California Democracy Recognized by the
President.
WASHINGTON, May 5th.-California re
ceiyed its first recognition to-day in the
| matter of local Federal offices in the APP
pointment of Stuart NJ Taylor to be Naval
Officer at the port of San Francisco. Tay-
lor was Endorsed for the place by Judge
| Field, but was not opposed by the Henley
| faction, and he and McCoppin were the
| only applicants for the place. 1t is said
that McCoppin, day or two ago, at the
request of Field, who was extremely anX-
ious to see Taylor get the place, Withdrew
| from the contest, leaving the field open to
| Taylor His reward for this will, ii is
said, be Fields influence in efforts to Sc
cure the Chinese mission. The appoint
| ment has no significance as showing which
! of the two factions the President will rec
| ognize, but it indicates that Buc&ley's in
| fiuence amounts to but little with
! the Administration Buckley, when
| here, filed a strong protest against
| Taylors appointment, and the
| fact that Taylor was given the place is
taken to indicate that Cleveland intends to
disregard the wishes of the gang. Whether
he will carry out this policy with the other
| offices III San Francisco is not known.
Taylor was the only applicant for the place
after McCoppin withdrew, and had Buckley
! had n man for the office the Presidents
policy would have been more apparent.
| The appointment to-day has revived the
spirits Of the California patriots, who have
| been waiting here since the Inauguration
| for their commissions. They think, now
| that the ice has been broken, the good
work viii SO on, and that all the Offices
will soon be filled. II is very likely how
! ever, that Cleveland will wait 10 see how
! this first appointment IS received before
| making any more.
| An Important Supreme Court Decision.
! WASHINGTON. May 5th-In the Supreme
| Court yesterday, an opinion was given in
several Union Pacific and Kansas Pacific
| Railway cases. The principal question in
| volved in these cases is whether suit
brought in State against corporation OF
| the United States may be removed by such
| corporation into the Circuit Court of the
| United States OF the ground of its being a
| corporation organized under the law Of the
United States. Justice Bradley delivered
the opinion Of the Court, holding that cor
| pCratiOus of the United States created by
and organized under Act Of Congress like
the plaintiff in error, in these cases, are en-
titled as such to remove into the Circuit
| Courts of the United States suits brought
against them in the State Courts under and
by virtue Of the Act Of May 8 1875, on the
ground that such are suits arising under
the laws OF the nited States Courts. 1t is
directed that the judgments i'll all cases be
reversed, and that the causes be remanded
with instructions to enter judgment in
accordance with the opinion OF the Court.
