In the Alia California of the Uih June,
there are an address of the Legislative As

to the people of California ; a proclam
tion to the people of California by w B. Ri -

a State Government. Before further refer
nn"1 to those several JocumenU, it may be
wall to slate that the question at issue be
tween the people of San Francisco or of
California, and the United StAles authori
lies -there, ia thin : The latter contend that
the laws of California, as they existed be
fore the war, are still in force, so far as they
can be made applicable to the present state
of things, and that they shall ramaiu in
force unul auperceded by others passed by
a temtorral or Slate legislature, acting un
der the aulhoriiy and sanction of the Con

Gen. Riley in his proclamatioji says .
'The laws of California, not inconsistent
Willi the laws, constitution and treaties of
the United Stales, are still in force and
j must continue in force till cnangeu oy

This being the cue, lis calls a conven

On the other side it is contended that ihe
