A SINGING DoG.-The Petaluma Ores
cent Of February 18th chronicles the fol-
loving: We notice going the rounds
OF the newspapers an account of A dog
that sings in Hartford. Petaluma can
not be surpassed in that respect. Any
one who traverses Main street cannot fail
to notice beautiful brown spaniel be-
longing to Hayes, in the employ of Jack
Philips. Boney, as he is called, is dog
of remarkable intelligence. In more re-
spects than one he has become known as
a sort of public character. He has n
countenance almost human in intelli-
genee. In addition to his many other
accomplishment and qualifications he can
sing, or at least come as near that art as
many humans. Frequently, if any per-
son with whom he is acquainted will 90
INTO the shop, and after fondling him n
little Will begin some low ture, Boney
Will put in his voice and keep time and
tune with remarkable degree of aeon
racy. OF course his notes do not resem-
BILE very closely the sounds of the human
voice, but are still far from being unmu-
sical. From accounts of the Hartford
dog he Is IN no manner superior to Bo-
ney IN musical attainments. The owner
OF the dog has him trained to perform
many useful and entertaining actions.
and considers him invaluable. His sing
ing Is by ear rather than by note, never
having received proper instructions in
the rudiments."

CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT BILL.-The
Dill to district the State into Congression-
al districts, says the Sacramento Union.
of the 10th, passed the House yesterday,
with the change from the report of the
committee suggested and advocated by
the Union, of leaving Tuolumne with the
Middle District. The district bounda-
aries will stand as at present, with the
exception that Mono is left in the South
ern instead OF the Middle District, and
San Francisco is erected into district
by itself. The bill is now just as near
right as it can be made, and will proba-
bly, become law.

TEMPEST IN A TEA-PoT.-A number
of wears ago, United States Bank and
the question of Protective Tariff, or
Tariff for Revenue Purposes only, were
prominent issues before the people. This
was in General Jackson's time, and his
great personal popularity with the people
swept everything before it. In these days
we have small potatoe statesmen who
are incapable Of tracing the effect back
to the cause, and foolishy imagine that a
popular notion in Jackson's time must be
so now. Their bigoted minds are inca
pable of realising that the world moves.
We are led TO these observations by an
almost amusing debate which originated
| in the California Senate from what might
be styled an insignificant foundation. We
quote from the Sacramento Daily Ulti0n
Of February 18th:
d" Protection of Chiccory - Mr.. Van
| Ness, from the Committee on Federal
! Relations, reported back Senate joint res
olution, relative to instructing our Sen
ators and requesting our Representatives
| to oppose a reduction Of the duty on Chic
cory flour, and recommended its adop-
! ton"
Mr.. VanNess, making the above report,
being a Democrat, Mr.. Beige, another
Senator Of the same political faith, arose
and in long speech, accompanied with
figures, urged its adoption. Here is the
substance of his remarks : 1.-TWO years
ago this industry was introduced by Ger
man farmers in San joaquin county, and
it is now pursued in several counties in
this State. We have heretofore imported
some $500 tons Of Chiccory annually.
The farmers now produce 5,400 tons. Our
soil is well adapted to the production OF
Chiccory, and with the proper encourage
ment (protection p we may in few years
produce enough to meet home consump-
tion and export" Upon this apparently
unimportant matter quite a breeze sprung
up in the Senate. Our Old-Line Wing,
Know Nothing, Radically Democratic
Senator, from Trinity and Shasta coun-
| tItS, HhSbtiith " pub HlIicCll vi It'Oli III
the following language, as reported by
| the U1iOn:
Mr.. MCMURRY-I move to strike out
the word not, and make it read SO that
our delegation may be asked to use all
| honorable means to have the duty reduced.
| am not n high-tariil man. ! detieUc
! all Democrats haze ddUOcdted no tdriD,
and do not propose to stultity myself
! by making "A request Of this kind TO Con-
grcss. | move TO strike out the word
not"
In Mr.. McMurry's remarks, as quoted,
the sublime Of impudence and ignorance
are reached. An Old-Line Wing and
bitter Know-Nothng invoking the tradi-
tional policy Of the Democratic party, is
pretty good. But when it is further rep
resented that "dH Democrats hare dd-
ooc0tcd no tdriD," we are decidedly at
II loss to know what is meant, unless the
Confederate Democracy are intended.

THE THIRTY FIFTH PARALLEL RAIL-
AD.-The snow blockade on the Union
Pacific which has so long deprived us of
mail facilities with the East, has given a
powerful impetus to the construction of
the projected railroad on the thirty-flth
parallel to connect San Francisco with
st. Louis. The proposed route has been
surveyed, and during the past Summer
its great advantages for cheap and speedy
construction were made public in our city
journals. 1t will be a route never liable
to be blocked by snow, and running
through a region where the climate is
mild, it must command an amount of
travel that will render it paying invest
ment. This was the route that ought to
have been selected in the first place, for
Its advantages were well known, and its
construction would have developed our
resources in an extraordinary manner bv
uniting the southern coast counties with
San Francisco. st. Louis has already
extended her rails toward us, through the
Indian Territory, for a distance of over
400 miles. The city has also one of the
largest rolling mills in the Union. Mis-
sour has an abundant supply of coal and
ore, and her people seem determined to
make a railroad connection with the
Pacific through region of country that
has been but partially prospected. The
proposed road will embrace San Diego in
It's route, which, during the past three
years, has been marked by an extraordi-
nary development. Los Angeles and
San Bernardno have already taken action
IN the matter.-,San Francisco Eran,-

TINNIN's SPEEcH.-Our AssembIyman,
Hon. w. j. Tinnin, delivered quite II
lengthy speech on the 18th instant. The
question discussed was the resolution APP
propriating 81, 900 in payment of the ex-
penses of entertaining the japanese EN-
bassy in accordance with IA previously
adopted resolution. Mr.. Tinnin is a gen
tleman of intellect and culture and his
remarks in opposition to the resolution
SAVIOR somewhat Of forethought and prep
aration. lie evidently intended to place
himself square upon the record. Arguing
that japanese "were links of the same
sausage and made out of the same dog"
and had the same smell " rs Chinese,
he was emphatic in his denunciation Of
the resolution. His effort fills consider
able space in the reported proceedings,
and at times it excited considerable merri-
ment. The obvious partisan stand taken
by the speaker necessarily lessened the
effect it might have otherwise produced.
The " fat nose," woolly head, +" " long
heel" crooked shin," and "strong
smell " of the negro, although for long
time the burden Of Democratic appeals
to the prejudices Of the American people,
have lost their effect. To brand man
as an Aboltionist no longer conjures up
raw-head and bloody y-bone visions of ogres
and cannibals. Vulgarly speaking, and
not to quote from the classics, "that's
played out" Opposition to the japanese
in the character Of visitors to these United
States should be founded on more sub
stantia! basis. As the representatives of
an ancient and important people, the Jap
anese, especially when accompanied by Il
formally accredited representative of the
United States, were entitled to all due
courtesy at the hands of the California
Legislature, and this view was sensibly
taken by the Democratic Senate as well
as the Republican Assembly. We take
it Mr.. Tinnin's reference to his friend
from Nevada is equally applicable to him
solf. Looking into the future for political
advancement, here was point to be made
or lost. The past teaches that mere ap-
peals to prejudice yield no lasting victo-
ries. There is sense of right written on
the hearts OF all men that, tardy though
it be, renders final verdict on the side
of reason and of justice.

Paper Acts which were avowedlv noesod
for the purpose Of sustaining Democratic
newspapers and compelling their admis-
sion into households whore otherwise thew

The grounds upon which these measures
were advocated and passed were sufficient
to condemn them. While evory man
ought to take a paper, and especially his
local paper, no one is now compelled by
law to patronize any particular one against
his will,

a body, would control it, and this is too
plain to be for a moment entertained.
With one-fourth of the Legislature in the
hands of one or two adroit managers in
San Francisco, there would be no no end
to the enterprises political and financial
that could be carried out. The Assem-
bly, bill was warmly discussed a few days
since by that body, and will come up
again in a few days.
A SUNDAY LAW.
A few since Senator Neff introduced
a Sunday law, very similar in its provi-
sons to the one in force in this State a
few years ago. Now it has leaked out
that the Penal Code, which has passed
both Houses and has been approved by
the Governor, contains a Sunday law al
most word for word like that introduced
by Mr.. Nef, and which will go into eff
feet January lst, 1873. This has proved a
surprise to the majority and with whom
the Sunday law is not approved, and
very likely repeating bill will be pre-
sented. This is but natural consequence
Of passing bills without reading, but per-
haps was cxcuseable in this case, as the
reading Of the Penal Code, would have
occupied more time than could now be
given to such.
THE JAPANESE RECEPTION
Another matter hanging fire in the Leg
islature and much to their disgrace, is
the resolution appropriating s., 600 to COW
er the expenses Of the reception and ban
quet. 1t had passed the Senate, though
not without some dissenting voices, and
on Saturday came up in the Assembly.
Thanks to the kind advice of Speaker
Shannon the day before, discussion on
the matter, and which always ensues
upon anything in which the name Mon
golian is mentioned, was on this occasion
cut short by call tor the question. Mr.
Tinnin, however got in quite little
speech, and was bitterly opposed to the
Legislature paying for this big drunk I"
given. The ayes and noes were called
and resulted in a tie vote-35, 35-and
was lost. Notice of reconsideration was
given, and probably the resolution will
finally pass. And such is to be hoped
may be the case. No matter how bad
the precedent may be, the Legislature
now should hardly repudiate the actions
Of one Of its regularly appointed commit
tees.
This reminds me of the fact that Days
resolution regarding the collection of the
FOREIGN MINERS TAX,
Notwithstanding the unfavorable major
ity report Of the COMMITTEE, after a
long debate was passed to engrossmemt.
Luttrell, Of Siskiyou, made a long mi
nority report tavoring its passage, and
its engrossment was ordered by large
majority. The resolution requests Con-
gress to pass such laws as will admit of
the collection of the foreign miners tax
as heretofore.
The question of Chinese immigration
occasioned considerable dodging in the
Senate on Saturday. The resolution re-
quested Congress to pass such laws as
would discourage this, and the ayes and
noes being called, eighteen out of the
forty Senators failed to answer to their
names. The resolution was adopted by
vote Of 20 ayes to noes, Senator McMur-
ry voting with the former. Il.
