Funeral Services OverEx-Governor Low.

BEAUTIFUL FLORAL PIECES.

A Resume of His Acts as WarGovernor.

HE CHAMPIONED FREE SCHOOLS.

To Prisoners He Gave No Benefit ofDoubts After the Courts Had

Passed Judgment. '

In a very unostentatious manner themortal remains of the late ex-GovernorFrederick F. Low were laid to rest inLaurel Hillcemetery yesterday.

The funeral was conducted in a verysimple and plainmanner, with a total lackof anything like display, which was in ac-cordance with the well-kuowu wishes oftbe deceased.

The services were held at the family

IHenry L. Dodge.. W. Taylor. W. E. iIUrown, H. Jewett ,J. Aldrich and Henry I!Smith. *

Among the prominent people present |! were: Mrs. Stanford, General W. H. L.\ Barnes, Jud^e Charles A. Low, General J. IiF. Houghton, Adolph Spreckels, Alfred

Bouvier, Louis Sloss, William Martin andCornelius O'Connor.

Frederick Ferdinand Low, whose death !| has just left such a material gap in the i

j rank* of California pioneers, was one of I; the "war Governors" of the State, and the j

steady hand with which he held the tillerduring those anxious times bas left himsince, and will forever leave him, a high \place in the esteem of her citizens, a proudplace in California history.

In1861. just as the war of the rebellion jbroke out, he was elected to Congress on j

! the Republican ticket. At tho expiration1 of his terra in the lower House, lie was| appointed oy President Lincoln Collector

'ot the Port of San Francisco, succeeding i

, Hon. Ir-P. Rankin. He had been in this joffice only a few months when the Repub-lican State convention, in the summer of1863, nominated him for Governor. Hewas elected, and served the term of fouryears, ending in December, 1867.

The Governor was inaugurated on De- icember 10, 1563. Under amendments to the j

iconstitution, making the term of office !four years instead of two, he became our jlirst executive for a four years' term. The !

[ legislative sessions were at the same time j< made biennial instead of annual. Tne \u25a0

war of the rebellion was then about half |fought, and was concluded when the jGovernor reached the middle of bis term.Inbis inaugural be declared that the able- |bodied men of th. State ought to be in- :

istructed :n the use of arms and in military j;drill;that he would not appoint drones toj office; he would use the veto power with j

Harron to sell property of bis infant chil-dren provided that the title should notpass until approved by the Probate Court,

while the general law in such cases de-clared that the court should inquire intothe circumstances and order a sale if itdeemed proper. The Governor said hecould not sanction a special billof thischaracter. His veto was effective in kill-ing it. although eighteen Senators votedagainst the veto, while fourteen supportedit. Invetoing a Senate bill to extend theprovisions of certain acts to Township4, Amador County, he said: "If thisspecies of legislation be approved, itmight be well to consider ifitwould notbe well to abolish all city and county gov-

ernments ana intrust the management ofall local concerns to the L-gislßture.' Hewas sustained by 16 to 14. (Eight years

later Governor Booth fellcalled upon tomake the same pointed suggestions).

The next veto was of Senate bill to grant

certain richts and privileges to the YrekaCreek Drainage Company. Itgranted theexclusive right to construct ana maintain adrainage tunnel for twenty-live years."The policy of the State and of the UnitedStates," said the Governor, "has been toleave the mineral lauds open, to be workedby all who choose to do so, subject to thelocal rules of the miners." This veto wassustained, lint seventeen Senators wereagainst it,to sixteen for it. Another Sen-ate bill extended the term of a certainwagon-mad franchise from twenty totwenty-five years. It was vetoed on theground that "twenty years seems to havebeen settled upon as a maximum, andthere is no good reason for extending it inthis case." This bill was passed over theveto unanimously.

On March 28, 1864, the Governor vetoedtwo Assembly bills authorizing Lucian B.liealy and the executor of Dr. Elias S.Cooper to sell real estate of minors and

residence on the southwest corner of Sut-ter and Gough streets, at 11 o'clock In themorning. Although the members of thefamily had expressed a desire that floral ;

emblems be omitted, the many friends of jthe ex-Governor could not refrain fromtendering some final token of the esteemin which they held the deceased, and nu-merous pieces composed of fragrant blos-soms were sent to the house of mourning.

Among them was a handsome piece fromthe members of the Loyal Legion com-posed of eucharist lilies and ferns. An-other was a piilow composed of whiteflowers upon which the words, "Rest, DearFriend," were displayed In purple violetsfrom 11. L. Dodge. Mrs. Jane Stanfordsent a combination cluster piece of redand white roses and maidenhair.•Among the other flower, pieces were afloral column, with a pendent wreath, andan elegant white cross lully five feet inheight.

The casket, which rested in the frontparlor of the residence, was covered withheavy black cloth, and was metallic lined.Besides tbe massive silver handles, theon ornamentation was a large plate on thelid,bearing the name, age and date of deathof the deceased. Around the bier werepiled masses of fragrant flowers.

The services were conducted by theKey. George E. Walk of Trii ity Church,and tho music was rendered by Samuel D.Mayer's Masonic choir.

"Nearer, My God, to Thee" was ren-dered by tne choir prior 10 the first read-ing of the ritual. The rector in the courseof the service gave a short eulogy of thedeceased, and then the choir sang "1Heard a Voice From Heaven" and "GoodNight."

This ended the ceremonies, and the cas-ket was borne to the hearse by the follow-ing pallbearers: Louis Parrott. ex-SenatorCharles N. Felton, Robert F. Morrow,

caution; the pardoning power he woulduse only when justice demanded it—theprisoner would not be allowed the benefitof doubts when the doubts had been passedon by court and jury; in regard to privatecharities. State aid would be a source ofpride if the State had anything to give, butappropriations of promises to pay, whileState warrants are selling in the marketat low rates, was generosity at the expenseof justice.

There was room, he thought, for muchimprovement In our educational system ;a registry law was urged. Our mining in-terests were even then, according to theGovernor, the most important of any, andhe eulogized the policy of the GeneralGovernment inreserving to itself the titleto all mineral lands and in permitting allcitizens to enter freely uoon them for min-ing purposes.

A few days after his inauguration Gov-ernor Low vetoed a Senate billto fix thecompensation of the El Dorado CountySupervisors on the ground that it pro-

-1 vided that the County Treasurer shouldpay the salaries of those officials withoutthe demands being first approved by theAuditor. This was, he said, in contra-vention of the established mode of trans- :acting the business of the several counties.'This view was sustained unanimously.On January 30, 1864, he vetoed Senate:bill concerning the Calaveras Mining Com-

pany. The certificate of the company's!incorporation had been filed in CalaverasCounty, while the mine and place of busi-ness were in San Joaquin. The companyhad transacted its business there for fouryears: the bill proposed to legalize Its

, past acts ;Ihe Governor held it was uncon-:stitutional, and the Senate sustained himby 13 to 12.

The next Senate bill vetoed was oneconcerning forcible entry and unlawful de-|tamer suits, which beheld to be ex post

facto; he was sustained by 19 to14. Sen--1 ate bill to authorize Captain William M.

heirs without first obtaining an order ofsale from the Probate Court. "1believe,"he said, "this class of legislation unwiseand contrary to the spirit and intent ofthe constitution." The Assembly passedboth bills over ihe veto, but the Senatesustained the Governor nearly unan-imously. On April 4. 1864, he vetoed theSenate bill to aid iv the construction ofthe California portion of the Pacific Kail-road on the ground that itviolated thatprovision of the constitution which de-clared "the credit of the State shallnot be loaned," etc. This veto wassustained, but there were 19 votesagainst it to 15 in its support. On thesame day was vetoed the Senate bill to au-thorize the Oakland and San AntonioSteam Navig"tion Company to improve thenavigation of San Antonio Creek. TheGovernor took the position in this vetothat tolls on navigable streams should nothe authorized, and he was unanimouslysustained.

At the same session a billby Assembly-man Joseph Wood (not Joseph M. Wood)passed both houses, proposing to vest inthe county, probate and police courts ofSan Francisco the power of committinginsane persons to asylums. . In vetoing itthe Governor observed that "the naturalresult would be that the Police Courtwould order nearly the commitment, beingin daily session"; he thought that courtshould not have anything to do with thisbusiness. Be was sustained unanimously.His Excellency vetoed three Assemblybills on the same day—one granting a roadfranchise in Amador County, be declaringthat the general laws 011 such subject weresufficient and special acts whollyunneces-sary; another like bill, the franchise beingin Marin County, on which he quoted atlength from his inaugural against speciallegislation; the third bill was to author-ize a certain administrator to sell andconvey real estate, and on this he said thecourts had ample power to order sales insuch cases. All three of these billswere passed by the Assembly over theveto by not merely two-thirds but a three-fourths vote, Charles Clayton, NathanielGray and Philip Teare voting with themajority. Two weeks later another billfrom the Assembly was presented to himauthorizing an administrator's sale with-out court order, and in launching the In-evitable veto he referred to bis objectionsto such bill and said that since his lastveto he bad again carefully examined thequestion and bad been confirmed in hisopinion. The Assembly submerged thisveto by a vote of 47 to 10. The Senate,however, cried halt! although it had alsopassed over the veto the three other As-sembly bills just above named.

In this last mentioned veto message theGovernor was pleased to use this pointedlanguage:"iam aware that the Supreme Court In

deciding on the constitutionality of a cer-tain special act, providing for a change ofvenue in a somewhat noted criminal case,impliedly approved of this class of legisla-tion coutrary to tbe opinions of the bestlegal minds in the State, but the decisionwas so repugnant to the good sense andopinions of good citizens that itis doubt-ful if a similar one could he obtained fromany court at the present time."

The case referred to was that of thelawyer Horace Smith, who had killed oneNewell, a printer, for.alleged slander ofSmith's wife, sister of Judge James H.-lardy, and later the wife of JudueT. li.Keardon of Nevada City. Being indictedfor murder, Judge Alexander Campbellof the Twelfth District Court denied bima change of the place of trial. The Legis-lature passed an iiqt changing the place oftrial from San Francisco toPlacer County.Governor John G. Downey vetoed this act,and both bouses pas-ed itover tbe veto.Judge Campbell still refused to transferthe case, on tho ground tbat it was uncon-stitutional. On an application to the Su-preme Court for a writ of mandate thattribunal rendered the decision againstwhich Governor Low declaimed as above.The opinion that the act to change thevenue in Smith's case was unconstitu.tional was written by Judge Joseph GBaldwin, and concurred In by Judge YV*VV. Cope and Chief Justice Stephen J'

Field. Smith was tried in Placer and ac-quitted.

Another Assembly bill vetoed tbat ses-sion was by Frederick Lux of Tuolumne,to grant the Union Bridge Company theright to construct a bridge across the Stan-islaus River. The general law on the sub-ject provided that any such bridge couldbe purchased by the county after fiveyears from its completion. The bill ofLux contained no such provision. Theveto, based on that omission, was unan-imously sustained, Luxhimself being pres-ent aud voting.

Early in the next session a bill waspassed reducing the salary of the CountyJudge and District Attorney of MonoCouuty. . The Governor, in approving it,said be did so with reluctance, believing it"of doubtful constitutionality andquestionable propriety." Senate bill byJudge James E. Hale' of Placer, to amendan act of the previous session dividingthat county into revenue districts, pro-vided that the Tax Collector should payinto the county treasury 15 per cent (only)of his collections. "Tho effect of thisbill."said the Governor In vetoing it, "issimply to increase the compensation of acertain Tax Collector." The Senatevetoed this veto by a vote of 25 to3, andthe Assembly rode over it by a unanimousvote of 60, including the Speaker, Yule ofPlacer.

Mark A.Evans was County Treasurerof San Joaquin from October, 1859. toOctober, 1861. He was found to be a de-faulter in the sum of $13,783 52. Thesureties, B. W. Bours and others, paidinto th« State treasury §10,569 87 on ac-count of the defalcation, leaving a balanceof $3213 65. The State sued them for thisand obtained judgment. A bill to releasethis obligation passed both houses at thesession oi 1865- and the Governor vetoedIt. He said the practice of releasing sure-ties was unjust to the tax-payers, light-ened the regard felt for such obligations,and "sureties upon bonds stand upon theirlegal rights, and Ican see no reason whythey should invoke equity to release themfrom their obligations."

But the Senate, by a vote of 21 to 4, andthe Assembly by 56 to 7, passed the billover the veto. In this majority iv theAssembly were Judge Thomas A. Brownof Contra Costa and the San FranciscansCharles Clayton, Michael Hawkins andGeorge Hearst.

The Governor vetoed a bill by Assembly-man J. F. Kidder of El Dorado to aid inthe construction of tlie Placerville andSacramento Valley and Western PacificRailroads, March 31, 1866. The bill pro-vided that the State should pay the inter-est on the companies' bonds, to be issuedat 7 per cent per annum on $750,000, and _percent interest on bonds already issuedby the Western Pacific Railroad in thesum of $1,500,000, the interest to be paidsemi-annually lor twenty years. Tocreate a fund to pay this interest a taxwas to be levied of 10 cents on each $100of taxable propsrty in the State annuallyfor twenty years. The interest to be paidwould have amounted to $2,850,000. Inre-turn the companies were to transport freeof charge public messengers. State prisonconvicts in custody, lunatics going toasylums, materials for the construction ofState buildings, articles for exhibition atState agricultural fairs and troops andmunitions of war. One of the companieswas to build and equip at least twentymiles of road each year, the other tenmiles a year. One road was 120 miles long,with nearly twenty built; the other aboutforty miles long, with thirty built. Wequote tbe veto message:

Leaving out of view the legal aud constitu-tional questions Involved,Icannot reconcilnmeasures of mis character with my settledconvictions of public policy. Is Itof sufficientImportance to the people of the whole Matethat ten miles of railroad be built betweenShingle Springs: and riacervllle lo justify acontribution ol $1,050,000?

* • * Thatthere may be do mifconcepilou Inregard to thecourse adopted by me in the approval of anact granting aid to the Central P.icltic KailroadCompany in 1804 and withholdingmy assentto the bill under consideration, 1desire to saythat when Iapproved the former act Ihad ivview the fact that Its acceptance by that com-pany released the State from a donation ofhalf a million dollars, made inlime of war, bythe Legislature of 1803. The change lv thecharacter of the donation Iconsidered at thetime advantageous to the State, tor the with-drawal from the tieasury, within a short time,of $500,000 would bave serious. v embarrassed:the Stale Onances, while a larger sum, distrib-uted through a period of twentyyears, could bemet without serious inconvenience.

The Assembly sustained this veto by avote of 61 to 7.

Ou May 18, 180"), the United States Cir-cuit Court for California confirmed to thecity of San Francisco the title of tneUnited States to ail lands within the citylimit*, with certain reservations and ex-ceptions. On March 8, 18»'6, an act ofCongress was passed in pursuance of thisdecree of court conveying the lands to thecity upou the following trust: The citywas to convey the granted lands to theparties who were in the bona-fide actualpossession thereof when the act waspassed, insuch quantities and upon suchterms and conditions as the State Legisla-ture might prescribe. After this act ofCongress, and in the same month, theCalifornia Legislature passed an act (byAssemblyman C. L. Wiggin of San Fran-cisco) to provide for the settlement of thetitles to these lauds. Governor Lowvetoed this bill. His reasons were that itdivested the city of the power and trustconfided by Congress, and organized acommission to make conveyances oftitle, an act which oniy the city couldperform, and by ordinance. The Legisla-ture could only prescribe in what quanti-ties and on what terms and conditions thecity should convey. The only participa-tion the bill allowed the city was to ap-prove the bonds of the Commissioners,pay their salaries, provide them with anoffice, clerks, etc., and to appear befoiethe Commissioners by attorney. The Gov-ernor made other objections and declaredthat the bill, ifit became a law, would dis-turb and unsettle, rather than settle, landtitles in San Francisco. This veto wassustained by the Assembly by a vote of 51to 13. Among those thirteen, besides Wig-gin, were Henry Dutton and CharlesClayton, of San Fraucisco, and H. C.Chamberlain, then of San Joaquin andsince receiver of the San Francisco LandOffice, now deceased. 7 '7,

Governor Low was in office when Con-gress passed the act donating to this Statethe Yosemite Valley and the Mariposa BigTree Grove. Inconformity thereto he ap-

pointed commissioners to take charge ofthe property. In the absence of any ap-propriation for that purpose he inducedthe United States Surveyor-General to sur-vey the two tracts, and in accordance withhis suggestion acts were passed by theLegislature accepting tbe nation's giftandproviding lor the payment for the survey.

The last great drought in our agricul-tural districts prevailed in the summer fol-lowingGovernor Low's inauguration. Inhis next biennial message he urged a gen-eral system of irrigation, and on this sub-ject he said:

From the remptest and rudest mechanical ap-pliances mentioned inhistory, to tue latest andmost perfect system established by modernscience, welearn the fact that irrigation hasbeen an Indispensable adjunct in the agricul-ture of tilt countries possessing a large scope otlevel territory. Egypt and the Roman empire,China, Italy,Holland, France, Spain and Eng-land fullyattest the wonderful and n»ver fall-ing success that has ever followed a judicioussystem of drainage and irrigation. Insome ofthe countries last named, which we are accus-tomed to consider a century behind our own inthe arts of civilization, crops of grass and Brainare grown that put to the blush the boastedproductions of our own prolinesoil.

On March 18, 1864, the Governor sent tothe Legislature a communication invok-ing a remedy for "the existing embar-rassing condition of affairs"— the floatingindebtedness of the Stale having reachedthe constitutional limit of $300,000. TheController had declined to draw any morewarrants upon the treasury until the out-standing indebtedness was reduced bypayments. The remedial measure calledfor was passed.

Alittle over one year after the Governorleft the executive chair General Grant be-came President of the United States, audappointed the ex-Governor United SatesMinister to China. On his way to . theOrient from Washington lie attended thesixiy-fourth annual dinner of the NewEngland Society in New York City, andmade a happy address, December 22, 1869.

SCENE AT EX-GOVERNOR LOW'S FUNERAL.

A Grocer's Failure.Apetition to be declared Insolvent was filed

MISS BALL'S WAY.

Lecturer, Solicitor andArt-Teacher.

AND WANTS A COMMISSION.

An Eastern Firm to SupplySchools Here.

DIRECTOR DUTTON'S SURPRISE.

Another Sensation for the Board ofEducation in the Shape of

a Requisition.

Since Director (Hyde's recent crusadeagainst teachers appropriating diminu-tives in signing certificates, the School De-partment has remained conspicuously un-obtrusive. In the midst of this unusualrun of tranquillity, however, another sen-sation bas cropped up. and although theaffair has been nipped in the bud theboard may have occasion to further inves-tigate into tbe matter of certain applica-tions for teachers' certificates which were

granted at the recent examination.Tbe affair was brought to light yester-

day, when Director Dutton. chairman ofthe Supply Committee, received an applica-

tion from Miss Katheriue Ball, principal ofthe drawing department, for an appropria-tion of $2581 for paper to be used by thescholars in their studies. Mr. Button'slong connection with the board has servedto prepare him for any ordinary surprise,but when he readoverMiss Ball's schedulebis emotion knew no bounds. He declaredthat the demand was preposterous beyondreason, and that Miss Ball had either madea mistake in her calculation? or consideredthe Board of Education a sort of bankinginstitution tor tbe benefit of teachers. Hestated emphatically that the committeewould refuse to consider the matter, andthat unless Miss Ballaccepted the suppliesusually allowed her department sbe wouldhave to content herself with none at all.

The fact of Miss Bail's appointment hassubsequently given food for considerablediscussion among the Directors, it beingalleged that certain facts regarding herqualifications for fillingthe position werewithheld or denied by her in making theusual application.

Itappears that Miss Ball bad been en-gaged for a number of years as a travel-ing agent lor the large printing bouse ofPrang &Co. of New York. Aside fromher duties as a solicitor among retail deal-ers throughout the country her specialtyhas been tbat of introducing a system ofdrawing for use in tbe public schools.Being endowed with oratorical talent shehas found it quite advantageous io lecturebefore educational assemblages wheneverthe occasion arose, while during the pasttwo years her efforts have been directedtoward enlightening this coast upon newtheories in the study of art, of which shethought the woolly West was in greatneed.

The system expounded by Miss Ball isknown as the "Prang system" aud a3 anatural consequence the paper and materialbest adapted to its study are manufacturedby Prang & Co. of New York.

Upon arriving in this city a few monthssince Miss Ball was seized with a desireto become an instructress in the publicschools. She accoidingly made out an ap-plication in which she look great rains tocite recommendations of high order. Whenbeing considered by the Board of Educa-tion the fact became known that certainrelations existed between the applicantand the firm of Prang & Co., but whencalled upon for an explanation, it is saidthat Miss Ball denied that such was thecase, claiming to be entirely independentof any house dealing in school supplies.

Upon this statement the plication wascarried by "the niaj rity" and when theschool term opened on the 7ih inst. MissBall was placed incharge of the drawingdepartment.

When seen yesterday afternoon at theold Commercial High School on Powellstreet, Miss Ball admitted being in theemploy of Prang &Co. at the time her ap-plication was hied with the board, but as-sumed that the denial was the result of amisunderstanding.

"Itwas not my intention to apply for aposition as instructress in tbe publicschools when 1 arrived in this city .lastsi ring," she continued, "but as Isaw thatthe drawing department was so far be-hind the times, 1was seized with a desireto introduce Prang's improved systemsimply for the sake of humanity, and itwas witb tbis understanding that Iwasinduced to enter the field. No! No! 1wouldn't stay in San Francisco for morethan a year under any circumstances; butyou see my intention is to introduce thissystem and my successor can take it up."

Bundles of colored drawing-paper werelying about on the desks in the roomwhere the conversation took place. Oithe band surrounding each was inscribed•'Prang's best." Anumber of small boxescontaining models were similarlybranded,as were also other materials which cameinto view.

Miss Ball asserted that the paper inquestion had been manufactured in thiscity, but In order to establish the Prangmark as the only standard she had giveninstructions that the packages should hearthe name of the Eastern firm.

She stated Unit this order was simply asmall one, and was made up here becauseof the delay caused by the recent tie-up inforwarding a supply which bad been or-dered in New York.

She maintained that in many of thelarge Eastern cities it was customary forthe Board of Education to supnlv tlmschools not only with drawing materials

but standard t7xi book* and general sup-plies; that upon entering the departmenthern it was understood that all suppliesused in teaching drawing were to be thusfurnished, which accounted for the requi-sition handed in yesterday.

One of the leading members of theboard, who desires his namH withheld inconnection with the affair, and whose at-tention has beeu specially directed towardadvancing the art department in theschool, "aid that there was no reason whythe supplies should not De purchased inthis city. Be. asserted that the papermanufactured here was quite as good asany Eastern make, while the same modelswere on sale at almost any of the largerart stores along MarKet street.Inregard to Miss Ball's denial that she

was associated with the Prang Coaipaaywhen the matter was brought up, hestated emphatically that the position wasonly given alter it had been thoroughlyunderstood that no such relations existed.

it is quite probable that the whole affairwillbe sifted at the next meeting of theboard, while in the meantime Miss Ball'sfamous schedule will be pared down,with a possibility that local merchantswillreap the Harvest.

RETURNING HOME.

Most of the Militia WillBe Back To-Day.
