MIGEEFEI.SENTIKG SACSAMENTO.
The San Frandsci Argonaut of Satur
day last, in referring to the attempt to pass
■ local law in Sacramento expelling all
Chinese from the city, falls into some grave
errors which we cannot permit to page
unchallenged. We can understand how
the editor ■.;' the Argonaut may have
fallen into the 0 rani errors thai lead
him into gross misßtatements, but cannot
e\i i;~e hi- readiness to draw damaging
conclusions.
In the iii-t place, tbe proposed ecdi
nath did not paastoa lirst reading. There
is no -iich procedure known to our system.
An Ordinance may i>e presented, as was
this in question, by citizens, snd its passage
asked, i'; ; . \ , tout would be the last to
deny this privilege or iuht. The custom
i- to then lay it over a week or more for
proper consideration, except, in urgent
1 -• the ruli ::n\ bj unanimous consent,
suspended. In this case the document was .
bud on the table for one week after pre- ;
gentation by :> committee of petitioning
citizens. At the expiration of that time
it was taken up and defeated, and this oc
curred sufficiently early for the Argonaut]
to have known the fact prior to its own
date of issuance, since the news of deft at
•■■■■ ■ published in all the daily papers of
San Francisco early la.-t wick.
The Argonaut should bare had the
broadness of spirit and common justice to
state that the press of Sacramento warmly
o;.; osed ti!<- ordinance, as did the mass of
the people, and that its pa ingewasnot
seriously contemplated save by exceed
in-.; few. [nstead of this, our San Fran
cisco contemporary, by the tenor and
phrasing of its condemnation, leads
its readers to infer that the ordinance is
still pending (having "already passed it~
first reading" — as it puts it', and that
there is a probability of its final passage.
Further on in its article the Argonaut is
ted to believe (we are charitable enough to
express tbe belief that it is the result of
urisutfonaation), that in Sacramento
'■ i emu: i; tees have made domiciliary visits
from house to house, warning manufact
urers, millers, boarding-house keepers and
women to discharge their Chinamen, under
fear of arson and violence." In which last
statement there is not a work of truth-
No such tiireats have been made; not
"even rumor has given suspicious credence
to such stories. A canvass was made to
secure withdrawal of patronage from cer
tain Chinese industries in favor of compet
ing white labor, but that threats of vio
lence nuil arson accompanied such a can
vass is without foundation. On the as- 1
sumption thai its information is correct,
the Argonaut \a desirous, in its "indigna
tion," "if :: i ivii war breaks out," that it
may begin in Sacramento, since it is the
capital of the State, where the Governor
resides, "who knows how to use arms.' 1 etc.
The San Francisco paper need not con
cern itself on that -core. The need has
never arisen ktrt for an ax-handle bri
gade; nor have sw guardsmen ever been
called from tlieir homes to rest on their
arms night after night to give confidence
to fearful citizens. Sacramento has no
s:ii:rili,t lior O'Donmlls. nor dyaaautecon
spirMors, nor marching columns breathing
threatening*. fa citizens fcir neither
violence nor arson, nor do they anticipate
the necessity for the Governor returning
to bis armor, and charging through the
streets of Sacramento at the head of a
j second cavalry corps. The ArgomnU
j should compose its nerves.

OUR SCHOOL lAXD«B.
A Scheme by which tin- School Fund is
Being Defrauded.
Kns. RnoSD-UHZOB : Please to inform
me through your columns whether the sale
of State school lands does the public schools
much if any good. If so I fail to see it.
There is under my observation several in
stances in which parties have purchased
school lands and paid 20 per cent. down,
and have their own time in which to pay
the balance by paying a very low rate of in
terest per annum. The parties referred to
go right to work and cut and haul the tim
ber all away, and if they are lucky enough :
to get the timber all cut and hauled aw.iv
m one year, erf course they have to pay but
JO per cent, down ami one year's Interest
am they have got all they want of the land
ami never pay anything more on it. They
have got all the value of the land cut and
hauled oil ; theri how >'.o our public schools !
recem much benefit from those lands.' Is
that the law which controls those lands"
11 so. it ifl ■ very unjust law. In my (mill
ion the purchaser should not be allowed to
cutthe timber and haul it away until the
last dollar 13 paid down for it. 1 think
that this is only practiced by parties pur
chasing those lands, became they are not
molested in so doing, or does the "law oi -
hold that kind of a stealing scheme?
I lease inform n:e through your columns
and oblige, yours truly. \\\
Nevada City. January is, ls«;.
Surveyor-General Willey, being interro
gated by a Ricokd-Uwiok representative
concerning the alleged practice says: "Of
course, the State school fund receives the
moneys paid for all school lands, ami the
interest derived from the investment of
such moneys is apportioned and used for
the rcaiutenance of the public schools,
ot the .Suite. But tiie evil of which your
correspondent complains Ims indeed been
a great one, many thousands of acres of the
Choicest timber-land of the State having
been despoiled 01" their valuable product, I
the applicants only having paid 20 i>er
cent ot ;!;:■ purchase money therefor. Un
fortunately the laws of the' State were Bucb
aa to permit oi Ibis great wrong. When :.
person holds a certificate of purchase
(which v issued apon the approval of an
application and payment of the 20 per
cent.) he has the prima facie evidence .if
title, and the consequent right to sell, assign
or convey his title to the bod or its products
to any one.
"All Acts of the Legislature oi this State
providing for the sale oi State school la-mls
should have provided for the payment in
lull "I the purchase money paid for timber
lands, upon the issuance "i a certificate of j
purchase, and the price per acre Bhould
have been twice or four times what it is,
and has i,. en. But it was not until March
LB, 1885, when she Legislature passed what
was known as the ' Uritt bill, 1 that payment
in full was required, the price per acre re
maining £1 25.
"Occasionally it is reported that persons
who have merely Bled an application for
school lands are engaged in stripping them
oi their timber. It is the duty of any one
discovering this vandalism to report the
transgressor to the District Attorney of the
count* in which the land is situated, and
the duty of said attorney to proceed
against the van. la!, as provided in the Act
of March l' 7. L 863, as follows:
''Bkctiow !. Any person or penona who than

" Relative to the sale of timber lands,
permit me to Btate that it wotiW be. a wise

Anti-Chinese Meeting at Lincoln.
Em. Ra'im.-IMov ; Friday night, Jan
uary 23d, witnessed one of the largest and
liveliest public nieetinir- ever held in the
town of Lincoln. Karnest and determined
men were there, who had sworn to do their
atarat toward ridding this community and
State of the alien intruders with a- little
delay a* pos-ible, and they swept every
thing before th >m like chail before the
wind. •
It being the time «et for permanent or
ganization, much xood-natured rivalry pre- I
vaile<l. The meeting was called to order
■boot 8 o'clock by K. Hill, President pro ;
tern. There were ru candidates f..r the i
office of President of the organization, viz :
Messrs. Aldrich, Kennedy, Saunder. Hill.
Fuller and Matthew^. Mr. Aldrich re
ceived a majority of one vote over all other j
candidates, and was then unanimously \
proclaimed President of the organization. !
Sir. Kennedy, bavins given Mr. Aldrich a '
dose nib. was unanimously elected Vice-!
President. Philip Dippel, Jr., was elected |
Secretary by acclamatiou. as were also Peter
I Owens, Treasurer, and Jack Jones. Assist
j ant Secretary.
The committee on resolutions reported a
! preamble and set of resolutions, which
were placed in order for adoption, and
then the fur began to fly. The merchants
and a few others desired an extension of
time from thirty to sixty days in order to
dispose of a surplus of Chinese goods. The
resolutions provide thai everybody -hail
sign a pledge never to have any dealings
whatever with the Chinese in the United
States, either directly or indirectly, after
thirty days from date of meeting." and to
boycott all who refuse to ti-n.
Messrs. Aldrich, DippeL Butterfield,
Harper, Bern-, Sullivan, Howard, Jones
1 Kennedy, Fowler, Saunders and Hotchkiss
took part in the contest, which for a time
was extremely belligerent. However, the
motion to extend the time was lost, and in
pursuance of the resolution the President
was instructed to appoint a committee of
live to obtain the signatures to the pledge
of every necessary party. The following
persons were appointed: E. Hill. V. Mui
luran, F. H. Fowler, C. C. Saunder and
\\ ldiam Sparks. A hundred men then
rushed forward and signed the pledge to a
man. The meeting adjourned until Satur

Our Oranse (iroves.
California Spirit of the Times.]
Had any one indicated in K~)i> (when we
first landed in Sacramento) either by voice
or pen, that such a scene as that presented
to view in that city on Tuesday last in the
magnificent citrus display gathered there,
wouid have ever become a « ality, he would
have been looked upon as one demented.
In 1850, and for years thereafter, the race
was for the possession of that which could
purchase Bruit already gathered in other
climes, not that wealth which could be se
cured by its care and growth upon our <iwn
soil, (i.iiil was the objective point, not the
golden orange, the richly coated lemon, the
emerald skinned lime, or the palatable olive.
Flora, Pomona and Ceres, had no resting
place in the minds of men. But as
I the yellow grains, sometimes ac
companied by thunderbolts oi the
precious metal, fell in copious showers, and
to all appearance, never ceasing and to
be unending, there was but little thoo bl
of the mono*. As time wore on, however,
the golden showers became less frequent
and with diminished force, until they al
most ceased. And then men paid more
attention to that other Bource of susten
ance and profit, that great back-bone of the
world, upon which everything else depends
for the tenure of life; upon' which every
part of the human frame rests, and from
9 bich it draws the inspiration of its exist
ence—agriculture. And in g«od time, those
J who were attendants in the train, took
their places at the front, and the three
graces, beautiful as the earth from which
they sprang, forever after, aa Flora. Po
mona and Ceres, in one garland entwined
formed the great destiny of California.
As we said at the opening oi this, the
exhibition at Sacramento, during the
week, was a wonderful one. and well
worthy the inspection of every citizen of
California, taking an interest in its progress
and development. This exhibition goes to
prove that the productiveness of the Btate
is not local in its character, but that its
prolific qualities are only bounded by its
confines. It is. indeed, a wonderfully fruit
ful land, and the representation gathered
at this fair from Bonoma, Placer, Butter,
Butte, Tcbama, Shasta, Colnsa, Yolo Bc
lano, Napa. Yuba, El Dorado. Amador,
Galaveras and Sacramento, uin proof. It
is in reality a land Of yellow grain, of the
olive and fig-tree, a land over-flowing with
milk and honey, a land, where, as one of
oisr own poets has said :
I Tlio vine and tl.y fig-tree are laden with fruit
Who re the breezes Wow silt us the tunes of a
hm\
The orange tree blossoms and units in the vale
Hie dates and pomegranate mid sand and the

The fllbert and almond ami manna of yore
AH hlmiuinl in the land we iove and adoi
Trade and commerce, after all, are not
the great interests of a country— do not
form the Bole support of a people or a na
tion. That support is the earth, embraced
under the name of the three graa -. : .
which we made reference above. By the
products of the earth the bulk of the peo
ple live, ami are fed and clothed. And
therefore it is, the earth should never be
neglected. It is, indeed, or.r mother; it
gives us sustenance, life, health, vigor
manhood, prosperity and success. The
great northern belt of couniies of California
have recognized this tact, and by their care,
attention, nourishment and devotion have
obtained from her a response whose kindly
tones and richness of language will per
m< lie our frtat domain, and be heard in
gratifying cadence throughout the world's
broad expanse. The northern counties
of California, with Sacramento a> their
commercial center, have done a great
service to the entire State— a Service that
will be as gem ions in the interests of Los
Angeles as of Sacramento. You cannot
benefit this State in any part, from Siaki
you to San Diego, or from the Sierras to
the sea. without it being participated in by
inverse ratio by every part of the State.
Though a voter by residence of San Fran
cisco, we claim to be a citizen of the entire
.State, in our interest, in its development:
and we could not have felt a warmer glow
of satisfaction at the magnificent display
that calls forth this, had we been a resi
dence of Sacramento, or of any of the other
counties participating. We do not know to
whom the particular credit is due for the
organization, holding and great success of
the citrus fair at Sacramento, but to those
entitled to it, we say they have done an
admirable work for California.
A Stray Ownership.
The Bee is pre-eminently a new-paper.

the State, it proposes to have it. Yesterday

the subject, and our highly esteemed con
temporary diwmlfmnd the important matter

A Family messing.
Wotting adds more to the security of life, of
happiness and of hearth than a safe mid reli
able family medicine. Simmons Liver Regu
lator has won for itseif the appellation of " the
favorite home remedy." It is adapted to a large
proportion of the emergencies which occur in
domestic life. If the child has the colic, it is a
sure, safe and pleasant remedy. If the father
is exhausted, overworked, debilitated, it will re
store his failing strength. If the wife suffers
from dyspepsia, low spirit*, headache, it will
give relief. If any member of the family has
eaten anything hdrd of digestion, a small dose
of the Regulator will soon establish a good di
gestion. It gives refreshing sleep even iv cases
where narcotics have failed. It is the best pre
ventive medici'ie, and tafe to begin with, no
matter what the attack: and in almost every
case will afford relief and effect a speedy cure,
without the aid of other medicine. No error to
be feared :u administering; no injury from ex
posure afttr taking; no change of diet required;
no change of habits; no neglect of duties or loss
of time. Simmons I.iver Regulator is entirely
vegetable, and is the punst and best family
medicine compounded. Prepared by J. H
