A San Francisco journal has preferred against one of the representatives from this county in tho present Legislature charges of the most serious character. They are, in brief, that Assemblyman El wood Bruner of Sacramento, in reward for his exertions in behalf of the police increase bill, was promised, and bargained for tho right to name, six of tho new appointees upon the police force of San Francisco; that the bill having become a law, Mr. Bruner has ongaged in the venal traffic of selling these appointments, at the figure of $400 each; that in a particular instance he recommended a name for appointment supposed to represent a living person, but which name was fictitious, and was created for the sole purpose of trapping the Assemblyman; that he wrote a recommendation and request to the San Francisco Police Commissioners for this mythical applicant, asking for his appointment, and that thereupon the masking go-between paid to Mr. Bruner's agent in his presence 5400 for such recommendation, it being understood that it was equivalent to an appointment, sinco it was represented that tho Police Commission of San Francisco would recognize and confirm it. The presumption of innocenco must prevail in favor of the Assemblyman thus charged, uutil he is given opportunity to reply to his accusers before a tribunal of competent jurisdiction and to establish his guiltlessness.

This much the commonest dictates of the sentiment of fair play demand, and this suspension of judgment will be accorded. But it cannot aud should not be long maintained awaiting the investigation that must be had. For the people of the State have the right to an immediate and searching inquisition into this matter. There must not bo attempted any smothering process. Nothing worse could happen to Mr.

Bruner, or more humiliate his constituency than an adjournment of the Legislature without such an investigation being ordered and completed. The situation is simply this, that the by evidences which are prima facie of tho most damaging character, but which, if untrue, can be been made, and Assemblyman Bruner having entered his denial as reported elsewhere in our columns, and having charged that his relation to the affair was that of ono trapping others for the purpose of exposing their trickery, an issue is joined at the bar of public opinion that must be tried at once. Any delay that results in postponements until the Legislature has adjourneel will be construed by public judgment into confession of inability to reply to the charges before a legislative tribunal and fear to face the accuser. Unless such an investigation is ordered at once, and such a one as will search tho whole business to the innermost bowels of the affair, Mr. Bruner must resign, pr the people of Sacramento, whose representative he is, will demand his resignation, and in no unmistakable terms.

There can be no possible misconception of the expressed sentiment of the people on that head. Assemblyman Bruner stands charged with venality that, if not as is claimed a crime before tho law, is in the estimation of the moral sense of tho people heinous. They expect their representative to follow up his denial, unofficially made, by rising in his place without any delay and demanding an investigation at onco by the Assembly, of which he is a member, into the charge of corruption laid at his door through the public agency of the press. Corruption stalks in this day so brazenly ami unconcealed in public places; the traffic in patronage is so unblushing and defiant; the e'hink of the coin of the money changers is so unmistakably audible in the halls of legislation, the forum of justice and the sacred precincts of the polling-place, that men are beginning to lose faith in the possibilities of self-government. Wealth demanding high place upon no other footing than its ability to buy; corruption permeating political mediums from caucus to convention, and defeating the free will expression of the people; venality tainting official transactions and burrowing in the very heart of self-government; the rule of bosses and the usurpation of rings, the almost universal conviction that the shortest road to position lies through the these things are operating iti two directions, embittering the public heart and searing the public conscience.

Related to the first there is hope iv the revolt that results from conditions such as indicated; there is in the second a peril without hope. When dintnint nf in whom we have reposed confidence crystallizes into indifference concerning the character of public servants, the means they employ to attain their ends, aud traffic in patronage becomes by very convention the public standard of political success, the end of human freedom in the American republic and the failure of self-government are not far distant. It is such things as are charged against Assemblyman Bruner that augment the drift of public thought toward the condition of hopelessness. It is therefore of more than local or State importance that such charges shall not be put aside, but that there shall be searching and unsparing investigation. Smothering, whitewashing or confusing, if attempted will but feed the distrust of the people, and will hasten tbo hour of their revolt, beforo which will go down all manner of dangerous to the social and political systems upon which the perpetuity of free institutions is dependent.

Wo repeat, the public demand is that there be an immediate and thorough investigation by the Assembly into these charges agaiust Assemblyman Bruuer. He has been the law officer of this county; he has prosecuted and secured the conviction of many a petty thief, and through his agency as such officer many a man has been sent to the penitentiary for far less grave offensos than that charged against him. It thereforo behooves him to bo prompt in presorting himself for tho investigation and in soliciting it, that it may be demonstrated that the lawmaking body of the Stato does not deal less with its offenders, if guilt is established, than it charges upon tho law oflicers of the State in their prosecution of crime. For tho sake of his constituency, of legislative honor, and of the fair fame of California, every true man will hope that tho charges of infamous ofi'enso against the Assemblyman will prove to be untrue if there has been tho attempt against a legislator, and his relation to it was that of exposure, -the citizens of California will expect that fact to be mado perfectly clear and with emphasis, that the offenders may bo dealt with as justice demands. But if the charges against the legislator are proved true, every citizen holding commonest regard for the cleaulinoss of our system of government will expect the judgment to bo unhesitating and direct, and the punishment to be adoquate.

This is no matter of mercy or mincing; it is one of supremo justice and of unfaltering punishment of guilt wherever it is found. It is, in its importance to our system, superior to any men it may involve, and before the demand for its entire uncovering every other consideration must give way. FREE SCHOOL-BOOK BILL. Senate bill 154, now under reconsideration in the Assembly, should not become a law. It provides that in school districts, cities, or towns, the people may decide by vote if they will furnish the Stato text-books free to pupils of the public schools, the money to purchase them being raisetl by taxation.

Ths books are to be considered as the property of the district and to be loaned to pupils through the agency of the teachers, who are to keep a check list to insure their return at the close of each term. If a pupil loses or destroys a book he or she must replace it by a new one. A serious objection to the bill is that it destroys self-helpfulness among parents, and in a senso it pauperizes tho pupils. Still another objection is that public property in private hands never receives the care that ownership insures. Again, it increases taxation, enlarges the tax rate, and though it could be shown that the books would cost the people in the aggregate no more, yet it will tend to augment the complaint against excessive taxation upon wliieh politicians play to advance their selfish ends.

It must be apparent to all that a far greater number of books would be used under a free system than where possession is the result of personal payment, which insures care in their use. Tho provision that thoso who misuse or lose books must purchase others in their stead amounts to nothing, for no penalty attaches to refusal or neglect to make gootl the loss or damage. Under the present law those who are indigent, who cannot purchase books, aro supplied at State cost, and that is surely far enough to go in the eiirection of pauperizing the people. Section 0 of tho bill is very much involved, and would seem to operate to prevent any private schools, or pupils under private tutors, from purchasing State school books. The true polity is to sell the books to all schools, all pupils, all teachers.

The Stato does so now antl why it should reverse this policy cannot be shown. Hit is said that Section 9 refers only to disposition of books procured under the free rule, to outside schools, we reply that the section is not clear in its expression if that is intended. It certainly will boar the construction that is placed upon it that it will prevent any but public schools using the books. At best tho section is involved in ambiguity and may well be suspected as being used as means by the book rings to enable them to throttle the private schools anew and compel them to use publishers' books. But the one strong and chief objection to the bill is that it increases the cost to the taxpayer for the support of the schools, and to just that extent will tend to cultivate enmity to the State textbooks.

Let us get the school book revolving fund into a condition in which it can demonstrate its ability to reproduce itself, before we attempt to enlarge the facilities for procuring the books, and stimulate a elisposition to misuse them. The opportunity to do justice to a claimant is now afforded the State. The bill to allow the claim of Captain Mullan for the percentage due him lor services rendered in securing from the Government the money due to California in the matter of the Indian war claims, has passed one house of the Legislature and should become a law. The money was recovered through the agency of Captain Mullan ho WM the State's agent for that SACRAMENTO DAILY RECORD-UNION, FRIDAY, MARCH 6, PAGES. purpose; it his skill, perseverance and energy that we are indebted for the receipt of our dues by contract with the State he became entitled to his fees; he was unjustly refused them under a former administration, and it is proper that tho error should be now corrected and the debt paid.

The sum is small, but the principle involved of the State standing to its contract is great. The ballot bill is to be decided for or against finally to-day. Let the friends of the measure stand together, neither permitting nor suggesting amendments. It has fair promise of passage; it is an eminently wise measure and will tend to remove the reproach that bossism and trickery have visited upon our political system. Tho Senato bill ia tho best drawn of any of the ballot laws in this country, and should stand or fall upon its merits as it is, and not be imperiled by amendments.

The Pacific Improvement Company has recently purchased twelve thousand acres of land in the heart of Tehama County, for the purpose of promoting subdivision and settlement.

This land embraces lands from firstclass Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to land of fair average quality, and is offered at from $10 to $20 per acre, in subdivisions ot 40, and32o acres. The terms upon which these lands are offered are especially attractive. They will be sold in subdivisions, as above indicated, by the payment of interest only for three years, at which time the purchiiser can begin the payment ol principal by paying tho first of Aye equal an nual installments. Thus no part of the principal is to bo paid for three years, and then the purchaser is to have five years In which to pay five equal annual installments, with interest at the rate of 7 per cent, per annum, making payments extending over a period of eight years. Intending purchasers are assured that this is an opportunity to purchase laud of fair average quality at per acre, and good agricultural land at $20 an acre, with other grades of land at prices to correspond between these figures.

The assertion is frequently made lands, suitable for general farming, and especially adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be had in California for less than from $G0 to $100 an acre. An examination of the land subject of this advertisement will prove to home-seekers that this is an opportunity for the purchase of good agricultural land at $20 un acre, and for qualities grading down to fair agricultural land at $10 an acre, on terms of payment which should make the disposition of these lands to actual settlers a result easy of accomplishment. The primary object of the purchase of this body of laud was the breaking up of a large holding for the purpose of promoting its settle. ment in smaller quantities and its devotion to diligent husbandry. l-'or further particulars call upon, or address, WM.
