on Wednesday, containing a full catalogue
of the various kinds of grub, drinkabes and

served up on the occasion of the dinner that
Mons. Paddy O'Dillon, the distinguished
broth of a boy from Tipperary or some other
city in La Belle Ireland, and sundry other
prominent frog eaters Of San Francisco, pro-
vided foI themselves on Tuesday afternoon
Great quantities of provender were consum-
style of French cookery, and wines were
drunk and speeches made, all in the latest
stereotyped fashion. The grand functiona-
ry was toasted, and that modest individual
replied with an extemporaneous speech
which he had doubtless rehearsed to his con-
fdential friends every day for week previ
Gus, and further " eloquent, feeling, and
appropriate speeches were uttered by the
regular club of dinner orators and pLofes.

"most delightful social re- eunion," and "as

1t is announced that the State
officers have declined to issue state
scrip on the contract for the erection
of the state Capitol, since the recent
decision of the supreme Court. If
they adhere to the determination to
issue no more scrip until the question
has been submitted to the people, it
will have the effect to render the ap-
preaching session of the Legislature
a short one, as, according to the es-
innate, there will be but about 5000
900 in the Treasury to meet the cur
rent expenses, and when that shall
have been exhausted, that body will
be likely to adjourn.

Topics of the DaV,

The license which custom has
long granted to lawyers, permits them
to practice many little arts, which
would send any person but practi-
sing attorney to labor for Gen. Estell
at point San Quinten for a term oe
years. Of course, there are many
in the profession who would not stoop
to such practices. But the clas 5
known more particularly as criminal
lawyers, are as great pest to COM
munity as the thieves and rg.scals
whom their sharp practices permit
to prey upon community despite the
efforts of law and the honest mem
bers eff society. There is, something
wrong about the custom which sus-
tains and upholds lawyer in defen-
ding known thieves and rascals. In
speaking upon this subject Bay
paper says: There is at the present
time, to be found about the City Hall,
a class Of lawyers who will, for mon
ey, defend known thieves when ar
rested and charged with crime
When the offence is proved upon their
client, and perhaps a portion Of the
stolen money found upon their per
son, they retain, as their fee, money
which they know can only be another
portion of the same fund, and which
is either paid them by the thief him
self, Or some accomplice, Or the per-
son with whom the rest of the money
he had was deposited. Now, if the
old law maxim, that ''the receiver of
stolen goods is as bad as the thief, "
be true, in what do such lawyers diff
fer in culpability from other receiv-
ers Of stolen goods? And why sho'd
they not be regarded as such in the
eye of the law?
In view of the necessity for re-
form in this matter, we should like to
know what injustice would be done
by law which would cause all money
or other valuable effects, found in
possession of q person convicted of
stealing, to be taken charge ofby the
court, to be devoted to the payment
of costs of court, &C., and to the re-
endorsement of the person who suf-
fered by the theft.
