Eds. GAZETTE:—I was at Santa Ana sometime ago to hear some of the speeches delivered by some of the Mongrel candidates for the different county offices. What was my surprise when, at the tail end of the meeting, I saw my Democratic friend, Mr. G. L. Russell, arise and advocate the election of the Mongrel ticket? He was especially severe on the Democratic candidate for County Assessor, Mr. A. W. Ryan, of Los Nietos. Mr. Russell was a candidate before the Democratic Convention for the office of Assemblyman, where he pledged himself, whether he was nominated or not, to the support of the whole Democratic ticket. Why is it that he has falsified his record? He goes back two years in attempting to justify his Judas-like course. He claims that a bargain was made two years ago, at the bottom of which was Mr. Ryan, that Mr. Lambourne should be nominated at this time. If he knew this commissioner, and tax on the ditch, had circulating lies about management of the district past, but it has not been the champion vicinity of Anaheim knows him will giveence to his stories.

Another man of different political antecedents than Mr. Russell is John Dolan, from Los Nietos. He made an ass of himself the other night at Orange. He is a neighbor of Mr. Ryan's, and until the last few weeks has been a warm personal friend of his; but that did not prevent him from making a virulent personal attack upon him at Orange. The main reason he gave that Mr. Ryan should not be elected was that "Senator Thurman of Ohio was in favor of a greenback currency instead of gold, that Booth voted with the Democrats on the Louisiana question, that Tweed stole money from New York city, and Boss Sheperd from Washington, etc., etc., ad libitum"; ergo, in order to remedy these things, it would be necessary to elect Jere Fryer to be assessor of Los Angeles county." No, Mr. Editor, that is not the reason of his recency. Two years ago (he and Russell both are seeking office at any and all times from any and all parties) he sought the Democratic nomination for Supervisor in the Los Nietos District. Mr. John Dolan claims to be a Republican, Mr. Ryan has always been a consistent Democrat, and as a matter of course did his best to defeat Mr. Dolan in his attempt to steal into the public crib by a Democratic road; but this is not the full "extent of his offending." On last Thursday week Mr. Ryan did not offer Mr. Dolan a deputyship in case of his election, and Jere Fryer did, If Mr. Dolan or Mr. Fryer will have the hardihood to deny that such a bargain was made on that day, we will furnish the exact words used in the conversation when the corrupt bargain was made, and the names of others present when the unholy sell was a candidate before the Democratic Convention for the office of Assemblyman, where he pledged himself, whether he was nominated or not, to the support of the whole Democratic ticket. Why is it that he has falsified his record? He goes back two years in attempting to justify his Judas-like course. He claims that a bargain was made two years ago, at the bottom of which was Mr. Ryan, that Mr. Lambourne should be nominated at this time. If he knew this two years ago, did he not know it when he got up in the Convention and stated that "the had always been a Democrat; that he had only been a candidate for a week, and that he should support the ticket, State and county, whether he was nominated or not"? Whether his statement is true or not, his course is politically dishonest. He occupies the position politically that Theodore Tilton does in the Beecher case. He claims that he is a "cuckold," and is trying hard to prove it. Is such a man's statements to be relied upon? We do not believe that any sane or intelligent map will be influenced an Iowa by his statements, for politically he is perjured. The fact is, Jere Fryer came down here and promised him the Deputy Assessorship if he would support him, in case of his election. That is "the milk in the coconut nut," as far as Mr. G. L. Russell is concerned. Another man of different political antecedents than Mr. Russell is John Dolan, from Los Nietos. He made an ass of himself the other night at Orange.

DELEGATE. Santa Ana, Aug. 27th, '75. A Card. Edg. Gazette:—Mr. DesGranges, in his communication in yesterday's paper, seems to be laboring under a misapprehension as to matters of fact. The Water Commissioners have not sold nor agreed to sell water to the Anaheim Water Company or anyone else. They have no power to supply water to any one whose land has not paid tax for the construction of the ditch. It was not in our power to prevent the Second District from enlarging the ditch had we desired it. But it is not necessary to tell an accomplished engineer like Mr. DesGranges, that with a given grade the larger the ditch is made the less the friction and the larger and more rapid the flow of water. It will be a much better ditch after the enlargement. We also wished to induce the Anaheim Water Company to pay for an additional enlargement of the ditch so that they could get their water from a point where it is always abundant. Our object was to prevent future disputes and lawsuits, and if the plan was carried out there could be none. It is well known that a certain sore-headed individual, who was not elected ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, SEPT. 4. 1875. commissioner, and has not paid any tax on the ditch, has been very busy circulating lies about the present management of the ditch for three weeks past, but it has not been deemed necessary to notice or contradict them, as he is champion mean man in the vicinity of Anaheim. No one who knows him will give the slightest credence to his stories. The present Commissioners represent personally half of the property of District No. 1 and being large tax-payers are naturally desirous to keep down expenses, in all ways in their power. They have given their time and attention, without pay, and having partly completed the ditch, are destroys of finishing it. Mr. J. B. Pierce, the Overseer, has been the efficient executive officer of the Board, and they know no man in the district who could have supplied his place. Capt. Geo. C. Knox, the Superintendent of Irrigation, has given his entire time and attention to the ditch, and has not only acted as Superintendent of Irrigation, but also as Civil Engineer, and for these valuable services he has not received one cent, and does not expect to be paid for his services as engineer. He certainly should be re-elected, as the most competent man for the position in the county. Wm. R. Olden, G. F. Miles, R. H. Gilman. From Monday's Daily. Wednesday next, and perpetuate themselves and their leader and overseer in office. They desire to keep the ring intact, that they may be able to run matters in their own interests. If we are not much mistaken, from the signs of the times, on Wednesday next the tax payers will give the whole set from Superintendent down to Oversee Pierce, a ticket of leave; and fill their places by men who will at least make a report of their doings; by men who will not cover their actions from the public. With a man of the known integrity and virtues of E. W. Champlin, as General Superintendent of Irrigation, the people will expect no retrograde in the work. And the idea of the present incumbents desiring to finish the work is more sophisty; all they seek is to retain their present positions. Is it not strange in this day of money making, that these philanthropic souls should desire to find themselves and work for the public for nothing, when they are being so sorely abused on every hand? There must be a little chicken pie somewhere in the ditch, or they would prefer common grub at home. Now tax payers and voters, face the music. Come square to the work, and finch not in asserting your rights at the ballot box. Pope says "An honest man is the noblest work of God." If ever one was offered to you for your suffrages, fully up to the standard of the great poet, it is in the person of E. W. Champlin. Lay aside all personal or political considerations in this one instance, and vote for the man whose interests are identical and coequal with right to demand that those persons should be business men, and should be pecuniarily responsible. The present board have all these republicans; they are all large land-holders and new landland, and are not mere contractors who have made a small payment and are two and three years delinquent for the balance. We represent 7,000 acres out of 14,000, and the opposition don't own or represent 300 acres. Such men have no interest in keeping down expenses; particularly if by increasing them they could get a chance to make something. Small tax payers could afford to do this; large tax payers could not, as their share of the profit would be less than the increase of the tax. Messrs. Miller and Gilman did not save Raine from ruin, and consequently he is not half so bitter against them same, who did. He pours out the vials of his wrath against me; from his point of view I am particularly unfit to be a commissioner. I am the agent of a company who pay on demand their tax on 6,400 acres. I pay on over 400 acres of my own, and am the legal representative of 400 acres more. I think the representative of 6,200 acres almost the half of the district, is entitled to a place on the board. I was perfectly satisfied with Mr. Field as a commissioner, and had he remained here would not have cared to act myself, but when he left it became necessary that the large interests I represented should be protected, and I was appointed, as it was just and right that I should be. It was the duty of the Board of Supervisors when they appointed Capt. From Monday's Dally. A Card from J. B. Raine. In your issue of the 28th Inst., a "Card," signed by Messrs. Olden, Miles and Gilman, reflects at length upon a certain "sorehead," etc. I am not at all ignorant of the party attempted to be blackened by the hit, and can take a hint without having my heels knocked into the air. The voters of this county will not fail to see through the thin gauze overspreading the "Card;" the object is too patent for even a fool to overlook. It is not that they love Raine less, but that they love Knox and a little chicken pie more. But for the interest of the heavily burdenset tax-payers of Cajon Water District, it would not receive at my hands the slighest notice. Now, what is the object of the "card?" In whose interest was it gotten up, on the very eve of the election? The thing is as apparent as the sun at mid-day; and that is, the election of Capt. Knox as Superintendent of Irrigation. For one moment let us look, from the standpoint of a tax-payer, at Capt. Knox's connection with Cajon Water District No.1. The very idea that Capt. Knox should devote his whole time to the construction of the ditch, and expect no remuneration for the same, as civil engineer, is a little too thin; such logic will not set well on the mind of a tax-payer. The question is, why has Capt. Knox not received a compensation, commensurate with the labor already performed? Capt. Knox will answer the question when the ditch is finished; and the North Anaheim Canal Company and the Anaheim Water Company, and all the other water rights, have been merged into, and condensed by the Cajon Water District; when these facts have been accomplished, under the supervision of Wm. R. Olden, then will Capt. Knox make his debut before the white trash tax payer, in the opening scene of a lien on the whole of the franchise to secure him for services, to the amount of about fifteen thousand dollars. The tax-payers desire not the services of Capt. Knox for nothing. They want to see him paid, and no after-claps in the future, or loop holes left for law-suits. In the employment of Chinamen there is a little mystery, and may-be-so a small slice of chicken pie. When District No.2 was organized, a responsible party in this town (mind you, not a Chinaman), offered Captain George C. Knox one hundred laborers at $20 50 per month. He (the Capt), suggested that he would not have Chinamen this side of San Francisco at any price. This was no sham bid for the work, but a bona-fide offer, the party making it suggest nothing, when they are being so solely abused on every hand? There must be a little chicken pie somewhere in the ditch, or they would prefer common grub at home. Now tax payers and voters, face the music. Come square to the work, and finch not in asserting your rights at the ballot box. Pope says "An honest man is the noblest work of God." If ever one was offered to you for your suffrages, fully up to the standard of the great poet, it is in the person of E.W. Champlin. Lay aside all personal or political considerations in this one instance, and vote for the man whose interests are identical and coequal with your own. J. B. RAINE. The Wholesale Liquor Dealers' Association and League of Freedom have issued the following circular: "It has been discovered that the attempt to call a Constitutional Convention at the approaching election originated with the "Local Option" people. They hope to quietly insert something in the proposed "New Constitution", which will authorize legislative interference with the right of the citizen to pursue his business avocation in his own-way. "They care nothing for the circumstance that a new Constitution would cost the people at least a half a million dollars; that it would afford a chance for schemers to lay the foundation for an additional public debt, by striking out the clause contained in the present Constitution which limits the authority of the Legislature to create a public debt. For a quarter of a century California has been governed by the present Constitution and has grown to greatness and material wealth. "If this Constitutional Convention be called, everything is put at risk, and we have again to fight the battle of "Local Option" in the Legislature, at the polls and in the courts. See to it that every ballot contains the words, "against the Convention," or, what is the same thing, contains nothing on the subject." A Reply to J. B. Raine. EDS. GAZETTE: -In your issue of yesterday appears the culmination of long continued systematic lying that has been indulged in by J. B. Raine, for several months. He was a candidate for Water Commissioner, and was so thoroughly appreciated by the voters, that on election day he received one vote, and that he put in himself. Since then he has been bitterly hostile to the present board, because so long as they were in power, he knew that it would be utterly vain for him to attempt to sell the North Anaheim water right to District No.1, for several thousand dollars. This accounts for the milk in the cocoanut. He confidently expected to make some money out of the district, and unless the voters of the district elect creatures of his choosing, it will be impossible for company who pay on demand their tax on 5,400 acres. I pay over 400 acres of my own, and am the legal representative of 400 acres more. I think the representative of 9,200 acres almost the half of the district, is entitled to a place on the board. I was perfectly satisfied with Mr. Field as a commissioner, and had he remained here would not have cared to act myself, but when he left it became necessary that large interests I represented should be protected, and I was appointed, as it was just and right that I should be. It was the duty of the Board of Supervisors, when they appointed Capt. Knox Superintendent of Irrigation, to fix his salary. This they neglected to do, consequently the Commissioners have had no authority to pay him anything, but they have paid every dollar of indebtedness of the district up to date, as their books will show. The district don't owe one dollar. It is unnecessary to reply to the ridiculous charge that Capt. Knox will have a lien upon the ditch property; he has a claim for services rendered when the Board of Supervisors tell us how much it is. If I was about to build a house I would certainly give the preference to Mr. Champlin to superintend or construct it over Capt. Knox; but when it comes to ditch building and engineering we know that Capt. Knox possesses superior qualifications. He has proved this. Mr. Champlin may be an engineer, but has so far given the public no evidence of the fact. We prefer a man whom we know to be thoroughly competent, and who has placed on record on the books of the District his resolution not to make any charge for his services as engineer. With Mr. Champlin as Superintendent the district would be obliged to pay at least: $300 per month to do his work. Respectfully, Wm. R. Olden. Local Pollicia in Santa Ana---Some Hefty Resolutions. An important local contest takes place here on election day for the office of "high" constable. There is a superfluity of candidates; something less than twenty being in the field. W.H.Tichenai, J.C.Hickey, W.W.Halesworth, Andrew Hodgson and numerous others have expressed a willingness to saarifice their own private interests for the public good by serving the people as constable of San Joaquin Township. The above list includes only the candidates from this end of township. As the office is an important one it was thought advisable by some of our citizens to obtain their views on national questions and issues and to see on what grounds they based their fitness for this high office. Accordingly they were severally approached, including B.F.Smith, from Orange. The different candidates concluded they would hold a census and submit their views to your correspondent for publication, so that people could judge whether and dollars. The tax-payers desire not the services of Capt. Knox for nothing. They want to see him paid, and no after-claps in the future, or loop holes left for law-suits. In the employment of Chinamen there is a little mystery, and may-be-so a small slice of chicken pie. When District No. 2 was organized, a responsible party in this town (mind you, not a Chinaman), offered Captain George C. Knox one hundred laborers at $26 50 per month. He (the Capt.), suggested that he would not have Chinamen this side of San Francisco at any price. This was no sham bid for the work, but a bona-fide offer, the party making it suggesting that he could give bonds in any reasonable amount for the faithful performance of the work. Now what do tax payers think of this? do they get the Chinamen at figures as low? What cares the tax payer from whence the labor comes? All he wants is to get the largest amount of work for the least money. The tax payers think, and justly too, that they should be advised as to the disposition made of their money; as matters now stand they know nothing as to the liabilities being incurred by the district. Is not Captain Knox merely the servant of the people, and should he not relier an account of his stewardship? We think so. Let us see how the great Mogul of Anaheim and its surroundings, W. R. Olden, mixed himself into this ditch and the fifth surrounding a certain little ring of which he is the bright particular star. Mr. Fields had sold out his interests in this county, but had not executed the deed on the day of the election, so he denied the sale, and was elected one of the Commissioners. On the next Saturday the record of his deed appeared in the GAZETTE. Mr. Fields resigns, and Capt. Knox, having the appointing power, appoints W. R. Olden, contrary to the wishes of at least nine-tenths of the tax payers in the district. So much for a little ruse and wire-working. There is but one object in the "cand." Their reference to my lies, being the mean man in Anaheim, etc.; what do they care whether I tell the truth or lie? What is it to them whether I am lame, blind, halt, ugly or mean? None of them have me to care for, and such references are entirely out of place. I am not to be judged by them, but at all times hold myself ready to answer them individually for my conduct wherein it may concern their interests, and to the scrutiny of my fellow-citizens in general. I will now suggest the only object of the card, is to wholly mislead the hard pressed tax payerson In the water districts no person votes except as the representative of land, consequently it is not unreasonable that those who own the largest landed interest should want to be represented on the Board of Water Commissioners. The man who pays the largest amount of taxes for the construction of the ditch, should certainly say who shall disburse that money. They have a one vote, and that he put himself. Since then he has been bitterly hostile to the present board, because so long as they were in power, he knew that it would be utterly vain for him to attempt to sell the North Anaheim water right to District No. 1, for several thousand dollars. This accounts for the milk in the cocoanut. He confidently expected to make some money out of the district, and unless the voters of the district elect creatures of his choosing, it will be impossible for him to do it. He is more particularly bitter against me for the simple reason that but for me he would not have a foot of land in this county that he could claim even a partial ownership of. One year ago the Land Company sent to me a list of names of delinquent parties, against whom they proposed to institute suits of foreclosure. The name of J. B. Raune was among them. I knew that he owed money to the merchants in town that must be paid; and I persuaded them to wait a year longer, and give him a chance, and they did it. Afterwards he wanted to buy a piece of land in Los Bolesas, and after making several selections, and getting them changed, he finally decided upon one, and I arranged the matter for him. This last was simply a matter of business, but I took great pains to please him. No sooner had he been put in possession of this latter piece of land, than he immediately laid claim as a squatter to 120 acres more. There is plenty of proof of this, as he will find when he gets before the court. There are some men who are incapable of gratitude, and always hate those who confer obligations upon them. He hates the Land Company for their forbearance, and he particularly hates me for having saved him from ruin. I have always treated him kindly, and for months past he has repaid me with the most bitter hostility and vile abuse. Now I ask, is not a man capable of such baseness, the champion mean man of Anaheim? In the water districts no person votes except as the representative of land, consequently it is not unreasonable that those who own the largest landed interest should want to be represented on the Board of Water Commissioners. The man who pays the largest amount of taxes for the construction of the ditch, should certainly say who shall disburse that money. They have a one vote, and that he put himself.

No sooner had he been put in possession of this latter piece of land, than he immediately laid claim as a squatter to 120 acres more. There is plenty of proof of this, as he will find when he gets before the court. There are some men who are incapable of gratitude, and always hate those who confer obligations upon them. He hates the Land Company for their forbearance, and he particularly hates me for having saved him from ruin. I have always treated him kindly, and for months past he has repaid me with the most bitter hostility and vile abuse. Now I ask, is not a man capable of such baseness, the champion mean man of Anaheim? In the water districts no person votes except as the representative of land, consequently it is not unreasonable that those who own the largest landed interest should want to be represented on the Board of Water Commissioners. The man who pays the largest amount of taxes for the construction of the ditch, should certainly say who shall disburse that money. They have a one vote, and that he put himself. Since then he has been bitterly hostile to the present board, because so long as they were in power, he knew that it would be utterly vain for him to attempt to sell the North Anaheim water right to District No. 1, for several thousand dollars. This accounts for the milk in the cocoanut. He confidently expected to make some money out of the district, and unless the voters of the district elect creatures of his choosing, it will be impossible for him to do it. He is more particularly bitter against me for the simple reason that but for me he would not have a foot of land in this county that he could claim even a partial ownership of. One year ago the Land Company sent to me a list of names of delinquent parties, against whom they proposed to institute suits of foreclosure. The name of J. B. Raune was among them. I knew that he owed money to the merchants in town that must be paid; and I persuaded them to wait a year longer, and give him a chance, and they did it. Afterwards he wanted to buy a piece of land in Los Bolesas, and after making several selections, and getting them changed, he finally decided upon one, and I arranged the matter for him.

[SPECIAL TO THE EVENING GAZETTE.] Further particulars about the great failure—Salida of Mr. Balston—Details of His Death—Gliding of the Los Angeles Bank—Salida of the Cashier of the Bank of California. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 27. W. C. Balston, President of the Bank of California, went to North Beach to bathe and is supposed to have been taken with a fainting fit. He was taken from the water in an insensible condition, and to all appearances dead. Efforts to resuscitate him are being made and with the hope of success. The accident occurred near the old hulk in the cove near the smelting works. He had undressed himself and left his clothes on the beach conducive to his usual custom. He had swam out into the current and smelting works they saw several friends climbing wildly up the high bluff and over the sandy streets to the beach beyond, which was hidden from sight. The first sight which met the eye was a few escapes bags stretched upon the sand, upon which lay a stout man, entirely destitute of clothing, except a pair of bathing drawers. A small crowd of boys, saline, and long-shoreman, and Barbary Coast women were grouped around the mill. Five men were energetically manipulating the body for the purpose of ejecting the water. The lower limbs were rubbed with course flannels and salt; the chest pressed upon, and every attempt made to resture animation, but without avail. A convulsive jerkking of the limbs, a spasmodic grasp, and Balston was dead. Aug. 25, 2:30 p.m. Banks doing regular business today except National Gold Bank and Trust Company and Merchant's Exchange Bank. The Bank of California will do no more business; it will settle up as soon as it can be done without sacrificing its security. No run on any bank to-day. Streets are crowded with illumination; merchants are doing very little business, but are drawing in money and paying out none. The Stock Board will probably not meet for the purpose of business until a week from Monday. They are positively prohibited from making sales or purchasing until they meet again. No Report. Los Angeles, Aug. 30. EDS.: GAZETTE:—It is impossible to SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 27. W. C. Ralston. President of the Bank of California, went to North Beach to bathe, and is supposed to have been taken with a fainting fit. He was taken from the water in an insensible condition, and to all appearances dead. Efforts to resuscitate him are being made and with the hope of success. The accident occurred near the old hulk in the cove near the smelting works. He had undressed himself and left his clothes on the beach conductive to his usual custom. He had swam out into the current and was about venturing out again when he was cautioned against it, but paid no attention to the advice given. Soon after he reached the deep water and strong current, he was observed to sink. A boat immediately put out and got his body, which was still on the surface, and brought it ashore, where it was rolled on a barrel, rubbed with flannels and every means taken to resuscitate him. The muscles twitched convulsively and froth issued from his mouth, as if in a fit, and his breathing was heavy. The news was immediately brought to town, and Capt. Lees, Mayor Otis and other friends were soon on hand and every effort was made to resuscitate him. When taken from the sea he was not removed from the beach, but the labors to restore him were carried on immediately at the scene of the casualty. LATEST: All efforts to restore animation proved fruitless, and shortly before five o'clock life was extinct. From the convulsive jerkings of the limbs and frothing from the mouth and other symptoms usual in cases of poison, it is thought by many that he had first taken poison with the determination of ending his life, and then swam out into the bay to render the attempt effective beyond a doubt. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 27. The excitement over Ralston's death is intense. The streets are crowded with people discussing the tragedy, and of Mr. Ralston, now that he is dead, of his many good qualities. They forgive his faults, he having done much good for California in assisting different enterprises. The Bulletin and Call are denounced on every side as the cause of the trouble, and threats are made to mob the offices to-night. Military companies are ready to assist quelling any disturbance. The death of Mr. Ralston will again unsettle affairs, as there are doubts as to the ability of the bank to pay up in full. An investigation will be held on Ralston's body to-morrow, and a post mortem examination will be made to settle the question of suicide or accidental death. August 27. The Panic is subsiding. The Merchants' Exchange has temporarily suspended. The U.S. Sub-Treasury came to the rescue on demand of the Savings Banks. The National Gold Bank and Trust Company re-open on Monday. Long before the usual hour this morning, the streets, reaching to the business centers, were filled with nervous pedestrians. At 9 A.M. the scene on California street was simply indescribable. The run on the banks was tremendous; the struggle to get Bank. The Bank of California will do no more business; it will settle up as soon as it can be done without sacrificing its security. No run on any bank to-day. Streets are crowded with illars. Merchants are doing very little business, but are drawing in money and paying out none. The Stock Board will probably not meet for the purpose of business until a week from Monday. They are positively prohibited from making sales or purchasing until they meet again. No Report. Los Angeles, Aug. 30. EDS. GAZETTE:—It is impossible to get any market report, as all places of business are closed in San Francisco. The Los Angeles County bank opened to-day; the other two will be closed for a day or two. Lawlessness. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 29. Lawlessness still goes on in the Indian Territory. John Kanesn, on his way East with his family, when forty miles north of Fort Gibson, was killed. They robbed him and took all the provisions in the wagon. They also outraged his wife and daughter, riding away on the horses of the victims. Business Affairs. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 30. It is stated on the best authority that it is not improbable that the Bank of Cala will be opened soon. It is stated that there is negotiations between the mint and Flood & O'Brien for purchases of Consolidated Virginia Mine for the next 30 days. Directors of mint, now here, expected purchases to be completed to-day which will ensure a large supply of gold coin. The cotage of the Mint for the month of August is said to be larger than any corresponding month in previous years. Several business houses suspended to-day. The Bank of Nevada, at Nevada, Cal., sustained a run on Friday and suspended. It is understood the bank will be re-opened this week. Stockton Banks lose nothing; no run occurred. Heavy Rain Storms. WASHINGTON, Aug. 29. There is a heavy rain here to-day. A high tide in the Potomac caused streets and sewers to overflow, flooding basements and doing great damage. At Georgetown much damage is reported by overflowing canals. LAWRENCE, Kan., Aug. 29. It has rained all over the State for two days. Corn will suffer. New wheat sells here at $1 25 per bushel. St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 29. Rain continued through Saturday until 4 P.M.to-day. Hopes are entertained that fair weather will intervene and save the wheat crop, which is much reduced. About My Lincoln—Trial of Outlaws. CHICAGO, Aug. 29. Dr. J. Paterson, Superintendent of the private asylum at Batavia, Ill., where Mrs. Lincoln is now undergoing treatment, publishes a card in the Tribune of this morning, in regard to the unfortunate discussion which has recently sprung up concerning her present condition; that she was placed August 27. The Panic is subsiding. The Merchants' Exchange has temporarily suspended. The U.S. Sub-Treasury came to the rescue on demand of the Savings Banks. The National Gold Bank and Trust Company re-open on Monday. Long before the usual hour this morning, the streets, reaching to the business centers, were filled with nervous pedestrians. At 9 A.M. the scene on California street was simply indescribable. The run on the banks was tremendous; the struggle to get good locations was simply terrific. The first bank to receive the shock was the London and San Francisco Bank. The clicking of coin commenced; lines were formed, and express wagons were in waiting to carry off coins drawn by heavy depositors, but happily large drafts were few. The bank was well prepared and stood the assault bravely. It had $300,000 yesterday from New York and $500,000 more from the Sub-Treasury. The bank officials seemed happy. Los Angeles, Aug. 28. Our three banks have posted up a notice to the effect that on account of the financial crash in San Francisco, they will do no business today. The notice is signed by all the banks. The doors are closed. It is now reported in San Francisco that Thos. Brown, cashier of the Bank of California, has shot himself. San Francisco, Aug. 28. About 2 P.M. yesterday, a medium sized man rushed in and almost fainting from fatigue, and panting heavily; said to the Deputy Commer, "there has man just new drowned near the bath house. I think that it is Mr. Balston; I know it is." The statement was treated with contempt, but from the earnest manner of the informant it seemed that some one had been drowned, and the wagon was sent for the body. The man said the body was lying on the sand near Black Point, between Selby's lead smelting works and the Pioneer Woolen Mill. The man then left immediately for the office of the Chief of Police and Mayor. Many rumors began to be spread, and as the dead wagon started out Manigoniary avenue with the coroner it was surrounded by an anxious crowd who asked to know if the information was truth and Mr. Balston was really dead. The long black box on wheels driving rapidly down the avenue attracted all eyes and certainly dispensed the general sensation. As they approached the Rain continued through Saturday until 4 P.M. to-day. Hopes are entertained that fair weather will intervale and save the wheat crop, which is much reduced. About Mrs. Lincoln—Trial of Outlaws. Chicago, Aug. 20. Dr. J. Paterson, Superintendent of the private asylum at Ratavia, Ill., where Mrs. Lincoln is now undergoing treatment, publishes a card in the Tribune of this morning, in regard to the unfortunate discussion which has recently sprung up concerning her present condition; that she was placed under his care after the provisions of the law had been complied with by her best friends; and that though she has improved mentally and physically, he believed at the same time that Mrs. Lincoln desired to be removed to the house of her sister in Springfield and treated. Unless she changes for the worse, he shall favor the plan, which does not have the appearance of a conspiracy to keep Mrs. Lincoln shut up. The Franklin county, Ill., Night Riders, Orders of the Golden Ring, who have been arrested, are on trial. The leader of the Band was held to bail in $2,000, and the examination of the others is still holding. Two of the band have turned States evidence, and the testimony is seemingly conclusive. Chicago, Aug. 20. Dr. Paterson publishes a statement that Mrs. Lincoln has not been confined, but is at liberty to go and come, suitably attended. Her friends believe it necessary that she be under supervision until her mind is restored. Inquiries Please. Ramwax, N.J., Aug. 20. There were three fires here this morning.
