The Weekly Uxios has over ten tots the circu lation of its local cotemporaries, and the largest and most general circulation of any weekly published on this coast. A RAILROAD TO THE YOSEMITE VALLEY. We are informed, on the best authority, that Eastern capitalists have determined to build a railroad in this State, from some point near Madera, on the Tulare Valley Railroad, to Fresco Flat, which is thirty. miles from the Yosemite Valley. Tho ar rangements are already completed, and it is understood that the new road will be pushed so energetically as to be completed in time to carry the spring travel to the valley/ A railroad to Fresno Flat will cer tainly render the. trip to,; Yosemite far less formidable. .It will in fact put it within the reach of almost every body. But we are glad that the new company does not intend to carry the line any nearer the Valley than Fresno Flat, for we are convinced that to do so would be to destroy all the pictcresqueness and charm of the magnificent scenery, and to rob that marvelous valley of its poetry and majesty. J The road from Madera to Fresno I Flat is not particularly inspiring. It is in fact hot and dusty and monotonous during a great part of the distance, and if it can be hurried over behind a locomotive, so much the .better. But thence onward there should be no rushing, no grading down of hill?, do prosaic cuttings and fill ings, no jar i and rattle of cars," co hideous shriek ,of engines. The great temple of Nature should be approached in Nature's way. S The gradual and half-con cealed development of the wild and grand _' environment of J the valley should be achieved as heretofore. And when at last the unimagincd and inconceivable sub limity of the scene breaks upon the trav eler, he should enjoy and absorb it from the j primitive convenience of the stage, and not from the clashing, roaring, sentiment-de stroying standpoint of a railroad car. In short, wo should regard the intrusion of a railroad into the Yosemite Valley as the I most inexcusable and monstrous act of Vandalism. It might bring i more tourists to y the spot' It "might pay the lucre-loving projectors.' But it would take all the grace, all the subtle beauty, all the reverential atmosphere from the valley, and would degrade .it to the level of those show places which are at once the wonder and disgrace of their vicin ity. Give us by all means a railroad to -Fresno Hat, bit let the iron horse stop there. j Nobody who is able to visit J Yo aemite at all will object to a thirty-mile ride in a stage, and everybody who has been there will agree with us that to eh ter the valley behind a' locomotive would bo to lose everything best worth preserving iv the impicssiocs it produces. THEY ARRESTED HIM TOO SOON. It seems that Fischer, who tried to kill Commissioner Beerstecher, contemplated the assassination of J Mayor Kalloch" and other city officers. According to the latest theory it wa? therefore a mistake on the part of the police to arrest him when they did. Had he been left to carry out his programme several JJ'- political f problems might have been solved, and as homicide under any circumstances is now held to be justifiable, it is somewhat difficult to un derstand why be should have been inter fered with at alL Of course Fischer will be acquitted for shooting Beerstecher, for does he not say that he remembers nothing about it? if This is clearly emotional in sanity, and therefore the poor fellow can not J. be held responsible by 'a California 'jury.'-'.

KILLING NO MURDER. -7, r ~y. -_J^.i.i J-'* The Schroder case has ended ;in the ac- quittal of the defendant, and thus another is added to the long list of disgraceful pre cedents which convince 'the world that in California there is no public opinion against murder. This case was in several respects peculiar. There was }no doubt as ,to the fact tbat the defendant had killed Dr. Le fevre, but two pleas were J advanced on his behalf. It was claimed that he" was justi fied in committing the f homicide J because Lefevre had seduced Mrs. Schroder, and it was also asserted that he committed J the homicide while under the influence of emo tional J insanity. It is, however, very re markable that the defense did not substan tiate the charge of seduction, as it must have been in their power to do had the charge been .true. J-J They refrained from putting Mrs.' Schroder upon the witness stand, and they kept her out of Court alto gether. They relied for, this part of their case entirely upon the statements of I Dr. Stebbins, who knew no more .than* his daughter had told J him. The Court also refused to permit J the prosecution to avail itself of .this singular omis sion on the part of the defense, and the result was' to convey to the jury the impression that the. fact jof jJ the seduction c ought to be regarded fi by them as proved, when, in truth, no satisfac tory evidence of it was laid before them. We- believe that the rulings of the Court upon this J point were entirely wrong and unwarrantable, and that because of these rulings the prosecution was practically de nied its -rights. We believe that ,no lawyer of any reputation will express a different opinion, yet it is perfectly clear that upon the demonstration of Lofevre's criminal intimacy with the defendant's wife the whole case ultimately turned. It must further be pointed out that when seduction is asserted by a woman, and there is no corroborative evidence to sup port the charge, the greatest caution must always be used -in accepting it. For it is a fact well known to physicians and ex perienced jurists that women have of ten made similar charges against innocent par ties, and within the last half century at least two famous English divorce cases revealed precisely similar hallucinations. A propensity to fabricate accusations of this kind is one of the phenomena of the complex disease known as hysteria, and though It may be that no such morbid ideas were present to the mind of Mrs. Schroder in the present case, it is very certain that the jury were not per mitted to satisfy themselves as to the genuineness .of her story. In effect, the Court allowed the whole theory of seduc tion to be taken for granted, and this not withstanding the fact that it was the cen tral point in the case. .The jury were thus thrown back upon the supposition that Schroder had real cause for hostility to Lefevre, and the further supposition that he might have been insane when he com mitted the murder. Of course these the ories were incompatible. If Schroder killed Lefevre because he believed the lat ter had seduced his wife, insanity had nothing to do with his action. If he was insane, then the seduction story need have cut no figure in ihe case. But we are con vinced that the evidence placed before the jury was not sufficient to justify a verdict of acquittal, and that in rendering such a I verdict they, have once more emphasized j the utter inefficiency of our criminal ma chinery to vindicate the theory of the law and to punish crime. __ We have, in fact, reached a point at which it is necessary to inquire very seri ously whether the crime of murder should not be stricken from the statute books of California. If indeed it is public opinion whioh speaks through our criminal juries, then it must be recognized that the taking of human life is no longer regarded as de serving of any punishment in this commu nity. It is nonsense to keep up the pre tense of treating murder as a" crime when experience shows that any man may kill his fellow with practical impunity when it is more dangerous to pick a pocket than to cut a man's throat; and when the atrocity of a crime constitutes the surest guarantee of its condonation. The con venient and ready plea of emotional insan ity is always available to screen murderer. 0 and now it seems that we have advanced a stage beyond that even, and that it is held justifiable to shoot people down on the un supported accusations of third parties, whose susceptibilities must be so tenderly guarded that it would be thought too cruel to make them produce any corroboration of their stories. Jlt seems scarcely possible ]to proceed any further 'in breaking down the barriers erected by the law against capital crimes. .We have for many years been under the tyranny of unwritten laws" J which, -f as the lawyers inform. us, always supersede the written law in cases of this kind. Now we have a fresh expansion of unwritten law, to the effect that proof of an alleged outrage upon a female relative 13 not neces sary, but that a mere allegation justifies homicide. It is, in short, J clear that we have reached an equally absurd and intol erable position, and therefore we assert that if there is no possibility of punishing murder we ought to recognize the dominant public opinion, and conform our statutes to it. If this is California civilization, let all the world know it. Let us have the cour age of our convictions. Let us declare through the Legislature that homicide is justifiable, both :in cases of proved seduction, and in cases where seduction is charged or even suspected.'" It is evidently useless to go on protesting against the ac. j quittal of murderers so long as juries can not be got ta convict them. It is ridicu lous for the public to pretend indignation at what is necessarily regarded as its own action. If juries are really representative,' then killing is not murder in the eyes of Californians. If juries are not representa tive, it is time that they were made so, if the State is to retain any reputation for J civilized lines of thought and action. A CASE IN POINT. A dispatch from Washington in our issue of, Thursday read as follows A Tences ''see Democrat of some prominence,* who "arrived here i to-day, reports that the Republicans may very possibly succeed in J gaining a United States Senator j from that State. He says that State "Senator Harrison, a prominent Republi "can, has recently been to Washington, S and assured the Administration f that, "with the control of a little patronage, he 1 "(Harrison) could be elected United States Senator, j and' that -upon his return to "Tennessee Harrison not i only told his j "political friends, but said to the Demo i crats, that he had everything arranged to "get votes enough" in the Legislature, and I "that he would be the next Senator." Of course this story may not be true, bat it is to be remarked that ;it is one j" of if. those stories which experienced politicians will see nothing improbable ia, and the very fact that it has been thus publicly bruited .hows that it has not been regarded fas derogatory .to those concerned. The one really "K difficult circumstance about 1 it i is the implication that the present Adminis tration has concurred in the proposition of the enterprising State Senator .from Ten nessee, and has agreed to put in his hands the Federal patronage with which he expects to bribe his way into J the United States Senate. When such a proposition is coolly discussed, and in a tone implying a scarcely concealed hope that Jit i may J: be carried into effect successfully, it is evident that the need' for civil service reform J has be come very urgent. The theory upon which all such schemes are based is of course the paramount necessity of strengthening the dominant party in the United States Sen ate. J There are doubtless numbers of well meaning Republicans who" read i this dis patch .'.with; approval, .'and whose only thought was that it would be a very good thing if a Republican United States Sena tor could be gained in Tennessee." One _of the worst evils of the spoils system consists in its demoralizing influence upon the pub lic mind.". The extent to which the Federal patronage has been abused 'has dulled tbe perceptions of the people, and when a naked transaction of hart* r and sale like this is related," there are very few who regard it as improper or immoral. :It is therefore the j more necessary that every case of the kind should be carefully ana lyzed, and that its j true nature should be pointed out iv the plainest possible way. It is perfectly evident that if Mr. 1 Harrison should secure a seat in the United States Senate through the use of the Federal patronage, Tennessee will have lost a Sena tor. For a man so chosen cannot be in any true J sense a representative of or delegate from the people of his State. He is a mere creature of the administration, which has most unwarrantably interfered in the busi ness of the State for the base purpose of corrupting its people, and defrauding them of their right of choice. And for the men whom it is proposed to buy with federal offices, it is clear that tin J could not be the servants of tho people, but the pension ers of a party, while the very fact that they are ready to sell their votes for office demonstrates their utter unfitness to hold any responsible position. The spoils sys tem as thus illustrated therefore cheats the people of a United States Senator, and at the same time selects men on the princi ple of natural unfitness, instead of fitness, for Federal offices. The whole system of government is turned upside down for the furtherance of partisan ends, and when this is done there are thousands who will ap plaud the work as "smart" and credita ble." It is to make such corrupt combinations and bargains impossible, among other things, that Civil Service reform is de manded. The friends of that movement assert that the Federal Government cannot be trusted with a power of dispensing patronage which produces such evils, and which s_. perverts and overturns the whole scheme of republican government. They demand that neither the President 4 nor' Congress shall be allowed to exercise any dispensing power of the kind. They say that the country does not want the federal offices to be tilled with zealous partisans, but with men who understand the work they have to do, acd who are honest and faithful |as well as capable. They assert that to give a candidate for the United States Senate Federal patronage to dispense is in no way J more moral or more justifia ble than to give him coin out of the United States Treasury with i which to buy the vote 3of venal legislators. They iosist that any Government which so uses the Federal patronage is both corrupt and the cause of j corruption. They maintain that tho Government, the United States Senate, the State Legislature, and the people, aro each and all wronged and debased by such bargain?, and that while they are possible it ishopeless to expect thatauy public business will be performed as it should be. It ia by such methods that the baneful "Boss" syste _i in our politics has been brought to such disastrous dimensions.- It is in this way that men without statesmanship or patriotism or special ability, have been enabled to control whole States for years'; to monopolize the .Federal offices for their obsequious henchmen to dictate to county and State conventions to punish enemies and t reward friends out of the pub lic treasury to successfully oppose re forms of every kind, and to practically de prive the people of representation and voice in the counsels jof j the cation. Partisan ship has weakly accepted all these evils, and partisanship now resists their removal. But the people themselves have interests at stake which can no longer be neglected, and it is incumbent upon them to afford to the advoeatts of reform all the support in their power. 7 It is not enough to attack the spoils system vaguely and 'generally, either. It is necessary to seize upon spe cific illustrations of it, as we have done in the present instance, and to enforce the lessons which they teach ,to reflecting minds. Depend upon it, Jit .is infinitely better that Tennessee should return only Democrats jto the United^ States Senate, than that the Republican party should gain a member in that State at the expense of its reputation for good morals and concern for the welfare of the country. THE MONROE DOCTRINE. The flaunting of the Monroe doctrine in opposition to the Panama canal scheme ]of M. Lesseps may be productive of isi mo good, if it compels the country, to realize bow impotent it is to maintain any such theory beyond the range of mere duces* sion. The plain and painful truth is that the J United States does not possess the power to support its pretensions as against foreign J powers. --If J the French Govern-^ ment had determined to take a prominent interest in the Panama canal,' and if i our Government had objected to such a course, the objection could not have passed beyond the region of diplomacy. No doubt the American nation is very i rich and very capable, bat before governments can hold strong j language »on questions like i. the Monroe J doctrine -J they must be in a position jto f back up their theories f by physical force in the last resort, and that is just where wo are impotent.". We have not J a naval force J strong enough Jto en counter even such a power as Spain./. Be fore the fleets of France, or England, or Germany, or even Russia and f Italy, we should be quite helpless. It is therefore simply ridiculous for us to j attempt ,to bluster about the -Monroe doctrine. That doctrine is one which foreign powers may, if they _ choose, agree Ito but assuredly we cannot compel f them to do so, and if they refuse we shall hive to back down, or we shall have Jto accept war with the cer tainty of being worsted until we can build an f adequate j navy. j Tbat •iB the truth of the situation,* and it ought to demonstrate the absolute necessity of bringing our navy up to a level with those 'of Europe.' ~t -3 1 a lr jH,jji..- i ii^ ZjzirH&itf-.

The Hotel Langham," i Fourth and L f-iii ■__■___■■ I The new "Hotel r Lanßham,".' recently opened, is intended by its owner, E. P. Figg, and it 3 present managers, Terry Co., to fill a field in the hotel line not heretofore occu pied in this city.' The building,' situated at the corner of Fourth and L streets, and for merly known as the Figg House, has been raise aid thoroughly rebuilt, and is now a neat "and attractive five-story J building and containing about forty handsomely furnished I rooms. The conversion of this well-known dwelling into a hotel is a news event of more than passing moment. The front is finished with a double porch extending over two sto ries, "z The building, which is of brick, is paiated in ashes of rose hue, which gives an extremely attractive appearance. A fine, full width walk of best artificial stone has been laid on the south and west fronts of the hotel. That on the west is supported on brick arch-work, beneath 4 which are com-_ plete wine and provision store-rooms, as also fuel and other storage apartments, so The building is surrounded by a yard; which is being ornamented and set to choice flowers and shri'bs, and the entire premises are sur rounded by a row of large shade tree 3 stand in? on the outer lines of the walks. The first floor looks out immediately upon the surrounding yard space, and embraces a fine large reading-room, with an elegant bric-a brac carpet of costly body Brussels, with read ing tables and furniture to match. In the rear of the reading-room is a wine-room fitted in keeping with the general style of furnishing on this floor. V In the rear of this is the proprietor's pri vate office. Opposite these rooms is a large summer dining room, with artificial-stone floor, and in every way inviting as a cool summer banqueting room. Back of these is the summer kitchen and other working apart ments. The entire floor of this story is of artificial stone. The next is the main floor of the building, and is but a little above the raised walks of the street. Iv the front is the main hall and entrance, with all proper appointments," and in the rear portion of the hail is the business -ffice, furnished as if in tended solely for exhibition. On tha left of the hall front is the main reception-room, which is elegantly furuished with bric-a-brac carpet, furniture of rosewood acd ebony, richly upholstered, genuine Turkey rugs, Gobelin tapestry spreads, with antique cur tains and lambrequins, and over ail 'i of which an additional luster, and -_> pleasing effect is riven at night by an elegant chan delier, hung in a highly unique pattern of gilt and crystal. Back of the reception is an elegant and costly furnished J private dining room, the furniture being of French walnut. Back of this room is the Manager's private office, famished in a corresponding manner. On the right of the hall is the grand dining room, which is of sufficient capacity to ac commodate eighty guests at a single spread. It is lighted cheerfully by seven large win dows, and at night is made equally pleasant by five chandeliers. The tables are of solid carved walnut,' French veneer of latest pat tern, and chairs to match, A model of art adorns one side of this room,' in the form of a French walnut, finely carved sideboard, fin ished with marble and plate mirrors, arranged as a unique receptacle and depository for the table silver. The table service is of approved quality and variety. The wood-work of the room is grained walnut, and the walls are hard finished. In the rear of the dining room are the kitchen and pantry, which are models in their line. The kitchen is furnished with the Bramhall Dean, steel range, which was purchased originally in New York for the Governor's mansion, but was never brought into use until now. Upon the next floor, in front, is fitted up, in a very rich and j elegant manner, a ladies' drawing-room, I furnished with silk brocate! and rose- j wood furniture, with appointments and i trimmings corresponding. i The remainder of j the floor and the upper stories are arranged in suites of rooms and single rooms. These I are each finished and furnished in a style as i to color of trimmings and furniture bide- j pendent of and different from the other. Some'ara in "blue, soma in brown, others in light tints, others in dark. All the rooms are carpeted with body Brussels. The walls of each room are frescoed in a modest but very tasteful style, aad in unique and artistic i designs. Various new patterns of gilt aod crystal chandeliers are placed where needed throughout. All j the Moms are connected with the office by electric bells, and filtered water is provided for the bath, kitchen" and all the house purposes. It is probably one of the most elegantly fitted hotels of the in terior, and in all the styles of furnishing and finishing is new to this section in the hotel line."',.. _. School Examinations.— During the pres ent week the teachers of Sacramento Sem inary aro examining their classes ou J the studies of the session. Up to the present time classes have been examined in arith metic, grammar, geography, algebra, geolo gy, astronomy aud trigonometry. -The re sults thus far show excellent work done during the session.

The Weather.— The rain, which held up yesterday morning, commenced again early in the afternoon and continued until about 11 o'clock P. m., when it ceased. At midnight the storm seemed- to be over, and the moon could be seen, but the clouds still flew swiftly from the south. The heavy rain in the even ing, with the driving wind,* cleansed the walks and crossings, so -that, by the light from the moon at an early hour this morning, pedestrianism was at a premium. .New Chain-Gang -Uniform.— cloth suits have been provided for the chain-gang, so that they may clear crosswalks during rainy weather. They were out yesterday, and were _.s happy in their new uniforms as ducts io a shower, y This .'new departure will prove most r serviceable ar.d acceptable for pedestrians, and at the same time will enable the wearers to be out in company in all weathers.

Jj; Either Mr. Fred Kirn's personal popularity jis great,' or the people of Sacramento are, 1 more J than any i other l community, J ardent lovers of music. It rained heavily all last evening the v. md blew, a gale J the streets and; crossings were nearly afloat, and mud reigned supreme. In short, it was a night to stay at home one in which to court the ac quaintance of the fireplace a night for bat tened windows, for dressing-gown and slip pers, and for cosy comfort within." L Never theless, hundreds %of ladies and (gentle men faced the heavy storm 'r and braved the portage of the highways' to attend Fred Kirn's f concert _ at the Congre gational Church. ;i The 'f, result was an auditorium filled to quite its capacity j; by a brilliant audience, an audience which, un der the circumstance?, was a great surprise in its size and character. It was a flattering testimonial to the beneficiary and a speaking witness to the growing taste for musical en tertainments.*^. The programme opened with a 1 piano "Kermesse," from Fau-t, by the director of the concert, Santiago Ar rillaga,'' a i pianist i of superior merit,- 5 and whose playing elicited the warmest applause,' leading to ids recall. Charles Southerland, a baritone, gave with rather pleasing effect Weiss' p "village Blacksmith," but f the singer did not make a profound im pression. Guitar solo .byJM. SY. Ferrer, who gave a "composition of his own, varia tions Elixir d'Ainore." performer re ceived a flattering indorsement of his play- ing, in which he is unquestionably a master. Soprano;* solo, jcavatiaa from Lucia,", by Miss Jovita A. Ferrer,' a lady with a pure soprano voice, which the manages well. She sang with great clearness and sweetness, and won the most cordial applause.' Piano solo," Impromptu,", j by Chopin, Miss j. Eugenia Ferrer, who played with taste,' precision and vigor, and won a j deserved recall. R. H. Auerbach gave Honor and Arms "as a bass solo." Ho surprised those best acquainted with his vocal efforts by the superior manner, io which he gave this difficult selection. It was the best he done here and was a worthy performance, and suggests fluttering possibili ties 2 for: this amateur, if Jhe does not permit "himself to neglect study by his pres ent and undoubted success. He. was recalled, as were the others. Mr, Kirn and Mr. Ferrer then gave a guitar duet with excellent effect, and were recalled by exceedingly loud and general applause. .Miss Jovita Ferrer then: san?, OJi Luce di quest a Anima," from Linda, ar.d answered to a recall with a charming Spanish song. Mr. Kirn then gave a guitar solo, and was twice recalled, playing each time and being each time warmly ap plauded. 7 A duet, "I Pcscatori," by Miss Jovita Ferrer and Mr. Southerland concluded what proved to be a very enjoyable musical entertainment The numerous encores and the responses so lengthened the programme that the titles of the selections given on re appearance are here omitted, but the pleasing manner in which Miss Ferrer sang Little Mountain Maid," on oae recall, makes that effort worthy of note. Personal.— George Rice, of j San Fran cisco, came up, met Mrs. j A. N. Towne and Miss Eva Towne here upon their arrival yes terday morning from the East, and accom panied them to the Bay. Dr. Harkness also arrived from the East and went to San Fran cisco. F. W. Gross, Clerk of the Supreme Court, was in the city yesterday. Director W. F. Knox, of the Drainage Commission,' with C. M.
