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

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.

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.

They bore well last year. Messrs,

4,000 four year old trees, in.a most
