Colonel William H, Barnes, the attorney for the new Bank of California Syndicate and a warm friend of Ralston’s, pronounced the eulogy, which was full of eloquence and was enthusiastically applauded. The following preamble and resolutions were adopted ;— THR RESOLUTIONS. Whereas the citizens of San Franciseo have here as semblod to declare their solemn sense of the irreparable loss the city bas sustained in the untimely death of Wm. ©, Ralston, to express their heartfelt sympathy with those bound to him by ties of blot and family connections in their afiliction, and to record in unmistakable lan- guage their utter condemnation and abhorrence of the savage brutality and cruolty of certain of the daily newspapers of the city in the course they have unre- lentingly and unjustifiably pursued regarding his name and memory since his decease; therefore be it Resolved, That in reviewing the life of William C. Raiston, deceased, we recognize ono of the first citizens of San’ Francisco, the master spirit of her in- dustrial enterprises, the most bounteous giver to hor charities, the founder of her financial credit, and the warm supporter of every public and private effort to augment her prosperity and welfare; that to his sagacity, activity and enterprise San Francisco owes much of her present material prosperity, and in his | death she has sustained an irreparable loss} that in his business conceptions he was a ginnt, in social life an unswerving friend, and in all th@attributes of his char- acter he was a man worthy of love and trust. Resolved, That the citizens of San Francisco, without distinction’ of party, caste or class, in pubiie council now agsembled, tender to the widow and family of our | lamented benelactor and friend our tenderest sympa- thies for their and our great loss. Resolved, That the course of brutal and unjustifiable attacks of the daily Evening Bulletin and the daily Morning Call upon the personal character of Ralston, | Which did not case even while his remams wero being followed to the grave by his grief | stricken family and friends, merits the soverest censure, and we denounce the course of both journals as being in violation of decency; their insinuations we brand as infamous libels upon the dead, and wo declare that the perpetrators of them haye disgraced civilization and humanity everywhere. Resolved, That, with a calm though profound con- vietion- of’ the deep importance of our action, wo recommend and urge upon our — fellow’ cit- izens from this time henceforth, to — with- draw their advertising — patronage —_from | them, cease their subscriptions to and no longer | sustain or encourage either the San Francisco daily | Evening Bultetin or the daily Morning Call, and by ail | lawful Means to convince the world that the people of | this city and State are possessed of the instincts of | honor and the exterior decencies of civilized life.

ALL THE AMENDMENTS ADOPTED EXCEPT No. 12, WHICH IS STILL DOUBTFUL, The returns of Tuesday’s election on the amend- ments in New Jersey, though not complete, are suf ficient to show that all the amendments were adopted, of mortgages. This was defeated by heavy majorities in all the large cities, but it was almost unanimously adopted in the oyster, pine and farming sections, With perltaps the single exception of Trenton, in Mercer teen counties which are outside the provisions of the “Five County act,” There is great uneasiness felt in Hud- son county till the fate of that amendment be ascertained, The returns will beall completed to-day, and messengers will convey them to the Secretary of Stato, Although strenuous efforts were made by the Catholic clergy in several districts to have the public school amendments voted down, they were adopted by a large majority. Several prominent Catholics in Jersey City, Newark, Paterson, Elizabeth, New Brunswick and Tren- ton took offence af the mterference of the clergy, and accordingly they worked ealously for the adoption of those very amendments, The election has deen productive of one good result, It teaones the lesson that the system of introducing palitics into the pulpit—which is the curse of Ireland— will not be tolerated in New Jersey, where, at a recent election in Middlesex county, the disgraceful spectacio of a clergyman peddling tickets at the polls was wit- THR ELECTION IN NEWARK.

HE DISCOURSES ON AGRICULTURE, EDUCATION AND SPECIE PAYMENT. Sr. Lours, Mo., Sept. 8, 1875. Jefferson Davis delivered an address at the Agricul- tural Fair at De Soto, Mo., to-day, | ‘There was a large crowd present from Jefferson and Wyoming counties, and quite a number of the most prominent citizens of all parties, Mr. Davis was well received, but no notable demonstration was made on the occasion, He opened his speech by expressing much pleasure in meeting the people ofa section of the country with which he was well ac- quainted’ many years ago, and felt rejoiced at its growth and prosperity. He came ho said, not to discuss those questions which vex the mind and disturb the harmony which prevails among the people, If there are any who still entertain feelings of malice, or cherish bitterness on account of the past, let us withdraw from such. He declared that whatever might be the machinations of politicians, whatever the views of policy and the designs of state: craft might desire to consummate in regard to the future, the people of the great Mississippt Valley are one, and must always remain one people in in- terest, in destiny and in social forms and material progress. No man, no course of policy, no deep designs of ambitious men, could ever dissever them in ail the future, They would surely stand together. The great river binds them together by ties stronger than any that politics could ever invent, and from its source to its mouth the people who dwell in the Valley must be united. He then spoke at considerable jength the vast agricultural resources of the country commerce of the Mississippi V advantage and {portance to the nation, aM predicted that the time would soon come when 1) of iron barges would float down the mighty Mississippi, bears ing a commerce greater than that of the whole world, But a little while ago, and in ¥ f the vast’ possibilie ties of this great valley, he advocated building a univer- sity which should serve to confer the highest education upon the young men of the valley. The great popula tion which must soon swarm im’ this rich region will lead or be led according to the status which they main- tain in mental culture. Mr. Davis also urged the necessity of direct trade with, Europe, and asserted that specie resumpuon evclopments ley and its great was impracticable until our experts exceed our imports; declared that Congress had no authority to’ declare specte payments should be resumed at a certain date, ami that in the present condition of the country more curreney is needed, Tho gentleman’s speech was frequenUy applauded, and seemed at feast to give satisfaction to all hearers. OBITUARY. REY, JOHN OVEN. The Rev. John Oven, an Episcopal clergyman, died a Orange yesterday, after a lingering illness, Ho was born in Orange, where he was educated under the care of the Rev. SS. Stocking and the Rev, John Knott. He graduated from Columbia College, and entered the ministry in_the diocese of New Jersey, being ordained by Bishop Odenheimer. After a few months of minis- terial duty in Watsessing he removed to Florida for the benefit of his health, which had been greatly impaired by too close application while at college. Alter a short stay in Florida, where he married, he returned to Orange. His wife died but a few weeks ago, leaving an infant child. EX-GOVERNOR OF IDAHO TERRI+ ‘TORY. Hon, Caleb Lyon, of Lyonsdale, ex-Governor of Idaho Territory, died at his residenco near Rossville, S. L, last Tuesday, in the fifty-third year of his age. Mr. Lyon figured extensively in California in early days, both as a politician and litterateur, and when he mi- grated to Idaho that Territory was yet in its infancy.'Gov- ernor Lyon wasan energetic man, and the promises he made to his constituents he fulfilled as far as be was able. ‘The times were stormy, but he did not forget his duty, and ke manfully carried out bis pledge of office. He made the resources of the Territory known and appreciated by capitalists, and "through his individual exertions thousands of dollars were invested in that far off region, His labors were unceasing, and the people of. that section will deplore the loss of a man who worked only for their good. His administration of the Indian affairs of the Territory were pre-eminently satisfactory to the government, and the entire direction through the Sec- retary of the Interior was placed in his hands for the extinguishment of the Indian title to the whole of Idaho, IN ADDITION TO ITS VALUE AS A REMEDY: for skin diseases, preventive of contagion and an adjunct of the bath, GLENN’s SuLruunr Soar is especially useful to housekeepers as a means of bleaching white woollen, cotton and linen fabrics.
