THE DEADLOCK IN THE ASSEMBLY

The working days of the session are
rapidly passing, and up to the present
time no important bills have been passed.
Business in the Assembly has been brought
practically to standstill, and it is neces.
sary to point out where the responsibility
for this state of affairs rests. Strong eff
forts have been made by the more unscru-
pulous journals which demand the repeal
of the debris bill to create an impression
that the opponents of repeal are account
able for the present deadlock. This is not
the truth. On the contrary, it is to the
friends of repeal that the present untoward
situation is attributable and if they per-
sist in the course they have lately been
pursuing the responsibility for the failure
of necessary legislation will lie with them
alone. Because they cannot bring up
the drainage repeal bill out of its order
they have refused to allow any other bill
to be brought up. The friends of the drain
age Act have always been perfectly willing
to proceed with the consideration of the
county government Act, the appropriation
and the superintendent bills, and any other
measures which are of vital Importance,
but the so:called anti debris members have
deliberately defeated all attempts in this
direction, and have thus taken the position
that in their opinion the repeal of the
drainage Act is superior in Importance even
to the carrying on of the State and county
governments. The friends of the drainage
Act are not to be held accountable for this.
They are resolute to prevent the repeal OF
a measure which they believe to be neces.
sary to the well-being of the common
wealth, but they are not the obstruction
lists. 1t is their opponents, the men who
arrogate to themselves the special repre-
sentation of public opinion, who have baf-
fed all necessary legislation for the past two
weeks, and if they persist in this course
they viii find that the people are capable
of putting the responsibility for the con-
sequences where it belongs.

GARFIELD RUMoRs.

If ali the press reports concerning the
Cabinet intentions of General Garfield
could be gathered together they would con-
stitute very queer kind of library
The Eastern journals continue with IN
tagging energy to pour forth new ideas and
rumors on the subject, though every morn
ing kills the creations of the preceding
day. Conkhng's visit to Mentor has of
course been the text for more than usu-
ally profuse burst OF conjectures, and the
assertion that the New York Senator is to
occupy prominent place in the Cabinet is
only one of the myriad suggestions to
which the incident has given rise. Mean
while General Garfield continues to keep
his own counsel with success which must
be perfectly maddsning 10 the tribe of cor
and interviewers. Nobody
knows to-day any more than was known
three months ago of his intentions, and it
is a safe conclusion that nobody viii know
worth the telling until the new
President has taken his seat and made his

TIE WHITAKER CASE.

Whitaker has not helped himself by in
sisting upon Court martial, for thus far
all the evidence tends to confirm the i'm
preston that he himself is the guilty
party. The attempt to show animus on
the part of the officers of West Point has
not been at all successful. In fact it has
been elected that at the outset OF the case
therewas very general feeling of indigna-
ton among those gentlemen against the
supposititious assailants of the colored
cadet. The moment investigation COM
menced, however, the strong improbability
of Whittaker's statements began TO tell
against him, and when the experts had
completed their examination of the alleged
warning note, it was scarcely possible to
believe any longer in his innocence. 1t is
we think already evident that the Court
martial will convict him. and that instead
of retiring voluntarily from West PORT he
will be expelled with disgrace. And such
a conclusion we regard as the only one
consistent with the facts of the case as
heretofore DEVELOPED.

DEVILIsHNEss.



Two weeks ago we had occasion to record
a piece of devilishness which shocked all
decent people. This week we are called
upon to expose to our readers deed which
outrivals the most dastardly, and which.
for downright meanness, surpasses the
basest act ever perpetrated by the vilest
soul in hell. Some two weeks ago we in
formed our readers that the vault contain
ing the remains of the late Major j. R,
Snyder, wife and brother-in law had been
entered by devils incarnate, and that the
corpses had been despoiled of few trink-
cts. We had no idea that we would have
to make another statement to the same ef-
feet so soon. But the fends again entered
the vault last Saturday night, and the de-
predations committed by them surpasses
anything which we have ever seen or heard
of. 1t appeared that they had no other
idea than that of complete demolition of
everything in the vault. They tore open
the caskets, stripped the corpses, scattered
and broke the bones in frightful and hor
rid manner, and did all which a debased
and corrupt mind could conceive. We are
unable to depict the scene, and if we could
we would refrain from doing so. There is
only one way by which such hyenas should
die, and that is the death of Tantalus.

TIVE STAR OF BETHLEHEM. % Star
of Bethlehem will appear in 1887. This
star only makes its appearance every 80
years. 1t will appear and illumlne the
heavens and exceed in brilliancy even Jul
piter when in opposition to the sun, and
therefore nearer to the earth and brightest.
The marvellous brilliancy of the Star of
Bethlehem in 1887 will surpass any of
its previous visitations. 1t will be seen
even by MONDAY, shining with a quick,
flashing light the entire year, after which
it will gradually decrease in brightness and
finally disappear, not to return to our
heavens TIL 2202, or 3l5 years after 1857
The star is the same that Illuminated the
heavens at the nativity of Christ.

TIE FARMERS OF NIcoLAus

We have received some resolutions
adopted recently at meeting of Suffer
county farmers held at Nicolaus. They
believe that they represent the sentiment
of the people of Suffer county in protest.
ing against the disposition of the present
Legislature to repeal the Debris bill.
They observe that even supposing the
charges against the Drainage Commission
ers were just, the failure of dam, the
incompetency of an engineer, or the ex-
travagance of q Commission are not
valid reasons for refusing US protection.
They represent that the failure of the Leg
islature to afford them relief and protection
must involve all classes in ruin. And they
ask that some remedial measures shall be
adopted, "if nothing more than the i'm
pounding of debris. the stoppage of the
''mines, or the buying OF our lands as
dump for the miners" The demand for
action comes now from all parts of the
Sacramento valley, and the general con-
sensus of opinion evidently is that while
the hydraulic mines ought to be stopped,
the Drainage Act ought not to be repealed
In any event.

KIDNAPPING EXTRAORDINARY.

tLos Angeles Express February 18TH.
Some time ago number of the heavy
Front-street firms of San Francisco were
badly taken in by man named Goldwater
of Arizona. Goldwater had done business
in the Territory for ten or twelve years,
and was in excellent standing with the
wholesalers. He purchased on credit
about hundred Thousand dollars worth
of goods and had them shipped to Yuma
At Yuma they were taken charge of by
confederate of Goldwater's Ito whom
Goldwater claims he sold them) and now
the whole stock is non est. 1t was SIM
pie business transaction. Goldwater pur-
chased the goods on credit and he sold
them again, and he said to the Front street
men, Gentlemen, what are you going to
do about it e? You are welcome to all the
goods you find" What the merchants
did was this Last week special loco.
motive and car went down from here to
Yuma. At Yuma the special was brought
to stop in front of Goldwater's house,
which is close by the railroad track. A
detective and two or three men darted into
the house, and finding Mr. Goldwater and
some convivial friends at dinner they laid
hold of the crooked merchant and hustled
him on board their train. Away they
went, and in the twinxling of cats eye
were across the border on California soil.
The prisoner was brought directly here,
arriving Saturday evening in time to be
placed on board the north bound freight
train. He is now in quod in San Francisco,
where he will be obliged to face his angry
creditors.
