The effect Of the decision In The case Of
Iesasser Il Binder before Judge Monroe,
making the bonds OF the State In favor Of the
Consolidated Planters Association f1ndable,
cannot be 50 serious, oven II affirmed by the
Supreme Court, az some people imagine The
amount Of liability for the consolidated asso-
citation Is only s50o,oDo, for which the State
holds mortgages upon property which III can
apply to the reduction Of this sum No law
can divest She State Of It's rights and interests
In these mortgages. As for the Citizens
Bank, the mortgages to secure the State are
abundantly sufficient to release the State.
There Ia little chance of the holders of these
bonds applying to have them funded at sixty
cents when the State holds mortgages on
twenty millions Of dollars on good real estate
for their payment Without discussing the
legal and hechnical question as to the char
acter Of the States liability: whether 1t ls a
direct or contingent one, and whether these
bonds are fundable under the strict pruvis-
lens Of the law, there can be no apprehension
that the State debt will be increased by this

Disappointed Cabinet Officers.

A Washington telegram to the
Philadelphia Press says: The fire.
quency of the Presidents trips out
of the city has become such that
he seems to have abandoned the
custom of notifying the heads of
the Executive Departments of the
intended absence. AS the result of
this oversight the White House to.
day was the scene of an amusing
episode in its routine of official
duties and semi-weekly Cabinet
convocations. At noon, this being
the regular Cabinet day, Secre-
tarles SchufZ, McCrary and
Thompson and Postmaster-General
Key one by one repaired to tn e
Executive Mansion, bearing their
immense portfolios filled with
public papers under their arms,
and several seated themselves ut
the Cabinet table. The windows
were open, and the elegant lace
curtains, swaying in the fresh
breezes blowing up from the Ches-
apeake and the Potomac, produced
q grateful sense of relief from the
torrid heats of the avenues. There
was a significant stiffness, howev-
er, about the mansion, though eve-
ryth1ng was open; not even a mes
senger had put in an appearance.
The junta of executive statesmen
conversed little while and then
began to wonder at the Presidents 8
absence. Finally an usher, uncon.
scious of the poHderous amount Of
mental acumen assembled in the
adjacent room, began a summer
days refrain, which was unexpecl-
edIy interrupted by the appear
auce Of a Cabinet officer< Th.
usher looked startled for moment,
but recovering himself sufficiently,
without awaiting formal interro-
CATION, informed him that the
President and family, Secretary
Sherman and General Devens had
left for the Wyoming Centennial
about two hours before.

LIEU TENANT GENERAL KEAR-

LIEU TENANT GENERAL KEAR-
NEY has started for the East. The
presumption is that the Lieaten
ant. General means to agitate mat
ters. In view of the fact that, in
California, the home of novelties,
the Workingman's party, in the
first year Of its being, only secured
q scant third Of the Constitutional
Convention of this State, we are
tempted to look upon the Generals
mission as an abortive one. There
are nineteen chances 10 one in
twenty that he will fall as fiat as a
pancake and that his final resting
place will he terra firma and the
point of contact with solid ground
his seat of honor. Kearney and
Kearbeyism have risen tc the dig
nifty of travesty and nothing
more. Bottom the Weaver Is away
In advance of the sand lot orator.
The whole thing, from Kearney
standpoint, is invested with an at
mosphere of "sound and fury, sig-
nifying nothing"

THE old era of ten and fourteen
mule teams in our streets has been
revived, of late, at least tempora-
rily. The barley and other grains
of Mr.. Nadeau are being conveyed
to Naud's warehcus on Alan eda
street. Mr.. Nadeau has been un-
usually successful in his barley
crop, considering the season. The
ground sowed by himself and Mr..
Frye, on the Brea ranch, compris.
ing fifteen hundred acres, is yield
Ing an average of twenty-five
sacks to the acre. We are inclined
to think that the event will prove
that there has been great deal of
unnecessary grumbling in this
county about crops. That we had
too much rain, and that much bar
ley and W heat were lodged, are un-
doubted facts, but the area sown
In grain was so large, and the yield
over large sections of the county
has been so great, that we shall
come out very satisfactorily, after
all.

Charleston Convention. The am
bition to be Governor OF Massa-
chusetts has remained with him
ever since. And the chances are
that his hopes are nearer fruition
now than at any previous time of
his career. When asked, a few
days ago, whether he proposed to
run for Governor of the Bay State,
he svaded the question by say ~ng
that he would never again run for
Congress. If Butler, by some po-
lItical hocus -pocus, can manage to
get both the Democratic and
Greenback nominations lie will
undoubtedly achieve his long cher
ished mbition and break the pre-
ciscian ring which has so long con-
trolled the staunch old common

eighteen years ago, was the Demo-

have been expected, he then en-
countered disastrous defeat. That
