We Informed our readers last week, that bill
had been introduced into the Legislature, which
provides that Auctioneers shall be appointed by
the Governor, and making 1t his duty to appoint
as many as he shall deem necessary for the in
terests OF commerce. The bill has not vet pass
ed, and the California Caronicle has taken occa.
sion to recommend the following important
| amendment:
And be it further enactea--Section 10. The
Governor shall appoint many BARRIERS for the
several barber shops of this State as NAV be ne.
cessary for the benefit of cleanliness as provided
IN the previous sections of this act; each barber
so appointed shall be resident of the shop for
which he is appointed.
Sec IL. TO secure the faithful performance of
the duties OF the BARRIERS, who shall be appoint
ed III the same manner as the auctioneers they
shall execute bonds in the of two bits each

counts.

wig maker one per centum of the weight thus

pings from the head of his Excellency, or of the
State officers, of the Legislature, shall be pa id

or be manufactured into patent boards to appro-
priately decorate theatrical bandits.

under the following oah q l do solemnly swear
by the point of my scissors, the above return is
true TO hair, that have not shaved with dull
razor nor shampooed with bad SOAP and that
have not set up any opposition iii financial
shaving, but have left that exclusively 20 His
Excellency and the parties in power, and the
only severe cutting l have done, In cutting
the acquaintance of the law Makers
Sec l9. No person shall be permitted 10 shace
except those permitted by the Governor and
any person attempting to cut pull hair, or
meddle with hair III any respect. otherwise than
is prescribed In tins act, shall be liable to
have his razors and other tools confscated. and
his striped pole turned into coat OF arms for
the members of the Legislature.
Sec. 20. In any shop where there is no barber
to shave, the customer shall have power to call
the nearest pawnbroker or dealer in State prison
scrip most fitted for the operation.
This amendment embodies the spirit of the
Auctioneer Bill, applied to another class of la
borers. 1t is earnestly pressed upon the atten-
ton of the Legislature, who are assured that its
a1op,ion ia absOlute civ necessary tn th, success
of trade and the stability of our institutions. In
less this amendment be passed, it is feared that
the American Flag, which drew its design from
BARRIERS pole, will be shrouded in black like
moustached lip, and that the American Eagle
will be obliged to take dose of Glauber's salts.
