I  REMEMBER.
I reoi nnber. f remember,
When I first began to creep,
HoivT crawled straight into mischief—
i.iivv i wouldo'i go to Bleep-
How 1 palled the table linen,
With the contents on the ¡loor—-
How mother spanked me for it,
Till my tender flesh was sore.
I remember, I remember.
Wheal first began to talk,
And also well remember.
Too, the day 1 tried to walk ; «•
Firm 1 grasped old Jowler's collar,
But he gave a sudden hop,—
So into a pan of water
Jowler spilt the child "ker-sIor¿."
I remember, I remember,
When I used to so to school,
How I kept a watchful eye on
The schoolmaster's rod and rule ;
How .1 cut up monkey shines
Fiery time his back was turned-
How I sometimes used to catch it
When I'd not my lesson learned,
I remember. I remember,
When I went a hooking peaches,
How a dog came out and caught me
By lite surplus of my breeches ;
How I hung on to the bushes»—
How the dog hung fast to me,
Till my crying;* brought a man who
Flogged me most orful-LE.

THE EXPECTED GREAT COMET.
The eminent astronomer, M. Babinet, member of
the Academy of Sciences', gives in the French
journal.- seme vsvy interesting details relative to
thereturnol that great comet whose periodical
coarse is computed by the most- celebrated observ-
era at three hundred years. Our cyclical records
BflOw that it was observed in the years 104, 392.
632, 975—again in 12(31, and the next time in 1566 j
-—always described as shining with the most extraordinary brilliancy.
Most of the European astronomers had agreed in
announcing the return of this comet in 1848 ; hut
it has hitherto failed to appear. In fact, it is not
so easy or simple a matter to compute those vast
cyclical periods as some superficial persons—who
do not look beyond the day of the year in which
they live—may imagine. We are however assured
by M. Babinet that, up to this moment, this beautiful star ■" la.iiving cm its brilliant reputaban '—
so that Sir John Herschell himself was wrong when
he despaired of its re-appearance, and put crapeon
bis telescope! Wo are now informed that a cele-
brated and accurate computer, M. Bomme, of Mid-
dleburgh, with a patience and devotedncss truly
German, has gone over all the previous calculations, and made anew estimate cf the separate and
combined action of all the planets upon this comet,
of three hundred years ; aud he has discovered that
it is not lost to us, but only retarded in its motion.
The result of this severe labor gives the arrival
of this ruffe and renowned visitor in August, 16,58,
with an uncertainty of two years, more or less ; so
that, between 1856 and 1860, those who are then
living, may hope to see the great luminary which.
in loóü. caused Charles Y. to abdicate. Those who
combine the occurrence of great events with the
appearance of great comets—(as in 1814-15) ought
to bear in mind that the Emperor Charles at that
particular time was dejected by great reverses.
Thereeult ofthe seige ol'Metz, the defeat of Benty.
the humiliation of the treaty of-Passaw, the coup
bination of all these calamities drew from that
monarch the despairing cry, " fortune abandonsthe
old !" The appearance ofthe flaming meteor just
then, seemed to his superstitous mind a direct message from heaven ; and lie abdicated the throne to
save his life ! It is well known how short a time
he survived in his monastic retirement,
_ No doubt there is some analogy between those
times and the present: aud we believe there are
few persons who will venter to place them in the
chapter of •'' coincidences." Probably, Charl
might have lived longer had his superstition taken
a better turn, by which, in retaining power, he
might have directed his ambition to a more noble
end. ffe know of no better application oí the appearance of comets than to point such a moral; and
we are disposed to believe that even theologians
will be at a loss to find a higher interpretation of
the celestial phenomena.—[Church Herald.

INDESTRUCTIBILITY.
We can alter the combinations and form of matter, but we can iu no way destroy it; and though
we may a'ail ourselves of its properties, in order
to obtain an enormous force to do our bidding,
and so make ourselves independent of wind and
tide, and even anticipate the flight of time, we can
create no new property.
" One of the most obvious cases/' says Sir J.
Herschell, " of apparent destruction is. when anything is ground to dust and scattered to the winds.
But it is one thing to grind a fabric to powder, aud
another to annihilate its materials : scattered as
they may be, they must fall somewhere, and continue, if only as ingredients ofthe soil, to perform
their humble but useful part in the economy of na-
ture._ The destruction produced by fire is moré
striking. In many cases, as in the burning of a
piece ot charcoal or a taper, there is no smoke—
nothingvisiblydissipated and carried away; the
burning body wastes and disappears, while nothing
seems to be produced but warmth aud light, which
we are not in the habit of considering as substances ; and when all lias disappeared, except perhaps
some trifling ashes, we naturally enough suppose
it is gone, lost, destroyed. But- when the question
is examined more exactly, we detect, in the invisible stream of heated air which ascends from the
glowing coal or flaming wax. the whole ponderous
matter only united in a new combination with the
air, and dissolved in. it. Yet, so far from being
«thereby destroyed, it is only become again what it
was before it existed in the form of charcoal or wax
—an active agent in the business ofthe world, and
a main support of vsgc.ia.-lc and animal lift'and
is still susceptible of running again and again fho
same round, as circumstances may determine ; so
that, for aught we can see to the contrary, the same
identical atom may lie concealed for a thousand of
centuries in a limestone rock; may at length be
quarried, set treo in the limekilns, mix with the air,
be absorbed from it by plants, aud in succession
become a part of the frames of mvrlafls of living
beings, till some concurrence of events consign it
once more to a long repose, which, however, no
way unfits it from again resuming its former activity."—[Scientific American.

. . A FRENCH STORY.
The Salut Public of Lyons has the following :—
Three gentlemen, who, though dressed in plain
. clothes, were evidently from their martial aspect.
and from the red ribbon at their button holes officers of the army, a few weeks ago walking in!
the Jardín des Fiantes. A poor woman wife two
children begged alms of them. Two of them immediately gave her some money ; the third felt in
JÚ9 pockets but found, to his regret, that he had
forgotten his purse. A little further on, the three
gentlemen were again solicited tor turns, the beggar being a little boy aged about nine, and as an
inducement to them to give, the boy began turning
head-over-heels before them. "The little fellow
gives me a good idea," cried the officer who had
forgotten his purse, '• I will bet you twenty¿ancs
tliat I turn.head-over-heels as well as he d(M;'—
:; Xhe ¿ning is worth seci-g - said the otncr^twc
«• and we take the bet." immediately the author
of tho proposition proceeded with all the ability of
a, boy, to execute the feat—and when he had done
it, ho extended his hand for the money. On receiving payment ofthe twenty franc.", lie immediately gave them to the poor woman. Some persons who wore present, complimented tho oilicer
both on Ins generosity aud skill. <;Poh!" replied
ho, " there is not a soldier in tho French army who
would not on such an occasion be delighted.lo exercise the gymmwtlo skill he may have"acquired in
tuB regiment.-' *

and coiil'usion worse couul'oundcd, making it quite
impOBSffele to get a correct idea of how the finale
found the business of the country. The last forty-
eight hours have been spent in unremitting efforts
to mature and pass the annual appropriation bills.
All of these are saved, although some of them
wore near being lost. The Ocean Mail Steamer
Appropriation Bill passed the Senate a few days
ago, precisely as it left the House. This, it mil
be remembered, continued the appropriation ofthe
hist two years to the Collins Line, repealed the
power of Congress fo discontinue any part of tins
impropriation for the remaining time tiie contract
has to run, and provided that Mr. Collins should
build another steamer, of greatly increased size
and power, to put upon the line.
President pierce, however, didn't approve of
Gtrugreaa repealing a power which it had retained
for the operation of its own discretion; and so
he vetoed the bill. This created a storm of indignation, and the President is denounced in no
measured terms. The Veto came in yesterday
morning. For an hour or two after its reception,
it seemed as though Congress must break up in
a row, and leave its business to be finished by an
extra session. The friends of tlie Collins line soon
gave notice to the Administration men that all She
appropriation bills should be defeated, without
regard to consequences. But, about three o'clock
this morning, finding they had not strength sufficient, to enable them to ride rough-shod over the
will ofthe majority ofthe House, the Administration men came to terms and agreed to have the
Steamer Appropriation Bill tacked to the Naval
Appropriation Bill, in a shape which should neither repeal the power of Congress to give the
11 notice," as it ie called, nor give the notice now,
nor compel the Collins Company to. build the pro-
posed new and mamim-th ship ; and in this shape
the birl was passed, and was signed only a few
minutes before the adjournment.
Tlie Pacific Railroad bill failed at last, in the
House, for want of sufficient energy and tact on
the part of those who had it in charge. Mr. Disney, of Ohio, was relied upon to bring it up j and
there has been no time during the last week, when,
if the Senate bill had been once taken up, it could
not have passed. But Disney failed to get the
floor for the purpose of moving a bill from the
Committee on Public Lands, to which it was proposed to tack the Pacific, and* so the opportunity
was lost. Had a Northern Anti-Nebraska man
moved it instead, the bill could iiave passed, by aid
of ft combination, which was then ready to form,
and which would have controlled a decided majority of the House. That golden opportunity lost,
and. as it now turns out. tbo loss of the Shanghai
Mail Steamer bill also failed, which, by the way,
the President would be quite sure to veto if it had
passed. The House, a day or two since, took up
the Senate bill, to establish a Circuit Court of the
United States in and for tho State of California:
when it was read three times and passed. M. II. Ma
Allister, of San I'rancisco, was nominated and
confirmed as Judge of this Court.
Mr. Vineyard, of Sacramento county, has been
confirmed as one ol the new Indian Agent.3 in
California. B. A. Stevenson, of El Dorado county,
and Bhinton McAlpin were nominated by the President for the Ibther two agencies,- but were fiercely
opposed, and the nominations were laid over iu
consequence without action.
The Board of Army Officers in the Fremont Bat
I talions Claims, instead being extended aud sent to
California on recommendation of a Committee of
Conference of the two Houses of Congress, has
been abolished altogether.
The following. I believe, are the principal appropriations made for California, but there are
some others, the particulars of which I do not now
call to mind :
For Fortifications, about Í500.00Q
For Survey, about   500.00U
For Indian" Service, about    300\000
For Navy Yard, Custom Houses, itc    500,000
For California Land Commission    200,000
The bill to increase the army to the extent of
two regiments of infantry and two of cavalry, and
providing for the appointment of an additional
Brigadier General has passed both branches. It is
generally understood that Gen. Shields will be
nominated Brigadier General, although no nomination was made before adjournment. By a late
amendment, authority was given to the President
to appoint officers of the new regiments daring
the recess of the Senate. Lieut. Col. E. V. Sumner has been appointed Colonel ofthe 1st of the
two now regiments of cavalry. Capt. B. D. Fry,
of Sacramento : Frank Sliaelier, of San Fr mcisco j
George Stoneman. of Bcnicia ; Charles T. Sprague,
Ex-Governor John McDougall, and several others,
have been recommended for commission in the
new regiments. Dr. Wake Briarly has also been
recommended for a Surgeon's warrant.
An amendment to the Post Office appropriation
bill, gives toBlanehnrd & Co., of California, heavy
damages for the violation by the Post Master Gen-
*eral, of their Salt Lake mail eontract.
Mr. Benton procured an amendment to the Post
Route bill, making provision for a regular mail
from Independence, Mo., to Sacramento via Salt-
Lake, to be open to the lowest bidders, with rights
of preemption to lauds necessary for stations, etc.
An amendment was also made to the Post Office
appropriation bill in the Senate, authorizing the
Post Master General to contract for and put into
operation a semi-monthly mail by sea from San
Francisco to oertaiti points inCalifbrnia and Washington and Oregon Territories, the cost of the service not to exceed $120.000 per annum. I think
this was Concurred in by the House, but am not

The Old Soldiers' bounty huid bill has become a
law in a much modified shape. The bill gives ICO
acres to every person serving in our wars not less
than fourteen days since 1700, as well as to those
who were engaged in actual battle fora less period
—the widows arid minor children to receive the
benefit in case ot the death of the person so entitled. The benefits of the act are extended also to
the widows of the officers and soldiers of the revolution, and to some others.
Tiie tariff project, tacked on to the civil and diplomatic bill iu the House, was stricken out by the
Senate, at the instance of its friends, as the " protectionists avowed their intentions to discuss it
until the hour of adjournment—thus killing the
bill.
On the afternoon of February 26, Col. Thomas n.
Benton's house, with all his book?, papers, wardrobe
ofhis family, and most ofthe furniture was destroyed by fire. "About half past two o'clock, while the
Col. was in his place in the House, smoke was observed issuing from the office or study in the second
story, and upon opening the door, it was found that
the room was filled with smoke and flame. Col.
Benton arrived in a short time after, and his first
question to his youngest daughter was as to the
Bafety of his books and papers. "We have saved
nothing but ourselves, father ; your books aud papers are lost." ''Then let tlie house burn on." repite d he calmly. The cause of the conflagration
was a defective chimney. _ Atrongst his valuable
papers lost were manuscrpits ofhis second volumn
of "Thirty years in the Senate," and many original
letters Intended for his work, from the earlier Presidents and statesmen. When asked if his house was
insured, the Colonel replied : "No. it was not insured ; but I care nothing about that. Insurance
could not have saved all that I considered valua-
bie-^tíie bed on which my wife died, on which I
sleep ; her clothes, which were in a trunk sitting
at the head of it; the articles which she prized
mesf around it—the last things I ¡saw at night., and
the first in the morning—and the papers in the adjoining room, many of which cannot be supplied.
But what I shall most feel, more than I now do, will
be the loss ofthe memorials of my wife, whose bodv.
still above ground, it will be my first care to remove to St. Louis y,-]u:ri released from Congress, to
be buried in the place in which I had collected the
remain- of my dead—my mother, children, grandchildren, sister—to take the place by their side
which she and! had marked out for ourselves."
Alter Col. Benton had placedlos family comfortably wife his neighbors, he falfiled eta engagement
he had made to (Boner with a friend; and at half-
past ten In the evening, he sat down to re-w:ite for
the next morning's Globe the speech he had made
in the House the day before, on the presentation of
General Jackson's sword to Congress, which was
burned on bis desk.
Hon. Pierre Soule, ex-Mintster to Spain, arrived
hero on the evening ofthe 2d. and was on the floor
ofthe Senate next day. Be is quite a lion, especially among tlm filibusters. Air. Sotilesjieaks quite
freely in regard to his Madrid mission, audits complete failure in all its pn.rts_j*nd is not very tender
on the Administration, attributing to its backing
down his ill-success. He considers Ghfi acquisition
of Cuba through the medium of diplomacy altogether out ofthe aucstion.
Gen. Quitman arrived here a day or two since—
his mission being, it is understood, to sound the
Administration upon the policy of OUT government
in case the present flurry with Cuba should assume
the shape of'a revolution, anil in cuse the English
and French fleets should render active assistance
in putting it down. It is known that thcc>..innm;.-
ders of both fleets have already placed their vessels
at the service of Concha to transport troops to threatened points on the Island.
George Law has addressed a letter to Henry" K.
Strong, Speaker ofthe Pennsylvania House ofEep-
resentatives, in answer to the legislative letter on
the Presidential question, asking his views in regard to measures and filings in general, and Know
Ñotlimgism m particular. It is understood that
Mr. Law pitches into both Whig and Democratic
parties with a vengeance, and that he lays down a
broad and comprehensive Know Nothing phitform.
It is probable this steamer will take you out Mr.
Law's bid for tlie Presidential job. If George Ltiw
should get the Know Nothing nomination, filibustering will be looking up.
The President sent into the Senate on the 22dof
February the nomination of General Scott to be
Lieutenant General, in the following words : "General Winfield Scott, of the Army of the United
States, to be Lieutenant General by brevet in the
same, for eminent services in the late war with
Mexico, to take rank as such from March 29, 1817.
the day on which the United States forces under
his command captured Vera Cruz and the Castle
of San Juan de Ulloa." The nominaticn was not
acted upon until a week later, as there happened to
be no Executive session until about the 2ath, when
it was unanimously confirmed.
The bill to regulate the carriage of passengers
in steamships and other vessels, passed the House
unanimously. The first section provides that "no
master shall take on board more than one passenger to each two tons of burthen of his vessel, not
reckoning children under one year, and counting
two children.between one and eight years, as one
passenger. The second section prescribes the cubic space in the ship to be assigned for each-passenger, to-wit: sixteen square feet of deck on the
upper deck, and on the lower deck eighteen superficial feet. Far the violation of these provisions,
the master of the ship is to be subject to a fine of
fifty dollars for each passenger in excess of the b
gal number, and may be imprisoned, at tbe discre
tion of the Judge before whom tlie penalty shall
be recovered. Further provisions are made for ventilating the ships, for the supply of food, bedding
medicine, for the tuaintainance of cleanliness, discipline and good order." Ail food for passengers
must be served out to them cooked, by this bill.
The owners of emigrant ships are also held responsible for the forfeit of $10 for each passenger over
S years of age, who dies on board of diseases.
A bill came from the House of Representatives
fixing the salarv of the Judge ot the United States
Circuit Court of California at S4.5G0. To this, Senator Weller objected, as by a "bill previously passed
the salaries of the incumbents ofthe Supreme Court
had been fixed at $7.500 for the Chief, and S7000
each for the Associate Justices. Mr. Weller asked
that the salary of the Circuit Judge of the Circuit
of California should be made equal to that of a Justice of the Supreme Court. The matter went to a
Committee of Conference from both Houses, and resulted iu fixing tho salary of the Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court at $6,500,thoseof the Associate
Justices thereof at $6,000, and tho California Circuit Judge at the latter sum.
In the House of Representatives on Thursday
last, Mr. McDoogall moved as an amendment to
the Epst Offilcc bill a proviso for a Daily Bxpress
Mail from St. Louis to San Francisco. This was
voted down by a large majority. When tho bill
came to tlie Senate, Senator Weller stated that he
intended to move it as an amendment to the Post
Office bill there, but considering that so large
majority in the House went against it, and the
probability that the bill itself might be defeated if
this were passed, he would waive the project:
whereupon, Senator Gwin moved his Weekly Mail
proposition. This was voted down—Mr. Weller
voting for it. remarking, however, that at such a
late period of this session, and under such circumstances, it should not have been presented. This
leaves the California Mail project as it steed at the
commencement of the session.-
Notwithstanding the fact that the Superintendent of Indian Affairs had suspended $200,000 of
the claims of Bcale, the former Superintendent,
the Second Auditor of tiie Treasury has passed all
Beale's accounts, awarding what he claims. The
Board organized to pass upon the claim of Col.
Fremont has been abolished, after consideration
by two conference committees. Senator Weller
was on both thc.se Boards, aud done all ho could
to prevent such a result.
We should have stated among our list of appropriations that $30,000 thereof is for the. purchase
of Camels and Dromedaries for the use of the
Army upon the Plains. Independent.
THE JEWS.
The following letter of Mr. Labatt to Mr. Speaker Siowe, we take from the Times a?id Transcript:
Mr. Speaker Stowe :—-With much astonishment
I perused in the Sacramento journals, what purports to be a report of the proceedings of the Legislature and certain remarks of yourself and other
leading men ofthe loner House, relative to the
Jews of this State, ¡n the discussion ef the Sunday
Trading Bill, The Jews in San Francisco are in
favor of a Sunday Bill.
Perhaps, sir, you are a medium, and the English
House of Lords, in the migratory spirit of rappers,
visited you. If so, more is the pity that they only
communicated their opinions on the " Jewish Disability" feeling, aud left you tranquil in the free
enjoyment of your profound ignorance, and the
false knowledge of facts aud recreant regard of
truth.
Mr. Buffum shall receive the warm gratitude of
my co-religionists for the course he has taken in
this matter.
Mr. Speaker : occupying the position you do as
the head of the House of Representatives, y
should be loath to disgrace our Legislature aud our
State by flagrant and malicious falsehood, for to
say you are ignorant of the real facts and open
truths, would b* to insult the body which elected
you their speaker, although you are an ignorant
man, nevertheless, to assert and advocate muasures
which are directly opposed to the wishes of your
co'istitu-eni.-.
You say, " they come here to make money, and
leave as soon ■*- this cioe'-.i is "fleeted.'' This"bearf»
upon its face unwarrantable falsity. Are you ignorant of the number of families arriving every
steamer, and of Jewish faith, to make California
their home? Are you ignorant of the briclt synagogues erecting in our large cities for family worship ? Are you ignorant of the permanent benevolent societies, which extend the hand of charity to
their bereaved brethren, and relieve the Stftte,
county aud city of taxes foralmshouses, hospitals,
asylums, Arc? If you are ignorant of the* facts,
then you are basely ignorant; if not, you havx'
rossly misrepresented facts, and you are a dis-
race to the House over which you have the dis-
robOX to preside. You may choose between this
dilemma.
You say " they do not invest their money in the
country, nor erect any fines tores." This is ¡umtiier
equally great falseh'ooel.   Examine the tax book*
of any comity in the State and thei names of Jews
are found thick upon their pages,
I will produce twenty names of Jewish citizens
of my COQOty who pay taxes on over two millions
of properly.
This fact you know, and have misrepresented to
the injury of a tatge body of respectable citizens,
or else you were grossly ígnf*r»nt of important
facts, connected with your positional! ,'.-,' ■■■■
tiie Soaso, which constitutes you nnworihy ofyooi
positjon.
Mr. Speaker : you would prohibit their residence
here.    How have they harmed you at all and in
wind respect.
Have tbe Jews squatted upon your lands?   If so,
I have yet to learn who ; the Jews aré not squatters.
Have they built grog shops-to poisen the peo- i
pie?    Surely not; the Jews arc not rumseiiers.—
Have: they liUed your jails or taxed the State
With criminal trials!     Surely  not: they  are not
robbers, mordí rare, or leading politicians.
Bare their females prostituted the morals of
young men ? Surely not ; they arc noted i r '■'■■■
virtue of their mothers and the chastity of their
daii£-iitcrs.
Yet I claim no superiority for this unfortunate
people j but I do claim Mr. Speaker Stowe. that
they are good citizen-, and better than you ; and
that they would scorn to vilify the Gentiles as yon
have grossly and falsely villiticd them, knowing it
to be false.
Then why cry out against them? Thev-'s Ibe
rub! They are numerous, but not of the right
stripe. Unfortunately, they are too wise to be ignorant, and know nothing, of their lights. Speatt*
er Stowe, you are sound on that question. Whoever has a heart to think for himself, and a voice to
speak and cry out against Ihe evil influence ofthat
part; which would undermine all religions boi
that of Quaker-hanging Puritanism, must, be taxed
so as to prohibit their residence among your numbers.
You cannot convince them of the great evil they
inherited from their mother because she was not on
American soil at tbe hour of their birth, or because
they are not of Puritan religion, nor can you
ameliorate (heir condition; therefore they must
be exterminated.
Pray on whom will you commence ? In^he Supreme'Court, where sits ou the bench of three
Judges,'one Jew? What tax will you place op fliat
bench to exclude the Jew? What will you do in
the Halls of Legislature, our public offices, l .■-.- bar
and medical Irate imity ? Surely Jews fill, or have
filled these positions in our State, and Without the
like disgrace and profound ignorance thnt hovers-
over yourself. Every trade, profession or employment, (éxeept begging, aud there are no Jew be.<(-
o-ars,) has been filled honorably by Jews.
- But it is not, Speaker Stowe, upen the basis of
the Bible aud Sunday laws. The former belongs
to the Jcvr and God gave it him. It is not tho
Christian's Bible alone, and 'lie Bible ¡s silent upou
Sunday. Saturday is the Sabbath of the Bible.
But this question I leave to divines, as you Speaker
Slowc, in your profound ignorance aud falsehood
could not comprehend the argument, or would
vilify the facts in the Bible Bcaroely less palpable
than those you have denied in your statement in
that House you have disgraced.
It is well'Speaker Stowe, you have shown tin-
colors of your order. Many Jews heve slumbered
in ignorance of the fact that when tluy know
nothing, their religion and their people are in danger. It is well your ignorance has opened their
eyes, and your falsehood has given them- inspiration that arouses them to a knowledge ofrhe troth.
A large and numeróos body of voters df this
State will rcmonvber these facts, and I trust every
Jew will bear it in mind many a long day. for you
cannot expel them from this State. For myself I
shall use every endeavor to keep it before them.
I am yours, firm ia Judaism,

We have been requested by several ofour citizens,
to publish the remarks ot Mr. Speaker Slowe and
others on the bill enforcing the closing of the stores
in Santa Cruz aud Santa Clara counties. The excitement in San Francisco and Sacramento among
this large and worthy class ofour cit;/.ens hüsbeeii
intense. Meetings have been held, and strong resolutions cf censure passed, charging Mr, Stowe as
¡gncvautly or wilfully misrepresenting them net
only without any foundation, but with bigoted prejudice and falsehood.
SUNDAY LAW.
The bill to enforce the closing of stores In tho
counties of Santa Crttz and Santaclara onSui.day,
was taken up.
Mr. Watkins objected to the bill on the ground
that it interfered with the consciences of nren ; Hebrews would be compelled to close two days of the
week and not only to them, but there were many
good sad consoi ¡ntioos christians, who held Saturday as the true Sabbath, aod observe it as such;
these men too would be compelled to close two day*
iu the week.
Mr. Stowe of Santa Cruz had no sympathy with
the Jews; he would like to legislate them if he
could, not only out of his county, but out of the
State.' He was in favor of putting so high a tax or
license upon the Jews, as to amount to a prohibition of their business. He, Mr. Stowe,believed thai
the christian religion, aud tbe christian Sabbath,
laid at the bottom of republican institutions; Mr.
Stowe said that every merchant in his county except one, closed their stores on Sunday, and that
one compelled them to again keep them open.
Mr. Buffum thought that if such was the case the
bill was an act to protect certain traders, and nut
to protect a religion. He, Mr. Buffum, was aston-
islted at Mr. Steve's position against the Jews ; ío
San Francisco many of the most worthy citizens
were Jews.
Mr. Stowe replied that every Jewish merchant
in his county had signed the petition; the store
kept open was owned by professed christians.
Mr. Coombs of Napa moved to add the county of
Napa to the bill.    Adopted.
Mr. Ryland believed that the bill wonid be very
popular in Santa Clara ; it would close all grog
shops and tippling bouses, and mercantile bouses
ou Sunday, but would not interfere with the sale
of provisions by hotels and restaurants.
Mr. Smith of Marin was in favor of closing all
grog shops. &o., but not stores, &c; but be was -in
tavor of preventing the sata afUqróí nc-i only on
Suiulav. bul evcrv "other day of the week.
Mr. Job:.son ol El Dorado moved to insert El
Dorado in the bill.    Adopted.
Mr. Burke of Mariposa supported the bill; he
thought it was tbe duty of the Legislature to lead,
and not fellow public opinion,   He/woultl like to
