THE Law OF l7Ss-Ths Law OF 1859. according
to the Philadelphia Bulletin, was not the work Of
Alexander Hamilton. That paper has the follow
ing statement:
An examination, however, Of the parliamentary
history of the act shows concusivey that the real
author Of the provision which has caused the Cab
met " hitch" at Washington was Edanus Burke, o
Representative from South Carolina In the first
Congress under the Constitution. On the 18th Of
June, 1889, while The House Of REPRESENTATION
had under confederation the bill establishing the
treasury department, Mr.. Burke gave notice that
he meant to bring in clause to be added TO the
bill "to prevent any person appointed to the Of
fee Of secretary Of the treasury from being direct
ly or indirectly concerned in commerce, or In
specializing in the public funds, under high pen
atty. and being deemed guilty Of high INSIDE
meanor. ir e'.
The intention Mr.. Burke carried into effect on
the next day June S0), when he introduced his
additional clause a. an amendment. which, after
some alteration and addition proposed by Mr..
Fitxsimmons, OF Pennsylvanis. and Others, was
adopted and made part Of the bill.
Edanus Burke was born in Galway, ireland, and
came to America ct the beginning OF the revolu-
ton. In IT'S he was appointed q Judge Of the
Supreme Court Of South Carolina, and was re-
preventative in Congress from that State from
17se to 1871.
Thus II happens. funnily enough. that the Irish.
man of 80 killed the Irishman Of '69.

QUEEN EMMA AT HoME.-A correspondent Of
the San Francisco Bulletin writes from Honolulu
concerning Queen Emma, whose visit to the
United States will be remembered:
] saw and recognised the once beautiful and
still fne.looking queen of Ksmehsmeha III.
saw her first ct her summer residence In Nunanu
Valley. She reclined upon some mats and pill
-lowsa In the oriental style. "A broad veranda
made most refreshing shade, and e she offered
Us dish Of edible bark 70 little like slippery
elm, but very tender.) or some fruits. her grace
and dignity were singularly pleasing. She seemed
some pastoral goddess, born to rule her fsun-like
subjects with love and gentleness, and, indeed,
che il such. Her only coronet was Of wild how-
ers, which are very generally worn here BY both
sexes, and most becomingly %. Chains Of flow.
era and berries hung about her neck also,
giving out an agreeable odor. There was no
formality observed, even by her workmen. whom
she was overseeing h. person. Her gardener
came at her CALL and sitting. on ne step OF the
yerapds, laughed and argued with her as freely
as possible yet no one could feel inclined to pre-
NE upon such modest dignity.

DRAINING AND IRR1GArIHa.

For many hundred years Holland has
tried in vain to redeem her I" swamp
and overlooked lands f" from the Zuy der
Zee and at last some of her engineers
have hit upon-a plan which, involving,
as it will, the expenditure of fifty mil
lions of dollars, will drain something
like three hundred and rinety Thousand
acres of land. 1t seems to US that there
is something of lesson in this that
might with profit be studied here and
in California Everybody knows that
all our sage plains need is irrigation to
make them pasture lands and wheat
fields. We have, of public lands in
,his State more than fonr times the
number of acres that these Dutchmeu
are about to drain at an expense equal
10 that already involved in the con
s,ruction of the Pacific Railway. We
don't propose to elaborate this hint any
more than we propose to tell engineers
and landowners how to get Up the sys-
ten of irrigation toward which we
have limited bnt while the tule lands
of California lie useless as they do
while the grape lands of the, Sierras are
idle for want of water ; while ;he plains
and valleys of Nevada are suffered to
remain deserts, don't let US, while brsg
cling. ns it is our custom, over our "un
paralleled enterprises" lose sight o
he fact that the Dutch are - damned |
10 everlasting redemption and that
heir dam-nation is to be admired as
y orihy Of emulation.

The NEW YORK VIGILANTEs-We
alluded yesterday to the New York Vigil
ance Committee; and in looking over the
Herald we find, by the following paragraph
that by that paper, at least, the Committee
is not held in high esteem:
When it was suggested some time ago that
affairs here should be taken up by vigilance
committee we veatured the fancy that in
this latitude all the rogues would be on the
committee. We now see by the courts
reports that a pseudo "president Of the
vigilance committee" is on trial FOX getting
money on bogus check.
