CALL HEADQUARTERS. SACRA-
MENTO, March 10.-Senate bill $780, which
provides that newspaper articles of a GER
tain kind shall be signed, came up before
the Senate this evening, and was made
more emphatic by vote refusing to re-
consider the vote by which it was passed
yesterday.
The motion to reconsider was made by
Senator Smith, who, in moving to take
the matter up again, made another plea
for the rights of newspaper and the
general responsibility which has always
characterized it and which has made it a
paper but collection of signed articles
was, in his Judgment, to rob it of the
element which has made it what 1t is,
and he declared that the bill should not
only be reconsidered but defeated.
Shortridge backed him up in his state
ments and then added few. of his own.
He said the law was a dead letter any
how, and would never amount to any
thing, besides being vicious anad danger
Gus legislation and blow at the guaran-
teed liberty of the press;
Gillette, who had voted for the bill, IA
vored a reconsideration, because, he said,
he had discovered that the bill allowed
suit for omission of the signature to be
brought by any one and half OF the fine
would go to the patriotic citizen who had
the nerve to bring the suit. 1t mattered
little whether the plaintiff was the one re-
ferred to in the article; any one could
bring suit and half the money was his If
it turned out successful
He thought the bill was loosely drawn
in that respect and so he said he would
