twenty years ago. Dr. OgoOd reetes details Of his

The Carson dispatch, iH this morn
ing's SENTINEL, states that the Secre-
tary of States office was besieged yes
terday by people curious to learn the
particulars of the report of the experts
employed in the State Prison investi-
CATION. 1t appears that considerable
time was consumed ia the discussion
of the question As to whether the in
vestigation was legal or not a point;
which, it is reasonable to presume, was
raised by the friends or supporters OF
the Warden, and which, in ouropinion,
ONE with bad grace from that source,
considering the fact that Mr.. Hyman
demanded tho investigation aud pro-
fessed the utmost anxiety to have ii
brought to a conclusion as speedily as
possible. The compiler of the dispatch
volunteers the hope that the full re-
port of the experts will not appear, be-
cause the exposures will prove such a
disgrace to the State. We differ with
him; the digrace will attach to the
guilty parties alone, and it is the right
of the people oil the State to be in
formed in regard to the entire bust
ness, and they will not tolerate the
suppression OF the reports which were
paid for with their money. Let them
be published, though the blow strikes
the highest in authority in the State.
1t is too late now to think of attempt
ing to conceal the facts. Public inter
est has been awakened too strongly.
and nothing short of the publication of
the entire evidence will satisfy the

The discount on silver coin has be-

Produce Exchange this morning
adopted a resolution that all transac-

wise stated, should be IN basis OF gold
coin.
No definite action has yet been taken
with reference to resuming business or
disincorporating by the Directors of the

Some of the parties interested desire TO
continue the organization. Efforts are
now being made to further reduce the

the dividend ON that account next week
may be so per cent, instead OF 20 per

COMMITTING POLITICAL HARI-
=. KARL

The Grass Valley Union thinks that
the bill recently introduced in the Cali
fornis Senate, requiring each writer OF
an article in a newspaper to attach 10
it his or her full name, to have been
invented In the interest Of assassins, as
the bill is so constructed that the man
who wants to assassinate can not mis-
take the proper party. Not only is the
Union's opinion correct, but it is
equally true that the introduction of
the bill was in direct connection with
the Infamous attempt upon the part of
q murderous bully to assassinate a
citizen in the ball where the measure
was introduced, and was . fitting Sc
quence I tho action of the body which
in tabling the resolution of censure
virtually committed themselves to the
Endorsement of the cowardly act. If
that Democratic Legislature of Cali
fornia, upon the heels of lts action in
the Wilcox matter, passes any such
outrageous bill, good-by TO the chances
Of that party at the next election in
that State; for it will be beaten, as it
ought to be, as sure as the day of the
election arrives. 1t has always been
charged upon the Democrats that they
were opposed to newspapers, schools
aud to all the means of instruction to
the people; and If the Democratic Leg
islature Of California pts to ham,
per the press in the manner proposed
by the Lame ierson bill, we shall
conclude that the accusation is well
founded, so far at least as the Democ-
racy of California is concerned, and in
such an evect it will be Gods blessing
If the management Of the Government
falls into the hands of some other pc.
litical party.
