The Joint Commissién appointed by ex-Govyernor Haight and Governor Booth to revise the work of the Code Commissioners, have completed their -examination-of the Penal Code and made their report. “They pronounce the work complete and substantially the same as the present codé but arranged with order and couched in better language. The , only changes made by the code is in teference tosome of the fines, The _. report of these Commissioners is in eecord with the opinion of all who have carefully examined the proposed Code, It is far superior to the present Code in its arrangement, and the definitions are. much’ clearer, while in every essential particular it is the same. The Code having received the endorsement of Messrs, Tuttle and Juhnson, shouldbe enacted by the Legislature without amendment, The Commission report that no hardship can result’ from its immediate adoption and strongly recommend it. We earnestly hope’ that the Legislature’will take hold of this matter and Adopt the Penal Code as it now . Btandg. « We ‘hope also that the other clauses of the Code, especially that relating to revenues may be adopted at an early day, and that by the end of the . session we may have a better system of daws for the State. -Theseimpcrtant matters should not longer be neglected by representatives. -The ~ work as it’ comes from the Commis, the aetion of the caucus. dent that neither of the bills could sion. should be made the careful study of the Committees to which each branch is assigned; and brought up ut an early day that it May beCarefully considered by the Legistature. The Liti igant Bill, It appears from the action of the Democratic “caucus last Friday evening; that the Litigartt and State Paper bills are doomed, A correspondent, speaking of the debate on this question, «says: ‘The Democratic Senators at their late caucus listened to arguments in favor of sustaining the Litigant bill and the State Paper . ~ get, presented by Colonel Rouch and others. Several of the Senators had declared that they would vote for the repeal of these bills, regardless of It was evibe saved, and the caucus decided that the question of their retention ’ ‘was not a political one and each Senator could vote as he chose. The bills. will therefore, undoubtedly be repéaled,” The Call correspondent says, after other matters of party policy were discussed, when the Litigant bill was called_up, ‘Senator Maclay arose ~and declared that he did not propose to be bound by the action of any caueus ob these bills, but that, he should vote ta-repeal them both. He therefore took his hatand left the‘toom, atid was accompanied by Senators Hutchings, Wilson and McMurray, all of whom expressed the same determination, These four -votes, act__ ing with the Republicans,would. be sufficient to carry the repeal. After they had left, Mr, Roach went before _ thé caucus and made an argument in favor of the Litigant law, and Mr. :Martim of the Reporter, had a hearing on the State Paper bill,’ After they had concluded and withdrawn, a vote was taken, by which it was decided, by ten Senators in the affirmative and seven in the negative, that the repeal of these laws was not a political question, but one upon which every Senator could vote as he pleased without breaking his party obligations, ~The Litigant men “look down in the mouth” this morning, . s and evidently regard the contest as ended; The Democratic Seiiators have acted wisely, and -it is only astonishing that any of them should desire to keep upon the statute books law that hus injured their party . d and given their _Dolitical opponents Opportunity to appear before the are confident that if all invasions re‘ting them go, and we believe this is ae Eastern Star. . managed everything excellently, and : Wig has been-struck im the LOCAL ITEMS.

Sigourney was invaded by a party of friends, and they enjoyed Fr splendid evening:.On Monday hight, while Mrs. A. Hi Hanson was in town: shopping, her domicile was entered vi et armis, the arms being filled with sundry packages of good . things. The invading party proceeded immediately to make a_location, and on the return of the hostess the house was brilliantly illuminated and the invaders were making theniselves at home. It was a complete surprise and a pleasant one for all hands. We have not learned where the next raid will be made, but we sult in as much enjoyment as the last, the captives will en joy the event as heartily as the 19 captors. _ Turning Dogs to Account, Only about 700 dogs are taxed in this county, ‘and some of these listed, if taxpayers are reliable,‘ have been dead long sincé. It is probable that there areScveral thousand dogs in the county. Superintendent Watson proposes to. make these poodles pay schooling. He proposes the enactment of a law, appropriating the dog ~+tax to the county school, fund, and making the School Census Marshals collectors of the tax. This is a good idea and will turn dogs to’ some account, Instead of 700 we should have several thousand of fhese taxes collected. By all means let-us have a law for this purpose. Donner County. We have had much to say about the proposed county of Donner, be-. cause the subject is one ofsinterest tothe people of Nevada county, We are somewhat astonished to find that we-alone have discussed this important matter, Our local contemporaries are mute on the Donner county question.

The Grand Jury made a partial report yesterday. They found true bills against five Chinamen accused of burglary in entering Woods’ store in Grass Valley and ignored bills against three who were charged with the same offence. Yesterday the committee appointed to examine records, public: buildings, etc.; were on duty, and in the afternoon the Grand Jury adjourned to wait for witnesses who were sent for. The meeting of the members of the Eastern Star degree on Saturday evening, at Masenic Hall, was well attended. After the meeting concluded, the members partook of a splendid supper, prepared by the lay members of the degree and tendered to Mrs. Leggett. The ladies the entertainment was very pleasant. .

Vicious Scuemes.—On Friday last, sembly voted down a Senate bill appropriating $500 in aid of the San Francisco Labor Exchange. It was well done, -bécausé this institution has fallen into the hands of landed and moneyed monopolists and is used almost exclusively for their benefit. Let them pay for it then. We hope the vote ‘in the Assembly may stand and not be retracted. We hope the bill: appropriating $2,500 a month in aid of that other scheme of the landed monopolists called the Immigrant Union, may share a like fate. If these people who have managed to make themselves the owners of 4,000,000 to 5,000,000 acres of land at from twenty to ninety cents per acre, desire to work it with cheap -. hired “labor, to_prevent—its—permanent occupation by small farmers, and to continue cheating the State and county out of their just_share of taxes upon it, let them pay the costs of their scheme out of their own pockets, and not have the rest of the taxpayers burdened on that account, <a An Eyez to THE Forurne.—During the past week, says the Saucelito Herald, since the result of the lite election was announced, many perinterior of our county. They are taking notes in a very quiet way,and observing the possible chance of good investments in real estate. Qurown resident citizens are becoming keenly alive to the rare opportunities of the present time, and are looking about them with a view to enlarging or im. proving their possessions, —=s—isy -. them is rather laying it on thick.— says the Sacramento Union the As++ 'sons have visited Saucelito and the] has-introduced a bill which provides that whenever a prisoner is arraigned . for trial, if he of she havéno counsel Or attorney by: reason of impecuniosity, the Court shall ask whether an attorney is desired. The prisoner answering ‘‘yea,”’ the Court shall thereupon appoint some at a ‘defend the accused, who shall receive for his services; if the case is felony, punishable with ‘imprisonment. at. San Quentin, $50, together with $5 for each and every day’s service be' fore“a jury; if a misdemeanor, $25, and $5:per day. At present it is almost impossible to punish, crime i in this State, since deferdants are permitted to testify in their own behalf." Now it is, profcr-the defense of crime than the State allows its officers for prosecuting crime. Paying the taxpayers’ money to turn rogues loose upon ‘With such laws, and all the presiimp. tiorref law against guilt, it would be better to-shut up Courts and give the hopeenayven full swing. <= ‘Par Lrrieanr’ Law.—There-issome doubt about the State Senate passing the bill for the repea the LitigantAct,says the Vallejo Recor although we are assured by journalists at the Capital that the law will be repealed. Two bills for the repeal have already been defeated in the Senate, without any test votes being taken, and on the ground that the bills were not drafted: im the right manner. We hope that Senators Tompkins and ‘Wilson v.ill remain true to their promises made early in the session, and not allow a few Democratie papers to defeat the . expressed will of the people by the }ery ‘of “starvation. There is not an support of the Act worthy to be entertained. It is only a law to make the people support a fewsickly newspapers, and the members of the State Senate know this to be a fact.

Vicious Scuemes.—On Friday last, sembly voted down a Senate bill appropriating $500 in aid of the San Francisco Labor Exchange. It was well done, -bécausé this institution has fallen into the hands of landed and moneyed monopolists and is used almost exclusively for their benefit. Let them pay for it then. We hope the vote ‘in the Assembly may stand and not be retracted. We hope the bill: appropriating $2,500 a month in aid of that other scheme of the landed monopolists called the Immigrant Union, may share a like fate. If these people who have managed to make themselves the owners of 4,000,000 to 5,000,000 acres of land at from twenty to ninety cents per acre, desire to work it with cheap -. hired “labor, to_prevent—its—permanent occupation by small farmers, and to continue cheating the State and county out of their just_share of taxes upon it, let them pay the costs of their scheme out of their own pockets, and not have the rest of the taxpayers burdened on that account, <a An Eyez to THE Forurne.—During the past week, says the Saucelito Herald, since the result of the lite election was announced, many perinterior of our county.

Two bills for the repeal have already been defeated in the Senate, without any test votes being taken, and on the ground that the bills were not drafted: im the right manner. We hope that Senators Tompkins and ‘Wilson v.ill remain true to their promises made early in the session, and not allow a few Democratie papers to defeat the . expressed will of the people by the }ery ‘of “starvation. There is not an support of the Act worthy to be entertained. It is only a law to make the people support a fewsickly newspapers, and the members of the State Senate know this to be a fact.
