,000
wor'b 'f t-toek to tlte Central Pacific
KatlroMl Cuinpawv. and $100,000 worth
f siock to th wicked Western Pacific
Kiilrad Company, which the Central
lic fir did not own then and never
would have owned if tbe Lill I bad aided
could hve t-een passed. That was just
a i . i I !. as it ? I found that Mr.
liontb was ihe Kpeciul ehampiou of the
bill in the S'-nate, and I have taken
t'il'i to c-"pv his remarfcs in favor of tbe
bill. The epeaker here quoted at lenctb
from a si ch delivered by Mr. Booth in
April. 161)3. Hi d continued:
"What is Mr Booth's political record?
He s it in the State Senate one session.
I do not know of any great public act
that he introduced. During tbe war he
an very modest, and I never knew that
h took any prominent part; indeed he
was regarded as a studious gentleman,
wh delighted in literary pursuits and
in mercantile pursuits, evenly divided.
But in 1871 a meteor shot across the
political firmament. A tnrpeutiue ball
taken from a grocery stand, could not,
in tbe bands of school boys on tbe
Fomtb of July, bave been flirted nbont
with more animation, or have excited
moie general attention, than did this re
markable meteor to which I allude I
have not mentioned tbe name and time
rolled on, and it seemed to take its
place as a fixed star, contrary to all
known rules, nntil finally to drop tbe
metaphor two very distiugnisbrd, very
able and very honest old gentlemen,
who published a newspaper in the city
of Sacramento, discovered that there
was hidden away in Newton Booth
those great treasures, that vast knowl
edge of Statecraft, which made it indis
pensable to the happiness and welfare of
this Stats that he should preside over its
destinies as its Chief Magistrate. They
called him. He came. There was wild
vociferation. There was wild denuncia
tion of all who differed.
Tha Stats Convention met, and ths
the two old gentlemen said, "If yon do
not nominate this man for Governor, we
will abase yon, we will blackguard your
ticket, no matter who yon pnt on it, and
we will asake lots of people believe that
we mean it, too. when we don't, and we
will get np trouble, aa we did in 1867;
and yon had better let ns bave oar way.
And the Republican party, conciliatory.
anxious to succeed, knowing that they
could not prevent tbe tnrowing of vitriol
by these two nice old gentlemen, did ab
dicate their authority as a party, and did
ratify tbe nomination made by these
men and tbe people subsequently sub
scribed to it. Tour bumble servant
came borne to the State, was sought by
Mr. Booth, aud his advice taken in some
respects. I was invited into the canvass,
and made an active campaign, did ell in
my power to rally Republicans to his
support. He bad no great margin to go
upon. He bad 2.200 majority outside if
San Francisco and 2,800 majority inside
of San Francisco. He was elected. He
pledged himself that if he remained of
sound mind he wonld not seek any other
office during bis term.
Us had hardly got warmly rsconsed in
the Governor's chair before be com
menced intriguing for the United States
Senate, and the tftices the places filled
by men who are paid out of tbe treas
ury to transact the public business these
oilict's were hawked about the streets to
buy rotes to coerce the election of this
gentleman to the United States Senate;
and if he has any doubt that this was
dene, if he has any doubt tbnt bargains
were made with political Committees to
be paid for iu e ffices in this State in his
gift, he can become fully satisfied by call
ing on the undersigned. This is a spe
cies of iconoclasin I dislike very much
to draw this distinguished man down
from the clouds and present him as a
mere man. He : simply a man with
human desires, like the rest of us, and
when he wants a thing he wants it, and
he means to have it known and to get it
if he can, and that is all right. But he
oiigtit not to tnke any improper means
to secure it, because he is opposed to
those things; and be has rallied around
him in thi State gentlemen ho are op
posed to improper conduct ou the p rt
of those v. ho seek office.
Mr. Booth made a very generous pro
position to me in his speech, a very
courteous proposition, and a very witty
one. He said that be wonld pay all the
taxes that tbe insane in this State had
cost me dnring the last eight years. It
was verv witty . Mr. Booth is rich aud
sajs that I am not. Peihnpsifl had
furnished the supplies to tbe Contract
and Finance Company, as he did, during
the eaily days of the Pacific Railroad, Ul
the prices that they were in the habit of
paying, my taxes might have been of
more assistance to the good people of
the State. But I rind nothing in the
Constitution or tbe laws of tbe State
that restricts tbe freedom of speech to
those only who are wealthy, or who pay
large amounts iu tbe shape of taxes. I
have held office for some years, I bave
disbursed something like a million a year
for the United States for more than seven
year, aud I am credited with being en
gaged in very gigantic schemis at all
times, both iu tbe State and in the
nation; and if, after all of it, I am as poor
as Mr. Booih would make it appear. I
don't know that it is any reproach to me,
So I will let him bave that little piece of
wit."
ern bave agreed to bnrry along tbe work
of construction ou their end of the line,
and Senator Jones set ms sanguine that
the whole road will be iu lull i peratiou
wiimn two years Iroin dale. J ben. witb
tbe Kureka and l'ali-ade road extend
ing south and intercepting this southern
route, we will be placed in position to
take choice of lines for tbe transaction
of all our business, whether it i with
tbe great couimeicial centers of the East
or with the toll-gathering metropolis
(San Francisco) of tbe Pacific Coast.
Then, too, will be the important ques
tion of freights aud fares be adjusted on
a fair and permanent basis by virtus of
this competing through hue. There
never were too many railroads iu any
country, and we shall bail tbe comple
tion of Senator Jones' road as dating a
new and prosperous era in the biatoiy
of Nevada. kureka Stntintl.

and expresses a determination to push

building tbe road direct to Panatnint,
