Mr. Dickinson offered a substitute for Section 2,
which added the Commissioner on Emigration and
some addition to the clerical force of the different
departments. It provided for. the appointment of
a Register of the Land Office. "
) Mr. Johnson thought the Constitution made the
office of Surveyor-General a coustitut onal office, and
that there was no authority for making a Deputy-
Register of the Land Office. -
Sir. Johnson also opposed an increase in the num
ber of clerks in the Controller's office, and desired
these should be reduced from the number in the
substitute.
Mr. Dickinson withdrew his substitute.

.'A lengthy discussion took place regarding this
clerkship.::- -.....■.--.' ...
1 Mr. Johksos thought the labor Imposed was very
light, and the appoi tment not needed. '
Mr. Davis thought the only question was whether
the Superintendent needed a clerk. The educational
department should be relieved so far as necessary
from unnecessary labor.
v Mr. Enos thought if the office required a clerk the
Superintendent should have it. : The Chairman of
the committee recommended it, and he saw no rea
son why the amendment should not prevail. : • . ' '■' t
I Mr. Cokoer thought the clerk needed, and the
authority should he given.

Secretary from 1,600 to $2,400 per year. : This was
the salary now paid, and the duties of the office re
quired it. .... "
i Mr. Johnson was not in favor of cutting down sal.
Aries where ttey were reasonable. ■:.; - ,

cused. - ,
. Soon after the officer appeared with Senator Lano-
FORD, who said : " Mr. President, I have to say to
the Senate by way of apology that I was out to see
the Secretary of one of my committees on important
business connected with my duties as a member."
The Senator was unanimously excused.
Mr. Brown moved that further proceedings under
the call of the House be dispensed with. Lost. '->'■-'.-
Mr. Satterwiiite moved that they he temporarily
suspended, ai.d the reading of the bill be proceeded
with. Carried — 28, noes 7. . .
The Clerk then read several sections of the bill,
when Mr. Baker was brought in by tie Sergeant-at-
Arms. '•"-...-."'.
Mr. Sears raised the ) lint of order that the rule
under which the call. bad been made being sus
pended, the call falls and nothing could be done
now. ■ ■_"• ' .'-..■
This was sustained, and Senator Baker retired.

ant Adjutant-General at $1,800. Carried— ayes 20,

Mr. Johnson moved to fix the salary of the Presi
dent of the Senate and the Speaker of the Asssmb y
at $480 each for. each regular session ; also making
the same allowance for mileage and contingent ex
penses as were allowed to members.
Mr. Fnos hoped this amendment would be voted
down.
Mr. Satterwiiite was of the same opinion. ';; ' : y
Mr. Johnson's amendment was voted down— ayes
4, noes 29. ;
Mr. Satterwiiite moved to fix the salaries at $15
per day each. He thought the Lieutenant-Governor
should have a salary of at least $1,000 a session
and the same mileage as the members. In order to
do this it was necessary, according to the Constitu
tion, to give the Speaker the same.
Mr. Enos thought the dignity of the office re
quired a salary of at least 81,500.
Mr. Johnson said the question was whether the
Senate had the constitutional right to adopt this

ment, and it was opposed by Messrs. Davis and

Mr. Dickinson moved to fix the amount at $10 per
day.'.' ;
Mr. Conger said the Legislature was to provide by
law fur the salary— the only limitation was that it
must, be confined to the time of the session. The
position of Lieutenant-Governor and that of the
Speaker of the Assembly gave the right to fix a
separate salary for these two officers. He was in
favor of liberal pay.
Mr. Dickinson's amendment was adopted, also
allowing mileage and contingent expenses.

Senate Bill No. 211— An Act to amend Section
1422 of the Civil Code, relating to water rights and
riparian proprietors (by Mr. SatKrahite).
.Mr. oi xi moved to strike out the enacting
clause.
Mr. Felton said the bill was very nicely and art
fully drawn. He thought it a bad bill. It is in
tended to take away the entire righn of riparian
owners. If a man had a mill, or if he was irrigating
his garden, he would have no right to keep the
water for anything but live stock and cooking pur
poses. This bill is in the interest of some -an
Bernardino schemes he could mention. There is no
provision for payina- for these rights.
Mr. Cook opposed the bill.
Mr. Corcoran defended the bill. The bill was rot
in the interest of the schemes spoken of. Ihe bill
had received 27 votes in the Senate. It interferes
with the infamous doctrine of riparian rights, by
which a man living at the mouth of a river can pre
vent any man living on the stream from diverting
any of the water. The bill gives every person living
on a stream the right to the use of the same. This
was the object of the bill, and the whole object.
EVENING SESSION.
The consideration of Senate Bill No. 211 was
resulted.
Mr. Tvi.r.R quoted the legal definition of the term,
" riparian rights. The bill is an attempt to re
verse the decision of the Supreme Court, by the
Senator from one Of the lower counties. The Su
preme Court has decided against the parties in San
Bernardino, and now they come to the Legislature
and try to reverse that ruling. It was the worst
steal that has been attempted during the session.
Mr. Streeter believed it to be a good and honest
bill. The decision spoken of rendered a number of
farmers homeless because they are deprived if water
by a lot of capitalists, who have control of the
streams. . .
Mr. Hartson said the bill did not apply alone to a
single case, but to all the counties of the State, and
be could not support it. This bill takes away the
rights of thousands to meet one individual case.
Mr. Vot'SO opposed the passage of the bill. It
has long been the law that surplus waters may be
appropriated for various uses. ■ That law never in
tended to give to any man the right to appropriate
any but the surplus waters of streams, Ihe ripa
rian proprietors are en- hied to the use of all water
necessary for their own needs. This bill proposes
to strip them of the rights which they have always
enjoyed. It proposes to subvert not only the legal
rights, but the very natural , rights of riparian
owners. B .
Mr. Brainhart said there was a misunderstand
ing. He knew something of the case in San Bernar
dino. This i anch was a fraudulent grant, andPoi-e&
Talbot have monopolized the water, which has been
used undisturbed by a number of poor settlers fur
twenty-five years. The bill, so far from being asteal,
is intended to prevent a steal from honest settlers.
Mr. DI'BRI'TZ favored the passage of the bill.
There was no steal in it. He replied to the vari»u«
criticisms of members on the floor. Tho men who
have oppose I this bill have heretofore advocated un
mitigated steals. -
Mr. Tyler Said if the gentleman referred to him
he was a liar.
A dozen voices demanded that the language be
taken down. K^pSßMM9|nflNb#«<^l
The Speaker said the language was cot applied to
the gentleman. -
Mr. Dcßkutz said he referred to the bills advo
cated by these gentlemen. ■ He thought it an honor
to be called a liar and a scoundrel by some.
Mr. Tyler said if Mr. Dußrulz did not refer to
him he would take it back.
Mr. Dußrutz continued his argument in favor of
the bill. He was shut off br the Speaker's gavel.
The House refused to grant him further time.
Mr. Camron said he was trying to get information
on the bill. He wanted the friends of the bill ti
discuss the proposed law and not each other. .He
wanted to know how this change will affect vested
rights. 'He knew the law as it stands is good, and
be wanted to know tbe effect of the change before
he voted for it. '
I Mr. Del Valle said the bill amends the Code so
as simply to define what a riparian owner is, in con
formity with the decision of the Court. The bill
cannot interfere with any vested right : These legal
gentlemen ought to have own that vested righto
are sacred, and that it ] is impossible to touch them.
He though the bill was dear and honest." Vested
rights stand forever, and this is a mere definition as
to what vested righto are. He hoped the bill would
pass. ' .' - ' :.
« Mr. McCartt opposed the bill as overturning the
law which had stood for a thousand years. .
Mr. Harris defended the bid. ' It does not inter

The Debris Question and the Approaches '
to Mare Islantl.
[Special to the Record-Union.]
Washington, April 12th.— Representatives
Davis and Berry were before the House Naval
Committee to-day, by invitation, in regard to
the debris question, as brought up by Secre
tary Thompson's information concerning the
shoaling of the approaches to the Mare
Island Navy Yard. Calvin V. Brown, civil
engineer of the navy, recently stationed at
Mare Island, was also present. Theie ap
peared to be some doubt in the minds of the
committee whether, in view of the rapid
shoaling of the channel reported by Secretary
Thompson, it would be judicious to make
any further appropri itions at present for the
permanent improvements of the navy yard.
Brown assured the committee that there is no
danger of having to abandon Mare Island for
this reason, showed how, with a proper
straight wall in front, the channel can always
be kept clear. Barry and Davu cordially
coincided in this, and earnestly took the
ground that the Government should
make liberal appropriations ' ..• to con
struct a sea-wall, and provide for
other needed improvements, especially the
completion of the stone dry-dock. Davis
pointed out the advisability of harmonious
action on the part of this committee with the
Committee on Commerce and Mining, and to
this end suggested that all three should ap
point sub-committees to confer together on
the various subjects involved in the debris
question. The committee asked many ques
tions, which were promptly answered by the
California Congressmen, and it is believed
that good results will accrue from the con
ference.
The I'ccblo of Sun Francisco.
[Special to the Kkcord-Lnion.]
Washington, April 12th.— Secretary
of War today transmitted to Congress a let
ter from General Wright, Chief of Engineers,
in relation to the pending bill to confirm the
survey of the pueblo of San Francisco, and
suggesting certain amendments thereto, which
are deemed important for the protection of
the interests of the United States. General
Wright says : The Generals in command of
the Division of the Pacific and the Depart
ment of California have at different times de
nounced the survey in question, so far as it
relates to the Presidio reservation, as fraudu
lently incorrect, j General Halleck". in 1800,
said of it: "It appears that certain notori
ous land-grabbers of this city had formed a
conspiracy with some employes of the United
States Surveyor-General's office for the pur
pose of getting possession of some 200 or
more acres of the military reserve at the Pre
sidio." General Ord, in ISOB, wrote: "This
land which would be lost is worth at least
§1,000 an acre, and I recommend an earnest
protest against a survey that would deprive
the Government of land so necessary and
useful, which it ha« always had and which
the existing laws and decisions, if adhered to,
would ' undoubtedly give it." General Mc-
Dowell, in strenuously objecting to the same
effect in January, 1870, said : "It is difficult
for me, even at this late day,, to write of this
matter and use only the language of an offi
cial document." .

only recourse of the railroad company, he
says, is to establish its claim in a Court, and
sets forth that the . 1,780 shires of stock re
ceived by it from the Atlantic and Pacific
Company, when the contract was first made,
must be returned before the proceedings are
begun, as . these : shares were of t,mall value
when taken by the railroad company, and
are : very valuable : now. ' , It ia considered a
great victory for the telegraph company. A
long litigation is promised.
The Chinese Question- Evarts' Report.
[Special to the Rkcord-Union.]
Washington,* April 12th. — Secretary
Evarts' report concerning the progress of the
negotiations with China turns out to be just
what was expected, both in its excuses and
delay, and its predictions of success in the
future ; . but there is considerable comment in
Pacific . coast j circles I concerning ' his disiu
geniousness in laying stress upon the fact that
the joint :" res^'ution ; referred to by Willis'
resolution was not passed, while at the same
time he makes allusion to the similar resolu
tions which were passed by , the . same Con
gress, and is equally careful to say nothing
about the I passage | of | the fifteen passenger
bill, which had been sent to the j President
and vetoed before he gave his first instructions
to Minister Seward on this subject. ..
JV. . The West Point Outrage.
West Point, April 12th —In the Whitta
ker inquiry to-day, cadet Burdette testified
that his suspicion that the affair was a hoax
originated when he saw that Whittaker had
control of ; his eyelids, although apparently
senseless. On cross-examination he confessed
that he knew nothing as to the normal posi
tion of a person's eyes when in a position like
Whittaker's. * He mentioned £ other small
matters which confirmed his suspicion. v iV
■ Superintendent James Gaylor," of the New
York Postoffice, is comparing, as an expert,
the note of I warning in Whittaker's room
with that of different cadets, including Whit
taker. ■',""' i -• .'.IV '- ■: "■'■ I" ...
' ;; Recorder Sears stated ; that Whittaker is
not kept in Court continually, for the reason
that his standing in the class is such that I he
cannot afford ; to lose any time. He said ; he
had - no theory or opinion [as i to Whittaker's
guilt } : ~f^--z'yAy^yyi%yyy^.;:f;:y,:;y:tz
Superintendent Gaylor, the expert in writ
ing, testified , that 1 nine ' of > the | twenty-five

circumstance of the exodus was that the j

fact alienated sympathy with them. It is |
now feared that a continuation of colored ar- j
rivals will divert white . immigrants, and !
thus damage the State.

lows : A^SSBQSBSfiBBBKBBSEBQRf
I am exceedingly well pleased with the result of
the election. ' Our party has gained nine seats from
the Whigs and Tories, while a marked improvement
has been effected in its personnel. The timid and
insincere have been replaced by determined and
zealous workers. - We have arricd Leinster, Munster
and Connaught, except one county. It is incorrect
to suppose that the : I iberals are . rendered inde
pendent of the Irish members. Their majority dis
appears should we join . the Conservatives. ■' More
over, our party will scarcely cross to the ministerial
side of -the House, even though that side should
be .■ occupied '.by ; Liberals instead »f Conserva
tives. Our presence in opposition will be undtr
stood as a constant reminder of the . slender nature
of . the tenure by which the Ministers hold their .
power. ' We expect that a good land hi 1 will be in
troduced and pissed immediately. I We alio antici
pate the early pass of a local government meas
ure, as well as a household franchise bill. ; Tbe latter
would enable ns to carry every Irish teat in Parlia
; ment, with very few insignificant exceptions. Should
the Liberals refuse Ito accede to our jus'- demands,
they can be very ; promptly reduced to order by a
determined stand uu the pit of our members, the
i resent Irish party is an immense advance in every
rc-pect upon previous representations, and sufficient
men have been returned of a class that know what

at Mandleay for the restoration of the King's
health were buried alive, not burned,'. under '..
the towers of the city walls. ,
_ Following is an explanation of the horror :
hen a city is built in Burma human sacri
fices are offered. A new monarch usually
has a new capital. The evil spirits are irri
tated because there has been no I change of
capita], and the virtue of the old sacrifices
being gone to appease the evil spirits, tha
astrologers declared it necessary to offer 700 ;
lives. The sacrifice was made by order of
King Thei! .". ; ."
Theebau's son and heir, only a few months ';
old, and the brother of - the late king, have
both died of small-pox.
Astrologers advise Thechan to remove the
capital to Mount Shobo, the original seat of
the present dynasty.

There is here a feeling of deep and genera!
regret at the tendency lately shown at home
to drag the Viceroy and Indian questions into

that it will be a most dangerous innovation if
the Viceroy henceforth shall be liable to re
call or bewxpeoted to resign when the Gov
