A COOP PoINT.-A gentleman from Sut-
ter county, who has been in the city for some
days, sends the following to the RECORD
UNION: " / have been in this city for some
time, and, impelled by both interest and GU
riosity, have endeavored to ascertain the real
opinion of members of the Legislature on
the general subject of the debris situation. [
find that while many members favor the re-
peal of the drainage Act, not ten votes could
be found in either house in favor of a law
prohibiting at once hydraulic mining. This
fact exposes the real sentiments Of those in
favor OF repeal They are willing to suspend
all remedial measures, but they are not will
ing to arrest the evil. They say to us of this
valley, We will prevent the application of
all remedies, but we will not arrest the In
Fiction of the injury, If those in favor of
repeating the Act to promote drainage had
felt the slightest sympathy for the sufferers
of this valley they would have proposed
remedy by making hydraulic mining unlaw
full. But it is plain that all they intend to do
is to-leave us at the mercy of the avalanche Of
mud. I give it as my opinion that not ten
votes in either house can be had to make by
draulic mining unlawful. j. O."
