Mr. Tu6ER thought tho Legislature would s, that tho

the best plan would be TO adjourn sine die and not say
anything to the Legislature about meeting again
Mr.. PuRpY was opposed TO adjourning sine die as he
thought some result would be required of them He was
willing that the names Of those members who had failed
TO attend at three consecutive meetings should be taken

FLOYD'S REASONABLE TRANSFER OF ARMS
TO CALIFORNIA

From the San Francisco Bulletin, Sept. oSl
The letter OF our New York correspondent written on
the 10th nst the arrival at that port Of the
steamer Northern Light, having board GOO stand OF
arms which had been ordered home from the United
States Arsenal at Benica The profound secresy with
which these shipped hence is as creditabIe TO
General sumner as their c.andesne transit to this coast
last year by Secretary Floyd was infamous. No more
striking evidence of the damnable which con.
roed BuchaDans administration need looked for than
the fact that at time of unusual quiet stand of
arms were sent by the War Department TO this coast
What possible could have been anticipated for SO vast
an armament here?
There two that can be imagined WHY
traitorous Secretary should have made this extra.
ordinary disposition of the country's arms One
object may have been TO deprive the loyal States
on the other side of weapons for promptly striking
at rebellion when fist manifesting ITSELF If this
were the object, the scheme by means failure
for to this day the government has been unable 10 con
cenrate at tho needed centres that large portion Of our
unstoen arms and ships which scattered to the four
quarters Of the world willie treason was in power and
trying TO shape the destinies Of the country.
But the evidence is convincing that Secretary Floyd
sent these arms here not only TO get them way
but also TO have them used against the government He
probably persuaded himself that time that Senator
Gwn correct in saying that California would go with
the South when the time for dividing the Union arrived
General Albert s. Johnston obviously placed in com
mand OF the Pacific Department to fulfill Just such pur
as General Twiggs to his eternal disgrace fulfilled in
Texas The large majority OF our people who last year
voted for Lincoln and Douglas may have discouraged
General Johnston from undertaking carry this State out
Of the unon it may be that dsloyal he has proved
himself he had not become sufficiently abandoned after
taking second thought 70 immediate his remaining repu
tation as a soldier.
