Chileno seized John aud threw him down
on the floor, whereupon he drew a revolver
and discharged it, inhicting a severe wound
on the face of the Chileno, somewhat to hi
Disagreement. as it is said to have broken
the left cheek-bone and otherwise badly
tearing the flesh of his face. The perpe-

SUNDAY LAw.-Mr. Fiske. from this
county. introduced in the Senate. on the
lth INST. an ''act to provide for the better
observance of the day known as the Chris
tian Sabbath the first section of which is
as follows:
See. |. That if any person Of the aee of
fourteen years and upwards. shall lie found
on the first day of the week. commonly
called Sunday, sporting, riotinr. quarrel
ing. hunting. fishing, shooting. or at any
common labor. or at any of the ordinary bu-
sine>s pursuits Of life, works of necessity
and charity eXcepted) he or she shall be
fined i'll sum not exceeding ten dollars. nor
less than five dollars, for each and every Of
fense, with costs Of suit; procided that no
thing herein contained shall be construed
to extend To those who conscientiousIy do
observe the seventh day Of the week as the
Sabbath. nor to prevent families that are
emigrating. from travelling, watermen from
landing their passengers. superntendentS.
or keepers OF toll-bridgcs and roads. canal
or ditch superintendent, from attending to,
or experimenting, the same, persons EN-
ployed III the transportation of the United
States mails, ierrymen from conveying pas
sengerS over the waters, hotel-kcepers, or
persons removing with their families from
one part Of the State TO another.
We understand this to be intended as
general law for the State. and with most OF
lis provisions we heartily concur; but think
the penalty for violation altogether too
small. If it is intended as a revenue law
for the benefit of common schools, it will
answer for that purpose, if enforced; but if
it is intended to close up places of business
on the Sabbath. we think it will be wholly
imperative. There are some business es-
Establishments in almost every town in the
State, that could well afford TO pay the pal
try sum prescribed, and would gladly do it,
to the detrimcnt of the smaller tradesman
who could not afford it. In its application
to the larger class of saloons and drinking
houses. it would also be a nullity; for with
many the penalty would be but a small con-
sideration. Before the bill becomes law.
We hope it will be amended so as to increase
the penalty for each additional violation, if
not to enlarge the fine for the first offence.
We want a law to etfcctually secure the
observance of the Sabbath, not one that
would soon become dead letter from the
laxity Of its provisions.

counted within millions of dollars; that ev-
ery interest that is Important to us as q
people is deeply involved in their various
| iahors in humane treatment Of them, and
in prudent and equitable legislation on mat
ters affecting them"
Had we room, we should like to make
more copious extracts. for there is much of
interest embraced in the book, which con-
tains more real information on the subject
than would be likely to be obtained without
much research. We consider the question
one of great Importance to the country. of
very difficult solution, and about which there
is much diversity of opinion; but so far as
we are able to judge, a large preponderance
are disposed to regard the present law as
very inimical to the welfare of the mining
counties, and think it should be substituted
by one Of more liberal provisions.
While the newspaper discussions on the
subject have been going on, we have never
given any expression of opinion, for the
very good reason that we have not been
placed in position to note The working of
the present law directly upon the Chinese,
as there are very few engaged in mining in
this immediate vicinity. We do not now
intend to venture an unqualified opinion
but submit the subjoined further extract
as perhaps embracing the true policy:
The number allowed to immigrate TO
this country should not be too great. We
may not be prepared to afford them useful
employment, They may come in excess,
and not settle down and assimilate to our
institutions and wants.
at is therefore the preference of many
judicious men, and not unreasonable. to al
low for the present the law which fixes
capitatiOn tax to remain. provided it is so
administered as not to interfere with com
merce, and the passage to and fro Of those
engaged in regular business, And iued-
ment can only indicate future duty from
observation Of It's results, or in compliance
with the future wants ard desires of our
own people.
"The amount of license required from
miners deserves consideration. The amount
fixed by the present law is oppressive. Few
are possessed of good claims. 1t beggars
them. 1t drives them to the mountains
and thickets like wild beasts. 1t fills them
with hunger, sickness and despair. 1t turns
them, what their honorable character with
our trading population in the country shows
is not necessary, into cheats and liars. 1t
will in time fill our prisons. And makes
them loathe and hate US as people, and
our name. our country, our government and
the Christian religion, which they under
stand we profess. If put to the former
standard of four dollars per month, the sum
affords a handsome State and County rev.
enue. and they appear willing to pay it
If put lower, as some have proposed. there
is danger of new legislation, in two or three
years, to increase it again
We believe bill is now before the Sen
ate, the passage Of which has been recon-
mended by majority of the committee on
mines and mining interests. embracing in a
measure the suggestions Of the author, and
which is likely to become law.

Dull IIMEs.-lt is now two years since
this country was blessed with what might
be truly termed an adequate supply of rain
and in every way commensurate with the
wants of the honest industrious miner
March is nearly half gone and the proba-
bility is, Judging from present indications,
that but little more rain will fall this sea-
son. The entire region where mining is
carried on is suffering immensely from the
lack of it. To be sure artificial water is
conducted by bitches from the higher noun
tain ranges into nearly every mining local
ity in the State, and more particularly this
part of it, which furnishes sufficient guam
ty of water nearly the year round for min
ing purposes. But this does not suffice
the rub is for tie mass of miners to obtain
claims that will justify them in purchasing
water. 1t is a well established fact that
there are those in every mining section who
labor day after day for their grub" and
ditch companies, while at the same time
could they have free use of water, would be
moderately compensated for their labor
Already has this glaring fact induced hun
dreds to leave old and rich mining localities
and go i'll quest Of new.
There is no denying it, so far as our OBJ
servation has extended, it is miserably dull
throughout the mines croakers have in
creased ali hundred fold within few weeks
past, and should this season close with Ht-
tie or no rain, we may expect to see pan
ic in monetary affairs doubly more banefui
in lis effects than that which ensued in con-
sequence of the failures Of Adams 4 Co
and other banking houses, and from which
