fattering. Cause-our citizens don't all

filed with great dignity, and had the respect and
confidence OF the Bar. Although his falling health
had been apparent IN his wasted frame, and
especially In the enfeeblement OF his voice, there

'pers0nal SUPERVISORY that he had, when he left
Washington forever, maze progress on q work
about his life and times. That statement is in
correct. He neither devised nor supervised that
work. He sanctioned it, indeed, and he aided 1t
by putting his old friend in possession of his let

nc completed; but he never saw line Of it, except
the open letter addressed to him by Mr. worden on
his last birthday, in which letter the plan was
indicated and the scope and spirit of the undertake
ing carefully foreshadowed.
TOUCHING INTERVIEW WITH SENATOR SUMNER
On Friday, May @ Senator Sumner called upon
the Chief Justice. and the interview was OF the
most touching character. The history OF Mr.
Chase's life was referred to as most eventfu when
both were struggling for the abolition or slavery
The leave-taking was an event which deeply i'm
pressed those present In spite OF the ram ana
windo the Chief Justice then drove out to Edge
wood, accompanied by Mr.. Worden. He had set
Elements and leave-takings with his servants
especially his Aunt Classy Vandry, his housekeeper,
whom he highly praised. On the way out, he
talked freely, but with great care and dscrimina-
ton, about the differences between him AMI Mr..
Sumner, whom he praised as learned and other
wise worthy of high admiration, but whose views,
he explained, had often greatly differed from his
own.
HIS FAREWELL TO WASHINGTON.
On leaving Washington last Saturday morning
he manifested the most tender friendship toward
those who were assembled to bid him goodby On

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

How IT STANDs.--It has heretofore
been generally understood, particularly
b. people residing in the Eastern States
and Europe, that San Francisco was To-
Gated in and was part Of the State of
California. y meeting recently held at
the Chamber Of Commerce, in San Fran
cisco, to express opposition to the Goat Isl
and bill, will serve to correct this impres-
sion. The speeches made on the occasion
referred to show plainly that the intor-
estsof California depend entirely upon
San Francisco and are subordinate there
TO, and that the interior has no rights
which the metropolis is in any way bound
TO respect. Some remarkable speeches
and resolutions offered at this meeting
were considered as proving this doctrine
so clearly that they were ordered tcle-
graphed to the Associated Press Of New
York. The election Of Clayton, who was
said to be strongly in favor Of the Goat
Island bill, by vote Of one thousand
over Grant in the city Of San Fancisco,
may now be put down in the category Of
fables. The immense public meeting Of
about three hundred persons, represent
ing a population Of one hoadred oHd
SERENITY UouSa8d, have given an entirely
different view Of public opinion. We
congratulate San Francisco upon its new
found guardians

GA-LO-RI-0Us. - Governor Newton
Booth, by way Of putting snapper to
his remarkable speech, lately delivered
at the Chamber Of Commerce in San
Francisco, read dispatch from J. X.
Luttrell, which was received with i'm
monse (?) applause. Whether the 300
guardians Of the rights Of San Francisco
stamped the soles off their boots and
went home bare-footed, the dispatches do
not state, bat they might have said so and
come a great deal nearer the truth than
did Luttrell. The celebrated telegram
which San Francisco's Governor read
was to the effect that nineteen twentieths
Of the voters OF the Third Congressional
District were opposed to the passage Of
the Goat Island Bill. A wise man once
said, that if person must lie, it was
better to make it so big that no one would
believe it," We would suggest to Lut-
trell that he makes it twenty
next time.
