THE DEBRIS QUESTION.
A correspondent at Marysville writes to
us on the debris question, intimating that
Marysville has no recource but to fight the
matter out to the end, and expressing
doubts as to the ability of the Legislature
to afford any relief to the farmers. '• We
can only reply to this as we have already
replied to another corresponds— that
nothing done in or by the Legislature can
interfere with or restrict the right of ,the
farmers to seek redress in the Courts.
Their legal rights remain to them in any
event. The Legislature can only propose
or set in motion practical remedies for the
evil. Our hope and desire is that this
great and menacing evil may be removed
by some comprehensive plan of relief and
reclamation, and we have sought to
exhibit the advantages of such , a
course because we wished to enlist the
interest and aid of the whole State, and
thus to facilitate the solution of the prob
lem in the most economical way. Hut no
matter what is done in this direction, the
farmers still have the privilege of proceed
ing by suit in the Courts. They might, no
doubt, agree with the miners upon a sort
of armistice while remedial propositions
were pending, but nothing compels them
to do anything of the kind. If Marysville
wants to tight it out she cannot be pre
vented from so doing, and the question is
of course one which the people of that city
must decide for themselves. Meanwhile,
however, it is none the less in order to seek
and pursue some radical scheme of relief,
to include all parts of the State requiring
the application of any remedies. .
AMERICAN SHIP-BUILDING.
Congressman Ellis has introduced a bill
to revive AuTerican ship-building by subsi
dizing a couple of score of mail routes on
the ocean. This is like strapping up a
man's leg and then giving him a wooden
limb to walk on. It would be much
simpler and better to unstrap his fettered
leg. The paralysis of American ship
building has resulted from the tariff,
the preposterous navigation laws adopted
by Congress. Having throttled the indus
try in this way it is now proposed to bring
it to life again by practicing artificial respi
ration. The corpse is to be galvanized by*
subsidies, which means that after Congress
has made it impossible to build American
ships at a profit under. the natural laws
of supply and demand, the American
people generally are to be taxed to enable
American ships to be built at a profit under
unnatural conditions.- This is more '* pro
" tectiou to native industry," with- a ven
geance. If Congress really wishes to see
the American ship- building trade revived
it can secure that end b*, repealing the
laws which forbid Americans to build
ships, and which have thrown the Ameri
can carrying trade so largely into foreign
bottoms. That, however, being a plain
and straightforward plan, Congress is not
at all likely to adopt, and as the pro-
posal for subsidies 'will at once enlist the
support of all who can benefit from such
bounties, the Ellis proposition is likely to
find plenty of backing.

ANTI-CHINESE LEGISLATION.
\ An ambition has been developed among
certain' members of the Legislature to^iri
troduce anti-Chinese j bills, ff -N Aurally
enough this disposition is manifested most
strongly by members of the San Francisco
delegation in the Assembly: The charac
ter and scope of many of the bills which
have been brought forward in this connec
tion are cot such as to jnstify the expecta
tion ■ that any- practical results will flow
from the energy of their framers. In a
majority of instances these latter do not
appear to have realised the existence of
any constitutional barriers to the most
sweeping measures of proscription. They
have in fact proceeded as though the ques
tion of the expulsion of the Chinese from
the State was ene altogether within the
jurisdiction of the Legislature of Califor
nia, and as though the Federal Government
bad nothing to say in the premises. When
we examine these bills, and • see the
amazing . propositions they ' embody, we
arj not surprised that the supporters of
them should wish to keep them . out
of ■ the hands of the Judiciary -Committee,
for it is -clear that if that committee once
gets possession of them it will be com
pelled to report emphatically against their
adoption. A great deal t.f time is being
wasted in the preparation and advocacy of
measures which are utterly impracticable,
and it is therefore proper to warn anti-
Chinese enthusiasts tliat they are beating
the air. If any of these members are act
ing simply to tickle the more ignorant
aiming their constituents, it is also in order
to inform the latter tbat no State legisla
tion against the Chinese - which con
diets with the -provisions of -the Bur
lingame" Treaty can be worth the paper
it is printed on. That treaty accords to
the Chinese in the United States all
the rights ' and privileges : which ; the
American (iovernmeat concedes to the most
favored nation. All attempts, therefore,
to discriminate against the Chinese,' to put
them at a special disadvantage in any way,
to treat them less liberally than any other
foreigners, must be invalid and of no effect.
All the attempts to prevent them from
doing business, to impose discriminating
license taxes upon them, to single them
out for hostile legislation, are futile. The
Legislature does not possess the power to
override one hair's breadth a United States
treaty, and the sooner this is clearly and
fully understood, the sooner will members
abandon impracticable ideas, and turn their
attention to matters within their jurisdic
tion.
There is another point of view from
which this subject may be regarded. At
this moment our Senators and Representa
tives in Congress are making strenuous
efforts to procure the enactment of a law
which will meet the requirements of the
case. Congress alone has the power to
deal with the Chinese question, but Con
gress has not hitherto been willing to do
anything about it, because the belief has
until recently prevailed at the East that
the outcry against the Chinese was merely
the expression of demagogues, and did not
represent public opinion on j the Pacific
Coast. The only considerations which
have been at all forcibly presented at
Washington, moreover, have been com
mercial ones; and they are calculated to
hinder any restrictive legislation. How
ever unjust and irrational Californians
may consider the attitude of the rest of
the country on this question, it is neces
sary to realize that we are powerless to
help ourselves, and that we must convert
Congress by argument if we are to do it
at all. For these reasons it is particularly
desirable that there should be at the pres
ent time as little manifestation of intem
perate and prescriptive tendencies as possi
ble in this State. The only effect of fruit
less attempts to legislate against the Chi
nese as though they were wild beasts, will
be to prejudice Congress against the meas
ures which our delegation are now urging,
and for the first time with some prospect of
success. The display of Sand Lot tactics
was never more inopportune than now, in
short, and we put it to the authors of
rabid anti-Chinese bills whether it is more
desirable to tickle the Sand Lots, or to
secure practical legislation against the
Chinese. The first named object can
doubtless be obtained by urging worth
less measures. The second can only be
gained by eschewing demagogism, and
justifying Congress in the belief that the
people of California are intelligent and
law-abiding. Those who really wish for
the departure of the Chinese can have no
sympathy with the wild and extravagant
propositions which have been cropping up
so thickly of late, and sensible people gen
erally must be moved to apprehend un
promising legislation in regard toother and
more important subjects, if they see that
tie opening of the session iB characterized
by measures for which there _____ no possible
excuse save that of such an ignorance of
the relations between the State and the
Union as must disqualify the victims for
intelligent judgment upon any matters of
consequence.
STATE PRISON DIRECTORS.
Governor Perkins has appointed, and
the Senate has confirmed, Messrs. W. T.
McXutt of San Francisco, Wallace Ever
son of Alameda, Jacob Neff of Placer,
A. C. Chapman of Butte, and A. P. Whit
ney of Sonoma,. to be State Prison Di
rectors. We trust that these gentlemen
will begin their administration wisely and
well. If they are to do so they must
unite iv the selection of a fit man for the
vitally important office of Warden.- There
is no justification for the appointment to
that position of any man who is not
specially fitted for the work. To take a
citizen who has no training in prison ad
ministration would be as culpable and ir
rational as to fill tbe office of S Superin
tendent of an insane asylum . with a
mere politician. The State. Prison oi
California has hitherto been shamefully
neglected. The State has not. done
its duty towards its criminals. II
has retained in their management barbar
j isiss whiclj disgrace «__ community pretend
ing to be civilized. The absence of all
system at* the State Prison, and the preva
!l. nee there of notorious sal flagrant
abuses, are alike attributable to the fatal
practice of making the prison one of the
| spoils of partisan warfare. Reform has foi
years been demanded, but until now it has
been practically _ unattainable. We have
no di übt that great pressure will ' Ik
brought upon the Directors to make tiu-b.
continue the eld methods of appointment,
for the greed of office-set is utterly
conscienceless, and no public spirit tempers
its brutal eeitishoesa. . But the new Board
must realize that almost everythh?s de
pends upon the kind of beginning ■ the?*
make, and that their duty to the ! public
requires them to make such a beginning
tint a reformed" prison administration
will , become possible. And there is only
one way by which they can secure > firm
basis for reform. : It is, by obtaining the ser
vices of an educated penologist as Warden.
In a recent article we showed that ho^diffi
cclty need be feared in this connection, for
that Colonel Pilsbury, himself one of the
most experienced and successful prison
... -»«__P t l __ ltf I ll •1_ . ; - 1
— ~S*wr t ■ ■ t. I . . ixtt " | x. i .-. - , .
superintendents in the country, had prom
ised to furnish a thoroughly efficient officer,
trained under his own eyes, whenever
called upon ; and we -also : showed' that it
might even be possible to put success be
yond all doubt, by securing Colonel Pils
bniy himself for the position. -*-~""-'*-?:*?"r
Thus we have pointed out the way in
which the : new. administration can be
placed upon a foundation of practical
utility, and by which the success of reform
measures can be virtually guaranteed. We
do not believe that reform will be reached
by any other means, and •it would be un
reasonable to look* for it if an untrained
and inexperienced Warden is appointed. In
this matter we are convinced that partisan .
considerations can have no legitimate place.
The Directors have but two courses before
them. They .must resolve to administer
the State Prison from a scientific and en
lightened standpoint ; . or they must
sacrifice the public .. interests, ignore
the duties owed by the State to her
criminals, and for the sake of stopping
the mouths of some greedy office-hunters
permit the old shameful state of things to be
continued indefinitely. They havo placed
upon them a very grave responsibility, and
We earnestly trust that they will" recognize
and perform their duty. Let them bear in
mind that mere intelligence, mere capacity
for police administration, mere' integrity,
cannot qualify any applicant for the office
of ! Warden. What is needed is special
training in the science of penology, and no
other qualifications can compensate for the
absence of that indispensable pre-reqnisite.
■We do not believe that any man in the
State to-day is fitted for the " competent
discharge of the duties of ' the position.
Theoretical acquaintance with plans of
prison reform is not enough ; there must
be the familiarity which comes from prac
tical experiment alone. It is impos
sible that the Directors can do so well as
by accepting the offer of Colonel Pilsbury
to furnish the State one of his own officers,
unless they could persuade him to come
and take charge of the State Prison in per
son. An opportunity is now afforded to
break out of the old ruts, and to begin a new
and civilized era in penal admiuistration.
If a false precedent is set, however, it is to
be feared that it will be very difficult here
after to introduce the needed reforms. The
... t • ■ -. -
honor and reputation of the Republican
party are concerned in this question, and
failure would be discreditable and damag
ing. We therefore hope that the Directors
will make no mistake in their selection of
a Warden, but that they will give the peo
ple an earnest, in that appointment, of
radical reforms to follow. 'fl'
SAND-LOT MANNERS IN THE LEGIS
LATURE.
Assemblyman Braunhart has thus far
shown himself to be far fonder of talking
than the matter of his discourse could pos
sibly warrant. Assemblyman Maybell has
manifested the same inclination and trie
same disability. In the debate on the
Chaplaincy the latter made a speech which
was remarkable for its coarseness. Yester
day the former chose to insult the Presi
dent of the United States by referring to
him as " His Fraudulency." These mem
bers, and all who pattern after them,
will do well to realize that they are
not now on the Sand Lots, and that
the manners and practices of the Sand Lots
are out of place in the State Legislature.
People who cannot distinguish between a
manly independence m and flippant bru
tality are to be sure unfortunate, but even
they may perhaps learn to perceive the
impracticability of advancing their inter
ests among intelligent persons by the use
of such methods. The manners of the'
Sand Lots are not civilized or dignified or
estimable manners, and the only possible
consequence of practicing them in the
halls of legislation can be to reduce those
who commit such a solecism to* the position
of ciphers. For self-respecting and civil
ized men will never allow themselves to be
controlled by su^h as seem to be equally
deficient in self-respect and civilization.

P. S. Traver, one of the Commissioners
of Esmeralda county, Nev., was shot dead
at Candelara, Tuesday, January sth, by a
prospector named Mike Owens. Owens
bought goods at Traver's store and was
tendered a chock as change which Owens
refused, and thus brought on a quairel in
which Owens challenged Traver to fight,
and immediately after pulled his six-shooter
and tired at Traver, who was standing near
the end of the counter not more than a
dozen feet away. The ball took effect over
Traver's right eye, passing into the brain.
He fell forward near the stove, and when
picked up a few minutes afterward by his
triends, was dead. Owens fled.
The Nevada City Transcript of the 10th
says: A strip of country nearly half a
mile wide, lying between L. Dulac's ranch
and this city, was visited by a peculiar
storm yesterday morning at about 8
' o'clock. Mingled with the snow and raiu
that fell, were myriads of strange-looking
worms. They came down by the millions,
covering the snow so completely that one
could not walk within the infested district
and avoid treading them. Mr. Dulac
captured a large number of the visitors,
and brought several of them to the Trait
script oltice in a bottle. The specimens on
our table vary in . length from 'one to two
inches, and about a sixteenth of an inch
in diameter. They are iv color nearly
white, and their bodies are transparent.
Several worm sharps have been consulted,
but none of them were able to recognize
any .miliar feature in these slimy, inoffen
sive-looking immigrants. -

chaste script upon two pages of a sheet of
tinted and heavy cream-laid note, the first
page being.embossed with the coat of arms
of the State of California, ' surrounded by
ornamental embossed border. Beneath ap

A SOCIAL SUCCESS.
Before the first dance was over the ball
was pronounced by all a social success. Tie
number present was ample for the dancing
halls, indeed, one of them was crowded. The
company assembled jvas brilliant in costum
ery, and it is within bounds to say that it was,
for elegance of dressing and richness of attire,
me of the most brilliant assemblages which
has record in the history of the Capital City.
There was constant comment and deserved —
upon the fact that for the display of'
youthful beauty, the hall has not had a
superior here. It was noticeable thpt the
costuming of the ladies in the great majority
of cases favored the high-necked dress, and
that fewer dresses were cut low than is usual
at full-dress balls. Nearly ever county in
the State was represented by both ladies and
gentlemen. A roll-call of State officials, of
the Senate and Assembly, and of the leading
business men of the city, would have had
almost a full response. The names of the
gentlemen would, indeed, present a formida
ble list to the reader, and embrace many
leading citizens of San Francisco, Marysville,
Stockton, Oakland, San Jose, Vallejo, Chico,
and other prominent places, besides Sacra
mento. The State of Nevada was represented
by both ladiesand gentlemen. Oneofthe most
striking features of the hall was the simplicity
of the surroundings — there being apparently
an effort to furnish what would be entirely
acceptable in the way.. if music, supper and
service, without an extravagant display in
either of these departments. Theie was no
outlay for decoration, no elaborate supper,
and no superfluous number of employes, yet
satisfaction was given on all sides, and the
committees of management have to congratu
late themselves upon a well-managed, ele
gant, tasteful and entirely successful inaugu
ral ball.
THE COLLATION
Was furnished by W. F. Peterson of this city
and laid in the rotunda. At 11 o'clock it was
annour.ctd as ready for th.' guests, and
that it would b; ready, at all timi a
until the close of the ball. The collation was
cold, with hot tea and coffee. The tables
presented a choice selection of meats, game,
fowl, etc.; fruits, confections, cakes, breads,
salads. -ii..! mixed dishes, in variety, with sev
eral very handsome standards of confection,
two of which were miniature towers, sur
mounted by handsome allegorical figures,
representing Justice ai-d Liberty.
In the Senate Chamber the music was

band, of Sacramento, and was highly spoken
I of and entirely acceptable to the dancers.
- Ballenberg k Andres' full band, from San
Francisco, furnished the music in the Assem
bly Chamber, which was excellent.
Roth bands during intermission rendered
some fine selections of concert music, which
wa< enjoyed in rest and promenade.
The long, broad halls running from the
Senate to the Assembly Chambers afforded
an excellent promenade, which was constantly
availed of by the guests. The refreshment
rooms were . open to all, and there guests
could - command punches, lemonade, and
other light, mixed beverages. The State
Librarian threw open the "; library

i'm ing the night by crowds of la. lie- and gen
tlemen, who were warm in their expressions
of admiration for the beautiful interior.
Dressing and cloak rooms were prepared at
either end of the bnildin.'. and well served by
competent attend The hall pr .greased
until a late hour this morning, and passed off
without a single occurrence to detract from
its complete social success.
Good Prospects —Never in the history
of Merced county have farming prospects
been more flattering than at the present
time. Though the moisture precipitated
thus far in the season has at no time been
superabundant, sufficient, has fallen from
time to tin to cause faming operations— —
planing and seeding — to commence early,
and continue without interruption up to
the present time ; and ' thus an immense
area of land is sown, most of which is_now
to be described as fields of young grim.
The grain is not ally forward, or Targe for
this season of the year, yet the stand is
almost universally good, looks thrifty, and
appearances indicate a large harvest next
summer. —-{San Joaquin Valley Argus.

Auoi'STA, January 13th.— At a quarter of 2 the
committee of the House to report questions to sub
mit to the Supreme Court submitted a series, which
i! was voted to submit to the Court. The questions
are long. ... i ..•_... • .<.. Mi
Both branches adjourned at 2:15 until Saturday,'
January 17th, at 2 r. m.
Forty enthusiastic Republicans came to the tity
last night by Pullman train.
Hale, in his remarks relative to the order submit
ting the questions to the Supreme Court, said the
Representatives assembled here did not desire a
contiol which the law did nut give them, or to ride
rough-shod over any one, as they might have done
da\sago; but for the main purpose and great pur
po6e indicated in the order, and when the Court de
cided the questions the people of Maine will take
that decisiou as a final co posiiion of tha 'aw, upon

? A DEMOCRATIC VIEW.? ? .
Chicago, January . 13th. — .Times' Augusta
special says: This move of tho He publicans is
looked upon as their last card. Their men were
getting : sick of - the game which the - leaders
were playing, and it became apparent that they'
could not be held in line much longer. • Therefore it
was. absolutely necessary for them to do some
thing; but it is believed that they have done
the very worst thing ihev possibly could • have
done. They have formed : a Legislature
without the least vestige of law to sustain them. .
They have no official roll, no certificates of election,
and uo legislative returns ; and, to cap .the climax,
they propose to ask the opinion of the Supreme
Court as to the legality of the other and regular
Legislature, which is organized according to law.
Cau the Court pay any attention to the questions
submitted by such au. unlawful body? The best
lawyers here say that they w- uid stultify them
b Ives to do so. . The uaiouisis held a caucus to
night, and are in high spirits over the situation.
GENERAL CHAMBEHLAIN INTERVIEWED.
Chicago, January 13th.— Following is an inter
view between the Times' Augusta correspondent
and General Chamberlain :
"Do jou prop to recognize the body of men now
in session at the State House as the Legislature ? "
*' No ; I do not recognize one any more than I do
the other. I consider neither of them any more
than members-elect until recognized. I have not.
recognized either branch, and sh. 11 not until I know
their authority. Of course whatever the Court de
cides will be satisfactory to me. I do not presume
to decide in these matters, but the burden is on
them to show that they are legally organized."
CAKEFI'LLY STUDIED AND MATURED PLAN.
. Aigista, January 13th.— The Republican organi
zation of the Maine Legislature yt^erday was the
result of a oarefully studied and matured plan, de
cided upon as the most pra. tical and feasible wav
of gelling an opinion from the Courts upon the
subjects embodied in the orders passed in lhe Re
public in House and Senate. It is hoped that the
Supreme Judicial Court will convene to-morrow, in
which event an answer is looked for by Friday (.r
Saturday next.
' The city is crowd d with politica' g from a'l ptols
of the State and elsewhere. The Fusionists arc not
despondent. ' . • ■ ....
AN INTERESTING RUMOR.
Rumors of various kinds are in circulation, ii!>t
among the least interesting of which is a report
that Acting Governor Lamson will to-day endeavor
to have General Chamberlain arrested i y the militia
forces for his action in disregarding the protest of
, the former previous to the assembling of tho Re
publican Legislature last evening.
SITUATION AT THE CAPITOL— SURPRISED FU
SIONISTS.
Auocsta, January 13lh. — The House reassembled
to-day. The night at the Capitol passed very
quietly. A full guard is on. The only thing irregu
lar this morning was when G W. Martin attempted
to pass the guard, in deli nice of the police regula
tions, and was summarily handled by the police.
The Fusionists are very reticent about expressing
an opinion of the events of last night. They were
somewhat surprised, and stre entirely unwilling to
converse upon the subject.
REFUSAL TO APPEAR.
Wallace i!. White, whose card of denial of bribery
lias been published, has been summoned before the
Bribery Committee, but he refused to appear. The
following is his card :
'• To Henry Ingalls, Chairman Investigating Com
mittee: I have received your summons to appear
before your committee charged with the investiga
tion of the all* ged bribery of T. B. Swan and Moses
Harriman. 1 decline to appear, fur the reason that
you are not competent to send for persons and pa
pers, and not competent to administer a legal oath,.
The witnesses hi fore you could swear to anything
without incurring the hazard of a prosecution fur
perjury. It Swan and Harriman had secured a bribe
they would naturally swear falsely about it, and if
they merely put up a Job they would be still more
' likely to swear falsely. When I meet them
I want it to be before a tribunal that has power to
enforce its decree 9 and to administer punishment.
Your House of Hepresentatives is illegally organ
ized, or nut organized at all, and if you have any
doubt on that point. I shall he glad to have you ar
. rest me for contempt, and then hare tl.e authority
of your process tested bra writ of habeas corpus
before the Supreme Judicial Court' If I am not
sustained by that tribunal I shall cneerfully appear
before your committee. WALLACE WHII E."
SCHEME ABANDONED.
Auoi'STA, January 13th.— The reported scheme of
electing the Stale otlicers and Governor have appa
rently been abandoned, both parties seeming willing
to await the decision of the Supreme Court before
proceeding further. Lamson, who claims to be the
acting Go' error, has as yet performed no official
act that at all interferes with the prerogatives of
General Chamberlain.
The House took a recess until 2 o'clock p. m.
