The Sactimnente Bee has madecareful written inquiry as to the feeling throughout the State regarding the proposed Constitution, and . . finds thisto be the result: Salinas, Watsonville, Santa Cruz, Gilroy, San Jose, San Francisco, Qakland, Alameda, Centerville, Petaluma, Napa, Calistoga, Sonoma, ‘ Santa Ro-sa,-—Cloverdale,. Martinez, Suisun, Stockton, Woodland, Dixon, Sacramento, Felsom, Placerville, Sonora, Jackson, Mokelumne Hill, San Andreas, Colfax, Grass Valley, Nevada City, Oroville, } Chico, Colusa, Red Bluff, Redding,‘ Shasta.and Yreka will go againsé the: : Constitution, with scarcely.an exception. And some of these places will givea large majority that way, with the probability that Sacramento will be the banner city of the State, acevrding to the total number of votes polled. And aside from all the. cities casting such voté, the best information at hand indicates that the counties of El Dorado, Calaveras, Amador, ‘Tuolumne, Sierra, Butte, Yuba and Siskiyou will cast a majority vote in the same direction, while Placer may be. the other way and Nevada reniains doubtful. Yolo is likely to be for, and Solano and Yu25. bia against, while San Joaquin is claimed with energy by each side. Sacramento county; outside the city, is likely to be for, by perhaps 300 or 400 majority, but it is believed that the city will not give less than 1,000, and some claim as high es 1,500 the other way. The great bulk of the population of California—fully threefifths, if, not more cf-it—resides in “the cities, and if the towns of the State cast a m jority, however t] ght, against the new Constitution, there is scarcely a possibility that suchmajorities can be overcome, «It is true that, judging from present appearances, the new Constitution must rely for its strength on the rural districts, and that most of them will declare in its favor, but the total number of votes cast will be comparatively light. ~ Among the best informed opponents of the Constitution in San Francisco there is an almost, universal conftidence that the metropolis will give from 5,000 to 14,000 against it. It {s,.now settled, they say, by the published opinion of twenty-seven lawyors of that city, many of whoni stand atthe head. of the bar, that . local option is there in its most decided form. There are 2,300: places where liquor is sold in that city, and . each one ‘on an average has two and one-half votes, making 5,750 votes that will go solid against the new Constitution, Then there are the brewers, vintners and all others interested in that traffic, who are equal to at least 1,000 votes more, This vote would, other things being equal, be largely on the other side, but now. where their own interests are jeopar. dized they will not divide their power. There are 47;090 names on the Hs eat Register of that city and coury, aud fully 43,00) vutes are exies to be cast, Deacon Parkinson Found, om * Deacon Parkinson, the eccentric editor of the Carson Tribune, was to kave been , tried for . illegal voting! ‘Paesday in the United States Disivict Court, but failed £o appear, and . his $500 bail was declared forfeited.

The heaviest Non-Partizan vote was received by E. W. Roberts, the same being 681. if the supporters. of the proposed new Constitution begins to estimate their strength in this county by _referring to the above election, they alone are responsible ~ for submitting themselves to inevitable disappointment. When the Non-Partizan delegates were nominated, we are all ‘aware that the action was hailed with the greatest delight “by the ‘Workingmen. The latter saw intuitively that -the coalition would provoke antagonistic feelings inside the ranks of the Republican and Democratic forces, and throw over to . thefagitators’ candidates a large votey that under no other circumstances could §possible be obtained. There old parties that will make no concessions to their principal opponents in the way of ‘‘trading,” and to defeat such a scheme will cast their ballots ina direction as-to prevent the success of theirless punctilions col-. . leagues, It was their assistance that the Wor kingmen’ S party received in the fight the 19th’ of last June. . It was a fallacious test of how this . county really stood. No enthusiasm . was manifested by the non-Partizans, while the apposition ‘strained every . nerve to carry the day. The latter Hooked upon the occasion as a tide that taken at its flood, so to speak, . would place them at once alongside . the really permanent national par. ties. The leaders of the movement . talked such stuffas this, and why ; should not the guileless followers be. lieve them? ‘The result was pointed to with pride by demagogues as jauandoubted uprising of a «dlown. trodden public who had for years beens imposed upon and misled by . ‘‘political cut-throatsand hell-bound capitalists.” In realsty, the Work; ingmen’s victory showed but these things: 1, An army of political turn-coats wanted office, 2. The most radical ‘Republicans and Democrats many of them wanted to administera rebuke to their coworkers that would serve as a warning against futuie coalitions, and voted the Workingmen’s ticket to accomplish that end. 3. Demagogues said that apolitical reformation in the State wag imperatively necessary, and many honest voters believed them, (but a large portion have since fownd out they jumped from the frying pan into the fire.) oy oz The élegsiof janthe 7th of May, 3 notof a political character.

Supervisors have the same power over that business in the county; and _ that therefere all true friends of the cause -are. bound to vote for the new _ Constitution. The oppenents of that instrument, desirous of arraying the saloon, keepers and their patrons against it, with equal earnestness insist that stich must be and is the true and only meaning that-can be given to section 11, Art. x1, On the other hand the S. F. Chronicle and certain public speakers ad-. vocating the adoption of the proposed Constitution, thinking the whisky influence more potent than the friendship of the temperance. party, deny with much hot indignation, that the liquor sellers are inthe least danger. Now how is this question to be decided, so that on. the 7th ‘of May both the Good Templars andénemy may cast his vote intelligently?A number of prominent and distinguished lawyers of San Francisco have over their owni signatures. expressed a decided opinion. that.-the pare to shut every saloon ina city is: “clearly conferred” upon‘the trustees, etc. Would it not be a good idea for those who believe that the retail traffic im whisky should be put down by the strong arm of the law, and would vote forthe new Constitution if they could thereby . ] advance their cause, as well as for that other class who make their living by catering to” the depraved tastes, the infirmity and weakness of their fellow men, to consult some reliable lawyer (Mr. Cross, for instance,) and procure his written opinion upon this question. I don’t mean that. they should sponge an opinion from Mr. should be paid for it as for any other professional servicé. I only suggest Mr. Cross, because, . besides be: ing a lawyer of high standing, he might be supposed to possess an advantage over some others from the fact of his having so conscientiously discharged his duty to his constituentsin the Convention, The question for Mr. Cross, or whatever lawyer may be selected, boald be in this form: ‘*Would section 11, Art. XI, of the proposed Constitution, if adopted, confer upon the Boards of Supe:visors of the several counties, or the trustees of any city, town or township, the power to prohibit the retail liquor traffic or business, within the limits of their respective counties, ¢ities-towns or townships, in the absence of any general law to the contrary?” And if his answer should be in the affirmative, then ‘‘Does iny such law exist in this St.te ?” Mind you, local option is not’ the question.

The heaviest Non-Partizan vote was received by E. W. Roberts, the same being 681. if the supporters. of the proposed new Constitution begins to estimate their strength in this county by _referring to the above election, they alone are responsible ~ for submitting themselves to inevitable disappointment. When the Non-Partizan delegates were nominated, we are all ‘aware that the action was hailed with the greatest delight “by the ‘Workingmen. The latter saw intuitively that -the coalition would provoke antagonistic feelings inside the ranks of the Republican and Democratic forces, and throw over to . thefagitators’ candidates a large votey that under no other circumstances could §possible be obtained. There old parties that will make no concessions to their principal opponents in the way of ‘‘trading,” and to defeat such a scheme will cast their ballots ina direction as-to prevent the success of theirless punctilions col-. . leagues, It was their assistance that the Wor kingmen’ S party received in the fight the 19th’ of last June. . It was a fallacious test of how this . county really stood. No enthusiasm . was manifested by the non-Partizans, while the apposition ‘strained every . nerve to carry the day.. The latter Hooked upon the occasion as a tide that taken at its flood, so to speak, . would place them at once alongside . the really permanent national par. ties. The leaders of the movement . talked such stuffas this, and why ; should not the guileless followers be. lieve them? ‘The result was pointed to with pride by demagogues as jauandoubted uprising of a «dlown. trodden public who had for years beens imposed upon and misled by . ‘‘political cut-throatsand hell-bound capitalists.” In realsty, the Work; ingmen’s victory showed but these things: 1, An army of political turn-coats wanted office, 2. The most radical ‘Republicans and Democrats many of them wanted to administera rebuke to their coworkers that would serve as a warning against futuie coalitions, and voted the Workingmen’s ticket to accomplish that end. 3. Demagogues said that apolitical reformation in the State wag imperatively necessary, and many honest voters believed them, (but a large portion have since fownd out they jumped from the frying pan into the fire.) oy oz The élegsiof janthe 7th of May, 3 notof a political character.

The oppenents of that instrument, desirous of arraying the saloon, keepers and their patrons against it, with equal earnestness insist that stich must be and is the true and only meaning that-can be given to section 11, Art. x1, On the other hand the S. F.

I only suggest Mr. Cross, because, . besides be: ing a lawyer of high standing, he might be supposed to possess an advantage over some others from the fact of his having so conscientiously discharged his duty to his constituentsin the Convention, The question for Mr. Cross, or whatever lawyer may be selected, boald be in this form: ‘*Would section 11, Art. XI, of the proposed Constitution, if adopted, confer upon the Boards of Supe:visors of the several counties, or the trustees of any city, town or township, the power to prohibit the retail liquor traffic or business, within the limits of their respective counties, ¢ities-towns or townships, in the absence of any general law to the contrary?” And if his answer should be in the affirmative, then ‘‘Does iny such law exist in this St.te ?” Mind you, local option is not’ the question.
