THE New York Erening Post after saying many
severe things in regard to Congress, was swerVeu
from its intense devotion to President Johnson
works and ways, by his speech of February 23d'
1t says:
'For the shocking and unseemly lmputa'ion
Mr.. Johnson chose to bring against MessrS'
Stevens Sumner and others opposed to his poi
icy that their intention was to inclte assasSlh'-
tion,' we trust that he will make haste TO ap-
pologize, not NEARLY to them, but to the country
which he has most grievously insulted: Such
words as he uttered on that head would not be
tolerated in the hastiest stump speech. Ihey
are too ill-judgcd and impulsive for us to think
OF write patiently about them and we count 1t
no slight misfortune for the nation that its chief
magistrate should have spoken in this style.

Dog Law.
The following Act has been approved by the
Governor, and Is already in force

1.-THE following Act has been approved by the
Governor, and is already in force
The Pple Of STATE of Culrnia, represented in Snae
and assembly, do enact as -toiL0ps:
SECTION Livery owner claimant or keeper
of dog or dogs, of the age of four months or
over, shall hereafter pay annual tax on all does
owned claimed or kept by him or her, for the
first male dog, dollar for every additIonal
male dog, two dollars and for every female do9'
three dollars.
SEC 2-It shall be the duty of the County,
District, or Township Assessors, as the case may
be, at the time of making their annual assess
ment of real estate and personal property, to as
certain by diligent inquiry and examination, the
names of all persons owning, claiming, or keep
ing any dog or dogs, and they shall assess all
such dogs in the amounts respectively, as pro-
vided in the first section of this Act, to the per-
son owning, claiming, or keeping the same, and
shall make lists and delivery thereof on their an
nual tax lists or assessment rolls, at the same
time and in the same manner as their lists and
delivery of other personal property are made and
delivered and the proper officers are hereby en-
powered and required to collect such tax on dogs
in the same mode and manner as other taxes are
collected, and to pay the same over into the
County School Fund.
SEC. 3.-Every dog kept or staying at any
house, shall be deemed sufficient evidence of
ownership to authorize the Assessor to return the
person inhabiting the house as the owner of the
dog and any person sending his or her dog from
house to house, or from place to place, in order
TO evade said tax, shall pay double rates there
for and every dog not returned shall be deem
ed to have owner and may be lawfully killed
by any person seeing the same run at large.
SEC. 4.-The owner or owners Of any dog gor dogs
which shall worry, wound, or kill any sheep
Cashmere Angora goat, shall be liable to the
owner possessor of such sheep, goat or goats,
for the damages and costs of suits, to be recov-
cred before any Court having jurisdiction in the
case.
SEC. 5.-Any person finding any dog or dogs,
not on the premises ofits owner, worrying wound
ing, or killing any sheep, Cashmere, or Angora
goats, may kill the same and the owner thereof
shall sustain no action for damages against any
person so killing any dog or dogs under such
circumstances.
We would call the attention of citizens to
important fact in connection with this law
In the performance of his duties the Assessor
will consider dogs as moraJle property, and re-
qure the assessment to be paid the spot, as in
case of all other property which may be remov-
ed or destroyed before the annual visit of the
Tax Collector Bear this in mind.
