Ho is extremely sensi tive on tho question of slurs and mud throwing, anil makes a profession of charity which covers a multitude of sins. It makes no differenco that his past policy has consisted of Just Mud Bllng Ing.and n6thiug more, and that his pro nounced jtolicy has boon agresslvo ; now, you would think an uncharitable thought had novor milled his lamb liko breast.

Tlio weary, woebegono look on tho cheerful contonanco of Postmaster Bor der is not the result of tho failure of the mail to connect, but it arises from tlio fact that about three thousand letters camo through on Saturday, and ho was compellod to work pretty near all night and all day Sunday.

'That wo recognize with deop regret tho fact that tho wealth of this great na tion is centralizing in tho hands of tho fow ; that Vast corporations and trusts aro being continually formed to the in jury to tlio laboring masses; that riches corrupt our national congress, our state legislatures and our courts of law.

Dispatches of February 29th, say: It has been raining or snowing right along on the Oregon lino in Northern California for several days and new blockades occurred yesterday between Sisson and Edgnood, a stretch of about twenty miles near Mount Shasta. There havo been several slides of mingled earth and snow loosened by the rains. Ashland is thus again cut off from com munication by rail, which was afforded for a few days by transferring at tunnel 9, near Belta, after the rest of the line from Ashland south had been cleared. The storm kept up yesterday and fur ther damage will probably be reported to-day. Eight inches of snow has fallen at aisson yesterday morning and it was still snowing there. The last three days have brought the company fresh trouble at tunnel 9, where a big landslide buried the track and tho mouth of the tunnel .several weeks ago. A large gang of men, with horses and carts, had got it pretty well cleared on ..Monday, und then tho rains brought down another slide, and the pile of dirt was.about as big as at the start. It was then determined, as re ported in the Chronicle, to try sluicing the small mountain of earth away by the hydraulic mining process. A com plote hydraulic outfit was secured here, and Assistant General Manager Curtis wont up with it yesterday. There is no convenient elevated water supply to which pipes can be laid to use the force of gravity, and so a powerful pump will bo set up by the river close by to force the stream into tho giant nozzle. "The only occasion where the hy draulic process has ever been used in railroading before," said Car Service Agent Georgo F. Richardson yesterday, "was several years ago, when a big slide of wot, heavy cluy, which could not bo handled with shovels, occurred at Towles, and the Towle brothers ran somo pipee to tho track and quickly sluiced it out. Sacramento, Fob. 19. The present indications are that there will be an other railroad blockade in the Sierra Nevada as great as tho one experienced last month. Snow is falling furiously and despite all tho efforts of the snow- plows and hundreds of shovelers it is piling up on the track. All trains have been hauled off until further orders Thero are nineteen locomotives at the sceno used in pushing the three bucker plows. Two hundred and fifty men and a large supply of provisions were sent to the mountains to-night.
