LEGIsLATuRE.-On Tuesday last Assembly bill
No. 24S, authorisipg the punishment of bcggars,
vagrants and dangerous and suspicious characters
was under consideration. The bill was discussed
and being in its nature well calculated for punish
ing Legislative delinquents the bill was very prop
erly defeated. Mr.. Douglass said:
''The bill included large and respectable class
of people in the State, viz: politicians. They were
the most industrious class of men in this State
(laughter.) They labored from morning to night
and from night to morning, in trying to get into
office; they were an indefatigable body Of men.
There was also another class of men included in
that BILL who went to the free lunches they inclu-
ded some of the most industrious men in the COM
munity.'
"Mr Jones proposed an amendment, to except
those parties from the operation of the bill who at
tributed their unfortunate position to the influence
of climate or the scarcity of money, and would be-
come members of the temperance society" Adop-
ted ..~.a
The Speaker then put the question upon the in
definite postponement of the BILL Ayes 36, noes IA.
Who will say now, that California has not got a
faithful set of law makers! The anti-gambling

VALUE OF GOLD DrsT.--Miners will be glad to
understand the correct value of their gold dust
nearly as possible without an assay. The average
fneness and value for 1854, at the U. S. Branch
Mint at San Francisco, may be considered a fair
criterion The average value per ounce of dust at
the Mint. has been S1S.43, and an average of II
cents per ounce of silver-making the total value
per ounce 1854.
According to the Era, the cost of coinage is 20
cents per ounce-deducting which, we have a net
per ounce of 1884. Qicksilvered !dust assays
higher, and is more valuable if well retorted than
other dust. Miners should, SO soon as they can
collect 10 ounces more send it to the mint, for
coinage on their own account. Gold dust of fair
quality should never be sold at less than $3.50
The mint is also safe place of deposit. Gold can
remain there as long any may desire, free of
charge.
