NEVADA CITY, CAL,

The Daily Transcript
Bill.
The bill. introduced
the education of ¢hildren,’’
¥
The Legislature and its Dangers.
namely,the election of a Senator, was
‘fortunately settled early jn the session. Notices have been given of a
large number of important bills,many .
of which are probably not yet framed.
Quite a number of special laws have
already been introduced. This spec,
ial legislation has been a very great
evil, and althongh special Jaws are
often necessary, they should be acted
upon with the greatest caution by the .
Legislature. We think that the lo.
cal delegations ought not to be trust.
‘ed by the Legislature upon these
special matters as they now are, ‘but \
» that every special bili before its. pas.
sage should be as well understood as .
the general laws. No member ought

or at home, in such . suitable for presents for Christmas, Magee P
share the odium of all the bad, as .
well as the credit of all the good laws,
whether general or special.
rance of the provisions of
not exonerate legislators from blame. .
Another error which the
is likely to fall into, is the greater in.
crease Of attaches than is required .
for the work, and the conséquent.in.
crease of the contingent expenditures of the Legislature. These ex-.
penses should be cut down far below .
the like expenditures of the last Leg.
islature. Members should do the .
work for which they. are sent, and .
not be content to merely occupy their .
seats and cast their votes. They .
must also do the work in the com-.
mmittee room and appoint the Secre-.
taries from their own members,— .
The practice of allowing clerks for ey.
ery committee, with extra compensa.
tion, ought to be abandoned. We!
are well aware that hundreds of men .
are hanging about the State Capital,
of both. parties, importaning membors of both branches to mnake places
for them, and probably the many ‘efforts in this direction is more owing
te this fact than the need of extra
help. Let the members of -the present Legislature ‘avoid this abuse
which was so great a cause of complaint against the last Legislature.
The members will, during the vacation be enabled to see their conatituents and talk over the various
subjects pending before the Legislature, anid after the recess they ought
to go back with the determination to
cut off every useless expense, and defeat-every bad law, whether it be local or general in its character.
No? Bory To pz Kriuxp sy a Mr
Wuery.—One of the most miraculous escapes from death, which has
€ver come under our notice, is thus
described by the Star’s Loy Island
_Teporter, ‘A young daughter of Mr.
Villifen, a miller, at Centreport, L.
I., while near the huge water wheel
which runs the mill, got her dress
entangled in the wheel, ‘and was
driven around and around the wheel
with frightful velocity several’ times
before she was extricated from her
perilous situation. Every time she
arose to the top she cried out for
assistance, but on turning into the
water, with great presence of mind,
She grasped the, buckets and lield her
breath until emerging on the other
aside. A number of children who
were playing with her seemed horrified at her perilous position, and
stood paralyzed, silent Spectators of
the scene. Her father finally heard
the cries of bis child, and, fearing
something wrong, immediately stopped the wheel, When taken from
her dangerous position the child was
nearly benumbed, and‘would have
dropped off probably in a few minutes. One of her legs was broken
aay
and she was otherwise frightfully
bruised! Her life was saved, no
dor.bt, through her remarkable presence of mind. I

person within thé school’ district, he
shall not be Hable to the provisions
of this Act.” The second section
provides for the posting of the new
law in each school district, so that
all may have ample notice of its provisions.
The third section defines the penThe’
parent or guardian, who fails to comply with the Act is adjudged guilty
of a misdemeanor, and. is held liable . "
toafine of not less than $10 nor
more than $20, or imprisonment not
to exceed one day for each $2 of the
the fine so imposed, and for the seeond and each subsequent offense,
the fine is fixed at not less than $20
nor more than $50, and the parties
convicted are also held liable for all
costs of court. The fourth and fifth
sections make it imperative on the
Boards of Education or School Trustees to begin proseentions against all
offenders. The Census Marshall is
obliged to furnish the Board with a
list of allthe children in thd township, together with the plave they attend school, and the parents or
guardians of ajl children who do not
attend some school are to be prosecuted at once. :
The sixth section provides for the
appointment of school inspeotors,
who are obliged to visit each school
as often as once every twelve weeks,
and examine all teachers therein as
to the method, thoroughness and extent of instruction given ty the pupils, and to require that po pupil be
burdened by more than three distinct
studies at one time; and also to, examine all the pupils in the said
schools closely and thoroughly. in
their respective studies. The seventh
séction relates’ to ‘deaf,’ dumb and
blind children and provides for their
education, ‘
We regard this biil as much superior to that introduced by Spencer
of Santa Clara in the House, and we
believe that. it has the unqualified
approval of nearly all the teachers in
the State.
TROUBLE wiTH THE PrUTES.—A
telegram dated Winnerhucca, 18th
instant, says:. Yesterday Natchez,
Captain Sam and Charlie, chiefs of
the Piute tribe, were put off the passenger train while attempting to ride
without paying fare. Serious threats
have beert made by the Indians, and
Captain Natchez telegraphed the Superintendent’ at Wadsworth if the
railroad company found obstructions
on the track to attachno blame to
him. Serious apprehensigns are felt
for the safety of trains, the Indians have threatened to tear away
the track.
