Is Dur reference to the fact that the editor
Of our neighbor, the Register, voted in the
State Senate for the minority supplemental
report in 1871, (which exonerated the
State administration Of any wrong" we
did not attach great importance to that
episode. 1t was merely mentioned as
coincidence, and we fully expected our
friend to come back with the explanation
that the affirmative vote was polled in
order to be in position 10 move reconsid'
Grafton. On the day following, March 9,
ISL, the President OF the Senate, the same
being the talented editor Of our esteemed
cotemporary, took the floor and moved
reconsideration. Let the Journal Of the
Senate finish the story: ,E
TN this motion Mr.. Boreman demanded
tho yeas and nays, which were ordered aud
taken.
The yeas were: Messrs. Baker, (President,)
ApplGgate, Carper, Dayton, Ice, Kline, Pat
I'gE aud Scott, (Of Raleigh)-S.
The nays were: MessrS. Foreman, COLO
anu Scott (Ot Ritchie)-S.
Here the matter was dropped by the
Journal. The inference is that the motion
did not prevail, no quorum voting. The
Senate was composed Of twenty-five mem.
ben Of whom twelve would have been
quorum. OF course our esteemed cotem'
ponry will not hold that eleven is a ma
iorty oitwCnty.two. ltis worthy otremaIk
III this connection that the Journal Of
March /, 1871, says with regard TO the min.
ority supplemental report:
Mr. Scott (of Ritchie), then moved It's ad.
option, and on this report demanded the
yeas and nays, which were ordered and taken,
and he mid report adopted.
llBut the Clerk, in making up the Journal,
RETAINED from committing himself to the
statement which We find in our esteemed
co,2mporary OF yesterday-''the motion to
reconsider was adopted" For the reason
above stated that could not be; and the re.
port, not the motion, TO reconsider. stands

mains to be Cuntended for, and a pretty
little contention it is likely to be. The

THIS New Road Opened,

Yesterday the elegant new two horse
street cars of Mr.. 1. W. Hellman COM
menced their regular trips from the cor
ner OF Hope and Twelfth street to the
Pieo House. In few days the line
will be extended to the new depot. The
ears are wide and pleasant, and the
track solid and smooth. The passengers
are delighted with the increased
width so that their feet will not
be trod on by persons coming in or going
out. In the afternoon the City Council
went over the line to examine the track
and found it built in solid and work
manlike manner and according to agree
ment. At the southern terminus OF the
line a fine collation. was spread. TO which
full justice was done and the health of
the proprietor of the road pledged in
foaming champagne. The affair was
delightful and showed that Mr.. Hellman
has been as good as his word in all that
he has done. Owing to a press Of new
advertisements full report of the pro-
ceedings could not be given.

One of the Cattle Kings.

Mr.. Thomas Ii. Mofiitt. cousin of
Hon. A. B. Mofitt, of San Fernando,
made pleasant call at the HERALD
office yesterday. He has been resi-
dent of Zacatecas, Mexico, since 1865.
when he and Judge Moffitt left the 32d
Ohio Volunteers to cultivate the arts Of
peace. Mr.. Moffitt came to California
when a child. in 1858, and returned to
Ohio to attend school with his cousin,
the present Honorable and popular Men,
Der of Assembly from San Fernando.
When the war broke out, both enlisted
in the same company in the Thirty
second Ohio regiment and served four
years.
They then separated and have never
since met till last evening at San Fer
nando. Mr.. Moffitt has been the agent
for some years, of Senior King, the great
cattle king Of North America, with his
tens of thousands of cattle and half a
million acres of land. He is himself the
owner Of. $4,000 acres of fine land in
chihuahua. He is going north to look
at the great grazing lands along the
Northern Pacific and the Canadian Pa
ci6c. railways.
Mr.. Moffitt has an eye to business,
and if not pleased with the pasturage of
the northern country will probably
locate on some of the great ranges of
central Texas, and become pillar of the
Democracy of the Lone Star State.
This gentleman is a chip of the old block,
and looks like our popular wheat-grower,
except he is lacking in that venerable
and devotional cast of coun-
tenance which rests upon our own Mof-
fit so harmoniously. That may be ow-
ing to the climate. The stock appears
to be of the same Puritan and political
stamp, and ought to be all located in
California, where all good Motifs prop
erly belong.

Commissioner Lees Court.

The case of the parties accused of com.
plicity in uttering the gilded tive cent
pieces for half-eagles will be resumed in
Commissioner Lees Court to-day. Why
cannot the department Of Justice ap-
point an attorney for this Court? The
Commissioner is now acting as magia.
trate and attorney at the same time.
This must seem, to any person of sense
as most embarrassing position. Com.
missioner Lee must feel his peculiar re-
sponsibility very keenly, and certainly
should be relieved from it as soon as
possible. He is now required to act as
Judge and prosecuting attorney, very
unjust and onercus position. It is quite
time that something should be done to
correct this state Of things. We must
have United States Attorney and a
United States Court?
