most common understanding to form q
correctopinion. 1t admits of but one
construction-le letter and spirit have but
one tendency 1t emphatically denies
the power Of the Legislature TO create
"anv debt or debts" above the sum of
S300,000, except the act appropriating z
it be first submitted to the people. This
prohibition is not clothing in ambiguous
syntax--it is positive and potential
Your Committee, therefore, are of
opinion that the Legislature has not the
power delegated to pass law apprOpria-
ting the amount of money contemplated
in the State Prison contract The con-
stitution is, in itself, sufficient to declare
null and void the action of tho Com
missloners without even taking into con-
sideration the testimony elected, that n
limitation in the expenditure was actu-
ally Incorporated in one oe the sections
OF the statute
The conclusion arrived at by the re-
port is
"Your Committee are Of opinion that a
substantial Prison Building should be
erected, to secure the prisoners now in
the hands OF the contractors. They un-
stand thai the contrac tors have in their
charge about 200 of the most des-
perate men in the State, an they there
fore recommend that an appropriation
be made for the work and its immediate
commencement. AS the amount Of mon
ey that will be appropriated will fall
short of completing work that will be
required in this State, we advise the
construction Of strong coils, we'll built,
to correspond with a suitable plan, so
that by an extension or by additional
Improvements made from time to time,
they harmonic with the adopted plan.

NEVADA ENGRAVING. We leara from
Mr Ogilby, the artist, that he has com
pletcd this great work, ready for delive-
ry to the engraver lie is delayed in
doing this by want Of peeuniary encour-
agemcnt from our citizens. But about
500 out of cost Of S400 is now subacris-
ed. We trust our citizens will not let
this admirable work fall to the ground
for lack of the interest it deserves.
DCe- Since the above was written we
received from Mr. Ogilby beautiful
plate of Grass Valley. 1t is superior in
accuracy, tone and finish, and bespeaks
the finished artist.

STAGING.-Now that settled weather
is upon us, we presume the rates Of fare
en- the Sacramento line, that now oper-
ate as great check on travel, will be
reduced, either by the voluntary act of
the proprietors, or by opposition. 1t is
not right to charge cxhorbitant rates be-
caase there is but one line. The public
perhaps are not aware that the road by
Marysvillc to Sacramento or San Fran
cisco is cheaper, and certainly pleasant
er, rs there are but forty miles of stage
travel on that to eighty on the other
"a saving of forty miles of land travel in
the obnoxious dusts and heat of summer.
We believe q saving Of three dollars is
made by the Marysviile route on the
distance to San Francisco Alarysville
is attracting much attention among our
business men, and our Marysviile cotem-
poraries can help this result by stating
these advantages OF their stage line, and
bring the travel over less difficult
route. The people Of the state are too
little acquainted with Nevada county,
and will be while they have such Sa-
hara Of eighty miles to cross as on the
Sacramento route and at the prices Of
1850.
