Nh ELLIS SPEEcH.-We publish
to-day, part Of Mr.. Ellis speech in
the Assembly, on the necessity of II
constitutional convention. 1t will be
remembered that the advocates of this
measure make use of two or three ar
guments; the only one having the
shadow of plausibility, being that Of
taxation. For an exposition of this
matter, we know of no better argu-
ments than those produced by Mr.. Ell
lis. Every man interested in the gen.
sral prosperity of the State, and par
ticularly those Of the Mountain coun-
ties, ought to read this extract. 1t
will be remembered thai a bill sub
mitting this matter has already passed
the Assembly, and there is a proba-
bility it will pass the Senate. We have
reason to believe that many who vo-
ted for that bill in the Assembly, ale
decidedly o. posed to the consumma-
,ion of the plan, but as it had already
cost the State an immense sum in the
way OF occupying much of the time of
the Assembly for weeks, and as they
believed it would be condemned by
tie popular vote, they concluded the
best tn y could do, would be to pass
the bill, and thus have it oui of the
way for the time being. We mention
this fact because the action of such
men as should compose a legislative
lative tody, is liable to influence, in
some degree, the action Of voters, who
take it for granted that some necessi-
ty exists for this entire chang, or it
would not thus have been provided for
We confidently believe there is no dc
ficiency in the constitution that can
not be remedied by the first provision
of that instrument, without incurring
either the enormous expense of a con-
stitutional convention, or the risk of
anarchy and confusion which might
result from the other mode of opera
ton

From the statements in the Sacra.
mento papers, we are led to believe
that the damage to that city is even
less than lad been anticipated. The
Tran script thinks the loss of part Of
the levee, the only damage worth ma
ming, and $4,000 judiciously expen-
ded will make that better than it was
originally. We are inclined to believe,
however. that the damage to buildings,
though not entirely ruined, is greater
than is now believed.

bill, we must say that great caution has
been exercised to prevent unworthy
persons from availing themselves Of its
benefits. And yet, it seems to US there
are impeIfections that might be materi.
ally amended.
The Sth section provides for publish
ing notice to the creditor tos meet
and show cause why the insolvent should
not be discharged from his debts. This
notice shall be published at least IL
times in paper printed in The county,
if there be one. previous to the meeting,
and that meeting shall be within 80
days Of the date of the order. If the
paper in the county be daily or tri-week.
ly, this will do; but if weekly or semi.
weekly, it cannot be done. This is GER
tainlyan oversight in the framer Of the
bill rather inexcusable.
The 36th provides that il any of the
creditors reside out OF the State, the
JUICE shall appoint an attorney whose
duty it shall be to receive the non resi-.
dents portion Of the proceeds of the in
solvents effects If by this, it Is design.
cd to take cognizance Of debts contrac-
ted or due in another State, our Legis-
lature has certainly assumed an author.
ity entirely beyond their jurisdiction,
as Congress alone has power to make
bankrupt laws Of general character
and no law passed in California can vi
tiats contract made in any other state.
There are numerous cases in which
great good would be effected by it
there are great numbers Of men who are
honest, energetic and persevering,-but
who by misfortune have become involv-
ed in such q manner ms to render it im-
possible for them ever to rise above the
crushing weight of their liabilities, and
who, on this account must ever remain
in abject poverty. merely because they
have not the opportunity to become the
owners Of the necessary means to pus
themselves in o way Cor accumulating
money. The costs of the suits, execu-
tions and sales, will, from time to time,
exhaust their limited means, without in
the slightest degree efecting or denim
ishing the principal, and thus forever
keep the unfortunate man in abject
poverty, without benefit to his creditor.
and yet the policy Of the measure is
doubtful, because past experience has
given US prsof that however strictly the
law may be guarded against frauds they
cannot be avoided, and instances will
come to the knowledge Of men, presen-
ting such base features as to disgust
even its most sanguine advocates, and
mark it MS an engine Of fraud, perjury
and swindling, almost intoleiablc to be
