court is charged with the duty of pronounce

eral issues of bonds made during the cor

CHAMBERLAIN. Some time ago the Attor-
ney-Gcncral, in behalf Of the State asked

secure the attendance of n very important

Gen. Hntlcr's Letter.

We printed yesterday we suppose our en-
terprising contemporary the Herah, would
take the trouble to say, under the same cir
cumstanccs. exclusively the letter Of Cen.
BUTLER In reply to the questions PROFOUND
ed to him by Mr.. DENNIS kEARNEY about the
powers of the State Of California in relation
to the Chinese.
Gen. Buffers letter is omncntly charac-
teristc OF the author. With lawycr-likc
manner and an air Of great solcmnty. he
writes an elaborate document, all through
which there runs semi-ludicrous vein, cal
culated TO leave the reader in doubt whether
he is in earnest or only pcrpetrating huge
joke.
Gen. BUTLER begins with the remark:
II am relieved. however. by the form OF your quc.
tons. which only relate to the Ifsr OF your state aud
not to the psoniav pis Of the action to be taken
He might have said:
You ask me it man has the power to swallow s,rych
hne and where 1t can he procured; you DO inquire
what effects It would produce. relieved by tie
form OF your question. and hasten to you that
man can swallow strychnine. aud that 1t be pro-
cured at almost any druggists
The precedcnts cited by Gen. BUTLER are
not particularly encouraging. Thus. in
proof OF the authority of n State to send
beyond Its borders any person deemed n
curse, he mentions the example OF the
Massachusetts, Puritans in expcling the
Quakers and Baptists-not very saVory
fragment Of Massachusetts, history-and
the Alien law of JOHN ADAMS, the most
odious law ever enacted in tho United
States
Still, Gen. BUTLER is clear and emphatic
In the expression OF his opinion that almost
anything may be done by the State of Cal
ifornia with the Chinese within its borders
II he had been asked If tho State has right
10 make mincc meat Of them, the fair infer
ence from his letter is that he would have
answered Yes.
Gen. BUTLER is an independent candidate
Tor Governor Of Massachusetts. But he Is
more than that; he is an independent cnu-
didate for President Of the United States. an
Office TO which he regards that Of Governor
as a mere stepping stone If the Chinese
question is paramount to all others in Cal
iiornia, as some represent it 10 be, this de-
cdcd letter of Gen. BUTLER may possibly
give him the vote OF that State for Prcsi
dent. 1t Is easy to denounce Gen. BUTLER
as a dcmagogue but that does not diminish
the tremendous hold lie has on great null
titude Of people. If he were to address a
political meeting in this city next week,
there would be such a turnout to hear him
as has hardly been witnessed since the
funeral of BILL" POOLE, whose career
was brought to mind yesterday by the death
of the man who killed him.
If Gen. BUTLER should visit California,
after the publication Of this letter, the en-
thusiasm for him would be great; but lac
would not be embraced or applaudcd by the
Chinese.
