To the Federaietl Trades and Labor Unions of Hie J'acijic Voast Gentlk-men: Iain in receipt of your communication of the 4th ultimo, which has been duly placed before tho Seamen's Union and Cook? and St-: wards' Uni-in.

After mature consideration, and after interviewing Captain llayward, and reading communications from J. D. Sprcckels. the ioliowing couro cf action has been adopted, viz: 'Hie Maripos i to be supplied with as many union hands in this port as required, on her arrival at San Fr uici--o, all Chinese to b2 discharged and the three men demanded by you to bo taken. Captain Huyward has given us t- unders and that this bj done, and on these conditions the Mariposa leaves Sydney, bhould she return here again with Chinese she will stay until she takes Europeans.

This J. 1. Spreckels and Haward th-r-oughlv understand. We deemed it better in jour interests that the Chinese should be discharged at San Francisco, so that eniploynien which properly belongs there, should not be tiken away from that port.

What are your reasons, Governor, for this inion was asked.

"Why, simply that neither country wants anv trouble. When that is the case it is generally difficult to get up a broil." "Do you believe the General Mexican Government i3 disposed to settle the Cutting case in a proper way?" "That is exactly what I mean. Diplomatic correspondence is going forward in regard to the matter, and there is practically no doubt that everything will be satisfactorily adjusted in (iua time. It would take but little to incite a revolution in Mexico, and matters havo to be conducted with care, but we are satisfied that Presi tent Diaz is disposed to do all he can in the matter, and it is with him that we are dealing."

JUDGE TERRY ACTS A8 rRCSECCTOR. On reassembling Judge Ttrry was on hand and act as prosecutor, and Sol Heydenfeldt. rn ex-Justioo of the Supreme Court, was the t.rst witness. He tesiided that it was the general opinion ani the bar of the State that the present supreme Court is very weak. The lawyers generally cIhss Morrison as a very Judge, especially since his illness.

1 he business oi tne ou: is more in ar-rear now than ever beioro in the history cf the Court. The gcnetal oj inion of the bar was thai it was some th-ee years behind. Only on last Saturday the witness had talked with JusUee Sharpstein, who said that the accumulating and would in all likelihood con iuue 10 do ml Sharpstein said that the CVuimUoioners weis no help to the Court. "I think." continued Mr. Heydenfeldt, "that unless something is done by the governing powers something terrible would happen perhaps a revolution." A REORGANIZATION NECESSARY.

Terry Do you not think that seven Justices, brilliant legal men. could handle the business of the Couit "1 should must certainly think so," was the reply. When the witness had sat upon the bench there was an average of UQ cases decidt every year. No blockade resulted the busine being bandied easily. "Do you not tl.n.k the Court should le reorganized asked Terry.

"it should be, mot decidedly," was the positive reply. "I think and believe it to be the universal opinion that the present is the worst system ever known." A.

He thought that members of 'he bar hail given their opinion ot the Justices to him confidentially, but admitted finally that they were against tho competency of the Court. He did not think that Morrison was pro, erlr discl.arc-in-r the duii nt his oilice, and was aware McKeo generally acted as Justice- He thunght the interests of litigants would be ubserved by a re-organiz tion of the Court.

The busine--s of the urt was far in arrears. One sick Jutk-o would, in the opinion of the witness, delay business a great deal. BAR ASSOCIATION MKMORIAL.

Its appearance is similar to that of Paris alter the Commune. It is feared there are numerous deaths resulting from the riots which have taken niace which will never be heard of.

The hospitals are taxed io -he utmost to accommodate the trreat number of wounded persons in need of attendance. A painful feature of the riots is the number of children wounded.

The conspirators, the report says, will go from New York to Paris and there await a favorable opportunity for entering England-The Home Office has notified the French Government of the matter. Some of the Home Department officials declare that they believe the whole enterprise, as reported from New York, is merely a renewal of O'Donovan Rossa's demonstrations in order to raise money.

The noon train from San Francisco to d-iy brought up heavy delegation of attirneys who are to give testimony before tho Special Com mittee on the Terry charges. Among the delegation wore Charles Ackerruan, J.

W. Winaas, John Garber, T. B. Bishop, It. Harrison, A.

P. Hayne. 1. Hose. Burnette, Stoncy and Pringle.

They were intensely anxious to have their testimony taken immediately that they might return in the aftcrncon. Barney Vo-lf was sent out to scour the town and find the mem bers of the committees Ho could only find one or two, however, and it was decided that nothing could be done until 4. p. the hour set for continuing the hearing. The feeling among the I.rigtitionists to night is one gratiiication.

The proceed ing in the House to Bhow that thirty five members are lirm in their determi nation to repeal Sec ion lii.2 of the civil code, and that three members now absent with three more already here, will vote for the repeal when it comes to a square test, is assured. The measure will, in ail probability go to a second reading to morrow and pass the House by Friday. A two-thirds vo'e, it is thought, cm be se cured to pass the amendment providing for special legislation on the subject of ir rigation, which will place the next Legis lature in a position to act. If this result can be attained, the session will have been called to good purpose. The investigation of tho Terry charges will undoubtedly result la the defeat of the San Joaquin lawyer; but it has proven to tho satisfaction of all that a re oiganizution of the Supreme Court is All the lawyers who have appeared as witnesses admit that a change is necessary.

The talk of an early adjournment has moderated somewhat to-night, as the statesmen a- beginning to appreciate the fact that something must be done. From present appearances the solons will hold together till the middle of next week. COtlKITTEK WORK. Proposed Constilotloaal Amendment InJrr ronst.lera'lon. Sacramento, August 9.

The Assembiy Commi: tee on Constitutional Amendments met this mo nftig and considered consti tutional amen Imcnt No. 8, introduced iu the Assembly by Goucher. The mea-ni is similar to th it introduced by Senator Bed dy. The latter gentleman a peared be fore the committee and explained tho in tent and meaning of the amendment. After several hours' discussion several words were stricken out and the measure indorsed.

Beddy agreed with Britt of Lake that the amendment should dis tinctly state that the various irrigation districts should ray for tho work contemplated, lie was allowed time to place sucn a provision in tne Dili. A amended thus far, it reads as follows 1 lhe Legislature shall have rower anytnmg io me contrary in in is uonstitu tion twiinstanding to nrovide for tha ston.geof any and the distribution of ail the waters which are now or may here after become tne property or lhe stale, for the purposes of irrigation, mining, and her beneficial uses: and may establish or provide lor the establishment of irrigation or water districts, and delegate to the directors, ustees. or other eovernimr body in such districts, the i ower to fix the boundaries of and provide for a system of drainage for such districs; to make by- laws i-na regnta ions ior tne government thereof, not in conflict or inconsistent with the laws of the State; the power to levy taxes on property in the district for district purposes; to lis the times and places ui iiuiuiii(( aim uuiiii iiurpust. The legislature may also confer on such irrigation or water districts the power or right of eminent domain, and such other cowers as it may deem necessarv. not in conflict or inconsistent with the laws of the State.

THE SUPREME COCRT. Tho sub-committee appointed to prepare measure for the reorganization of the Supreme Court, in accordance with the in structions of the Assembly, reported back an amendment to the Constitution, which will be recommended for passage. The onlv important change made in the pres ent la is a provision that no case shall be beard in bank after having been argued in partment unless threo Justices shall so recommend. Tho -salaries of the Justices are raised to $9,000 per year, and those of Superior Judges in San Francisco, Alamed Santa Clara. Sacramento, Butte, Los ana xoio counties to $5,000.

It was admitted by the sub-committee that the bill would mak no change what ever in the personnel of the Court. an important meeting. The Assembly Committee on Constitu tional Amendments held an important meeting to-night. Goucher'a amendment (No. 81, considered this morning, was sent back with the recommends tion that it do not pass, i ule amendment (o 2) was amended and recommended for passage, and will be pushed by the irrtgationists.

It reads as follows: 1 be watc of all streams within the State are the property of the public and are dedicated to tne use of the people of the State. Such waters may be diverted ana usea irrigation and other beneficial purposes, under regulations prescribed by law. provided that the navigation in navigable streams subject to the control of the United States, and the rights now acquired to appro; liate. divert and use water shall not be impaired. The English common law of riparian light, so far as the same mar be in conflict with this section, shall not be recognized as a rule of decision in any of the Courts of the State.

Amendment No. 10. by ule, providing for a recommendation of the Supreme Court, was sent back to the house without recommendation, as were amendments Nos. 5. 9 and 1 Amendments Nos.

WASniNGTOJT, August 9. Secretary Lamar to day decided lhe case of Fleming and others, involving 2,300 acres of swamp land situated in Pan Joaquin county. It appears that while these lands were declared to be swamp in 18G6 and turned over by the General Government to the State of California, yet thmugh an over-eight a patent was never issued. Advantage was taken of this omission, no; withstanding that the lands had been reclaimed and are now under a high ftate of eu'tivation and had charged hands several times. The Secretary, in his decision to-day.

holds thnt it was settled by the Interior Department that the lands were swamp and belonged to the State, and therefore it would now be unjust to disturb the present titles. CQmSSIONS SIGNED.

Secretary Bayard Show the Impor tame or the Matter. Baltimoke, August 9. Secretary Bayard, speaking to a Sun correspondent last night of the Cutting case, said he saw no reason why a satisfactory adjustment of the lifil ill should not be reached.

He had been assured that such was the desire the Mexican Government by the resident Mexican Minister, who said some days ago that his Government would act rromp ly in the ma ter. Secretary Bayard saidimpressively that he considered the principle involved in the Cutting at'air one of the greatest imi ortance, and one as to which the whole country, without reference to should be a unit. The per-onal merits or demerits of Cutting himself h- nothing to do with the matter. It made no ditlerence whether he be angel of or an angel of lifrht, but it did make the greatest possible difference to the American people whether the contention rai ed by the State Department in his be maintained or not. Mi xico claims the right to try an American citizen fort.nortense committed in the United ates, and Cutting actually has been convicted and sentenced for a libel published in Texas.

Mr. thinks this raises the gravest possible Question, and if the claini of Mexico is core conceded no American traveling in Mexico will be safe. "My countrymen." he with evident feeling, "will not be deceived by rtisan misrepresentation. They will recognize the graviy of the enestion involved and will never consent that one their fellow-citizens shall be tried by a foreign rower for an otfnse commit cd in this country. If Cutting bad Mtnbb and killed his Mexican rival, instead of merely attcking his reputation, dees any one pretend that Mexico could have tried him for murder? Certainly not." The Secretary said he had bo idea of retreating from the position taken weeks ago when he demanded Cutting's release.

KNGLItn SPECULATORS AT WORK. New YoKfc, August 9. The Sun' cable special fn Lnncon s.iys The imbroglio between the United States and Mexico over the imprisonment of Cutting possesses a peculiarly strong interest for a lar number of Englishmen who are speculating in land in Northern Mexio. A Lon on syndicate recently purchased enoniinu tracts of Mexican land lying long i he Am rican border, at prices varying from atoll) cents an acre. Mexican agents in London declare that subtle representatives of these Knglish speculators arc fomenting wr between America and Mexico for the sole purpose of forwarding their own selfish interests.

They know tha' the result of annexation by the United States of any of the northern districts of Mexico would immeasurably enhance the value of their holdings, and are polling their wires accordingly. CfTTlN'O CLAIMS PROTECTION. Ex. Paso, August 9. Cutting was called upon by the Examiner corre pondent today and found to be in very -chi erful spirits, notwithstanding his gloomy sur-rnundinps.

He said that he ext ectcd last night to be sent to Chihuahua to serve out hi term as a common criminal at hard 1 bor. ar.d didn't know but what he mihu be murdered on the journey. i( the Mexicans should be given any pretext whatever. While in this sta'e of mind he wrote a telegram to Governor Ireland and gave It to a friend to seni otT, the following being a c.py: Paho mu, Kortb August 8, 1SS0. To Governor Ireland I am a citizen of Texas and ask your protection.

A. K. Cutting. This morning about 10 clock Cutting wascalied before Judge Zubia. he Judge informed Cutting that he was summoned before the Court to receive formal notice that his (Cutting's) counsel had taken an appeal to the Supreme Court of the State of Chihuahua.

Cutting was then tvken baek to jail. In ormation has reached this side of the river that i-uO Mexican soldiers came np from Chihuahua last night, and a citizen ft sieta, in this county, says, to-day. Mexican cavalry camped last night at Faragosaa, a small town on the Mexican eitle of ihe river opposite Ysleta. Captain Drum, commander at Fort Bliss, has sent down to investigate the matter. There are all sorts of rumo in the city to the eft" et that a telegraph operator states thnt another demand for the release of Cutting went over the wires last night to Yinisler Jackson in Mexico, signed by Secretary 1-ayard.

There ia intense excitement and the people are organizing for home protection. VIEWS IN WASHINGTON. Washington, Angnst 9. Ex-Governor Porter, First Assistant Secretary of State, I ommitlee- bo who cl that very drop of water flowing iu tho stream by his hmd is his pronerty. to di nose cf how he will." M.md-y remarks made a decided impression.

Woodward, in reply. said that he did net think the clause gave the ripariiinits the r.ght to urinate any more land than that on mo OtnKs of the streams, lie omy wanted to reduce riparian rights to a minimum. He admitted that conditions had changed, and th.it the law passed twenty years ago was not available now, but he wanted a whole new system of law before he would listen to change. of saa Frncisco thought that Woodward h.id miaie i the riparianists. Although announcing himself as bei.ig an irrigationist.

he introduced he most riparian measure of the session, it confirmed and increa--ed all the rights the monopolists bad claimed. Firebauh San Francisco was quite windy, but aid nothing. Ixnid of San Iranciseo followed, and paid his respects to Firebsugh. He saii: "Who can doubt that r. Firebaugh is an irrigationist I He says he is.

but his posing here is very peculiar. His methods are open to c. ilicism. There is also a certain san Franci-co pa-, er masquerades in favor of irrigation, but at this stage of the fight us to go heme and give the in-opte no water. We have discussed this measure for two years, and we aon understand ic now.

why. we n't in a hundred ye; rs. Some members of this house fay they want light. What light he exclaimed, looking -ward the tni rubers of the metropolitan delegation who voted for delay. "It can't be God light.

1 hope and trust that we will settle this measure now and forever." Gregory of Amador followed ia one of the most etiective appeals of the session. He said: "it now been three weeks since we were called together, which time, together with H0.VOJ of tho people's money, has been in ph-mes ant excursions to S. Francisco. Members have pleaded for time in order that thev miiznt fully investigate this mora ntous nuetion. In order that they might have an opp.rtu- niy to obtain an expression of sentiment from their constituents.

in order that the riparianist, the irriga tor and the miner might hare an up- Sortuuity to present his grievances, and uring that lime they have enjoyed every facility imaginable. They have heard the bills discussed in the committees, they have read the ini -rs of theabicst minds in the State, an i in my pinion there is no a on why ws should not settle this ouestion, eapeciaily as Section 112 ot the Civil Code goes in the peti ion pre-scn ed to the Governor urging him to ad this extra session, the petitioners agreeing to vote for the repeal of this section. 1 question no man's right to change his opinion when be has suiiicient reas for so doii.g, nor do 1 question the motives of any member upon this floor in trj io? to postpone a vote npon this bill, bat I io claim that every member whose mature ib at ached to Ui it uocument is honor bound to vote for the repeal of Section t'T ri-c in his place and state the reasons th it impel him to to taimt it. It is a poor excuse to oiler that you did not know the contents of that document, f. if a man voluntarily signs his name to a document without a nii-reprscnla ion of ihe contents and a' ter he had ample pp-Dortutiitv to examine the auuie.

I would rather die by my own ind.

I appeal to you. gentlemen, to be true to your pledges, be true to the people who have honor- you with your po it ion. and vote down all amendments and vote for the ttpeal of Section il." At thi9 point Yule of Trinity moved the previous question. It was loet by a vote of 15 ayes to noes. Mcolashan was next on the floor and excused his position by stating his belief tli at the ti--ht was one of factions.

He straddled the issue in good style bv declaring himself neither an appropriator nor a rinariauist. Hazard ot Los Angeles followed. He claimed that no man was honestly for the peoi le rf he voted against the repeal ot Section Il? Said he: "That is the con trolling section tha' auth -nzed the Supreme Court in their late deci ior." He continued It warranted them in believing that we wanted import an infamous doctrine from England.

The anther of Jim the Penman" has created a new kind of play, which does not fit under any of the old classifications. The bare outlines of the plot, as published in the Sunday Ex aminer, are full of melodramatic sugges tions, while the play itself is constructed on principles that would suit a society drama. The treatment of the plot, its development, the sequence of the scenes, in short, the entire -constructive work of the play, which has all been admirably done, is decades in advance of the dramatic treat ment such plots commonly receive. It is esscnti -Uy moden, an I its ect is of something entirely original, though the leading character and his position have been maoe use or Detore in fiction and the drama.

This done, it becomes the duty of the executors and trustees to carry out his wishes regarding certain public beneficiaries.

They are charged with the duty. first, of establishing a ee library in his native village at Lew Lebanon: also in Yonkers, and if, in the discretion of the trustees, they choose to establish a free lib ary in this ciy they may do so and if not they are at liberty to use the funds that the free library would cost in tho promo ion of the educational cause. A great deal is left to the discretion of the trustees. In general terms, Mr. Tilden's relations are handsomely taken care of by the receipt of snecitic incomes which consumes.

Mr. Bigelow says, an amount not to exceed one-third of his estate. All the rest and residue is devoted to tho public good and tho trustees are charged with responsible duty of choosing such methods as shall prove of the greatest good to the public in the disposition of this property. THE VALUE OF THE ESTATE. The estate is not as large as has been estimated bv some people.

The value has been ced at 10.txxi,000. but Mr. Bigelow says that sum is double its actual value. As regards a ublic library for this city, that -tter is left to the discretion of the trustees as to location, size, equipment and cost. Hence the city will have a library, ir the trustees think that the funds in their hands cannot be used for the public to better advantage.

The will, will most likely, be offered for probate in this city, the law giving the executors the right to choose the place of probate, where the estate consists of rroperty si uate in more than one country. Citations will be issued to-mor ow from the Surrogate's Court to atlrela'ives to be present at the probate proceedings. Mr. Bigelow returned to Greystone tonight. Colonel Tilden.
