THE WATERS OF The AMERICAN.
How Much is the Natoma Company
Entitled To2
The Supreme Court Reverses the
Judgment in Its Faver and
Against Hancock.

The case of the Natoma Water and
Mining Company against John Hancock
and others, which has been pending for
years in the local and higher courts, bids
fair to go unsettled for considerable
time to come.
The Supreme Court has now ordered a
reversal of the judgment received by the
plaintiffs in this county, and retrial OF
the case. The opinion was written by
Chief Justice Beatty and is concurred in
by Justices Harrison and Fitzgerald.
In deciding the case the court says:
The case decided was an action to enjoin
the appellants from diverting water from
the South Fork Of the American River at
4 point Immediately above the dam of the
respondent, and the principal question
involved in the case is as follows: If a
prio: appropriation of water constructs a
dam across the bed of a stream for the
purpose of raising its surface at a level
which will cause it to flow with the head
of this ditch. does he thereby acquire
such an exclusive right in the bed and
banks of the stream, as far as the slack
water extends above his dam, that he can
enioin subsequent appropriation OF the
surplus from tapping the stream. and dl-
verting such surplus at any point above
the dam and below the head of the slack
water?
1.-The decree of the Superior Court, from
which the defendants appealed, cannot
be sustained without affirming this prop
osition. The plaintiff has at all times di-
verted water 10 the full capacity of its
canal, and applied the whole of it to
beneficial uses, for mining and irrigation,
1t still requires for irrigation and other
useful purposes all the water so diverted,
and as against a subsequent appropria-
ton has An undoHbted right to continue
such diversion unmolested and undis-
turbed except in so far as lawful APP
preparation and diversion Of the surplus
at point above its works may involve
the necessity of altering and periecting
the appliances which have thus far proved
sufficient to fill its ditch.
''If when a retrial of the cause the
rights of the parties under the contract
are again submitted for decision and reg
ulation, the court should find the extent
to which the plaintiffs canal was enlarged
in 1862, and, precisely, and definitely, the
dimensions and setting of the box which
tho defendants and their predecessors
put in and used in pursuance of plaintiffs s
grant"
Justice Mcfarland dissented in toto
and adhered to his former opinion in De-
Patterson and GarOutte concurred in the
reversal of the judgment, and Justice
DeHaven rendered dissenting opinion.

4 DOUBLE-HEADED POLICE COURT.
Judge Buckley and Justice Devine
Both on Deck.
Between the Two, Local Offenders
Are Likely to Get All the JUS
tice Needed.

Judge Buckley opened the Police Court
yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, as usual,
q large crowd being in attendance to wit
ness the proceedings, it being known
that both he and Justice Devine would
hold court and try the calendar.
City Attorney Brown not being pres
ent, the court sent to request his attend
ance.
When the City Attorney made his ap-
pearance, Judge Buckley announced to
him that the Police Court was now open
and ready to proceed with the calendar.
Thereupon Mr.. Brown stated that with
the greatest Difference to the Judge, whom
he addressed as Mr.. Buckley, and with
an entire absence Of any ill-feellng to-
ward him, he must refuse to acknowledge
him as Judge of the court, or to try any
cases before him.
Judge Buckley thereupon said that he
understood fully that there was an hon
est difference of opinion. In regard 10
the contempt proceedings spoken of yes
terday, he had not seriously intended to
carry them out, and had not intended
thev should be placed on the calendar.
He directed the Clerk to strike them oil,
which was done, and the City Attorney
retired.
Ed Rand, charged with being drunk,
was then arraigned and pleaded guilty,
asking to have his sentence Immediately,
as he wanted warm quarters for the VIII
ter.
The Judge then, after a short lecture,
sentenced him TO thirty days in the
County Jail.
I'm the County JAIL" said Ed. "A-a-
all right, your honor; that's good
place."
He was directed not TO leave the room
and sat down, but IN few moments
Chief Rodgers came to him and told him
TO go down stairs. He started to go, but
the Judge told him to stay, that he was
still in the jurisdiction of the court, and
he did so, saying, "A-a-all right, Judge,
Just as you say"
In moment the Chief came back for
him, but be would not go without the
Judges orders, which were given alter q
short consultation with the Chief.
W. j. Parker's case was then called, on
a charge of obtaining clothes from \.
Zemanslzy under false pretenses, and 1t
being stated that Zemansky did not wish
to prosecute, he was ordered dismissed
on acknowledgment of satisfaction.
The case of Ida Wilson, for vagrancy,
was continued without date.
The court then adjourned to meet at
$50 A. NJ. to-day.
AtlO:l5 o'clock Justice Devine entered
and he and Buckley greeted each other
cordially, showing that, although legally
arrayed against each other, no i'll feeling
existed.
Bailiff Alter declared the court open by
direction of the Justice, and the first case
called was that of W. J. Parker, for OBJ
tanning personal property under false
pretenses. The prosecuting witness not
being present, the case was continued till
the 10th.
M. Sullivan, charged with being drunk
was discharged with an admonition, and
the court adjourned.

Hare Coursing in Placer.

A most successful hare-coursing was
given by J. Parker Whitney of Spring
Valley ranch, near Rocklin, few days
ago, which was largely attended by the
members of the English Citrus Colony
and others. A substantial lunch was
served on the field, and over dozen hare
were run down by the fleet hounds.
1t was considered that a better set of
running hares were seldom seen. as at
this season they are at their best, not be-
ing so fat as later on. when the grain and
feed are so much better. Some of the
members Of the Pacific Union Club of
San Francisco were visiting Mr.. Whitney
and witnessed the sport, including the
President, Mr.. Webster, of the San Fran
cisco Country Club, and Vice-President
r. II. Sprague.

nrR cKIMINAL oHARaEs.

Long ago the REGISTER called atten-
ton to the number Of idle convicts in
the penitentiary, pointing out the folly
and expense Of the system. and its hurt
fulDess both TO the State aud to the
prisoners themselves.
"The devil finds work for idle hands
to do" is a saw that is as true in prison
as out, and there is small hope
of reforming the idle convict,
whose moral mental and physical
condition, consequently, is worse at the
end Of his term than before. He is
turned loose on society less inclined and
less fitted TO work for an honest liveli-
hood.
This is one feature Of the situation.
Some days ago the REGISTER gave
figures obtained from the Auditors
Office showing the great and steady in
crease in the past few years Of the
States criminal charges, the number OF
criminals increasing in proportion. This
is another important feature. In an in
terview in another column this
morning prominent gentleman
calls attention 20 the fact that as con.
yictions increase so does the cost to the
State. There are to-day over 100 able
bodied convicts in tie penitentiary who
have nothing to do and are maintained
in idleneSs by the State-a dead weight
on the taxpayers. The Penitentiary
board wishes TO employ these prisoners
and to make them self-supporting and
not a burden on the community, at
the same time carrying out the
reform system of inducing hab-
it's OF industry in the con-
victs. The proposition is, however,
unpopular among a large class who be-
lieve 10 would bring the convicts into
competition with honest labor We be-
lie7e, however, there can be found a
way around this difficulty if our legisla-
tors will apply themselves TO the task
Of discovering 10.
One thing is certain, the State must
soon drop this burden, yearly growing
heavier, of maintaining its convicted
criminals in idleness. The sooner the
better.

STRANGE rARIFF CONTORTIONs.

STRANGE TARIFF CONEOhilONs.
The esteemed Charleston Gazette in
performing It's great feat Of standing
with one foot on the Democratic plat
form and the other firmly planted on
the principles Of Mckinney assumes a
position more amusing and astonishing
than graceful.
It has gos hold Of one Of the numer-
Gus contradictory reports sent out
from Washington almost every
day about what the Senate
viii do with the Wilson bill and rejoices
over the alleged prospect Of duty on
coal, lumber and sugar.
The Gazette thinks the Wilson bill
discriminates against the South in not
giving lbs products equal protection
with those OF the North. Then it pro
ceeds 90 go the whole high tariff hog,
FAR more than McKINLEY ever swal-
lowed, and, on top of a demand for a
tariff on wool, remarks ia general:
There still remains several articles that
70 is proposed TO admit free and until a
duty is laid on every article of importa-
zion, we shall insist that strict Demo
cratic principle is not adhered 10.
Now. where on earth did the Gazette
get the Impression that a duty on
"eyery article Of importation" is Demo
cratic principle? Even MCKINLEY
added considerably to the free list
The most remarkable part of our
contemporaries astonishing tariff con-
tortions, however, is the wind-up Of its
article advocating al-around Protec-
ton, in which it says that these amend
ments. which it thinks the Senate will
make. giving protection TO coal, lum-
Der. sugar, etc, shave made the Wilson
bill almost purely Democratic, arevenue
tariff bin, with all protective features
eliminated"
tt would take more than a Philadel-
phia lawyer to explain how taking arti-
cles of the free list and putting =
protective duty on them would leave
,.aH protective features eliminated, -
and only the editor of the Gazette, him
self. probably, is able 70 reconcile his
complaint in one breath at the neglect
of the wilson oil to protect the articles
be mentions, with his assurance in an
other that such protection would "elim-
mate" protection. The Gazette is
inconsistent enough to be a leader Of
the McKialey press.
