Year: 1859

In accordance with motion which was
carried on Saturday last, the House went in
to Committee of the Whole to-day at u
o'clock, to take into consideration the Re
venue Bill introduced by Mr.. Young, of Ne
vada. Hon. Phil Moore in the chair long
debate upon the various sections and pro-
visions of the bill was looked for, but after
hearing an important amendment read, the
committee arose and reported and little or
no discussion was had until after the Assem-
bly, had accepted the report. When the com.
mittee had risen Mr.. Young made state.
ment concerning the merits of the bill, show
ing thereby to the general satisfaction of the
House that a reduction of the ad ualorem tax
could very properly be made and that the
State demanded the passage of such n law as
the bill suggested. Strange to say, the House
voted aye .pon the final passage Of this very
important bill, without dissenting voice
Many growing tax payer will smile good
naturedly when he is made aware of this new
made law.


An appropriation of two thousand dollars
as payment to II. Toler Boraem, Esq for his
volume ofSupreme Court Reports, passed the
House this morning with but little opposi-
ton The House had already set a precedent
in granting Harvey Lee a similar sum, per
volume, of his reports and in justice could
not make an invidious distinction in refusing
Mr. Boraem remuneration for his we'll direc-
ted labors


1t would seem that the opponents of the
billrepealing the Guager law are determined
to make every other measure that may arise,
hinge upon the proposed repeal. To day
bill, introduced by Mr.. Hancock, of Los An
geles, and plagiarizcd from Mr.. Fuller's bill.
concerning the aduteration Of wines and Ii
quors, was called up in the House. / say
this bill is pldgidri.cd from Fullcr's bill, and
so indeed it is in its main features; but in ad
dition to the propositions contained in the
original, is one making the State Guager an
er-ot6cio inspector of wines and liquors,
which suggestion will of course have to be
acted upon as question incidental to the
passage or rejection of the Guager repeal bill
itself 1t would be matter of little wonder
if even the Bulkhead bill and the Chinese
Emigration act were yet ingrafted into this
most stupendous Of all bugbears There can
be little doubt that the Governors party is
greatly in the minority, but they have GER
tainly shown much ingenuity and no incon
siderable degree of bull dogishness in their
manner of battling for the preservation of
General Addisons official head


The branch Insane Hospital Till hvs been
made the special order for Saturday at two
o'clock P. NJ If the report be true that the
Marysvillans are "erazy" to have an Insane
Asylum erected in their city, it would GER
tainly be nothing else than an act Of mercy
and humanity to make the proposed bill
law, and to proceed with the erection of the
branch" and the manufacture of straight |
jackets, at once.


Mr.. Hills bill as it is called, passed the Sen
ate today, notwithstanding the bitter oppo-
stion which has been waged against it by the
San Francisco Bulletin and the clique that
follows in its wake. This bill fixes the sala-
ries of the various officers of San Francisco
county, regulates the fees, preseribes the
number of deputies etc. Its discussion occu-
pied the attention of the Senate during the
greater part Of the days session


left the Senate Chamber while Mr.. Allen |
was talking upon the motion to reconsider
the vote whereby Mr.. Parks Free Bridge
bill passed. Your telegraphic reporter will
probably inform you of the action of the
Senate upon this matter. At this present
writing am unable to state, having retired
for the day from the tiresome scenes of Legis-
latve stupidity and ensconced myself before
the cheerful fire and within the ample arms
of the broad cushioned chair that make V. |
BIS quarters so enticing and SO comfortable
upon such raw and gusty day" as this


The Bulkhead bill is to be considered in
Committee Of the Whole of the Senate to-
morrow. Perhaps some noteworthy occur
rences may arise before final action is taken
regarding this quite important matter "If
so be" | will jog your correspondents memo
ry by sticking pin in
