SAN FRANCISCO, March 8.—The Call publishes the result of inquiries regarding the recent mil- itary movements, from which it eppears all armms of the Second Regiment of National Guards have been removed from the various cowpany armories ana deposited in the old City Hall or Central Police Station, where a guard of a Lieutenant and ten men is kept over them. Companies B and C of the FirstRegiment havejbeen concentrated at the armory of the latter company, and the arms of Company G, of the Second Kegiment, have been placed injtheir charge. An officers’ guard is now mounted nightly at the armory. The Third Regiment is under arms. The armo- ry ot the First Regiment is closely guarded and no one is allowed to enter. The arms ot the thiee cavalry companies have been removed from their armory, but to what locality is un- known, but probabiy to the old City Hall. Camp regulations haye been estab- lished, and ‘‘grand rounds’’ visitthe varions posts nightly. Thearms ol the Second Regi- _ment have been removed from the armories, and guards are detailed every night to wateh over other company property. The Third Regiment bas been concentrated atthe Olym pic Club building, and those companies of the First not accommodated at the armory of Company C are at the regimental quarters, corner Of Howard and New Montgomery streets. U. 8S. MILITARY. Gen. McDonald, commanding the Division of the Pacific, was telegraphed yesterday from Washington to bring all available troops in his division to San Francisco, and companies amounting inallto 500 are already en route, with more to follow, probably 1,500 altogether. A DEEP MYSTERY. Itisimpossi!1] to discover by whose orders these movements are male, as offtieers refuse to givefanyjinformation, but itis conjectured that the movements are ander the direction of Gen. McDowell and due to representations made to Washington authorities by Col. Bee, Vice Consul in China, regarding thetsupposed dangerin which the Chinese stand. It ig understood the present precautions will be maintained until asettlement of the exiat- ing agitation is had, at least until the ques- tion of the constitutionality of the law forbid- ding corporations to employ Chinese has been decided by the United States Courts and the question of the condemnation of Chinatown ) is settied. The Second Regiment is disposed to view the removal of their arms with indignation, and many wembers as- sert it is aninsult to the regiment, whose loyal- ty tothe State and to the cause of law and order igunquestionabie. The reason assigned “by the Siticars for the act is that the arms of the regimeft, being scattered around at a number of company armories, are liableto seizure in the event of the éxpected movement by the dis- orderly classes, and their removal to the old City Hall is merely precautionary, WORKINGMEN are considerably excited over these move- ments and many assert that the authorities are trying to force a quarrel. Others say the move- ment igs designed to bluff the Board of Health inthe matter of the condemnation of China- town, while still others hold that the whole thing ts duetothe unfounded fears of the au- thorities. THREATENING PLACARDS. Placasds are being posted in prominent places aboutthe city warning employers of Chinese to desist from that practice; and vaguely hintingattheterrible consequence in the event ofrefusal. Pointed reference is also made to the condition of the employed. They are signed by the ‘‘Council of Thirteen.’’ ARRIVAL OF TROOPS. Company I, First KReguiar Cavalry and por- tion of Company G, Eighth Infantry, arrived this morning from Camp Halleck, Nevada, and proceeded to the Presidio. What is Said in the East. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, March 8.—In the matter of the use of troops to protect the Chinese in Califor- nia, President Hayes is understood to hold that the posse comitatus law precfudes such interference unless the assistance is asked by the Executive ot California, who is bound to observethe treaty, whichis.a part of the su- preme law. Gen. Sherman says no orders have been sent to the troops,and heis inclined to think none will be\unless the Governor requests it. Nothing is known at the Chinese Legation of a delegation from the six Chinese companies being og the way, and there have been no re quests made by the Legation in behalf of those companges. Hostility to the Chinese coming here inghumbers is being manifested. Their comingtEast now is said to be under contract to také the place of striking laundresses in Troy and elsewhere. i. NEW YORK. 5 Redpath’s ‘Pictures of Ire.¢ “@ypA.n Indiana Scheme—— “sy” .« Special to the Post-Dispatc NEW ¥Yor«K, March 8.—James Redpath, the Tribune’s correspondent in Ireland, writes: ‘‘The Dean of Cashel has addressed me a let- ter thag tells the same sad story of lifeamo g the lowly ip Ireland that basso often moved the breasts of the civilized world. Like nine out ot evergten ofthe cultivated priests whom I have mét, the Dean does not hesitate to at- tribute the improvished condition of the peo- pleto. the disgraceful system of land tenure that prevails in Ireland, asystem that would make a @esert inten years pt Iowa or Illinois. There ig an impression in America that agitation against the landed proprietors in Ireland is an agrarian movement. It is nothing of the sort. It isan honest effort to remove the causes of famine. The evideace is overwhelming and comes from every county to show fhat the landlords of Ireland ere not contributing a shilling to the relieffund, but, as a Class, they are mercilessly enforcing their legal claims to their pound of flesh from their starving tenants.’” ; AWN IXDIANA SCHEME, | A letter from Indiana says: William - E. nr eal : 4a s potehes ae kanee saying trast’ C. YP. - untington, principal owner,has bought the English, millionaire banker, if. hard money managers make any show in the State, is to have the second place on the National ticket, no matter Who getsthe first. Hendricks is to be Secretary of State or have either of the first- class missions, and McDonald is to return to the Senate. The Indiana delegation in the Na- tional Convention is to give a complimentary yote to Hendricks and then go over to the lead- ing man, THE ELECTION LAWS. | At Washington the Supreme Oourt is expect- ed to make public the decisions on two cases befere it, in which the constitutionality of the election laws have been brought in question. One of these cases is that of Augustus F. Clarke, Judge of Elections in Cincinnati. The impression is that the court will hold the elec- tion laws to be constitutional. In that case moderate Democrats, it is asserted, believe Congress is bound without further delay to ap- propriate money for the expenses at eleetio of Marshals and Supervisors, and that the true remedy lies in an appeal to the people at the polls.
