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,
