Ed. News: For the first time since
the arrival OF your correspondent In
this "neck Of woods" has the sun put
In an appearance. The lawyers OF San
Francisco are e%ndeavorlng to have a
bill passed through the Legislature to
remove the Supreme Court to San
Francisco, on account, As they allege,
Of the Intense heat In Summer, and
they have had the Immense cheek TO
send q printed circular to all the mem.
bers OF the bar OF Sacramento, asking
their aid and assistance In procuring
the passage Of the bill providing for
such removal. Now, lawyers, rs n
class, are the last men who should
complain OF intense heat, for u Is es-
sential to men Of the legal persuasion
that they should be- acclimated here, In
order to be able to stand the Intense
heat hereafter. While the Justices Of
the Court. a majority Of whom reside
In San Francisco or Oakland. favor
this move. the outside pressure on tho
part OF the sacramento Bar, and tho
sacramento men and women And the
latter are immense ia too great to
admit Of any probability Of Its passage.

of California would be IN unfortunate
locality for the sect OF fire worshippers,

respectable parents" Slelghs were
hauled forth from housings Of year.,

order Of the day. and veteran gray
boards became boys again, aud IT,

Legislative misdemeanor, reported In
