Permitted to Go Hence.

John Seeley and George Wilson. the
two men who are alleged to have bum
coed James Kennedy of Truckee out
of his available cash and superfuous
clothing, about a week ago. were be-
fore Justice Davis yesterday and were
given twenty-four hours in which to
leave the city.
On Monday last their attorney. J. F.
Brown, interposed a demurrer to the
statute governing the case. holding it
to be unconstitutional. and he yester-
day appeared to argue the point. He
stated however, that if his clients were
allowed to leave the city he would not
press the matter.
w. A. Anderson, who acted for City
Attorney de Ligne-the latter being Ill
said he realized that the vagrancy
statute was weak, and that if it was
attacked it would probably be declared
unconstitutional, as. the Act itself had
never been signed by the Governor.
Under the circumstances he was will
ing to give the men a chance to get out
of the city. as their room was much
more to be desired than their COM
pany. They were accordingly turned
loose.

Spanish Governments Bill to
Authorize Peace.

London, Sept. 9.-According 90
the Madrid correspondent of the
Times the following is the text of the
bill authorizing the Government to
conclude peace:
1.-The reverses suffered by our arms
in the unequal struggle to which we
were driven in order to defend the
honor of the nation and maintain it's
rights. deprived us at an early stage
Of the elements required eor continu-
ing the war.
..The bravery of our soldiers and
sailors proved insufficient, as did the
calm attitude of the nation, ever
ready to shed its. blood and sacrifice
It's resources for the honor Of the
Spanish flag.
.separated by wide seas from the
territories it was the object to pro.
tect, and these territories being
closely blockaded, so that our few re-
naming ships could not reach them,
her Majesty's Government has heen
compelled to admit the bitter truth.
which is that an end must be put to
the war.
s'The sense of responsibility en-.
tailed by the preliminary peace nego-
tiations has weighed most heavily on
the Government. Notwithstanding
it fully appreciated its duty toward
the country the Government has had
to consent to these preliminary nego.
tiations, and to bow TO the cruel sac
ri6ces imposed by sheer necessity.
For this reason. and because peace
must be purchased at the cost of a
cession Of territory and the abandon.
ment Of sovereignAr rights, the Govern
ment has thought it expedient to
sound the Cortes before concluding
the treaty, the ratifcations of which
will be duly notified to both Cham
bers in accordance with constitution.
al law.
stThe Government, whose moderate
language will not be found fault with
by the representatives of the nation,
limits itself TO submitting to the
Cortes the following bill, whose first
and only article is:
&c The Government is authorized to
renounce rights of sovereignty and to
cede territory in the Spanish colonies
in connection with the peace pre-
liminaries agreed upon with the Gov
ernment of the United States OF
America s"
The Times correspondent says the
bill is signed by all the ministers.
