THAT APPORTIONM ENT.

The Sonoma Democrat, which, in justice
to it, we will say is usually right in its views,
pulls wry faces and pitifuly complains that
the Committee Appointment bill does its
county a great injustice; and because it is
pri,ked it goes on and declares the till a
fraud on the agricultural interests of the
whole State. This is wrong in the Democrat
We spoke favorably of the bill last week
and the piliful plea which the Democrat
makes in behalf of its own particular county,
has not changed our opinion. We are sat
sied that the committee that prepared this
substitute bill were actua'ed only by the
purest motives, and by an anxious desire to
20 as far as they could with safety in rect
tying the injustice being done many portions
of the State under the present system of APP
portionment And, if, on the first attempt,
this bill per chance does not do the fair thing
by Sonoma county, it is no cause for the
Democrat to denounce the entire bill fraud
The bill is yet amenable to amendment, and
if Sonoma is wronged, let her make the fact
known II rough her representatives, and call
upon them to introduce the proper remedy
After doing this, and after it has been made
clear to the Legislature that such injustice
AS it complains of really exists in the bill
should ID pass then, it would be time for the
Democrat to denounce the bill and the body
that made it a law, but not till then. But l.,
by the way, this howl about injustice to the
agricultural counties is being carried too far
BY this bill the mining counties, almost to a
unit, are deprived of part of their presen
representation; and if what they lose is not
gained by the agricultural counties, will the
Democratplease tell lis where it goes? We
don't pretend that the bill does exact justice
to all, but we do claim that, without CEN
sus for a guide, it takes from the mining
counties, and adds TO the representation of
the agricultural counties as much as thu,
Committee or Legislature are justified in
doing, and keep within reasonable bounds
of safety. Placer, by this bill, loses two
RepresentaNves-on Senator and one As
semblyman. Many other counties lose, and
If Sonolna does not come in fol her share Of
more to n oversight than desire to do hei
an injustice. w are willing to lose what
properly belongs to- others, and willing to
make sacrifice that the wrongs our agricul,
tural counties are suffering may be redressed
And if these wrongs can he iigbted even tc
a limited extent, will it not be better than nc
justice al all We think so, and therefore
we say again, we hope this bill will pass
But we would not debar any amendment
that fairness NAV show To he necessarv
Then let the Democrat pass in her grievan-
ces to the proper body, and not because feel
ing herself individually abused, fall into Tire
common error Of denouncing generally good
measure

AUBURN, FEBRUARY 81, 1874.
CORRECTION.

Many of our exchanges have been pitch
ing into Senator j. Ii. Neff for introducing
bill to establish State Reform School.
We had never received any notice that Mr..
Neff had introduced such bill but numerous
comments in oar exchanges to that effect in
duced us to believe that he had. And, as
the atmosphere is yet impregnated with the
stencil arising from the carcass of the last
elephant in this shape, we felt no inclination
to contribute to another such a useless mon
ster; and as natural consequence we gave
the rumored bill and its supposed author
little jab to remind him of our dspleasure
of such a measure We are now called
upon in justic to Mr. Neff to say that he
has introduced no such a bill, nor to his
knowledge has any such bill been intro
duced. Mr.. Neff has introduced bill to
establish State Prison Reformatory, but
not State Reform School. We have Civ
en- our views on Neff's State Prison Reform
atory bill before. And we say again that
we have no doubts but what some such an
institution would, if rightly managed, be a
good thing. As it is, our State Prison is
overcrowded and confinement therein, in
stead Of having moral effect on the in
mates, rather tends to school the younger
prisoners in all the most horrid crimes and
revolving practices known, and harden their
conscience beyond all redemption. Nothing
seems too low or infamous for these de-
praved, conscience ridden wretches in their
present Pent-up condition. Ribaldry char
acterizes their speech, and sodomy their ac-
tons. The very thought of the scenes en-
acted within those prison walls is revolving
to humanity, as recent testimony proves,
and the fact that something should be done
to relieve their condition, is conclusive.

A GOOD BILL.

Freeman's fare and freight bill is good
But if our Legislature should quit after reg
ulatlng fares and freights, they would leave
part of their work undone. There are mat
sers of almost equal importance on which
legislation is needed that the people may be
thoroughly protected against soulless rail-
roads and other monopoles Our Assem-.
blyman, Hon. VIM. Roush, seems fully
alive to this fact, and has introduced an
"Act concerning railroad tickets" an act
Which is and has been much needed and
which covers the grounds of our present
grievances in that line. The act provides
that "Any ticket, or other evidence of the
payment of passenger fare, issued by any
railroad company in this State, shall entite
Az Io'I - - a~-r +. l.. .-s.,-.e~.,I l. !,

company issuing the same over the route
specified in such ticket, or evidence of the
payment of fare, either ,cay to or from,
and in cars of the class therein named, a.
any time within two years from the date Of
the issuance thereof by such railroad com
pany."
1t also provides that the conveyance Of
the ticket holder over any portion of the
road shall not be deemed as cancellation of
such ticket, except to the extent of such
actual conveyance. And any ticket holder
shall have the right to stop off Or lay over
at any regular station at his or her pleasure,
and afterwards at any time within two years
from the issuance of the ticket resume the
journey in the company's cars. The bill
then goes on to provide the duties of the
passengers in the matter, and what action is
necessary on their part to secure these priv
ileges. and winds up by providing that any
railroad official, who violates the act, shall
be guilty of a misdemeanor, and for every
violation the railroad company shall forfeit
to the person offended the sum of $3.50.

THE PLACER DELEGATION,

Ed HERALD:--
To-day l accidentally picked up a copy Of the
Placer Argus, of the 1lth inst in which / no
ticed letter from this city, signed "Astrolo-
GER who is anything but complimentary to
the members Of your delegation in the Assem-
bly,.
Now, sir, though I represent distant county,
and am politically opposed to the members of
your delegation, have received good treatment
from all of them-feel under many obligations
to one of them-and feel strongly impeed by
gratitude and love of justice to say word
Though it probably will not be needed among
those who know them) in their defense. am
very certain that the almost unanimous voice of
members, correspondents and attaches will
sustain me in the opinion that no delegation
as whole, stands higher than yours as to abili-
ty, integrity and watchful industry Norton is
confessedly the foremost orator in the Assem-
bly,, with whom none of his fellow members
pretend to vie in this respect. He is working
member of seven working committees, and
there is scarcely another member of the Assem-
bly, so frequently and freely applied to for coun-
sci and advice by those having important meas
ures pending or in course of preparation. Mr.
Roush makes no pretensions to oratory: nor
does Mr.. Burt; but ,.thor of them is capable of
.ieaiiy etauhS Ills Posltlon on any measure
IN which he takes an interest, and both of them
are universally esteemed to be among the sound
est and most reliable members of the House
Such men, when d porting themselves honora-
bly, and industiiously to faithful performance of
duty, ought to be proof against the slurs of a
scurrlous scribbler, and hope that the people
of Placer County, no matter what may be their
politics, do not enjoy or endorse such unde-
served filings and inuendoes as were indulged in
by Astrologer. This much l have felt con-
strained to say in defense Of your worthy rep
resentatives, of whom your people have good
reason to be proud. Respectfully,
