THE SACRAMENTO.
Good Eject of the Stoppage of Hydraulic
Mining.

Mining.
The Sacramento river now registers but
feet 10 inches. and it is not apt to reach a
much lower stage, though it may fall two
or three inches Showing the good
results of the cessation of hydraulic min
ing, attention may be called to the fact that
last season the stream, after the middle of
August, was scarcely navigable to Sacra-
merto by the passenger steamers, and the
gTain-carrying steamers and barges had
great trouble above the city, and got stuck
in the draw of the Sacramento and Yolo
bridge nearly every trip down, not only de-
laying them but interfering with the cross
ing of trains, teams and pedestrians. So
far this year the San Francisco boats have
met with no detention from sand-bars. AT
one place, at the lower portion of the river
front, the water is shallow close to shore,
but it has not become troublesome. Coming
down with ker barge Monday. the steamer
San Joaquin No found a bar above
Brytes, upon which the barge stuck and
remained fast over night, until another
barge went up from the city to lighter her
Yesterday the Dover's barge met with a
like experience at the same place. For
some time past the San Joaquin Com
panys steamers have had trouble at Salmon
Bend, well up the river, and barge has
been stationed there for use as lighter,
thus causing the detention. when barge
grounded, to be for but a short time. 1t
may be that before rain falls the obstruc-
tons to navigation will increase but the
improvement this year over the last few
years is very encouraging, indicating that
the river may soon wash the debris out of
its channels, and in course of time return
to its natural condition. Certain 1t is, the
people of Sacramento are getting clearer
water from the river than they have for
score of wears.

THE BREWERS.
Special Meeting of the United States
Brewers Association,
by Telegraph

NIAGARA FALLS. September Sth. "A
special meeting of the United States Brew
ers' Association is in session here to-day.
William A. Miles, the President, gave the
opening address, which was confined to a
hurried review Of the purposes and desires
of the association. Part of the address
dealt with the labor question as respects
brewers. He claimed there was now and
always has been greater harmony between
employers and the men engaged in brew
ing than in any other industry The re-
port of the Board of Trustees reviews the
prohibition question in Kansas and Iowa,
and attempts at legislation on the subject
elsewhere. The joint report of the Vigi-
lance and Publication Committees states
that during the past year the Publication
Committee caused to be prepared printed
and distributed an aggregate of 5000
copies of addresses and essays intended to
influence public opinion favorably to the
brewers interested. The report adds
During the past year many applications
for documents have been received from per-
sons living in Georgia and Virginia. From
our correspondents in these States we learn
that the success of the prohibition move
ment is mainly due to a desire on the part
of the ruling party (Democrats) to keep
the colored population within certain
moral bounds. It is claimed that for the
exclusively white population the Southern
Democrats would not dream of passing
such laws. Discussion of the question of
the basis of personal and industrial liberty
was entirely impossible. Such logic is
beyond our comprehension. To US it
seems that the greater depravity of the
population, the greater the need of control.

An Unlucl<y Engine.

Yesterday morning, about I o'clock, the
two engines drawing the west-bound ex-
press train ran off the track at switch at
Tamarack station. The one in the lead
No. 6S, rolled over upon her side in the
ditch, and did not block the track; but the
other plowcd along the ties for few rods
and was got back upon the rails after about
three hours work by the wrecking train,
which had been summoned from Truckee.
No one was injured by the accident, but the
train was delayed to such an extent that it
did not reach Sacramento until about lao
7. NJ. The accident also delayed the east
bound express and The fruit train which
left this city on Tuesday. Engine No. 6S
is very unluckv. She performed q similar
feat TO that of yesterday about month
ago, at Gold Run, running off at switch,
but saving trouble by rolling over into the
ditch ont of the way, leaving her mate on
the ties. She was also in the wreck at Ia
marack about one and half years ago
when fireman Henderson was killed.

Eailroad matters at BenicIa.

The body of Henry Garvey, the fireman
who was drowned when locomotive ran
off the steamer Solano at Benicia, Tuesday
morning, has not yet been recovered. The
emigrant car which went overheard with
the engine has been removed from the
water, but it seems that nothing can be
done with the wrecking car or other shore
appliances to raise the locomotive, and a
floating derrick will probably be procured
for the purpose. AT high tide the Solano
can pass in and out of the slip without
trouble, and consequently all trains whose
time would bring them to Benicia or Port
Costa when there was plenty of water,
passed between Sacramento and the Bay
over that route yesterday but others had
to go around by way of Stockton and VAL
leio.

AN INVOLVED QUESTION.

When the disagreement began between
the two Houses of the Legislature relative
to adjournment, and which led the Gov
ernor TO interpose and assert his power to
declare the Legislature adjourned, the
REcoRD-U IoN, in its review of the pro-
ceedings up to the failure to agree upon a
concurrent resolution, said that the next
step in Parliamentary usage should be the
appointment of Committees Of Conference
Il the confreres failed TO agree or the
Houses u concur in an agreement by them
then all legislative methods having been
exhausted, the Executive could properly
intervene And until there had been such
exhaustion of methods, we doubted whether
the power of the Governor could be pro-
iected into the question. We have not
seen amy reason to dismiss these doubts
This method of reaching final disagree
ment was not ayailed Of, and though the
Senate was finally adjourned by the decla-
ration Of its official head, in accordance
with the proclamation Of the Governor,
there remained the doubt and it will re-
main, that there was not such absolute
and final disagreement as the Constitution
oontemplates. Whatever of vitality and
virtue there may be in this doubt, we be-
iieye it to be sufficient to cripple legisIa-
lion subsequent to the reconyening Of the
Houses to render it uncertain, and to be
creative CT litigation, It may be said, pos
sibly, that the Executive judgment that
there was disagreement finally determined
Che question, and that the Courts will re-
fuse to go behind it; or, that the acquies-
cence of the Houses, the failure to protest,
etc, and the reassembling, condoned and
cured any error of the procedure. Never
theless doubt will remain, and the matter
IS the more involved now that three Sena-
tors have entered their written protest
against the renewed session. claiming it 10
be no lawful assembling Of the Houses. 1t
Is very unfortunate that the matter should
have taken this turn. The reed for specific
legislation is great, and the desire that
some compensation for the cost Of the extra
session should be realized is universal.
But, under all the circumstances, it would
seem that any enactments put upon the
statute book will be open to such objections
As can only be settled by litigation. This
being the case, it becomes a serious ques-
zion whether it would not be the part of
wisdom for the Legislature to adjourn sine
lie, and leave to the incoming body soon
30 be assembled, and to be elected upon
platforms recognizing the irrigation ques-
lion, the settlement of that important
matter.
THE Mayaower wins the first of the
trials for the Americas cup and Ameri-
cans are clarifying accordingly. The con-
test between the deep and shaIlow-draught
beats has proven the latter, with its center
board to be the better craft in an easy sea.

is encountered. and then we will show you

Hockey pokey Ia kind of stud-horse

profitable gambling pastime, and to
get it into an ironclad condition
against danger from prosecution as a
