The Railroad Tax Cases.
SAN FRANCISCO, September 29th.-Attorney-
General Marshall, in the United States Circuit
Court this forenoon, Justice Field and Judge
Sawyer on the bench, asked for an order that
the Central Pacific Railroad Company tender of
payment of taxes for 1883 be made good in five
days He said that he had prepared d stipula-
ton which he thought would be agreed to, and
moved that the Court take up the tax cases,
making first the order which he had suggested.
A clerk from D. NJ. Delmas' Office said that he
appeared to represent Mr. Delmas, who repre-
sents the Controller Mr.. Delmas is out of town,
and serious accident having happened to his
son he is detained Therefore a continuance
until next week was requested.
Creed Raymond said that he understood that
the motion of the Attorney General was that the
railroads should make good their tender. This
the roads are ready to do.
Justice Field-The Attorney General asks you
to pay the money in five days,
Mr.. Raymond said that il the order was made
and the roads failed to make good the tender
the benefit of 1t would be lost. The tender would
be made good

Mr. Raymond responded negatively, saving
that this was covered by stipulation.
Justice Flcld-Are you ready to pay the money
Mt Haymond-Yes sir. In our plea we deny
liability. We make no objection to the order.
We cannot make any. The Attorney-General
proposes now to submit these cases upon stipu-
latiens. | will examine these and answer to-
morrow morning by II o'clock 1t is merely
question of law. l have not examined the slip
ulatiOnS vet.
Justice Ficld-Mr Marshall, how far do you
recognize Mr. Delmas as an attorney in these
cases?
Mr. Marshall said that he had refused to recog-
nize Mr.. Delmas as far as could be for he was
added Later Counsel fol the Controller had been
Messrs Baggctt and Waymire. He thought that
there was Il limit to the Controllers powers in
the matter of the appointment of attorneys.
| The Controller had named two and that was suf
ticient. He had not end never would recognize
Mr.. Delmas more than WaS necessary in Court
nor ont of Court. He sent him anOte, not recog-
nizing him an attorney, but for fear of some
obstructive process. He feared also that there
fmight be some reopening of the Stockton Con

row.
Fruit. Growers Convention.
SAN FEANCIScO September 29th.-The third
annual gathering of the fruit growers of Califor-
MIA was called to-day at o'clock i'll this city in
the rooms Of the Chamber of Commerce. At
o'clock few fruit-gfowcrs had appeared, and it
was doubted whether the first day of the session
! would bring a large attendance. The intention
is To prOlong the session until Saturday, and ii
is thought that enough of interest can be brought
up to ill the time probably to all horticulture
| lists. The present officers are the following
named: President EllWood Cooper of Santa
| Barbara; Treasurer, General NJ. J. Vallejo; In
! SpcctOr of Fruit Pests, s F. Chaplin: Secretary
| II. Webb, of Oakland. The first annual meeting
was held at san Jose, the second in San Fran
cisco. The gathering occurred in November
last year, which was a more convenient time
for the attendance Of truit-grOwerS than is this
because now the fruit men are very busy and
the season of agricultural fairs is at hand. The
reason for meeting earlier is the necessity for
/ having the annual report, which must 20
through the hands of the public printer, ready
for the Legislature at lis regular session.
At about 80 o clock, G. y. Milco OF stockton,
Commissioner from san Joaquin District called
the meeting to order. DR.. kimball and Prof
Iiilgard were nominated to preside Dr. Kim
| ball declined to accept, aud Prof. Hilgard was
elected by acclamatiOn. J. V. Webster of Fruit
vale, Judge Blackwood Of Haywards. and \. r
| Hatch of SOlanO, were elected Nice-PresidentS
Mr.. Webb and Mir. WiXOn were elected Secre-
taries. Mr. Wixou declined to serve because of
inability 20 be present ut every session but the
fruit-grOWers refused TO accept the dec nation
and added rs another Secretary, Rev Mr.
Perkins of Oakland. L. J. Irumbull of san
Fr9nclscO, was elected Treasurer. Prof. Hill
gard, on taking the chair as presiding officer
made q brief address. He anticipated good
attendance at the session. and attributed lack
OF attendance t. day TO the fact that the meet
ing had not been made widely known. At the
close Of his remarks the work OF organization
was farther perfected by the election Of a Com
mittec on Order Of Business aud Programme.
