This decision does not affect the ‘constitutionality of the law, and though. unconstitutional as a law, it is not so in. its effect as re~-pealing thestatute providing a penalty, and this is the distinction drawn by Judge Sawyer. The Constitution “declares that all laws of a general nature shall be uniform in operation. The Supreme Court has declared, in Smith vs. the Twelfth District Court, 17th Cal., p547: “The Constitution is violated only when a privilege extended to one is denied to another on substanlially the same facts.” This is precisely in point in this privilege of holding lotteries. It was extended to the Mercantile Library by law, and it therefore cannot be denied any other persons, . The act repealed by the last Legislature, prohibiting the carrying of concealed weapons was exactly the same in principle. This, though not in itself a crime was made so by statute. Suppose, instead of repealing the-law, the Legislature had authorized citizens of San Franciseo to catty conccaled weapens, would there be any question that stich a law would rémove the penalty from the entire State, as effectually as the law now on the etatute inchs has done? g “fae Opntion.—On Thursday Judge Sawyer rendered his opinion on the lottery question. He said that he was clearly of the opinion that the Legisla-, ture, in granting the Mercantile Library. the right to carry. on a@ lottery, repealed the Lottery. Act. so far as penalty is concerned, and that there is now no lew inflicting punishment on persens for carrying on lotteries, He fur ther said it may be that the Special Act paseed’ by the last Legislature was unconstitutional, but it was passed by the . Legislatute, a body sworn to support ps “the Constitution of the State,and it was “lA approved by the Governor, who is eminent as @ lawyer, and who must be presumed to have a knowledge of the Constitution. Thesale of tickets went on and no effor} was made to stop it.— When the Legislature passed the spec ial act granting the Mercantile Library the right to hold the lottery, it extended that right to all other parties, for laws of a genefal nature must have an uniform operation and must be enacted for the poor as well as the rich. Laws seeking to puhish one and not the other cannot be recognized. He considered that the epecial act having been passed by the Legislatureand approved by the Governor, it acted ag.a repeal for the penalty provided for the carrying on of lotteries. When the old law was bro~ kee. by the Legislature, it opened the gates and gave equal rights to all w carry on lotteries all over the State.— If the Legislature thought it-was right for one body to hold a lottery it must be right for another body. to hold one also, If the sprcial act “teferred to is conatitutienal, why then the bars have been let down and the ga e is open to: all lotteries to pass through. _ Homst STeALING.—The Grass Valley Union says: Many horses havc been recently stolen im Yaba county, near Wheatland, Wednesday last Jo Jasper, a fariner of Yubs and a fancies ot, horses, came to Grass Valley to inquire a ponte horee he had lost the night before. ' A thief had entered Jarper’s barn and had taken therefrom a find loree. worth $300, and an unbroked colt. The colt was soon abandoned by the thieves. but the a young trotter ie etill missing. other tetas Bas horses. Hoge thieves are pili Ha gate Tongs the ‘working’ of siecle. angix common mountain roads. In the Alta he recently. published an.article.on. the expense of operating the traction en~ gines of Aveling & Porter over ordinary roads. He gives the result of a test of . one of these engines, weighing fifteen. tons, 124. tons of which weight rested upon the driving wheels. This engine, with a. load of 28 tons, passed -overa distance Of 26 milles in 9 hours and 13 minutes traveling time. The road passed over was undulating throughout, with rising gradients of one in twelve, or 440 feet to the mile. Mr. Robinson says: “The consumption of coal and water was much greater per ton per mile during the above tests than during the French experiment, this being due partly to the heavier character of the road traversed. partly to there being longer stopages, during which steam had td Be Kept up, and partly owing to the fact of the engine having a less efficient boiler than that tried by General Morin. The total expenditares of the trip were as follows : 2,300 pounds of coal, $5 75 Oil and water, 88 Labor—Driver, 1 75 = Steersman, vf # Attendant," 75 « . Boy with flag, 50 iiioweuen . for wear and tear of _ engines and wagons, valued at $4,000, at 20 per cent. for one day, 218 Interest on $4,000,at'5 per cent.’ spread over 250 working days per annum, for one day, 1 Total, $12.93 In addition to the above expense the sum of $10 87 was paid for turnpike charges—thus raising the total cost of the trip to $22 80. The net load was 15 tons, and the distance traversed be ing 26 miles, thé total cost per ton, per mile was 58 cents; this being made up of 81 cents for actual workin expenses and 27 cents for turnpike tollé, 'Fhave given the cost of. turnpikes, because, although in our mining districts where traction engines would be used we have’ no such item of expense, it is probable that thesum paid for tolls may approximate tothe cost of maintainance. In such an engine as I should recommend for California, the driver ‘would ‘act as Steersman, and, as we would-need no boy with flag, the traction engine and its train would only require two men to work it, instead of four hands, as in the above trip. Of the handinegs, of Aveline & Porter’s engines, it is only necessary for me to say that at the last trial I witnessed, a six horse engine drew a train) of, two wegeous loaded with 13} tone of iron, around. a semi-; circular bend of 18 feet radius. In conclusion, I consider that for hauling ore, under the majority of circumstances existing in our mining districta, one of Aveline & Porter's eight horse power engines, weighing about seven tons empty, having an extra large fire box for burning wood, and provided, as it. easily might be, with accommodations for carrying 380 or 35 cubic feet of fuel, would be the best en. ine that.could be adopted, and I feel certain that such an engine could per. form haulage ata cost which no horse power c uld compete with.” From these experiments it will be seen that the actual cost of transportation is a little over 3 cents per tun per mile, or taking the distance: to Marys~ ville at forty miles it would.cost about $125 per ton for rutning expenses. If it is true, as Mr. Rebinson thinks, that these engines can be used to advantage op mountain rouds,they would insure cheap transportation of freight to all parts of the county, and during the season when most of our freighting is done, might be used to advantage on any of oor mountain roads.

TWENTY-ONE Hours CoVERED UP. John Oester, a German miner employed in the Metz mine at Gold: Hill, was coveréd by a cave on Thursday, in the incline, 400 feet below the surface. The debris from the old works shut him in so closely that his legs were covered, and he had only a small spece to, live in. In order that he might have all the benefit of the.airhe put out his light and patiently waited to be dug out, His fellow laborers went to work, as they believed, to get out. Ocester’s body, and after 21 hours hard work they were agreeably surprised to hear his voice calling out that he was all right. The Gold Hill Mews reports him as saying, on being delivered :-— “Py Shorge, old. poy, day can’t killa Broossian quite so easy ; can day? You bet dat voz a tam tight place.” He felt as gay as a peacock, and only complained of being “mighty dry.” Tae Pisto. 1 THE JuRY Room.— San Francisco jurors have taken a novel course to secure a verdict. In the recent trial of O’Connorin the Twelfth District Court, on Wednesday, when the jurors came into the Court room the Judge asked if any one of them had any thing to communicate. One, named William Hosford, arose and stated that he differed from the eleven other jurors, and did not wish to be kept with them another night; that he was afraid for the safety of his life. He went on and said that last night one of the jurors had placed a pistol to his head and threatened to kill him 1f he did not agree toa verdict He feared, he said, that the man was notin his right mind, His story caused a pro. found sensation in the Court room.
