The street Cleaning Investigation.
The Committee of the Legislature TO inves-
tigate the Street Cleaning Bureau and tho
subject of street cleaning aud disposing of
the dirt generally continued their labors ~
the Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday The IN
vestigation is postponed till Saturday in con-
sequence of the death of Commissioners
Smith and the engagements of other Police
Commissioners. So far no important facts
appear to have been elected. The contract
ors who were examined represented that
their contracts were not valuable A great
part of the time was taken up on the question
Of disposing of the street 'cleanings without
filing up the harbor or endangering the pub
lie health. Pilot Commissioner Blunt thought
the best place to dump the dirt would be In
the sea about mile below Coney Island. A
good deal of the dirt has been used to fill up
the flats around or in the neighborhood OF
New York One would think the refuse OF
the streets might be used proftably as ma
nure within convenient distance of the
city. But the great thing is. first. to have
clean streets. and then to see that the con-
tracts De carried out honestly. We hope the
committee will be able to devise some salts
factory plan from the mass Of evidence they
will have before them.
BECAUSE THE EXPERIENCED Mr.. @. L. Brace
objects to the 'demoralizing'' effect of feeding
the starving poor it must not be supposed
that he does not possess, in an eminent de-
gree, the Christian virtue of charity. He only
insists that the poor shall be relieved, in
discreet manner, through the hands of experts.
His Childrens Aid Society spent seventy-6ve
thousand dollars last year for discretion
and experience" and probably quarter Of
that amount on the poor. We may feel as
sured that the charity thus carefully guarded
has done nothing to undermine the morals Of
the destitute.

LAND MoNopoLIsT. The Northern Enter
prise speaks rather proudly of the fact that
in Colusa County is the largest grain farm
in the world. 1t refers to the farm of Mr..
j. II. Glenn, on which, it says, he will this
year sow 40, 900 acres to wheat. OF course
it is no fault of the county that in it should
be located the largest farm, for if it was not
there it would be somewhere else; but the
Enterprise ought to discourage such mo-
nopoly of its valuable soil by any one man.
and reflect how many more subscribers it
would have, and how many more patrons
all branches of business and industry the
county would have, and how many more
well-to-do people there would be in Colusa,
were this 10000 acres of wheat land owned
and cultivated by 250 families instead of
one pompous lord of the soil. Just such
monopolists as Mr.. Glenn are what keeps
the people from the country and prevents our
cities and towns from growing as they
should, and our valleys and mountains from
being thickly settled with that thrifty, stur-
dy population which they would 80 amply
support,

CHIEF JUSTICE.

Grant nominated Attorney-General VIII
liams for Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court, but in the eyes of the great Mogul'
at Washington he was not found fit for the
position, and it would have been a disgrace
to the country had his nomination been con-
firmed. Next Caleb Gushing was nomina-
ted but it was found in years far gone he
had regarded Jeff Davis as his friend, and
that let him out Now we learn that the
third nomination, to which it is said belongs
the charm, has, to the surprise of nearly ev-
erybody, fallen upon Morrison r. Waite, Of
Ohio. We are not personally acquainted
with Mr.. Waite; we have heard it said
though, that he was one of the counsel for
the United States before the Geneva Arbi-
tration, which, probably, more than any
thing else, has given him distinction. But
it seems there are a good many Congress
men who are not much better acquainted
with the gentleman than we are, and for
this reason, and probably this is the prinei-
pie one, it is thought the nomination will be-
confirmed. Some say he is a good man for
the position. If confirmed, we shall hope
time will prove they have said right.
Since writing the above, we see from dis
patches tha. the nomination of Waite has
been confirmed, and it is now Chief Justice
Waite.

A Coon SUGGESTION. N.-We would sug-
gest to our chickadee neighbor that before
entering into details regarding county Off
GERS, that he examine the facts and not
make any more such wild, unjust and one
sided assertions, as to declare the Sheriff
had been violating the law in not making
out his reports to the Clerk Of the Board of
Supervisors. These reports, as we under
stand it, were regularly made out by the
Sheriff as long as they were called for.
But it has been the opinion that under the
Codes they were not required, and conse-
quently none of the officers have recently
| made such reports. 1t is now understood
that these reports must be made out, and
we believe all the county officers are ready
to comply in the matter. The act, though,
of our sneaking neighbor in selecting the
Sheriff from all the others, because he is an
Independent, and accusing him of violating
the laws when, in fact, he had only in COM
mon with others inadvertently neglected a
requirement of the Code, is characteristic of
the man, and illustrates his veracity and the
relia bility of his journal without further
comments.

The following resolution has been intro
duced by Hon. j. IL. Neff.
Resolved by the Senate of the State Of Cali
fornia the Assembly concurring, That our Sen
ators in the Congress Of the United States are
hereby instructed and our Representatives re-
quested to vote against the passage of bill in
troduced into the House of Representatives by
the Hon. j. d. Ward of Illinois, and known as
an act entitled an act supplemental to and
amenddtory of an act entitled an act to promote
the development OF the mining resources OF the
United States approved March 10th, 1872.
Resolved, That the Governor is hereby re-
quested to tranrmit a copy of this resolution to
each of ourSenators and Representatives In
Congress.
Sargent's bill to promote the development
of the mining resources of the United
States, referred to in the above resolution,
provides that all valuable mineral deposits
in lands belonging to the United States, both
surveyed and unsurueyed, shall be open to
exploration, and the lands in which they are
found, open to occupation and purchase by
all persons, according to the local customs
or rules of miners in the several mining
districts, SO far as the same are applicable
and not inconsistent with the laws of the
United States. The law is the same under
which miners are now, in this county, and
indeed, Throughout the whole country, ap-
plying Gov n"a ~oaa;~;-o r-.~.--v 20. .l'o''
mining claims. As near as we understand
Wards supplemental act, it proposes to al
low the sale of mineral lands by the General
Government, in tracts of certain size, re-
gardless of the richness of said lands, or
the number of actual mining claims thereon.
This is subject which interests miners, and
our columns are open for any views they
may wish to express on the same, or
kindred subjects.
