DELAYS OF LEGISLATION "A rule for
both branches Of the Legislature should
be adopted, requiring committees to re-
port back all bills referred to them with
in reasonsb ble time, say ten days, from
the time Of reference. This would effect
ually put stop to the practice of smoth-
ering bills in committees, and not bring
ing them forward until such time as will
be too late for legislative action thereon.
The present practice is to daily with mea-
sures of importance until the two or three
last weeks and then they are rush
cd in and crowded on the files, and in
many cases are passed without being
read except by title, their contents being
unknown, except to their authors. In
this way many bills are got through,
which have only the check of the Execu-
tive veto to fear, in preventing the enact
ing of laws of often more than doubtful
policy. The passage of such a large
number of bills in the last few days of the
session, leaves the Governor little time to
give to each the rigid examination that it
should have. Some action of the kind
VIC have indicated should be taken, to
take the weight Of responsibility off the
shoulders of the Executive, and place il
where it properly belongs, on the law
making power.

SHASTA CoUNTY.-A correspondent Of
the Courier, writing from Eagle Creek,
whites that a man by the name of John
Walker, living on the North Fork Of
Cottonwood, was found frozen to death
on the 9th inst. He had probably met
his fate on the night of the Sd. He was
a hard working man, but too fond of Ii
quor and to this cause is attributed his
death, as when he started from the Eagle
Creek store to return home, he was some
what under the influence Of liquor and
had two bottles with him.
The prisoners confined in the county
Jail at Shasta broke Jail and some sue
ceeced in escaping. From what we can
gather, the prisoners, six in number,
were in the large room of the Jail, and
by means of sharp mansanta stick
succeeded in prying off the staple Of the
main door and obtained access TO the
Sheiff's office, where they got revolver
and a Spencer rife. The cook at the
Empire hotel and the Under Sheriff, soon
after went down to them with their sup
pers, and were at once made prisoners
and drove into one of the cells. The pris-
oners then cut off their shackles with an
AK, went up stairs, where they met the
Sheriff and Assessor, who had just came
in-they covered the Sheriff with their
revovers, but Assessor Osborne escaped
into the street and gave the alarm. OF
six prisoners two, "Shorty" Hayes, one
Of the Redding stage robbers, and Schnei-
der, charged with grand larceny, succeed
ed in escaping. Two of the escapes went
over to McGary's saloon opposite, and
called for a drink, and when McGary
asked them how they got out, told him
they had only came out because they
were dry, that the Jail was place where
they had good grub, nothing to do, and
they were going right back. The news
Of the wholesale Jail delivery created, as
may be supposed, intense excitement in
Shasta.
Six couples, in Shasta and vicinity, are
reported as preparing to enter the matri-
monia state about holiday times. Hap
py Shasta.
The total rainfall in Shasta from Sept.
lst up to and including the first IL days
eff the current month, aggregates 1l.I2
inches.
The store at Eagle Creek is reported
as having been burned one day last week.
The loss is said to be fully covered by in
surance.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

WANTS rSFoRxAgIoN.-Mr. Tinnin,
our Assem- blyman, has written up to par
ties in this county, TO inquire into the
wants and wishes Of our people upon Ger
tain questions Of public moment. He
wants TO know of our merchants whether
they are satisfied with the present trans
portaticn charges, or, If there are any
chan gcs they are desirous of having
made Whett4 t4er the transportation COM
pany is Wiling to have these changes
made. or not, is a question of no mo-
'>ient. Our representative was elected to
serve THE PEOPLE, to look out for their
interests and not for those Of the trans
portstion company. And it would GER
tsinly be to the interest Of both consum-
er and shipper to hayo such rates reduced
towel, anything that is g reduction.
Mr.. Tinnin was, for many years, a
leading merchant Of Weaverville, and
should be perfectly competent to say if
the present charges are too high, or are
not. He should know that the freight
which then cost twenty dollars per ton,
measurement, at Red Bluff, is now deliy-
cred for eighteen dollars per ton, freight,
at Redding, thirty-fve miles nearer this
point. And be should also know that
the difference in freight by weight and
by measurement is nearly onehalf.-
With these present rates, so much more
liberal than those levied under the rules
Of the California Steam Navigation Gem
pany, we will undertake to inform him
(even at the risk of being called railway
organ), that our merchants and shippers
profess thepselYes satisfied some, even
of the most ultra snti-railroad men say
that so far as the business of the railroad
relates to this point there is no cause of
complaint. There may be those who be-
lieve present rates too high, but, if SO, we
have not heard them named In fact,
there have never been any complaints OF
either oyer-charges or unnecessary de-
lays, since the line to Reddng went into
operation, that have come to our knowl-
edge, With the exception of one chap
who thinks the company should pay him
wages when he has to travel over their
road, we know Of no one anxious for Il
change.

In the Assembly the war against the
Central Pacific goes bravely on, and even
the captious Union has no fault to find.
Tinain's bill to repeal the Act Of 1864 in
aid of the Ceatral Pacific, has received
very little comment from the press as
yet. We have received from Mr.. Tinnin
copy of the bill; its preamble asserts
that the company have failed to live up
to the conditions Of tho contract. This
may or may not be the case it is ques-
tion upon which the courts will have to
pass. The repeating act authorizes the
Governor to commence suit to recover
nearly million Of dollars heretofore paid
as interest upon the bonds Of the compa-
ny, and appropristes 500, 900 for counsel
hire to prosecute the suit.
Freeman has introduced bill regulat
ing fares and freghts. Under its provis-
ions the maximum rate allowed to be
charged on freight per ton will be six
cents per mile. This freight rate is about
the same we have been paying between
San Francisco and Redding. If the bill
becomes law, it will shut off the north
ern part of the State from any hope of a
future reduction in rates of freight and
passage which might accrue from an in
creased amount of business.
The bill repeating tho "Five per cent.
Act" passed the Assembly with but two
dissenting votes. Its provisions were on
ly in force in some of the Southern coun-
ties, which had been exempted from the
repeating act of two years ago, in defer
ence to the wishes Of the immediate rep
rssentative' of those counties, and in
San Francisco.

DEATH OF AGAssIz.-Louis John Ru-
dolph Agassiz, the great naturalist, died
at his home in Boston December l4th,
aged 66. He was born in Switzerland
and came to the United States in 1916 to
make himself familiar with the natural
history OF the country. Since that time
his history belongs to the United States,
but his fame is universal. Like many
great drained men, he died evidently of
overwork-but he was favored by only a
short, in fact scarcely any, illness. Sac

MINES AND MINING
IN CALIFORNIA AND NEVADA.

OWING TO THE DELAYS that have
" attended the printing and distribution
of the Reports Of The Commissioners on
MininG SATISFIES, these carefully pre-
pared and otherwise useful publications,
have failed to keep the world duly posted
in regard to the condition and progress OF
mining affairs on the Pacific Coast, the
information conveyed through this me-
dium being already many months old by
the time it reaches the eye of the general
public. With view to furnishing fresh
intelligence on mining topics, and bring
ing the history of this great industry down
to the most recent date, the undersigned
will, on or about the first of February
next, issue large octave volume, de-
voted to consideration Of mining mat
teIs, as they exist at the present time, in
the States of California and Nevada. In
the fulfllment of this purpose the author
will at once visit every important district
and locality in these States that has not
already been lately examined or heard
from through reliable channels, to the
end that the information embodied in this
volume may be recent and authentic.
The great aim will be to fill the book with
live practical matter; wherefore, only
such properties as have been brought to a
productive condition, or as have, through
developments made, established for them
selves good degree Of actual or pros
pective merit will receive attention nor
will any notice be bestowed on processes
or appliances other than such as have met
with approval after extended working
tests.
This work will be printed on the best
quality of paper, and be elegantly and
substantially bound, the design being to
impart to it such mechanical excellence
as will reflect credit upon the book-mak-
ing art in California.

No FENoE.-Thc Fresno, Kern and
TLlare delegations to the Legislature were
elected as Independents upon the issue Of
Fence or No-Fence, the latter issue be-
ing triumphant. In the counties named
timber for fencing is not to be obtained,
whilo the soil is well fitted for agricultural
pursuits. A no-fence law to apply to the
counties named, and TO others similarly
situated, would seem to be desirable, and
a measure to that end will undoubtedly
be passed at the present session, But a
general law of that character will be pro-
ductive of more harm than good, nor do
we think it one desired by the people Of
the State generally.

Governor Booths Reception on Mon
day night was very liquid, liquid was the
chief that night. The Governor and Cy.
Wheeler had the best of ould Bourbon
up from the store below, and our legis-
lators made it suffer. As to the people
there, it would be useless to name them.
1t was he-mash, only twenty ladies be-
ing present. Nobody went in full dress
and hence the thing looked rather rough.
1t was TOO evident that, as the Reception
was held the night before the Senatorial
election, that it was a dodge to influence
votes.
The social events about town are not
worthy of record yet, but doubtless gos-
sip will be plenty before January blows
itself in. The haste with which / have
tried to compile this letter, waiting Tor
sensational developments, must account
for its want Of spice and variety.

To-day the Senate and Assembly meet
in Joint Convention, and as / write the
Senators are marching to the Assembly
Chamber. l hope to indite the result ere
this letter closes. The presence of John
P. Jones, U. S. Senator from Nevada,
who is now in this city, has been the sub
ject Of much remark. Why is not that
rotund individual in his seat, doing his
duty at Washington ? The why, is east
ly understood. He is the author of that
wonderful utterance, Millions may be
spent and no one corrupted in Senator
ial contest !" To make practical his
philosophy, is the object of his present
appearance in Sacramento. So we who
know the man believe. 1t Is to be re-
marked, too, a fact which none of the
papers have had courage to name, that
Red Frank Wheeler, skilled Jones' lob
byist, and Senator McBeth, of Nevada,
Jones right-bower, Wheeler being his
avowed left-bower, are also here, and
what under the sun do you suppose they
are doing here? Can no one guess e?

Send for Mother.

"Dear me it wasn't enough for me
to nurse and raise family of my own,
but now when I'm old, and expect to
have a little comfort here, it is all the
time, Send for mother. And the
dear old soul growls and grumbles, but
dresses herself as fast as she can, not
withstanding. After you have trotted
her off and got her safely in your home,
and she flies around, administering
remedies and rebukes by turns, you feel
easier. It's right now or soon will be
mothers come
In sickness, no matter who is there or
how many doctors quarrel over your
case, everything goes wrong, somehow,
till you send for mother. In trouble,
the first thing you think of is to send
for mother.
But this has it's ludicrous as well as
it's touching aspects. The verdant
young couples, to whom baby's extraor-
dinary grimaces and alarming yawns,
which threaten the dislocation of its
chin, its wonderful sleep, which it ac-
compllshes with It's eyes nalt open ana
no perceptible futter of breath on its
lips, causing the young mother to i'm
agine it is dead this time, and to shrek
out, "Send for mother" in tones of
anguish-this young couple, inthe light
of the experience which three or four
babies bring, find that they have been
ridiculous, and given mother a good
n,onv SO trota - for nothing
Did anybody ever send for mother
and did she fail to come, unless sick
ness or the infirmities of age prevented
her2 AS when in your childhood those
willing feet responded to your call, SO
they still do, and will continue to do as
long as they are able. And when the
summons comes which none yet disre-
garded, though it will be very dark
and sad one for you, then God, too, will
send for mother.
