LEGISLATIVE ECONOMY.

There has been something said of the
economy of the last Legislature. We
therefore propose to devote few lines to
the considerations of their policy. A leg
islature which passed subsidy bills enough
to bankrupt the whole State deserves
watching.
When California was organized as a
State, it was under constitution, which
forbade the contracting OF debt of more
than one hundred thousand dollars for
any purpose, or aggregate ofpurposcs what
ever without first submitting the question
to a vote of the people. There WAS no
legislature which paid any regard to this
provision till 1857. At this time the
State debt, ascertained and floating, ag
gregate abont fifty times the constitutional
limit, or near five millions of dollars. The
Supreme Couri declared the whole debt
unconstitut onal The legislature then in
session were thus lett without the means
Of paying their hotel bills Their first
impulses were revolutionary, they were
disposed to declare the State Government
vacated by the act of the upreme Court.
This was quarrel within the Democratic
party and was compromised by law which
was submitted to the people and ratified
by an immense majority. which provided
for issuing three nj ion nine hundred
thousond dollars in bonds. he law pro-
vided that tax Of thirty cents on the
hundred dollars s ouId be levied annuity
for the purpose of meeting these oblisa-
tions. Thee Institution requires tlat tax
thus levied by the direction of the popular
vote shall not be diminished until the OBJ
LEGATION is discharged.
Now We come TO the part the last legis-
lature took in this matter. They abolished
the compact made by the people with their
bondholders and provi led instead, for a
tax Of fifteen cents. thus reducing it one
half By this means they were enabled
to squander large sums without increasing
taxation. 1t was simple case of squander-
ing money which had been collec. ed with
the pledge Of paying the State debt

REPUBLICANS ARE CONSISTENT.

How stands the charge of inconsistent
cy upon the Chinese question: 10 June,
1869, the Democratic State Convention
in its platform opposed the adoption of the
fifteenth Amendment, because, as it de-
clared, the proposed amendment, if adopt
ed, would be certain to degrade the right
of suffrage, to ruin the laboriug white man,
by bringing untold hordes of pagan slaves
(in all but name) into direct competition
with his efforts to earn livelihood to
build up an aristocratic class of oligarchs
in our midst, created and maintained by
Chinese votes to give the negro and
Cinnamon the right to vote and hold Office,
and that its passage would be inilnical to
the best interests OF our country.
There are thousand of voters in this
State to-day who remember well with what
effect the Democratic orators used these
assertions, and how they succeeded, by
their earnestness and apparent sincerity,
in inducing crcdulous Republicans to be-
lieve it their duty to support Democratic
nolnin es for the Legislature in order to
defeat the proposed Fifteenth Amendment
How heartily must these swinded voters
now desl ise these same pol ticians who,
in the very next platform they have an op-
portunity of connecting, profess to accept
this amendment, and declare that the is
sues involved in it "are no longer before
the country" Are they sincere now, or
were they guilty of falsehood them 1t
matters little which way the question is
answered, with party whose principles
can be shufled off in two years. One
thing is certain, they rode into power upon
false issues, false accusations, false prophe-
cies, and false promises; now they are put
to their wits end for the invention of new
methods Tor deceiving the people into per-
uniting them to retain the power unfairly
gained and dishonesty used. They do n t
now pret nd that the Fifteenth Amend
ment confers suffrage upon the Chinese -
The Republicans never favored Chinese
suffrage, aud when, in the canvass of 1869,
they were charged from every stump iu
the Sta with favoring it, by reason of
their support ofthe Fifteenth Amendment,
they stoutIy denied the charge, and dis
puted the proposition that the adoption of
the proposed amendment would bring
about such result. The last two years
have suthced to demonstrate the talsity of
the issue made by the Democratic leaders
and the soundness of the grounds then
taken by the Republicans. 1t was con-
ceded then on the part of the latter that by
the adoption of the Fifteenth Amendment
every man, without distinction of color or
rae bord upon American soil, becan an
American citizen, invested with all the
rights and privileges of such citizenship.
Persons born 10 the United States of
Chinese parents are therefore American
citizens So says the Fifteenth Amend
nent; and the Democracy, having accept
ed the amendment, and having declared

POLITICAL Touchdown. the Demo.
cratic candidate for Secretary of State, in
his speech here on Saturday night, seemed
to be impressed W tn the idea that he was
making great point against Republican
papers for condemning Haight for signing
the lottery bill, while they publish the lot
terry advertisements. Brown, in tho same
speech, touching on the Chinese question,
said, while the Chinese were here and
could be hired cheap, the Democrats even
would employ them and make money out
of them, and the only way to prevent such
employment was to drive the Chinese out.
All right Brown. Reasoning from analogy,
We must conclude that the way to prevent
Republican newspapers from making money
from publishing lottery advert sements is
to drive Governor out Of Office who O.
Iates the Constitution and gives the news
papers the opportunity, and that is what
we are trying to do. How is that for logic,

TO BE INVESTIGATED.

A public speaker of prominence. in ad-
dressing the people of Mnrvsville "A few days
ago. charged, and stated that he had the
documents in proof. that men had been en-.
gagei to work on the State Capitol at 81
per dav, and drew S4 from the State Trea-
surv, their employers pocketing the differ
'ence. the Sacramento Uninn thinks the NC
rusation serious, but says it has reason to be
lieve it is well founded. This belief is based
upon the statements Of the workmen them
selves, who have been required to sign orders
for double t amount they received, the
other half being fched from the State.
The Union says "a record is being made of
some of these transactions, which will duly
appear" By all means let that record be
given to the public, that the parties accused
ma; have an opportunity of defending Il en-
selves. or failing to do so. stand convicted of
dishonesty, and he dismissed from office.
The laboring man is hrremade the innocent
victim of fraud. If his work is worth the
sum which he is nominally allowed. that is
the amount he ought to receive aud to de
prive him ( it is to take n cruel, and. in this
case. dishonest advantage of his necessities.
Work upon he State Capitol and the Exc
cutive Mansion is done under the supervision
Of the State Architect. who is subject to the
direction and control Of the State Capitol
Commissioners. 1t is against the Architect
that the charges of dishonesty---or, at least.
cnnnivance at dshOnesty-are directed, and
who will be demanded, hv clear and un-
equivocal showing, to wash his skirts Of all
criminalitv in the matter.
A workman named CoRcoRAN makes
nfid sit that he. some time ag', called the
attention of the Governor to these frauds. he
teing one of the Commissioners, and that
the Governor had promised t. see about the
matter. At that time the charges bad not
assumed such tangible shape as now. and his
Excellency. being in the midst of an exciting
and to him very interesting, political cam
paign, may have overlooked or forgotten
them. But there is no longer an excuse for
avoiding an investigation. 1t is his duty to
summon his fellow Commissioners, the Sec
rerary of State and State Treasurer. to his
aid, and by joint and impartial action, they
should silt the matter to the bottom. This
much is due to a parties, and the people
will not be satisfied with anything less

THE FRAUDS AT THE CAPITAL.

In yesterdays Chronicle we published

beer defrauded in the building of the Capi.
toll Well-in-formed authority states hat
out of fifty persons employed by Hobson in
the Gas Fitting and Plumbing Department,
five were mechanics receiving the wages
usually paid to skilled workmeu. The
Others we're "helpers," and every good
Democrat needing position, whether he
was salmaker, laborer, boilermaker or
other mechanic, artisan or workingman was
Ell ployed as "helper." No bargains as
to wages were made. At the end of the
month D. E. Beveridge, Time Keeper,
made out each mans time and handed it
to Hobson, the Superintendent E1hs0u
tux the time to the Controllers office,
where Architect Bennett indorsed the
amount of the per diem. The amounts
wer registered and the warrants issued,
which Hobson took to the Treasurer's
Office, and received the amount of the
wages Of all the men at S434 per day.
The men re sent to Hobson's of6cey
where Ayers, his partner, paid them of, at
the rate of 81 IL per day. Ioty five

tol We are credibly informed that the
same system exists and has existed in every
other department of the Capitol building,
except the blcklayers, who insisted upon
their regular per diem, being organized
for that purpose. Governor Haight was
made acquainted with these facts, and
ought to have promptly Investigated tie
matter instead Of permitting the State to
be robbed of thousands of dollars per day.
The evil example of Tummany has spread
to California, and the scholars are already
surprising their teachers in the scheme Of
plundering the Treasury. The people
ought to repudiate the Democratic admin
istration unde- VIII ch this corruption has
grown up and which now neglects to have
the guilty brought to punishment.-San

THOSE Democrats are such slows fellows

Constitutional way, according to Democ-
ratio theory, to prevent the Southern
States from seeding. Lincoln improvised
way which proved eminently Constitu.
tional. Finally Democracy reluctantly
acquiesced in the means employed, but
said the Southerners couldn't be whipped
and demanded an armnistice. Grant,
Sherman and their armies knock ID those
theories in the head Then Democrats
said that the "nigger" ought not to be al
