MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR.
A message was received from the Governor, an
- nuunciug that he had approved Assembly Bill No. Bl.
BILL 404.
• a Mr. Hartsos was in favor of accepting the amend
menU, not as a finality, but because it was abso
lutely necessary for the Mate to have some revenue
law under which to work. He accepted it because
he was 'reed to. . .
Mr. SIN in said he was opposed to iccepting the
amendments. If we cannot have a revenue law, then
let the responsibility rest where it belongs.
Mr. Do Brct7. opposed the amendments, and pro
posed to stand by his colors.
Mr. Astuonv sai > the Assessors of the State were
laying on their oars waiting for a revenue law un
der which to work, and nothing can be done. The
House was forced to accept the amendments, or run
the risk of bavins the bill defeated. • ,■■..-.,
Mr. Mayrell observed that the honorable gentle
men of the House who opposed the original bill to
day, since its return from the Senate had suddenly
changed front. He should rote against delay and
in favor of the bilL
Mr. Spencer was willing to accept the amend
ment, in view of the position in which the House
stood. . . . - .■ . •■-..."•..-
Mr. Fox was not disposed to fight the amend
ment, but this bill had not been passed by the
Senate in conformity with the Constitution. It was
not in reference to a mere clerical error, but a mat
ter of substance that he spoke. Because the As
sessors and Supervisors of the State were waiting
for the bill was a strong reason why it should not
pass. . Every Assessor who was wailing for it ought
to be impeached and turned out of office.
Mr. Del Vallb thought if the Assembly voted
upon the bill as it was brought before them, the
requirements of the Constitution would be com
, lied with. It would also be ia accordance »ith
justice and right.
Mr. Merry was opposed to agreeing with the
■amendments of toe Senate, and in favor of a Com
mittee of Conference
Mr. McDadi was in favor of the hill. It would
v.it be policy for the House to surrender all that it
. i 1 gained. •-• ' ■"" ''•>*-.' ■--<..■
Mr. Corcoras said it mi better to pass the bill
"m its amended form than to run the chance of
üßoxing it to be altogether defeated.
Mr. Leach called attention to a typographical
•error. ..-:•-■•. ;•. s/. : : >■- ■ ■■.■- .. '■—-,'
Air, Tiles said the bill had. never beta printed
!as it passed the Senate. Would not the Supreme ;
Court look into that • •
Sir. Morse hope I the bill would be [aisel as it j
hi 1 come before than.
an APPEAL
Mr. Fox claimed that the amendments to the
section ibould be voted on separately.
. The Chaib deeded that the amendments were

Agreed to.
Mr. offered an amendment so as ■■ make
the first in-read " water furnished to sucli city
and county, city or tOWD, or the inhabitants there
of."
Mr. Cox thought the legislation upon this subject
should be such as to prevent further legislation.
Mr. llAiuiT said the Constitution contemplated
that the Lo-lature should pass a law authorizing
tlie Boanl of Supervisors io fix the water rates, and,
for this reason, he was in favor of the bill.
Mr. Matskll said the bill, or rather the substi
tute, wa3 just what the people of San Francisco
wanted. In cases of fire and for sanitary purposes
the city «ou 1! still pay for the water.
The amendment offered by Mr. Adams was lost.
Mr. CoorEß moved an amen talent propos us that
in cose the Board of Supervisors refused to fix the
rates they should he removed from office. Adopted.
Also an amendment providing that proceeding
might be had before any Court of competent juris
diction. Agreed to.
Mr. Yor.M, proposed to amend tie bill, providi g
that its provisions ■nail not apply to any. city or
town furnishing its own water.
Mr. Tyler moved to lay the amendment on the

Mr. Haudv said if a city could supply the water
cheaper than a corporation they would do so. lie
thought the amendment unnecessary.
i Mr. Corcoran, Mr. Brauxhart, Mr. Yocso anil
Mr. lißl-NKt: riseussed the amendment at some
length, and it was lost.
Jlr. Vnt s.i gave notice of reconsideration.
Mr. Merry offered an amendment providing that

cases of fire a d great necessity. Agreed to.
Mr. TYLEa offered an amendment that in 1.0 case
11 shall any person so furnishing water have any
right or privilege of being heard in the fixing of
rates," stating that he wished to relieve the Board*
of Supervisors of any outside influences. The
amendment was lost.
Mr. Anthony offered an amendment to Section 2,
extending the provisions of toe bill to the entire
State. lie thought the law should be general.
Mr. Corcoran indorsed the amendment, and it
was adopted.
Mr. Braitviiart moved to strike out Section 2. If
itwa*..n enabling icttogivetho Supervisors power to
fix the rates, he was in favor of Hedoubted
whether the section as it now stood was constitu
tional.
Mr. Corcoran said the people should only pay a
fair interest upon the money invested in furnishing
them with water. Th.se two sections were intruded
to guard against any such contingenceis.
Mr. Hardy favored the bill.
Mr. Oorley could not support the bill with this
section, because it gave the Board of Supervisors of
San Francisco a chance to commit a great fraud
upon the people He should vote against the bill
i: the section was not stricken out.
Messrs. Matbf.ll and Ca.mu.on made brief speeches
upon the amendment. - - .
.Mr. jlaykkll said the hill provided for the ap
priasement of the property of the water companies

propisition to bring water into San Francisco for a
profit of 4 per cent. It was not made public, how
ever. ,
Mr. May though 1 1 no such proposition had been
made.
Mr. Spencer thought the question of price should
not be touched. In San Francisco capital could be
found, but probably lot elsewhere.
Hr. Anthony thought the amendment was op
posed to the interests of the country.
Mr Corcoran proposed to withdraw his amend
ment, and offer a substitute which should exempt
country towns and counties. I i
Mr. Fox thought such &n amendment was uncon
stitutional. He was opposed to it as special legisla
tion. If it was adopted the Supreme Court would
certainly declare it unconstitutional. He spoke at
considerable length, citing legal authorities in sup
port of this view. . .
Mr. Corcoran said just such provisions as this
had been incorported into laws, and he did not see
why this should not pass.
j Mr. Fklton wag in favor of taking the tax off the

the bill in some respects, but opposed this, i ! { h S
Mr. Mat characterized thi ■ amendment as an "art

Hill called the attention of his colleague to the
fact that Groome, who hud offered the resolution for
the appointment of the special committee before
Gordon offered bis, was not in hi? Mi.it.
Williams said the subject not only presented
foreign commercial and legal questions, but might

Allison demanded the regular order the fgrliS
cation bill.
The tfc'iate committee reported an amendment in
creasing the amount to $2:25,000.
A discussion ensued on the amendment.
Beck criticised the bill as inadequate, but raid it
was not possible to protect our se:t coast all at once.
It was now utterly defenseless, but the bill would
help put it in cuuuitiou ; but more should be done
in view of possible complica'iuns in connection with
the Monroe Doctrine, and with the projection of
American railroads through Mexico, He would
personally vote for the expenditure of $00,000,000
or i'IOOiWWjWO for our defense.
Walla c thought it etrau . c for the Government to
change its policyand got>inanufactuiiiiglargeg us
just as iron liad lisen so largely.
Mcl'hersun said in regard to the memorials of
certain contractors on ironclads to tlie passag •of
appropriations to omplete them, he bad learned
that £7,000.000 or *:(,0 0,000 vbad been expended on
four or five vessels on propositions reading -.-:
" 1 propose to build a certain vessel (undescribed),
in accordance with plans andspeci cations (and the
plwi and S)icci:i"alions are incomplete}, for a cer
tain sum of money." The Navy Department ac
cepted these propositions made by favored contract
ors, and spent millions of dollars on these vessels,
without knowing whether the vessels would Holt or
not when completed, and in fact eminent Boards ">
Survey have reported that even reducing the weight
of the armor 87 per cent. , one of them would sink
at the dock when complete according to the plan of
the contractor. The vessels referred to are the Ter
ror at Cramp's yard, the Monadnock at San Fran
cisco, the Aniphiiritc at Wilmington the Miantono
mab and Puritan, the last named being at Roach's
yard. A Board composed of Lcnthall and Esherwood,
eminent men in the navy, reported these fac s, the
Puntm being the special one referred to. It id fair
to presume that the rest, being built in the sun
general way, arc equally unfit. He thought, in the
face of these facts, the other side could not bo
charged with undue economy.
Windom charged that the Democrats had been
practicing a policy of cutting down appropriations
to m ike .1 show of economy, but afterwards brought
in deficiency bills that brought the expenses up to
the former figure. ,
The amendments were agreed to — ayes 47, noes 12.

contested election case. Kellocg said the article
was false in every particular. He denounced its au
thors as cowards, and offered a resolution for the
appointment of a committee to investigate the
charges.
Thurman asked if the Senate had come to such a
degradation as to notice every newspaper article
scandalizing a Senator. When the resolution cams
up be should move to table it, and let it sleep for
ever.
On motion . f Wallace, the Star route deficiency
bill was taken up. ' j
The Senate adjourned until Monday,
House.
Washington, March 12th.--MeMahon, from the
Appropriatian Committee, referred back the de
ficiency bill, recommending 1600,000 for Marshals'
and deputies' fees, making the total amount of the
bill $1,265,530. No understanding was reached rela
tive to the length of the debate, Conger stating, in
answer to McMahon, that four hours would suffice if
no political riders were placed on the bill.
McMahoo knew of none.
The Speaker presented the President's message,
transmitting messages recently received from the
United States Consul «it Shanghai on slavery in
China. Referred.
The House then went into Committee of the
Whole on the deficiency bill.
M:ihon said the bill made no appropriation for
special Deputy Marshals, and he doubted that such
appropriation would ever be made by the Demo
crats. He asked why the expenses of the printing
office were greater this year than any year since
1675.
Conger— The extra session.
McMahon said it was due partly to that, and
partly to the increased cost of paper; but chiefly to
the large number of employes. **
Ilis»oek said, respecting McMahon's insinuation,
that whatever long might be done had been un
der the House Committee on Printing, not under
the Public Printer, whom he defended as honest and
economical. He was surprised at McMahou's dec
larations that the Democrats did not propose to
obey the decision of the Supreme Court, ana appro
priate for special Deputy Marshals. He alluded to a
similar issue raised by the last Congress of starving
the Government to repeal the election laws. On that
issue Fowler had beaten Ewing, and Garfield had
been elevated in Ohio. He believed the Democrats
would inevitably appropriate the pay of special dep
uties.
Finley also attacked the printing office as extrav
i!:.ii it. and said Franklin Reeves offered to take the
printing office and do all the printing for 90 per
cent, of the present cost, pay 3100,000 rent and
make 125,000 by the transaction.
A bill was introduced by Scales to accept and rat
ify the agreement submitted by the Utes for a
Bale of their Colorado lands, appropriating; $380,000.
A bill was introduced by Covert for the suppression
of pleuro-pneumoma in neat cattle

The Watchmaker's Report.
Evansviik (Ind.), Dec. 27, 1877.
DR. li. R. STEVENS: I have suffered with
Scrofula and Scrofula Humors ever since I could
remember; it ban been in our family for years
before 1 was born. I inherited it. I have tried all
kinds of medicine. After having used a great many
other patent medicines, after having paid many
largo doctor's bills, I heard from a neighbor that
\;;<;i:TINK had cured him. I had pood .faith
because I saw it, and go I went to the Duddenhausen
X grto Drug Store to purchase a bottle of the VEGE-
TINE. I kept taking- the VEGETINE, and, in fact,
I became better and better. When I had taken
several bottles all scrofula sores and marks were
L' lie ; my health very good, It is the best Blood
Purifier 1 ever tried. It will cure Scrofula. It took
the sores and humors off my face : it pave mi- a
clear skin. Everybody «ho has (rot Sit ful.i Humors
should try it. FERDINAND SCHMCK,
Watchmaker, Main street.
I know the above to be true.
DR. CHAS. M. DCDDKNHATJBEN,
Apothecary, No. 519 Main street -
Vkuktine is now acknowledged by our best phj -
sicians to be the only sure and safe remedy for all
diseases arising from impure blood, such as scrofula
and scrofulous humors.
For General Debility.
Daxforth (Me.), October 2, 1877.
MR. STEVEN'S- Dear Sir: My health his always
been poor. Have take» a (Treat ■many kinds of
medicine, but never tsok any that could begin to
help me like the VEGETINE. One year ago last
March, I hail the Lung F Ter ; it left me very feeble
for a long time. I could do but very little work,
ami hard for me to do a little. I had never heard of
VKOfcIIXE. One day I saw the advertisement in a
paper. I felt if I could gat that it would help me.
I sent the next day and got one bottle, and before I
took<>ne bottle I could see good effects from the
medicine. After taking a few bottles I could do a I
good wa:hing. i have taken seven bottles, am I
63 years o d, never was so well in my life and never
was so fleshy, for which I feel grateful to you and to
our Heavenly Father. I recommend it to all around
me, for 1 prize it above all otherroedicines. Respect-
fully yours, MRS. L. R. HOWARD.
Thousands will bear testimony (and do it volun-
tarily), that Vr..(;KTI>E is the best medical com-
pound yet placed before the public for the renovating
and purifying the blood, eradicating all hnmors, im-
purities or |>oisonou!i secretions from the system
debilitated by disease ; in fact, it is, as many have
called it, "Tuc Great Health Restorer." .

MR. H. R. bTEVKNS— Dear Sir: My father has
been afflicted with Dyspepsia and kidney Com-
plaint for the last ten y ars, and has been a great
sufferer. Our family and the neighbors thought we
should lose him. About six months ago he com-
menced taking your VtGETINE. Now he is a well
man, but he would not be with the VEGETINE
in his house, and he advises all persons afflicted with
those complaints to give the VEGETINE a fair trial,
and they will be satisfied that it will cure them He
had tried ail kinds of medicines without success
before taking the VEGETINK. I have myself been |
unwell fir a long time. My father wrote to take the I
VEGETISE, and I have, and can truly say that I
never felt better in my life than Ido now. j -

OUR MOTTO:
V
" Be Sure That You Are Eight, Then Go Ahead!"
Having noticed from the quotations of WOOL, September last, and the quotations
from the manufacturers of SHEETINGS and other Domestics, and that the voice of most
of the Wholesale Merchants cried, "GOODS ARE ADVANCING, AND GOING TO
CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT YEAR." Also, the LEATHER MERCHANTS were
not backward in getting their prices well . aloncr, and the ADVANCE OF "BOOTS AND
SHOES LOOK MOST SURE ; and then again Labor advances from 10 to 15 per cent.,
and as Goods at this time were as cheap, if not cheaper than what they had been for years.
To take the advantage of this raise, we at once placed our orders at different Boot
and Shoe Factories for the kind of Boots and Shoes that we had been keeping in stock, in
large quantities, enough to last us nearly through the year 1880. Our orders are placed'
ahead as far as June next.

Wholesale House on the coast— so it is to the advantage of all to buy their Hats of na.
