SACRAMENTO, March 18th, 1870
RDIToR JoURN4Lt-Another week has gone by,
aud the Legislature is one week nearer that mer.
tied Oblivion in which its as individuals,
are about to be buried although the atrocious acts
aud bills which they have passed will retain them,
as a body, in our memories for some time to come.
Acts, bills, resolutions, petitions, ETC., have
been rushed through with frightful speed, rem
dering it exceedingly doubtful whether or not
the members can be acquainted with even por-
ton of the laws they have made. Evening ses-
sions the order just at present, and at those
sessions it is curious to see what determination

twenty millions of dollars legislated in the short
space of three hours. The State treasury is
about empty now. The taxes for this year are
not yet levied. We shall see what this boasted
economical Legislature has effected in the way
Of lesseniug the expenses of the government of
the State, apd reducing our taxation. When
The tax-cOllector comes round TO collect the
amounts in which the citizens mulcted for
the support Of the State, then let the taxpayers
remember what this economical, shOrt-sesson of
a Democratic Legislature has done to further
their interests. Let them remember that they
have depleted the treasury for the benefit OF
themselves and friends and that they have
created numberess offices for political paupers
that they have increased instead of diminished
taxation and then if they wish, let them elect
another Democratic Legislature.
Almost the entirety Of the legislation this
week has been special, and therefore would be
of little interest TO your readers. The Governor
vetoed the bill for the relief of Patrick Creighton,

Therefore the bill was passed over the veto.
Had they been Smith, Brown and Jones their
chances would have been poor indeed, even
when first Introduced. But the foreign vote
must be "cOnciliated."

Senator Larkin, of FL Dorado, created quite

resolution, which was adopted to adjourn sine

then tabled the resolution. " Economy"

Both Houses adjourned over the l7th, ostensi-
