drove to the State House.
The republican House and Senate
are in session, but have taken no i'm
poftant action.
The committee appointed by the

House is legally constituted, and ask
the withdrawal of troops from that
building, andif refused,to demand by
what authority troops are retained
there.
The democratic House has also in
structed the Judiciary committee to
employ counsel and proceed against
ID. III. Chamberlain for REASONABLE
acts in usurping the government
of the State ; also directing the COM
mittee to ascertain and report what
counties are not represented in the
House.

ter, of the Third Judicial Court this
evening, issued a temporary injunc-
ton on complaint of taxpayers, en-
joining two banks in this city which
arc the State depositorys Of public

SAN FRAsorsco, July 1.-THE Ger
man bondholders OF the California Pa
cific railroad and the directors Of the
Central Pacific to-day submitted an
agreed case to the Nineteenth District
Court, asking decision with considera-
ton as to the validity Of the endorse
ment Of the bonds OF the California Pa
ciic by the Central Pacific, to enable the
parties to at once take the case on appeal
TO the Supreme Court.
The Judge rendere pro faHla decision,
holding the endorsement as valid. The
case will at once go up on an appeal. The
object Of the procedure is evidently, by
4 favorable decison Of the Supreme
Court, TO override the recent decision Of
the 4th district court in the case Of the
stockholders against the directors Of the
Central Pacific, declaring lthe endorse
ment invalid, and enjoining Of the inter-
est on the bonds.
