SACRAMENTO, Jan. 2O.-Murder
was the topic OF debate in the Sen.
ate yesterday afternoon. Debris
from mines was the talk in the AS.
semhIy during the hour Of the af-
ternoon pession. Both questions
excite peculiar Interest at this
time. apprehend that many
members supposed that Senator
Grove Johns0n's bill, in relation to
the killsng Of human beings aud al
lowing the relatives of the victim
to take the life of the murderer,
was introduced simply for the pur-

sacred then than now. Human life

law is found to he weapon to keep
the murderer from punishment.

bauched and misled by the specious
plea of emotional insanity. Able
lawyers and eminent Judges have
