2 ArtemPt To Rog tue STaTE TREAS‘URY The passage by the Senate of a bill to alle w Hall. & Garrison $5,000 for damages fesulting from the destruction of the printing press destroyed in Vi.) salia, deserves no milder appellative than an aliémipt to rob the State Treasge ary. We hazard the opinion that the entire concern was not worth $1,500, including good will and fixtures, apd the destruction by the soldiers pfly saved it from a natural death in a few months. Those. familiar with the career of L. P. Hall, as editor and pub" ligherto this Stete, are-welkonware of this fact. His touch has been death j to any newspaper he has controlled. But'this is not the point. It is the duty of the authorities to protect property, aud in case of the failuredaniages should be paid. It matters not how objectionable the sentinients of a press may be, the community has no right to destroy it by mob violence, any more than any other private property, and when such things are done a reasonable‘compensation should be paid. This is not only jyst, but it is sound policy. But it is also true that the party whose agents were guilty, should pay the damages. -In this case it is admitted hat the destruction was by United States soldiers,and the United States government is therefore responsible in this view of the case, and the Senate of California had no more right to take , than to vote money in pay_ ment for Negroes emancipated in Tennessee by the United States authorities. There is still another view of the ease, Which it would be well for Democratic Asgsemblymen to consider before voting for this bill. , At the last session of the Legislature a law was passed ander which Hall & Garrison might obtain redress, It will be found on page. 418 of the-statates of 1867-8, and be-. fore casting a vote for this iniquitous proposition, every Assemblyman should read this law. It makes the city or county responsible for all real'or personal property destroyed by a meb, and this law provides how suits shall be commenced, and affords ample opportunity for getting even. A bill passed similar to this, allowing Hall & Garrison to. sue, would be just, but their friends object to such a course, for the reason that the proprietors will becompelled to prove on oath the value of the material, and the county will have ‘an opportunity to show the extentiof damage, which a correspondent of the Union states that, Hall himself said wos only worth $1000 atithe time of. the destruction of property. If they are damaged as they no doubt were, let the Legisla” ture give them a ¢hance to prove the extent before a jury and recover from the county in which the violence was done: ‘Tye Senate has, instead of so doing, attempted to rob the tax payers of every county in the State to pay an outrageous price for damage which was sustaitied by’ the violence of the au‘thorities in Tulare county. It remains to be. seen whether such. a villainous measure will be passed by the Assembly, and signed by the Goverhor. If such a precedent is once established, we may look for hundreds of others of a similar character to be brought up. The Legislature should do Hall & Garrison justice we hold, but the people of this State have some rights in the case, and.should not be robbed by the payment of the outrageous price named in the Senate bill. Los ANGELES,by .a public meeting, has decided against granting her county bonds ia aid of the’ extension of the _ San Joaquin Railroad through San BerMardino, bat, will donate to the road an amount equal to the taxes it will pay” to.the county in twenty years. Srreer RamRoabd In Strockron.— .A bill. was introduced in the Senate and has been referred :to the San Joaquin delegation, to authorize H. 8.

Nor VERY SuCcESsFUL.—The Suez learned what the French are learning pover:"The first mercantile ‘vesser that passed through the Suez Canal on its way to Bombay was wrecked ia the Red Sea.

And the canal must be protected from the sands ; ‘Will haye to be. planked or. timbered, THE Sacramento Valley Beet-Sugar riment, resulting in a fair grade of brown sugar. By ¢areful nianipulation it is ascertained that seven per cent. of ‘sugar, or 140 pounds, can be extracted per ton of raw material, besides a residum of molasses fit for distillation. In Eu rope the yield is but one per dent more, with the advantage of the best machinery. ‘The stockholders seem greatly elated. ‘A CHANCE FOR CALIFORNIA.—In the House of Representatives Warner introduced a bill for the more equal distribution of the national banking capital} providing that the amoant of circulating notes issued by banking as sociations,.shall.not exeeed $340,000,000, the preference to be given in issuing said notes to sections having the least National Bank circulation, THE Brooklyn plasterers, who havé been receiving five dollars per day of eight hours, now receive for the same time, four dollars.and a half. ‘The concession was made:in order that the employers favorable to the society might not be pat to a disadvantage by those hostile to the society who get non-union men to work for four dollars ‘and a half per day of ten Hours, ‘acces A LETTER‘ from New Orleans says more than:1,000 white laborers, mostly Germans, together with colored, had arrived there’ front the West, during the past week, to work on sugar plantations in the Téche countfy. They get $45 a month, their board paid and a free passage, . Jou Ricmy-et al, residents of Sydney, who claim to be relatives of the late Dayid C. Broderick, have commenced svitin the United States Circuit Court against John A, McGlynn to recover possession of the Broderick estate. It is said that petitions are going up to Harrisburg, praying the Pennsylvania Legislature’ to re-enact the ‘Ten Commandments. An exchange. commends.the matter to the California Legislature. PRESIDENT GRANT has tendered Col. Coey, Postmaster of San Francisco, the position of Internal Revenue Collector, vice Rawlins, deceased, which has been declined, the Colonel preferring his present office. THE TeXas cattle, of which large numbers are comifig into the lower end of the State, are in fine condition, with no.symptoms of disease.
