Sunday, December 24, 1871. Amending the State Constitution. The suggestion of Governor Haight finds more favor thaitgeemed probable at first. Se many amendments are proposed by the method heretofore adopted—that is, by separate vote of the people on each, after adoption by two successive legislatures, the proeess occupying four years—that it would seem either these amendménts are neédléss or bill has been introduced providing fora Convention. Should it pass, says the Bulletin, the people will bet required to vote for or against the proposition, at the next election of members of the Legislature, which ‘will’ riot be held until September, 1873—nearly two years hence. Ifa majority vote. in the affirmative, the Legislature which meets in: December, 1873, will then call a convention to be held within six months after the passage of the law, and to consist of not less than 120 members, the number of Senators and ‘Assemblymen. Probably delegates would be voted for at the same time as the popular verdict was taken on the. original proposition. In this case, the delegates chosen in September, 1873, would meet sometime during the summer of 1874. The new Constitution prepared would next. require to be provided for by. law. The time for the’ special election, to be provided for by law. The time for the special election might be anticipated by. the Legislature of 1873-4, and might occur in the latter year, And should the Constitution be ratified by popular vote, the Legislature of 1875-6 would assemble under and be governed by its provisions. This is the process fixed by the time as is required to adopt amendments.separately by the Legislative method. The latter has the advantage of inexpensiveness at least.— Whether there is so much necessity for a general revision of the organic law as to warrant incurring the expenses of a convention and a special election, which would not: be less than $250,000, and facing the risk of not getting proper convention and satisfactory instrument after all, is a. question to be carefully considered. Why may not all the amendments thought necessary be introduced at this ‘session of the Legialaturé, referred to a Special Joint Committee, by that Committee be carefully revised, und then, if approved by this Legislature and the next, be sybmitted to the people at the September election in 1874? Would not this plan meet all requirements and obviate the expense and risks of a Convention and special election?’ If this plan were agreed upon and the Joint Committee appointed at an early day all the amendments thought desira‘ble could be presented and thoroughly discussed, by legislators and the press, in time to sécure a report and financial action before adjournment, tiie —— > On Friday morning a dispatch was received on this coast, apnouncing a severer storm than the last, within forty-eight hours. The prediction has in part been verified, for the storm commenced on Friday evening fibout ‘6% o'clock and continued through the night. The rain was accompanied with ‘very strong winds, and there is every prospect that the storm will continue. This is the ‘third or fourth instance of recent oocurrence ijn which the predictions of the Signal Service Department at Washington have been verified in regard to approaching) stor The last storm in San FranciscoWay did legs damage to shipping than many previous ones of less, violence had done, because they had notice of the it. The Signal Service has gotten to be one of the institutions of the coun‘try, and it seems to have the confidence of the ‘‘clerk of ‘the weather.” Finngy.—The Santa Cruz Sentinel is out in favor of Senator back’’ on Sargent acd voted tee Cole, A very. good reason, Finney is fishy arid if sent to Congtéss’’ may go porting: Finney.

The California Pacific and Western Pacific, so far as communication with the Bay is concerned, are inoperative; until they are in order, however, extra steaniers will run between this city and San Francisco to accommodate travel. The Sacramento Valley Railroad will probably be all right to-day. Trains .wefe running yesterday between this city anda point on the California Pacific Railroad’ two or . three miles this side of Davisville, just beyond the first break in the road, which break was yesterday repaired!) The other break -betwéen the city and Davisville will be repaired to-day, in all probabilty, as will also bethe road. between Davisville and Woodland. Tue Misgace Ovutrace.—There is a law in force in this State, says the Petaluma Argus, passed many years ago, by which members of the Legislature were allowed twenty cents per mile, each way as traveling expenses from their residences to the seat of government, This is an outrage against which the people of the State ought to emphatically protest. One Senator, McCoy of San Diego, draws the snug little sum of $260, while his actual traveling expenses to and from Sacramento will not probably exceed $80, Sonoma’s Senator is allowed $52, while the absolute cost of traveling in first class style from Petaluma to the Capital and back is just $10. The San Francisco members receive $46 80 each, for an outlay of $8, and six hours time; and ‘all others" throughout the State in the same proportion.

Ridley. who came up on the train on Friday, says Governor Stanford telegraphed from San Francisco that a violent gale was blowing from.the north, unrcofing houses, doing great damage, and cautioning the railroad people to prepare for it.

I pity her tive dollars,’ said the Methodist, as he threw a V into the girl’slap. He had read an incident like this im a Sunday school paper. “I double your er said, as heslowly placed an-X over the V, ‘‘I go you one_bettér,’’ the Methodist bawled as he put ten on the other money. ‘I cover your stake, Brother P.,”’ and the Baptist Clergyman’s expression showed he was gétting excited, asa twenty from his purse was put on the rapidly increasing pile. ‘‘I’ll top the spoons with 4 fifty,” remarked Brother P., as he drew out his last note and placed the sum with the others, looking exultingly at his) companion.— ‘‘Here is a hundred dollar note, little girl,’’ said the Baptist quite. blandly, now that he: had yot ahead of his Methodist brothcr-in-the-Lord} ‘tyou may rake in the spoils, for you've. ‘cleaned out’ and ‘euehred’ both my friend and myself, and left us both ‘dead broke.’’’ Then they walked off humming a hymn. Naw what we Would liké to know is, what’ did those clergymen do before they were converted? THe Chinese 1x Exctaxn.—The following article from the Philadelphia ‘Press would: seem to indicate the probability of the introduction of Chinese labor in England. We should hardly think the experiment would prove successful, as the Chibor im California. at the present rates of wages, would not work for the wages paid by the coal masters to their white miners: ae The coal masters of Lancashire, Durham and Northumberland, tired of being beaten over and over aguin by the miners, who are constantly turning out on the time or wages questions, have determined, it is id, to import laborers from the lowery Land to the Land of Fog. There may be a difficulty on account of the climate. In Australia. and in California the climate is even better than John Chinaman has been used to; but England, with its smoke and fogs and chills, may prove impracticable forhisimmigration, Digging in underground, dark mines is very different, too, from the fresh air and bright sunshine they must leave behindthem. It is possible, indeed, that they may drive the English pit. man, clamoring for his eight-hours’ day, out of the field. If the Chinese do immigrate to England, perhaps they wi tek opium smoking to John It would be poetical — if they did, lor it was the ritish East India Company which, . in ada; onal Soins upon the Chinese.

THe Chinese 1x Exctaxn.—The following article from the Philadelphia ‘Press would: seem to indicate the probability of the introduction of Chinese labor in England. We should hardly think the experiment would prove successful, as the Chibor im California. at the present rates of wages, would not work for the wages paid by the coal masters to their white miners: ae The coal masters of Lancashire, Durham and Northumberland, tired of being beaten over and over aguin by the miners, who are constantly turning out on the time or wages questions, have determined, it is id, to import laborers from the lowery Land to the Land of Fog. There may be a difficulty on account of the climate. In Australia. and in California the climate is even better than John Chinaman has been used to; but England, with its smoke and fogs and chills, may prove impracticable forhisimmigration, Digging in underground, dark mines is very different, too, from the fresh air and bright sunshine they must leave behindthem. It is possible, indeed, that they may drive the English pit. man, clamoring for his eight-hours’ day, out of the field. If the Chinese do immigrate to England, perhaps they wi tek opium smoking to John It would be poetical — if they did, lor it was the ritish East India Company which, . in ada; onal Soins upon the Chinese.
