any portion of the report. What I do
mean to say is that all members Of the
Judiciary Committee, with one excep-
ton, agree to the conclusion arrived at.
No one is bound to the exact reading OF
the report. Mr.. Banks's report
states that the Judiciary Committee
wants to treat this question as a histori-
cal one, and If the report be accepted
without an opportunity for discussion,
1t will commit TO its doctrines every
member who does not vote against lay

House has the right TO complain that
this Judiciary Committee has discussed
questions which, in no possible way,
were referred to il; and has taken the
opportunity on the highest question OF
privilege to impose an irrelevant and
unjust argument of the question which
does not properly belong to the
resolutions referred to that committee;
nor was it a question of impeachment
which was referred to the Credit Mo-

great length and nobody got into a
furore about it.

WE invite the attention of such of our
readers as think that justice and the ad-
ministration of the laws have much in
common in San Francisco, to consider
alton of an article in our local columns,
in which the cases of some of the witness
es detained in our Jail are given. To
take one case: A laboring man arrives
here in search of work to support his
wife and children, whom he has left be-
hind him in Europe until he can earn
money enough to bring them here. He is
set upon by thieves and robbed of all his
money, SIS. Then what our lawyers call
justice steps in and throws the victim into
n filthy underground dungeon. There he
has been for seventy-scven days, during
which he has not once seen the light of
the sun, and there he will stay, immured
with drunken and crazy people, China
men and thieves, until some well fattened
Judge, who is now of fishing, gets time
to attend to his case. And all this while
his wife and children are probably starry
ing. We would like to shove the four
District Judges, the District Attorney,
the Municipal Judge, and about twelve
of our most prominent lawyers, down
this black hole and keep them there for a
month. We think it probable that after
they came out justice would move more
expeditiously in San Francisco San

ELECTION OF AssEssoRs.-In all the
counties which have made nominations
thus far, Assessors have been nominated
and will be voted for, Notwithstanding
that section of the Codes which extends
the term of the present incumbents of
that office, and tho opinion of Attorney
General Love in favor of the constitu-
tionality Of the law. Undoubtedly test
case will be carried to the Supreme Court
and the matter decided prior to the time
for commencing assessments next year.
1t is held by eminent lawyers that should
n decision against the section Of the Code
be rendered, those counties in which no
election are held this year will be with
out Assessors, and the acts performed by
the holdover incumbents null and void.
If this view is correct it would be we'll to
elect an Assessor with other county off

Oae of the most ferOeious and sue

been for many years the terror of
Southern Italy has at last been hunted
down and his band dispersed. This
company of maraudefs does not APP
pear to be numerous, being only nine
persons, but their chief, ManZi, had
pursued his depredations so long and
with such uniform good fortune that
dread of his power gave him the pop
ulation of entire villages as passive. II
not active, sympathiZers. Fortunate
ly he had lately to do with the Prefect
who found out the safest and readiest
way of dealing with such men. The
Prefect of Salerno did not cucumber
his movements with formidable
military force, so as to give warning
Of its approach wherever it went; he
| treated ManZi as q wild Deast TO be
tracked to its lair and shot down by
any sportsman lucky enough to get
within reach. The brigand and his
followers, after various doublings,
were fairly caught in the tolls, when
that happened which has so often Oc-
Cured to tiger and bear hunters in In

men, brought to bay, turned fiercely
on their pursuers and sold their lives
as dearly as they could. They killed
one gendarme and wounded three
others, six of themselves and thelE
leader perishing in the struggle. With
the extirpation of this scOurge the
province of Salerno is now free from
the incubus of brigandage, and the
worst legacy of its former vicious and

A New York Herald special from

OF Cesarism in America editorially,
using the argument that change in

be welcome to the people, if possible,
as q means of effecting the extinction
in America Of system of constant re-
election of the executive and its at
tendant evils, inasmueh IS the present
plan fails to secure TO the community
the benefits which were expected from
it, or involves the presence OF evils
greater than those which it was
framed to prevent. There can be no
doubt that the election Of President
Grant to a third term Os office may
have important consequences not in
tended by those who have suggested
it. A third presidential term may be
followed by fourth, and the lease Oi
power may be again renewed until il
is terminated only by the failing
health or termination Of life of the
holder of the office. 1t may wei

great and important change il this

to largely influence the general state
Of politics in America. 1t would be
likely TO secure to the people of the
United States the services of better
men, and to render the process Oi
their appointment to Office less de-
grading to themselves and all con-
cerned in it. The details of an Amer.
lean Presidential election are read on
this side of the Atlantic with amuse-
ment and disgust, and there are many
evidences which go to show that they
are looked on in much the same way
in America. 1t would be worth while {
to try blan which could do little
harm and might do much good. 1t is
the simplest plan Of reform which was
