SAN Francisco, May 25.-In the Board
OF Supervisors last night it was expected
that the question of water supply would
be settled, but when brought up it was
decided to let it lie over one week to
allow the Board and city officials to
make personal inspection of the prop
erty. Another better reason was intro
duced in the shape of communication
from the San Francisco and Alameda
Water Company, that the company
owned the water right of Calaveras VAL
ley and their title had been confirmed by
the Supreme Court. This was referred
TO the committee on water supply for ac-
ton, with the advice of the CITY and
County Attorney.
MARYsvILLE. May 24.-The funeral of

Haworth G. II. Patterson, N. D. Pid-
cout, John d. Jewett, L. J. Ashford and

posted in the City Cemetery beside
those of his wife and children.
AT 3 o'clock this morning the Vande-
we're House was discovered to be on fire.
The fire was extinguished before the en-
glnes arrived. A close examination
showed that the premises had been set
on lire in seven different places-three
in the cellar and four in the unner
stories. A liberal supply of kindline-
wood and Kerosene was used. This is
the second attempt to burn this building
within the past two months.

PENNSYLVANIA Political PROSPECTS.
1t is conceded that the Gubernatorial
race in Pennsylvania in the November
election will be exciting. and that its
result is very doubtful. Governor Hart
ranft will be renominated by the Repub-
licans, and the standard-b bearer of the
Democracy will be the ablest man to be
found. At the last election the two most
active political workers in the State,
Forney and Mcclure, both bitterly OPP
posed Hartranft. Mcclure, who now
edits a paper of his own in Philadelphia,
will doubtless adhere to the same line Of
policy; but there are intimations that
Forney, whose Press came near going
into the hands of his old friend, Mcclure
has settled his difficulties, and is pre-
pared to give his party an undived sup
port. This may insure Hartranft's re-
election, though Mcclure, with his
Times, is formidable rival journalist

It turns ont that ex-Secretary Richard
son has also become involved in the rail-
road iron entangement which has so
hopelessly enmeshed Secretary Robson.
When jay Cooke X Co. and the First
National Bank of Washington failed
about two years ago it was shown that
Secretary Richardson had let the bank
have fractional currency to the amount
OF nearly $500, 600 without security, no
part CT which could be obtained. There
was much curiosity shown at the time by
the 'venal press to learn how this loan
was made, but Mr.. Richardson could
only say that he deposited it in the Ma
tlonal Bank in order to secure "a wider
distribution of fractional currency, and
that the Government was amply secured.
1t has now come to light that the only
security the Government had was por-
ton Of the identical railroad iron which
Robeson accepted for his loan of $4,000
to Jay Cooke Il Co. Mr.. Richardson
certainly succeeded in securing "a wider
distribution Of fractional currency" but
the people will be apt to impress upon
his successors the propriety of confning
the distribution in future to limits not
quite so wide.-[S. F. Post.

SENATOR B0oTH's SPEECH. - The
speech OF Senator Booth on wednesday
evening indicates that his heart remains
untouched by the pathetic appeals of
certain Republican organs to place him.
self IN the rear Of Sargent and Gorham.
and help them 10 win victory. There
is no uncertain tone in the speech. IL
is war on both parties as now led and
used. He is particularly severe on that
element OF Republican leadership which
desires to perpetuate the animosities en-
gendered by the war Travelling through
all parts of the country and talking noli-
ties with all classes of people. Mr..
Booth finds few who are not aware that
the rebellion has been put down. They
are tolerably well informed on that sub
ject in the South, and it is only n few
place-hunters in the North of a Bour-
bonic cast of mind who want 10 FIGHT the
battles over again. These men mostly
were not at the front during the late un-
pleasantness. They were looking ont
for the offices. They are still willing ia
perform the duty they assigned to them
selves 10 the end of time. Their num-
Der is small-about equal. Mr.. Booth
thinks, to the number OF inmates of tbn
different Insane Asylums throughout the
country.-IS. f, Call, 81.

SECRETARY RoBEsoN's LIABILITY. The
Supreme Court decision in the jay
Cooke iron case, relative to Secretary of
the Navy Robson oaning the moribund
firm of Jay Cooke, McCulloch & Co.,
some two years ago, a million dollars on
the security of quantity of heavily
mortgaged railroad iron, will make that
officer account to the Government. The
Courts decision is very satisfactory
one to all who oppose such loose way
of managing governmental affairs as that
OF turning the Naval Department into
pawnshop for the benefit OF personal
friends. More than one Cabinet officer
may be called on by the next Congress
for an account of his stewardship, and
that Congress is not likely to be a lenent
one.-[S. F. Call.
