Mr. Voorhies offered a concurrent res olution providing that a joint committee bo appointed on behalf of both branches of the Legislature to inquiro into the matter of certain alleged disclosures with reference to some papers found in a waste basket which it was claimed involved tho integrity of members of the Legislature. Tbe resolution was adopted, and the Chair appointed as such committee Messrs. Voorhies, Crandall and Berry. Assembly messages were then taken up. and the Senate, on motion of Mr. Heacock, refused to recede from its amendments to A. B. 235, in which tho Assembly declined to concur. The special order, consideration of tho Governor's veto of A. B. 741, for the re lief of Colonel J. D.Stevenson, was called up, and Mr. Carpenter spoke in behalf of sustaining the Executive's veto. Colonel Stevenson, he said, had no legal claim against the State. The services he had rendered were not to the State, but to the Federal Government, and had been again and again rejected by it. If the Legisla ture was solicitous to aid Colonel Steven son, he (Carpenter) had a proposition to make. It would take just $22 apiece for • rich member to raise the sum named in the MIL and he would give _•_.">. If this or Kindred bills should be passed over the Governor's veto, what would become of the pledges thut Senators had made to the people? Mr. Maher advocated the passage of tin- bill over the Governor's veto. The money expended by Colonel Stevenson, he said, was for the beuetit of the State, and the latter should in honor recom pense this old citizen for his actual out lay. Mr. Dray upheld the Governor's action in vetoing the bill, as did Messrs. Ostrom and Mead. The latter moved that the matter be laid over until Saturday, and ilirit in tiie meantime some Senator pre piiie a bill in accordance with the sug gestions made in the Governor's veto message to meet the equities of tbo claim of • lolonel Stevenson. Mr. Carpenter wanted the veto message acted upon at once, and by a vote of 5 ayes to 2:1 noes tlie Senate refused to pass the bill over the Governor's veto. SMALL APPROPRIATION KILLS.

B. 62. relating to $2 being the legal pay for a day's labor on all public v. orks—whether dom* by contract or oth er-., iso—was taken up. Mr. Maher spoke briefly in behalf of the bill, claiming that 110 person should be required to labor for less than _>2 per day. He did not think the reasons ad vanced by the Kxocutive for vetoing the bill weivwcll founded. Mr. Crandall sustained the veto, and Mr. Britt opposed it. The latter claimed tliat the man who labored for less than 6*2 ■ day was no better than a slave, and his (Britt's) constituents would uphold him in voting foar the passage of the bill over the Governor's veto. Messrs. Goucher and Dray favored sus taining the Governor, and Mr. Mead op posed that course. By a vote of l> ayes to 24 noes the Sen ate refused to pass the bill over the Gov ernor's veto. s. i:.s;. relating to eight hours consti tuting a day's labor on all public work, aiso vetoed by the Governor, was next taken up.

A. 22, relative to the exemption of fruit trees and vines under five years of age from taxation, was, on motion of Mr. Shanahan. reconsidered. Tbe exemption of the young vines and tre."s was defended by Messrs. Clark, Shanahan, Gould and Matlock, all of whom believed tliat thero was an injustice in taxing the land to its full value, and then taxing the trees during their years of unproductiveness. Messrs. Cunningham, Hail, Barnard and Jackson supported tho tax, believing it to be just. Mr. Jackson offered an amendment making cattle and horses under two years old, and sheep and hogs under one year old, also exempt from taxation, and to the astonishment of everybody the amendment was adopted.

He said there had been in the last twenty four hours statements in San Francisco and Sacramento papers derogatory to his integrity. He courted the fullest investi gation. The account in the San Fran cisco Bulletin, in so far as it regarded himself, he declared to be absolutely false in every detail. Tho statement of Captain Mnrion in lho Record-Union wa.s a true statement of the -case. There was not a scrap of paper in tho possession of the Attorney-General or anywhere else— though he knew not what "General Hart hail —tbat could in any way connect his (Dibble's.) name with improper legisla tion concerning tho United States Seua torship or any other measure. He called attention to his denial now, and declared that the investigation would prove the truth of what he said. Mr. Young said that inasmuch as the House was twice as large a body as the Senate, he moved a committee of tive In stead of threo. The resolution as amended was adopted. Speaker Coombs afterward appointed Messrs. Freeman, Cram, Wentworth, Stabler and Rice as the Committee of In vestigation from the House. BALLOTING FOR SENATOR.

Mrs. Rode is Not Disqualified to Act in tho Capacity of Executrix of the Will. The dispute over the division of the estate of Joseph Bauquier of this city, who died some time ago, was settled yes terday by a decision of the Supreme Court. The case is familiar to Sacramentans. Mary C. Rode was named in the will of Joseph Bauquier as executrix without bonds, and she liled her petition for pro bate of the will in the Superior Court, and for tho issuance to her of letters testa mentary. Objections to her appointment were filed by her brothers, who woro also legatees named in the will, upon the al leged ground that in the life-time of Bau quier she, BY MEANS OF FALSEHOOD, Intimidation and undue influence, and for the purpose of pecuniary gain and to obtain an unjust portion ofthe estato, in duced her father to assign to her 31_.,5_3 88 in money and some real and personal property. This allegation was followed try a charge that she was incompetent to act as executrix for want of integrity, and that she was generally incompetent. An answer was tiled to these ob jections, and Judge Van Fleet made an order declaring that Mary Rode was incompetent to executo the duties of the trust of executrix for lack of integrity, and that she was antag onistic and hostile and asserted claims adverse to the estate. Her application to bo appointed was accordingly denied, and upon the order and a motion for a new trial the appeal was taken. THE QUESTION OF INTEGRITY. The Suprenio Court says that tho word integrity means soundness of moral prin ciple and character, and tho evidence is not such as would justify a finding that Mrs. Rode was lacking "in this regard. "We are not certain," says the court, "from the peculiar language of the find ing quoted, that the learned Judge of the court below intended to say anything moro than the adverse interests of the petitioner would prevent her from fairly, justly and properly protecting the estate, and that this is a want of integrity within the meaning of the statute. We do not think, however, that the mere fact that the appellant claims property as her own which the other legatees insist be loiij_s to the estate, would of itself, and without some reference to the honesty of her claim, show a want of integrity." _____jr____t___NoES CITED. The remaining inquiry as to whether or not the court was justified in denying Mrs. Rode's application upon the ground that she wa.s antagonistic and hostile, is answered by the Supreme Court, by quoting sections of the Code of Civil Procedure, and also decisions in similar crises of the Court of Appeals of Ken tucky, the Chancery of .Sew York and a California Suprenio Court opinion. In one of the cases, it was admitted that one of the applicants could not read, write or apeak English, and thAt she was sixtv nine years old, but the court held that these facts did not show any want of un derstanding within the statute. They might have rendered it difficult for her to perform some of tlie duties properly, yet they did not render it impossible. THE JUDGMENT REVERSED. The Supreme Court reverses Judge Van F.oft's decision, und says that while the court is authorized to refuse to appoint an executor named in a will, for want of in tegrity, yet, for manifest reasons, this power should not be exercised except upon clear and convincing evidence es tablishing such disqualifying fact. The executor may always be removed after ap pointment unless he discharges the duty of his trust faithfully, and as directed by law. EVERYBODY'S COLUMN.

Record-Union: Being a little befogged I would bo glad to gain some information. For tho past three days 1 have noticed in the extracts from various papers, and in tho telegrams, allusions to to the Italian colonies in New Orleans, San Francisco, Chicago, Xew York, etc. In the innocence of my heart I had here tofore supposed tliat onr Government had rigidly onforce.l the Monroe doctrine for the past seventy years, as it certainly did in the case of Maximilian. A part of that doctrine was that tho monarchies of Europe should plant no more colonies in America. Now, to my astonishment, I_ find that Italy has been enabled to plant' colonies in tho very heart of our country. I should like lo be informed when aiid how they were planted, and what the United States Government lias been do ing all this time. It must have been asleep. If such really be the ease, it is time the Monroe doctrine had the dust of ages brushed oil' it and was put on guard again, and Italy and all other European nations were invited politely, as Louis Napoleon was, to remove their colonies from our country.
