SHIPMENT OF SPEcIE.-The exports of treasure
from the port of San Francisco, for the past six
ypors foot nm n q follows.

SENATORIAL CoNvENToN.-The two Houses of
the Legislature met in Joint Convention on Sat
urday last, for the purpose of electng two U. S.
senators, the President of the Senate in the
chair. A question arose as to which term should
be filed first, which was debated at some length
1t was finally decided to vote for the long term
first, the Democrats voting in the affirmative
and the Americans and Republicans in the neg
ative. Mr.. Broderick having received 10 votes
on the first ballot, was declared by the President
elected as United States Senator for six years
from the 4th of March next The Republicans
voted for Mr.. Stanley, and the Americans for
Mr.. Coffroth. The Convention then adjourned
until Monday, at ~ o'clock.

NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, JAN. IA, 1885,
David c. Brodcrick.

The news of the nomination of Mr.. Broderck
by the Democratic caucus, on Thursday even
ing last, and his election to the Office of U. S.
Senator by the Legislature on Saturday, was
received by his numerous friends with the live
liest feelings of satisfaction. Notwithstanding
the howlings and repeated warnings" of an
unprincipled opposition press, the Democratic
members of the Legislature can rest assured
that in the election of Mr.. Broderick they have
but acted in obedience to the sentiment Of
large proportion Of the Democratic party Al
though many of the members preferred Col
Weller, yet, when it was found that a majority
were in favor of Broderick, they came up like
true Democrats, laid aside their personal pref
erences, and gave him their undivided support.
He received the entire Democratic vote of the
Legislature, with the exception of that of Mr..
Watkins, of Calaveras, who was elected as a
Democrat, but refused to go into the caucus.
Perhaps no man in the State has been so con-
stantly slandered and viliied, as has Mr.. Brod-
erick, and with so little cause. To this abuse,
in great measure, does he owe his present ell
ovation. His enemies have never pretended to
bring against him single specific charge, which
in the least tended to impeach his integrity. They
have contented themselves by applying to him
such epithets as "shoulder-striker,n "hound,"
&C., when in reality, more quiet, gentlemanly
and unassuming man. lived not in the State
That he has sought the office to which he has
a. Il 10 toh
title him, even his friends will not deny-but II
has never been shown that he has in any in
stance resorted to dishonorable means TO attain
it.
Of Mr. Broderlck's early life, we know bu
little, and for even that, we are principally in.
debted to his enemies, who have thought they
they could degrade him by dwelling upon hii
humble origin, and the communicating inhuen.
ces by which he was surrounded in his youth
He was left an orphan at an early age, and for
many years supported widowed mother and a
younger brother by his own labor. He served
an apprenticeship, and worked some years at O
mechanical trade, and il is said that he kept O
public house for short time in New York.
He was always temperate in his habits and the
leisure hours of his youth were spent in study
In every respect, he is self-made man, and his
career affords an example we'll worthy of imita
tion.
Mr. Broderick has now reached the goal O
his ambition, and on the fourth of March next
will take his seat as the representative of SOY
ereign State in the American Senate. We are
confident that he will at once take high posi-.
ton among the members of that august and dig
nfed tribunal, and that his great talents ant
untiring energy, will be directed with an ey,
single to the advancement of the interests of hi
adopted State.

MEXICAN AFFAIRs.-We learn that a snao.,
agent of the Mexican Government left this civ
a day or two since for Guaymas, to put the a.
thorities on their guard in regard to Sllihn.
tering movement said to be organizing in ri.
State against Sonora. If such movement, !.
in contemplation, the persons engaged tbsr;s
will meet with warmer reception than thu
anticipate. Gen. Yanez has eight thousan5
troops at present under his command, and hsa
effected arrangements with the Apaches to or
pose Gandara and his Yaquin forces. We trnG,
for our national honor, that no such sinister IA
signs are entertained by Californians.--7so 7so,rn

EARTIoUAEEs.-Thc were two distinct shocks
of an earthquake felt in Sacramento on Friday
morning last. The first and lightest occurred
about quarter past two O'Clock in the morning.
1t lasted some three seconds, and consisted of
six or eight distinct vibrations, which were felt
by those who were awake, and especially in
frame houses. The second shock was felt about
eight o'clock in the morning 1t did not con-
tinuc so long as the first, but the vibrations
were much more rapid and distinct
At five O'Clock, the same morning, and again
at fifteen minutes after eight O'Clock, the earth
was shaken severely in San Francisco. The
motion Of the earth, says the Herald, was as va
riOusly described on this as on former occasions
some contending for north and south as the
direction of the movement, while others insisted
on east and west, ard others still-though few
or in number-for all the possible combinations
of the points of the compass though it is uni
versally conceded to have been felt with greater
violence in the south part of the city and that
part reclaimed from the Bay-all below the for
mer water-linc being particularly susceptible.

DIR. GwIn Elected,

By telegraphic dispatch which will be found
in our columns, we learn that Hon. VIM. M.
Gwin was yesterday reelected to the Office of
U. S. Senator. AS our paper was up before re-
ceiving the dispatch, we have no room for re-
marks. DR.. Gwin has many warm friends in
this county, who will, of course, be greatly re-
joiced to learn that he has been elected. 1t will
be seen that he received three more votes than
there are Democrats in the Legislature, which
was occasioned by some of the Republicans
dfopping their own candidate and voting for
him.
DIR. Gwin is man of energy and talent, and
ifEour two Senators will now work together,
they will be able to carry any measure through
Congress that they undertake.

SHOOTING AFrRAY.-A shooting affray occur
red at Red Dog on Saturday last, between VIM.
Langston and DR.. d. A. Crane, which resulted
in the latter getting a severe flesh wound in the
breast. 1t appears that the parties had had an
alteration arising from some misunderstand-
ing, which they mutually agreed should be left
to friend Langston afterwards met Dr.
Crane at Mr.. Begold's tin shop and while the
Doctor was sitting with his arms folded Langs-
tor Hked him some question in regard to their
disr =. The Doctor replied by referring the
whole matter to the friend they had chosen to
adjust the difficulty. Langston then drew re-
volver and before the Doctor had time to rise,
fred it at him, the ball passing through the up
per part of the right breast and coming out
back of the right nipple. The bystanders inter-
fered, and prevented him from firing again. Dr.
Crane, however, succeeded in drawing small
pistol, which he attempted to discharge at
Langston. but only succeeded in exploding a
cap. Langston then made his escape, and has
not yet been taken. The wounded man is do
ing WE'LL and is not considered in any danger.

THE VIGILANCE COMMITTEE IN THE ASSEMBLY
1t seems that the Vigilance Committee question
has already been sprung in the Assembly A
resolution was first introduced appointing the
Rev. DR.. Scott. of Calvary Church, San Fran
cisco, Chaplain of the Assembly. AS II has not
been customary for that body to have Chap
lain. the resolution was laid on the table, An
other resolution was then introduced, inviting
the Doctor to deliver lecture in the Assembly
Hail. on Sunday last. This resolution was pass
ed by a vote of ffty-nine to thirteen. 1t is said
that the vote on this resolution was test of
the strength of the Vigilance and nti-Vigilance
parties in the Assembly. If the resolution was
intended as rebuke to the Vigilance organiza-
tion, it was most effectual one, and cannot fail
to have beneficial effect in the future The
'purest and best" will hereafter be apt to think
twice before going into another organization,
the avowed object of which is to defy and sub
vert the laws. Vigilancesm died natural
death, and the representatives of the people
have given 1t decent burial

DIvoRcEs.-The great number of divorces
which are being granted by the courts of this
State, are beginning to excite serious attention.
These cases have become much more frequent,
since the custom has been adopted of trying
them in secret before a referee. A law should
be passed by the Legislature compelling these
cases to be tried in open court.

Arrival of the SenatOr.-Highly important
from SOnOra.-FightIng, &c.


The steamerSenator arrived at San francisco
yesterday, bringing dates from San Diego and
Los Angeles to the Sd inst, and from Santa
Barbara to the Sth. The San Diego Herald has
the following from Sonora:
''By the arrival in town yesterday of Mr.. Bel
knap, from Sonora, We have further intelligence
from this at present interesting locality. Mr..
b. came through in the unprecedented short
space of six days. On the morning of the 23d
of Nov. the Gandara party attacked the gov
ernment troops, aud after fighting all the fore
noon we're glad to retreat, having lost eighteen
men killed and several wounded. The Indians
are ali in the interest of Gandara and it is
thought that if be had been present to have ta-
ken the command his party would have been
successful. He left hfor Mexico some months
since leaving his brother in command. 1t is
generally understood that President Comonfort
is desirous Of re-appointing Gondara Governor
of Sonora, butsthe people are opposed to him
and hence the present contest between the rival
factions"
