Mr. Imckinson— I believe that the reasons for putting this bill upon its final passage were very fully explained yesterday during the debate. I think it is a case where it requires more speed upon the part of the Legislature when the fact is under stood that although this Act has been in existence for some four years nothing had been done under it by the Commissioners appointed or the officers au thorized to exercise powers under the Act, ex. cpt what might be termed preliminary matters, until during the .month of December last. Prior to that time ♦hffCommissioners themselves had been engaged in listening to repor's or going on juakc.ing' expe ditions ar^ und the country. They traveled largely, became gentlemen of experience, and profiting by that experience they seemed to quietly let the mat ter drop, until in December last the matter was resuscitated after some three or four years had elapsed. Then these Commissioners were appoint ed, wept to work* immediately,, and inside of three weeks after the appointment of the Commissioners we have a report which was to be presented to the Board of Supervisors hurt evening for their con firmation. I think, as was well said by the gentle man from Yuba last evening-, the delegation being united in the opinion that it is an attempt to per petrate a fraud on the cit}*, that it does not become us in this early stage ot the session to handle so carefully a matt* which is admitted upon all hands to be a fraud. I think that if we are satisfied upon that point, that this bill should be repealed, it seems to me that it is DECENT AND PROPER, And comports well with the dignity of so august a body even as the Senate of the State of California, to handle* this fraud without gloves, and, in the lan guage of the day, to sit right down upon it most emphatically.. Mr. Comikr I am in favor of the suspension of the rules in this case. I think it was pretty well settled here yesterday Chat the matter was looked upon generally as a fraud, and tbe vote upon the bill would be nearly unanimous. I think, as we havecnly one hundred days in which to remodel all the laws of the State of California and make them comply with the provisions of the new Constitu tion, tha*. there is urgent necessity that we should not waste any more time than is necessary on such measures as this, when we have thoroughly satisfied ourselves that it is a fraud. I myself cannot see any necessity for delay up this measure. Matters that have not been considered I would of course ob ject to being rushed through, but I think the whole State of California is satisfied in regard to this measure and, as the gentleman who preceded me remarked, I think it will comport with the dignity of this body to suspend the rules and piss it. Mr. Wendell It seems to me that the question involved here is not as to the meri s of this bill, hut as to tie propriety or expediency of suspending the c institutional' provision -which requires every bill to be read on three days. I have no doubt thy tbe Assembly bill is -a good one l expect to vote for it I on its passage I do not believe it is _, i'if SETTING A good rKFCT.I>KXT For this Senate, at the commencement of theses- i sion, with ninety tftjl of the Mm before us, when a bill comes in to us from the Assembly, *'here it originates, having passed through all the ordinary stages of a bill, for us to set, the example of suspend ing the rules to pass it. The reason seems to be principally thit tl is is a good bill. Now, if we in augurate the principle of suspending the rules to pass a bill because it is a 'good bill, we may end up by passing boom bills under a suspension of the rules which are not so good. Similar provisions to this in our Constitution are incorpo rated in the Constitutions of various States, and all of them have been adopted in the last forty or fifty yeais. The clause authorizing the Legislature to suspend tha* constitutional provisioi in case -of urgency was put there not that the Legislature might suspend the rule whenever in their judgment it was desirable, but simply that in times oF great public danger, as insurrection or invasion, a case d emergency might arise, and ii might be necessary to pass a Lni at once. I do not understand that It was intended to give the Legislature tbe power to suspend tba*. provision whenever they thought it was necessary to pass a bill in haste. In one day more we can pass this bill le^'aTy and constitution ally.. It was said ywaterday that it wj>s a case of urgency because the B"ard of *;u[»eni-or«i were to meet his*, night, and that they might do something. Last night has passed, an I the session ol the Board j of t Supervisors has passed, and we have heard nothing rdvanced on this floor to-day to show any emergency or urgency in this case. r-fffrf- Mr. Baker— When this question was before the Senate on Saturday I voted fora suspension of these rules, because I believed that this was, if there ever

could be one, a rase of urgency. lam still of that opinion 'A.is notnipj, .1 d .hall vote WfCwor'tf a au-jpcusioii ot these rules, On yesterday there Mas an opposition, coming from a portion of the San Francisco delegation, to a suspension of these rules. I put to the gentleman who represent*! that delega tion this morning the question why, when he. had said he would vote for the passage of the hill, he would not then and there vote in favor of sus pending the rules, and to that I received no answer whatever. There is this morning no reason assigned for the eh i ge in the position" of the gentleman trom the Thirte nth District. I have been vi able to comprehend the course of certain Senators in th San Francisco delegation. There has-been no reason assigned, and although I asked again this morning, still there is no reason. No* it does seem to me that this is URATE. TRIFLINO WITH TUB SENATE. 'Z It seems to me that when the minds of the mem bers of this body are made up that there is a rea son for a course, that that course ought to be followed. It seems to me that to refer this matter to the delegation merely for the purpose of receiving from that delegation a report upon a measure which they themselves are in favoi of, and which they have said on the floor of this Senate and out it, that they are in favor of, is a course m.st extraordinary. And 1 am frank to ssy, from the debate on the floor of this Senate, that the ouly reason, so far as I could fathom it, was to enable certain moves to be taken in a certain quarter, and for assaults on the Repub lican party. Now, so far as these measures are con cerned that have been taken outside of the Senate, I have nothing to say but, so far as the assaults made upon the Republican party and the Board of Supervisors of San Francisco are concerned, they will very soon pass away and be forgotton. Stronger arms than those of the Senator have attacked tbe Kepublican party and have fallen; more trenchant blades than his have been shattered to atoms in attempting to overthrow its grandeur aud its greatness. 1 refer to it now, sir, for the purposo of saying that so toe as I can understand motives or intentions, that was the only reason for opening the debate yesterday upon that question. So far as I am concerned, 1 am prepared to be content and to vote in favor of the suspension of these rules. It is very true that ._*-_.;? XitfA •-j.~. TO* CONSTITUTION Calls for a case of urgency but what is case of. urgency What shall be, but the judgment of the Senate And after the San Francisco delegation, in open Senate, have said that they are in favor of the bill, and that they will vote for it when the proper time comes, what is there to stand in the way of this measure and of this suspension of the rules? It is an old maxim that we should never put or? until to-morrow what can be done to-dsy, and after hearing the remarks of the Senator from Marin, showing that this Act is a supposed fraud in all its terms, and when every San Francises Senator was pledged to its repeal, and nearly every taxpayer of that city was in favor of its repeal, it seems to me hat we should then and that we ought now, at the earliest possible moment, put this bill upon its passage and call for its repeal. Asa taxpayer In the city and county of San Francisco, I shall vote to suspend these rules and for the repeal of this Act. As resi dent of Ssnta Clara, representing a constituency amongwhom are the owners of property in San Fran cisco amounting to mill ons of dollars, I shall vote for the suspension of the rules and the repeal of this Act, and I take it that -though I come from Santa Clara county —I represent a constituency possessing as much of the intelligence and wealth of that great city, though they may reside in Santa Clara, it any gentleman who voted against the suspension of the rules yesterday on the other side of the Sen ate. Now I yield to no man in my veneration roR THE new constitution, Which we have sworn to support. I shall stand by it in the letter and in the spirit. At the same time I do* not recognize any rule in that instrument as au iron-bound rule, which we are compelled to fol low at the dictation of anybody but it shall be ad ministered, so far as I am concerned, in accordance with its spirit and letter in all instances. I cannot understand why we should delay twenty-four hours, and I think tbat the bill ought to be* immediately put upon its passage and placed in the hands of the Governor for bis signature at the earliest possible moment. These are my reasons for voting to-day, as I voted yesterday, for the suspension of the rules. I trust that they will be suspended and the bill parsed. Mr. Enos 1 am here to impugn no Senator's mo tives, and while I shall concede to all Senators the belief that their motives ore good, I shall not allow any Senator to impugn my motives without I shall put that Senator right and show him that he is wrong. I have been charged, in making my strenu ous resistance to the suspension of the rules yester day, that my motive was that I might ATTACK THE ORRAT RKFI'IILICAX PARTY. I had no such motive. I respect a great party. Why, Mr. President, the idea that I had the motive of attacking the Republican party I had to give the history of this Lake Merced scheme I had to say that this scheme had been on the statutes for four years nearly I had to say to this Senate, iv giving the history, that the old Board of Supervisors refused to confirm the Commissioners that had been selected by the District Attorney, the Mayor ami the Auditor. I did say, and 1 say it now, that the Re publican Board of Supervisors inauguarated this very scheme and put it on foot, which calls for the necessity of the suspension of the rules. Seven men in that Board of Supervisors, without giving a moment's warning, en the evening of the luth of December passed this resolution approving of the appointment and conn niing the appointment of these Commissioners. It to k the people of San Francisco by surprise. They were astonished and in less than six hours the whole city was filled with denunciations against these men, and the cry of corruption went forth, and it is my right to de nounce them at public officers for that act. That was the object, and the only object, I had in speak ing of that Board of Supervisors. They were •sleeted with the express understanding that they were -'f HOSTILE TO THIS R-TGERS ACT. No man in the city of San Francisco that wns placed upon that ticket, or any other, for any office where they would be called upon to exercise any legislative power, could have received a hundred votes, hardly, in San Francisco at that time, unless ho Was. And it is because of the action of that Board that this Senate to-day is called upon to deem this a matter of urgency. The gentleman says that he made inquiries yesterday as to why 1 would not then move and vote for the suspension of the rues. 1 gave him my reasons then, and 1 re iteiate them now. I am not in favor of takings bill up without more reference. I thought it waft due to the San Francisco delegation that they should be recognized, and that was one of the reasons 1 made my opposition to it at that time. lam op posed to hasty legislation. Why, we have witnessed, and I take this opportunity of congratulating the distinguished Senator from Sacramento on his op position—when they brought up that famous law known as the gay-law. the city officials of San Francisco rushed up here and they said, Without you pass this bill now we will have a war. The streets of the city of San Francisco will run with blood." nd without any time to consider they ru-htd through that law, and I stand here to day and assert, as a matter of fact, that I believe the is hardly a man who voted for the law, if they could have waited a day or two, that would have voted for it. I have heard many regrets on it from the members of the Senate and lower bouse. THESE ARK THE REASON'S Why I have taken the course I have in relation to his measure. It was referred to the San Francisco delegation. We are all in favor of the repeal of this law. And the reason I assign for making this rejiort is that we all agree that it should be repealed. The matter has been discussed and the law has been presented to the Senate 4 We are prepared now to act upon it. There may lie some liability attach to the city by our delay. The provisions of that Act arc still in doubt, and therefor. I am in favor of the suspension of tbe rules. Mr. Baker— l would like to ask the Senator a question. Was this bill discussed in the San Fran cisco delegation last night? Mr. Exos— No, sir it. was not. It was not dis cussed because every member of the San Francisco delegation was already acquainted *vith the merits of this bill. They came FKRBII FROM TIIK PEOri/S. They have pot their instructions from their immedi ate constituents. They need no instructions from this Senate to vote upon this proposition. Mr. Cheney— lt was my intention to keep my seat and act in a conservative manner as an impartial juror in this matter, but I have come to the conclu sion that if this matter was or was not a case of urgency, it is rapidly becoming one. Already three or four hours of the, time of the Senate has been used up in discussing the urgency of the passage of a bill tbat every Senator admits is a uood -bill, a just bill, and one that ought to bo passed. It has been referred to the San Francisco delegation that we might tickle their fancy and their desire to be re coirnized, and I am now in hope that this Senate will put this bill upon its passage and end this mat ter. We have but about ninety days more before us and the business of the Sen ate is accumulating rapidly. The people desire some reforms, and among others, that there should be some retrenchment in public ex penses, and yet this Senate will spend three or four hours on such a discussion as this. .ff IT is SOW ritOKST. We may be three or four hours more at this dis cussion. Let us settle the matter, anil, vote by a two-thirds vote to suspend the rules. These are my reasons for so voting. Mr. 'Sears— ln order that we may not make any mistake when we come to vote upon this question 1 desire to say a word in regard to the provision of the C.-ns' itution. I It reads as follows: No law shall be passed except bybill. Nor shall any bill be put upon its final passage until the same, with the amendments thereto, shall have been printed for the use of the members nor shall any bill become a law unless the same be read on three several days in each bouse, unless, in case of urgency, two-thirds of the house where such bill may be pending, shall, by a vote of teas and nays, dispense with this provision." The motion ought to te to dispense with Section 15 of Art cle IV. of the Const it v on, and place this bill upon it- final p_._.-2._re. The vt.te*M the Senate, I take it, wiil dec de the question of urgency.' If the Senate shall by a two-third vote decide in favor of dispens ing witb this provision, that rote will settle the question of urgency, as no Court will go behind the action of the Senate to determine whether any ur gency existed. And ia regard to suspending this provision, it simply is to suspend tbe provision in order ti.at a bill maybe read more than once the same day. I only tate the Question as I under stand it, and if I have not stated it correctly I would be pleased to have some Senator make some further statement. I on'y desire that the bill may be jiasscd in a satisfactory manner, and when the vote Is taken on dispensing with this section of the Constitution, of course the ayes and noes have to be called. 1 1 move to amend the motion so that Section 15 oi Article IV. of the Constitution, or so much of it :is relates to the reading of tills on three several day?, be dispensed'with. Mr. Esos— l accept the amendment. '"V" The roll was called and the motion tost by a vote of 22 ayes to 17 noes— two-thirds being required. 1 :A- Till COMMITTERS.

The President or act ing President of the Senate or less .than a quorum thereof shall have the power to issue process, di rected to the Sergeant-at- Arms, or any other per son, to compel the attendance of members absent without leave.

The question then came up on tho confirmation of T. J. CluTiie. Mr. Sattkrwhitk— I believe somewhat, gentle men, in the doctrine that to the victors belong the spoils, but, sir, in applying that rule I have always looked around to tee if there were any spoils. To keep up party organization there must be discipline and allegiance. lhe Republican party and its mem bers, and it is numerous, charge the Democratic party with upholding party organization and always voting the ticket. In fact that we were not sufficiently progressive, enlightened and cultivated tube impartial on this subject of appointme ts and giving away offices when we were in the majority. 1 believe.sir, that all parties, more or less, want offices, but I wish to institute a comparison right here. Here is an appointment one just refuatd and mother one about to be- which amounts to nothing at the pres ent time. There is nothing in it, to use the usual expression. Now I take it from the vote we have just had that this Senate docs not intend to confirm this appointment. fj Now, sir, I wish to direct the attention of Senators to the action x.4 the Democratic Senate as compared with the action we have taken. I refer to the confirmation of General McComb. The Democratic Senators met ____. emeu*, sir, when bis nomination was before this body, ami without a dissenting voice agreed to conirm tlie ap pointment of that gentleman as Briga&er General, and I refer to the memo rs of the Slate Board of Health, the Regents of the SUte [.Diversity, Di rectors of the Insane Asylum I and I refer to the Republican Senators here present as to the bomber of appointments that we confirmed that Governor Irwin made and this Senate rxmfumed, and the num ber of appointments that Governor Booth made that the succeeding Democrats Senate confirmed. Now, sir, if this Senate precede and refuses to confirm the appointment of 'Jen eral T. J. Cluuie I will ouly .._■__.___ be glad of the opportunity to say that we, at least, have proved ourselves, as Democrats, as liberal, as cultivated and as enlightened as tlie Republican party itself. TO THE VICTORS. Mr. Johnson— I simply desire to say that when the appointment of General W. T. Crowell and oth ers came before a Democratic Senate they were re fused confirmation, and I go by the principle laid down by the Senator from San Bernardino, that to tig victors belong the spoils, nHe says it is good dflctrine, anil 1 shall vote against the confirmation of each and all the nominations. _ Mr. Satterwhite— Does not the gentleman know' that General JlcComb was confirmed? Mr. Johnson -1 answer, I believe some dawning of reason did get athwart the .vision of the Demo cratic Senate, and that by 8 .me' miraculous dispen sation of Providence they did confirm General Mc- Comb, but they did it by mistake. When they found they bad done it, it was too late for them to correct the mistake. The Senate proceeded to vote upon each of the appointments above named, and refused to confirm each one by about the same vote ason the first. On motion of Mr. Johnson, the Senate adjourned.

To insure the execution of the provisions of this Act, it declares that the Treasurer paying a salary to any such alien does bo at his own cost. J By .Mr. Walker— An Act to provide for licensing of and against the evils arising from the use of in toxicating liquors. [It differs entirely from any existing law on the statutes of this Slate. It is not a prohibitory law, but requires the vendor of intox icating liquors to give a bond for the damage bis liquor may do, making it a misdemeanor to sell without a license and a bond.l The Speaker— lt will be referred to the Commit tee on Corporations. Mr. Brai'NHART— I move that the bill be referred to the Committee on Chinese Immigration aud Emi grating. It is nothing more than a matter of cour tesy that' a member introducing a bill be allowed to suggest to what committee it should go. The Speaker— Tho rules provide that the Chair shall refer all. bills to the appropriate committee, unless otherwise ordered by the House.

I see bo reason why tijfse ge-.tlemen here BO persistently object to t he reference cf ureas u res affecting Chinese to the proper committee, or why they should wish them referred to comaritteee which 1 consider un friendly and hostile to such legislation. Gentlemen referred here yesterday to lolls that are being intro duced as class legislation. They seem to know in advance thai it is class lSgiilition, and are exceed ingly anxious thai such bills shall be considered by tn.- committees of whicii they :irc members. And here I may say that tho majority of these commit tees are men who have declared upon more than one occasion J Im M'KAKEti gentleman will comets order. It is not in order to refer la any member of this Boom, or to any member ol a committee, in dis respectful terms. '1 ho gentlemen hare all sworn to obey the Constitution, and it is not in onto to refer to them in disrespectful terms. Mr. Itiivi'MiAUT Ido not desire that a bill having the interest of the p.. .pie at stake should be iu trusted to men who have declared that these Acts wereunconstitutiona' Tlio SrEAKKR— I ho gentleman will come to order. Mr. Hit At'.Mi.tr.r I think I am justified by the re mark made by the gentleman here from Alameda, that this is OHM legislation, and of the gentleman from San Fracc'sco, when he intimated that the committee that w.uld be appointed by the i'l. air upon Chinese was incompetent to deal with these questions. Ido not know exactly what that com mittee will be. I hive reason to believe that I will be on that committee. And so far as I m con rented, though not an attorney. I say that I have just as much right to deal with questions of this kind as the Judiciary Committee or any olher com mittee. Mr. Trot— Now it seems to me that such a dis cussion is very unprofitable. There is a way of doing things decently and in .order. I Here is a bill that refers simply slid entirely to the matter of corporations incorporated within this State who employ certain classes of people— Chinese or Mon golians, I do n'.t know what the difference is— the author uses both words. Now is not the Committee on Corporations the proper committee to oVal with this bill. You might just as well refer this bill to the Committee on Habile Morals, of which the gen tleman from San Francisco is Chairman. He seems to think that he is c-arged with guarding the inter ests of the people, and that these bills should all if they refer to a certain clasj of legislation— go to the appropriate committee, and when they come ba k from that committee, if it is thought proper by the members of this house, they can still be referred to the Committee on Chinese and get the scintilating genius of the gentlemen of that committee. Mr. Mat— To my mind, Mr. Speaker, the gentle man from San Francisco makes a great mistake. Now the: c is but one sentiment upon this floor with regard to the Chinese question. There are no two sentiments here. You may poll the membership of this house and there will not be found one vote against the objects that the gentleman seeks to ac complish. But if by a wholesale, sweeping resolu tion you refer everything that by any possibility might touch the Chin— to the Committee on Chinese Emigration and Immigration, you will only retard the labors of this house. Take that bill, for instance. Suppose you refer it to that committee. They will sit upon the bill, bring back their report, and* we will get into a wrangle in less than five minutes over the constitutionality of the measure. One of these gentlemen learned in the law will point nut that the bill cannot be made to- stand the teat of judicial interpretation, and we will get into a wrangle over it, and eventu ally will have to refer it to the Judiciary Committee, and when it comes back it will then be referred to the Committee on Corporations, where it ought to have gone in the first instance. And so the bill will go all this round, and I venture to say that there can be found no difference of opinion with reference to tbe objects sought to be attained. I have no doubt ol it. Here is a gentleman brings in a bill preventing fishermen from catching little minnows. Now some one jumps up and says, "That has reference to Chinese, and must go to tho Com mittee on Chinese Immigration and Emigration. You must not refer that to the Committee on Fish and Game." Why, the thing is absurd. I have in my desk a bill relating to the health department of San Francisco* in which I incorporate some very stringent matters that will be peculiarly applicable to the Chinese, and 'hen some gentleman will jimp up and move that the bill be referred to the Committee on Chinese, and say that the San Francisoo delegation are inimical tn the principles oontaired in the bill. That the Judiciary Committee of this House, com posed. of the ablest lawyers on the fetor, is inimical to the principles of anti Chinese legislation. The Committee on Corporations, composed of the most distinguished men on tte floor ol this House— anti- Chinese. I believe, e.tery one ci them will be charged with being inimical to. legislation on the Chinese question. Ido hope tbat the House will signally "sit down aaw* M all his thing, and say I that every bill shall go to its appropriate committee. Mr. Hardy— Mr. Speaker, 1 think tl.is bill should go either to the Jp. did an Committee or to Com mittee 'on Chiac-e. As far as I am concerned I am willing tint the Committee on Chinese Emigra tion and Immigration should have the hill for di gestion. After it his been returned to us, then if it Is thought proper, it can be sent to the Judiciary c.-m --mittee. After they bave passed upon these bill-*, why thav should be sent to the Committee on- Cor pora* hvis .is more than I can see. It affects the emigration of Chinese. It aft. the Chinese as moe! i as it does the corporations, and why not send It to the Committee on Chinese, and after the; I have reported on it then it can he sent to the Jnli I ciary Committee. They are as capable of passing ou reference to tiieC.m mittee ■o i Chinese, the ayes md noes wera de* manded by .Messrs.

Mr. DißßiTt— Mr. Speaker, I hereby give notice that 1 will at an early day introduce mi amendment bt the standing rules of the House in reference to the reading "i bills on three several days, protesting ■gainst the action of the House against net— Bg al length on tbe first and see-. days. The* object of this is to allow any one who wants to to go ii|>o:i the record. Kulcd out of order. Mr. Lr.ACti- -Mr. Speaker, I lute a motion to make upon this subject, First, I auk the privilege of reading ati extract from the Daily Hee. It is as fol lows: Ihc heated debates and lout; Winded dis putes now occupying the attct tion of the House are liable to occur at say moment, upon any other pro vision of the Constitution, the gist of the arguments in each case being, as in tbe debates on the reading of bills, to arrive at some conclusion as to the intent of the trainers of tbe Constitution. Tlie intent is, of course, the fundamental principles of all law, ami is I ii.l down as a maxim by Story in his work on Constitutions Jamison on Constit utions alio claims that* tl.e intentof a con stitutional provision cannot be thoroughly understood or correctly interpreted unless the de bates in convention for an I against the measure are known and understood. The debates in the Consti tutional Convention of this State are In existence, audit hey are consulted mith debate and lee* of time will be saved. When the intent of the framer.s of the Constitution is thoroughly understood from a reading of tbe debates, it will be found that the opiwsiti.iii in' the House on the triple reading proposition is correct in its premises.' Now, sir, 1 think the suggestion a good one. I am one of those who supported the report of the Judiciary Committee. But if it can be shown that the framers of the Constitution intended that a bill should be read at length three times I would feel it to be my duty to vote for. a reconsideration of the report of the Judiciary Committee. lam informed that Messrs. Willis k Stockton, phonographic re porters tii the Constitutional Convention, have the notes of the debates in full, and that they can and will furnish to this House a report of the debates upon this particular subject, that will show clearly and succinctly the intention of the framers of-thc Constitution. Therefore 1 move that Messrs. Willis k Stockton be requested to furnish to tbe Clerk of this House the debates of the Convention upon this subject, which tbe Clerk alt— I read fjr the informa tion of the members. Mr Tyler— Whatever may be said in regard to. this nutter, it lias been judicially determined ia several cases by the Supreme Courts of several States, that a Court had no authority or power to refer to the debates of a Constitutional Convention for the purpose of determining the meaning of. words used. It makes no difference what some— thinks the words mean. The men who gt tup then and discussed this matter in tbe Constitutional Con vention were no better able to determine the mean ing of these words than we ire. 1 ant pea— ctly win: _r|th:tt any gentleman should refer to the de bates. You will flnd the whole discussion, in the Kecorb-L'nion, in which Mr. Reynolds, thst. intro ducer, declared that it was not his intcnli.ss to put any such construe ion upon the clause. .Mr. Hardy As I understand the resolution, it is that the debates be produced and read.. We don"\ want all the debates brought in here. Mr. Mclxtosh I move to lay the resolstion on the table. Lest.*- Mr. Corcoran— l would suggest that if.any gen tleman desires information up.Hi this subject, that be himself, in his individual capacity, and at bis own expense, baa tbe privilege uf gettieg. the debates. We don't want to go to the exper.s* of four, five or six hundred dollars to decide a point of litis kind, which is already lain to mv mind, Mr. Max 1 have no doubt at all with reference to I this question. 1 am thorough. I.}1 satisfied with the decision of this House.rendered over and over again. And yet there are gentlemen bene who tb ck d.ffer eotly, and.tbey have a right to think differently, from the" majority of the House. And we should respect their opinions. And ai ace in their judgment it goes to tbe v«y essence of the value of a law that is passed here, I thiak we cannot well take leo much pains to disabuse their minds, if it is possible to do so. -Nov, if for tbe asking we can get from the reporters the debates upon this important matier, let us get thwi by all means, and let the pa ts hah affect this question be read.

Kicord-Umioh It has been said that "in a multitude of counselors there is safety." If the old proverb is exactly true in every instance, then Marysville seemingly has little to fear. Since the question as to whether or not she would commence an ac tion against the miners was first mooted, poor Marysville has been beset with' adviser*. They have talked to her at her own door step; they have talked to her from the neighboring yards and hutif-etopa dinning their advice into her ears at all time*, as stridulous-voiced as Cassandra, as strenuous and insistent as Then-it. •_--, always counseling "yet a little sleep, a little slumber;" like Thersitea, advising a little more complacency, a little further delay and when they could not get to talk with her they have written letters to her from abroad, one of which ap peared in your paper ot January 8, 1880, and many, of which have appeared in the San iTancisco Stock Report, notably one commu nication shortly after the decision of our Su preme Court in the Keyes case. i Marysville has been complacent too long too long has she been, content with bare promises, and too long apathetic as to her prospects and future. But if her thought* have been purposeless in the past, she ha* at length awakened to a realization of her danger; to a realization that if the ruinous plans of the miners are ever to be checked if the compact that Natqre has made with one of her strongest elements, aided by the miners' industry, to ruin her, is ever to be resisted and broken, it behooves her to be up and doing, and to be doing that she has to do right speedily. The miners would stipulate with us now, saying, We'll legislate." Does any one know what the Legislature will do Can any one answer that it will certainly do anything that will benefit us or the farmers, or tend to effectually remedy this great evil (sic), or avert the great calamity that certainly awaits us if a remedy is not had Can the promises of the miners be relied upon now with any greater certainty that they will be kept than heretofore Heretofore the miner has always pleaded for time, time," and time, time has been given him, and time, time," coupled with his enterprise, has wrought us all our sorrow. Is this last promise to legislate anything more than another demand for time, time And if legislation is sought, will the miner's gold be less effectual than other gold has been to procure partisan legislation and ineffectual enactments? I -jt"--. r,wl Since the city's action against the miner* was first spoken of a great number of critics have sprung vp fruit of the dragon's teeth all equally ready to pick a flaw or carp at a mistake, and all unanimous that a mistake was made; first, in not accepting the money of fered by the miners to prevent the commence ment of an action against them I second, in commencing an action against the miners at all and, third (in view of the fact that the miners promise that legislation shall be had), in not dismissing the action that has been commenced. Inquiry discloses that nearly all of these self constituted advisers are interested in some way or another in mining property. The proper criticism, therefore, to be passed upon their advice in the premises, is obvious an old lawyer would characterize every such advice as Janus in legibus. To be sure, some of those who advised that the city accept the money offered by the miners, ad vised in good faith. Their good faith is not questioned, but we think that all such adviser* have had the good taste not to make an op portunity of every stump, rostrum and mar ket place, and place where there were hearers that would hear, to lament the city's policy on the one band, and extol the miner's mag nanimity, or munificence as you please the other. We rather effect to believe that all having a common interest in the city's welfare now heartily interested to see the city successful in its action and (let ting bygones be bygones), taking an active, hopeful and helpful part therein. It is true that there is nn desire npon the part of the citizens of Marysville to stop hy draulic mmmg we have no quarrels with the miners simply fcr their vocation's sake but we do insist that the miner, in getting bis -gold, shall not destroy us We know that it is an excellent thing fur brethren to dwell together in unity," and we feel that interest Republka ut sit finis lit til in that our inter- -1.-. M well as- those of the State at large, would be best subserved by a speedy settle ment of this question. Yet so long as our happiness, our prosperity, our veiy lives are at stake, depending upon the .discontinuance of the miners' industry, so long shall we be at war with that industry; so long, and as lung as there is a Conrt to go to, shall we de mand at the bar of public justice the right which the miners deny to us the right to exist.

In order to settle the matter definitely, a resolution was adopted by ths House calling on Willis k Stock ton for a transcript of the debates in the Constitu tional Convention upon that subject. THE DEBRIS QUESTION. A correspondent at Marysville writes to us on the debris question, intimating that Marysville has no recource but to fight the matter out to the end, and expressing doubts as to the ability of the Legislature to afford any relief to the farmers. We can only reply to this as we have already replied to another corresponds— that nothing done in or by the Legislature can interfere with or restrict the right of ,the farmers to seek redress in the Courts. Their legal rights remain to them in any event. The Legislature can only propose or set in motion practical remedies for the evil. Our hope and desire is that this great and menacing evil may be removed by some comprehensive plan of relief and reclamation, and we have sought to exhibit the advantages of such a course because we wished to enlist the interest and aid of the whole State, and thus to facilitate the solution of the prob lem in the most economical way. Hut no matter what is done in this direction, the farmers still have the privilege of proceed ing by suit in the Courts. They might, no doubt, agree with the miners upon a sort of armistice while remedial propositions were pending, but nothing compels them to do anything of the kind. If Marysville wants to tight it out she cannot be pre vented from so doing, and the question is of course one which the people of that city must decide for themselves. Meanwhile, however, it is none the less in order to seek and pursue some radical scheme of relief, to include all parts of the State requiring the application of any remedies. AMERICAN SHIP-BUILDING. Congressman Ellis has introduced a bill to revive AuTerican ship-building by subsi dizing a couple of score of mail routes on the ocean. This is like strapping up a man's leg and then giving him a wooden limb to walk on. It would be much simpler and better to unstrap his fettered leg. The paralysis of American ship building has resulted from the tariff, the preposterous navigation laws adopted by Congress. Having throttled the indus try in this way it is now proposed to bring it to life again by practicing artificial respi ration. The corpse is to be galvanized by* subsidies, which means that after Congress has made it impossible to build American ships at a profit under. the natural laws of supply and demand, the American people generally are to be taxed to enable American ships to be built at a profit under unnatural conditions.- This is more pro tectiou to native industry," with- a ven geance. If Congress really wishes to see the American ship- building trade revived it can secure that end b*, repealing the laws which forbid Americans to build ships, and which have thrown the Ameri can carrying trade so largely into foreign bottoms. That, however, being a plain and straightforward plan, Congress is not at all likely to adopt, and as the pro- posal for subsidies 'will at once enlist the support of all who can benefit from such bounties, the Ellis proposition is likely to find plenty of backing. THE Rate.— Oil and after January 1. ISSO, the subscription price of the Weekly Union will be $2 per annum, or $1 25 for six months. These rates trill be invariable. No agent ivill be allowed to charge more,' and no traveling tolicitor will be permitted to take less. At >-2 mer annum the Weekly Union is by far the cheapest paper published on litis cnatti "Great Credit."— T. c New Year's number of the Sacramento Record- Umon is a great credit to its proprietors, contain ing as it does an annual review of the trade of Sacramento, a foreign an.i domestic re view, besides its full collection of iirus and able editorials. It is a quadruple sheet,' and "also contains an original story. It is just the paper to send to friends in: the East.— f San Juan Independent. Oakland public schools are overcrowded ANTI-CHINESE LEGISLATION. An ambition has been developed among certain' members of the Legislature to^iri troduce anti-Chinese j bills, ff -N Aurally enough this disposition is manifested most strongly by members of the San Francisco delegation in the Assembly: The charac ter and scope of many of the bills which have been brought forward in this connec tion are cot such as to jnstify the expecta tion that any- practical results will flow from the energy of their framers. In a majority of instances these latter do not appear to have realised the existence of any constitutional barriers to the most sweeping measures of proscription. They have in fact proceeded as though the ques tion of the expulsion of the Chinese from the State was ene altogether within the jurisdiction of the Legislature of Califor nia, and as though the Federal Government bad nothing to say in the premises. When we examine these bills, and see the amazing propositions they embody, we arj not surprised that the supporters of them should wish to keep them out of the hands of the Judiciary -Committee, for it is -clear that if that committee once gets possession of them it will be com pelled to report emphatically against their adoption. A great deal t.f time is being wasted in the preparation and advocacy of measures which are utterly impracticable, and it is therefore proper to warn anti- Chinese enthusiasts tliat they are beating the air. If any of these members are act ing simply to tickle the more ignorant aiming their constituents, it is also in order to inform the latter tbat no State legisla tion against the Chinese which con diets with the -provisions of -the Bur lingame" Treaty can be worth the paper it is printed on. That treaty accords to the Chinese in the United States all the rights and privileges which the American (iovernmeat concedes to the most favored nation. All attempts, therefore, to discriminate against the Chinese,' to put them at a special disadvantage in any way, to treat them less liberally than any other foreigners, must be invalid and of no effect. All the attempts to prevent them from doing business, to impose discriminating license taxes upon them, to single them out for hostile legislation, are futile. The Legislature does not possess the power to override one hair's breadth a United States treaty, and the sooner this is clearly and fully understood, the sooner will members abandon impracticable ideas, and turn their attention to matters within their jurisdic tion. There is another point of view from which this subject may be regarded. At this moment our Senators and Representa tives in Congress are making strenuous efforts to procure the enactment of a law which will meet the requirements of the case. Congress alone has the power to deal with the Chinese question, but Con gress has not hitherto been willing to do anything about it, because the belief has until recently prevailed at the East that the outcry against the Chinese was merely the expression of demagogues, and did not represent public opinion on j the Pacific Coast. The only considerations which have been at all forcibly presented at Washington, moreover, have been com mercial ones; and they are calculated to hinder any restrictive legislation. How ever unjust and irrational Californians may consider the attitude of the rest of the country on this question, it is neces sary to realize that we are powerless to help ourselves, and that we must convert Congress by argument if we are to do it at all. For these reasons it is particularly desirable that there should be at the pres ent time as little manifestation of intem perate and prescriptive tendencies as possi ble in this State. The only effect of fruit less attempts to legislate against the Chi nese as though they were wild beasts, will be to prejudice Congress against the meas ures which our delegation are now urging, and for the first time with some prospect of success. The display of Sand Lot tactics was never more inopportune than now, in short, and we put it to the authors of rabid anti-Chinese bills whether it is more desirable to tickle the Sand Lots, or to secure practical legislation against the Chinese. The first named object can doubtless be obtained by urging worth less measures. The second can only be gained by eschewing demagogism, and justifying Congress in the belief that the people of California are intelligent and law-abiding. Those who really wish for the departure of the Chinese can have no sympathy with the wild and extravagant propositions which have been cropping up so thickly of late, and sensible people gen erally must be moved to apprehend un promising legislation in regard toother and more important subjects, if they see that tie opening of the session iB characterized by measures for which there _____ no possible excuse save that of such an ignorance of the relations between the State and the Union as must disqualify the victims for intelligent judgment upon any matters of consequence. STATE PRISON DIRECTORS. Governor Perkins has appointed, and the Senate has confirmed, Messrs. W. T. McXutt of San Francisco, Wallace Ever son of Alameda, Jacob Neff of Placer, A. C. Chapman of Butte, and A. P. Whit ney of Sonoma,. to be State Prison Di rectors. We trust that these gentlemen will begin their administration wisely and well. If they are to do so they must unite iv the selection of a fit man for the vitally important office of Warden.- There is no justification for the appointment to that position of any man who is not specially fitted for the work. To take a citizen who has no training in prison ad ministration would be as culpable and ir rational as to fill tbe office of S Superin tendent of an insane asylum with a mere politician. The State. Prison oi California has hitherto been shamefully neglected. The State has not. done its duty towards its criminals. II has retained in their management barbar j isiss whiclj disgrace «__ community pretend ing to be civilized. The absence of all system at* the State Prison, and the preva !l. nee there of notorious sal flagrant abuses, are alike attributable to the fatal practice of making the prison one of the spoils of partisan warfare. Reform has foi years been demanded, but until now it has been practically _ unattainable. We have no di übt that great pressure will Ik brought upon the Directors to make tiu-b. continue the eld methods of appointment, for the greed of office-set is utterly conscienceless, and no public spirit tempers its brutal eeitishoesa. But the new Board must realize that almost everythh?s de pends upon the kind of beginning the?* make, and that their duty to the public requires them to make such a beginning tint a reformed" prison administration will become possible. And there is only one way by which they can secure firm basis for reform. It is, by obtaining the ser vices of an educated penologist as Warden. In a recent article we showed that ho^diffi cclty need be feared in this connection, for that Colonel Pilsbury, himself one of the most experienced and successful prison -»«__P t l __ ltf I ll •1_ 1 ~S*wr t t. I ixtt x. i superintendents in the country, had prom ised to furnish a thoroughly efficient officer, trained under his own eyes, whenever called upon and we -also showed' that it might even be possible to put success be yond all doubt, by securing Colonel Pils bniy himself for the position. -*-~""-'*-?:*?"r Thus we have pointed out the way in which the new. administration can be placed upon a foundation of practical utility, and by which the success of reform measures can be virtually guaranteed. We do not believe that reform will be reached by any other means, and •it would be un reasonable to look* for it if an untrained and inexperienced Warden is appointed. In this matter we are convinced that partisan considerations can have no legitimate place. The Directors have but two courses before them. They .must resolve to administer the State Prison from a scientific and en lightened standpoint or they must sacrifice the public interests, ignore the duties owed by the State to her criminals, and for the sake of stopping the mouths of some greedy office-hunters permit the old shameful state of things to be continued indefinitely. They havo placed upon them a very grave responsibility, and We earnestly trust that they will" recognize and perform their duty. Let them bear in mind that mere intelligence, mere capacity for police administration, mere' integrity, cannot qualify any applicant for the office of Warden. What is needed is special training in the science of penology, and no other qualifications can compensate for the absence of that indispensable pre-reqnisite. ■We do not believe that any man in the State to-day is fitted for the competent discharge of the duties of the position. Theoretical acquaintance with plans of prison reform is not enough there must be the familiarity which comes from prac tical experiment alone. It is impos sible that the Directors can do so well as by accepting the offer of Colonel Pilsbury to furnish the State one of his own officers, unless they could persuade him to come and take charge of the State Prison in per son. An opportunity is now afforded to break out of the old ruts, and to begin a new and civilized era in penal admiuistration. If a false precedent is set, however, it is to be feared that it will be very difficult here after to introduce the needed reforms. The t honor and reputation of the Republican party are concerned in this question, and failure would be discreditable and damag ing. We therefore hope that the Directors will make no mistake in their selection of a Warden, but that they will give the peo ple an earnest, in that appointment, of radical reforms to follow. 'fl' SAND-LOT MANNERS IN THE LEGIS LATURE. Assemblyman Braunhart has thus far shown himself to be far fonder of talking than the matter of his discourse could pos sibly warrant. Assemblyman Maybell has manifested the same inclination and trie same disability. In the debate on the Chaplaincy the latter made a speech which was remarkable for its coarseness. Yester day the former chose to insult the Presi dent of the United States by referring to him as His Fraudulency." These mem bers, and all who pattern after them, will do well to realize that they are not now on the Sand Lots, and that the manners and practices of the Sand Lots are out of place in the State Legislature. People who cannot distinguish between a manly independence m and flippant bru tality are to be sure unfortunate, but even they may perhaps learn to perceive the impracticability of advancing their inter ests among intelligent persons by the use of such methods. The manners of the' Sand Lots are not civilized or dignified or estimable manners, and the only possible consequence of practicing them in the halls of legislation can be to reduce those who commit such a solecism to* the position of ciphers. For self-respecting and civil ized men will never allow themselves to be controlled by su^h as seem to be equally deficient in self-respect and civilization. NEWS TAILINGS. From News Mines of the Pacific Slope. Leadville has only twenty policemen. Dillon, the Bodie man shot by Travis, is still alive. Much sickness among the little people at Tuscarora. Mammoth City has a library in the Tem ple of Folly. Coal oil has been found at Pueblo also, artesian water. Nevada has now 139 insane patients un der the care of Langdon Clark, at Stock ton. Their bill for December amounted to over 54.200. For the first eleven months of 1879 the insane cost the State within a few dollars of §50,000. If there is added last month's bill, we tind the total oxpensc for 1879 to be about §55,000. P. S. Traver, one of the Commissioners of Esmeralda county, Nev., was shot dead at Candelara, Tuesday, January sth, by a prospector named Mike Owens. Owens bought goods at Traver's store and was tendered a chock as change which Owens refused, and thus brought on a quairel in which Owens challenged Traver to fight, and immediately after pulled his six-shooter and tired at Traver, who was standing near the end of the counter not more than a dozen feet away. The ball took effect over Traver's right eye, passing into the brain. He fell forward near the stove, and when picked up a few minutes afterward by his triends, was dead. Owens fled. The Nevada City Transcript of the 10th says: A strip of country nearly half a mile wide, lying between L. Dulac's ranch and this city, was visited by a peculiar storm yesterday morning at about 8 o'clock. Mingled with the snow and raiu that fell, were myriads of strange-looking worms. They came down by the millions, covering the snow so completely that one could not walk within the infested district and avoid treading them. Mr. Dulac captured a large number of the visitors, and brought several of them to the Trait script oltice in a bottle. The specimens on our table vary in length from 'one to two inches, and about a sixteenth of an inch in diameter. They are iv color nearly white, and their bodies are transparent. Several worm sharps have been consulted, but none of them were able to recognize any .miliar feature in these slimy, inoffen sive-looking immigrants. The l Free Press yesterday morning had an account of a woman known as Mrs?. Martin being- struck on the bead with a 1 stick of wool, opposite the Esmeralda Brewery, about midnight. Her skull was. fractured, and it whs stated that {-he could not live. The identity of tie criminal was shrouded in mystery. Officer Macstretti undertook to ferret the matter out, and His efforts proved successful, j Certain circum stances led him to gusset a man named Juan Brnseli, whom he arrested at the Es- j rneralda Brewery. This man confessed to having paid Nick Meadows, a Swede. 85 to give the woman a beating. Maestretti then wer.t after the Swede, and this evening suc ceeded in arresting him at his cabin on the street in the rear of tie Comstock saloon. The officer, with some outside assistance, £roke open the cabin door, and. while gaz ing into the muzzle of «_. revolver, Mea.lo"" a made a confession, which differed /rom that of Brusell, in this re spect Th.* 1 ha had been paid ?5 by the latter to kill Mrs. Martin.

Tie number present was ample for the dancing halls, indeed, one of them was crowded. The company assembled jvas brilliant in costum ery, and it is within bounds to say that it was, for elegance of dressing and richness of attire, me of the most brilliant assemblages which has record in the history of the Capital City. There was constant comment and deserved upon the fact that for the display of' youthful beauty, the hall has not had a superior here. It was noticeable thpt the costuming of the ladies in the great majority of cases favored the high-necked dress, and that fewer dresses were cut low than is usual at full-dress balls. Nearly ever county in the State was represented by both ladies and gentlemen. A roll-call of State officials, of the Senate and Assembly, and of the leading business men of the city, would have had almost a full response. The names of the gentlemen would, indeed, present a formida ble list to the reader, and embrace many leading citizens of San Francisco, Marysville, Stockton, Oakland, San Jose, Vallejo, Chico, and other prominent places, besides Sacra mento. The State of Nevada was represented by both ladiesand gentlemen. Oneofthe most striking features of the hall was the simplicity of the surroundings there being apparently an effort to furnish what would be entirely acceptable in the way.. if music, supper and service, without an extravagant display in either of these departments. Theie was no outlay for decoration, no elaborate supper, and no superfluous number of employes, yet satisfaction was given on all sides, and the committees of management have to congratu late themselves upon a well-managed, ele gant, tasteful and entirely successful inaugu ral ball. THE COLLATION Was furnished by W. F. Peterson of this city and laid in the rotunda. At 11 o'clock it was annour.ctd as ready for th.' guests, and that it would b; ready, at all timi a until the close of the ball. The collation was cold, with hot tea and coffee. The tables presented a choice selection of meats, game, fowl, etc.; fruits, confections, cakes, breads, salads. -ii..! mixed dishes, in variety, with sev eral very handsome standards of confection, two of which were miniature towers, sur mounted by handsome allegorical figures, representing Justice ai-d Liberty. In the Senate Chamber the music was furnished by Church, Jones ft Beebe's full band, of Sacramento, and was highly spoken I of and entirely acceptable to the dancers. Ballenberg k Andres' full band, from San Francisco, furnished the music in the Assem bly Chamber, which was excellent. Roth bands during intermission rendered some fine selections of concert music, which wat among the least interesting of which is a report that Acting Governor Lamson will to-day endeavor to have General Chamberlain arrested i y the militia forces for his action in disregarding the protest of the former previous to the assembling of tho Re publican Legislature last evening. SITUATION AT THE CAPITOL— SURPRISED FU SIONISTS. Auocsta, January 13lh. The House reassembled to-day. The night at the Capitol passed very quietly. A full guard is on. The only thing irregu lar this morning was when G W. Martin attempted to pass the guard, in deli nice of the police regula tions, and was summarily handled by the police. The Fusionists are very reticent about expressing an opinion of the events of last night. They were somewhat surprised, and stre entirely unwilling to converse upon the subject. REFUSAL TO APPEAR. Wallace i!. White, whose card of denial of bribery lias been published, has been summoned before the Bribery Committee, but he refused to appear. The following is his card To Henry Ingalls, Chairman Investigating Com mittee: I have received your summons to appear before your committee charged with the investiga tion of the all* ged bribery of T. B. Swan and Moses Harriman. 1 decline to appear, fur the reason that you are not competent to send for persons and pa pers, and not competent to administer a legal oath,. The witnesses hi fore you could swear to anything without incurring the hazard of a prosecution fur perjury. It Swan and Harriman had secured a bribe they would naturally swear falsely about it, and if they merely put up a Job they would be still more likely to swear falsely. When I meet them I want it to be before a tribunal that has power to enforce its decree 9 and to administer punishment. Your House of Hepresentatives is illegally organ ized, or nut organized at all, and if you have any doubt on that point. I shall he glad to have you ar rest me for contempt, and then hare tl.e authority of your process tested bra writ of habeas corpus before the Supreme Judicial Court' If I am not sustained by that tribunal I shall cneerfully appear before your committee. WALLACE WHII E." SCHEME ABANDONED. Auoi'STA, January 13th.— The reported scheme of electing the Stale otlicers and Governor have appa rently been abandoned, both parties seeming willing to await the decision of the Supreme Court before proceeding further. Lamson, who claims to be the acting Go' error, has as yet performed no official act that at all interferes with the prerogatives of General Chamberlain. The House took a recess until 2 o'clock p. m.

PRELIMINARY EX AM INATION. The People vs. David B=veridge and" Jo .-.J; seppe Dematti.- The examination in the case of the State vs. David Beveridge and Joseppe Dematti, was resumed at 10 A. _. yesterday at the Justice's Court-room oa Seventh street, to which place it was transferred Irom the room of the County Court. A large number of witnesses and spectators were present, and considerable interest was manifested in the case. -.vi c The examination ot Robert Fincher was resumed. He testified that on Thursday, the 27th of November, Kelsey Hobday called on him, and* stated that be had learned from Charles Hallen (who was I the man subse quently murdered) thaj a number of witness' sheep had been disposed of by Beveridge to a butcher, and he arranged with Hobday for an interview with Hallen at his cabin on that day, and they went to Hallen's cabin at 4 o'clock, in order that :il A KILL STATEMENT Might be obtained. Hobday then asked Hal len if he knew whether he had any of witness' sheep. [Objection being here made the lan guage of deceased was ruled out.] But on the information thus obtained witness after ward made search. On the 28th of Novem ber witness went to Monncii's residence, where Beveiid,'e resided, and went. to the barn and found among some pelts one with his brand on it, and "on this the brand was so dim he could not tell definitely. He then went to Monnch's house and asked if Bever idge had fold any of witness' sheep to the butcher. Afterwards Beveridge came out, and witness asked him if he had brought down from the mountains any of his sheep i with his (Beveridge's), and Beveridge replied I that he had not, to his knowledge, but there was a stray lamb in the band. Muuuch and witness then went to the barn and examined the pelts, and agreed that one was from a sheep belonging to witness. EELSEY HOBDAY J Was next called, and testified that he had been in the employ of Mounch for some I six years, up to Monday preceding the murder, at which time he had a slight disagreement with Mounch's wife and he quit working there and went to the residence of _ George N. Makee. He testified that deceased had inti mated to him that Beveridge had sold some of- Fincher's _fheep, and that deceased stated that fact to Fincher. He then described, with much particularity, his whereabouts from the time he was at Hallen's cibin, two days before the murder, until the day subse quent. This testimony was to meet the course of examination on the part of defend ants' attorney, which sought to point to this witness as the party who had actually com mitted the crime, instead of the defendants. Witness first heard of the murder at Clay Station, but learned it was one of *-Mounch's herders. He returned to Makee's the same evening and went to the cabin where Mounch's herders stayed and asked if they had any news, and Joe Dematti said, "Nothing; all right." A young man by name of Beard spoke and said there was bad news, when Dematti remarked that Hallen had been found dead with A HOLE IN THE BACK OF HIS HEAD. Witness next morning went to Hallen's cabin in company with George Makee, and after wards, on same day was there at Coroner's inquest and signed the verdict as one of the jurors, although he .was not sworn, and did not know that he was considered as a juror, and only signed because he supposed they wanted his signature as corroborating that the facts it contained were correct. When witness first went to the cabin on Sunday morning Hallen was lying on his bunk, as he was fir-t found; was lying on his right side with a blanket over him up to h .s shoulders, and with one foot out, on which there was a stocking. His head was lying towards the wall in the corner. I saw blood on the pillow and some on the side rail of the bed. I don't think the blood could have run from where his- head lay to the edge of the bed where it was on the rail. It looked as if it had been smirched there. He saw some blood also on the wall in front of deceased's head and level with it, and also there was BLOOD ON THE FLOOR Under the bunk. He described the position of the bunk on which deceased lay, as in the southwest corner of the cabin, with another bunk immediately above it. One end of the bunk was immediately in the corner, and the other within a short distance of the window. The foot was at the window. The cabin was 12 by Hi feet, and contained two bunks and another bed in another part of the room, a table and a stove. In the position the de ceased lay witness could not see the wound in the head without moving the clothing, which he did not feel at lilierty to do until after the inquest. He afterwards saw that looking in through the window from the out aide he could see about half way up the bed where the deceased lay. He saw no cords about the cabin. He heard some one pro pose at the inquest to burn everything up they found there, but could not say who it waa. Nothing was burned. GEO ROE N. MAKEE Was next called. Resides about 2_( miles from the cabin of deceased Hobday and Fincher came to his house on Wednesday pre ceding the murder, and Hobday remained there that night and several succeeding nights he corroborated Hobday's statement as to his whereabouts all the time, from the day he (Hobday) was at Hallen'a cabin and had the interview until after the homicide said that he remained at hra house every night, and was with him on Saturday morn ing until he went to Clay Station, where the news of the murder was first known to Hob day he went with Hobday Sunday to the scene of the homicide, immediately after breakfast they met Beveridge at the corral near the cabin, and went to the cabin to gether he described the app j ara-ct-s within the cabin similarly as that given by Hobday the face of deceased was lying some four or five inches from the wall, near the corner and facing towards the wall he tried to see the bullet-hole in the head of deceased, but could not. without moving the clothing. THE BODY WAS COVERED With a quilt, except the head and lower part of one leg. His description of the marks of blood were the same as those already given, with the addition lhat the pool underneath the bed had run out upon the floor and under some empty barley sacks which lay upon the floor. He slid he examined to find marks of burning from p iwder, but could see none. He had a talk with Beveridge on that occa sion, who stated that on Friday morning he started out to Hallen's cabin for the purpose of bringing ii the sheep to be flipped, or something of that kind that he found the door locked and the dogs fastened in the cabin, and supposed Hallen had gone for the sheep and locked the dogs uo so they would 1 not run among the sheep. He then went after the sheep and found them on Mr. Taverner'a ranch. He drove the sheep to the corral, where he arrive.! after dark, and after having secured the fl .ck went to the cabin, and find ing it still locked and the dogs inside, took a pick and BROKE OPEN THE TOOK By drawing the staple. He then' went in, but finding no matches, Went to the. bunk to I see if the blank, were there, and put his hand upon the edges of the. bed, but did not feel to see if any one was there. Finding the blanketa were not one, , sir; they don do that down 1 there. He testified that he di not sleep in j the same house ks Hobday, but saw him there in evenings and again fas the mornings. .y TH s. TAVEKKB Next testified. He was at tba Coroner's in quest on Sunday and one of the jury.: Tie jury and witnesses were sworn." He was not' in the cabin all the time, but tbe evidence was read over to him sfterwaids by the Cor- j oner, sad be signed it witb the rest. The examination was then adjourned until 10 a. M. to-day. There are a large number of witnesses still to be examined, and the strong efforts of the defendant's counsel to take part in the prose c ition, by seeking to direct the crime upon Hobday, one of the people's witnesses, tends to greatly mci ease the interest in the case, and to divert from the testimony of the prose cution.',' v." QUIET OR DEATH. i A faring Burglary— Robbery of County Clerk Berkey. The assembling of the Legislature seems to have been a time selected for all the bunko sharps, confidence operators and midnight thieves of the country to rally round the Cap ital City in search of the unwary visitors who are here, and as a natural consequence the number of robberies and petty burglaries of late have been on a rapid increase. The bold est case which has yet 'come to light, how- ever, and one which for deliberate coolness* has never been surpassed, was the burglary yesterday morning of the rooms of COUNTY CLERK T. H. BERKET, Who resides at the house of his father-in-law, 'i on the northwest corner of H and Ninth streets. Just as the clock showed the time to be 12:20 Mr. Bei key was awakened by a noise: near his bed-room door, and by the light which t was kept burning he saw pro truded through the half-open door the body of a man, and, what was more formidable, «i menacing revolver in close proximity to the victim's head. He was directed to keep still, or he would be killed. If he had any doubts about doing so they were quickly dispelled by the cautious advent of a second pistol, with a man attached. Both of the men wore hand kerchiefs over the upper part of the face. Mrs. Berkey was awakened at this time, but was persuaded to keep quiet by her husband, who saw that nothing was to be gained by re sistance. g '_ Yf Z'-ffJ, i- A CLEAN SWEBP. f- While the man at the door" kept his blun derbuss affectionately near, and uttered re peated warnings, the other man coolly took from the bureau all the jewelry in sight, in cluding a lady's necklace, $85 set of lady's amethyst jewelry, set of onyx jewelry, two .diamond rings, pair of jet bracelets, bib-pin, pair of blue enameled eai rings, one turquoise earring, child's diamond ring, one cameo, one plain gold and one pearl ring,' several orna mental pins, silver match-safe, etc., amount ing in value to about $700. After filling; his pockets with the booty, he swooped down upon the clothes of Mr. Berkey, first taking out the gold shirt-studs, and then, one by one, the contents of the pockets were trans ferred; a watch and chain valued at $300 was taken," and also* S'2oo in coin, $100 of which had been received for tickets to the in augural ball, and also the key* to the safe iv the office. They also possessed themselves of the cigars in the vest pocket. While this tiresome operation was in progress, Mr. Berkey enlivened it by ioculary remarking in regard to a box of cachues," that is a box of pills, every body takes them and they did take them, with a remark about his cool ness. Not a single article was left in his pockets except a newspaper clipping contain ing an article headed, Bob Ingersolljon In temperance," a significant hint that they were not in sympathy with the views of ir reverent Robert. THE RETREAT. On finishing their work they left the room, closing the door after them, and running down stairs and out the front door in hot haste. As soon as they were gone Mr. Berkey secured his pistol and raising- the window called lustily for police. His wife, whose nervous system was greatly shocked, fell fainting on the floor. As soon as her wants could be attended to, he dressed him self and hurried down the street in the direc- tion taken by the burglars until he reached the corner of Seventh and I, where he found a police whistle and summoned officers to his assistance. .No traces, however,' of the thieves could be obtained. The house waj entered through the parlor, by raising the window that opened on the veranda. The front door was then opened from the inside, and prob ably left in charge of another person.

I was so that I could not walk. Also had a terrible swelling in the leg, and I was .cured by the VEGETINE. Before taking VEGETINE I was restless, and could not sleep.

Friend Grose In reply to your inquiry as to the merits of.the VEGETINE, which, from your repre- sentation I was induced to use in my family, I will simply state that for years my daughter has been badly afflicted with Canker in the Stomach, render- ing her life merely an existence. I could find no remedy that would meet her case, until at your, sug- gestion I tried the VEGETINE. This, to my great surprise, has proved efficacious, and I may say re- markably so, as she is now in the enjoyment of rude health. If my testimonial is of any value to the proprietor, I can cheerfully and conscientiously recommend it in cases of thia kind, as I have given it a thorough trial. I remain, yours truly, GEORGE It.

THE DAILY RECORD™^' 1»11>M,..A1 JAMABT 14. ISSO STORM IN OREGON. r Most Disastrous Hurricane Ever Known in that State. A NEVER-TO-BE-FORGOTTEN SCENE Houses Unroofed, Trees Prostrated and Fences Blown Down. THE FRI3HTFUL VELOCITY OF THE WIND. Immense Damage to Property and Some Loss of Life. (SPECIAL BT THI.SORAHI TO liSt MCOSD-FXION.] Portland (Or.), Januiry 13th.— most violent storm of wind which has i ted this region since its occupation by white men occurred on Friday, tho 9th instant, between the hours of 11 A. a. and 2:30 r. raging with the greatest force at about 2 o'clock. Not even among the traditions of the native Indian inhabitants of the country is there a record of a tempest ao wild and furious in its ar_rpe t, or so DISASTROUS AND TERRIBLE In its results. The morniug was unusually mild for the season till near 10 o'clock, when a breeze sprang up from the southeast. It soon became a gale, and at 11 o'clock increased to a storm, sweeping in a gen eral direct comse, but exhibiting whirls and eddies similar to the irregular movements of impetuous torrents of water. In half an hoar the greater part of the male pop ulation of the city were on the streets, busily en gaged in the work of protecting property, and view ing with fearful anxiety the terrors of the mad scene. By 12 o'clock the wind had reached a velocity of about fifty miles an boar, with occasional spurts at the extraordinary rate of sixty aides. X The scene at tbis time and for the succeeding two hours I w*b terrible, The creaking of signs and buildings, the crash of falling awnings, the rum bling of tin roofs, the whistling chimes of the .elec tric wires, and above all, and louder than all, tbe fierce RAGE AND ROAR OP THB TORNADO, United in a fearful and terrifying chorus. Men hur ried hither and thither, eager, uncertain and fear ful. Women, with white, scared faces, peered from the windows of their homes, dreading to remain, yet knowing not where to fly for safety. Lit'le chil dren from the schools, which were soon dismissed, ran homeward with frightened haste. Horses snorted in helpless fear, aud even the dogs were af fected with the universal terror. The Signal Office reports that the wind increased from an ordinary velocity of four or five miles per hour, to the rate of thirty-nine miles per hour n. less than fifteen minutes. Its direction at the com mencement of the storm was from the southeast, but later it veered aud came with less force directly from the south. But little rain accompanied tbe storm, though black and darkening clouds rolled overherhead during its entire progress. I THE DAMAGE TO PROPERTY In this city will not fall short of #75,000. During tho gale the steeple of tlie First Presbyterian Church was prostrated, seven small houses were blown down, many roofs of large biick buildings were ripped off by the violence of the gale, including the roof of lhe Court-house and a part ot the Hew Market Theater. A number of roofs of smaller buildings and dwelling-houses wero torn off. Hun dreds of signs were detached from their fastenings and carried away, and many awnings prostrated. The Willamette river was rougher than ever known before, but fortunately little damage resulted to boats and shipping. There were but few buildings in the city which entirely escaped the fury of the storm, either in the way of smashed windows or damaged corni ca. INJURED AND KILLED.": "v' While the gale was at its hight Bremen Hall, a large two-story wooden building, was prostrated. Four men were caught under the ruins. Two es caped with but slight injuries, the third (Jack O'Donnell) sustained very severe wounds, and the fourth (Harry P. Hinrich) was instantly killed by falling timbers. I M MM** An alarm of fire was sounded while tbe gale was at its bight, which added to the general terror of the scene. However, the alarm proved false. A man named David Wortoo, in Kast Portland, was struck with a piece of loose timber on the head and very seriously injured. In East Portland the new Catholic Church was prostrated and reduced to a complete wreck. A number of buildings in the same plac i were pros trated or unroofed. UP THE VALLEY. Reports from various points up the valley indi cate that the storm ha? raged with great violence. Intelligence from various points from Roseburg to many miles north of the Columbia river, and be tween the Cascade Mountains and tbe Pacific Ocean, state in each instance that its force was unprece dented. The collection of news has been greatly embar rassed and delayed by the prostration of the tel egraph lines leading from this city, and the impas sable million of the railroads and highways, aud many localities are not represented because commu nication of any kind is simply impossible. Washington, Yamhill and Polk counties, on the west side of the Willamette, arc the only localities, where the tempest probably raged fiercely, which have not yet reported. The result there, in a gen eral view, is probably similar to the effect on the cast side. It is not possible to o lunate accurately or fairly tho value of the property destroyed, but it will cer tainly be great. The damage to fences and the de atruction of crchards and forests will appear as the mo3t important items, however, while the obstruc tion of roads will, in many localities, for a time stagnate bus— and cause a toss not go apparent, but no less real. Owing to fallen timber and the damage to railroad bridges tho trains on the Oregon Central Railroad have been delayed for several days. The same is the .-.is. with the Western Oregon Railroad. The storm has played sad havoc with the timber in many parts of ihe valley. Millions of trees have gone dwi. before the fierce blast. UNIVERSAL HAVOC. Later reports from the interior state that the storm ha- done much damage in the prostration of fences and barns. The telegraph Hues in every di rection have been prostrated. Some of the lines of the Oregon Steam Navigation Company between here and the Dalles were buried under a mass of fallen timber so deep that new lines will have to be constructed. >T*f"'7 £i* 'fi News from up the Columbia states tbat the storm raged with varying violence East of the Cascade Mountains. At Umatilla much daui.igc was done. The gale attained for a short time the velocity of eighty miles per hour. A number of houses were blown down. Reports from various sections of Eastern Oregon and Washington are not received. It is believed that the sturm did not rage with tbe same general fury as in Westo/rn -Oregon. The Dalles escaped with ifttle damage. i So far as known there has been but little loss of life from the storm. Great numbers of cattle arc reported killed from falling barns and trees. The wind storm did not visit the western part of Washing on Territory as violently as other sections. Very little damage is reported from there. Owing to the heavy snow and —ides on the Northern Pacific Railroad, trains have been delayed tor the past three days, but through connections were made to-day. Two men named Mason aud Kandlc are reported to have frozen to death Saturday night near Young Station, on the Northern Pacific Railroad. The bodies of both men were founJ near the track. OUTSIDE TIIK STATE. At La Center, W.T., a large tree was blown, almost a school-house, demolishing it. Twenty children were in the building at the time. A son and daughter of '..tin Uartlftl were ins'autly killed, an! another daughter dangerously injured. Three oilier children wore slightly injured. The steamer Elder had a rough passage up, but crossed the bau and w— i safely anchored ton miles up the river when the gale commenced. The river steamer Dixie Thompson, caught by the storm, lost her rudder and was tossed about for an hour twelve miles above Astoria. She was rescued Jiy the Elder without much damage. No damage to shipping at Astoria. At Vancouver considerable damage is reported. Several houses at the Garrison were prostrated, but DO lives we c lost. Much damage waa done at Salem. A portion of the roof of the State House was torn up also the Academy of the Sacred He ft. As the wind storm was followed by heavy rain an 1 snow, these build ings sustained peal damage, from l.akage,

VIOLENCE Otf THE STOKH. On Friday the barometer was the lowest (28 ESS) at 1:20 r. m; at 1:30 r. a., 21.553. The lowest the barometer had raced in Portland since the Signal Service offioe was established until this storm was 29055. ■_" _. r X SAN FRANCISCO STOCK SALES. San Francisco, January 13, 1880.
