THE HOUSE.


A good days work was done in the House
yesterday, a minimum amount of time being
consumed in debates. A little talk was ere
ated by the report of the judiciary committee
recommending for the second time the in
definite postponement of Mr.. Bertrand's bill
to repeal the law for publishing the laws in
the newspapers. Mr.. Bertrand tried hard to
have the report of the committee altered, but
while all of the gentlemen who spoke on the
subject-the Messrs. Campbell, Jones, Hicks,
Benson and thought the price
paid too great, they were favorable to con-
tinuance of the practice, as by no other
means could the laws receive so wide and
general circulation. The report was finally
laid upon tho table.
The remainder of the forenoon was con-
sumed in the reading of the insolvency act
introduced by Mr.. Mead. Chief Clerk
Flowers voice gave out very soon, and Judge
Deakin tackled it, and succeeded in getting
through with it in the course of about an
hour and with the assistance of copious
draughts of water.
In the afternoon a large amount of bust
ness was transacted. a perfect deluge of
bills descended from the speakers desk
upon the devoted heads of the hoarse and
hard-worked clerks. The last file number
was 30l. Then score of Senate bills were
read first time, and more than a dozen en-
actments of various kinds were passed and
several orders made the special order for 2
O'Clock to-day.
At the beginning of the afternoon session
Mr.. Jones attempted to have the hour for
meeting IN the morning fixed at 8 instead of
10 O'Clock, but failed. A goodly number of
the members sided with him, however.

NobIesse 0b!ige.

1t is not often that our quiet towr
is stirred to its depths, as was the
case yesterday morning. The hero
of the incident was the petit but
chivalrous editor Of the Unior,
Monsieur Canoe. 1t seems that the
last number of II Union contained
an article rejecting on several
highly respectable French ladies ni
Los Angeles, who do not allow
themselves to be spoken of with
s,ant courtesy. Three of them,
amongst whom was Madame Mar
ra, the possessor of a delicious con-
tralto voice, and whose amiable
and painstaking efforts to amuse
our lovers of music have endeared
her to multitudes hereabouts, con-
cluded to interview Monsieur
GanGe. They resorted to his office;
and, having asked him fora retrac.
tion which was refused, presuming
UPON his size, they proceeded to
drub him in robust Anglo Saxon
fashion. Thus far the old French
a 'horism applied to the action of
Monsieur Ganes. He made no
signs of resistance, the noblesse
UOttge Of the old French nobility
apparently governing his conduct.
But there "an end of all foolish
ness" according to the standard of
our diminutive but energetic
friend. He managed to release
himself from the trinity of fair
ones; and, we are Informed, de-
scending to the lower story, he got
possession OF club and returned to
his s0nctunl sanctOrum.
1t d d not prove to be case of
Hercules and his club. The cub
was there, but the Hercules was
non est. At this stage Madame
Maria developed qualities which
would justly entitle her to person
ate the role of that queen of the
Amazrns who figured in the time

on the nose. While that unfortun-
ate gentleman was mentally
rondering on the efficiency of his
fexor and extensor muscles, she
followed up the advantage by Civ
ing him vicious kick on the
shins, which brought him to his
knees. In this suppliant attitude,
she wrested his club from him,
leaving him hors du combat. In
honor of the magnanimity of wo
man it is only just to say that
Madame Maria refrained from ad-
ministering the club to the editor
of our able French contemporary.
Such is the moderation of woman
The whole episode is an unfortu-
nate contretenps for our friend
Gane.. But still, as q chivalrous
gentleman, it must be consola-
tory fact to him that the ladies got
away with him completely. 1t Is
the most marked brauura passage
we recall of Madame Maria.

men, there yet seems to be a great
demand for their suffrage at the
polls. The politicians are abroad
and the clamor of stump orators is
heard in every town and village
throughout the State, proclaimine
the merits and dement's of the new
Constitution, and thus each in his
turn appears to hold the new instru.
M ent up to our view in different col
ors.
One hundred and fifty.two men
assem- bled at Sacramento to frame
an organic law for our State, and,
strange to say, after sitting for 157
days like q number of young boys
In a debating club, and at a salary
of ten dollars per day, they handed
to us document which can be
moulded into any shape, like a
lump of clay in the hands of the
potter. l here wish to be under
stood that L am speaking from the
standpoint of the stumpers who
from time 10 time visit our city.
First we have had Denis Kearney
offering the precious document as
AN Instrument to crush the power
of bank monopolies, railroad robbers
and political thieves. At his heels
we had II. l.. Knight
condemning Kearney as a
fraud and a traitor to the
Workingmen's party, and using
the same clause in the proposed
Constitution as an eternal benefit
to all corporate bodies. Next we
had a. A. Cohen, at Turnverein
Hall, advancing strong arguments
to show that the adoption of the
new Constitution would prove an
advantage to the railroad monopoly
and that they were secretly in favor
of its being voted in. Last we had
Judge Terry, from the Court House
steps, reversing the meaning oil
| everything In the instrument to
support his side of the question.
Surely this is a strange document,
admitting of so many interpreta-
tons. We need not wonder at its
authors being 81 days over the time
allotted them in making it.
| Now it is really amusing to heai
the above orators so sympathizing-
ly appeal to the feelings of the
workiugmen. Que would naturally
suppose from their way Of address

of all outside of their rauks wert
made up as to how they Will vote

ance. The door of the room to
which he had retired was found to
be locked; and, as repeated calls
ELECTED no response, neighbors
were called, amongst whom was
Mr.. L. MeSmer, who forced the
door open. On entering the room
the body of the deceased was found
lying on the bed, in an attitude of

passed. off without a struggle. On
a table beside the bed was graduate
glass contnining diluted prus-ic

found his will, some other papers,
and the following letter to his son,

Mr.. Junge was about fifty one
years of age. He was u druggist
aud owned an establishment in
Temple Block, Main street. 1t is
stated that by the failure of the
Temple & Workman Bank in 1875,
he lost about 1850, and this Grip
pied him financially. Since that
time he has been laboring under a
load of debt which he could not re-
move. A mortgage on his home
was about to mature, and his store
was to pass into the hands of credi-
itors to-day. These were doubtless
the troubles referred to In the let
ter, and which promoted his un-
timely taking off. The deceased
leaves wife and four children, the
oldest being the lad referred to, and
the youngest baby. The family
is entitled to the sympathies of our
