The staj arrangeiaenta deserve more than a pasain notice, as they give evidence nf a display of talent which doe credit to the wtr bd- hind the throne. The effect was fine.

The scene was bright ened by a fragrance of natural flowers tastefnlly arranged as a relief to tne heavy crurson hangings which, in contrast withi the table and furniture upon the made a perfect effect, Assae.ij from the door, it was especially striking.

The balcony windows were well arranged, and added to the general effect. THK HUSBAND IX CLOVER," Which was the event of the evening was a gem in itself, and more than well presented. Miss Ida Johnson displayed a natural adaptability to the role sha has adopted, which at once gave evidence of her own ability and the careful training of her preceptress. Mrs. Judah.

Mr. it- ker did "Horace" remarkably well, an the audience gave expression of their ap preciation in harty and continued ap- Dlanse. Prof. Todd then gave a fane net solo, which was highly appreciated. Mrs.

After the p-r ormance, the no was cleared and dancing indulged in until midnight. lhe whole affair is more successful than its most ar dens' supporters anticipated, if the ladies having in charge tbe future evening entertainments surpass their predecessors. the Home of the Aged will be more than well sustained.

Editob Tbibosk: I have waited patiently for some action on the part of the Board of Supervisors on the appointment of Horticultural Commissioners, but thus far hav seen nothing more than a notice to the effect that they had no choice in the matter; that the law was mandatory, and that they would have to appoint. But still they hesitate, while the ravages of the orchard pests is going on at a fearful rate. Why do they remain so inactive while so many counties of less importance haVe been so prompt place themselves on the record, and makintr vigorous preparations for a determined tight next year against the insect pests that are laying waste the best interest of the State (yes. the best interest), for within the next ten years, I prophecy that the fruit product of the ntate will sur, ass value any other one industry- in the State.

If any one doubts this, they have but to make inquiry of the shippers of grain and canned iruits as to tbe amount of ods annually shipped from California. There are from 15 to 18 canning factories in active operation in this State, and to give an idea of the magnitude of the industry, it is oily necessary now to give a brief statement of the business of one of them, viz. the J. Lusk Co. Canning Company, of yeur city.

They have pnt np this season about thirteen and a half millions pounds ofj fruits and vegetables, and have already sent off nearly three hundred carloads, and orders on file for some twenty carloads more to London, Lirerr-ool, New York. Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, Milwau kee, Iivlianapolis, St. Louis, Dubuone, and New Orleans, and to narly EVERY TOWM AND CTTY OF IMPORTANCE In the en'ire northwest, besides the sur rounding Territories and Canada. That establishment has paid out this ar, for the small item of tin, for th-? manufacture their cans, the snug little sum of over 3150.000. and have employed as high as fk-orn 1,200 to 1.500 hands at a time.

Now this trade is bat in its infancy, dating bv-k ibont five years. The trade before that as but as an entering wedge, and in this hort space of time, it has rachedL those proportions. Now, is there 4ny one silly enough to supiiose that this trade can be overdone, or that we can overstock the market of the world. I i-annnt think that our bu ret vi-ors have a proper conception of the importance of this industry, else they would place themselves on record and take rompt action in protecting so valuable an ndustry. Would thev be justifiable in spending a few moments of their valuable time to provide means by which we can enforce concerted or united action, in a varfare ag iint the hordes of destructive nseet pests that are fast devour'ng our orchards to inevitable destruction, for it amounts to that) as sure as vou ive the fruit interest of-the Pacific Coast is doomed if some energetic action is not paken, and we require the strong arm of (he law to aid us in our efforts (and we knust have it).

We are not like the Santa Rosa RepuHiean. which remarked in a little paragraph published in July last, that the pread of orchard pests cannot be denied stopped, but, by greater care, we will manase to save partial crops. The golden age of California fruit is gone. We pan and will check the evil. rso doubt, if such a man as he had the management of the fight, would be a very small portion or our Crops that would saved.

He reminds tr.e very much of the man who was driving me unruly cows, and seeing -A WAG IN THK ROAD a advance," called to him to bead the Cows; the wag called b.ick, 1 have no eader." "Then stop them!" he called, I have no stopper," replied the other. But we have a stopper and we intend to pse it. Our orchards so far in this county are not badlv affected, except with the apis and red spid-r, especially the latter, which has already ruined the almond orchards and are gieatly damaging the apples, and the coddling moth, or apple worm, the destroyer of the snple, pear and iiuince, made its appearance in our orchards last year, in small numbers, end has increased fully one thousand ier cent. give an idea of the enormous increase of this king of orchard pests, it is only necessary to look at what entomologists sav of its habits. That each female lays eighty at a time, and but one on eaeb fruit, then the eurs hatch into moths, and they in turn lay agin, and this is repeated three times a year, giving us for next year a nourishing little stock of 04,000 fema'e moths; making the allowance of oue-half to be male moths, I ut each worm destroys its apple or pear 128.

OOU trom one little worm. How long would it take for this little creeping -thing to destroy an orchard at this alarming rate of increase, even making a liberal allowance of a large portion ot them to be destroyed by natural en-mies? To answer this we have only to look back eight years. When thev were first introduced into this State, in fruit sent here from the Fat, to lie exhibited in our State Fair, andbvv possiblv. not more than hilf a dozen little worms. The fruit interest of th- State is being ruined: for now th- hold almost undisputed possession of the State, and have destroyed fully A MILLION DOLLARS WORTH Of fruit this year.

The orchards in the mountain counties are almost destitute of apples and pears. Producers there were compelled to hasten their fruit to market to save what they could from rick, as nearly every fruit was perforated by the worms and would n't keep. And the Sao ram en to shippers of fruits, who have here tofore depended upon the mountain orchards for th-ir fine shipping fruits, have been forced to come down into the valleys to obtain their fruit', and are now offering large advance- over San Francisco prices. You may ask why they seek their fruit in the valleys, and why our fruit is not damaged as badly here as above. The reason is this: '1 he Codling Moth made its appearance and got a firm footing in Sacramento county, and quickly spread over that entire section, by being carried to every orch-ird in returned boxes.

And thehippers of fruit there, getting nearly ail their apples and pears from th moun tain counties; the insret was distributed th r- sooner than below. But now comes our turn. The shippers of fruit in Sacramento have to use great care in assorting their fruits to go over the mountains, and t- cave themselves from loss, are forced to look for a market for their worm eatert fruit Aad- where otmld thev find a better one than Sab Francisco? They sent it there and the commission houses became infested; their fruit and ours piled side by side, on top and underneath, and the rm-, leaving the fruit to sr-ek a hilling place, find their way into our. boxes and weave their cocoon, and so ear ned to our orchards in our returned boxes. It would have taKen years for them to have spread as they have had it not been for the system of returning packages.

Let that be as it may, we have them now, and it will noli be long before we will be bad off as our up-country neighbor, unless some de cisive and united action i taken, and that very soon. WJr. H. JstRVT. 11 AY wards, etober 11, 1881.

Hon. Erastus Brooks was unanimously hosen as Permanent Chairman, and he addressed the Convention. At the conclusion of his address, the Secretary read the resolutions and tbe vlatform was adopted. It reaffirms fidelity to the Democratic principles, as set forth by the National Conven tions; it denounces the fraud of 1876, whereby the people were defrauded of the fruits of their victory! it declares that reform is si ill necessary, and that the contin uing disclosures of new plundering of the people's funds by the inner rings in the Treasury, the Postoffice and the Interior De partments demonstrate that reform is more than evt-r a and it deman is a thorough investigation of these frauds. he assassination ot the late 1 resident is lepl -red in all it public and private aspects, and heartfelt sympathy for his family i expressed.

The plat form favors hard money, and de- jiounces the Kepublif-an support of the repudiation parties in Virginia, Min nesota, Mississippi' and other States. i'he Republican Legislature of New York also denounced for its corruption and dishoiiestv.

Pivotal Position of Dav Davis In the Senate Notes. Washington, October 12th. ould the Edmunds resolution, providing for continuing th committees of last' session, be adopted, Bayard will have power to fid the vacancies on the committees of last session occasioned by the death of Hurn- and the resignation of Conkling and Piatt. Several important committees Aould thus be mad3 Democratic. Burn- side was the Chairman and Conkling a member of the Committee on Foreign Re Piatt was on the Finance Committee, Btirnside oh the Military, Conk ing on the Juoiciary, Piatt on Poi-torhces, Burnside on Education, and Conkling on Engroed Bills.

Bayard might assign lie new senators only to the three inferior committees, and make the other three im- rtant ones Democratic. The talk amon Republicans is not generally fvorabl the prop. -sitio i to elect David Davis, lllin is, President of the benate, and thi.a i.place Bavard.

Cabinet Knmora.

In consequence othe earnest appeal of the l'residenf, Postmaster-General James is to remain in the Cabinet until after the star route triafs. It is not improbable that Windom may hold on until December, also that when James goes Arthur can succeed Windom by a New Yorker. Unless James goes now the President will feel obliged to choose Windom 'a successor outside of New Governor Boutwell assures your correspondent that he has neither been offered nor declined tbe Treas-uryship. No Cabinet nominations will be made this week. Views of Bayard and O.vIl Bayard has said that if the Republicans nominate Davis he will move to elect him, and thus put him under a much obligation to the Democrats for his -ition as to the Republicans.

Davis has. informed a Senator in friendly conversation, most positively, that he would not consent to the use of bis name, and that be will vote against any proposition to change the presiding officer. Newspaper Opinion. New York, October 12th. The Times and the Tribune favor the suggestion to elect Dav ai President of the Sena'e.

The Tribune says that if it is true, as Judge Davis will not deny, that the present situation pla'-es the peice of the country in peril by inviting any reckless and desperate man to change the Administration through the use of the pistol, it is the duty of the Senate to end that state of things. Opposition to or ham. A special dispatch to the Herald from Washington says: Among those who are aid to be stoutly opposed to Gorham are Hawley, Hill; of Colorado, and Miller, of California. The latter two favor M. D.

Boruck of California, Who, having been in dorsed by the Republican State Executive Committee, is now in Washington. If it be true, as that Hawley will never consent to vote for Gorham, the Re publicans will least drcide to postpone the subject until the December session. WIRES DOWN.

Mr. Weil claims that the proposed actions of the Attorney-Gen- era! cannot be maintained. The money was paid on warrants drawn by the Controller, and he cannot go behind those warrants. Legal gentlemen that the State cannot avail itself of the un- constitutionality of the Act to recover money from the parties who were entitled to it as compensation for labor performed, and that the State should stand by its pledged faith and credit. Should these suits prevail, a hardship will be worked upon third parties who purchased the war-rants from the contractors, being mostly local banking institutions who advanced the money in good faith, supposing that they were acting in a perfectly legal and legitimate manner.
