i.l.'. but all of minor importance. SenatorCross made a lengthy speech upon the subject.He wished the bill to be amended bothat people who have appropriated water andput ii to a beneficial use, should not have iitaken from them and scattered broadcast overthe land. There was and must be some owner-ship in water. There should be some propertyrights in water that should be respected. Thereniiist hi' a .-..\u25a0 tiled right to water somewhere. Hesaid there was not a Senator on the floor whowould not agree that an individual who hadappropriated water for a beneficial purpose,ll,at appropriation was hi- property. iThe firstwho acquired possession of wateracquired own-ership, and should be protected inhis owner-ship us much as he is in tire ownership of land.The nerviest, pluckiest, hardiest and most ven-turesome people in the world came toCaliforniain tin pioneer days and settled in what arc thenow much abused miningcounties of the State.'!!,\u25a0> located iln-ir claims, appropriatfd thestreams, the first locator acquired a title thatlias ever since remained undisputed.

{T>n the simple question as to whether or net I.»sAngeles shall be represented in the Senate byMr.Hazard. The repeal ofthe present law wasasked so that good order may prevail IB theflection and seating of memken of the nextLegislature. The Constitution says that theterms of Senators shall be four vein*, and it isnot in the province of this Legislature, nor wasitin tne province of the last one, to alter thattime. The Legislature of 1853 made a mistake,inthe opinions ofa large number of the leadinglawyers of the SMte, who were consulted in re-gard to the matter, but oneof those so consultedhaving taken a dineient view of the question.The Democrats, who were responsible for theblunder, saw their mistake, and went beforethe Supreme Court, which nullified Uk ixßStionand ordered the election of Senators from theodd-numbered districts in1881. If the iresentlaw bo retained, those Senators elected fromthe odd-numbered districts next y:-ar willbedemanding admission to the next Legislature.What will be the result? If the Executiveshould call an election for tortj Senators,twenty ofthe seats willbe contested by the Sen-ators elected lust year. It the Assembly shouldbe ofthe same political complexion as to-day,it will recognize these twenty hold-overs andthe Itepublicans willelect aUnited States Sen-ator, despite what the Executive may do orwant to have done. Itisnot really a questionofapportionment at this time :itis not simplya question as to whether Los Angeles: or someother county may have tro many or too fewrepresentatives, The question is, shall we avoidtrouble in the future? The press had statedthat he voted against apportionment in IJSSI,and it was onthis general ttatement. he sup-posed, that the gentleman from !.\u25a0 > Angeles hadbased his untimely end ill-considered allega-tion that he (thCHpeakcrJ bad opposed andvoted in 1881 against apportioniuj the State.The statement was not true inany particular;The Legislature fail d in 1881 to pas an Appor-tionment Act, and failed again iv l>*ito pa-s aeon.-oitutional one. The billunder considera-tion is intended to avoid all trouble that mightarise under the conflict of authority betweenthe Constitution and the law now inforce, andplace us hack where we should --rand at thepresent time under the provisions of the Cun-: itution, ifno Apportionment Act were inforce. ;

Muniluy had^uoped the question before theI!u.:- would n't assume apolitic 1complexion;hut politics had been dragged into the discus-sion. He was perfectly willing io have theDemocrats take their chances next year inelecting and seating forty Senators. He be-lieved the Supreme Court had indica ed a safecourse when itdeclared that the resutofheelection of ISS-I would be to shorten tue terms ofSenators from the odd-numbered districts twoyears. The Democratic apportionment of 18.v;did not result to the gain of.that party, shownby the sixty K<publicatii in this Assembly tothe twenty Democrat-; Neither have theygained In the Senate, a \u25a0 shown by the result ofthe lo»t election, lie !.;.\u25a0\u25a0•: the House wouldfollow in the fbo steps of the Supreme Court.11 not, he wanted the Republicans to take uponthemselves the responsibility.

A conference of the Republican members ofthe Assembly was held lasttrvening to considerthe advisability of signing apetition to the Gov-ernor favoring tin extra session to consider theirrigation bills, and iiis said to have been con-cluded nut to favor such a petition, as a Repub-lican Assembly had already passed the bills,and the majority of the Republicans of tin Sen-ate are favorable to the bills, but prevent! dmim passing them by the Democratic side.

THE DEBATE ITON TIM: lIIKKiA-ITION BILLS.

Tmriiitf the debate in the Senate on Fridayupon the irrigation bills, Mr. Spencer, ofMa] i,said :1wish tosiv a few words on the question.1- to the power 01 the l .\u25a0 .-. latun tod .1 \u25a0\u25a0 \u25a0\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0.tain uses to be public.

'\u25a0 \u25a0\u25a0• as the Constitution and the laws, as Ieon-eeive, willpermit me to go :beyond that i enn-iiut. .\u25a0:-.. ecmllict Inthis .^tate withrefer-ence to the laws • a water rights. !:is said onthe part of the irrigatora that the riparian lawlit"tnis country does not exi-t, and this billde-clares here :"1lull portion of tiie common law\u25a0\u25a0' England which relates to riparian rights i.-hereby declared to l»e repugnant i<iami icon-sistent with the climate, topography, physicalcondition 'and necessities <>I the people of thisstate.' The object of that is toindirectly repealor attempt to repeal the laws of this .Stale. Iti.sargued here whether or not this State Can existwithout irrigntim; and whether the welfare of

J Hie state would be better under the ripariandoctrine \u25a0\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0 under some other ... whichabrogate that. 1 fay that is a. great questioninitself. 'Ihe riparian doctrine has come downto us, we might ay. from itie agen, and itis thecollation of the best minus ofcenturies po&t. iti.- said this law subserves the interests of man-kind the best, On the other hand, it is el liuiedtli.it tin'lipariau doctrine is one that does notpromote the welfare of the t-'tali*. Nowlet ussee what the riparian doctrine is. 1 think icould Instance n case where a riparian proprie-tor is entitled tothe protection of the riparianlaws, ami not a man in the Senate would roteto abrogate it. For instance, supposing a manowns Itio acres <>f lumi. nr 211 acres ol i.v.ii,>in thy hank cf a stre-'.m: he paid for that laud .icertain price to the Uovcrnmcnt, or to hisgrantor, because it was located on the .';>;. nl rstream. lie reared a family there; ha raisedhis stock there; he planted hb corn and cereals,and he grew up and became identified with thes] ot which he and his family have always re-cognized as their home. Suppose that anothermailbought apiece ol land above him \u25a0 d thestream, ami suppose that In;., him anotherone bought Km acres, and .so on. Then supposeaway up at the headoi that stream lay lotofland which was vacant,' and that a speculatorbad bought that land and then undertook toappropriate that water and divert it m-on thebarren and arid deserts. Suppose he boughtthat land and put it on the market," and Im-ported men here tosell It:be-in? purely « land\u25a0(peculator, he fays:

"1 have \u25a0 ill a ditch intouv.s stream, ni:d on this land : propose to run

that isiinot S vastly Interested In : the<liver?ion of water; on the contrary,tt is aportion of the. country through whichstreams iun, and n here there ure vested rights,and the people expect to live and diethere. I>> they uesiro t>> see ail at once a declar-ation on the part of the Legislature that the eoui-tnon l;'.wnever )ui*l any hold on the people ofthis s'tnte. and tlstit they have no rights exceptthose that tiny could nave by condemnationand which would be held at the caprice of vjury? Thocrcat difficultycomes from the factthat the Constitution di>es not permit ppeeial orlocal legislation, if theirrigators should com-bine with tin.1 riparinsiisus, jus they are culled,and introduce a constitutional amendment,permitting special or local legislation for,thesouthern part of the State, they could pays anylaw they desired and itwould meet withno op-position. Then those counties that think theiriipa:iau cloetiine is dear to them wouldenterno protest, That is one solution ol the question.There is n series of bills presented here by aconvention of repntable gentlemen, but wholbelieve are enthusiasts on the subject of irri-(fatiou,and ithink those bills were crude whentncj were presented; and that they are lackingIn that due reflection in the formulating ofthem thAt is always- given and should be a con-spicuous feature of astatute. Dealing withtheproperty rights of »ny citizen is one ofthe most sacred that we have to dealwith, and 1 will gay I am not herefor the purpose of obstructing anylegislation on the matter in question; nor am Ihere to pander to the promises or the requcstlofany one, oi any othvr influence. That Ibe-lieve tobe a mistake in considering .iquestionofIbis kind. lam here to assert what 1believeto be a wrong; and Isay before this Legislaturelhat the present Act can be modified soa%togive »omc relief to those parti-ofthe State whereirrigation ifreeuired. separate an.i i.).\riir irsthen tof the state, 1 believe this: and Iassertiiis a fact, that the common lowof England, «sginerally understood, and the riparian doctrine,does not materially difl'cr from the civil law ofFrance, Jtaly and .\u25a0J;..ii!i; and IBay that under Ithis law a man who bought a piece of land onthe banks of a dream had certain preferreduses, and in t lie distribution of the water therethat proprietor hail the preference. That Is iwhatIunderstand. Itis generally asserted bythe newspapers that the country needs legisla-tion on the irrigation stion, but they nro en-tirely ignorant of that question, Very few of

;these gentlemen who edit these newspapers1 have examined the question, and very few havestudied the law as a preparation. Iknow law-yers are very badly abused sometimes for up-holding the law, but many aman has had reasonto congratulate the law and the Court whenthey sustained the principles ofjustice and right.1 think the common law of Englandwith reference to the riparian right issubstantially the law in California. Thebill here says that

"the provisions of the com-

mon law of England withreference to riparianrights are hereby declared to be repugnant toand inconsistent with the climate, topography,physical condition and necessities of the peopleof this State." That question hag been litigated.Ithas gone to the Supreme Court of the state.The Supreme Court of this State, Kitting as aCourt in its majesty, and under their oaths, andunder their consciences, have declared that thatlaw is the law of the State. Iunderstand thatthat case is still pending before that Court, andthat they have granted a rehearing in that case.inorder that this great question might be fullyargued, and it has been extensively argued.Km while that body is considering this greatquestion, right ia the mid t of it, we areasked here, not only to set aside their decree,Initabsolutely to criticize their judgment. Ifwehare no confidence in our Courts Iknow notwhere to look for the protection of the citizens.

1, for one. believe that the decision i.i that caseis inharmony withevery decision in this State,ami very nearly every decision in the UnitedStates on this and kindred questions. lam notready to Bay that that portion of the commonlaw of England which relates to riparian rightsis hereby declared repugnant to and Inconsist-ent with the climate, topography, physical con-ditions and necessities of the people of thisState. There are people in this State, and ama-jorityof them, unfortunately, that are in favorofit, butthere are some who are not. Infact,the interests of this State are so diversified,and the climate is so different, that it isimpossible tolay down any one rule that willsubserve them all alike. The climate in thisState varies very much. InShasta, for instance,itrains to such an extent—lheard it assertedthat a gentleman who kept a ruln-guago upthere gave the result ofone season's experience,and when he told it they doubted his veracity,and in fact itruined his reputation for veracityever after. Inother portions it rains less, findin others a littlemore or a little less, and laminformed by the State Engineer that the rain-fall in this State is diversified to a great extent.'Therefore, irrigation ina great portion oftheState is not required at all. But wo are soughthere to make a system of laws to irrigate landsby taking the water from one man to irrigatethe land ofanother. Ibelieve the common liwof England is practically the law of this state.'ihat is founded on a statute passed in 1776 byCongress, in which it said that a man whoowned hind on two sides of a stream shouldhave substantially the rights ofriparianowners.Therefore, we are not leii entirely to the decis-ions in (England, and the common law ofEngland, to define the property rights of thepeople of California. It isby an Act of Con-gress. Aad this state has no power under theConstitution toabrogate it, and ithas been de-cided since,, ifIrecollect the. case, by the Su-preme Court of the United States underthat very statute, that those rights wererested and could not be interfered with.Hut Iam willing to infringe that doc-trine, so to speak, for the purpose if wecan, to give water to those who desire to irri-gate, and which would renew the wealth of theState. lam willingto infringe tosome extent,but letus stop and see what we ore sought todo. lam a riparian owner, Itis sought to con-demn the water which Hows in the stream bymy house, and by my farm, to irrigate SenatorTaylor's farm for instance. Isay that the Leg-islature In.s no power to condemn my water forthat use. 1say it cannot be done. For no useon the earth can itever be condemned exceptfor public use. What is a public use? Why,the very word itself is significant. Itmeans ex-actly what itsays. A public use as contra-dis-tinguished lrom*a private use. For this Legis-ture to say that you can condemn water that Isvested in the owner of the soil, oran incident to—

lor it is tantamount to that—simply to irri-gate this or that man's land, would be to in-fringe on all the laws that ever have been en-acted inany country in the world. Why? LetUS see. Let us take the laws which are in per-fect harmony In this state.

"Eminent do-

main" is the right ol what ? Itis the right ofthe people or Government to take private prop-erty for public use. This right may be exer-cised in the manner provided for by law. Thatis Section 1237 of the Code ofCivilProcedure ofthis State. Upon noother theory can any man's.property ever be taken. No man should everbe compelled to litigate the rights to Ills prop-erty. The man has no right10 be driven iiitoCourt to litigate that which is wrong; to becompelled to litigate an attempt to take hisproperty for purpose which is not manifestly apublic use. Is single i"dividualthe people?is a single individual the Government? No.The necessities if the Government ;the neccs-ity of keeping Governmental agencies; the

necessity ofgiving light to a municipality andtothe community and to appropriate propertyforpublic use, was the origin of the sovereignpower to condemn property for that use. Leius see when it is condemned who it belongs to.There are a great many gentlemen in this ten-ate who will remember that some time ago webad some discussion, in what is known a thelate extraordinary session, as to what wasa public use. The Civil Co-ie says aperson may without futther legislative actionacquire private property for any use specifiedinSection 1238 of the Code of CivilProcedure.When Iuse the words "the people," Imeanthey are the Government, and they may exer-ci.-c this right. When Iasked the question, "Isone individual the Government?" Imean!what Isaid, but Idid not mean it literally. 1mean that a man may manage some institutionthat is devoted to a public use, aud that personis simply an agent of the State; but he cannotlor hi.- private use condemn that property.When a railroad company condemns laud, orany other corporation, if their charter is for-feited, that use remains in '.!:'• public, and re-mains in the State. Talk to me about takingone man's property tomake another one rich!Itcannot be (.'one under the Constitution, anditcannot be done with the sanction of law.Now letus see what is a public use. Iread fromMillson Eminent Domain; Section 14. [liead«.]

NowIhave a case which illustrates what 1was saying a little while ago. The Senate willunderstand that this doctrine here laid down isthe doctrine that Icontend for— itmust bea public use, and the explanation given here isthe best explanation in the world. What is a.public use f Itis the enjoyment of a use « hiehaffects the public. The franchise -.or a road, forinstance, gives the public the right incommonwithme to use it,though 1 may collect the tollslor that use. A city can condemn water for thepurpose of supplying a municipality. Why?because every man in the city can buy thewater. Can any man say that because heowns ICo acres ol laud that he cancondemn water for hi- farm? No. Whynot? Because the very moment Igo there ouhis farm lam a trespasser. If1 can condemnland or water to irrigate my land, the Stateshould go further, and say that any man canhave any portion Of that land that iown bypaying me for it,and then," by cultivating itincommon with me, the use becomes public. l!utthe very fact that on that bind noman darts puthis fool

—it i- my home and castle, and is pro-

tected by the law as the most sacred right that aj,.:ii conceive -.!". That the Legislature haspower to condemn one man's property for thepurpose of irrigating another man's properlyin my opinion cannot bo supported by reason orlogic. 1 undertake '\u25a0•\u25a0 say then; is not a case illthe civilized world that can be found to supportit.

The Senator then quoted from the case ofAn-dersen vs. the Kern Drainage Company, IndianaReports, Vol. XIV.,at considerable length, onthe question of what constitutes a

"publicuse."*

The Thompson Investigation.'I'lii- inquiry Into the general charges

n idea linst Secretary of State Thompsonntinued lasi evening by the Senate

('inn!!.;'

John Q.Brown, Superintendent <>f thementoGas Company, and A.A.Ked-

ington. collector for th<- same, wore ex-amined inregard to ill" bills for gas fur-nished the State. !;>':!i (i< nied knowledge•>i any collusion betw I company or

nts :i:i'lany pers >;i on behall' of t j11_-

Stato.Howard Kii-\u25a0(•!! Johnson testified in a

general way that he believed the affairs ofthe office were conducted loosely.

Charles Sellinger, book-keeper (or SeHlinger &Co coal dealere,1testified that hislinnbad the contract Tut furnishing coal tothe State Capitol. Never know of any col-;lusion between the linn and anyone in theSecretary ofState's office. Mr.*Tlibnipsondi ! not 1purchase tel of the linn for hisprivate use.

M. Haunahan, ;t dealer it) wood, wascalled nest. He had had a contract to fur-nish wood to tbc Secretary of State. Chewood was measured by the Janitor, andwitness made his bills according to thehitter's measurements, and knew <>!' nocollusion with Secretary of State Thomp-son or any of his subordinate . Witnesssaid that Mr.Thompson h:is bought woodof witness for his private residence andpaid ti.r it.

T. 11. Wnllis, State Librarian, was sworn.He hud had occasion to order from Secre-tary of State Thompson main articles not !on the stationery schedule. After manyfailures to get certain articles, Mr. Chomp- ison said he would accommodate the Li-brary ifitI,must have them; Witness al-ways preferred pint bottles of ink toquarts.Never knew of any collusion betweenMr. Thompson, or any of his Iclerks, and dealers in stationery.

James < >'Mcaro was tin next witness. Heidentified a Utter published in the SanFrancisco Aliaas having been written byhim. Believed that then had been collu-sion between Carlisle &Co. and Chompsinregard to the stationery contracts. Wit-ness was shown a sample of pink ballot-paper, which he said was not the samequality as that used at the election in So-noma county. Could not «ay of his ownknowledge thai Mr.Thompson badIbeen Iin collusion with stationery dealers, butone person from whom be bad receivedinformation isnotnow in the Stale. Ex-Secretary ofState Beck had told witnessthat there was a bigchance for a steal asbetween quarts and pints of ink. Severalsmall dealers in wood and coal had toldhim that there was corruption going Ion in wood and coal contract:). As ajournalist, he felt justified inrefusing toIgive the names of his informants in allIcases. He might give information to the Icommittee privately that he- woulddecline Ito give in open committee.

Witness at this point used strong language in regard to the private character ofIMr. Thompson, who, in response to a cer- jtain charge made by witness, called the Ilatter a liar.

The Chairman of the committee calledthe parties to order, ami said Uiai languagegi'tijfltkind would not be permitted.

At 10 r. m. the committee adjourneduntil 7:30 this evening, when Mr.Thomp-son willbe heard in answer to the chargesmade and evidence introduced.

The McCarthy Investigation.

The Assembly Investigating Committeemet last evening for the purpose of resum-ing the inquiry into the charges broughtagainst Supreme Court Clerk McCarthy.

Mr.Johnson inquired if Mr. McCarthyhad yet found the desk blotter of tin1 SanFrancisco office, and the latter said he hadnot.

Mr. Gorman, of the Controller's office,was put on the stand. He testified that onone occasion he was walkingon the streetwith Mr.McCarthy and talking of the in-vestigation in progress in his office. Hesaid that a portion of the fees received inhis office had been divided among theclerks as perquisites. Don't know as hesaid anything about what he proposed tod<> about the matter.

Cross-examined—

lie did not mentionany particular class of fees that were sodivided. Don't think he mentioned theamounts.

Mr. Johnson offered in evidence a tele-gram from the publisher of the StanislausWheat- Grower, in regard to certain matters,to which objections of the defense weresustained.

Mr. Johnson then stated that the prose-cution was tin-,pujrli with its. testimony, ex-cept that it was desirable to prove by theticket agent at Sacramento that a round-trip ticket t<> Los Angeles is$34, and to SanKrancisco £.">. [The charges are to theeffect that McCarthy had char, •>.! $43 toLos Angeles and back, and 96 to and fromSan Francisco.]

Mr. Hart sail! the defense preferred notto proceed with their dde Of the case untilthe evidence for the prosecution should allbe in. However, the prosecution, heclaimed, had failed to show that all the feesofMcCarthy's office had not been paid overto the State prior to the investigation, withthe exception of a lew small items whichMr. Leake claimed to have kept on amemorandum, which memorandum hasnot been produced before the committee.

Mr.Johnson criticised the course of thedefense, saying that it was morally andlegallyjust as bad for McCarthy to steal afew dollars as a great many, it was treat-bag a serious matter as a trivialthing.

Mr. Han said he regarded the prosecu-tion us n contemptible piece of business,and ilid not propose entering upon an argu-ment to prove the fallacy of the testimonyintroduced unless 'he committee sodesired.

Mr. .Tones said he. for one, would liketohear testimony on behalf ol"the defense inregard to certain charges in support ofwhich the prosecution had introduced evi-dence.

Mr.Han claimed that sonic of the wit-nesses for the li'-i'-iisr were not presentbecause i! waa not known that the prosecu-tion M'ns prepared (\u25a0> close.

Mr.Goucher moved thai the committeeadjourn until Tuesday evening at 7 p. >i., tobear any testimony that Ihe defense mifrljthave toofl t.

Mr. Jones thougiit Hie comiuittee shouldproceed now, as one of Md 'arthy's witnesseswas present, and another would I"-up ontin H o'clock train.

Mr. Ooueher's morion prevailed, how-ever, and the committee adjourned.
