The SALARY BILL.-The following in re-
gard to the effect which the operation of the
"Salary Bill" recently passed will have upon
the fees of the officers of this county, we
collate from the Sacramento correspondent
of the Register:
Calaveras is put down in the list as fourth
rate county. and the salary of her county
officers is reduced more than one-half Su-
pervisors are to receive five dollars per day,
but not to exceed in the aggregate more
than two hundred dollars a year, for look
ing after and guarding the interests Of the
county.
The District Attorney, for all legal advice
given to county officials, is to receive five
hundred dollars per year. twenty five dollars
for each conviction of felony. where the pun
ishment is death, twelve dollars for convic-
ton of other felony, eight dollars for con-
viction of misdemeanor; for collecting
delinquent taxes, ten per cent, and for COL
lecting forfeited recognizances, eight per
cent; but should the fees added to the salary
amount to more than two thousand dollars
year, the excess over that sum is to be
paid into the salary fund of the county. The
County Judge is put down for salary of
twelve hundred dollars per year, and the
Treasurer and Assessor at one thousand
each. The Sheriff is to receive salary of
three thousand eight hundred dollars q year.
which includes all services of Deputies and
jailors, and he has to rely upon the fees of
his Office for that amount, and should his
fees exceed the amount of three thousand
eight hundred dollars, the excess must be
paid into the salary fund.
The Clerk, who is also ex-oficio Recorder
and Auditor, receives twenty five hundred
dollars year, to include all Deputies, and
like the sheriff, has to rely upon the fees of
his Office for that amount, and all in excess
has to be paid over to the county.

WE publish the Report of the Grand Jury
this week. That body, besides being COM
posed, as the Register says, of "as fine, in
telligent looking men as ever were seen,"
possessed remarkable fund of facetiousness.
Their humor is as broad and their wit as
keen as Nasby's. Speaking of the escape of
the prisoners, they say:
. 1.-The jailor had his time occupied by play
ing fashionable game of "poker," at the
same time the prisoners were playing their
game with poker, or some instrument un-
known to the Jury"
There; that is an effort equal to Mark
Twain's best. The 'ine looking" body
would be a valuable acquisition to the
editorial corps of Punch, or could easily
issue book which would entirely supercede
the "American Jester" The fact of the
matter is, Grand Juries are as useless as the
"fifth wheel of a COACH" and should be done
away with. A Bill has passed the Legisla
ture reducing the number of Grand Jurors to
five. and another one ought to be introduced
to reduce them five more. Instead of being
careless or negligent. the jailor was too len
lent towards the prisoners. It would have
been less trouble to him to have kept them
locked up in the cells, which he ought to
have done, than to allow them the privilege
of the corridor. 1t is not the first time
prisoners have escaped from the Jail, but it
was reserved for that "fne looking body"
which recently met at San Andreas to indict
the jailor for ''misdemeanor" because some
of those confded to his charge escaped.
IMPEAcHMENT.-The Presidents counsel
were given until March 23d, to answer to the
charges Of impeachment, and the House Man
ayers given from that date until April 9th to
prepare for trial. Proceedings will probably
commence on that day. The Managers ex-
press their confidence in being able to obtain
conviction upon every count in the indict-
ment.
Weekly Calaveras chronicle., 1868-03-21

with the celebration passed off in highly
creditable manner. The Grafton delivered by
Chas. A Sumner, of Nevada, in Agricultural
Hall, was most eloquent and impressive
address, and the ball in the evening was q
brilliant affair, attended as it was by all the
brave and beautiful of the Capital city.
JUDGE HARTLRY's FUNERAL
also took place yesterday, under the super
vision of the Masonic order, and was un-
doubtedly the most imposing ceremony of the
character that has ever occurred in Sacra-
mento. Large numbers of Master Masons
and knight Templars were in attendance
from different parts of the State to assist in
the obsequies.
REVISION OF THE LAWS.
The Senate passed, last Monday, a Bill
providing for the revision and codifcation OF
the laws Of the State. 1t constitutes Judge
Barber, of Tuolumne, Judge Currey and-s
commission to revise and codify the laws and
report to the next session of the Legislature
each commissioner is to receive salary OF

lied to employ Clerk at salary of two
thousand dollars year. To any one who
has ever had anything to do with our Stat
utes, the Importance of this measure will be
apparent. Nc.

Letter from Mr.. Mentzell.

In our issue Of last week we spoke unfa-
vorably of Bill which had been introduced
in the House by Mr.. Mentzell, authorizing
the Board of Supervisors of this county to
subscribe for stock in the Stockton and Cop
peropolis Railroad. We are opposed to the
measure, from the fact that our indebtedness
is already larger than we can pay the inter-
est on, even, and because We do not believe
that the road. if completed, would benefit
this county sufficiently to warrant the addi-
tional obligation incurred. Mr.. Mentzell
has since informed US that he introduced the
Bill at the instance Of Mr.. Aver. and is him.
self opposed to it. In justice to Mr. Ment-
zell, we publish his letter in full:
SACRAMENTO, March 18th, 1868.
EDITOR CALAvBRAs CHRONICLE Dear
SI:-I see by the last issue of your paper,
you do not like the Bill introduced, allow
ing the Supervisors to subscribe to the cap
ital stock of the Copperopolis Railroad Co.
Neither do like the Bill, and only intro
duced the same at the special request of Mr..
Aver, who on Monday morning had some
business at the Governors Office and would
not be present when the time arrived for in
Producing bills.
What the object was of Mr.. Aver for hav-
ing this Bill introduced, do not know but
it was understood that although the Bill
was introduced, that it was to be referred to
the Delegation, who would not report the
same back. I have this Bill in my desk,
now, and can tell you that the same never
will see daylight again. The Bill provides
for the subscription of $5O,000, subject to a
vote of the people on the question; but I
would not, even with that provision, like to
see it pass, for fear it might be carried and
the county saddled with another debt of
$50.000.
Please make the correction in your next
paper, regarding this matter, and you will
oblige, yours truly,
OTTO MENTZELL.
