he retnrned to this State After coming to California for the second time Marshall was for a time Assistant District Attorney of 8aa Franeiscc nnder I Smoott In 1882 he was elected hAttornev Geheral of the State on the Democratic ticket along with Governor Stoneman Shortly after he became embroiled with his party over his official action in the matter of back taxes due from the Southern Pacific tothe State The company was contesting payment on the ground that the assessments under the new Constitution were illegal and there was great popular feeling against the railroad managers The failure to pay railroad taxes very much embarrassed the State government and aroused astorm of popular denuhciaiidru At this juncture the Southern Pacific offered to pay a large sum into the State treasury without prejudice to eithersidein the litigation John Dhnnv then State Controlleri refused to certify this money into the treasury claiming that he had no powfer to receive part Of thfr taxes due under an assess ment that all must be paid when dne or the less penalties exacted on the whole sum as delincihent Attorney General Marshall however took the responsibility of taking the monev some SL280000 and receiDtinz for it The Controller refused to rtceive it from him and only after long litigation covered it into the treasury under ah nrder issued bv the SuDreme Court In the meantime the United States Supreme Court had declared the assessment Ooeia vioiatiou oi uits reueiuvoaium tioh which nlaced Marshall in the rxsst tionof holding this vast sum which the railroad had taid
