The immortal John.

True craftsmanship always regards
the future results of political measures
more than the present. The plea OF
precedent is considered of value only
when the general welfare is observed.
True statesmanship always rightly un-
derstands that good government is the
result of popular and anti-popular
principles blended together, rather
than the mere ascendency Of either,
whose aim therefore is to prevent
either from going too far, and to throw
its weight into the lighter scale. 1t
discards all indifferentism to measures
vital to the prosperity of the nation.
If ever there was time when such
craftsmanship should assert Itself,
now is that time in American politics.
Leaving the general question of ma
tional politics at rest, the fact that
centers in our State legislation, and
demands the greatest consideration is
the control and management of our
Chinese population. No one can be
blind to the fact that this population
. is fast becoming an almost unbearable
incubus upon our State. Under the
existing policy the future holds out no
relief. When John begins to under
stand the rights and privileges at
tendant upon naturalization, that it
opens the doors of civil Office and
g public schools to him, with his
keeh perception of mind, he will not
be slow to improve to his own advan-
tage said rights and privileges. With
his clanish disposition he will not
brook dictation. If he does, design
ing politicians will use him for their
own base purposes, which will be
equally as bad as to permit John to
act for himself. Having the freedom
.of emigration, which the Burlin-
game Treaty affords, China can empty
on our shores forty millions and not
miss them from her teeming popula-
tion. Having little or no sympathy
with our institutions, and being true
to the instincts of self interest, this
class will have little regard for aught
else than for those measures which
s0bserves its own we'll being. 1t were
betterin view of these facts to arrest
this tide Of emigration, even though
it be at the expense of a depleted COM
merce; for what are few dollars put
in the individual pocket, and put
there by a policy that will prove so
disastrous in the end, to the true pros
perity of an entire State or nation?
II the United States has drawn an ele-
phant in the shape of John Chinaman
by this treaty, it is not right to stake
him out in California, or in any other
State where his presence so initiates
against our welfare. To remedy an
evil brought about by short-sighted
policy is always legitimate and obli-
gatory upon the agency producing it.

legislative Proceedings.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 4th.-In the SEN
ate yesterday the bill providing for
the deficiency in the appropriations
for the State Normal School was fully
discussed and re-committed to the
Committee on Finance, with instruc-
tions to bring in n general deficiency
bill.
The special order with reference to
the Joint resolution on the change of
route of the Southern Pacific railroad
and abandonment of the portion be-
tween Tres Pinos, in San Benito, and
Goshen, in Tulare county, was dis
cussed at considerable length. Lewis,
of Tehama, and PiersOn, of San Fran
cisco, supported the claims of the rail-
road, and Lindsey, of Tulare, and
Laine, of Santa Clara, opposed. The
latter made a powerful speech of two
hours duration in reply to Lewis,
opening up the whole railroad ques-
tion, and maintaining that the corpo-
ration utterly disregarded the law. So
damaging was the debate to the COM
pany that the Record UniOn'S report
to-day passed it over The debate was
adjourned, on division, to Tuesday, by
friends of the railroad time to reply to
LANES argument. Bush voted with
Lindsey, and Graves and Satterwhite
with Lewis.
In the Assembly, yesterday, consid.
erable time was taken pin discussing
the report of the Committee on At
taches, favoring retrenchment. 1t was
shown that the expenses of the House
for January Were considerably in eX-
cess of those of the same month two
years ago. The report was adopted.
A debate occurred on the action of
the Committee on Commerce and
Navigation with regard to the late in
quiry into the unseawOrthiness of YES
sells. Mr.. Pullen wanted to extend
the investigation to the steamers lost
during the past year, and all vessels
sailing to and from San Francisco.
The resolution failed so far as the lost
vessels were concerned, and on motion
of Archer the Committe were required
to report the result of their previous
investigations and present a memorial
to Congress on the subject.
Hayne introduced bill providing
for the transfer Of certain court papers
of Santa Barbara and Ventura coun-
ties.
Suverkrup introduced bill to au-
thoriZe the construction of wagon
road in San Bernardino county.
The act to regulate travelling fees of
the Sheriff of the county of Kern,
by Lindsey, from the Senate, was
passed.
An act to create the office of Bank
Commissioner was made the special
order for Tuesday.
In the Legislature to-day, the AS
sembly bill to take the office of Tax
Collector from the Sheriff of Ventura
and give it to the Treasurer was in
definitely postponed in the Senate, on
the motion of Graves.
State Controller Vaudeville died
this morning at eight o'clock, in Sac
ramento, of softening of the brain,
and in consequence both houses ad-
journed, after transacting some busi-
ness, till o'clock Monday. A joint
committee of five from each House
was appointed to arrange for his fu-
neral. He has been unwell for q long
time.

Protest to the Legislature.

We have just received information
from Anaheim that the following pro-
test is being circulated in that part of
county, and has already received
twelve hundred signatures
To The Senate and assembly Of The State Of Ctli-
WHEREAS, An Act entitled An Act to au-
thorize the Board OF Supervisors Of Los An
geles county to erect Court House and Jail,
and issue Bonds for the payment Of the
same - is before your honorable body, and
Whereas, Section of said Act authorizes an
expenditure of one hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars,
Therefore, we, the undersigned residents
and taxpayers in said county of Los Angeles,
would represent to your honorable body,
lst. Thatthe county of Los Angeles has now
an Indebtedness of S6j0,000.
ID. That the annual interest on this debt
absorbs 45 cents on the Sl00 OF our county tax
levy. uo
ent debt will increase il to sS00,U00, or about
per cent OF our entire taxable property.
4th. That with this addition to our debt we
will have the largest debt Of any county, in
the State, except San Francisco, (Which has
more than twenty times as much taxable
property as our county has,
5th. That our taxes are now burthensome,
and that increased taxation will retard the
growth and prosperity of our county.
9Th. That the present Court House is suffi-
cient for the needs of the county.
In view of the facts here set forth, we ewould
respectfully demonstrate against the passage
OF said Act by your honorable body For
which we Will ever pray.
The HERALD has not entered large
ly into this controversy. The follow
ing is the purport of what has been
said: If the present Court House and
Jail property could be properly dispos-
ed of and the proceeds honestly appli-
ed in the building of new ones, there
would be no very large debt incurred
to complete the new ones. If bonds
are issued fol this purpose, due in
twenty years, we will insist that the
old Court House and Jail be sold for
bonds which will mature at the same
time. This property will bring double
the amount, if sold on such
terms as it would if sold for
cash. In this way the buildings
can be erected without any material
increase of the debt of the county.
Then why the necessity of asking the
privilege ofgoing IN debt another hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars when
one fourth or one third of the amount
is all that is required. We are always
ready to encourage any improvement
in the county when improvement will
do more good than harm. But it is
our candid opinion that one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars added to
the debt of this county would do us
more harm than the new buildings
would benefit us.

The Crooked Disciples.

They come before the courts in solid
phalanx, and by platoons confess
judgement. Not less than forty of
these whisky ringers have confessed,
and still they come. 1t is divine
maxim that honest confession is good
for the soul. But how much it bene-
fits the body can only be determined
when sentence is pronounced. That
this method was adopted to get off
with lighter punishment is very ev-
ident. But there is vast difference
between voluntary confession and
confession made after detection. If,
before anything was known of the
guilt Of these parties, they had come
forward and divulged their secret
crimes against the Government, made
restitution and plead for mercy, there
is not Judge upon the bench in the
United States who would not extend
clemency to the utmost limit. Vol
antary confession is really meritori-
Gus, but there is no merit in confess
ing after man has been freed. A
searching investigation into all public
affairs has been instituted, and thou
sands of crimes not now dreamed of
will soon be unearthed. Conscience
and detectives are busy everywhere,
and all those who under the lashings
of conscience come forward and make
confession, may expect to find favor
with the courts and society. But
those who wait for detectives to hunt
them down, will not receive much
sympathy In any quarter. In view of
these facts we advise all the guilty
brigade to take time by the forelock
and come forward and own up like
men. The courts and the whole
American people will absolve you;
you can retain your position In soci-
ETY., have the appreciation of a good
conscience and the benediction of
Heaven. We know you are guilty,
you know 1t and God knows it; then
why wait for detectives to nose you out
and bring you before the courts.
They are sure to find you, and your
disgrace must follow. Besides, it is
very expensive to keep up a corps of
detectives, pay attorneys and sum-
mon jurys, and this only provokes the
people. All this expense and bad
Irrling, as well as your disgrace, may
be avoided. So walk up and make a
clean breast of it and let us begin a
new deal.

MERIDEN, Conn.,, Feb. 3d.-The af-
fairs of the Meller Bros, Cutlery Co.,
one of the most prominent cutlery
works in the United States, are found
to be in an embarrassing condition,
through the Irregularities of one of its

believed to be 5000, 900 or more. No
cash account was kept and the books
are found to be irregular. The stock
holders propose to run the works as
