A Corner on Casserly.

II the dispatch in this mornings
SENTINEL relative TO Casserlv's con-
duct toward the Democratic Central
Committee of San Francisco be true,
it is quite obvious that he has materi.
ally lessened his chances for the
United States Senate. Charges had
been made that the Democratic Leg
islative ticket sold out on the day of
election to the Central Pacific Rail-
road Company. 1t was supposed that
Mr.. Casserly knew something of the
transaction, and the Central Commit
tee having determined to investigate
the charges summoned him to ap-
pear before them and test fy with
reference to the affair. Mr.. Casserly
declined, and the result was, as the
wires inform us, the adoption by the
committee of a resolution c%ensuring
him in unmistakable terms for his
course in the premises. In a spirit Of
irony, perhaps, the committee 90
still further, and turn Senator Cas-
serly over to the tender mercies of
President Grant. What President
Grant has to do with the bargains and
~ales of politicians in California, and
especially with the workings of a
Democratic Central Committee, we
confess our inability to divine. At
all events, Mr.. CaSserlv by the course
he has thought proper to pursue, has
laid himself liable to be s%uspicioned
as being entirely too intimate with
the monopolists, and unless he can
make a satisfactory explanation his
chances for the succession will be
very slim. He appears to be o
nered, while Booth stock is still adj
vancing in the political market.

Governor Booth Interrogated.

A correspondent of the San Fran
cisco Alta. who claims to be a member
of the California Legislature, pro-
pounds some interrogatories to His
ENcellency, Governor Booth. which
he is requested TO answer through the
medium of an open letter. The writer
represents that he is friendly to the
Governor. and would be glad to sup
port him for the United States Senate,
but desires to know just how he the
GOVERNOR stands with reference to
certain important matters before he
can consistently do it. We reproduce
that portion of the letter containing
the interrogatories:
First-Will he resign on or before
the 4th of March, 1875? Second-If
not. will he lie Governor or Senator
during the nine months aforesaid. or
can I've be bOth Governor and Senator
during that time? And ii only one,
which will he he? Can he, for the
nine months between the 4th OF
March and December, 1875, continue
to exercise the office of Governor
of California. with the commission as
Senator in his pocket. and when his
term as Governor eX pireS go TO WASH
ing and take his seat in the United
States Senate 1 do not ask these
questions as an enemy of Governor
Booth. but As his friend, and l would
like an eN plan.ttion Of the course he
will pursue before voting upon the
question.
| also take this view Of the case II
elected Senator it would he i'm Deem
Der, 1878, or year and Il quarter be-
fore the term Of his office as Senator
would commence, and two years be-
fore his term as Governor would en-
ire, during which time he would
continue to exercise the Office of Gov
ernor, unless he should resign at
once. Which would he do?
But ! am not SO much concerned
about that matter as l am about the
three-quarter> of a year, from March
to December. 1875. during which time
he would have TO be either Senator or
Governor, or perhaps both, and draw
his pay both as Senator and Governor:
or il not for both, fer which would he
be paid? When these matters are ex-
planned, it will be time enough to turn
attention to others; but let the expla-
nation of these come first. And I
would like to have the Governor. or
one of his organs. the Sacramento
Union or the San Francisco Chronicle,
while upon these subjects, explain
the Governors speech at Oroville.
wherein he s6lemnly promised to
serve ont his full term as Governor,
and not to be a candidate for the Uni
ed States Senate during his term of
office; it will be Just as we'll, and save
time.

Downfall of Wall Street Pirates

The w al street geld gamblers are
in tribulation. Another Black Fri
day" has come and gone, and their
power for levying black-mail on the
commerce of the country seems to
have departed with it. The New York
World, in a column and a half double
loaded editorial, reioicss, most enthu-
siasticallv, owe their downfall. That
journal, in its issue of the 10th inst.
saws:
1t is nov time to note once more the
defeat and decay Of the gold cliuue-a
