CALIFORNIA; Constitution.

BY the latest dispatches it appears that the
people Of California have adopted the propos-
ed new Constitution by majority of about
$4,000. This will be surprise 10 many, es-
pecially TO those who do not appreciate the
antipathy to the Chinese which prevails on
the Pacific slope. The main provisions are
summarized as follows:
The new Constitution provides that Grand
Jury must be summoned once year, but pros
ecuiions may be by information instead ofin-
dictment. In civil suits three four:hs of the
jurors may find verdict; in civil cases, or
criminal cases not amounting 10 feonies, the
jury may be Of less than twelve members; in
the latter kind OF cases jury may be waived.
Trials for libel must be held in the county
where the libel is published or ir that where
the plaintiff resides The Judiciary is re-
modelled and the Legislature vested with the
power 10 abolish any of the Courts, including
the Supreme Court. No Judge Of a superior
tribunal can draw his pay unless he can
swear that no case in his Court which has
been three months before his Court remains
undecided. A poll tax of not less Than So
is TO be levied annually on every male inhab-
liant, and the Legislature is authorized to lay
an income tax and TO exact a sworn annual
statement from every person OF all his proper
ty. The only exemptions from taxation are
growing crops, public property and property
exempt under Federal laws. While there is a
taxation OF mortgages there is TO be no re-
duction of the valuation of debtors visible
property on account of any debt he may owe
Corporate capital Is to be twice taxed, the
corporation and the individual shareholder
being assessed on the same property. A cor
poration cannot hold any lands but its own
premises for more than five years. Individual
stockholders are liable pro rata for the debts
of corporation incurred during the period OF
ownership, provision which will prevent
banks from lending money on mining stocks,
the security being valueless unless Endorsed
over, and it being impossible for tho bank to
accept the liability Of the stakeholder. Di.
rectors are to be jointly and severally liable
to an unlimited extent for all moneys embez-
zied or stolen by the officers of corporations
There is an eight-hour law and q merchants
lien law, and a Railroad Commission indie
pendent Of the Governor, and there are clauses
excluding the Chinese from the right OF citi-
zenshp, prohibiting corporations or public
contractors from employing them, and in
structing the Legislature to prohibit the in
PRODUCTION of Chinese immigrants and to dele
gate TO cities and towns the power to expel
their Chinese Inhabitants. The present Con-
stitution has existed since 1910.

A precocious boy, ten years Of age, living
in Elkton, was playing marbles a few days
ago, and was so unfortunate as to lose all his
stock. He had a glass eye, and excited by
the hope of winning back his marbles, he
whipped out the glass eye and used it as a white
alley. Bad luck still pursued him, and the
ruined gamester went sadly home. His father
redeemed the eye by paying the young Shy
lock 25 cents, and the hopeful boy received
lesson that should deter him from gambling in
the future.
