That was a heavy blow the committee
to whom was referred the resolution of
the city couucil in relation to the new
city charter, has dealt the powerful State
Attorney of Coke's grace, at Austin. The
innocent gentleman, who seems to have
forgotten the first principles of evidence
and seems never to have encumbered his
massive brain with any principles of logic
would do well to come to Sau Antonio
aud take some lessons with out city eoun
cil. His nexo "opiuiou" would, from a
legal stand-point, undoubtedly gain by it.
The committee, consisting of aldermen
Teel, Gwos and Sam. Smith, came to the
conclusion that from the certified copy of
the new charter and the endorsements
thereon, said new charter never became a
law. and that the charter of 1870 is the
charter of the city of Sau Antonio. Every
man of common sense, even without much
knowledge of the law, would, considering
the evidence, have come to the same con-
clusion, except the poweriul "Geueral
State Attorney." The reasoning of the
committee is able and conclusive. Wo
give the main portion of it, viz:
That, they have examined the certified
copy of said vhaiter, and find lrom said
copy, and the certificates attached there-
to, that said Bill passed both houses of
the Legislatuae, that said Bill was pre-
sented to his Excelleucy, Gov. E. J. Da-
vis, on the 3d day of June, 1873, as shown
by his receipt endorsed on said Bill. We
further fiud that the 13th Legislature ad-
journed on the 4th day of June, 1S73, it
being the next day after presentation.
The law on that subject requires one full
day to intervene between presentation ot
a Bill aud adjournment to give any such
Bill the force and effect of law. See Hyde
vs. White 24tli Texas ; pages 143 to 145.
also Constitution of 1869.
Your colnmittee believe that it would
not be advisable to prove the existence of
a law by parole or extraneous evidence.
Acts or laws of the Legislature should
prove themselves, aud the Bill itself
should prove whether all the prerequisites
had been complied with to make it a law
o£ the land ; and if it requires the inter-
position of Courts, the bill can only take
force and effect when declared by such
tribunals to be a law.
Again your committee believe that the
Executive of the State is one of'tlie co-
ordinate branches of the government, and
it being his peculiar and exclusive pro-
vince to state and decide upon the day
when Bills are presented to him, his re-
ceipt upon the Bill in question must be
taken as true (until proven otherwise by
dad course of law) and must control in
the determination whether a law or not.
See Carlisle & Son vs. Collector of New
York, a late case decided in the Supreme
Court of the Uuited States. In this case
the Court decides that, although the Jour-
nal of Congress gave a certain day qf the
passage of an act, yet the President's evi
deuce, when he signed it, actually con.-
trols the date from which it becamo a
law.

Those of our readers who contemplate
investing in tho First Grand Salt Lake
Gift Concert, to be hold ft Corinne, Utah,
on the 31st inst.. had better secure their
tickets at once, as there is but a small
number remaining on hand and these will
be sold to those applying for them firs'.
The success it has met with is unparalle-
led, and there is no doubt that the draw-
ing will take place as advertised. The
tickets are only one dollar each, or six for
fiv^e dollars. See advertisement.
