This is the last Legislative action
upon the Commissioner bill, except
the adoption or rejection by each
House of the report of the Conference
Committees upon the amendment.
The committee of the Assembly, Nc
Kenna, Archer and Scrivener, were
the warmest supporters of the Archer
bill, and of the obnoxious five per
cent. clause. The result of the Con-
| ference is not even to be guessed at.
The fate of the bill is plunged in
greater doubt than before, for dis
agreement will result in the death of
the bill. This legislative deadlock is
not of frequent occurrence, but when
it does happen, it is sure to result dis
astrously for the subject matter under
consideration.
The Assembly met at 10 A. NJ.
Hayne introduced bill to empower
and give authority to the county Of
Santa Barbara to aid in the construc-
ton of railroad within its limits.
The General Appropriation bill was
then considered. Considerable reduc-
tion was made in the appropriation
for the contingent expenses of State
officers. They were cut down on an
average of 80 per cent. An appropri-
alton of 5000 was made to pay for
the present and future Indebtedness
for listing bonds from the United
States to the State.
The bill apportioning the expense of
the Vasuuez trial between the coun-
ties of San Benito and Monterey was
refused engrOssment.
Pierce's bill Incorporating the city
of San Diego was passed.
Mcconnell introduced q bill to pre-
scribe the fees of the District Attorney
of Los Angeles county in cases of con-
viction.
The O'Connor Commissioner bill
coming up in the Senate message, the
Assembly refused to recede from its
five per cent. amendment by vote of
3S ayes to 80 noes. Accordingly the
Speaker appointed Archer, McKenna
and Scrivener a Committee of Confer
ence on the part of the Assembly.
The bill appropriating money for
the benefit of the agricultural socie-
ties within the State was indefinitely
postponed.
The bill appropriating money to pay
the Indebtedness of the State Agricul-
tural Society WAS passed by vote of
Al ayes to l9 noes, the representatives
from the Southern counties voting no.
Speaker Carpenter then took the
floor and gave notice that he would
on tomorrow move a reconsideration
of the vote by which the House on
this day refused to recede from its
amendments to the O'C0nnor bill.
The intention of Mr.. Carpenter is evil
IDENTIFY to bridge the difficulty occa-
stoned by the jar between the Senate
and Assembly, and to obviate all ac-
tion by the conference committees,
which in any case is likely to have
the result of killing the bill. The vote
by which the Assembly refused to re-
cede from its amendment was so close
that single vote would have made a
difference in favor of receding. None
but the most radical now speak of not
receding. The vote tomorrow may
show a result in favor of the bill.
The Santa Barbara railroad bill was
taken up at late hour and passed by
a large majority. X.

THE custom of issuing passes to
Tom, DICK and HARRY, and eve ry
other individual who sets himself up
as somebody of so much Importance
that he should not pay for riding, is
one which would be beneficial to rail-
road comr.snies if more honored in
the oreach than the observance. Nine
tenths of those now waging bitter war
fare on the railroads of this State are
men who have carried railroad passes
and used them from the building of
the roads up to few mo nths ago, land
In the fact that the company refused
to renew those passes exists the cause
for their enmity toward the railroads.
If the Central Pacific had not Cancelled
CoHEN's pass tina gentleman would
now be one of / is warmest friends.
We venture to say that if the COM
pany would speak they could name
scores of men now figh ting them who
have travelled thous inds of miles on
their roads and never paid cent. We
could mention minister or two
whose hatred of railroad monopolies"
was born of refusal by the com pany
to chalk their hats.

Our Assemblyman.

General MCCONNELL is always lew
el-headed and right on all PROPOSE
tions. In the debate on the bill re-
ducing the salaries of State officers he
used the following language:
''The safe medium was that adopted in late
years by the English Pariameni-that of cut
ting off sinecure officers, but allowing fair
pay TO those who were doing good work. The
bill might well have been styled IAN Act to
establish poor-house al the Capital 1t had
been passed in the Senate on the principle
that men should accept the State offices for
the purpose of making anything more than
mere livelihood"
And the bill was defeated.

Marrow Escape Of Those on Board.


We learn from Jbe Free Press, that dur
ing the violent gale Of Saturday afternoon,
the schooner "Gen. Butler" of Isle La
Motto, loaded with stone, was sunk near
the breakwa,cr. Her passengers were Ecr
captains William Mon'gomeryj a sailor
Mr.. i. X. Goodsell a daughter of the cap
tain and lady friend of hers, all Of Isle Ia
Motto. When iclring the north end of
breakwaicr shortly after noon, the schotn-
er's wheel gave way and the vessel began to
drift at the mercy of The winds and waves.
She was then slowly driven southwark, out
eide the breakwaer, until short distance

The General Statutes require the secretary

general ASSEMBLY to designate forTpubli-

some one hundred and nine acts, passed by

of them to a certain firm to be printed and
slips furnished to the several newspapers

A PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL CONvEN
TON

The constitution of the United States
makes it obligatory on congress, on the ap-
plcation of the Legislatures of two-thirds
of the states, to call convention for pro-
posing amendments thereto; and Senator
Ingalls,, Of Kansas, has introduced joint
resolution setting up that it sis apparent
that there are important defects in the
"sys.em Of the federal government which
render the situation of the United States
. at this time delicate and critical, and,
therefore, recommending to the legislatures
of the several states TO apply to congress
without delay to call such convention.
His resolutions declare the opinion of
congress to be, that convention of dele
ga'es from the several states should be held,
at Columbus, Ohio, on the second Monday
IN May, 1877, "for the sole aud express
purpose of revising the constitution of
the United States and reporting such al
teralions and amendments in the nature
"ot an entire instrument" which, when
rallied as provided in the constitution.

CRONIN VERSUS WATTS,

The home contest over the Oregon pres-
identisl electors seems to have degenerated
into question of veracity between the
rival claimants, The regular college insist
ing that Cronin refused to exhibit or read
to them the executive certificate of elect
ion, and that he distinctly refused to act
with them; while, On the other hand, Gro
min insists that he did exhibit and read IN
their hearing, the executive certificate, and
that they-Olell ard Cartwright-une-
quiyocallY refused to act with him, Cronin.
We take it that It is not a matter of much
importance whether Cronin ref lsed to act
with Cart wright and Odell, or whether it
was Cartwright and Odell, who re-
fured to act with Cronin so long as
neither party refused to &C. as presiden-
tial elector. The statements of both par
ties-and we take ii that the official record
is to the same effects that each and every
of Cartwright, Odell and Cronin-
not only claimed to be presidential elect
or, but that each undertook 10 perform the
functions of such elector, not only at the
same time but in the same room. 1t does
not appear afiirmatvely, or even by impli-
cation, from the statement of either, that
there was such "refusal to act as would
have constituted vacancy, and one which
the other electors were authorized TO fil.
Conceding for the sake of the argu-
ment, that CTo in was duly elected,
how absurd it is to hold that mere
minority of one could declare the

polntment-and then proceed, they remain
