Special Léginlation and MeformaPoe + 1) . leone : Every successive session of the Legie-. lature, net only of our own, but other 1s that-a—rapid—de-. ‘tion may be ‘traced to the ‘system of] — “special Yegislation which has ‘sprung f a the depot i in endd I the sf Oo Ell ag davoring to D prevent runners for other ie aswell as hack and expressmen, from completely overpowering the-passengers and blocking @ passage ways on the arrival of the trains. Recently officer Barke arrested a man whom he charges with enticing violating the ordinance relating there Trincosordl ar cen Dav -—The me mae passengers “to Otlier féntes, thereby } Bare AND > Eeasiatven, —The Alta, the Sonthern coast have not ao ten. There is a difference of four hundred per cent: in fayor of ‘Nevada, and that might make actin little difference in the demand, for artificial “sapply of moisture. The lack of irrigation is to. Monday Burke arrested A.I. Ze-. kind, whom, healleges, js “rapping” up. The lobby is always at work for some. apecial francise, and the members ~ from eacli locality have a special) bill upon the success of which they base their votes and influence for all other _Mmeasures. . The. ‘consefjuence_ is, that . ‘special legislation is thus backed by a combination of influences, existing as well in the Legislature as in the lobby, beeat all the energies of that body is devoted to that end, to the utter neglect of the interests common : to the State. You may se¢k out the measures’ before our las: Legislature, in which corYupt influences were used and money ‘is said to have been paid, and it will be found that each-andevery-one-is for the Vallejy route and charges him with disturbing the peace, It seems: that Zekind is'a baggage agent on the Vallejo route, and isin the “habit of being present on the arrival of the Sown trains on the Central read, for the-constriiction f bktensi' works will add vastly to the valué of -our productions, ant she . wealth oF « our farmers. ~~~ a Phe Alta: -thotgh about tight in its -conelusions as te the necessity of irrigation-to diversity of ‘products, is very far under the mark i in its figures, ‘Phe total rain-fell in this ¢ounty was 52.04 what purpose we Know. not. Now, the ordinance forbids runners from mingling with the-pagsengers inside of the railing ; lietice the difficalty between Burke and Zekind.Minority REPRESENTATION.—The theory of minority representation, tays the Vakland Hews; is abaqut to be put inte practical effect in the State of New York. On the 17th, of May an specially designed to benefit a class to ~-the detriment of the general interest. Who would charge that. money was ‘msefi to secure the passage of a. law to . . make-every man in the State pay his proportion of taxation—the State Equab ~ =jgation Bill? and who doubts that mon€y, Wasiused to secure’ the special ex-etiption of capital from taxes by the passage of the Mortgage Bill? We are informéd by onewho knows -whereof he speaks, that $25,000 was offered for a single vote on one.of the special . . bills with money init, and this is but a.specimen of the influences used to a gteater or less degree in ali such meas ures. 2 : Again, special legislation occupies she’ larger part of the time of the Legislature. Hf the time of the last ‘besgion constimed in the discussion of private franchises and special’ bills were . taken out,.there would not ‘be ten days ~ Teal substantial work left, and the State . ‘would be ‘better off by the expenditure of money, , for legislation of 110, days, and immeasurably better off by the absence of. all such special legislation. The’ first great step to be taken therefore in réforming dur Legislatare, is ‘to abolish and disconntenance special législation of all kinds, and ‘let no power be lodged in the legislative de except to.pass laws in which al! the people are interested. Let the general laws provide for all local enterprises ahd franchises, and increase the powers of the Board of Supervisors, so that it usay embrace ail matters of local iaterest, and then if thieving schemes are passed the people of the counties most ititerested can attend to those who prostifate their office to base uses Let the power of special legislation be taken away, and the rogues whe. go te the Legislature will be honest from te: " ceseity. . The stealings will ‘be small. and where there is no carcase to—pluck. the rogues will be less: ambitious to go Let the people take a bold stand in favot of the reformation in legislation,. and.we shall soon have no cause) .to -dread-the-sessions--of-our_Legisiature + as He, do_the plague, If she work: were decreased 80 phat a session of 3t or 60 days will serve to attend to al mattets of” legislation, the expense reduced directly by“ the saving _o. cost in running the Legislature, print_ing documents‘and ‘statutes, would ip a Tew years liquidate the entire Stal ~ debs. Men who desire honesty in otfice, who want to put an end to corruytion and peculation without regard & party, ought. to insist. first in delegat ing special and local legislation te loca authority, in shortening the sessions + the Legislature, and in the nominatio: and election of none other than hones: mento office. Rusu FILes oF THIS “on can ‘be found in "New ‘York, at the office o GeorP. Rowell & Co. Advertisin; Agenis, No. 40 Park Row. SS nLaEenanenaa MM. @RoMoF was celled the riches! nierchiant in Russia. He died the other day; and left $16,500,000, a riment. election will be held ‘in that State for ‘seven Justices of the Court of Appeals. By the amended Judiciary Article voted for and carried last: Fall, no elector can vote for more than. the Chief Justice and four Associates, leaving two of the Justices to be chosen by the minority party. Thos if the Democratic party’‘is successful it cam only elect fivé members of the Court, the Republicans getting two, and vice versa. It is’ bard to tell how this new method will work bat’a fair test will now be had, and if it Operates satisfactorily the principle of minority. representation;: will no doubt be adopted in other States, and in the selection. of all.other. officers as well as those of the thesodiciary, Pook Cror, — ~The Stockton Independent says: We are sorry to be obliged to report that’the grain’crop in that portion of San Joaquin county, west of the San Joaqain river, will be “giniost d total failure. The rains for} the past: Winter have’ nét ‘extended so generally over thewhole State as usual. ; Some localities. have pad sufficient to secure a good crop while localities but a short distance removed theretrom the rainfall has been mach less. We are satisfied that: mote rain has fallen at Stockton than on. the west side of the San Joaquin, and. probably more in Yolo county than at Stockton. ANOTHER SwINDLE.— People of the interior have regularly~paid their taxes on mortgages or money loaned, but in San Francisco. these taxes have: been withheld for the past ‘three years; and mortgage exemption law: provides for refunding this‘money to those who advanced it. It not only exempts capital trom taxation in the future, but provides that $3,126,101 85 due; and which }, should. have, been, paid ipte.the County. . . and State Treasury. shall be paid back. Nevada and ovhér ¢ontities™ have taith. ) rally collected and paid over the State proportion of such taxes, thus obeying the law requiring taxation to be equal. San Francisco capitalists dishonestly withheld, by consent of local officers, their proportion of these taxes, and they are rewarded for dishonesty by -a law, not only exempting them from taxation inthe future, bat refunding the taxes that should have been paid in the past. There’s justice witha venweance. "A Mistake —The Appeal says. the Antioch Ledger, published in Contra Costa county, is edited by “E. @% pitch is worth $25 per cord .at the gas Waite, a journalist of experience and ability and an accomplished gentle. mao.” The item is entirely correct except that Mr. Waite does not edit. the Ledger or any other ther paper. Welearn from the Rec the Record that Frank W. Goss, legislative correspondent of he Cali last Winter, is to take editorial -harge of the Appeal, in whose hands he publishers propose to. give their vaders goss. THE Commissioner of Patents says hat all quarrels about velocipede pat ‘nts have ceased. They made his bueiness quite lively at one time. Admitting thie conclusions of the Alta itis demonstrated that the -mountain counties have sh@advantage in natural moisture, and Nevada county is provided with its complete system of ditches. and canals with, splendid facilities: for irrigation. This ‘with the excellent soil and cliniate, give Tt advantages for diversified agricaltore unequaled by any other locality in the State. CALIFORNIA. VEGETABLES AT THE East.— We cull the annexed from the columns of the San Francisco Bulletin : A well known Front street merchant recently, packed champagne: basket full of the ordinary vegetables in our market, and sent it on by ‘express to hia resident eisnee in New York. The varieties enclosed included green peas, Dew potatoes, asparagus and cauliflewers, together with a lot of Calitornia Jemons thrown ia to make the package neat. In ten days time they arrived at their destination and created. no small Sturpriee and astonishnient among those . acco to whom they were exbibited. A dinner was given in honor ofthe occasion, und, as a matter of course, the vegetables from the Golden State were its’ prominent feature. All were in excellent order, and being so far in advance of the season in the Eastern States Were eaten with the relish and gusto usually accorded such culinary delica cies. Some talk bas arisen among some of the’ participants of importing the, to them, precious products of our’ State_Fer—which—are—rare-orout Of season our epicurean neighbors in New York will pay almost any price. a rns Orrve CuLTuRE.—The Santa Barbara Press says: It is a begutiful debates Gag young and vigorous olive trees just. coming into bearing in and around Santa Barbara: Mr, J. E:4éonx has 500 beautiful five year old trees, eight to twelve. feet high, whieh will begin this year to pay the cost of culture. “Mr. A. Packard. has. 1,000 ‘excellent trees, six years old, which will return a beautiful crop to their industrious and b gay hel ing-owner. * They bore well last year. Messrs, Fernald, Blanchard’and “Towle, have 4,000 four year old trees, in.a most vigorous and flourishing: condition, on their charting little hillside, northeast of town. ‘These are some of the larger tracts; devoted to the ‘cultivation of these valuable productions. But.they, are also ze lously cultivated of many other lots about towns » By another year the numberof these trees will be idouble. Dr, JL. Ord gathered from ten olive tree’, seven pears old, over one hundred gallons of: good olives, and’ does not consider it. anything remarkable.
