"A INCIDENT IN THE LEGISLATURE, AND NE
srS1scEScE.-The Legislative correspondent OF
the Marysville Appeal writes under date March
3d While Leonards School bill was being
considered bv sections, wrangle on the tax
ouestion sprang up between Hager and Jones,
the latter of whom wished to have the state
school tax set at eight cents on the SlOO, when
Judge Hager thought altogether too hlgn (oha"
was winking to him to keep still, but the Judge
had his spectacles off and could MT see It, so ne
said that if the mines were taxed, the revenue at
five cents would be more than enough to pay all
EXPENSES of the department of education. Jones
said that if the property in San Francisco which
pays taxes on eighty million was made to pay on
four hundred Millions which is less than II
could be bought for, it would pay all the expen-
ses of the State. This sockdolager, and
before Hager could reply, Shaw apologized by
saying that his colleague was correct but very
indiscreet, which brought down the Senate. 1t
reminded me of game of poker once saw up
in Shasta Four fellows of my acquaintance sat
Crabbe Wharton, banker to the game, and
handed out white beans to the boys at the rate of
twenty to dollar, saying in his forensic style
q Gentlemen though we are all on the most ami
cable terms, yet this is a cash game strictly, and
any gentleman who is banking will be expected
to redeem his beans in cash on the spot About
half an hour afterwards Crabbe lost all his beans
and got up to leave when a gentleman in the
game reminded him of his stipulation saying
- Crabbe, didn't you say every man should re-
deem his beans in coin?' t'Well yes, George"

LET'S HAVE IT.-A San Francisco dispatch to
the Sacramento Bee says that efforts are being
made to have the L. S. Supreme Court pass on
the constitutonality of the Specific Contract
Law. We hope the Z" efforts y will be success
full, as we are anxions to know whether a State
Legislature has a right to nulify an Act of Con-
gress. The money-kings of California succeed
ed in destroying confidence in the National cur
rency from the date of its introduction, and two
California Legislatures have sustained them
On the principle that great and wise political
bodies are as liable to error as individuals, we
desire to hear the opinion of the highest legal
tribunal of the land. We are we'll satisfied that
a majority of the Union voters of Trinity county
would favor the repeal of the Specific Contract
Act if an opportunity was afforded tomorrow.

Referring to them the Sacramento correspondent

ground that the admission of members to either

Congress alone and not by the Executive, basing
tne argument upon that section of the National
constitution which vouchsafes to Congress the
right to judge of the election and qualification of

of assumed enthusiasm, but calm, conSiderate
weighing of expressions, a banker weighs the
profered gold, and satisfactory approval of
every sentiment that expressed true loyalty and
vigiant regard for liberty. Each seemed to
