''THE country's shame," heads the
leading article in a number of our co.
temporaries of late, and the person
but recently setting foot on these
shores would be justified in the con-
clusion that the great Republic had
but just discovered that the party rul-
ing her affairs for the past fifteen
years was made up of knaves and ras-
Gals who We'd with each other in the
task of trying which could steal the
most. This is mistake. The virtuous
spasm which is just now disturbing
the happiness of great many Repub-
licap journals is likely to lead the
new conner into error. This stealing
is no new thing. 1t has been going
on for eight years at least, and what
is more the papers now bemoaning
"the country's shame" were as well
aware of the fact during GRANTS
first term as now. 1t is the exposure
the Democrats are making that is pro-
ducing the rattling among the dry
bones.

He was teaching lessons of cowardice,
but the very reverse is true. None
but the bravest man can keep this
command, for it requires far more
courage to turn the other cheek than
it does to knock man down. All his
teachings were to keep and not to alb
rogate or break the law. 1t seems to
be a hobby with nine-tenths of what
is called the progressive element in
this mushroom growth of the nine
teenth century to consider all the
former ages barbarians. In their es-
timation they are so far superior to
every race that has gone before that
they would not only abrogate old
laws, but institute new code
of morals and throw away the
old Bible. But we notice that those
nations whose God is the Lord, and
whose laws are nearest like the Code
given to Moses, have the least crime
and are the happiest peoples, the
howlers to the contrary notSith-
standing. These fanatics would
make great show of refinement
and mercy in dealing out the penal
tics of the law. But to whom would he
be merciful? Not to the poor helpless
women, who are beaten and whipped
like so many dogs, until their backs
are lacerated and bloody, but to these
inhuman brutes that do these things
they would be very tender-put them
in confinement and feed them at the
expense of the hard working civil peo-
pie. We say, give them stripe for
stripe, until they learn what virtue
there is in the lash. To those editors.
divines, and law makers, who imag
ined that Christ abrogated the law of
retaliation, we would make this re-
mark: If he intended to abolish the
law by the text we have quoted (and
there is no other text like it) by par
| ity of reasoning we must not only
| turn the other cheek when a man
smites us on one, but if a man COM

man to go and kill another-if he
whips his wife, tell him to whip anoth-
er woman. The idea is insane, and yet

SACRAMENTO, March 25th. = The
consideration of the Governors veto
of Senate bill establishing keeper of
the State capitol and State capitol
grounds was taken up i'm mediately
upon the opening of the days session.
The roll was called and the Senate
sustained the veto by vote of IL ayes

blow that retrenchment has received
this session.
McConnelPs bill repeating that por-
tion of the Code which created State
Board of Equalization, was taken up

McCoppin reported from the special
committee appointed to investigate
the notorious Ellis tide-land grab in
San Francisco. The findings of the
committee were that the claimant
Ellis had not the slightest title to the
land in question, and that the State
Board of Tide Land Commissioners
were grossly negligent of their duties
and that their action in the Ellis mat

Wife Beaters.

Some of our people are blubbering
because Senator RoACH's bill to pun
ish wife beaters at the public whip
ping post has become law. We are
sorry to see them take it so hard.
There are thirty odd States, however,
that they can emigrate to if this law
Expresses them. We have no doubt
there will be considerable exodus of
wife beaters from this State very
soon. We can bear the departure of
all such with great Christian forti-
tude. OF all the crimes that men are
guilty, of there are none so dastardly
and cruel as that of beating an unfor-
tunate woman who has committed
her destiny into the hands of such
wretch. The gallows, the whipping
post, or the rack is none too good Tor
such brutes. We have no sympathy
with that class of maudlin humanita-
rians who are forever howling and
crying over the just punishment of
the poor criminal, which serves no
other purpose than to encourage the
vicious and evil minded in the COM
mission of crime. What the world
needs most is law to prevent crime
and to accomplish this we doubt if
there will ever be one made superior
to that given to Moses-"An eye for
an eye and a tooth for tooth.n This
law emanated from Heaven, and is the
embodiment of wisdom and mercy.
There is no law so merciful as one
that prevents crime, and there will
never be one equal to this to deter
avil-doers. But we are told that
Christ abrogated this law: Mathew
v.xxxviii and xxxvix. Not so. Christ
was not speaking to Legislators, nei-
ther did he design to convey'the idea
that this law was to be repealed. eye
have heard it said, an eye for an eye,
&c. But say unto you, that ye re-
sist not evil, but whosoever shall
smite thee on thy right cheek, turn 10
him thy left Also" 1t was individual
conduct of which he was speaking,
and not the punishment of crime by
legal process. Men in those days, as
they do now, were in the habit of TAX
ing the law into their own hands, and
if slapped upon the cheek they would
smIte back again. The foolish idea
prevailed then, as now, that a mans
honor was at stake if he failed to re.
sent an insult, and it was to abolish
this code of honor that the language
above was used. This command COM
pletely upset the prevailing idea of
what was chivalric and honorable.

Attorney General, with instructions
of the Senate that he take the proper
legal action to remove the cloud COW
ering the title of the property un-
clouded in tue deed made to said
Ellis. The resolution was adopted.
The Senate bill reducing fees and
salaries in the county of San Diego
came up in the Assembly messages,
and on motion of Satterwhite, who
took occasion to place himself upon
the record as fulfilling the pledges
made to his constituents, the substi-
tute of the Assembly making the bill
take effect in = years, was concurred
in by the Senate.
The bill creating the 22d Judicial
District passed the Assembly to-day
and has gone to the Governor His
EXcellency is known to be strongly in
favor of the bill, so it will be approved
without further delay. This new Ju-
dicial District is composed of the
counties of Marin, Mendocino and So
noma, thereby dividing the 7th Judi
cial District, now composed of six of
the largest and most populOus c0un-
ties of the State. The Judge of that
district has been almost unable to dis
charge the onerous duties imposed
upon him, and the action of the Leg
islature is recognized as great relief.
Ex-Supreme Judge Jackson Temple,
of Sonoma, will in all likelihood re-
ceive the appointment of Judge of the
district.
The Assembly bill fixing the COM
pensation of the Assessor of Los An
geles county for the collection of tax
ON personal property was passed
under a suspension of the rules.
Assembly-Upon re-assembling the
House proceeded with the considera-
tion of the Assembly bill in relation
to public buildings. The bill making
an appropriation of $4,000 for the
construction of building for the
Deaf, Dumb and Blind Institution
was passed
The bill providing for the compile
tion of the branch prison at Folsom
caused debate which was only
brought to close by motion calling
the previous question. The ayes and
noes were called and the bill was or
dered engrossed by vote of 81 ayes
to 2l noes.

instructing our Senators and Repre-
sentatives to advocate the passage of
law by Congress giving to the Cen
tral and Southern Pacific Railroads
scrip on lands in lieu of lands now
claimed by them under the acts of
Congress making grants of lands to
said railroads: provided, that they sur
render all right and title to such lands
so granted.
The Assembly bill amending section
1866 of the Code of Civil Procedure by
allowing administrators to take pre-.
cedence over creditors in the settle
ment of estates of deceased persons,
was passed by vote of 40 ayes to 80
noes, Mcconnell strongly advocating
the passage of the bill.
The greater portion of the afternoon
was taken up in the consideration of
the bill making appropriations for Inn
provements to the old and the erection
of new State buildings. Pending the
discussion the House took a recess
until 7:30.

In this country, as general thing, these in
