Senator Blackstone was the author
of the resolution which originated the
committee, and has throughout shown
great interest in this subject, to which
he had given much study and atten-
ton, and his endeavors to stop the
great strain upon the States Treas
ury is worthy of emulation. The
Senator has taken hold of this sub
ject with the same vim which charac-
terized his actions upon the floor of
the Senate and hopes to be able to
have the committees bills enacted
into laws.
Rumor has it that the Senator will
be a formidable candidate for the
nomination of Acknowledgement at
the next Democratic Convention.

1t Hos Been Reinstated by the Board
of Supervisors.
The Supervisors were not long in ses-
sion on Saturday, but they did some i'm
portant business.
Among other things they reconsidered
their action in refusing Sheriff Stanley
the two additional deputies asked for,
and then granted his request with the
understanding that the men will not be
placed under pay until October.
Another important act was to reinstate
the chaingang. Trustee Mclaughlin
promised, on behalf of the city, that one
half the expense of maintaining the gang
would be paid by the Trustees; hence tho
board rescinded its order disbanding the
chaingang.
An election was authorized for trustees
of the Reclamation District recently es-
tablished south of the city, reaching from
the Y-street levee to Freeport. The cleo
ton is to be held OH September 18th, and
the officers of said election are L. NJ. Lin
coin, Inspector, and Daniel Flint and
Antonio Koch Judges.
The board approved the contract en-
tered into between Chairman Greer and
q. B. Dean for the erection of new towers
for the Folsom bridge.
The petition of NJ. j. Dillman for a
county road through the Oak Park dis
trict was allowed, and a. Goldberg, Il.
\. Louden and County Surveyor a. g.
Winn were appointed viewers to ap-
praise damages and benefits, to report
September 7th.
The sum of $1,000 was taken from the
swamp land district fund and placed
| to the credit Of the general fund.
The board adjourned without fixing
any time to visit the Forest Hill mines,
as it promised the citizens of that place it
would do.
