The Hog Law.

We are beSieged with rejoinders to Assembly
man Lavrence's Hog Law letter, published last
week, and all TO the effect that such a law is in
full fore in Trnity county. We never gave the
matter moments thought last week, supposing
that Mr.. Lawrence could not be otherwise than
correct or the letters received, we publish only
the one written by eX-Assemlhyman Bates, as it
covers the whole ground:
MINERsvHIE, F b. Is, 1890,
EDITOR Journal In reply to the letter pub
lished in tke SotRNAI, of to-day, over the signa-
ture OF the present Assemblyman, | would simply
refer the citizens of this county 10 page l7G, Of
the Statutes of 1859. If the gentleman had ex
amined that volume, he might have seen that the
act was approved April Sih, 1859. Further, had
he any great regard for truth, he would not have
stated the floor of the House on the 7lb of
HIis montb. that claimed merit for voting to
remove the Capital. never mentioned the sub
rect in convention, as every truthful delegate
present will avow.
In conclusion, would advise the people of
Trinity county 10 keep their hogs on their own
premises, unless the aforementioned bonora
bic gentl, man will be responsible for what may
happen should they be allowed TO "roam where
they list.' f. BATES,
Ex-Assemblyman, Trinity Co.
We looked at page 17G, of the Statutes Of so,
and Jottnd tie Lar, which reads:
''An Act concerning hogs found running at
large in the counties Of Marin, Sacramento, San
Francisco. Alam' da, Stanslaus, Yuba and Santa
Clara, approved April 2lst, 1885, is hereby egeaded
10, and made q1piicqJie to the countieS Of Ir"Hy,
Sono'no, Monf,tey a"d Soidno.'
The clause ih italics will account for the " sew
'ral amendments" referred to in the letter of
Assembly yman Lawrence, the law being separately
amended to iuclude the three last counties.
The original law will be found on page 229,
Statutes of 1856.

CoNGnEss.-That august asscmblage Of wisdom
and high authority have been in session eighty
days, trying to organize and go to work. The
Senate has succeeded in doing so, but the last
eastern intelligence is that the House so far has
been unable TO elect "a Speaker. Between the
ballots for that officer, members employ the time
in talking about Harpcr's Ferry and John Brown,
expressing their views Of Helpers fool book and
in disgraceful and foolish conduct, generally.
Some rabid ones assert that they will never CON
rent TO be ruled by Black Republican Speaker,
and that they will 1T once DE- clale war if one be
chosen. The poor fellows desrrye sympathy.

is the fear they have Of the Fever and Aguc--the
most direful Of all diseases. Every day wn hear
Of persons attacked by this disease and made

fording relief. In view of the great demand for a
remedy, Dr. EosTRTTER has presented his cele-
brated "Bitters." whose curative powers for all
diseases of the stomach have been universally
acknowledged. The "Bitters,' prepared after q
long experience and deep study, have received the
