PRB is ey Bone. April 23. Corrupting _ the Legisiatare and THE State Norma. ScHooi.—The lature passed an Act, giving-the by Schoolto San Jose andfeppointed s-comimision to select a site. The commission performed their part of the work, and have succeeded in stirring up a local war at San Jose. A correspondent of the Call, writing from the seat __. Swindling the People. ~~ ‘The Saving Institutions of San Fran‘cisco, according to their own demands. ~ made against depositors, assert that it has cost them ten per cent of all collections in the past three: ‘Fears to defeat by. mortgages. which. simply means that it cost ten per cent. to secure the passage of the iniquity known as the “Mortgage Exemption Law.”According to Carter's Real Estate} Circular, the amount of money loaned i on mortgages by the principal banking institutions and a few of the capitalists 4 site of the Institation. of war, says: “The city is wild on account of . the Tox Schoct. _ The Commission appointed . by the Legislature, consisting of Gov. Haight, Dr. Lacky, and Superintendent Fitzgerald, have selected a part of what Phis tract Hes: east of the city, across Coyote Creek, and is-entitely without the city limits. . Those of our citizens who own property Hin that: neighborhoodate, of course, perfectly satisfied with the location, but the grest majority. of our people are terribly incensed at the action of the of San Fraticisco, for three years past, was $34,734,465, atid the amount of taxes that should have been paid, was $3,125, 101 85. This amount was withheld, and the State deprived of its share of the money, taxes having been proportionately increased in other counties on this account. Since the passage of the Exemption Law, borrowers Want to get back this $3,126,101 85 which was advanced to capitalists and bankers t6 pay taxes; bat whijch was cwithbeld aad used by bank Bat not satisfied with the free of the money, these institutions deu per cent. fer cost of defeating the tax on mortgages, amountiug in the aggregate to $312,610 18, withheld unjustly from the people, or ased asa corruption law throogh the Legislature for the benefit of capital, and to the detriment ef the best interests of the State. The fact that the bankers claim so large an amount of money as the cost_of securing this law isa tecit admission that it was secured by corrapt means,and with goch a fund to use, wrang from the jhard earned money of small depositors, the Savings Banks could easily obtain Committee. They blame the Governor and Dr. Lucky, excusing Mr. Fitzgerald from any responsibility in the matter. That the selection -made by the Commission renders the establishment . of the School at this place impracticable, there is no doubt. The city will have to wait until the next Legislature before it can extend its limits so, as -to comprehend the tract selected. The citizens will not ‘subsciibe enough funds to buy the site, and the city will have to delay the matter until an enabling Act can be got through the next Legislature. In the meantime San Francisco will keep the School, and the chances are that the next Legislature will change the location to Napa, Petalama or.some other place. The fact is, we are out several thousand dollars and bave nothing to show for it. There will probably be an application for a mandamus requiring the Commission to locate the School, inside of the city liniits, or to show cause why they should not do so. This proceediog will result in litigation, which can readily be prolonged until the next Legislature changes the location. .Altoge‘her, we are ina “fix,” and San Joseans are in the Legisiatare,retarn to the charge, and secure from what appeared to be a hopeless — an one majority. _. The gross outrage perpetrated on the small property holders of the State is greaily increased by the effects of such alaw upon business and property, What man would bay, plant and improve lands, to be taxed just in proportien as he improves them, when he can get two per cent. for money, and have it exempted from taxation? Who woald waste money in taxable property, whem it may be effectually saved ~~frem taxation by lending it and taking a Mortgage upon real estate The resalt of this law will eventually be to drive capital ext. of ail other imvestments except ss secured by mortgages, and consequently.to tax every industry of the State for interest money, and also to make up the deficiency in revenue.caused by the exemption of all meney from taxation. A great deal has been said in regard to the motion ‘made in the ‘United States Supreme Court, for a rehearing in the legal tender casea, and it has even been charged that recent appointments of Judges of that tribunal were made for the express purpose of procur_ing a reversal of the decision. The fact that the motion to reopen these eases has been denied is sufficient refutation of the charge, A dispatch states that the Court unanimously allowed the withdrawal of two legal tender cases, and decided not to hear an argument on the remaining one, and the decision therein remains as heretofore made, In giving the reasons for not reopeniag the case, in which the Coart held the Legal Tender Act invalid as to contracts made belore its passage, ' Chief Justice Chase said : “None of the four Judges now on the Bench who concurred in that opinion in the case,desired having the case reheard, and un. der a rule of the Court, without consent . of some ‘one of the Judges who concur. red in the ween © of a case, it could not be reheard; _ frantic.” Grass Valiey items. We obtain the following from the Grass Valley Union of yesterday : There are seven applications filed, asking that colored voters be admitted to the poll list of the town of Grass Pater, in time for the election in May. Withia the incorporation reside twenty colored men whore names are on the Great Register. In the coming struggie for town offices, the ese’ vote will be a power. Free Austin ote showed. us some quartz, gold and sulpharet bearing, which came from the Ophir district, in Placer county. We understand that on Weduesday last, one man on Austin’s ledge took out $50 in an hour. The ledge is situated between Ophir and Newcastle, south of Auburn ravine. Mr. Benson, of the Eagle Hotel, on Main street, is preparing a foundation. for a new and large house on the site now occupied by his hotel. The new building is to be 40 by 60 feet, two stories high, and to be built in the most substantial manner. Tue Non-SectaRian Errort.—The Missouri Democrat says: The movement commenced in this State to prohibit appropriation of public fands to the support of sectarian institutions,: gains strength and favor elsewhere. It ; has been taken in hand by the Reform organization in New York, and in no other State except California is it more necessary. Half a million of dollars has been appropriated during. the last year by the ‘New York Legislature, while every year the city government diverts large sums in aid of sectarian in stitutions. The true way to reach this matter is by amendment of the United States Constitution, prohibiting every appropriation by national, State or local governments to Such objects, and declaring them void. .

California appears to havea few articles for which she deis known as the Sullivan tract-es—the . sires protection ; but as she is a distant . State, the mere announcement of her “cl-ims is sure to. faise a storm. . These articles are wine, brandy, wool and blankets. Pennsylvania, New_York and New England look upon such demands almost in the light of “an outrageous ithpertinence. Mr. Axtell-a few days ago had the audacity to raise his voice in the House against the reduction of the duty on blankets, and of course immediatly excited the animosity of all those who had already suc-: ceeded in securing all the protection they wanted. Blankets, indeed, and for California! And ‘straightway Mr. James Brooks, O'd Liane Whig Protec. manner to Democracy and free ‘trade by the war to abolish slavery, exclaim-ed: “If these are the principles of the Democrats of California, then the Democratic party there. is not worth preserving.” . THE world moves, or rather the New York World is making a move to the tune of the Fifteenth Amendment. : “The Democratic . party, which has more experience, and which has always had greater success than its opponents in managing the votes of ignorant classes, may easily,by some sacrifice of prejudice, frustrate the design of the Republicans in confesring universal suffrage upon the negroes. A little electioneering activity, and adroitness on ouf side will show the Republicans that they have beaten the Visrrors Comine.—A Sacramento dispatch to the Appeal, says: The advance guard of the large number of visitors expected to arrive here from the East this season, passed through this city on Thursday, in the Pullman sleeping car “Minnesota,” chartered expressly for the use of the party.
