LEGISLATIVE. proceedings of
the Legislature have not been of much
interest the past week. From Saturday
until Wednesday the House was not in
session. On that day as we learn from
the Union, it resolved itself into Com
mittee of the Whole to consider the pro-
posed amendment to the Revenue Law,
introduced by Mr.. Young, the author of
the report on the Controller recommen-
dation to increase the State taxes for the
next year. The amendment proposes a
reduction of the tax to fifty cents ON
each S100, instead of sixty as at present.
The bill was amended so as to order the
tax of 1859 to be levied ON the first of
May, and then passed. 1t is pity that
one feature of Mr.. Kirkpatrick's new
Revenue Bill cannot be grated upon
the present law We allude to the plan
of dividing the counties into revenue
districts, and having assessments and
collections made by local officers. This,
as we have before said, would insure
complete collection of the revenue, and
particularly of the poll tax and foreign
miners license, now imperfectly gath
ered.,
A bill has been introduced into the
Senate proposing to make highway rob-
berry a acapital ofense It is to be hoped
that no such relapse into barbarism as
the passage of this bill would be, will
be tolerated in the Legislature.
Assemblyman Catalan of this county,
gave notice of a bill to separate the
Office of County Recorder, County Audi
tor, Clerk of the Board of Supervisors
and of the Board of Equalization, from
the Office of County Clerk in the county
of Nevada.

CHERoKEE.-The pupils of the Cher
okee District School, under the direction
of their accomplished teacher, Mrs.
Spoor, will give an entertainment on
Wednesday evening next, March I'd, at
the school house. The programme Sc
lected for the occasion embraces songs,
recitations, dialogues and an amusing
dramatic trife. Two original addresses
have been prepared, one of which. will
be delivered at the opening and one at
the closing of the exhibition. These
school exhibitions are delightful things
to witness, and apart from the fact that
the money realized from them is appro-
priated in aid of education, are very
useful and laudable Some of Mrs.
Spoor's pupils have heretofore distin-
guished themselves by their very clever
manner of reading and declaiming, one
of them IN particular proving herself
the star at the late county exhibition.
There ought to be good attendance of
San Juaners, and doubtless will be if the
weather is not unfavorable The tickets
are only fifty cents, and may be obtained
at every locality in the township.

the active resumption OF mining opera
tions. In some localities on the ridge
deep snow prevents labor; in others, the
ground is frozen; and where neither of
these obstacles exists the fierce storms
have deferred men from working. Ow-
ing to these circumstances not many
yields can be reported for the last week.
On the advent of spring there will be
more companies washing on San Juan
Hill than ever before, and their weekly
gold cleanings will reach very high
aggregate. The Bloomer Company, un-
der the excitement of rich dirt, have
been washing through all the bad wealth
er, and on Saturday last took UP the sum
of $500. This, for seven and a half
days washing with only one hundred
inches of water, is nearly twice as good
as was ever done on this hill before. The
Deadman Company once cleaned up
about 81 500 from eleven days run, u.s.
ing double the quantity Of water en-
ployed by the Bloomer Company.
We learn that $4,000 was realized
from single clean up at Buckeye Hill
recently, and that a two-third interest
in a set of claims in the same locality,
belonging to Evans & Co., was sold for
$4,000. The diggings at Buckeye are
noted for their richness, and such reports
as these would be more frequent but for
the modesty of the owners. Some of
the bottom cement is unusually rich, but
owing to its hardness much Of it rolls
away unwashed, to enrich the tail-sluices
below.
From Sweetland we hear that the
Buck and Breck claims lately yielded
$1,000.
The McKeeby claims at Junction Bluff,
which have been proftably worked for
several years, still contain dirt which is
plentifully sprinkled with gold. A spec
linen of blue cement from these claims,
now in this Office, amply warrants our
assertion.
A friend writing from Cherokee fayors
us with the following particulars:
But little, of interest, is at present
transpiring at Cherokee. The water,
which has commenced running in guam
titles nearly equal to the demand, has
been almost entirely stopped again by
the recent heavy fall of snow, which lies
from three to five feet deep ON Grizzly
Canyon and Bloody Run. During the
storm, two reservoirs were broken. The
injury, from the breaking of Brophy's s
was the most serious to the Company
owning it, as they had been washing
several days, and were preparing to
clean up at the time of the breakage
A portion of their boxes were carried
away. The ground washed was rich,
and the loss must have been quite heavy.
Two companies below them were slight
ly injured.
The crevasse in the Grizzly reservoir
was more serious, completely filing up
Logan Il Goodmark' s diggings, on Shady
Greek, with logs, boulders and sediment,
delaying their work for several weeks,
at the most profitable season of the year,
in addition to necessitating the heavy
expense of clearing out, and placing the
diggings again in working condition.
Before reaching Wilder& Co.'S diggings,
the flood had spread SO as to do compar-
atively little damage.
East from here, on the Ridge, the
miners are all idle waiting impatiently
| for rain or warm weather.

his last annual message, the propriety of
passing joint resolution proposing to
our sister States the plan of an appropri-
alton by each, towards the completion of
the Washington monument, which work
was commenced at the national Capital
several years since, but for three years
has not been advanced for want. of funds.
The Senate has acted upon this sugges--
tion by passing a bill appropriating s10,-
600, at 81 900 per annum, towards the
completion of the monument. This
action will doubtless be initiated by other
States. The monument ought to be
either formally abandoned or promptly
finished. 1t is a reproach to the nation
to have it remain in its present condition.
STATE REFORM ScHooL.-The Sac
ramento Union publishes a copy of
bill which has been introduced into the
Senate by Mr.. ketcham, providing for
the establishment of State Reform
School for the employment of juvenile
offenders, and appropriating the rather
meager sum of $4,000 to defray the
cost of erecting the necessary buildings.
The Governor is authorized to appoint
a Board of three Commissioners, whose
duty it is made to carry out the objects of
the law by procuring site and for the
erection of buildings, and preparing a
mature system for the management of
said school. We are glad to perceive
that general supervisory authority is
given to the Governor, who has proved
by his assiduous and humane attention to
State Prison reform his peculiar fitness
for such duty. The act requires that
the school shall be in successful operation
by the commencement of the next ses-
sion of the Legislature. This is legis-
lation to some purpose. 1t is gratifying
to see the State at last preparing to do
something for the prevention of crime,
which ought to be the principal aim of
wise government.

ATTEMPT AT RoBBERY.-The most
of our readers are so well informed in
regard to the attack upon the Forest City
train last Sunday afternoon, that we shall
give but very brief account of it.
The train was accompanied by Mr.
VIM. Rice, the proprietor, and two pas
sengers, Campbell and Nichols, the lat
ter of whom had $4,000 in corn on one
of the mules which was driven ahead
When about mile and half beyond
Celestial Valley Nichols observed man
concealed behind tree, told Rice Of it,
rushed forward to the mule laden with
his money, and turned the animal back
down the hill at a very rapid gait. By
this time three robbers had presented
themselves, and there was a general fir
ing. Mr. Rice thinks there were twen-
ty-fve or thirty shots, the villains hay
ing some six or eight revolvers in their
possession. The first shot was aimed at
Nichols, who returned it with eight balls
from his derringer, which brought his
opponent to his knees for moment.
Nichols then drew his revolver, fired
several shots, and was fired at, until, his
mule being shot dead, he started back
after the one with the money The
highwaymen advanced to Rice and
Campbell, the latter being unarmed, =
tied them, robbed Rice of $50, and then
made off, The bound men managed to
get loose, and found Nichols and his
money at Celestial Valley, when the
whole party returned to San Juan. The
robbers appear to have started from
this town with horses obtained from
Smiths STABLE ,and this fact will propbab-
ly lead to their detection. On Monday
two horses were left at Brady's ranch,
below the Empire ranch, and two others
stolen in their place. Mr.. Smith went
down to learn if they were not his ami
mails, and finding that they were brought
them back. The two villains fed in the
direction of Shasta. The one who was
wounded went to Nevada, and we learned
by telegraph that he had been discovered
and arrested on Wednesday. The three
are said to be well known in this county,
and their names are given as John
Brouilette, Jas. Archie, and Victor Bow
ley. The last mentioned is the wounded
man, and it was thought his wounds
were mortal, but we are told he is injured
only in the arm.

PEACEFUL TINES the principle
that ''no news at all is good news" this
village is now enjoying its best days
because its quietest ones. The constant
drip, drip on the roofs, the clouded sky,
the moaning wind, and-worse than all
the deep muddiness of the streets,
inspire everybody with melancholy,
which quality being very gentle, produ-
ces a monotonous quiet. One day of
sunshine cheated us into the belief that
spring time and heaven were near at
hand; but the gloomy storm-season re-
turned on the morrow, and another
week of rain, and snow, and darkness
renews the "winter of our discomfort"

DEEP SNow-The mountains lying to
the north are thickly covered with snow.
At Arnold's Ranch it lies thirty inches
deep; at the dollhouse five feet The
towns in Sierra county are almost sWal-
lowed up in snow. At Forest City it
was over eight feet deep, but Mr.. Rice
has continued to bring his express train
through every day. We have had no
communication with Downieville for a
week past. Destructive avalanches are
reported to have occurred in that vicin-
ity, causing loss of life and property
Monte Christie must be completely hid
from view. There has not been so much
snow in the mountains for several years.
