DOOMED TO DETEAT.-But little more
than two weeks will intervene between
now and May 9Th, the day Of the Consti-
tutionai election. Already it is certain
that the New Constitution will be de-
feated, yet the minority against it will
doubtless be greatly increased in the in
term. Certainly the new instrument
is losing ground every day and its oppo.
nents are daily gaining corresponding
strength. Had the election taken place
Immediately after the adjourn ment OF the
Convention the vote would have been
favorable, bu: the people have since had
an opportunity OF reading and under
standing it, and the natural consequence
is that many who thought it good now
know 1t to be bad. Latest estimates
from San Francisco claim that it will be
defeated in that city by from 5000 to
$4,000 votes, and it is further stated or
seemingly good authority, that very few
II any ofthe larger towns in the State will
give it majority. In the rural districts,
where the New Constitution has been less
agitated and OF course less understood, il
will receive more votes, bu. these in the
aggregate will be about stand-olf. 1t:
defeat will be n victory in favor of sound
government, and those who vote with the
majority may wei te proud Of having
aided in maintaining and assisting the
material interests of the State, and re-as,
surfing both labor and capital shat con
tinued prosperity will hencetorth BIZ thei
portion in the Golden State.

THE Mormon QUEsTIoN.-The New
York Times, reviewing the proceedings
OF the forty-nint tn annual conference OF
the Mermons at Salt Lake, says At
various times during the flty-six years
since Joseph Smith produced the Book Of
Mormon it las loCn thought by close,
careful observers, that this monstrous do
fusion was on the point of collapse. None
Of these expectations have been fulfilled.
The whole system Of Mormonsm romans
intact, and apparently impregnable in
every part. Not only SO, but under
the inspiration of the success of the party
rev in power in Congress, it is even pro-
posed that Utah be admitted into the
family of States. This is the present aim
ot the Mormon lea ders. While the
Mormon Church remains merely one of
the peculiar institutions, subject wholly to
the direct legislation of Congress, and
governed by appointees Of tho National
Executive, there is no hope for absolute
independence of the Church of Latter
Day Saints and the Mormon hierarchy
But those who think that the Mormon
leaders are depressed, rare relaxing their
efforts TO secure permanent foundation for
their little empire, deceive themselves.

THOSE QUILLs.-We have it upon the
authority of a gentleman well known in
this section Of the State that when the
time arrived for signing the authentic
copy of the New Constitution, each dele
gate was furnished with new quill pen
with which to affix his signature. These
quill pens, he learns. have each been
marked with tho name Of the individual
who used it, and have been placed in a
glass case in the State Capitol Its prob
able that the gentlemanly Delegates did
allow their egotism to get away with them
and imagined that these pens would be
handed down to posterity, to be reverence
ed ard viewed with awe by generations
yet unborn. That they, one hundred
years ence, would he famed in song as is
the Sword of Bunker Hill" The de-
feat Of the Constitution will, however,
give them less value as historic relics; but
in the interest of econo my, and that the
State may not be subjected to a total loss,
we suggest that these quilts be issued to
members OF the next Legislature for
tooth picks.

THE PUBLIC ScHooLs.-Th more the
matter is discussed the more apparent
does it become that the adoption OF the
New Constitution will utterly destroy the
present splendid Public School system of
California. Tue new instrument certain
~ places every educationa interest of
the State in jeopardy. In its vain at
tempts to deceive voters on this question
the San Francisco Chronicle has denied
that such would be the effect, and stated
that John SWEET and other prominent
educators favored the New Constitution
and particularly the provisions relative
to the Public Schools. At meeting of
the school teachers of San Francisco,
held at Lincoln school building last Sat
ufday, Mr.. SWEET denied emphatically
that he favored the New Constitution as
was made to appear in the interview with
him as published in the Chronicle, in
which all he said had been grossly mis-
represented. After discussion and tree
interchange OF views on the matter the
teachers meeting adopted the following:
WAERBAs, the Article on Education
in the new Constitution makes County
Boards OF Supervisors ex -otiicio County
Boards of Examination, and gives them
unlimited control over The granting Of
teachers certificates. thereby sweeping
out OF ex istence any uniform standard "
professional qualifications, preventing
any State recognition of teaching as u
profession, and practically multiplying all
existing diplomas and certificates there.
fore
Resolved, That we, the teachers Of San
francisco, are opposed to the Article on
Education rs whole, and to the new
Constitution AS whole, and that we Gu ii
upon teachers in the State " unite with
us in this opposition.

A STRANGE RUMnR There is a GU.
rious rumor flying about the streets. 1t
is repeated among groups Of men every

ready believers. There is probably not

would not be directly injured by the
adoption of the new onsttutisn except
the Railroad interest. the Railroad

to struggle with each succeeding Leeis-
lature, to the end that no laws inimical
to railroad interests should be enacted
they would henceforth have only to con-
troll two memb ers Of the Railroad Com

ed that, desiring the Constitution to be
adopted, the Central Pacific people have
taken measures to control the course of
the Chronicle in that direction. Alta.

STATE DEBT.-The trainers OF tho
Rew Constitution deliberately omitted that
provision Of the old one which has alone
proved affective to protect the State
against crushing load Of debt. Section
% of the present Bill Of Rights prohibits
the Legislature from making any appro.
pristion for more than two years. That
section was adopted as an amendment to
the Constitution, because under the con-
struction Of the Courts there was previous
ly nothing to prevent the creation of an
unlimited State debt. Tn the new Con-
stitution this safeguard is absent, and
there is nothing whatever to take IFS place.
The Legislature can therefore, under thu
new Constitution, plunge the State into
dobt of a hundred million dollars, and
there would be no remedy or relief. That
Legislatures always create debts when
they are allowed TO do so, experience
proves. That they would take instant
advantage of this omission there can be
10 doubt whatever. - Record. Union.

CoNDITIGE OF THE STATE Business
is dull, labor languishing, improvements
s.c a standstill and employment not over
easily obtained. Trade, commerce and
manufacture are frightened by the new
Constitution, and dare not move until its
fate is settled. II that he defeated, con
tractors and builders, judging from all we
know and all we hear, will have a big de-
mand for laborers, and this, added to the
great number of hands the farmers will
need, may mbine to make this season a
prosperous one despite of the present lis
agreeable lull.
The Constitution fight is bccom ing
more interesting every day. Everybody
is awake and doing. Each interest is
putting forth its best efforts either for or
against. Fla mers, merchants, banker
brokers, laborers, liquor dealers, temper
ance societies, in fact every interest in the
State has taken defiant stand on one side
or the other. 1t promises to be an inter-
esting and "A bitter fight, and probably
the most exciting election that California
has ever seen. -Sacranlento Bee.

THE Boss What does
this mean We quote from Section 4,
Article XIII, of the New Constitution on
Revenue and Taxation
Sec. 4. A mortgage, deed of trust,
contract or other obligation by which n
debt is secured, shall. tor the purpose of
assessment and taxation, be deemed and
treated as an interest in the property af-
fected thereby. The taxes so
levied shall be lien upon the property
and security, and may be paid by either
party TO such security; il paid by the
owner of the security, the tax so levied
upon the property affected thereby shall
become part Of the debt so secured if
the owner Of the property shall pay the
tax SO levied on such security, 1t shall
constitute r payment thereon. and to the
extent Of such pay ment a full discharge
thereof.
This appears to be plain English and we
will give our understanding Of it as such j..
A owns a mining ella m B, the capital
ist has a mortgage upon it Cor 81 900 B
is assessed for mat mortgage and pays the
taxes. which in this county amount to
S27 so. This under the prov ision above
quoted, being paid by the owner of the
security" becomes "a part Of the debt Sc
secured" Therefore A owes B 81, 027 so,
and is just the amount of the tax more in
debt. If this is not what the clause quot
ed means, what in thunder does it mean ?
and where is the relief for the poor m liner
whose claim is morgsged o.? Respectfully
dedicated to VoIney E. Howard, or any
other man who thinks he can explain
away this plain provision.

BURCH TO THE FORE.

Old Trinity acquaintance OF Burch -
our own John Cactus must smile grim "
when they peruse the account of the pro-
Constitution meeting in San Francisco
last Saturday tight, as published in the
Sunday Chrsnicte, and their attention is
arrested by the following hilalutin fight
Of fancy on the pert of the reporter:
Honorable John G. Burch, one Of the
most distinguished of American jurists,
and one of the three Commissioners who
complied the existing California Codes,
advanced to the speakers table. draped
with the American flag, and called the
meeting to order"
Those who know the Honorable gentle.
mans legal ability are decidedly of the
opinion that the Chronicle has been mis-
informed MS to his standing among Amer
lean jurists. unless indeed the writer OF
the above looked a: an inverted list. The
"existiDg California Codes" have been
principally compiled by Legislative
amendment since they left the hands OF
VIZ commissioners VI WHOlH DuTCu WAS
one. In fact the original draft of the
Codes is generally conceded to have been
the most inconsistent, incomprehensible
and thoroughly muddled legal production
ever promulgated by Authority up to the
moment Of the adoption Of the New
Constitution by the late Convention
Our third objection to the Chronicles re-
port, above quoted, is that of every Union
loving citizen who knew Cactus" during
the "late unpleasantness," and who object
to having these defunct rebel mumm les
served up to the public at this late day,
"droped NTH the American Rag." Fur
thermore, Burch's advocacy of The New
Constitution should carry no weight as,
like Ktarney, he was pledged to 1t in
advance. While in attendance on the
the District Court in Weaverville last
Decent Der, and before single provision
had been adopted by the Convention,
Burch was asfed for his opinion Of their
probable work. In reply, he said in eff.
feet, ut don't make much difference
what they do have about made up my
mind to support the New Constitution
anyway." The "most Distinguished Of
American jurists" a,e not usually so pre-.
