LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

SERVED 1hEA hiaHf--Ihere Is, perhaps,
not city in the United States that suffers
go much at the bands of the boodlum ele.
ment as does Sacramento. The Sacramento
hoodi1ms seem TO have become possessed OF
the idea that they have right to mal.reat,
abuse and insult as much as they please, and
that no person ass right to interfere. They
congresste OF evenings as Tenth and x.
Sixteenth and II, Thirteenth and o, Second
and y, Fourth and K, Sixth and I. Ninth
ADD M, Tenth and n, Fifteenth and l., and
many other places. They insult the ladies
aud girls who pass these public places. and
their curses and vulgar language can be heard
for block distant. A Chinaman who
happens to pass one of those groups does
so at the peril of his life They cut,
pull down and dofsce gates and fences. phil
up and loosen boards Ia the sidewalk. DESTROY
shrubbery within thsir reach. etc. few
evenings since three of these detestable
scamps got themselves into trouble. Nightly
they would assemble or street-corper and
insult every woman and girl who CHANGED to
come that way. Thres fathers thought thew
would take the matter in their own hands. 4
young lady preceded them, aud, as she passed
the cigsretse-sDaoke-s, one caught her by the
arm, aud ali used insulting language The
fathers were upon them in moment. each
armed with cowhide. Each tcok hood.
lum By the arm, snd in less than i've minutes
the boys wers cowhidei co their hearts con.
tent. The iasles were laid on with no gentle
hand, and blood was drawn each time the
cowhides descended. Their cries Of anguish
aud petitions Tor mercy were heard blocks
away; but those who had taken the matter
In hand did not let up until they thought
they had done their duty. It is safe to saw
that those boys have not laid down, nor sat
comfortably IN 3 chair sipce. We're it not for
the respeeta6iiity of their parents their
names would be given to the public.
PBorEcrIoN OF HEALTH.-So many com.
plants are being made TO the members Of the
Board of Health, from all parts of the city,
IN relation to the noxious cdors filling the
air especially at night, from neglected out.
house vaults, thst it Is understood tbs matter
VIII be brought before the Board at its next
meeting, for the purpose of considering the
adoption of an order requiring property own
era TO nave all such vaults properly emptied
regularly within such periods of tine as will
prevent their becoming thus offensive and
detrimental to pxblic health. Probably NEST
persons who have been about the city, espe-
cially evenings, can testify from personal ex-
peflsnce or the weil-grounGed necessity for
such measure, and for its being promptly
applied. If, as stated by the Health Officer
OF San Francisco, there is reason to appre.
bend the Importation of Asiatic cholera TO
that city from infected Pacific ports where
the cholera is now ra-ing, il cannot surely be
regarded an oyer.csuti0us MEASURE TO remove
this demonstrating cause in advance.
WHO Is REsPoSsIBLs?-It has cost the
people of California large amount of money
to fill IL the grounds surrounding the Capitol
building, to arrange it properly, plant it with
the choicest of shrubbery aud f1wers. This
park Is one OF he finest in the city of Sacra-
msnto-and ons that our people take great
pride in. It is seldom that tourists FROM the
Eastern States people from our own, ever
visit Sacramento without taking 8 stroll
through the Capitol park. Fer this reason,
If tor no other, the gardener who has charge
Of the grounds and shrubbery should see that
they are kept in the best possible condition.
Many of the trees fronting on Tenth street,
ano IN other portions of the park, are covered
with cobwebs and dust Ii they are allowed
to remain in their present condition, it will
only be q question of time when their orns.
mental value will be destroyed. 1t is to be
hepsd that proper officers will take hold of
this matter ana see that the necessary work
is done and our park made to appear as it
should.
Nor THE SANE.-For some days past there
have appeared kilograms and other notices in
the press of Grass Valley and this and other
cities of the State concerning the pursuit of
the two alleged murderers of W. T. Cum.
mings, of Nevada county. They are said to
be Charles Dorsey and John G. Patterson.
II so happens that one of the old families of
Grass Valley is the Dorsey family, and they
are also we'll known here. It go happens
also that one of the Dorseys is named Charles,
pul az a r.rrn to- int hso 90
for q number Of years. The name of the
alleged murderer is the same as that of the
printer. and occasions the latter great deal
of annoyance, and is subjecting his family
to all kinds of inquiries. 1t is but Justice to
him and the Grass Valley family.to say that
Charles Dorsey, the alleged murderer, is 10
no way related to the Dorseys of Sacramento,
or their family in Grass Valley.
