WASHINGTON, Aug. IL

WASHINGTON, Aug. Is.
Following is the record of the ses-
sion's work Of the Pacific coast Sena-
tors and Representatives, so far as In
Dictated by the fate or present condi-
tons of measures they respectively in
PRODUCED:
Sargenl's bills: Fixing time for hold
ing courts in California. Oregon and
Nevada; granting a site for the Lick
Observatory; re%linquishing Govern
ment title to a part of the Preside re
serve; and extending the donation of
the Alabama Claims Commission, have
passed both Houses and become laws.
His bills confirming the title to San
Jose Pueblo lands, and granting
the Northern Railroad Company right
of way through the Benicia reserva-
ton have passed the Senate but re-
manned at the adjournment on the
Speakers table of the House. His two
resolutions directing inquiry into Pa
cific railroad matters, were adopted by
the Senate and resulted in bills being
reported and recommended for passage
by the Judiciary Committee requiring
the Pacific railroad companies TO Great
a sinking fund for the repayment of
their Indebtedness to the Government,
and providing for the enforcement of
the law opening To settlement, at 81 20
per acre, all rail way lands not sold
within three years from the completion
Of the road. His resolution for the
modification OF the Buriingame treaty,
and his speeches exhibiting the real
character and influence of the Mongo-
liam immigration, secured an order for
thorough Senatorial investigation of
the Chinese question as a basis for
further action next winter, until which
time his bill limiting the number of
Mongolians admissible on any one
vessel, therefore goes over. His bill,
amendatory of the Bankrupt law, also
goes over, awaiting investigation of the
subject, as proposed by the Senate Ju-
dietary Committee. His bill to repeal
the law establishing a collection dis
trict in Alaska was indefinitely post
poned. His amendment of laws relat-
ing to legal tender OF silver coin was
partially Incorporated in the measure
reported from the Finance Committee,
which is still pending in the Senate cal
endar.
The following bills, introduced by
Sargent, remain in Senate committees
unreported: To restore forfeited land
grants to the public domain; for the
construction a new PostOfice at a
Francisco; to encourage telegraphic
communication with Asia; to organize
the Lighthouse service; to create Santa
Monica a port of delivery; and u bill
for the relief of former occupants of

THAT

We are sorry to see that the Senate
has manifested a disposition to bubble
over the proposed amendment to the
Federal Constitution regarding the
school question. The House met the
issue squarely and passed the amend
ment in the most liberal form, exclud-
ing every character of religious influ-
ence from the public schools. This
did not suit the Senate, and that body
promptly, and by the very decisive
vote of 36 to 10, tackled on a provision
which admits Of the reading of tho
Bible in all public institutions of learn.
ing. Following is the full ext Of the
amendment rs finally adopted by the
Senate:
Resolved, BY the Senate and House
Of Representatives, that no State shall
make any law respecting an establish
ment of religion or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof, and no religious
test shall be required rs q qualification
to any Office of public trust under any
State; no public property and no pub
lie revenue, nor any loan Of credit BY
or under authority of the United
States or any State. Territory, dis.
trict or municipal corporation shall be
appropriated to or made or used for
the support of any school, educa-
tional or other institution under con-
troll of any religious sect, organization
or denomination, or wherein any par
ticular creed or tenets of any religious
or anti religious sect, organization or
denomination shall be taught, and nc
such particular creed shall be read or
taught in any school or institution
supported in whole or in part by such
revenue or lOan of credit. and no such
appropriation or oar of credit shall
be made to any religious or anti-relig-
iOus sect, organization or denOmina-
ton, or to promote its interests or
tenets. This article shalt not be con-
sidered to prohibit the reading Of the
Bible in any school or institution, and
it shall not have tie effect to impair
the rights of property already vested.
SEC. 2. Congress shall have power,
by appropriate legislation, to provide
for the prevention and punishment Of
violations Of this article.
We confess that we are not favorably
impressed with the Bible doctrine in
corporated by the Senate. 1t amounts,
in fact, to no settlement of the question
at all. There are different styles of
Bibles, and under TIE Senate amend.
ment each sect may claim the right to
introduce its particular edition. The
better way would have been % exclude
them all, as contemplated by the
House, leaving all religious teaching
to the home circle and the churches.
This would have been the fair thing
towards all denominations, and the
proposition would have thus been
placed in a light to elicit the warmest
appreciation of the entire country. Let
us have free, anti.sectarian schools,
pure and simple, without Biblical in
structions of whatever nature. The
fireside, the churches and the Sunday
Schools are the proper places for i'm
parting religious teachings, and he
who favors any other method is him.

II to see what the matter was with him
when she suddenly threw up her
hands and fell on the walk. The man
was found to be dead, and the roman
died a few moments after. She lived
long enough togive her name as Sarah
Sloan; and II has been ascertained that
the man, who was going by the adopted
name of Brown, had been DESTROYS for
sometime OF marrying her, and had
threatened her life in case Of refusal.
Last night he called for her to take a
walk with him. She went out and
what occurred while they we're out has

CAMPAIGN LIES.-The Phoebe Record
makes the following truthful allusion:
1t is amusing to read the monstrous
assertions made by a portion of the
partisan press relative to the issues of
the present campaign. A Republican
stump speaker in Iowa recently as
sured his hearers that Missouri has is
sued to every former owner of slaves
in.that State a certificate Of $1,000 for
each slave em~ancipated, payable when
the General Government will allow the
same, and that the total balance Of these
emancipated -slavesis now estimated as
q part of Missouri's Slate debt. Some
Iowa people wrote to the Governor Of
Missouri to inquire about this business,
aud both he and the Secretary of State
denounco the assertion as base and un-
q%uslifedly false. Yet the lie goes on
its way and serves the purpose for
which 1t Was originally intended.
