Booth to. appoint’ committee of jurists to examine the codes and point out such errors, omissions and defects, as they may find inthem. The ‘Governor, in compliance with this request, has appointed Judges Field, Sawyer and Temple, but it is stated Sawyer declines to serve, Haymond, Birch and McRune, still hold office as Code Commissioners, and the new appointees merely constitute an which are shown to be necessary by their use; but the-best way to get at these defects is by consultation with that he can purchase as much here with eight ici nd five hundred} dollars as his ten thousand dollars will buy inany of the Western States, but he will be found slow to realize the force of the. argument, and ten to one will repack his valise-and return to the land where one dollar is the equal of another, If ‘we only lost those who came and saw and returned, we should—have little cause} .4 gut.—And-whi'e the commission-. .acted on that belief heretofore, and ~ for complaint, but we lose more. We lose every man who is told by them that greenbacks are not money in California. The, adoption of the National, curreneywill largely increase the tide of immigratien to the Pacific Conast.—S. F. Chronicle. Such stuff as the aboveis put forth ad argument in favor of the use of greenbacks in this State. If a man has not sense enough to know that his $8,500 in coin is worth as much as his $10,000 in greenbacks, and _ that its value’ is permanent, while his greenbacks ‘fluctuate, he might bea désirable subject for an institution of idiots, but he is not the kind of immigrant to''make a desirable citizen of in this State, The traveler who comes to San Francisco, and puts up at the best hotels, can get rooms for $3 per day. For no better accommodations he is charged in any of the Atlantic cities $4. per day, “where greenbaeks are the only'money; and figuring’ the discount it will be seen-that he saves in San Francisco from forty:to fifty cents,according to the rate of greeubacks. So it is with ‘all other values, to” the man who has intelligence enough to figure the differencé, und, those who . have not will not benefit the State by their immigration. The Bee, another gréeuback advocate, has the * following: It is represented that money is very plenty in the San Francisco banks,and there have been call loans reported at 7 per cent. per annum. The supply of coin is greater than it was last year at this time, and there ~ will not probably be so active a deeaand for it. : hus we see money is plenty in "this Stat¢ and interest is decreasing, " Pwhile ‘the average interest in the greeuback States is 12 per cent., and in Massachusetts, where interest was -6 per cent, before the war, the best ’ securities. now bring from—7 to 10, while business men are paying from 10 to 15; and: speculators as high as from 50 to 100 on their loans. All the panics in’ the money'market, of the last ten years, have been escaped by California, simply because we had gold and silver cvin for money, while in New York and other large __sities, the General Government is compelled every week or two to put large sums of gold on the market to save the business from a crisis. ~Califérnia cannot afford, on such flimsy ‘arguments as made by the greenback ‘advocates, to change her circulating medium, while all other. States are to work under the various laws. . The Revenue Law, for instance, is better understood by the Controller, the men who have eonstant occasion County Auditors and. revenue officers, than by the ablest jurists in the State, and its defects could be, by them, most eagily and clearly pointers appoihted might do much good by improving the Civil Code, Code of Proceedure ‘and Penal Code, with all due difference to their legal acquirements, we think the Political Code could be better handled by the several officers and deputies whom it is intended to govern; and we would suggest that at least those sections of the Civil"Code which arecopied bodily fromthe New York Code, be so arranged as to leave out the names of courts and officers which do not and never have existed in this State. A very careful revision of the codes would be an extellent thing, but the important question will be, How many more commissioners will have to be appointed and paid by the State before the revised codes are furnished and there is no longer a necessity fur more revision. The State has now had two code commissions.and two orthree advising commissions, besides legislative committees and revisors, all costing much money, and involving an immense quantity of printing, and the people will be glad when the ‘‘powers that be’’ conelude that the job is done. Pay aa The Railroad Sale, We publish to-day an article from the Bulletin in referenca to the railroad sale, and that paper seems to be happy in the assurance that the new owners think San Francisco is on the right side of the Bay, and have town lots in the metropolis. The purchasers are well known capitalists, largely interested in this State, while Hitntington and the stock holders who are selling out, are mostly Eastern men.’ Jn a conversation with a Chronicle interviewer one of the purchasers says: ‘‘We hope to dispel all feeling of hostility and to establish the most friendly relutions with the people. If we buy the road it will be anu earnest to San Francisco that her interests will nevyer be allowed to suffer.”’ By fair dealing, low rates, and an effort to accommodate: the-businessand traveling public such relations may be surely. established with the people, ‘and we earnestly hope that with the change of ownership the abuses long complained of, . especially the discrimination jn rates against the interior, will beremoved, anda way opened by the management of the railroad for the establishment of the most friendly relations with the “Juboring to secure a better medium} people of the interior, than.greenbacks. ne “Fyne Fitolumue Independent says: On Monday, June 2d, departed this -life Gnoshoke, the mother of the célebrated Captain “Lynchpin, the Indian prophet, aged 125 years, consequently she eame into this world ~ twenty-eight years before the Declaration of Independence was sent forth by its signers, Deceased was a resident (near the head of Sullivan's reek) of this county; and as nothing in disparagement of her long life has ever been brought to light, the presumption is that she was a géod woman: “Two of her children are alive, Lynchpin, the prophet, and his sister, Ossovevi, the wife of Peace to the ashes te" A Kentucky wagoner finds from his account books that in thirty. years’ journeying over the turnpike between Marysvilleand Lexington he paid .$26,000 toll, which, as _he justly remarks, told heavily on his buainess profits. a A rewaup of $3,000 is offered for the capture of Horton, the New York forger, whose swindling operativns are said to.amount to $75,000, . ‘ ‘. the eleck.

Every one of the. purchasers named believes that San, Francisco is on the right side of the Bay, and has will do so hereafter. Thére’ will be no vagaries aud no loose statements about an erroneous location. The. men who appear as purchasers have very large interests in this city outside of the railroad.’ They will know how to harmonize these interests and to blend them with all the other commercial’and business interests of . the city, A great portion is gained when the highest possible guarantees are ‘given of such a result. The railroad will be under the managemeént of men whose stake isin San Frasiciseo—who believe in the city, its natural advantages, and all-the possibilities of the future. The sale includes the San Joaquin branch’of the Central Pacific, now completed down to the lower side of Tulare county.—-It_ does not, however, include the sale of the Southern Pacific proper, now completed from this city to the Salinas Valley. There are good rexsons for-supposing’ that a preliminary arrangement was made for the sale of this road to Thomas Scott some months ago. This theory is strengthened by the location cific on such a route as’ to indicate that the trunk line connection is to be made with San Francisco, while a branch is constructed to San Diego. According to present appearances the Texas Pacific management is concurrent with that of the Central Pawill interfere with each other as little as possible. The railroad. agitation of the past has not all ended in smoke. This city is not to-day carrying a crushing burden of debt, and is not hopelessly bound by the thongs of a railway corporation. Public: sentiment has ripened, and can to-duy give a clear® er expression of opinion touching the relation of railroad interests to the more general interests of the community, than ever before. Tlie new men will find it possible to manage railway interests with less of ‘friction than has been noted heretofore. The offensive prominence which the Company has had in politics ought to be corrected at once. There is such a wise thing as talking the public into, the confidence of a great railway corporation, of stating frankly in advance what movements are to be made affecting the interests. of a city, and showing that either all such movements will be beneficial, or, it otherwise, a willingness to abandon them. at once, It is the wisdom which gains the good will of the community and ean alwayscount on its backing in every good undertaking. A great deal of this friction of backing and filling, of temporizing ‘to-day to carry out ulterior pur. poses On some other day, ought never to have occurred. It has. created suspicion and a sense of danger’ of the possible evils which a great corporation could inflict when managed by outside interests, which never ought to hate a repetition in the future. We believe that the transfer which is to grow out-of the recent negotiations will make these repetitions well nigh impossible. C. P, Huntington, who. long since ceased to be a Californian, will go out of the management. \ Govérnor Stanford, who has acquired large interests in San Francisco, including lots for a residence, remains.

The partly into effect, that is to the extent of leaving ber to perish in the flames. By a superhuman exertion the woman succeeded in tearing the bandages from her mouthand shrieked agonizingly for assistance. Some of the neighbors hearing her outcries, entered the bedroom and: rescued her from the terrible situation. On entering the room they found the poor woman lashed to the bed, nearly ‘blinded with smoke, bleeding freely from the mouth. On the following day the young woman decided to pay a visit to her. mother, Mrs. Pierce, residing in Lower Gold Hill, and communicate the particulars of the terrible affair. Her father and mother accompanied her nearly home, -on her return, which happened at about 12 o’clock m. on the same day. For fear of a second attack, the parents. provided the young woman with a short dagger. Hardly was she out of sight of her parents when the'villain sprang out from behind a cleft in a rock and confronted her a second time, remarking, ‘‘Now I’ve got.you,’’ Grasping her dress, he dragged her a short distance from the road and’ made another assault upon her, the heroic girl again foiling him in his purpose. tore all of her clothing off from her waist down, with the exception ofa white underskirt. During the melee’ the young woman stabbed hinrin the shoulder with the dagger; after which he left her to make her way home as best she could. She describes the man aé being rather tall and thin and wearing a light. goatee. The young woman is possessed of more than averagepersonal attractions, and is only sixteen yearsofage. She is at present in a critical position. .

The railroad will be under the managemeént of men whose stake isin San Frasiciseo—who believe in the city, its natural advantages, and all-the possibilities of the future. The sale includes the San Joaquin branch’of the Central Pacific, now completed down to the lower side of Tulare county.—-It_ does not, however, include the sale of the Southern Pacific proper, now completed from this city to the Salinas Valley. There are good rexsons for-supposing’ that a preliminary arrangement was made for the sale of this road to Thomas Scott some months ago. This theory is strengthened by the location cific on such a route as’ to indicate that the trunk line connection is to be made with San Francisco, while a branch is constructed to San Diego. According to present appearances the Texas Pacific management is concurrent with that of the Central Pawill interfere with each other as little as possible. The railroad. agitation of the past has not all ended in smoke. This city is not to-day carrying a crushing burden of debt, and is not hopelessly bound by the thongs of a railway corporation. Public: sentiment has ripened, and can to-duy give a clear® er expression of opinion touching the relation of railroad interests to the more general interests of the community, than ever before. Tlie new men will find it possible to manage railway interests with less of ‘friction than has been noted heretofore. The offensive prominence which the Company has had in politics ought to be corrected at once. There is such a wise thing as talking the public into, the confidence of a great railway corporation, of stating frankly in advance what movements are to be made affecting the interests. of a city, and showing that either all such movements will be beneficial, or, it otherwise, a willingness to abandon them. at once, It is the wisdom which gains the good will of the community and ean alwayscount on its backing in every good undertaking. A great deal of this friction of backing and filling, of temporizing ‘to-day to carry out ulterior pur. poses On some other day, ought never to have occurred. It has. created suspicion and a sense of danger’ of the possible evils which a great corporation could inflict when managed by outside interests, which never ought to hate a repetition in the future. We believe that the transfer which is to grow out-of the recent negotiations will make these repetitions well nigh impossible. C. P, Huntington, who. long since ceased to be a Californian, will go out of the management. \ Govérnor Stanford, who has acquired large interests in San Francisco, including lots for a residence, remains.

Some of the neighbors hearing her outcries, entered the bedroom and: rescued her from the terrible situation. On entering the room they found the poor woman lashed to the bed, nearly ‘blinded with smoke, bleeding freely from the mouth. On the following day the young woman decided to pay a visit to her. mother, Mrs. Pierce, residing in Lower Gold Hill, and communicate the particulars of the terrible affair. Her father and mother accompanied her nearly home, -on her return, which happened at about 12 o’clock m. on the same day. For fear of a second attack, the parents. provided the young woman with a short dagger. Hardly was she out of sight of her parents when the'villain sprang out from behind a cleft in a rock and confronted her a second time, remarking, ‘‘Now I’ve got.you,’’ Grasping her dress, he dragged her a short distance from the road and’ made another assault upon her, the heroic girl again foiling him in his purpose. tore all of her clothing off from her waist down, with the exception ofa white underskirt. During the melee’ the young woman stabbed hinrin the shoulder with the dagger; after which he left her to make her way home as best she could. She describes the man aé being rather tall and thin and wearing a light. goatee. The young woman is possessed of more than averagepersonal attractions, and is only sixteen yearsofage.
