STEED AND STABLE DOCK.
In the light of recent events the action
of the Legislature in repealing the Rogers
Act serves to furnish a remarkably apt
illustration of the adage about locking the
stable door after the steed has been stolen.
For the San Francisco Supervisors, paying
no attention whatever to the repeal of the
bill, have coolly gone to work and passed
a resolution accepting the award of the
Commissioners who acted under the bill,
and providing for the issue of bonds to pay
for the purchase of Lake Merced. And as
the Supervisors appear to have the law on
their side, # since the award upon which
they have acted was made while the bill
■was in full force, and since the repeal of
the bill cannot affect any contract entered
into under its provisions, it is in order to in
quire why so much anxiety was manifested
to get this bill repealed When the
repealing Act came before the Legislature
the Commissioners had met and made their
award, and the repeal could not undo what
they had done, supposing their action to
be otherwise legal. Xo doubt the case
will bo taken into Court in any event, but
it '» not clear that it has been helped at all
by the repeal of the Rogers Act. Indeed
this whole matter seems to be involved in
that peculiar kind of mystery which sug
gests the idea of having been manufactured
expressly. It has never been at all defi
nitely demonstrated in what interest the
repeal of the Rogers Act was sought, and
now it appears doubtful whether it could
have been in the interest of anybody, see
ing that it came too late to change the
situation. The Courts may repeal the
award of the Commissioners, but, unless
they do, it looks now as though San Fran
cisco would be the owner of Lake Merced,
nolent, roleii*.
EGYPTIAN MASONRY.
It is stated that in removing the Egypt
ian obelisk at Alexandria, for shipment to
New York, a number of articles ha\ c been
found buried under it, which denionstrjte
the existence of Freemasonry in ancient
Egypt A Mason of erudition is said to
have examined these objects, and to havj
•atistied himself that the connection is
clear. The New York Worhl, which has
been taking a spocial interest in the mat
ter, cautions its readers against too ready
acceptance of tins story, and probably the
caution is not unseasonable. Fur while we
think it capable of demonstration that
many of the forms of Freemasonry
are derived from Kgyptian legends
or ceremonials or scientific instru
ments, it by no means follows that
anything resembling Freemasonry as
now known existed among the ancient
Egyptians. There are few religion 3or
beliefs of any kind which have not some
traces of old-world mythology or ritual
about them, but it would be very rash to
argue from the presence of such traces that
these religions were known to the ancients.
That somewhat has be«n filtered down from
the mysteries of lais and Osiris into mod
ern Freemasonry, is tolerably certain, but
we do n»t believe that the obelisk or any
other repository of relics can prove that
Masonry, aa now understood, had an ex
istence in Egypt four thousand years ago.
OBSTRUCTIONISTS IN THE LEGISLATURE.
The absolute necessity of adoptir.g some
means of facilitating legislation, and espe-
cially of securing the enactment of a rev
enue law in time to put the new revenue
system in operation on the date fixed by
the Constitution, moved the Republican
members of the Legislature to propose a
joint committee. This was the only prac
ticable method available for the avoidance
of delays which threatened to prevent the
passage of a revenue bill. The proposal
was distinctly and tntirely in the line of
duty, and in the interests of the people.
There was no ground for rational objection
to it. It had been advanced by tho ma
jority in both chambers most properly,
seeing that they represented the polit
ical organization upon which the main
responsibility for action must rest. It
was a business-like and sagacious plaD.
and it ought to have obtained tho un
hesitating indorsement and acquiescence
of every member of the Legislature.
But though the increasing pressure of
business is patent t<> all ; though the ne
cessity of prompt action upon the revenue
bill is clear as day ; though every hour is
preciou3 until that vital measure is dis
posed of ; a clique of members of the
Assembly compelled the absolute loss of
the better part of a working day, on Man
day, in resisting au arraugem,,,; which
they had not the shadow of justification
for opposing, and which they knew from
the outset they could not defeat. A more
flagrant piece of obstruction for the mere
sake of obstruction has seldom been perpe
trated. The Workingmen iv the Assembly
put themselves in the discreditable atti
tude of lighting the serious business of the
session, and of fighting it in such a way as
to show that they only carod to hinder
progress. Opposition to specific measures
is quite a different matter, but in this case
it was the endeavor to do the work
of the session in the most businesslike
way that was so persistently resisted.
The obstructionists knew perfectly well
that unless the revenue bill can be, not
merely enacted, but put into the hands of
the Assessors, before the first of March,
the provisions of the new Constitution on
taxation cannot be applied this year. They
knew, further, that if the ordinary course
were followed it would be impossible to
get the work done in the time ; that if each
Chamber drew up a separate bill it would
take at least twice as long to make an
agreement as if both Chambers worked in
concert. Yet, despite these notorious facts
member after member rose and protested
against the efforts of the Republicans to
put the new Constitution in operation.
Tlio grounds of objections stated by the
obstructionists were frivolous. The at
tempt to make it appear that the Republi
cans sought to coerce them was absurd.
They exhibited an equal ignorance of par
liamentary methods, of their duty to the
people, and of the proper limitations of
partisan opposition. There was no parti
san question at issue, and there could not
be one. The Republicans, recognizing
their predominant responsibility, and re
solved not to be accused of any effort to
ev.ide the new Constitution, had deter
mined to put an end to the dilatory and
futile habits which had grown up, and to
do the work before them energetically.
That was tlie whole proposition, and
it was this practical and public-spir
ited and honorable determination to give
the new Constitution fair play, that
was so obstinately opposed by the very men
who pretend to be its special champions
and supporters. Of course it was certain
from the first that the obstructionists
could not carry their point, and this fact
aggravated the wantonness and perversity
of their action, for as they had nothing to
hope from resistance, it was clear that they
had no object but the obstruction of busi
ness. Their folly will be seen by inquiring
what course they would have followed if
they had been iv the majority. Accord
ing to their own statements they would
have insisted upon adhering to the ordi
nary practice, and, as everyone can per
ceive, this would have resulted in the de
feat of the revenue bill, and probably
would have rendered an extra session
necessary. We should therefore have had
the spectacle of the new Constitu
tion members arraying themselves in
opposition to the new Constitution, and if
the Republicans, being in the minority,
had taken the position they have now done,
it is obvious that the obstructionists would
have been forced to follow their lead in or
der to save themselves from political wreck.
A more fatuous policy than these members*
have pursued, indeed, could not be con
ceived. They have shown themselves an
imated by a blind and narrow partisanship
precisely when their own partisan interests
should have dictated a course of liberal
accord with their colleagues, and in doing
this they have rendered the sincerity of
their devotion to the new Constitution lia
ble to sharp suspicion.
GOVERNMENT RAILROADING IN GERMANY.
Bismarck is about to enter upon the ex
periment of placing .ill the railroads of
Germany under Government ownership
and control. It is an undertaking which
will no doubt be productive of valuable ex
perk-ace for the rest of the world, butjthe
grounds for believing that it must ulti
mately prove a failure are so strong that
very little doubt oa the question can be
entertained. A similar tendency toward
state ownership has been developed in Bel
gium, and M. de Laveleye, the distin
guished Belgian economist, has been study
ing the arguments for and against the
movement with characteristic thorough
ness and impartiality. Iv a recent paper
on this subject he sets conn the advan
tages and disadvantages of the system
in tegular order. He thinks that
the Government will profit from the in
crease of traffic ; that shippers will derive
benefits from a lower and mere uniform
tariff; from continuity of transportation;
from economy of time, through the avoid
ance of transhipments ; and through the
eii:a'.ization of ratc3 earned by the cover
ing of the losses on ill-paying lines by the
profits on tho lucrative roads. On the
other side are to be set the disadvantages,
which are as follows: "(1.) Kmployes
"will be more numerous under the .State
" than under the company system. Po
litical considerations superadded to
"these influencing corporations will give
" place-hunter 3an advantage. (2.) The
" law of self-interest and responsibility is
"always less active in the service of
"the State. (3.) Ths exigencies of
"electoral interests have an *in
" flnence on the construction of lines,
" their route, and on the tariff; and this is
" simply detestable. (4.) If there is any -
" thing objectionable in the management
" the Go-ernment is held responsible. If
" there is delay or accident, the cry will
"be 'Down with the Ministry 1' (a.) The
"patronage of the Government will be
" enormously increased nnder the state
" system, and the party in power will
" naturally use this power as a mean* of
"carrying measures and maintaining its
"ascendancy." On a candid comparison
M. de Laveleye considers that the disad
vantages by far preponderate, and tlu3 is
unqueSiNEably the opinion which has been
reached by a'. 1 who have examined this
question carefully.
The governmental control systenf uas
often been proposed in this country, but ™
is evident that every one of the objections
to that plan discerned by M. de Laveleye
would operate with greater force under a
democratic government than they could
possibly uuder a monarchy or an abso
lutism. The measure which Bismarck is
about to force through the German Parlia
ment may not produce its worst effects
while his strong hand is on the helm of
State, but when he is gone and weaker
ministers Eiieceed him, and faction becomes
powerful, the governmental railroad owner
ship will become a powerful factor in
politics, and as it does co its usefulness to
the nublic will diminish. There is in
every such scheme the possibility
of. enormous corruption and waste,
and the temptations to use such agency for
political purposes are certain to be so
strong that it can only lie a question uf
time for thi3 prostitution to take place.
In the iy,iited States a government railroad
system would, under existing conditions,
be at once and immediately utilized
as part and parcel of the spoils of
party warfare. It is probable that in
a very few years the prolits which
corporations have derived from transporta
tion would disappear, being absorbed in ex
travagance, waste, inefficiency, and pecu
lation. Rival politicians would promise
reductions of rates without any regard to
the cost of operation and repair, and pres
ently deficiencies would begin to appear in
the annual returns, and taxation would have
to make them good. Thus the people
would be made to pay through the nose
for the luxury of Government transports,
tion, and they would discover, whi n it was
too late, that they had only succeeded in
increasing enormously the army of ollicc
seekers, and in intensifying all the worst
evils of faction by enlarging the spoils of
office, and attracting greater numbers of
ambitious men from legitimate avocations
to the devious and demoralizing ways of
professional politics. Ten years hence it
will be in order to inquire how Hismarck's
experiment has succeeded. By that time
it will probably be realized that (luvern
ment ownership of transportation is not
what its advocates have hitherto imagined.
FEES.
Mr. Satterwhite calls our attention to
the fact that his fee bill requires all fees to
be paid into the county treasury. This is
doubtless an improvement upon tlio old
syetcm, but the questtuu whether the fee
system is a desirable one is not settled by
it. A principal cause of complaint in any
system of the kind is the inwiwuiil and
vexatious imposts placed upon the transac
tion of business requiring to lie dune
through public functionaries. It is a form
of taxation open to grave economical ob
jections, and it is likely to prove seriously
embarrassing to the poor at critical junc
tures. We are satisfied that ths multipli
cation of fees is igunßt public policy,
whether the fees are pocketed by officials,
or are covered into the public treasury.
Those modes of collecting revenue are al
ways to be preferred which entail the least
inconvenience and annoyance upon the tax
payer, and the fee system cannot be re
girded as one of these methods.

".SAT DOWN UPON."
Uaxoor, January 27th. — The Supreme
Court Justices to-day set forth their reasons
in answer to Fusioiiists' questions for declin
ing to recognize the Fuskntfcit Legislature.
They say that while not admitting, even by
implication, that any legally organized body
has submitted those questions, yet they would
I be lacking in duty i! they should fail to give
the reason* which may guide citizens in
pursuing their duty. As the SHpreme Court
must eventually, in all cases like the present,
pass upon the laws which called or actual
legislative bodies pas?, it is proper that that
tribunal should consider it at once, with or
without question, which in the one and only
Legislature of the two claimants. The Court
say that a large portion of tins question ha»
been decided in its answers to Governor Gar
celon's questions. By these answer* it ap
pears that Governor Garcelon and the Coun
cil, in burning certificates of election to certain
men as Senators and liepresentatives, who
did not appeal to be e'eited, and declining to
issue to certain others who did appear to h<
elected, were in violation" of their
legal and constitutional obligations
and duties. They cannot ignore the fact that
I Garcelon disregarded the opinion of the Court
I given inanswertohisquestionsandomitted to
revoke the summons illegally issued to men
not elected, nor did he issue summonses to
men who were elected. The officers who pre
sided in ths Fusion branches of the Legisla
ture recognized men as members who were
unlawfully introduced into them by unconsti
tutional means, ami refused to recognize cer
tain ones who were lawfully elected. It
cannot be claimed that the Fusion House
ever had a quorum, without counting
men whom this Court had declared not
elected, and therefore they cannot recognize
the Fusion House as the legal body. The
same is true of the Senate. They then con
sidered whether there is in existence a legal
Legislature, anil conclude that the organiza- '
tions made peaceably on the 12th of January
— the Republican House and Senate —
made by "a majority of the members appear
ing to be elected. They traverse, the point
raised that the Republic an organization was
illegal because no notice of intended action
was given the minority, so as to enable them
to participate, and say the minority was not
excluded. The organization was publicly
made, and the want of notice did not invali
date the organization. Although the manner
was irregular, yet the voice of the people is
not to be stifled on that account, nor the Gov
ernment fail to be maintained. Full quorums
were present, and the houses were therefore
legal bodies.
The Justices conclude by saying that they
only perform a solemn duty in deciding that
the Senate presided over by Joseph A. Locke,
and the House presided over by George K.
Weeks, are the legal and constitutional Legis
lature of the State. All the Justices signed
the decision.
Affair* at Ihe Villonnl Capital.
(Special to tbe Kecord-Umok.J
WASHINGTON, January 27th. — The favor
able action of the Finance Committee to-day
on J. M. Morton's nomination as (^Hector of
Intertill Revenue was a >,rcat surprise to the
California .Senators', for out of eight members
of the committee now in Washington no less
than six have heretofore expressed them-
Belves as being in accord with the position
taken by the California delegation on this
(object. Careful inquiry developed the fact,
however, that the changed attitude of some
members of the committee is more apparent
than real. The vote to-day on the question
of authorizing the nomination to be reported
back to the Senate favorably was Ayes—
Veorhees, Merrill, l'eiry and Allison— 4.
— BayarJ, Kern;.n and Wallace— 3.
Jones of Nevada was absent. Beck, who is
opposed to Morton's confirmation, yielded to
Yoorhees' urgent solicitations sufficiently to
within Id his vote, which would otherwise
have been cast in the negative, and thus
made the result a tie. Allison will, it
i* said on positive authority, . vote
against confirniation when the question comes
up in the Senate, but m not willing is take
the responsibility of taking a deciding vote in
the committee against the son of hii old col
league. Ferry, who is also from a State near
enough to Indiana to make a vote on his part
against Senator Morton's son an embarrass
ment desirable to avoid, followed Allison in
voting for a favorable report, on the ground
of sympathetic interest; but it was evident
that he win almost as strongly inclined to
vote the other way, and there is no proba
bility of his giving the nomination active sup
port in the Senate. The committee and its
action, therefore, cannot be consideied by any
means as significant of the ultimate fate of
the nomination, as it would be under ordinary
circumstances, and although Mr. Morton's
friends have unquestionably gained a great
advantage by it, the final result may very
possibly disappoint the expectations thus
raited, and be in fact very slightly affected
by the committee's nominal judgment The
nomination was reported to the Senate in ex
ecutive cession this afternoon by Mr. Voor
hees, and placed on the calendar for future
consideration. It will probably not be taken
up for action before next week.
The Senate, during to-day "a executive ses
sion, finally deposed of a long-standing
subject of contest by confirming Norman
Buck* nomination as one of the United
States Judges for Idaho, to succeed Associate
Justice Clark, who was nominated as his
own successor nearly tiro years ago, and then
confirmed by the Senate, but whose commis
sion was withheld by President Hayes by
reason of certain charges brought to light im
mediately after the date of the confirmation.
The case was before the Senate in the last
Congress and discussed several times, but
went over, from one caiue or another, until
tvday, when it was finally settled.
Caldwell of Kentucky, in behalf of j the
Private Land Claims Committee, endeavored
to obtain unanimous consent to-day to report
for postage a resolution directing the Secre
tary of the Interior to suspend action on the |
New Idria Company's application for a patent
until Congress shall j have disposed of the
pending bill on the subject ot the McGarra
han claim, but Page promptly objected, and
the resolution therefore was not read ; but
doubtless it will be brought before the House
within the next few days, as the committee
will very soon be reached in the regular call
for reports.
Senator Lamar's friends are much relieved
by advices received by Senator Gordon as to
his condition. He has left Jackson, and is
now at hi* home in Oxford, and his health
improves steadily. He is therefore expected
to be able to resume his. seat in tbe Seriate
very soon.
Presidential Prospects. - -
Chicago, January 27th.— Halstea^
telegraphs to his paper from Washington as j
follows, respecting the Presidential pros- |
poets: "There is every prospect that the j
Grant Presidential boom will not last more ]
than two weeks longer, It "roisUes to end ]
peremptorily find f.ually at tfie Pennsylvania
State Convention next week. It is reliably
learned here that some of Grant's most inti
mate friends in Pennsylvania have au
thority from him to act in the prem
ise?, and that they will withdraw his
name from consideration as a candi
date. The Pennsylvania Convention,
where there will be delegates from several
counties instructed for Grant, will give his
friends an opportunity to tpeak out on the
subject. His friends decline to enter into a
contest for the position, and of late it has
become very apparent to them that it would
be impossible for him to get the nomination
without a contest."
Halstead ably quoted James R. Young (a
Grant man) as paying that Sherman has been
doing stalwart work in his own campaign,
and has alarmed Elaine's followers ana sup
porters, and that it is expected that Blame
will devote himself to getting the Grant
votes, should Grant be withdrawn from the
canvass.
l.r.iiil mill the I'rc.iii- in .
K&W York, January 27th.— Philadel
phia special to the Herald says that George
W. Childs told a correspondent : " I have no
hesitation in saying that Grant's best friends
have not urged his candidacy for a third
term. If he ehould publicly decline, he
would please them. Of course they will
support him if he is nominated, and not one
of them would attempt to influence the Gen
eral by persuasion, one way or the ether."
<.;u li> !ii'-> Choice.
CoUlfßCa (O.), January 27th.— State Sen
ator Horr, having written Senator Garlield,
inking a public expression from that gentle
man on the Presidential question, Garfield
replied that on the grounds of the best inter
ests of the whole country and of har
mony in Ohio, and in answer to the question
on what candidate can the Republicans of
Ohio most cordially and effectively unite, he
hail no doubt a majority of the Republican
party in Ohio favor the nomination of John
Sherman. He gives Secretary Sherman
warm words of praise, and hopes that he will
be nominated.

fur business yesterday to Buffalo, Boston,
Baltimore and Canada and intermediate
points. The rates charted were exactly the

■ till they were not really ready for business,
and would not be until about March Ist.
They had consented to anticipate that date
merely to accommodate the new French

that the question of rates had not yet been
considered by the Board of Directors, and
they really could m>t give any definite infor

The Electric Light — Edison's Progress.
New York, January 27th. — The Sim says:
The electric light in Menlo Park looked yel
low in contrast with the light of the full moon
last evening as yellow as gas lights appear
in contrast with the electric lights. A num
ber of the globes containing the lights that
have been up '200, 300 and 400 hours have
been found to be cracked where the wires
pierce the glass, and have been taken down.
Their places have been filled with new lamps,
none of which have yet cracked. Edison
said last evening that these new lamps gave
him reason to believe that they would not
crack at all. He says that now 82 lights are
aglow on the circuit. This is the largest
number yet used. Three new buildings are
now in course of erection on the laboratory
ground?. One U for the glass-blower*, the
second for fourteen dynamo machines, by
which Edison proposes to start TOO light",
and the third is the machine shop.

The Rriliih «.>-.< I Trade.
Loxdos, January 27th.— The Mark Lane
Express 1 review of the British grain trade for
the past week says : All outdoor work in
; again stopped by frost. Thrashing occupies
I the attention of farmers, ami home-grown
! wheat is consequently more liberally offered.
In some district*, notably Yorkshire, fears
are expressed that recently sown wheat ha*
been frosted, or from some other cause is
deficient in vitality. Many of the early
sown fields elsewhere, however, are looking
well. Some iinproveir.ert is noticeable in the
condition of the home-grown wheat offered
at tin- country market", but all except the
choicest lots have been neglected. 'Imports
of foreign wheat ii to Loudon have been
moderate, and American especially small.
Business has been quiet, and the week's de
mand was of an ordinary consumptive char
acter, principally for descriptions of foreign
wheat available as a substitute for English.
According to a moderate computation, it is es
timated that the requirements of Great Britain
and France will reach 12,000,000 quartern be
tween this and August, exclusive of the
quantity now afloat. Notwithstanding this,
the trade continues discouraging to holders.
As a consequence of the liberal stocks to
select from, and the bad demand for Hour,
millers have shown no desire to do more than
meet present requirements. It seems scarcely
likely that any marked rise can be expected
before May or June. Under any circum
stances it will be necessary for the American
ring to hold it» overstocks some time
longer. Arrivals at ports of call have been
small. The demand for wheat has been
quiet, and somewhat irregular, at a decline of
a shilling to two shillings per quarter. Wheat
for shipment was very inactive, though of
fered at a shilling to *•■• shillings per quarter
less. Maize was slow, at a decline of six
pence. Sales of English wheat last week were
;W,'JO;S quarters at 45s 7d per quarttr,
against 540,71*2 quarters, at Sfsi Id per qua;
ter for the corresponding week of last year.
Imports into the United Kingdom during the
week ending January 17th were 5113 -">"> cwts.
of wheat and 228,510 cwts. of Hour.'

Indian Jim came to town Thursday,
bringing portions of a huge bear. He
brought the paws and gull to sell to the
Chinese, and sold a ham to one of our cit
izens. The ham weighed nearly forty
pounds, so th.it its original possessor must
have weighed nearly SOO pounds, although
from Jim's description of the animal we
should believe it weighed twice A3 much.
He would have brought it all to Truckee,
but had no means of transportation. It
was kilied on the other side of Lake Tahoe,
near the headwaters of the American river.'
Jim gays that in capturing it he had a
pretty close c.-.H. He discovertd the bear
in a brush thicket near dark, and came
close upon him before he know of his pres
ence. He lirtd at him, but, it bein" near
dark, made a bad shot and hit him back of
the heart, only wounding him. Mr. Bruin
then made a rush for Mr. Injun, who took
to his heels, and found a retreat up a small
pine tree. The tree being so small around
the bear could not climb it, he immedi
ately proceeded to gnaw and tear it down.
While in this precarious situation the In
dian made another shot with telling effect,
by shooting him through the head, his as
sailant falling instantly. Jim does not
seem to be cowed by his close call, but Eays
he ia ready for another bear hunt. —

" In a poem read by Robert' Giant at the

And you whose young hearts, it is f^ir to assume,
Like oar stocks and our statesmen, are all on the

In London, on the Surrey side, many of
the "horse cars ' are drawn by mules, and
these mules come all the way from Ken

but nobody paysany attention to it. What
we call in this country the "bob-tail" car,
which docs away with the conductor, and
requires that the passengers put their fare
in a box, has been taken to London, and
seems to be as popular there as it is un

of the articles it is impossible to estimate,
bat the gold and silver and precious stones
with which they are ornamented must be
worth hundreds of thousands of pounds ;

mated at from i.7>0,000 to £80,000. It is
covered over with diamonds, some of them

How spiders lire under water is thus ex
plained : The creature goes to the surface
of the water and moves all its legs busily,
just as if it were trying to crawl out of the
water. Suddenly it gives a sharp jerk or
kick, and dives beneath the surface. It
then looks exactly as if it were surrounded
by a case of polished silver, owing to a
bubble of air which it ha^finclosed beneath
its long hind legs. Besides this there arc
a number of smaller bubbles which cling to
the other legs, and which can be added to
the principal bubble when needed. The
supply of air is sufficient to last the Fpider
for a considerable time.
