The Senate then look up the special order— Bill No. 382— An Act to provide for the organization, I oration and government Of merged and con solidated cities and counties of more than 100,000 population, pursuant to tbe provisions of Section 7, Article XI., of the Constitution of this State (by Mr. Traj lor)— commencing at Section 85. Leave of absence was granted Senators Client and Langford for the balance of the day, the an nouncement being made that they were {.aired on all votes on the charter. Various amendments were proposed, discussed and voted upon as the reading ol the bill progressed, Mr. fcsos making a determined fight against all the political features of the bill. Mr. Gorman offered an amendment to Section 86, making the. Board of Election C nimissioners to consist of three, to be appointed by the Mayor, no I two of "thorn shall be of the same party. The amendment was adopted after considerable discussion. Mr. JoiixsON-offered a substitute for all of the bill after Section 87- This brought on a heated debate, j during which Messrs. Exos, Conoer and Corman denounced the bill bitterly, and Messrs. TaAVIoR, Neumaxx a"d Dickixsox defended it as icing timply a re-tiiactinent of the present consolidation Act. Mr. Joiixsox finally withdrew the substitute and the consideration of the bill was continued. Pending consideration of the bill the Senate took the usual recess. AFTERNOON SESSION. The Setate reassembled at 1:30 P. '_ President Mansfield in the chair. 1 Roll called and a quorum present. Mr. HtTseoa was granted leave of absence until Monday at 2P. 11. The Senate then resumed consideration of the so called San Francisco charter, and the procets of amendment went on as before. on motion of Mr. Tratlor, at 3:40 ft v. the Senate adjourned. ASSEMBLY. Sacramento, March 20, ISSO. The Assembly me' at 9:30 a. ii., Speaker Cow deiy in the chair. On roll call a quorum was present. Mr. York asked leave of absence until Monday for the Committee on Mining and Mechanic Arts. Granted. the equalization bill. Mr. Mat asked the indulgence of the House to take up Assembly Bill No. 181; relative to the State Board of Equalization. The Board was waiting lor j the hill to ess. The bill was read by the Clerk, and Mr. Leach moved to amend one section, claiming that as the bill stool it gave the Board such powers as they I should not be clothed with. It was giving them j appellate jurisdiction— something unheard of in any- State of the Union. Two of the members of the Board desired it should be stricken out, Mr. Trass thought the amendment should not prevail. The authority was given tor a good pur pose, and the Board should have the jurisdiction referred I p. sir. Yolxo said instances were known where the Assessor bad as-essed the property too.low, and the Board should leave the power to raise it. Mr. May coincided with Mr. Tyler. The clause was calculated tor.achno more than a hundred men. .Mr. Bexxett thought the bill ignored the County Boards; when they should not ba ignored, and that the matter should be regulated through them. Mr. DuUrutz said this was a bill against land no- l nopoly, an i those favor of such monopoly would 1 fight it here and everywhere. People should have the power to Ukc their case's before the State Board j of Equalisation, ami he was in favor of granting this, and hoped the clause would not be stricken out of the bill. The w.y to break up land monop- j oly was by carrying out the revenue laws in pursu- ance of the principles of the new Constltuti a. Mr. Cook Hoped the clause would be stricken out. Under the revenue law the tend should be taxi according to its cash value and us situation. The State Board equalized the different counties. The matter of equalizing the county taxation should be left to the County Boards. Mr. Bsunsos said the new Constitution clearly gave the right ol appeal, but, as shown by Article Mil., Section 9, appeals should be considered by both the State and County Boards, and the appeals should be entertained by both Boards, Mr. Fox said the bill did not conform to the raw Constitution in the respect referred to by Mr. Hart son. However, the State Board should familiarize themselves with assessment rolls of the different counties, but they could not be expected to know all about personal assessment. As the bill was con strued by some of the gentlemen, the State Board would act on individual assessment. Let it be done by appeal. Let the County Boards first consider it, and then let it be taken up on appeal to the State Board. The bill ought to be amended as proposed. Mr. Yoi'xu Said there was a variance between the language of the Mil and the Constitution 'that, per- haps, was not intended. To avoid any possibility of doubt he thought it would be better 'to adept the plain language of the Constitution. air. Hardy coincided with this view. Mr. TI_SR also favored the striking out of the words, as contemplated in the amendment of Mr. Young, because it gave the power intended by the Constitution. The amendment of Mr. Young was adopted. Mr. May moved to refer bill No. 181 to the Ju diciary Committee to perfect it, so it could pass without vernal amendments. Carried on a division— ■Jti to '2.'.. The ayes and noes wore called for by Mr. Bkalx iiart, and were ayes— 23, noes 33. The motion was i therefore decided 10-;t. Mr. Yoexo then offered an amendment to line 37, inserting the words, of the Constitution, any as -11111 therein." Adopted. SPECIAL ORDER. j Assembly Bill Xo. 439— An Act to amend Sections 1917, 1931, 1889, 1311, 1955, 1900, 1973, 1974, 1975, i 1932, VJiP, 1990, 1302, 2022, 2028, 2039, 2059, 2086, 2077. 1942, 1870, ÜBS, 1985, 2094 and 21 14, of the Po litical Code of California, to repeal Section 1975 of said Code, approved March 30, 1575, and Section 1991 of said Code, and to add a new section to said I Code, to do own and numbered as Section 1977, relating to the State militia (by Mr. Walker)— was made the special order for Monday, at the request of -Mr. Walker. Mr. Mat asked leave of absence until Monday. anted. i Several bills were read the first time and ordered to be printed. t BILLS 'iNTRODCCm Mr. Carp, of Sacramento— amend the Code of Civil Procedure. •By Mr. Fislatsox- An Act authorizing County Clerks to collect fees for naturalisation of aliens.

The Committee on State Hospitals recommended the payment of 1176, mileage fees to J. ft, Remy for hospital investigations ordered by the House and committee. Adopted. „.u •.n m: ins DEBRIS SILL. Mr. Co* Mr. Cars of Sacramento thought plenty of oppor tunity had been given to the friends of the bill to perfect it.? They had endeavored to introduce a bill and perfect it ever since the commencement of the session, and it was no more perfect now than at the start. The bill was made the special order for Tuesday by a vote of 51 to 20. Mr. Brooks presented a remonstrance from the county of Butte opposing the enactment of the ___? rown drainage bills, or any law which should burden the county with a bonded debt, un l«J«tbe people had to vote upon the propot ;'_;- THE FIVE MIXtTB Rett Mr. Tram called v the resolution restricting, for me remainder of th session, speed es to five min utes, except as to the author, who should be al lowed ten minutes. v,. Quite lengthy discussion ensued upon this prop-" ojßUon. I Finally -an amendment offered by Mr.' ■aCCAKTUV, of San Francisco, allowing ten minutes for speeches and twenty to the author of the hi!'. under consideration, was" voted down, ayes 28, noes 35, and Mr. Tyler's resolution restricting the speeches to five minutes was adopted, aye- 48, noes IS. The new rule goes into effect on Monday. During th.i wrangle tins resolution Mr. Adams said, from the disposition manifested, he was satisfied there would be no more legislation done this s ssion, and he therefore moved that the As sembly adjourn sine die. The Chair decided that the motion was not in order. COMMITTEE CLERKS.

LESSEPS BEFORE THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. M. de Leasep3 was subjected to a very searching examination before the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce last week, the spokesman of the Chamber, Captain Merry, being evidently particu larly well informed concerning the inter o:canic canal project, and so being enabled to put very incisive questions, and to bring out the weak places in the scheme. The most difficult, and the least satisfac torily explained features of the undertak ing are, the carrying of the. canal across the Chagree river over 40 feet below the level of the river bed, and the controlling of the flood-waters of the Chagres by an enormous dam. This dam is to be nearly a mile long and ISO feet high, and as the heavy rains on the isthmus often raise the Chagre3 40 feet in a single night, it is evident that the flood-waters are liable to pour into the dam in immense volumes, and with very great force. It is proposed to construct a sup plementary canal to carry the surplus waters from the dam a sort of waste weir, in fact but if this supplementary canal is {as it must be) built alongside of the main canal, it is evident that it may produce c.3 serious embarrassments as the Chagres at flood is capable of creating. The carrying of the canal across the river, the dam project, the question of a tide lock, and tho stability of the cuttings through swamp land so light as to be al most incohesive, all appear to constitute difficulties of a far more formidable charac- ter than M. tie Lesseps is willing to ac- i knowledge. His main characteristic in- I deed seems to bo it superb aplomb and self confidence which leads him to answer all objections by referring to the triumph over great difficulties obtained by him in the building of the. Suez Canal.. It must be remarked, however, that there is really no I analogy between the two schemes fin an engineering point of view, and that ths most serious obstacles on the Isthmus arise from peculiarities of topog- raphy and climatic conditions such as M. de L we] s lias had no experience of in his past career. The ptoject is, no doubt, a magnificent one on the surface, and its suc cessful accomplishment would crtainly add greatly to the facilities of i i .ercial communication. Whether au'&ng the ad vantages which it would create any bene ■;-.fits to San Francisco arc to-be anticipated, is, however, quite another question, and one which the merchants of that city will i naturally consider well before giving their indorsement and support to the enterprise. -i-» CANNON'S SENTENCE. Gannon, Kearney's lieutenant and. rival incendiary pouter, "has been sentenced, like his leader, to six months imprison ment and a fine of a thousand dollars. Like Kearney he will appeal, and it is to be hoped that both these cases will be passed upon by the .Supreme Court promptly. TII2 impression among lawyers r appears to bo that the', legality of the scut', nces is clear, and 1 that the appellate Court will consequently confirm them. If that happens Kearney and Gannon will at once be sent to the House of Correction, and the j last opportunity for. organized resistance to the law, will occur. If Kear ney's followers accept the situation quietly there will bs good ground for the conclu- sion that the back of the seditious agitation r is broken, and that-better days are in store for San Francisco. Kearney and Gannon, however, are neither all, nor the most mis chievous, of the disturbers, and there can be no, guarantee for permanent peace unless the leaders without distinction are removed from "all opportunities for further dema '*-.gogism..;' ~'2-: _-— Governor Foster, of Ohio, has written to Governor Cornell, asking that an Ohio bat tle flag,' which' is among the collection of battle flags at Albany, may be returned to Ohio. THE DUTY OF THE LEGISLATURE. 1 The debates in the Assembly on the de- _ oris question indicate the hopelessness of all attempts to arrange the matter on the j lines which have thus far been followed, j The most conspicuous obstacle to legisla- tion is the reluctance of members to assume any responsibility in the premises. They j are continually falling back .upon fancied j eonceptious of what their constituents will say to this or that proposition. They are j afraid to trust their own judgments, no doubt because they feel that they have not sufficiently examined the question, yet they defer with strange timidity to the opinions of those who know less about it than, they do themselves. The general outcome, therefore, threatens to be a failure of all the plans proposed, and this notwithstanding the fact that the imperative need of prompt remedial action has been established beyond controversy. It appears to us that a most ca lamitous and discreditable failure, entail ing heavier responsibility than could be created by the breakdown of jf any attempt to deal practically with the sub ject, is before the Legislature, unless a determination is quickly reached to shake off the paralyzing and confusing influences now in operation. And it seems to us that at such a juncture there ought to be enough common sense and perception of duty among members to convince them that the case is one* in which they must act with reference to the general interests in volved, and without reference to the special conflicts of purpose which tend to defeat all action. It is not true, to be gin with, that the data for intelligent legislation are unattainable. In fast the data are now in the possession of the Legislature.. The reports of the State En gineer and of Colonel Mendell afford all o the information requisite to establish sound and safe conclusions upon. These reports show that it is necessary to build dams in the mountains to keep back the coarser debris, and that in order to restore the rivers to their former carrying capacity it is also necessary to levee their banks. These two methods of relief and restoration form the foundation of the relief problem, and if the question is to be handled at once wisely and eco nomically, they should be united in what ever plan is adopted. Thus far, however, members have shown themselves quite as undecided as to what ought to be done, as in regard to the methods to be pursued. The intimate connection between the building of dams and j the building of levees has seemed beyond the comprehen sion of .most members. Farmers who represent constituencies already injured by the debris have declared that they only asked for a system of dams, and did not want any levees, being evidently ignorant of the fact that no dams can save the lands of their constituents, unless levees also are constructed. The question of raising the revenue, however, has been the rock upon which all the propositions have been shipwrecked. The bill which now hangs in the Assem bly, and which is so framed that it would reduce the districts to the people who were directly injured, alone, and thus se cure the failure of any action whatever, through the poverty of the districts, is, as we have already pointed out, equiva lent to no legislation at all. The Assembly cannot afford to play with this grave issue by passing so futile and abortive a meas ure-. Tho principle of forcing the farmers directly injured to bear so largo a share of the expense is altogether unjustifiable, and moreover could not be put in operation for the reasons above stated. If it is proposed that the miners alone should pay for a sys tem of dams, it is possible that they would accept that arrangement, provided that they could obtain somo guarantee against claims for damages hereafter on the part of the farmers. Such a method would in fact be tantamount to giving the miners license to go on with their work, even though the dams should prove to be ineffective in holding back the debris. To this the farmers would of course object strenuously, nor could the Legislature in fact deprive them of their common law right of action for tort, in such a way. It therefore appears that there are strong objections to this as well as to the district plans which have been submitted, and it is impossible to de vise any scheme whatever which will not antagonize some interest. But the fact that the subject abounds with difficulties etounot relieve the Legislature of responsi bility. It remains true, notwithstanding all these uoulliots of purpose and interest, that unless remedies are applied without delay the gravest and most irremediable injuries will be inflicted, net only upon in dividuals, but upon the State. And when all is said that can be said on the proposi tions which have been discussed, the con viction must become stronger that the most just, defensible and statesmanlike policy is that which contemplates the con struction of relief works with the revenues .of the State. It is said that "the people will not stand such an arrangement. How do mem bers know what the people will stand Do they believe the people to be so blind to community interests, so absorbed in penny wise and pound-foolish habits, so ignorant of the part which community principle plays and has always played in govern ment, State and national, that they would refuse to hear reason on this matter ;We believe that the fear of popular displeasure is a mere phantom conjured up by super sensitive j political mentalities, and that it j has no justification in fact. But whatever i the truth may be in that regard, this case is one which demands independent action from the Legislature. Tho representatives of the people are not merely delegates. They are expected to have minds of their own. They are sent here to transact business which the people j collectively cannot undertake, and they j are supposed to possess enough sagacity J and good sense to decide upon; the best means of doing' that business. They are confronted with a situation in which a I dominant necessity for action is the lead ing feature. They find, outride of the j scientific conclusions which at once call for action and indicate the nature of the reme dies, a great mass of confused and confus j ing opinions, much of which is bred of jarring interests and ignorance of the sub ject in issue. If they attempt to seek a i guide in this whirlpool of discordant coun sels they must fail, and I their experience i hitherto ought to convince them of the i hopelessness of that programme. There remains, then, but one method of solution, I and it is to recur to the scheme of 'general j taxation. The?' fact that there is opposi tion to this .goes for very little, for I I there .is opposition to every proposal. j i But it is significant that the opposition I to this does not 'come from the outside, as I does all the rest of the opposition. 4 There j is nowhere any organized or even tangible j resistance to the general taxation plan' in the State. That plan has failed e\v Mexico, and such unoc cupied mrricultura.l lands as may be found in that vicinity. The Uneompafa :re Cites agree to remove to and settle upon agricultural lands upon Grand river, in Colorado, and such other unoccupied agri cultural lands as may be found in that vicinity and in the Territory of Utah. The White River Utes agree to remove to and settle upon agricultural lands on the Uintah Reservation, in Utah. Senator Teller opposes the granting of the unqualified options above set forth in regard to the Southern and Uncompahgre Utes, be cause the agricultural lands in New Mexico and Utah, in the vicinity of La Plata and Grand rivers, having long been open to set tlement, are, he says, already occupied, and the practical effect of granting these options wid be to allow the Utes to absorb nearly 800,000 acres of agricultural land within the boundaries of their present reservation, which in his opinion will leave little or no agricult ural land within those boundaries to support the anticipated settlement upon its vast ex tent of mineral territory. Tbe li;* Investigation-Reticence or the It i messes. Washington, March 21.it. —The House Committee on Indian Affairs is likely to have a case of insubordination to take care of, and it may be that the public will see the novel spectacle of a party of Indians brought before the House for refusal to answer questions, as white men have often been. Tne examina tion of Chief Ouray has been going on for several days, and tho committee have been immensely entertained by the statements of the famous Indian but when a delicate sub ject was reached the outrages that were committed upon the women of the -Meeker agency Ouray began to show for the first time that taciturnity which has always been represented a? characteristic of his race. His wife, who it a woman of uncommon intelli gence and ability, was tried, but found even more reticent than her husband. Then Jack and Towanack, two of the associated chiefs, were placed ujon the stand, but none of them can be persuaded to speak a word in rela'ion to the barbarous treatment which the Meeker family received from their tribe. The committee were amused at first at the ingenious methods of evasion, but after consultation it was agreed that thia was an important branch of the i inquiry, and the attitude of the committee became mere serious. Chairman Scales ex plained to the Indians that the committee had been directed to ascertain the true his tory of the whole affair, and told them that they would be expected to relate all they knew about it. He dilated upon the serious ness of the question, and the effect their answers might have upon legislation to be hereafter adopted by Congress. The com mittee, he explained, were in possession of the statements of the victims, and it was due to the Indians that their version of the cir cumstances he given. The committee should insist upon a full and accurate statement of all their information, and would detain them in Washington until that statement was given. Ouray and his companions listened attentively as Mr. Scales' remarks were in terpreted to them, and then left the commit tee-room. It is learned that they have had several councils over the situation, but their decision is not known. The .Unfinished Dnahle-Tiirrcttd Mon itors. [Special to the Record-Union.) Washington, March 21st.— The Senate Naval Affairs Committee will this week sub mit, a written report on the House joint reso lution providing for the creation of a Board of navy officers to examine the present con dition of our unfinished double-turreted mon itors and report whetr*eror not it is advisable to complete them. The committee will, at the same time, incidentally report on the res olution of the California Legislature which asks an appropriation to complete the Mo nadnock, now at the Mare Island Navy Yard. They will report. that the original contract for the construction of the Monad nock was entered into legally, and that it is entitled to consideration upon the grounds if equity, whicfi they say arc wholly wanting in the cases of the Puritan, the Amphitrite and the Terror.' the contracts for their construc tion having been unauthorized by law. Nevertheless the majority of the committee are of the opinion that, as the plans of the Monadnock's construction were furnished by the contractor, it will not be wise or prudent to anthorize her completion upon those plans until after the proposed Board shall have care fully examined the question whether they should not be changed or, perhaps, wholly abandoned. A Brora for Heudilrkst. Chicago, March 21st.— The Inter-Ocean's Washington special says Senators McDon ald and I Vooihees, of Indiana, the Demo cratic Representatives and some Indiana Democrats "resident in Washington, held a meeting last evening and organized a Club to help on the Hendricks "boom." Represent ative Cobb was chosen President, and the headquarters will soon be opened and a literary bureau put in operation. His friends profess to entertain j considerable hope that he may get the nomination at Cincinnati, basing it largely upon the fact that he is the second _ choice of so many Democrats, espe cially in the South. Voorhees encouraged his brothers by. the statement that Horatio Seymour has recently said that Hendricks is the man who ought to be nominated, and there is no question but that he could carry New York State. •.i.^„'V w.«wi §j Judge Field and the Presidency, r [Special to the Rxcord-Usiox.) tL'.'.J IV Washington, March 21st.— The Sunday Herald,> which for some time has been as siduously working up the Hancock "boom," contains the following editorial paragraph to-day "Mr. Justice Field has made him -1 self honored among non-partisan lawyers for the ability with which he has defended our. Constitution and expounded the. necessary, distinctions between State and Federal power. We have not thought Judge i Field an avail able candidate this year for the Presidency, 1 but the disgust of the people at the prostitu tion of the judiciary to partisan purposes may i some day become so deep that they will set the seal of their condemnation upon it by de manding for President just such a jurist as i Mr. Justice Field."

EPHRATAn (Pa.), March 21st.— During the progress of a-i entertainment given by the public school ia ths public hall at Lincoln last night, at which about 500 persons ware present, part of the floor gave way, precipi tating between 100 and 150 persons to the floor below. Many escaped by jumping out of the windows, which are about twelve feet from the ground. About 30 persons were in jured, some severely. Among the latter are Mrs. Jacob Koenigmaeher, Miss Alice Bow man, Ada Springer, Ada Miller, Laura Erb and Christie Bingatnan. During the con fusion the scholars rushed on the stage, over turning two coal oil lamps, one of which ex ploded,: setting fire to the carpet; but the fire was extinguished before any serious damage was done. Intense excitement pre vailed throughout the neighborhood. it is not yet certain that all injured will recover. Pension Matters. Chicago, March 21st.— The Inter- Ocean's Washington special states that pension claim agents in Washington have openly boasted that they were going to steer the select com mittee which is investigating the reforms pro posed iv the pension business. They are evi dently trying to oust Commissioner Bentley, and that they have considerable assistance from the committee is quite as evident. They first attempted to get possession of documents in the Pension Office, and failing in that to have the claim agents examine, with them as experts, the papers they wished to see. Bentley, however, refused to admit the claim agents, offering to furnish the committee with expert clerks to assist them in looking over the papers. The claim agents were there fore excluded, mush to their chagrin. Two Murders Caused by WUs-rj. New York, March 21st.— Two brutal mur ders occurred in town to-day— both the results of drunkenness. An Italian named Drango stabbed Bacoli, also an Italian, for refusing to pay for rum ordered in a Spring-street sa loon. A man named Campbell, while at tempting to stop a street fight in Eleventh street, was fatally stabbed by one of the com batants named Delauey. Fire in a Newspaper Office. Boston, March 21st. A fire occurred in the Journal newspaper building to-night. Most of the loss falls upon F. A. Searle, job printer, whose _ loss is considerable. The Journal composing and counting-rooms were much damaged, but the paper will be issued as usual to-morrow, having received the facilities of the Herald. It is believed that the Journal's loss is covered by insurance. No estimate of losses. The Hill Scandal. Washington, Match L'Ut.— Senator Ben. Hill is having a hard time eluding Jessie Raymond and her baby at the Capitol, and even at his own house. He calls into requi sition policemen, evasion, skulking and de ceit. Hill does not have the woman ar rested, and sho says she only wants to con front him in Court. The papers are full of the scandal. Reduction of* the Hours of Labor. St. Louis, March 21st.— Trades As sembly held a mass meeting this afternoon, and unanimously adopted resolutions urging a reduction of the hours of labor, calling on Congress to establish an eight-hour law, and declaring that they would do their utmost to destroy the Congressmen of any political party who speaks against it. The meeting was very earnest, hut orderly. Anxious for a Speedy Trial. New York, March 21st.— E. Will iams, by his counsel, expresses a reaelineas and anxiety for a speedy indictment and trial on the charges brought against himself and his wife by. his aunt, Mrs. Delia Little, and claims to be fully able to establish a rectitude of purpose and action on the part of his wife and himself in all their relations with Mrs. Little. Arrival of Chinese. New York, March 21st.— Fifty Chinamen arrived by the Erie road yesterday. Most of them go to towns in the interior, an agent having beforehand selected places to settle. Tilde n in Pennsylvania. PmBBUEG, March 21st.— The Democratic primaries of Alleghany county were over whelmingly Tilden in their result. FOUEIUX NEWS: Panel] at Home. Cons, March 21st.— Parnell arrived at (Jueenstown to-day. He was enthusiastically received on landing, and to-night was enter tained at a dinner given in his honor here by the Farmers' Club.' Among those present at the banquet was Biggar and Finnegan, mem bers of Parliament, and Davittand Daly, the indicted agitators. A large crowd, with bands of music and. torches, accompanied Parnell to the station on his departure for Dublin. The demonstration was much smaller than antici pated, and' there was a marked absence of persons of local influence. Russia and France. Paris, March 21st.— Prince Orloff depart ed without paying any official visit to or leaving his card with President Grevy or Premier De Freycinet. Persons who are in a position^ to judge assert that Russia has eagerly seized the opportunity tot showing a coolness to France, in order to retrieve the blunder of Gortschakoff's famous open ad vances to her. Matters were so managed that the extradition of Hartmans was re fused, whereupon an offended air was as sumed. Now that the nightmare of the France-Russian alliance is dispelled, Prince Bismarck can offer Russia his hand. The Kuldjii Question. St. PCTEnSBuno, March 21st— Russia in tends to renew the negotiations on the Kuldja question only through the Russian Charge d" Affaires at Pokin. It is therefore likely that the visit to St. Petersburg of the Chi nese Embassador at London will be fruitless. Imperial Decree. St. Petersbukg, March 21st. —An Im perial decree is published, placing a separate corps of gensd'arines temporarily under the immediate control of General Meiikoff. Negotiations Commenced.

Metropolitan Theater.— The Kentucky Jubilee Singers opened at the Metropolitan Saturday. They give a' final entertainment to-night at reduced rat_3— so cent* and 25 cents reserved seats 75 cents, to be had at the confectionery store, next door to the theater. The company consists of about a dozen negro vocalists and character actors, who entertain and amuse with success. Their manner of entertaininjg differs from that of the Tennessee Jubilee Singers, in that they do not Routine tiiemsslves alone to the weird and quaint souga of the plantation camp meeting, but fcive also variety, minstrel and concert num bers, and mime burlesque and farcical scenes. The troupe races some good voices, the leading one being that of Maggie Webb, a mezzo soprano of good quality and sufficient power for the business in hand. Her voice is sympathetic and harmonizes well with a very stroutf supporting' contralto and a giiod basso. The tenors and baritone are fair. The company has a number of funny people," whose comicalities in song, speech and dance have been warmly applauded on each of the three appearances made here. The company is aided by a quartet of ex travagant character actors from the "Golden City Company." who appeared as the big four," and performed the song and dam of that act" very well indeed. It i3to be re gretted that these four were led on the first night into some unseemly extravagance but last night, convinced of their error, they were correct, and showed marked improve meat, The lecture" of Crusoe, one of the Jubilees" last evening, bristled with neat and apt local interpolations and good hits, which especially pleased, if the excessive laughter following them is to be taken as evi dence of the fact. Finn at Elk Grove.— Friday morning last at an early hour dense volumes of smoke were discovered issuing from the upper win dows of Professor Foster's Academy, and be fore assistance could be obtained the fire had L'sined such headway that nothing could check it, ami loon only -a few smoldering timbers and twisted girders among a heap of ashes marked the site of the institution. Professor Foster went to the place about a year ago, taking all his capital, which he in vested in this building and the apparatus it contained. Great sympathy ti expressed for the 1 peer, and already a considerable sum has been subscribed to help him in rebuilding the academy. The building and apparatus cost $15,000, and was insured for $5,000, It is thought the lire was the work of an incen diary, but as yet no positive evidence has been obtained. Good Templars' Hall has been tendered to Professor Foster until he an secure better quarters for hi- school. hasdjbb Report. The following freight for Sacramento passed Ogden March ISth For W. A. &C.

Announcement is made this morning by Weinstock _ Lubin, of the Mechanics' Store, that that extensive business bouse will be closed all day Monday, March 29th, and opened at 0 o'clock on the evening of that day, which will signalize the spring opening of the stock purchased by Mr. Lubin, who has just returned from the East. The closing by day is to enable all the arrangements for the night exhibition to he perfected. The store is to be handsomely decorated for the occasion; all the counters will be moved back and the passageways thus enlarged, and all the clerical force will be in attendance to act as guides and escorts to visitors. There will be no goods sold that evening, but all the industries of the estab lishment will be in operation. The millinery display, which is promised as larger than any heretofore made in Sacramento, is to be had on the third floor of the house, which will be 1 entirely given up to that department on this occasion, and the stairways to which will be wide', d for the occasion. The opening promises to be one of such importance ana brilliancy as to become a historic business event. It will certainly attract a great company of people, who will thus be enabled to i.-it the many depart ment., of the Mechanics' Store without going as purchasers, or during usual business hours. The expectation is raised that the goods to be displayed will be of unusual va riety and richness, and that the stock to be opened cut will be one' worthy of clone atten tion and examination. Unless this be the case the firm would scarcely venture upon the exhibition promised for next Monday night.

Considerable con sternation was produced here to-day by the announcement that last night, about 11 o'clock, Miss Lou M. James, a beautiful girl aged about seventeen years, niece of Mrs. Levi Goodrich, formerly Mrs. Sarah L. Knox, had committed suicide at the latter's residence on First street. An inquest was held this afternoon, previous to which all kinds of rumors were prevalent. Deceased and a younger sister came to this State with "1.-. Goodrich from their home in Spring field, Illinois, in 1876, when their auntie turned from the Centennial Exposition, for the purpose of attending school, and Mi Lou was expected to graduate from the high school at the end of the present school year. The facts elicited at the Coroner's inquest this afternoon were as follows For a few months past deceased bad been engaged to be mar ried to a young man residing at San Fran cisco, who is employed at the San Francisco Mint. He visited her regularly, and every* thing waft apparently particularly harmonious between them. He was in this city for the last time on the 13th instant, and was ex pected here again last evening. She was of a very happy disposition, but since the visit of her fiancee she appeared more so than usual. The only particular thinjr noticeable was the aridity with which she inquired daily for letters, but none came. Last evening Mrs. Goodrich returned from Sacramento by the 5:30 train, and noticing that Louisa seemed depressed in spirits, asked the cause, but was told that nothing was wrong. After sup per she went to the front gate ami waited tiil the last train from San Francisco arrived. Her lover not coming, as expected, she after a short time returned to the house. Her sis ter was playing the piano, and asked her to join her. Sho refused, saying she was not in a binding mood, and went direct, to her room, which she occupied together with her sister. Some time later the sister went to the room, and b?foie retiring, lit the request of deceased, went down stairs after a school book which de ceased said she wished to study. She sat down an 1 commenced to study the lesson. Her sister then retiree). About half past 10 the younger sister was awakened by deceased, who told her to go and I call her aunt. She replied, "What lot, Lou? Aunt is asleep. I will do anything for you you wish." To which answer deceased said, No, you can not: I want aunt Call her quick." What is the matter asked the other. "Nothing; but call aunt." "There must be something serious; else you would not want, to disturb Aunt Sarah at this hour." To which deceased replied "I have taken strychnine, and am dying; call aunt, quick." Her"sister asked, What have yon done this for?" and the unfortunate girl replied, "Oh you could not under stand." Mrs. Goodrich was immediately amused, and on entering the room Miss .lames said, "Oh aunt, I am dying. Forgive me." Just then convulsions commenced, and lasted until she died, half an hour later. Nothing further was elicited. It, was also stated that some time before, deceased had declared that she intended to make a bonfire of all her let ters, and as none of these were found it is be lieved that she destroyed them. It alsocame out that several times she had in a iking way sail she thought she would "turn 011 the gas.". A day or two ago a mirror was broken in the house, and when the cook said it was a certain sign of death in the fam ily she said. ''.I don't know but what cook is right, as I think •I shall turn on the gas soon." No vestige of the poison could be found. As she had not left the house the day previous, it is known that she must have procured the poison before that time, and that the suicide was premeditated.- As usual, there are sev eral rumors, not authenticated, going to show that her lover had discovered that the hid been too intimate with the son of a retired doctor of this city that she had confessed this to him at their last meeting that he had apparently forgiven her, but his failure to write and to come at the time appointed left the impression that he had deserted her, and she in despondency took the fatal drug. The only explanation appears in the fact that she did not get a letter or visit The suicide is deeply regretted. It is said that the name of her lover is Potter, and he is said to be a very excellent young man. V. ___ T tV .".Chinese Dedicatory Services.

Two hundred and fifty thousand taels, which is more -than cue-half of tho land tax of i the Empire, were -expended last year in silk, satin, gauze,, velvet, red and gilt paper, and pain**.

The session v-as for debate on the funding bill, and the House went into o nnmittee of the Whole. g Felton favored hie substitute, requiring the Secretary of the Treasury to redeem mils coining due at stated intervals with gold and silver in the Treasury in excess of 25 per cent, of outstanding United States notes; also, re quiring the Secretary to purchase four mill ions in bullion monthly at par for coinage into dollars, and prohibiting the issuance hereafter of interest-bearing bonds. Orth thought a' 3_ per cent, bond would bring par, and contrasted the present state of affairs with that twenty, years ago, when, under Democratic rule, publi. securities c uld only be negotiated at twelve per cent. _ iVye and Kelley engaged in a discussion M to whether the public debt could be paid in twenty years. Kelley said it could in fifteen years at the present rate of decrease, to which Frye as sented, but said the present rate could not continue forever. Kelley declared that with the stoppage of cancellation, greenbacks and remonetization, the silver depression ended and the country was redeemed. All bis prophesies were filled. Frye said he would vote for the bill, but believed that in the next ten years the country would not .*ee a lower rate than 3_ per cent.. 'The history of financial management in this country since the war was the most magnifi- j cent ever written, from the dawn of creation to the present time, and was due to the i sagacity, perseverance, fidelity and courage of the Republican party, who stood against j inflation and repudiation and saved the in- tegrity of the country. Mills opposed tho funding system and the whole financial system since the war. We wanted not a strong but a just Government, and no military arm would then be needed to stay its destruction. Dunnell reviewed the condition of the pub- lie debt, and said the finances of the United States had always been managed by great men, and the name of John Sherman would go down to posteiity alon«ide those of pre- ceding Secretaries of the Treasury. San-ford closed the debate. An Anti-Chinese Argument. Washington, March 20th. The Pott (Democratic organ), under the heading of "An Unequal Bargain," publishes an edito rial, showing that by the Burlingame Treaty we give China a great deal more than we re ceive, and that, in fact, it secures to us noth ing except a few rights of trade which we should have if no such treaty existed. The editorial concludes as follows The treaty, while it sttnds, must be fulfilled, but it can not be too soon abrogated as to most of its provisions. We must see that this country shall not be overrun with a turbid tide of Asiatic degradation. China has shown us how to do this, by fixing up certain ports where Americans may enter, and certain places where, under defined conditions, they may reside. In a new treaty with that Em pire, we must follow this example. If we have any single right as a people it is that of self-protection, and under this right we are bound to say that the millions of Asia shall not occupy this country, or come here in such numbers as to do us harm. It is stated that a commission to negotiate a new* treaty with China will soon be appointed. It should be gin with a fair understanding that China is incapable of giving us much that we would not possess were there no international com pact that China is too exclusive to fairly claim a standing with treaty-making powers; that we are ready to extend our commercial relations on fair terms, but do not intend to adopt and trice home the miserable millions of that God-forsaken land." Mining Case Decided. Washington, March 20th. Commis sioner-General of the Land Office to-day de cided the ease of John A. Davis against the Seaton Mining Company, Sacramento dis trict, California. The claim of Davis was rejected, and the Seaton Company are al lowed to enter the mine on completing proof. .Another Plan for a Shin Railway Across the Isthmus of Daricn. Washikgton, March 20th. John M. Goodwin, of Shaxpeville, 1_ explained to the Interoceanic Canal Committee to-day his plan for a ship railway across the Isthmus of Dalian. It differs from that of Fads' in this, that instead of using a cradle for the transportation of a ship, he proposes to use a caisson containing sufficient depth fit water to float the largest ship. The Erniovul or the Ponrus. Washington, March 20th. Colonel E. G. Brooks, of the Indian Bureau, gave the Sen ate committee a history of the removal of the P-MtetUL which he claimed was in obedience to law, though in violation of treaty, and agahistthe it lies of the Indians, and with out their -jonsent. Charted with Perjury. New York, March 20th.— Yesterday Judge Otterburg, of Jefferson Market Police Court, on application of Mrs. Delia Little, a lady 70 years of see, residing at Fast One Hundred and Third street, issued a warrant for the ar rest of James T. Williams and Fanny E. Williams, his wife, whom Mrs. Little charges with perjury in swearing to false affidavits, on which, in October, 1873, she was sent to the Work-house by the late Police Justice Kasmine. Williams was arrested to-day and brought to Court, but his wife was ill and confined to her bed. Mrs. Little, in telling her story, said she married William Little, a prominent lawyer of San Francisco, in which city she lived until June, 1878. During the Buchanan campaign Little went to Washing ton, in a Government capacity, where he died of pneumonia." She took ill, and it was supposed she was dying, when word was sent to her nephew and niece in this city. The former went on there, and as she was pos sessed of considerable property, he persuaded her to sign a paper which she thought was a limited power of attorney, but which was in reality a conveyance of her property to him. She recovered, and accompanied her nephew to this city, arriving here in June, 1878. After the money she 'had with her was spent, Williams and his wife began to ill treat her, and, finally, she announced her in- tention of returning to San Francisco. Her relatives agreed, and October Bth a carriage was Ordered to take her to the depot/ A strange man then appeared and took charge of Mrs. Little, and she was taken to the Tombs, where Police Justice Kasmine came out and looked at her, and after reading some af-d-vita, which Mrs. Little says were false, he' signed a paper committing her to- the work-house for six months as an habitual -drunkrd. After her release she went to her nephew to demand j her property, but the door was shut in her face. She brought a charge of grand larceny against her nephew and niece after she came out of the work house, and they were held for trial at the general sessions of the Court, but owing to some unknown circumstance bail was dis charged and the case j never reached trial. Mrs. Little produced witnesses to-day who swore that she was not an habitual drunk ard. Williams waived *_ examination, and is bail was then fixed at "52.000. The worst feature in the case is that the statements said to be sworn to by Mrs. Little before Jitdge Kasmine, and said to be signed by her with an X as her mark, she states posi ti»«.'y she never saw. r Sew Sensation. iiXP York, March 20th.— It is rumored in trade circles here that immense numbers of guns have been made; in England and shipped ito China for use against the Russians, bat Greet Britain could not supply the proper, amount of cartridges, although there is a large exportation of American Lake Su perior copper anil Lehigh spelter to be work ed up into cartridges for English rifle muskets.' jlt is -believed j that the Chinese have been quietly I arming ever since Beaconsfield has been in office; that English officei shave been training the Chinese troops; and that Bea cons-eld is determined to execute a grand coup and to astonish the world by bringing China to the front as the gnwit military pow er to checkmate the designs of Russia in Cen tral Asia. ..The seizure of Hsrat by the Per sian Government, with the sanction of Eng land, is understood to be- next in order, and it is believed that at the very crisis of the Parliamentary canvass, in Engls._d.t_9 fact ___». f _.._i..*»-tfc« j'"-"..,". *A«„«k'i will come out that, with the help of Chinese and Persians, the Russians will be driven out of Central Asia, and all fears that England will lose India will be set at rest for this gen-, eration.

New York, March 20th.— The unknown persecutor of Rev. Mr. Dix, Trinity Church Rector, after publishing impudent warning notes in the papers yesterday, resumed his malicious attacks, sending dozens of persons to the Rector's house on various forged notes. A large force of detectives are _ at work on the case. It is privately surmised that the person may be a parishoner of one of the Trinity Chapels, whose mind has been ren dered unsound by religious questions, and, like a go.-.d many admirers of Dix in former times, was alienated and embittered against him by the latter** marriage a few years ago. la-lams -.aiding lv Texas.

FOREIGN NEWS. Gladstone's Denunciation of Anstri.. London, March "_oth. The campaign in creases in activity. The Liberals seem more confident. Their organs predict an over whelming victory. Gladstone's speeches oc cupy more space in the newspapers than those of all the other candidates together. Gladstone mado a bitter denunciation of Austria in his first speech at Edinburgh. A t orrespondent reported that the Emperor of Austria had told the British Embassador that Gladstone disapproved of Austria's foreign policy, and that the Emperor hoped Beacons field would be successful in the election. Gladstone, repeating this statement, said if the electors approved Austria's foreign policy, he would advise them to vote for the reten tion of the Beacon-field Ministry. Austria, he said, has ever been the unflinching enemy of freedom in every country of Europe, and there is not a spot on the whole map where one could place his finger and say There Austria did good." The En-Hill Folitical Situation. London, March 20th.— The kingdom is completely absorbed in the elections.' j Par liament expires like a candle without an evil smell. It has been devoting its last hours to passing a bill force- through by the Minis ters which facilitates corruption, by legaliz ing cab-hiring, thereby enhancing the vant ages i the rich and unscrupulous candidates. The Liberals consider that their position with the country has decidedly improved during the week. They say that Lord Be_ consfield's attempt to make th.m assume the defensive has failed. The canvass is every where proceeding with redoubled energy, and the confidence in a Liberal triumph is daily increasing. It is expected that Lord Uea consfield will announce some new and start ling coup, once Parliament has adjourned. The nomination of Herbert Gladstone for Middlesex surprises the Tories, who expected a walk-over. It is the best proof of the growing confidence of the Liberals and their personal devotion to Gladstone. The move ment originated with Forster and Samuel Morley. The City Liberal Club enthusiastic ally supported it, and Gladstone telegraphed his assent. A meeting of leading Liberals ratified the nomination, and agreed to defray the expenses of the about 550,000. Success is hardly to be expected, as the last Tory majority was double the Liberal vote. The Queen departs next week for Baden, and will remain away a month. As a change of Ministry would be impracticable during her absence, it is inferred that Lord Beacons field intends not to resign before Parliament meets in May, whatever may Tie the result of the elections, alleging that it is doubtful whether Home Rulers will support Lord Hartington in moving a want-of-confidence I vote. The pretext is baseless, since it is now certain that all shades of opposition—Par nellites, perhaps, excepted— will unite to ex pel the Ministry. Included in this are Irish Liberal Judges like McCowen,* whom the Newcastle Liberal Association supports, be cause he has pledged himself to vote for such amotion. The I'nlverslty Boat' Bare-Bets "Oir.". London, March According to the rules of horse racing, when the event is post poned over Sunday, ail bets are off.".. The question has arisen whether this rule will ap ply to betting on the University boat race. The dinner of the r University boat crews has been postponed until Monday night. -v" London, March 20th:— The" Committee of Tatterealls, to whom was referred the ques tion whether the rules regulating betting on horse races are applicable to boat races in case of postponement over Sunday, has de cided that they do apply consequently all bets are void. The Liverpool Cap Birr. London, March 20th. The Sportsman Ikirs Life concur in stating that it was the general opinion in the paddock and ring yes terday that tbe Stewards would award the race for the Li Spring Cup to Parole. Both journals say there was certainly foul riding, but not more than is frequently passed over without notice, but if a hard and fast line is to be drawn hereafter no objection can be taken to the precedent. The Stewards who investigated the case yesterday were Lords Coventry and Sefton. the Marquis of Beres ford. W. Gerard and Colonel Forest. V Rewarded for Savl-s Shipwrecked Crews. Paris, March 20th.— The British corvette Conius called %t the island 'of Tristan d'Acunha, February Bth,'* to present, in the name of the President of the United States, to the i senior resident, Peter Green, a gold chronometer watch to the next in rank a binocular glass, and to the rest of the inhab itants £40, as a reward for saving the lives of American shipwrecked ere ws.; J J "»_'* Chinese Fete. _;, Y•/ V Paris, March L*oth.— The ball at the Chi nese Embassy 1 was gay and animated,* and marks a step in the leveling process J going on throughout the world. The Embassadress was in Chinese toilet, and her young daugh ter did the honors until supper was an nounoed, when the retired to the women's apartments. Chinese women stood for suppoit against Chinese servants who lined the stairs. The supper was truly Celestial. Many dishes were disagreeable, others sweet and nicely aromatized. Shark's tins were particularly recommended iby Tsicg to the venerable sip... milts as rejuvenating food._ This fete was given in the house of Mrs. Riggs. Vote of Confidence.' ROME, March 20th.— In the Chamber of Deputies to-day the debate on the Govern ment's foreign policy ended, and a vote of confidence in the Ministry passed— to 93. Previous to the vote Signer Mirghetti, of the Right, declared that ho fully accepted Pre mier Carrali's declaration relative to Italia Irredenta agitation and the maintenance of good relations with Austria. Twelve mem bers of the Extreme Left abstained from voting. The vote of confidence greatly strengthens the Cabinet. MISCELLANEOUS. In New York, Saturday, Wm. P. Smith, of the firm of John W. Dickennao Co., dealers in dried fruits, killed himself in his office. Smith was 25 years of age, and was recently married. In New York the loeked-out piano-makers in one factory resumed work Friday. The men locked from other factories were told Saturday that they could return to work Monday by abandoning the Union. In New Orleans Edward 0. Palmer, Presi dent of the Louisiana Bank, convicted of embezzling the funds of the bank, has been sentenced to three years hard labor in the Penitentiary. He has appealed to the Su preme Court. The Boston Transcript of 19th says The new President of the St.' Louis and Sin Francisco road, and Seligmau of New York, will ba in Boston to-morrow to consult with the Atchi-on people upon the Atlantic and Pacific financial plan. The New York Herald, noticing the order received by the Winchester Arms Company to make from fifteen to twenty millions of cartridges for the Chinese Government, says This is the first order, we believe, ever given by the Chinese Government to foreigners for the manufacture of cartridges. A Washington dispatch to the Chicago Journal says: The Blame National Com mittee claims that it has assurance from In diana that Grant will not get a single delegate from that State. In support of this claim it is said the committee has received letters from every delegate chosen in the State.,; V. FOREIGN*. I At Halle, Saxony, two passenger trains collided at the railroad station. Seven per sons were killed and many injured. The Greek Ministry has resigned in conse quence of the resolution adopted by the Dep uties expressing disapproval of the policy of the Government. John Bright, speaking at Birmingham, said "We arc at this moment witness ing the dying hours of the worst of modern Par liaments, and beholding the spectacle of the worst of administrations brought up for judg ment." i A Paris dispatch says The report is un true that Father Beex, General of the Jesuits, has come here from Rome. The Prefect of Police has issued a circular to the Coinmis sionres of Police instructing them to furnish him with a detailed report respecting all re ligious communities in Paris and the Provinces.

There arc many at the age of thin to sixty who are troubled with too frequent evacuation of the bladder, often accompanied by a slight SBarttag or burning sensation, and a weakening of the system in a manner the patient cannot account for. On exam- ining the urinary deposits a ropy sodimeat will often be found, and sometimes small particles of albumen will appear, or the color will be of a thin milkirii hue, again changing to a dark and torpid apnea ranee.
