The AMENDMENTs.-T Atd Cdi-
Jo'mio in speaking of the Raymond bill
for the submission of the Amendments
to the people, asks if the course of Gov
ernor Irwin in pocketing the bill Kills
the amendments, or can the people vote
upon and adopt them any way. We
should say neither way. The Constitu
ton, in the article "Amendments" SAYS
sit shall be the duty of the Legislature
to submit such proposed amendment or
amendments to the people, in such man
ner and ut such time rs the Legislature
shall prescribe" The time and manners
OF submitting the proposed amendments
were undoubtedly embodied in Hay
mond's bill and as that failed to become
law the amendments cannot be voted
for in legal manner, even if the Gov
ernor should submit them n his procla-
nation. But the amendments are not
lost. A precedent has been established
which will undoubtedly be followed
The Legislature of 1865 proposed an
amendment to the Constitution providing
that the Legislature shall have no power
to make an appropriation of money for
any purpose whatever for longer period
than two years. The Legislature of
1867 ratified this amendment, but no wav
provided for submitting it to the people
and it was not voted on :hen. The Leg
lslature of 1869 passed an enabling act
similar to that by which the changes
made to the Constitution in 1862 were
submitted and at the general election in
1871 the amendment was voted on and
adopted, and is now part of the Consti-
tuition. If that course was legal in refer
ence to one amendment we see no reason
why 1t should not be equally SO to any
other amendments proposed, and the ones
ratified by the two last Legislatures sub
mlIteq under an enabling act passed by
the Legislature which will be elected in
1877.

Hon. E. j. LEWIS, has been in town
the most OF the past week. He will re-
turn to San Francisco in n few days and
resume his place on the Chinese Investi-
CATION Committee. 1t the Colonel could
carry out his feelings in this Chinese
matter the pig tailed gentry would soon
be as scarce us hens teeth on this Coast.
-,SeHtuiei.
Would it not be more consistent for
the Colonel to manifest his feelings" by
removing the plague from his own house
hold Perhaps he could then be more
confidently expected to act upon his fa.
yo:lto theory that "ths is a white man,
country" Were he to dispense with the
Chinese servants of both sexes now in
his employ, people would have some con-
hdence in the pipings of his toady organs.
and faint glimmer of hone that he
would represent them faithfully on the
Chinese Investigation Committee. -

AGGRESSIVE MEAsUREs.-Thc citizens
OF Antioch, Contra Costa county, took
summary method Of abating the Chinese
nuisance. 1t having been discovered by
the medical men of the place that num-
Der OF boys had been diseased and ruined
for life by the solicitation of Chinese pros.
titutes, the citizens of the town gathered
together, talked the subject over and then
went in body and notified the offending
Chinese that they must leave-thaC at 2
O'Clock that day-that upon no consider
alton would they be permitted to remain
IN the town another night. The heather
took hasty counsel among themselves
and came To the conclusion to obey the
order, and the steamer at the appointed
hour bore them away. None were per-
mitted to remain but few gardeners and
Others known to be industrious and honest.
1t is probable that these too will soon fol-
low, as public sentiment is averse to en-
poying them, and where public senti-
ment takes this direction il cannot tail to
nave an appreciable effect. We are sorry
70 add that the moderate spirit in which
the matter was begun did not mark the
end. That night some of the rasber mart
OF the citizens, learning that the Chinese
had not all departed, set fire to the town
and reduced it to ashes.

A NEW departure in matters religious
is chronicled by the Sar Francisco pa
pers. A Jewish Rabbi held forth from a
Christian pulpit Sunday evening to a
mixed congregation. In his discourse lie
said
"Let their be no union between Church
and State, but let each work IN Its own
sphere. Let them preserve and watch
over the common schools. The pubic
schools of America are the arsenalS of
liberty. We want no sectarlan schoo's'
but let our children grow up as Amef'-
cans. imbued with sentiments OF patriot
ism and liberation. In this Centennial
year let all renew their allegiance lei
all stand firm in the doctrines OF freedom
and human rights never surrender 'he
principles handed down by the Father o'
our country"

OVERRIDING IT.-In the minds OF some
people, there is now no douot that the
Democratic majority in Congress has
completely overdone the investigation
business. True. it has unearihed some
of the peccadllloes of Secretary Belknap's
wife, and thereby furnished material for
endless chapters Of scandal, but it has also
buried one of its idols, Geo. II. Pendle-
ton. under a landslide of ignominy. 1t
has SO industriously stirred up the
cess-pool of scandal that scandal-lovlng
public have at length became nauseated
with the mess, and people generally are
beginning to settle down into the opinion
that possibly there are no rogues in exist
ence, or if there are then all men are ras-
calls. The story OF the boy and the wolf
is being repeated. Wolf wolf ~ has
been so frequently howled that people
either do not believe there is n wolf in
existence, or do not care if the land is
filled with wolves.
For time it seemed very nice for the
Democrats TO get up hue and cry against
prominent members OF the national ad-
ministration, but when, amid the general
clatter, it was found that the Pendletons,
the Thurmans, and the Tildens, and so
forth, were getting badly smirched, the
peasaatness of the business was not so
apparent. And when hardened Black
Republican insinuated that the great
apostle Of Democracy, Thos. Jefferson,
had fraudulently counted himself into
the Presidency, the miseries Of the scan
dal stencil became painfully apparent to
those who had started the game.
The Demnoratio howl about corruption
and pecuiation among officials, without
the ability tc convict any one OF an offense
is about us foolish as is the other partisan
yell about rebels and traitors when the
legal records of the nation do not give
proof of the existence of such class OF
offenders. -jSacrdmento Bee.

TALK UP Your TowN THE follow
ing, from the Tehama Tocsii,, is good
for any latitude: Talk up your town :"
may be good as far as it goes, but with
out some substance to build up your town
will not amount to a row of pins. When
you talk up your town do not, when you
wish to erect buildings, give preference
to mechanics from abroad, and in short
time be compelled to employ home me-
chanics to repair imperfect work. When
you talk up your town do not send abroad
Cor plows and other machinery, when YOU
nave your own mechanics here who are
able and willing to produce as good arti-
cles at home. Do not send hundreds of
dollars abroad 1or ready made clothing
and the same amount for boots and shoes,
and let your men lay idle for want of EN-.
ployment. Do not send abroad for do.
mestic articles when the same is made I'm

made abroad and drive your cabinet
makers out of business. Do not take a
newspaper from abroad and refuse to
take your home papers. Patronize and
keep at home every mechanic and trades
man. Also, remember that the China
man Is the root of all evil.

THANKS to Senator Sargent the United
States Senate has at last become awaken
ed to the necessity of taking action in re-
latlon to Chinese immigration. Senators
are now beginning TO concede the neces-
slty OF doing something in the premises,
but pecisey what to DO done is the qus,-
ton. Senator Sargent suggests that not
more than ten Chinese shall be allowed
to land from any vessel. Such measure
would diminish the quantity of Chinese
immigration. 1t will hardly serve to
cure the evil, however; though perhaps
for all practical purposes it may be the
best thing that can at present be devised

FROM THE BLACK HILLs.-Chas. Hall,
an old resident and miner in this county,
returned from the Black Hills TO this
county on Sundays Stage, and informs
us that the Black Hills mining excite
ment is the biggest fraud out. There are
two or three claims there, that by the
most improved methods can be made to
pay. A company Of eight, of which he
was one, after prospecting around took
up Il claim and gave it trial. lie show
ed us his share and another partners to-
gether of the gold they took oIt and it
looked to be about 81 80 worth which
would make about So 90 between the
eight. Upon realizing this immense
amount they pulled up stakes and left.
Mr.. Hall says that there are as many
returning from the Black Hills every
day as there are going, and yet it no use
trying TO stop them on tho rond, as they
won't believe anything told them and
are bound to go in and see for themselv-
es. Custar City is the principal town
near the mines and is about 270 miles
from Cheyenne. Everything is at 40
prices at the mines.
We have also seen n letter from Isaac
l.. Baker who started from this city for
the Black Hills several weeks ago. The
letter is dated at Cheyenne, and Ike says
he is not going into the mines MS he is
convinced they are fzzle of the worst
kind. lie has started back toward.
home and he is expected here every day.
Since the above was written, Ike return
ed on yesterdays stage Yreko Unton.
