News Boys.-Several newsboys were ar
rested yesterday, in pursuance, it is pre-
sumed, Of the resolution lately introduced
into the Council by Alderman Griggs and
passed, directing the City Marshal to en-
force section II of the license ordinance,
which, it is claimed, prohibits the itinerant
vending Of newspapers without a license -
The Recorder, perceivng policeman on the
way to the Station House, with o small
newsboy in one hand, and one paper, (his
only stock in trade,) in the other, ordered
the release of the prisoner, and subsequent
ly visited the Station House and gave orders
those in custody should be discharged. and
all others as they should be brought in He
very properly remarked, that he would not
have his Court disgraced by such cases
The prosecution of this puny war against
the Rewsboys is very much like " digging
small potatoes, few in n heap" especially
when an ordinance positively granting them
she privilege of selling papers freely, with
out license, has been overlooked in the
eodifcatiOn of the ordinances Sac. Union.
We strongly suspect that Mr.. Alderman
Griggs had the advancement Of his own bu-
siness Chat OF newspaper selling) in view
when he introduced that contemplate skin
flint ordinance into tbs Sacramento Council
II newsboy tax is considered necessary t,
the support of the government Of that city
they will doubtless find it advisable 10 lsEl
a similar tax on boot blacks, washerwonei
and peanut venders. The Recorder aete,
like sensible man and discreet officer il
the action he took in the matter.

TuE STATE CAPIToL.-Mr. Nougues has
filed bond for the fulhlment Of his contract
to build the capitol, and some of the papers
are finding deal Of fault with it. The
american expresses the opinion that it is
''of no earthly account" and yet it says
that the bondsmen are each worth more
than the amount set opposite their names
If men are worth the amount they become
responsible for. the bond they sgn ought
certainly to be good if drawn up with any
degree Of care. We hope some definite con-
clusiOn may be arrived a; speedily. We have
been without capitol too long already, and
1t is time we had one built

ness should receive the attention of our citi-
zens at once as it has never been attended to
before A true standard will thus be estab-
lished and an opportunity for fraud or mis-
takes be avoided.
