Our cross.Walks.

A few words in regard to cross
walks again. During the past month
or two some very good ones were con-
structed, and We hope the good work
of building new ones will 60 on. If
now the City Council will pass an
ordinance filming all persons who hitch
their horses or stop on the street so
as to leave the horses or vehicle di-
rectly across the walk, thereby COM
polling pedestrians to wade the mud to
get by it, they will prevent what is
now of very common occurrence. Yes
terday we noticed two ladies and q
child very reluctantly taking to the
mud to pass by inexcusable obstruc-

The TemDleloHs.

We learn that this popular troupe
that has lately been performing in the
leading towns of the Pacific coast, will
open next Monday night at the MERGED
Theatre. They are now at Santa Bar
bara, and have just concluded q series
of entertainments at San Jose, where
they were greeted with crowded houses
and filled one of the longest and most
successful engagements ever made in
that city. Wherever the troupe has
appeared it has met with the most
fiattering reception, aud the press both
in the East and on this coast is loud in
their praise. Little Fay Templeton is
favorite wherever she goes; Alice
Vane is an actress of talent and high
attachments, and John Templeton rs
"a comedian, will meet the expectations
of the most critical audience. In addi-
ton there are a number of talented
artists, and the troupe taken all to-
gether is one that merits the liberal
patronage of our citizens.

"A ter of Southern California, and more
especially that most favored section called
Santa Barbara, becomes known TO the world
it is not surprising that a widespread and
growing interest in this region should be
awakened. 1t is the constant aim of the Press

with greatly increased facilities.
While the PRESS seeks to promote the
prosperity OF all Southern California by all le-

directly interested in the growth and coming
greatness OF Santa Barbara. The unequaled
loveliness of the climate, its almost incredible
healthfulness, the beauty of the scenery, tn
wondrous variety and fertility of the soil, In
almost unlimited range of products whic
flourish there without irrigation, will b

Judge Larremore touching the judicial interpreta-
ton to be given to the act by the last Legislature
relative to the Marine Court 1t was urged on
one side that the act was prospective a to sup
Elementary proceedings and that when Judgments
were obtained in the Marine Court alter Nav 4

man against the city, involving the question OF
payment ior locks furnished the county In 1869
by the Johnson Rotary Lock Company. The
original amount OF the bill was $s5S, and 1t was
duly audited by the Board OF Supervisors. But for
all this audit the Comptroller would pay and
the result was that some time since application
was made for mandamus directing the Comp
.rolier to pay the same. In pursuance OF his usual
custom, the Comptroller fought the mandamus,
and meantime the Consolidation act was passed,
the effect OF which was TO abate the mandamus
proceedings and compel the plaintln to commence
his legal battle over again, which he

case, not only Of importance to British ship
masters and owners, but involving an important
question OF jurisdiction, was decided yesterday by
United States Commissioner Osborn. The facts
OF the case show that August 6, 1873, Joseph
Fish shipped at London as sailor on the British
ship Kingsbridge, and that on September
II, 1873 John Green shipped on the same
vessel at Sydney. New South Wales. Tho
voyage, as specified in the shipping articles, was
not TO exceed two years and was to end at the
flnal port OF discharge in the United Kingdom or
Continent, between Elba and Brest. The ship ar.
rived at New York on the 9th inst, and on that
date Fish and Green left the SHIP as they claim at
the direction OF Captain Symonds, who as they
aliege, discharged them. 1t was claimed, how
ever. by Captain symonds. master OF the

sioner Osborn for a warrant to arrest them as
deserters. Tnis warrant having been granted the
men were arrested on last Friday and their exam

BANKRUPT LAW AMENDMENTS,

Judge Blatchford, In the United States District
Court, yesterday rendered decision in the bank
ruptcy case OF Joseph NJ. HILL which, In view OF the
construction OF the amendments to the law passed
last June by Congress, contains very important
FEATURES for ltigants. The petition in this case IN
Involuntary bankruptcy was filed on the 18th OF
January, 1874. The order TO show cause was re-
turnabe on the Gath Of January. On that day the
debtor appeared and filed denial in the usual
form and demanded trial of the Court and an
order was made referring it to a Commissioner to
take the evidence. The commissioners report OF
the evidence was filed on the 9th OF March, the
matter was brought to hearing before the Court and
on the 18th Of March q memorandum, signed by
petition directing that order OF adjudication be
entered. NO such order was entered prior to
anne e. 1sa probably the creditor
tered. The Judge continues to say:-'I am now
asked to sign such an order nunc pro t1,ac, as OF

tion that the debtor on the 23d Of November, 1873

being merchant, stopped payment OF his CON-
mercial paper, and did not resume payment OF 1t
within period OF fourteen days. II the petition

made within the twenty days allowed for the
amendment IN regard to the number ana amount

In the case OF the Ttvor Brewing Company, a.

the petition because Il only stated that the party
had suspended payment Ior fourteen days. The
