THINGS Ar THE CAPITAL
THE "copE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE"

TIE "coDE OF CIVIL PRocEpURH."
We are greatly pleased to notice that
the Senate has finally ordered the report
Of the Civil Practice Act Commissioner
to be printed. Even if it be not accept
ed in whole or in part by this Legisla-
ture, it is eminently proper that the
compilation for which the State has eI-
pended So 5000, should at least see the
light Of typed forms, and so be placed
under the consideration of the Legisla-
ture and leading lawyers Of the State.
As only one hundred copies are to be
struck of, and as there are seventy-6ve
members Of the Legislature, each Of
whom will have one copy, and as there
will probably be . special reserve Of the
balance Of the hundred, there is small
show for US outsiders to see q copy Of
the Report. We would beg leave to re-
spectfully suggest that n copy, each,
be ordered forwarded to the eight pa
pers in this State, when the several sub
divisions are complete. The work is
said to be not merely a Civil Practice
Act, but . "Code Of Civil Procedure"
On yesterday, the Commissioner, ].
Medley johnson, was admitted to a seat
and hearing or the floor Of the Senate,
in regard to his Report. He presented
q general view of the result of his la
bors; and agreed to furnish top headings
to the Code, if desired. The printing
will amount to 200 pages, and cost
nearly So, o The work is to be laid,
in sections, as the printing advances,
upon the desks of Senators and As
semblymen; and so fast as the
Senate passed upon each n Of the
divisions the same will be transmittedito
the Assembly for their review. So
there is a fair prospect and probability
that the reported Code, more or less
amended by this Legislature, will re-
ceive due sanction emitting it to the
name Of Law. The State Printer, who
has had very little work to do this win
ter, is now pushed to the limit Of his
f.cilities-the expectation being that he
will finish the 'job" inside Of fourteen
days from date. II has been intimated
to rs that Senators intended to invite
several leading lawyers Of this county
to DO present and seated within the bar,
while the Code is being considered.
We don't believe that this is true.
Neither particular Senators nor "lead-
ing lawyers are to be held responsible
for tho intimation. 1t is probably an
unfounded rumor. Very likely, how
ever, pleading lawyers" will be sup
Piled with copies of the Code, and their
suggestions respectfully solicited and
duly advanced and reflected upon.
EDUCATION.
The Education Committees Of the two
Houses are holding several sessions eacn
day, Colonel Collins and Judge Adki.
son attending. Superintendent Fisher
and Collins have their respective sug-
gestions for amending the School Law,
and they are being carefully cauvassed.
Tho labors Of the committees are said
to be p~rotraeted to a late hour each
night. A report from them may be eI-
pected next week.
STATE PRISON.
The committees on State Prison meet
to-day at the Penitentiary, and Ego

examining style as some Of its inhabit-
ants were wont to 60 through private
houses and pockets. A man who came
up on Billy Wilson'S stage, this morn
ing, informs US that a large invoice of
demijohns came up from Carson to the
Warm Springs this morning.
