ae NEVADA CITY, CAL, Saturday, December 23,. 1871. 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 ; hero F i . month $300 on property tax and $16 understands its contents, for he must . child or children are taught in a priplated goods,‘vases and table cutlery, . anes whbat. Whi fan ee 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.

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.
