a vets vetsed.
Amongst the legislative botchings
of the last session was a bill for ex-
tending Montgomery street through
Rincon Hill to the bay. Governor
Haight vetoed the measure, but neg
lected to return 1t with his dlsapproval
until the last day allowed by law, and
then the Senate had adjourned. The
Senate insisted that the Act was valid,
because It was not returned within due
time, the Governor taking the other
view that It did not matter whether or
no the House was In session 50 long as
he sent It back In ten days. The mat
ter has ut length been settled BY q de.
clsion Of the Supreme, Court In favor Of
the bill, thus sustaining the Senatorial
argument.
Cecss island Treasure Expedition.
II any one thinks that the weekly
bills Of mortality have any effect in
diminishing the number of fools, he
has only to read the daily papers to
become convinced that there are still
as many living as heretofore. A meet
ing was held the other night Of the
stockholders In the Cocos Island Trea-
sure Prospecting Company to receive
the report Of the returned expedition
lists. The report was a model OF terse-
ness and brevity and was given ertem-
pore by the Captain of the searching
party. eve couldn't find the treasure
and so we came back" Of course the
stockholders were intensely dlsaP
pointed and piled the Captain with all
kinds of questions, but his only answer
was, I'VE couldn't find It," He stated
that it was his Intention to 20 after 1t
again, and unless the company found
the money quickly to fit out another
vessel, he should charter Il himself.
Whereupon, a majority Of those pres
ent resolved to reorganize and TRY,

We Lecturers.
1t appears as If there was a mutual
incompatibllity between Californians
and lecturers. In giving a review Of
the lecture season In a late letter, /
mentioned the unsuccessful efforts that
had been made to engraft that mode Of
amusement In San Francisco; now the
lecturers are taking their revenge from
Eastern platforms by spinning rough
yarns about our intellectual stupidity,
and drawing dismal pictures Of our
financial and moral condition. Bar
mum and Bayard Taylor are amongst
the discontinued, 81 we may expect to
receive some literary raps. "Our
Olive, "-sometimes called Miss Olive
Logan-announces two lectures, and
two only, and Us she is n celebrity,
curiosity may help to draw together 4
better audience than graced the benches
of any of the departed mental cultiva-
tors.
Tho Neuval Trial
drags Its slow length along, without
any material development in the testi-
mony. The prisoner sits all day be-
sides his counsel, suggesting ques-
lions during the examination Of wit
nesses, and making notes Of portions
| of their statements in order to try and
refute them by the defense. He ap..
| pears confident Of an acqulttal, and
| unless some stubborn juror stands out,
the verdict Is almost certain to be not
guilty" with perhaps n chance In
ten of a disagreement. The Twelfth
| District Court did not meet yesterday,
so we missed our columns of evidence
