The Assembly met at 10 "a. ". Speaker Park.
in the chair. Roll called and quorum present
Prayer by the Chaplain. Journal of preceding
day read and approved.
May moved that Assembly Bill No. IL, appr0
priating $50 600 to meet the expense of the extra
session. be taken up out of order and read the
first time. So ordered.
On motion of May, the constitutional proyi
sion was suspended, the bill declared one OF
urgent necessity, and was ordered read a second
and third time and placed upon its passage.
May said that while the bill made provision
for the possible expenses of about two weeks
an earlier adjournment of the Legislature would
leave all the money not required for expenses
in the Treasury.
Loud spoke against the bill and said he would
not vote to take another dollar from the people
for the expenses of the present session.
MAY remarked that he had often noticed that
those members who were always so willing to
sacrifice themselves in the alleged interests Of
% the dear people" never failed to take away
with them every dollar allowed by law for theii
time and services as Legislators.
Firebaugh thought the cost of the present ex-
ira session to be money well and probably ex.
pended Whatever the result of its delbera-
lions might be. the people viii have become IN.
formed upon the issues involved IN the water
question, and will be prepared to properly in
struct their representatives in the coming regu-
lar session.
The bill was then passed.

CHILDREN


Parents are very often worried about
child that shows signs of dropping and
loss of appetite, and no desire to join in
the sports of their playmates. 1t is
hardly serious enough to require ply
stefan, but it is plain that the child
needs something. 1t is not prudent to
force into the young and undeveloped
systems strong and nauseous drugs, but
medicine that will aid, inyigorate,
enliven, and thoroughly cleanse the
system by gentle means is what is de-
sired. Simmons Liver Regulator is a
medicine of this kind. The child will
not rebel against taking it, because it is
not unpleasant TO the taste; it does not
compel them to remain indoors, and it
does not weaken or iniure the system
1t can safely be administered to the
youngest infant.
II have used Simmons Liver Regu-
lator in my family for eight or ten years,
and found it the best family medicine
ever used for anything that may hap
pen."HovID C. srARKs, ex-Mayor of

Lowrey shortly afterwards communicated
to me the threats Robinson made at that
time to him regarding McWhorter. i then
thought Robinson had fixed purpose of
injuring New horter. | went home that
day and had another talk with McWhorter.
having met him at San Francisco. and told
him of the threats made by Robinson at
the Sacramento depot. In my converse
ton with McWhorter on the Sth, told
him, in my judgment, it was a serious
matter; that was satisfied that Robinson
meant to do him great bodily harm, and
| for him to look out for him and be pre-
pared to defend himself. / advised him to
| be on his guard. | considered such advice
my duty TO any friend whose life was

On cross-examination, witness testified
that Robinson said that McWhorter had
| lied about him.
! William Robinson, the next witness, said
he was brother of the deceased. The lat
| ter, at the time of his death, was aged As
years, 10 months and - days.
| City Attorney Hart testified that he had
| known defendant for some years. While
witness was engaged in the publication of
| the Journal, at Willows. he issued a re-
| ligious journal for defendant, and the lat
| ter learned the tart preservative" at the
cases in the Journal office. His reputation
for peace ard quietness was very good.
James O'Brien, Yuba county farmer
| and stoek-raiser, gave his testimony, which
| in all respects was similar to that given at
the Coroners inquest, lengthy synopsis
of which was published on Friday last in
the RECORD UNION. In addition he said
when he communicated Robinson's threats
to McWhorter the latter seemed to be very
much annoyed and worried. McWhorter
was no match for Robinson, the latter
could hold him out with one hand and
beat his brains out with the other Nc
Whorter's reputation for peace and quiet
in Marysville is very good.
William C. Smith, an eye witness to the
sad and deplorable tragedy, was the next
witness. His testimony differed in no par
ticular from that given at the Coroner's in
quest, and which has already been pub
lished.
At II A. NJ further examination of wit
nesses was postponed to 8 A. NJ. to-day.

THE editor of the Toledo Sunday Demo
erot has been convicted and sent to the
penitentiary to be kept at hard work for
one year. His offense was the publication
of lewd and obscene matter. In his de-
Tense he claimed that some daily papers
also publish similar matter. He may have
had in MIND the San Francisco Era,niuer.
His fate should serve as a warning to that
journal It's apparent policy is to make
its columns as sensational as is possible,
by revealments of seandalous proceedings,
accounts of amours and lewd and vicious
recitals, not infrequently accompanied by
lascivious pictures. Does our contempt
rary really believe that there is gain In
such journalism, or any defense for it? Do
its proprietors really offer the sheet to be
read by their own sons and daughters?

IT is rather significant that the anti
home rule districts in ireland, which tri-
umped in the recent English elections, are
now the battle-ground of rioters and the
scenes of violence and bloodshed, while
the defeated home rulers, in the districts
where they preponderate, are compara-
lively quiet and submissive to the law. Is
this action of the Ulster people likely to
Empress Engiishmen favorably. or convince
them that they were wise in sustaining the
Ulster protest against home rule?

IT does not appear that anyone clearly
understands what the rioting in Belfast is
about. The Protestants in Ireland appear
to enjoy fighting quite as well as the Cath
olics. As in all riots, thus far the Belfast
ians have managed to kill and wound the
innocent, the bystanders and some women
and children.

The story goes that Mr.. Secretary Bay
ard is eating such huge slices of humble
pie from the Cutting bakery, that he con-
templates, in consequence of political dys-
pepsia, throwing up his portfolio. 1t is
not reasonable. He was hasty in making
the demand for the unconditional surren-
der of the foolish newspaper man, bat he
was certainly backed at the time by the
sentiment of the country. Now that all
the facts have developed, he realizes that
he was too hasty in yielding to popular
cutlery, as do all sensible people, and he
accordingly appoints an agent to investi-
gate the case. If Mr.. Bayard was misled
by the statements of our Consul and pushed
to speedy action by the nervousness of Con-
gress and the public, and now finds that he
was wrong in his demand, he is precisely
the man to make the amende honorable
and to stand to his post.

A YoLo FARMERS TESTIMONY

d. n. Hershey, a Yolo farmer, said he
knew McWhorter, and was introduced to
Robinson some two weeks ago-on the day
of the conversation in front of the Capital
Hotel testified to by Mr.. Martin On that
day Robinson was very angry and bitter
about some publication. Martin was in
sinuating that he was showing partiality-
allowing some miners to hydraulic and
making others shut down. Robinson used
very harsh language about some one He
said he was not going to suffer such things.
He was going to punish somebody. He
was talking violently against the editor of
the Democrat. 1t was the first time | ever
saw the gentleman, and l thought he
was very vehement and violent, and acted
as if he meant what he said. There seemed
to be a dispute between Martin and Robin
son. Martin accused the latter of shutting
| down one mine and allowing another
alongside to run. Robinson said it was
not so. Martin said he knew what he was
talking about and Robinson said he knew
what be was talking about. They were
somewhat excited. Think their converse
ton was based upon publication. Have
known McWhorter eight or ten years, and,
so far as l know, he is a quiet, peaceable
man.
On cross examination, witness said he
had not seen much of McWhorter for the
past two years.

A MUTUAL FRIEND rEsr1F1Es.

D. B. Lowrey, resident of Marysville
and stage driver, was the next to testify.
Had known both. deceased and defendant
for about two years, and was friendly with
both of them On the Sth of August had a
conversation with Robinson regarding Nc.
Whorter in front of the Capital Hotel in
this city. Robinson asked me if | knew
where McWhorter was. He said he had
published a lie about him in his paper. and
the first time he met him he would stamp
the - out of him, and that McWhorter
had not friends enough in Marysville to
prevent him from doing it. He told me to
tell McWhorter that when be saw him he
would stamp his - out. In physical
encounter with Robinson McWhorter
would stand about as much show as I
would with prize-fghter told McWhor-
ter in the Western Hotel at Marysville
what Robinson told me to tell him, and
told him also to be on his guard Nc
Whorters reputation for peace and quiet
ness is good.
On cross-examination, he said the publ
cation referred to by Robinson was regard
ing something that transpired in Nevada
City, intimating that Robinson had fled
from burning house of i'll fame Robin
son denounced the publication as a lie

TESTIMONY OF AN Ex-JUpeE.

]. 81. Craddock, Marysville attorney, a
gentleman who served as Superior Judge
of Suffer county for ten years, was next
called to the witness stand. He said he
was slightly acquainted with Mr.. Robin
son, having been introduced to him by
Mr.. McWhorter about a year and
half ago. He did not see him
again until the second day of this
month. He had known McWhorter for
seven or eight years. The next time he
met Robinson was at the depot in this city,
when witness was en- route to the G. A. r.
encampment at San Francisco. The depot
was crowded. Robinson spoke to me and
giving his name asked, DO you know
where that McWhorter is Pr
1 replied TO him rather jocularly that was
not keeping tally of that kind of characters
that week; that was looking after Grand
Army boys. He then added, a Well, that's
what he is, and would like to have you
tell him that when l meet him will stamp
his -- out" l told him / did not
carry such news, and that he had
better deliver it in person. He
then added, We'll, when I meet
him / will stamp the - out of him"
On the Sth of August, one week ago last
Sunday, l saw him talking with Mr..
LoWrey in front Of the Capital Hotel.

Afternoon Session.

On reassembling, Reddy got the floor and
spoke against the amendment. He regarded il
as absurd to declare that we will not take away
vested Tights-a thing that could not possibly
be done under the law. No enactment of the
Legislature can do such thing except in the
manner prescribed by the law of eminent do
main.
Taylor admitted there might be something in
that statement. but if so it ought to be applied
to the proposed enactment.
Whitney opposed the amendment, as not be-
ing german, and as being filed with error.
Boone thought the amendment necessary to
make the meaning of the section definite and
ineligible. We are here to make laws for the
guidance of Courts and for the benefit of the
people, and should make our enqctnlents as
clear as possible.
The question was further debated by Messrs.
Knight, Whitney, Reddy, SAKE and others.
Spencer declared the whole list of declarations
to be absolute bosh. but insisted that if the Leg
isature is TO spread lot of bosh Oh the RACES OF
its statute books it should interject little sense
and r. son into it if possible. The speaker, by
illustr, ton showed how a riparian owner
might by robbed or despoiled of his water
rights through his inability to follow lawsuit
after lawsuit through the Courts to final con-
clusion in the Supreme Court The bill under
cons Iteration could only have the effect OF
making litigation. but if it is to become law
we might as well as not declare few facts to
be facts.
Mcclure held that the amendment under dis
cussi,n is fully covered by the johnson amend
Heavens sake let it be put in again-put it in
half dozen times and terminate the discussion.
Ii could do neither harm nor good, but let it be
put in by all means.
The amendment was lost-ayes, IA: noes is.
Mcclure moved to reconsider the vote by
which Reddy's amendment was defeated on
Wednesday of last week, which amendment
provided that 1.-The English common law of ri
parian rights, SO far as it conflicts with this Act.
shall not be recognized as rule of decision in
any of the Courts of this State"
Days spoke at length against the proposition.
He quoted literally from the works of Bayard
Smith concerning irrigation in foreign coun-
tries, and also criticised the reports of state En-
gineer Hall. The gentleman spoke for two
hours, from riparianist standpoint, and treated
the subject in a most thorough and exhaustive
manner.
At o'clock, on motion of Lowe, the Senate
granted permission to Mr.. Days to resume his
argument on the opening of the session on the
following day.
The Senate then adjourned till Wednesday at
Ii A. NJ.
