The CoNsTITUTIoNALITY OF A LAW TO BE
TEsTED.-A suit was instituted in the Fif
teenth District Court yesterday, which in
wolves in its decision the question of the con
stitutionaity of the law passed by the last
Congress, making the people of California
pay their income tax in gold, or its equiva-
lent by raising the amount of income re-
turned to greenback basis. The suit is
brought by the Pacific Insurance Company
against Frank Soule, Collector of Internal
Revenue. The plaintiffs aver that for the
first portion of the year the earnings of the
Company were SS5, ,2lS; of this amount S45, :
900 were distributed amongst the stock hold
ers, leaving balance Of $40, ,2lS on hand. -
The earnings for the month Of July we've
S74, 400. In making their returns to Il g
Revenue Asses sor, they returned the abO' e
figures; but the Assessor learning that Il e
earnings were in gold, raised the amount to
green back valuation, thus making the 49,.
2lS Sll6,737 in green backs, and the ST.
400, earned in July, Sl9l, ,929. The tax on
these sums amounted to 81 ,365 6S, which
the defendant, Mr.. Soule. compelled them
to pay. but which they did under protest,
and the suit is brought to recover the money
thus paid. The plaintiffs claim that the
Government having created green backs and
made them a legal tender for all debts, and
thereby recognized as the equivalent Of gold,
have no constitutional authority to enact
law making distinctiGns in California which
10 not apply to other States. Gull.

SCHOOL HOUSE NEEDED.-Of late our at
tention has been repeatedly called to the
miserable and inadequate school house ac-
commodations afforded in this town. The
present school house is certainly not a sulta-
BILE building for holding schools in, and the
accommodations for the comfort of teachers
and scholars are sadly deficient. The house
is badly located, and has no water, nor play
ground for children around it, and is general
ly inconvenient, shabby, and out of place. A
more suitable building situated in better
locality, and supplied with more convent
ences and accommodations should be procur-
ed before the commencement of another term
of our public school, and we call the special
attention of our Trustees and citizens to the
matter. Let US have school house that will
be credit rather than disgrace to the

CoMPARATIvE.-In point of the numbers
engaged and the rapidity of the movements,
the late battle of Sadowa was one of the
greatest, if not the greatest, ever fought in
Europe. Five hundred thousand men were
brought into direct collision with each other,
and fought ten hours, while the casualties
were at least twenty five thousand. This was
quick work. but in the proportion of losses
battles fought during our late rebellion. At
Sadowa the losses were in the proportion of
one to twenty-whilst in several of our
battles they were as one to five, and nearly
always reached as high as one to ten.

firm name of the "Standard Soap Com
pany," and one of the plaintiffs having in
vented preparation or compound for wash
ing purposes, and gave thereto the name
" Concentrated Erasice flashing P0,oder," "
the said compound was offered for sale in
packages of various sizes, marked with a
label adopted by the plaintiffs as trade
mark. BY reason of the excellency of the
article and the efforts of the plaintiffs to
place it before the public. it has acquired a
high reputation as such, and has command
ed, and still commands. an extensive SALE
The defendants, totally disregardng the
rights of the plaintiffs, have put up an arti-
Gle in imitation of the plaintiffs article,
which, with intent to defraud and deceive
the public, they have caused to be put up in
similar packages and labelled with similar
label. By reason of this fraud upon the
public, and disregard of the rights of the
plaintiffs, they have suffered great damage,
and pray the Court to grant them damages
in the sum of 5000, and an injunction re

gives the particulars of daring and mus.
cular exploit of lady worthy record and
a Henry rifle Mrs Sarah Donnelson, for
merly resident of Red Bluff, is living in a
log house on the trail with her children and
her father. A few days ago her father went
out hunting stock, and Mrs. d. was looking
after her poultry a short distance from the
house. Suddenly five Indians made their
appearance. Mrs. d. started for the house,
and was intercepted by two Indians. Throw.
ing them from her, third caught her by
the shoulder She knocked him down, and
reaching the house in safety barred the
door. The Indians rested one or more
rifles on the window, leveled at the woman,
who approached them, took down her ia
theirs rifle, and returned the fire of the In
dians through the appertures or . chinks
of the log house. On attempting to cock
her gun Mrs. d. found that the thumb of her
right hand had been shot away by an Indian
bullet. but using her left hand, she soon mad
the pleasure of knowing that her would be
murderers had retreated, whether with whole
hides or not she could not tell. Muscle,
courage and self f-possession won victory,

We challenge the State to exhibit an in
stance in Indian fighting, wherein a woman
has acquitted her elf more creditably. Red
