A NEW METHOD OF SETTLEMENT.

In the discussion of the proposed tele-
graph bill before the Judiciary Committee
on Monday evening, the attorney of the
corporation represented that one effect of
the new law would be to compel the
abandonment of all the remoter telegraph
offices. To meet this Senator johnson
proposed whether ironically or not we do
not know that it should be made a INSIDE
meanor for the company to discontinue any
of its Offices. This proposal comes to us
like an echo from that period of daring
legislative experiments, the French Revo-
luton. At that memorable epoch it was
sought to relieve the prevailing popular
distress by compelling provision dealers to
sell their goods at certain fixed tariffs. As
it was impossible for the dealers to sell at
these prices without losing money, many of
them forthwith closed their stores and
retired from business. This, how
ever, was not to be endured, and
so it was decreed by the Conven-
ton that any dealers who retired from
business should be held guilty of crime,
and be punished by confiscation or the
enthusiastically by both. 1t is perhaps
scarcely necessary to add that this brilliant
and masterful stroke of legislation failed
to preEent the decline of business by those
who had been deprived of the means of
earning livelihood. and that not even the
threat of the guillotine could persuade
men to devote themselves to starvation for
the benefit of the State. From that time
until the present this peculiar mode of en-.
forcing legislative confscation has been

WANTED, A THEATER.


We print elsewhere a letter from vet
eran actor, complaining very strongly OF
the wretched condition of our theatrical
accommodations We give place to this
letter because we think the time has come
when the people of Sacramento must
make up their minds to remedy the evil
complained of. 1t is an incontestible fact
that the indictment laid by our CORE
spondent is true bill. Our theater is a
disgrace to the city, and it is an injury to
1T. Its dilapidation, inconvenience, SAM
tary defects and general slovenliness and
ugliness, have not only disguised all who
have come here to play in it, but have
driven and kept away from it large num-
Der of citizens who would be only too glad
TO support respectable and well-appointed
place of amusement. To say that it is be-
hind this age is nothing, for to find parallel
for it we should have to go back in history
almost to the time of Shakespeare. OF
course such tumble-down concern is a
reproach to any city, but when it is re-
membered that towns of far less popula-
ton, in this State, possess really good
theaters land one such city has two of
them, it becomes apparent that longer
submission to such an abuse must render
Sacramento liable to the charge of fossil
ism and want of energy and self-respect.
The absence of an attractive theater in a
centrally situated city like this, moreover,
Is serious business evil, for customers
who come in from the country have no
lnducement to stay over night where
public amusements are so deficient,
and the facilities for reaching San
Francisco are now so great that they
can easily run down there if they are bored
In fact the need of a good theater is so
patent and so imperative that our business
men ought to take measures for supplying
the want with as little delay as possible.
We require a theater which shall be not
only abreast of modern invention as re-
CARDS comfort and interior arrangement,
but which shall give us handsome build
ing. The practice of bringing together
under one roof the theater and a spacious
assembly and dancing hall has obtained
quite generally of late years, and it
has had satisfactory results. Mere reno
vations of Anticipated buildings. how.
ever, are, IN our opinion, not to be
thought of. A new and thoroughly credit
able theater is the great present need of
the city. Such building would pay
fair interest on the Investment beyond a
doubt, and it would enliven the place dis
tinctly, and react favorably upon bust.
ness. We are convinced that the present
disgraeeful old barn has been tolerated far
too long already, and that public policy
demands some progressive action. There
is plenty of capital available, and plenty
OF business sense. OF old Sacramento was
famous for her energy and progressive
spirit, and therefore these qualities ought
10 be available now when called upon.
This is an undertaking in which we are all
and it ought to be taken hold
Of and pushed until the required improve
nent is obtained.

ANTIDoTES TO DYSPEPSIA. will
do great deal to restore the tone of the
stomach where dyspepsia results, as it
often does, from overwork. Stout people,
who have it from overeating, should work
out of doors, accustoming themselves to
hearty work by degrees The prescription
given by an old physician to alleviate dys-
pepsia, is to drink half cup full of boiled
water, just as hot as one can swallow it,
half an hour before each meal, and have
known it to give great relief. The hot
water stimulates the energies OF the stom-
ach and dilutes the acrid juices which it
secretes. A wet cloth, cold or bot, as feels
best, worn on the stomach, will greatly
strengthen it. If the food is carefully Sc
lected to suit weak digestion, dyspepsia
will cure itself. Strong chicken broth,
without particle of fat, may often be
taken when other things irritate. Raw
beef, very finely minced, like meal, and set
in covered saucer in hot oven until it
becomes pink, not brown, can be taken by
the worst dyspeptics. White of egg beaten
to froth, or spoonful of whipped cream.
often will not offend. Dyspeptics should
eat sparingly, spoonful once in an hour or
two, rather than attempt small meal
three times day. Bits of ice, swallowed
whole, and frozen cream often relish; but :
the cream should be entirely without sugar.
A bit of hcorice or parched dandelion root.
or cherry bark, chewed and kept in the
mouth, strengthens the digestion sensiblv.

SMALL COIN.

EDS. RECORD UNION: In your issue of
Saturday, January 31st, you say: "The
most irrational and stupid thing the San
Francisco Workingmen have ever done, per-
haps, is their opposition to the introduction
of small COIN" Now 1 wish to correct the
impression which your editorial would create,
that the Workingmen of San Francisco are
opposed to small COIN If any clubs have
passed resolutions of that kind, l am not
aware of it. There are thirty-six clubs in
the city, and as l could not be present at all
Of their meetings, it is barely possible that
some resolution of that kind may have passed
without my notice. The only speech made
against small coin, was made before the
Third Branch of the Ninth Ward, by Will
lam Wellock, who was not member of the
club, nor invited to speak, nor is he repre-
sentative of the party. The position he took
was not well received, and he called an extra
meeting, outside of the party, which was at
tended by opponents of our party. The sub
ject has not been brought before US, as it is
no doubt such plain proposition, that we
need coins small enough to make exact change,
that very few persons think the subject worth
discussing. For myself consider it absolutely
necessary that We should have such change
in the circulating medium as to enable Us to
pay any amount to a cent H. NJ. MOORE.

Quarrel.


PORTLAND, February 3d.-The news of a
terrible homicide on Mollala Prairie, Clacka-

renewed. Collins was armed with shotgun,
and in the heat of passion fired at Hamilton.
The weapon was very heavily charged with
buckshot, and the contents entering the body

Troublous Times in Lower California.

SAN DIEGO February 3d.-D. K. Allen
arrived this morning from San Rafael, the
municipal capital of the frontier of Lower
California, which he left on Monday. Here
ports that the frontier is now under martial
law, the militia being called into service, in
addition to the Federal troops under the com
mand of Governor Castrejon. The cause of
this action is the revolution started by Mar
quez in the south of the Peninsula, fears be-
ing entertained that similar movement
might be undertaken at or near the frontier.
Governor Castrejon was on the boundary
line fifteen miles east of San Diego this
morning, where he has perfected arrange
ments for preserving order, and preventing
the entrance of disaffected persons. He has
guard OF fifty soldiers at that point, and in
the whole frontier about $50 men, including
militia, are under arms. Mr.. Allen says that
the Governor informed him this morning that
he had received news by courier that Mar
quez had been driven out of La Paz by the
Federal troops and was making his way up
the coast with handful of followers.

night rather than wander about and prob

freeze to death. While he was thus spend
ing the night another dispatch arrived at
the Flat asking why the Doctor had not
come. This excited the people at Moores
Flat particularly some men who in the
first place had volunteered to 90 with the
Doctor. A search was inaugurated, but it,
was after midnight before they started.
AT last, however, the Doctor was found
