THE COMING OF PRESIDENT HAYES.

The CUmlNG VI PRESIDENT HAYES
Concerning the coming of President Hayes
to which reference was made yesterday, il
has been ascertained through semi-officia
sources that General Mcdowell, as Com
mander of the Military Division of the Pa
cifc, viii proceed from San Francisco on the
9TH of September with members of his staff
and others, and meet President Hayes at
Reno on the Sth, welcome him and party
and escort them to San Francisco. On the
9th the President and party will be in Oak
land and attend the Admission Day" cele-
bration, when Governor Perkins and staff
will also be present, and the First Artillery
Regiment, Colonel Raymond, will form part
of the escort. On the 10th the party will
rest. On the 18th they will be the special
guests of General Mcdowell, enjoy a sail
about San Francisco Bay, and be entertained
by the General at his quarters at Black
Point. After that the President and party
will proceed upon one of the tours to points
of interest on the coast, two or three of which
are in contemplation. 1t is the intention and
expectation that the President and party will
be present at the State Fair. which begins on
the 10th of September, invitations extended
by the State Board of Agriculture having
been accepted. Regarding the visit of the
President to the Capitol, which is to occur at
such an suspicious time-the recurrence of
the annual exposition of the industry and
production of the State-there has, since yes
terday, been much public comment It is
generally expressed that the State Fair pro-
gramme will, in itself, make up in large
degree fitting exercises for the entertainment
of the party but that it is meet and proper
that other details shall be arranged,
and that the capital city should
join in the formal welcome, and send
delegation to the State line to greet him, as
the State Board of Agriculture will also
probably do. At that time also, it is said,
the delegation can make definite arrange
ments with the party concerning the more
detailed reception here, about the Dist or 22d,
and the hour of its arrival, that the people
may have timely information of the
fact. Concerning the suggestion that
the Governor be requested to join
in the welcome by the city, it is
ascertained that the Governor expresses
delicacy concerning it which may be taken
to amount to deolination in advance, be be-
ing understood to hold that it is more proper
for the municipality to act Independently of
and not rely upon him, and that any recep-
ton by him must properly be held at the
State Department. But it is said by those
who are, it is assumed, authorized to speak
for the Governor, that he may determine TO
pro ,eed to the State line and meet the Presi-
dent. of his own motion, and welcome him
there in behalf of the State.
ADULTERY. AS EXPLAINED BY STATUTE
The cases of Mrs. Bauer and Mckee came up
for their examination yesterday upon the
charge of adultery, with the badly shot coat
and dress and the shivered bed-post as cir
cumstantial witnesses, but it is claimed that
under the statute even the confession of the
parties TO the act would not make a case of
adultery, and that nothing short of open and
habitual cohahitation would constitute that
offense. Without any reference therefore to
the absolute facts in the present cases, the de-
PENDANTS were both discharged. The follow
ing Is the statute upon the subject. Section
l. Every person who lives in state of open
and notorious cohabtation and adultery is
guilty of a misdemeanor, and is punishable
by fine OF not exceeding $1,000, or impris-
onunent II the County Jail not exceeding one
year. Section ?. II two persons, each being
married to another live together in state of
open and notorious cohabitation and adultery,
each is guilty OF a felony, and punishable
by imprisonment in the State Prison not
exceeding five years" It Is held that under
this statute single acts Of in6delity, which
would be regarded and punished as adultery
In most States, and even any number of like
otfenses, prOmiscuoUs or otherwise so long
as they do not become matter of mo
toriety,' do not come under the prohibition of
the Legislature, are not regarded as an Of
tense by the law, and have no penalty except
by pistol or shotgun. There was considera-
bic talk yesterday after the discharge Of the
defendants in favor OF the shooting policy on
sight in such cases, as the only protection for
marital honor, in the absence of any law
reaching the case, and that it would be diff
cult to find juries TO convict fer wholesale and
Premeditated shooting in such cases.

is hoas, Of i'll fame. The will appointing

ton, whereas Gale, after getting possession OF
