The above bonds were purchased by the State
Board of Examiners for the benefit of the State
school fund. S. z. MAsLIN, Secretary.
Ten of the bonds have since been re-
deemed by Los Angeles county. After the
sale of the 100000 in bonds fell through,
Los Angeles county offered to sell the State
800. 600 more of its bonds. The State Board
of Examiners purchased them, and the GER
tifcate of this purchase is as follows:
OFFICE OF STATE BOARD OF EXAMINERS,
SACRAMENTO. June 26. 1889.
For SOL, 800 presented by County Treasurer Los
Angeles county for ninety bonds is approved for
the sum of s91 500, payable out of the State
School Land Fund, fortieth fiscal year.

SACRAMENTO. June "a, 1889.

Angeles county, D. Q. Mills d Co.. attorneys.
To ninety bonds of Los Angeles county, issued
January 8, 1887, of 81, 600 each par value 81 OF,
SOL SEQ. Purchased by the State Board of Ex-
aminers for the use and benefit of the State
school fund 5. T. MAsLIN, Secretary.
State Controller Damn, on an examina-
ton of the 100000 in bonds found that,
while they were correct in regard to the
date of the approval of the Act under
which they were issued, thy were defect
i've by reason of the fact that the names of
the present Auditor and Chairman of the
Board of Supervisors should not have been
signed thereto, as they were not the county
officials when the bonds were issued. There
fore he refused to draw his warrant.
A few weeks ago Los Angeles county
finally did effect a sale of its bonds, the
amount being 100000. Following is
copy of one of the bonds:
This bond is issued by the Board of Super
visors of said county in conformity with the
resolutions of said Board OF date the 9th day of
September, and the 9th and Doth days of Deeem-
Der A. d. 1856 and under authority conferred
upon said Board by the provisions of an Act of
the Legislature of California, entitled an Act to
establish uniform system of Township and
County Governments, approved March IA, 1853.
Accompanying the bonds was the opin-
ion of Lieutenant Governor White that
they were in proper form, and that they
did not contain q flaw. When the Con-
troller's attention was called to the defect
in the $i55, 600 issue, he stated that it was
true he did not draw his warrant for the
purchase of the 10000 in bonds contain
ing the same error as the S155, 900 issue, for
the reason tdat he thought it would be hest
to be on the safe side. He declared, how
ever, that notwithstanding the glaring
errors the 1856, 600 in bonds were perfectly
good, and that they would not be repu-
dated by the Los Angeles county officials,
who would redeem them before and as
they became due.

A man boiling over with rage got off the
train last evening, and rushed over to
Agent Baird, to whom he addressed some
language that was calculated to completely
aunihilate everv one of the railroad at
taches for miles around. He had a saw in
his hand, and waved it about as though he
meant to hurt some one if he did not Sc
cure the satisfaction for which he seemed
to be looking. On being asked to calm
himself and talk intelligently he dropped
the saw, and said he would hunt up the
conductor and whip him or get whipped
himself Subsequently it was learned that
the man was from Sacramento, and wanted
to get eff at Lincoln, but was asleep when
the train passed there, aud as no one knew
where he was going he was not called. be

to chastise that dignitary all the way up
after he had discovered that he had passed

GOVERNOR FOwLE'S MESSAGE TO
THE LEG1sLAlTCRE.

In his message last week, Gov
ernor Fowle, in regard to the man
sqement of the affairs Of the pen,
itentiary by the nine directors said ::
| do not believe, gentlemen OF the
Ge.7ersl Assembly, that there are
nipe men in the State, who, under
these circumstances, can produce
the result which you de sire and the
people' demand.
have therefore asked the ques-
ton, can the present system be
amended or changed so that the af-
fairs Of the penitentiary can be pro-
perIy attende d to without adding to
the present expenses CT the estab-
lishnent? think it can be done,
and with deep solicitude as to your
concurrence, but at the same time
DESTROYS Of discharging my duty to
the State, venture to state how.
The expenses of the present board
of nine directors amounts to the sum
Of $500 for each director-$2, 700 ;
and expenses, say, 5000; total
$4,000.
The labor they are able, as a
board, to give / have already stated,
Now suppose commissioner OF the
penitentiary should be selected. and
9 good business man should be ap-
pointed to the place, with a salary
of, say, 81 800, and require him to
give his entire time to his work
allow him a clerk with a salary. say.
Of 81, 900, and abolish the compensa
ton of the present board, and app
point a board to serve like the board
of the Asylum for the Deaf, Dumt
aud Blind, without compensation
and I think the gain to North Caro-
lima will be Immense. In thinking
this matter over it has suggested it
self to me that no business man hav
ing a mercantile or agricultural bust
ness involving so much money would
. for an instant think of placing his
fortunes within the management O.
