MEETING OF THE LEGISLATURES

The coming Legislature is so near
upon us that we can almost hear its
wings tlutter.
BY resolution adopted on tho 9th
of February, 1881, an adjournment was
agreed upon by both branches, to the
first Wednesday in February, 1882.
Subsequently, on the 10th of March, said
resolution was amended, by fixing the
time Of meeting or the second WedneS-
day in January, lSS2.
The Legislature will come together
already organized and equipped for bus
iness. Not only so, but it has had the
advantage of several months experience
in the business of legislation; it has TO
some extent considered the special work
for which the extra session is called;
that work has been matured, printed
and prepared for the immediate action
Of the body on its assembling; there will
be no delays in the election Of officers
and the formation of committees; there
will be none of the usual backward
ness and delays incident TO
the introduction of an en-
tirely strange body of men with one
another, and with their business; the
machinery Is all ready and waiting only
to have the steam applied and set to
going.
This being the case, ii is expected that
n great deal of work will be accom-
pliShed, and that in very short time.
This Legislature will accomplish more,
probably, than any three successive
Legislatures might have done, by COM
plotting the difficult and very important
work which they began-that of revis-
ing the statutes. If they had dropped
ii at the point reaeked ut the close Of the
last session, and q new holy had taken
il up, the latter would have required a
whole session TO review and agree upon
what had beed done without accom-
plishing much or anything toward con-
Quoting the work To u conclusion. This
body, however, will be able to COM
plete the work and present the State,
when they adjourn, with volume Of
statutes completely revised and har-
mOnized.
The revisOry committee has covered
all the ground in the matter of revision,
up TO the criminal department of the
statutes. They have offered nothing
new and made no attempt at revising
this department. The Legislature may
determine to make some changes in the
NlhhhhaA NOutt Jul lAlic 10 q VIC pSAfbulCuL
of statutory law that has been but little
affected by legislation or constitutional
amendments since the formation Of the
State, and will need but comparatively
little If any change to make it conform
to the notifications in our Judiciary
system.
The next most important matter that
viii occupy the attention of the Legis-
lature will be the redistricting the State
for the purpose of reapportionment of
representation in Congress and in the
Legislature. Committees were appoint
ed for this purpose at the last session,
which win doubtless be ready to report
when the subject comes up; and, al
though very important matter, it viii
not necessarily occupy much time. We
anticipate, therefore, that the Legisla-
ture viii be able to finish its labors and
adjourn inside Of thirty days.

AN ENnER.RnLn.

Postmaster-G General JAMES is credit
ell with the purpose of proceeding
against the Star-route thieves by civil
suits for the recovery of the $4,000, 900 or
more they have fraudulently pocketed
out of the national treasury.
And why not?
The hides of these light fingered gen.
try may be inyulnerable through a
criminal action, but they have bigplan-
tatiOns, stock farms, and other valuable
properties that belong to the Govern
ment, and which are of more conse-
quenee. The evidence that the proper
" was acquired by money stolen from
the Government is so overwhelming
that no reasonable defence can be inter-
posed. The suits need not be tried in
Washington but can be instituted in
any of the United States Courts, and ali
parties who aided or abetted the gigan-
tic conspiracy for plumber can be pro-
ceeded against.
A special statute seems to have been
turned up to meet the cases. 1t pro-
vides that "in all cases where money
has been paid out of the fund of the Post
Office Department under the pretense
that service has been performed there
for, when in fact such service has not
been performed, or as additional allow
ance for increased service actually rem
dered, when the additional allowance
exceeds the sum which according to law
might rightfully have been allowed
therefor, and in all other cases where
money Of the Department has been paid
to any person in consequence of fraudu-
lent representations, or by the mistake,
collision or misconduct of any officer or
other employee in the postal service, the
Postmaster General shall cause suit to
be brought to recover such wrong as
fraudulent payment or excess with in
terest thereon.

cANNoN's NATURALIZATION.

Governor Murray's explanation OF his
reasons for refusing certificate to Cannon
is really astonishing. From beginning to
end he makes the mistake of treating him.
self as judicial tribunal, with power to
determine questions of law and fact. What
he says of the naturalization of Cannon
may or may not be true. The presumption
is against its accuracy, from the circum-
stance that Congress has already had the
same point before it, and then decided it
in favor of Cannon But whether it is
true or false Governor Murray has no au.
thorlty to determine, and he has usurped
powers which do not belong to him in re-
fusing to issue a certificate to the candi-
date who had received the largest number
of votes. He could not possess any official
cognizance of Cannon's qualifications. The
law did not empower him to inquire into
them at all. 1t was literally no business
citizen. That was matter for Congress
to determine, and the jurisdiction rested
altogether with Congress. Governor Muir
ray has consequently usurped Congress
sional prerogatives. He has undertaken
to come between the people and the House
of Representatives, and to decide ques-
ton of the eligibility of an elected Con-
gressional Delegate. No matter under
what pretext this was done it is equally
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1881-01-13

un:ustifable. The fact evidently is that
George @. Cannon was lawfully elected,
and that he is entitled to the GER
tifcate which Governor Murray has
refused him. Whether he is entitled to
his seat is another question, but not for
Territorial Governor to decide. Nor do
we think it probable that the House will
permit Mr. Murray thus to assume juris-
diction over its members. It viii be in a
measure bound to admit Cannon in order
to vindicate it's own dignity, and it cannot
afford to establish the disastrous precedent
which an Endorsement of his high handed
usurpation would create Forif his course
is to be condoned it follows that any Exec
utive can defeat the viii Of the people at a
Congressional election by pretending some
ineligibility in the successful candidate.
If Congress accepts Governor Murray
reasoning there will never henceforth be
any certainty about Congressional cleo
tions. The popular majority will always
be liable to reputation if factional exigen-
cies or personal malice suggests such
action, and there can be no redress for
such wrongs, since the decision of Congress
upon the qualifications of its own members
is inappellable. In short, it must be as
serted that Governor Murray has enunci
ated monstrous and impossible doctrine,
and one which strikes at the very roots of
popular government.

JOHN SHERMAN.

Secretary Sherman has been once more
elected United States Senator from Ohio,
and at the expiration of his Cabinet term
will accordingly return to the scene of his
old labors. 1t is to be regretted that he
could not occupy the Secretaryship Of the
Treasury during another administration,
for he has proved himself the most able
Secretary the country has had, and his SER
vices are certain to be missed during the
next four years. It is true that he will be
able to do effective financial work in the
Senate, where it is to be hoped he will be
pu. upon the Finance Committee, as for
merly. But after having educated himself
for the Treasury, it is pity that heshould
be compelled to vacate the Office. and we
are extremely doubtful whether General
Garfield will find it possible to fill the
vacancy as it needs to be filled. In fact
General Garfield himself knows more of
finance himself than almost any other man
in public life besides Sherman, and perhaps
the best thing he could do under the cir
cumstances would be to put dummy in
the Treasury, and administer it himself.

YOSEMITE.

The report of the new Board of Yosemite
Commissioners is brief and practical
document, all the recommendations of
which appear to be sensible and appro-
pirate. The Commissioners state that the
floor OF the Valley is very much INSTRUCTED
by the wild growth of trees and under
brush that new road around the base OF
the cliffs is needed; that several new trails
ought to be opened up to points of interest;
and that the trails now owned by private
parties should be purchased by the
State. This purchase can be effected
for 5000, and it will require
about as much more to put the Valley
and the MaripOsa Big Tree Grove in
thorough order. Reference is made to the
havoc which sheep men and hunters have
committed among the Big Trees, and Ger
tainly the language of he Commissioners
IS sufficiently temperate considering the
waaton misehicf that has been done in this
locality. The proposal TO buy mp the
trails is one which the State ought, in
our opinion, to act upon, for though the
tolls demanded are really by no means
unreasonable, they are constant source of
irritation and unfavorable comment to
tourists, who not unnaturaly argue that
California, having been made the
guardian of the Valley by the ma
ton, is bound to throw it open to
the people generally without imposts of
any kind. These tolls discredit the State,
in fact, and therefore they ought to be
abolished. There are several other recon-
mendations which deserve attention, and
it Is sufficiently shown that some i'm
provements which exceed the revenues of
the Commission at present are very de-
sirable. In fact there is need for at least
half dozen more trails besides those sug.
gested, and it is to be hoped that in
time a multitude of short trails will
b. made to various points of interest, re-
curing only an hour or two to visit. This
would greatly increase the attractiveness
of the valley to visitors who are pressed
for time, and would also afford variety to
such as make comparatively long stays
there. We think the Legislature Will be
fully justified in making the appropriation
solicited for the Yosemite Valley, for there
can be no doubt that the valley is paying
property for the State, apart from all
other considerations.

MAKE HASTE. MR. MARRIOTT.

Mr.. Marriott of the San Francisco Ne,rs
Letter will do we'll to hasten his aeronautic
discovery, announced as perfected short
time ago, or he may be cut out by the
British Columbia pilot whose fying-ma-
chine our dispatches have just noticed.
This hardy mariner is said to have in
vented a flying machine which has been
tested recently. and which successfully
carried into the air a heavy weight,
a live pig, and an adventurous Indian. It
is stated that the Indian was carried up
several hundred feet. and landed again
safely. A machine which is capable of SO
much threatens to be formidable rival
TO the Avitor, or at least it seems so to the
uninitiated. Perhaps, however, when Mr..
Marriott's aerial chariot makes its appear
ance it viii be seen that it soars above all
competition. Meanwhile the British Col
umbia pilot is making all the play.
