THE CALIFORNIA GEOLOGICAL sURVEY.

THE CALIFORNIA GEOLOGICAL SCRVEY.
The Legislature of California now in session
has duty before it, in the proper perform
ance of which the country at large is almost
as much interested as the people of the State.
The geological survey of California, which has
been carried on under the superintendent
of Prof. J. d. Whitney, one of the
ablcst and most distinguished gcOlOgists
and men of science America has produced,
has given the State n reputation not only here,
but abroad, for liberality and enlightened
public spirit of which its people may well be
proud-even though the neglect of recent
Legislatures to supply means for its compile
ton has been a discredt to those bodies. No
better. more arluous, or more satisfying work
Of this kind has been done in any country,
even in Europe, than the great survey car
ricd ont by Prof. Whitney.
Begun in 1860, the work has been carried
on with great economy of means. and would
have stopped long ago had it not been for
the self sacrificing devotion 10 science Of the
head Of tho Survey. and OF the able body of
younger men whom his fame and skill drew

1t is reported from Japan that the foreign
ministers resident are using the Simonoseki
claims as leverage TO obtain additional CON
cessions from the Government. At present
several foreign powers maintain an ex-
territorial jurisdiction in the Empire; but the
native authorities strongly object, the consul
lar courts being, as they say, a reflection upon
their civilization. Why should Americans, for
example, maintain in Yokohama cOurt of
their own, which would not be permitted in
any European capital The foreigners ask for
a complete opening of the country; the Japa-
nese, finding that ex-territorial rights are to
be tenaciously retained demur TO this demand
and even withdraw some of the privileges
granted outside of treaty obligations. In re-
taliation, the foreigners press the payment OF
the indemnity due on account of the firing on
foreign ships from the SimOnOseki forts (; but,
it is complacently added these payments will
he met as fast rs they become due. Consider
ing that our Government has been discussing
the eXpedency of returning Our share of the
indemnity, it is 10 be hoped that our Minister
to Japan has not been engaged in this late
disreputable squeezing business.

Judge Durelrs case, as later particulars
come out, looks rather black. The famous
midnight order by which he turned the tenn
porary State-house into the hands of the kel-
logg ring, appears to have been sort OF
judicial ukase. 1t was issued without seal or
signature of the court clerk and on nobody
motion In financial affairs this maker and
unmaker Of sovereign States seems to have
been equally self-contained. BY series of
judicious orders, it is alleged, Judge Darrell
threw an exaggerated business in bankruptcy
fees into the hands of a convenient person.
and complaint was neatly stopped by another
order requiring each complaint to pay filing
fee of $50. Really, the honorable Judge ought
to be looking after that desired diplomatic
appointment for which he manfcsts a decided
genius.

Milwaukee, Sept. Is. The injunction is
sued by the Supreme Court to-day applies to
all railroads and parts of railroads in the
State except the Milwaukee and Prairie
Du Chen division of the Milwaukee and St.

ton is that this line is the successor of a road
holding an old TERRITORIAL charter, and hence
it is not subject to the clause in the State con.
stiution which authorizes the legislature to
order or repeal the charter.
