PASSED THE SENATE. Judge Lewis
swindling road bill passed the Senate on
Tuesday. The Sacramento papers do not
give the vote on the ubject.. An animated
and interesting debate transpired previous
Ito its passage, in which Mr.. MCGEE doubt
less played the part assigned him by Judge
Lewis. The bill was opposed by Mr. McCol-

would thank those geutlemn in behalf of the
citizens of Butte county, for their opposi-
ton to it. Did our space permit, we would
gladly publish the entire debate as it is,
we can only find room for the several
lengthy and able efforts of Mr.. McGee, on
the occasion as follows;
n ''Mr McGee moved to suspend the rules
and take up the bill now"
4 After recovering from the tremendous ef
Fort, he annihlatcd Senator Mallory thus |,
''Mr. McGee GDterrupting)-I rise TO a
point of order. The Senator is speaking
upon the general merits of the bill, which is
not in order upon q motion to amend the
title"
The point of order was we'll taken, as the
bill has no general merits"
He thus used up Senator McMullin.
"Mr. Niece said he thought it entirely
unnecessary to reply to the argument ad-
-. vanced by the Senator from Ell Dorado"
, The following was Senator McGees great
effort however, which exhibits deep research,
and great geographical knowledge. He an
initiates Senator Dosh
"Mr. McGee said he lived within twenty
five miles of Honey Lake He was well sat
shed it belonged to Plumas county, and was
sorry to find the Senator from Shasta not
better posted up with regard to the geogra-
ply Of the country"
We learn from q resident of Honey Lake
Valley, that the entire Lake and Valley is

tains, and as natural consequence, is be-
yond the eastern limits of the State Mr..
