900 more than was anticipated, but the
fault, if any, lies in the ordering of the
work before correct data or estimate OF
the expense was made, and that error is
one Of Judgment, in which the two last
Legislatures share. Bills have been in
troduced to settle the boundaries between
Shasta and Tehama counties to trans
fer certain funds in Del Norte county;
concerning roads and highways in Del

A lovely mo trade" party, angelic COM
pany of saints is this Dolly ring. In
Sacramento there is nice little fight 60
ing on. The City Board of Education is
Republican in majority, and has admit
ted negro children to the Grammar
school. The newly elected City Supt. is
Democrat and hates the "nigger "
worse than poison. The board has order
ed teachers to admit these youngsters
without the uperintendent's certificate,
and he has issued a command to the
" schoolmaams " to exclude the darkies
The Board says, IF you do, we will dis
charge you;" the Superintendent de-
clares, " If you don't, III refuse to certify
your salary warrants" Between these
two the poor pedagogues are in a bad fix,

1t was presumed the auti-raiIroad mem
bers were thoroughly posted and prepared
with facts and proofs OF cXtortion and un-
just discrimination on the part of the

ever, for yesterday Freeman in the As
sembly offered resolution which passed
inviting individuals and newspapers to
furnish the House with proofs Of extor-
tiOn and unfair discrimination by the
railroad thus literally advertising for
facts of which they declared they were
possessed before election. The railroad
men are jubilant over this movement and
openly call for facts and proofs. Many
cocoanut has been before cracked and
found mlkless. The great mass of
the charges made during the late cam

nations, which the letter of Stanford and
the report Of the Chamber Of Commerce
show to have been the result of CONNER

States Senate to confirm the appointment
of General Geo. Crook, the Indian fighter,
as Brigadier General. Cook is deserv-
ing of the honor, but unfortunately when
he was promoted there was no vacancy as
was supposed, and have it from an army

out four pamphlets filled with amend
ments, which, if passed, will necesstate
a reprint of at least two volumes of the
Codes, that of Civil Procedure and the
Civil Code. SCHNEIDER.
