The Bank Of California, the greatest

The Bank of California, the greatest
moneyed institution on the Pacific ccoast,
closed its doors on the 26th OF August,
having paid over its counters on that
day, 81 400, 900. The President of the
I,ank stated that It would not reopen.
He also stated that it was able to pay
all OF its obligations. According to
statements made, the bank had been
doing business latterly OF from $780,
100000 to s27 ,o0O,o 600 daily. It is
thought the business of the country will
not be retarded to any great degree by
the failure of this hank; and that money
will soon be thrown in sight to move

The progress of Democratic retroac-
ton is worthy close observation. just
now, three Southern States are discuss
ing the election of delegates to Consti-
tutional Conventions. These States are
North Carolina, Alabama and Texas.
The country is not left in doubt as to
the purposes sought through the con-
vening of these bodies. AS q paturalist
is able to frame the skeleton of an un-
known animal from ore bone, SO the
whole process can be illustrated by any
one preceding example. If any diff
Guilty could be experienced, tie condi-
tions now existing in Missouri, where a
Democratic convention is engaged in
framing new State Constitution, would
leave none. In that body, called under
an ingenious system of ''gerrymander-
ing" SO that minority of the people
could dictate te the majority thereof,
the public school system has been as
sailed, and its efficiency will be greatly
| impaired. Under similar motives, the
territorial idea of representation in place
OF population, has been SO incorporated
that not only have minority of 844, $40
persons, living in 90 counties, been given
38 members more than majority num-
bering S76, S06, living III "a counties,
but the system will require these latter
to increase their population to over one
million persons before they can have an
equal share in the government of the
State. 1t is barely possible that the en-.
tire instrument will be rejected at the
| polls, but that is almost too mnch to
hope for i'll State where there is a
Democratic majority. This majority
owes its present position to the fifty
thousand or more Republican votes that
in 1871 divided their party, in order to
remove disqualifying provisions from
the Constitution of that date.
