Of resolutions in the Assembly ms long as

field for debate and spread eagle ebuIli-
tions on both sides | present a synopsis
preserving dU the points Nc seeks to
make.
Preamble. Duty Of the State to watch
the Federal Government that it does not
transcend etc.
ReSolved, The Fed deral Government is
one Of limited powers, aud can do nothing
beyond the limits of express grants made
by the State.
ReS0iUed, That the Louisiana Legisla-
ture was invaded by Federal bayonets,
and Phil. Sheridan, a criminal, set on by
Federal authority to do his worst acts.
ReSoiUed Credit Mobilier, Indian
Ring, District of Columbia Ring, Whisky
Ring shows the administration to be cor
rupt. mot word about the fact that it
is that same administration which un-
earthed and is now prosecuting ring
thieves and that the head Of the admins

man escape."l

further tampering with the Constitu-
ton, that sacred etc., ETC., and "we "
pledge ourselves for 1.-THE Constitution
as ii is.
ReSOIOed, Opposed to division of school
funds. Favors amendments to State or
ganic law to prevent any division Of the
school fund from its legitimate destina
tion, to aid in any sectarian education.
[ Not original, John.l
ResotUed, Church property to be taxed

has nothing to do with it. 1T never pro-
posed to have.l
ResOtOed, Every body should labor to
keep religious and political questions
apart.
Resotved, Hard money the best. Con-
gress has no power 10 make any but gold
and silver money legal tender. The
legal tender act Of 1862 unconstitutional
and but for the reorganization OF the Su-
preme Court and its decision the country

FISH AND THE CHINESE.

Another good step taken by the Assem-
bly, yesterday looks to the establishment
of permanent committee on fish and
fisheries. When it is remem bered that
the Chinese catch, dry and export 81, ,000,-
600 worth of small fish annually, aud pay
not one cent to the State, while it con
stantly expends money to stock its waters
with choice varieties, it is no longer
question for hesitancy. Beyond this in
netting" they take millions of "small
fry" and leave them to rot upon the bay
shores. AT this rate we will soon have
no fish in the market. Then too, the law
for protecting fish ''out Of season." is so
persistently disregarded by the river fish
ermen that something must be done to
protect the State industry. The fishery
business of California is worth 81, 200, 900
annually now, and in years will rise to
$50, ,O0O, 600, employing 10000 persons, if
only we can throw proper guards about
the business.

was to refer the ELLIS Grab" so called,

Commissioners it is alleged, for a mere
