Mrs. JANE p. THrRsToN, Proprietor of the
United States and Kingdom OF Great Britain
and Colonies" has the government in a tight
place. 1t seems that this somewhat eccentric
lady went up to the White House to tender TO
President Grant 1.-The deed of gift Of the United
States to him as trustee for the people thereof
and some joker she met up there proposed. in
behalf Of the President, to accept the trust, ifs
she would pay the expenses of the government
for the year. This she agreed to do, and she
now demands the revenue of the government
her agreement. This is rather turning the joke
on the party of the nrst part, whoever he was.
Mrs. T. is evidently not so crazy as she might
be. Anyhow, she is on the sharp lockout for the
man who assumed to speak for the President in
the trust deed matter

CAssERLY.-It is reported that charges are 20
be preferred against Senator Casserly, of Cali

Howard, a competitor of Mr.. Casserly in the
senatorial contest, published q pamphlet en-
titled "a Comedy in Three Acts" which con-
tanned serious allegations against certain menu
beTs of the Legislature who .'vOted for Casserly
in consideration of so much coli, In hand pad.''
The opponents Of Mr.. Casserly charge that his
election cost the Bank OF California Sl75,0oO.
Colonel W. H. l.. Barnes, formerly Casserly's
law partner, Is said to have managed the bust
ness, or rather to have acted as a gO-between for
the bank and the members OF the Legislature.
SECRETARY boutwell, is very reticent in
reference to the matter OF his successorship. He
says his taking his seat in the Senate on Mon
day next will depend upon circumstances, from
which many infer that the question as to who
shall be his successor is not yet definitely set
tied. Among the theories advanced Is one to the
effect that the President recognizes the Just
ness Of the claim of New York city that she Is
entitled, as the great commercial center Of the
country, to the appointment of Secretary of
the Treasury; that Mr.. Boutwell, will not take
his seat In the Senate this session; that he will
resign as soon "a the Senate adjourns; that the
President viii then appoint Judge Richardson
Secretary ad interim; that Judge r. will resign
that position when Congress meets next win
ter; and that the President will recognize the
claim Of New York, and appoint Ex-Governor
Morgan, John j. Cisco. or some other prom;n :

of the President. Judge Richardson Is now
