stand that California is the land OF genius
as well as of gold.

such that we are constrained to inform our
visitors we never saw such weather before.
The Assembly would have been, more
considerate of the public welfare if it had
appointed the Committee on Retrench-
ment' before it added those forty-three
clerks at 81 day each to the list of at
taches.
Two bills are before the Legislature grant
ing the suffrage to women. One is Spen-
GERS bill, drawn by the Female Suffrage
