IMPORTANT DECISIONS.

The Supreme Court of the State have re-
Gently rendered several very important de-
cisions. Besides the decision declaring the
election of Newman unauthorized by law,
thew have decided in the case of Ward VS..
Flood that all children, regardless of rae or
color, have legal right to attend as pu-
pills, and receive instruction at the public
schools in this State They decide that the
act of the Legislature provi ing for the
maintenance OF separate schools for the ed
ucation of African and Indian children is
not obnoxious to the Constitution. But de-
clare that unless such separate schools are
provided, then such children have legal
right to resort to schools where white Gill
dren are instructed, and cannot be legally
excluded. This is bitter dose. But as
the gag has be III thrust between our jaws,
we see no way but to swallow. This result,
brought about by radical predominance,
may be in unison with the sentiments of
majority of the people of the United States,
but we doubt it, Wallace, Crockett, Niles,
and McKinstry concurred in the decision.
The Supreme Court also decided that the
extra compensation received by different
State officers, for services as members of
the State Board of Examination, is cons'i
tutiona and just. They take the ground
that extra duties cannot be exacted from an
officer without extra compensation. This
decision will stop the immense waste of INK
and paper that has been expended on this
subject, and effectually quiet the accusation
that Gov Booth is back-pay grabber,

TIMBER LANDS.

ton passed, asking Congress to grant to the
State the timber lands Of the United States
within the bounds of California. This was op-
posed by some as being in the interest of Cali
fornia land-grabbers.
An Assembly concurrent resolution to Con-
gress to allow these same lands to be pre-empt-
ed and made the subjects of homesteads has
passed both houses. Congress will be like the
ass between the bundles of hay, and likely re-
main, as did the ass, immovable.

Senate the power, so far as it could grant it, of

Mr., Northcutt has introduced an act granting
