apce with orders of the Chief of Police were
yesterday sent to the chain.gang by Judge

they are Of the class which are never known
to do al honest days work, but frequent the
haunts of l. and Second street and thu L
street opium dens, and thst although they
never earn anything, they always manage tn
subsist by invisible means Of some sort, and
to maintain prominence in certain parts of
the community of a warty, excrescence ma
ture, which requires police aud Judicial caus-
tic to eradicate. The public expression is
strongly in favor Of the continued arrest and
vigorous prosecution of this class of useless
excuses for human beings, until they shall
find that Sacramento climate is too warm for
them to thrivs or exist in. The police say
that nearly all of the petty cases Of burglary
and theft are dusto this class.
