A LARGE FlsH.-On Wednesday, monster
seq bass. the lsrgest probably ever seen or
heard Of, was taken in the harbor at San Fran
cisco. under the following circumstances, as
told 10y the Herald:
Five gentleman, viz: two of the name of
Howes, two named Spencer and Capt Wood,
took a small boat and went on fishing eX-
cursion between Goat Island and Contra Cos
tn shore. Their attention was suddenly ex-
cited by an enormous fish, which was near
the boat, and made for it as if to make an at
tack. He was however, saluted with a
charge of shot from a double barreled gun, in
the haLds of Mr. Hawes, of the firm of Elan
& Hawes, Clay street, which took effect in
his tail The fish disappeared. but soon after
rose again and approached the boat, when
Mr.. Hawes fired another charge, which struck
the monster in the gills and put Il period to
his existence. Before he could sink slip
moose was passed over his tail and he was
taken in tow. The successful fishermen only
reached this city with their woDdrous prize
after deal of hard labor 1t is very rare
thet black sea bass has been known to
weigh over so or 90 pounds, and some idea
of the monstrous proportions of this fish may
be obtained from the f,llowing measure
ments, showing his dimensions: His weight
was $50 pounds, length from tip of nose to
end of tul seven feet and one inch breadth
round the shoulders, thickest part, five feet
two inches; length from tip of nose to end of
jaw covering the gills two feet four inches !;
circumference of mouth when braced open,
three feet two inches; spread of tail from tip
to tip, two feet three inches.

GERMAN BENEVOLENT SocfETY-The late
quarterly report of the German Benevolent
Society in San Francisco exhibits the follow
ing statistics, as published in a paper of that
city:
Gratuitous services at the Hospital and
elsewhere, being rendered by Rrs Regens
burger, Precht. Loehr, and Alers. The pres.
ent number of paying members is 76l, OF
whom $50 reside in this city. and l75 in the
Inferior. During the quarter 81 new mem
bers joined. The Hospital Commits ee report
for the same quarter that 76 sick persons
have been under treatment in the Hospital,
40 of them at the expense of the German BE.
nevolent Society, 90 at their own expense. 8
at the expense of the Savonic Ilyrc Society
> partly at the expense of the First Hebrew
Benevolent Society. etc. Of these person:

CHINESE TRIcKEEY.-We alluded, the other
day, TO the arrest of Chinese woman, named
Qui Cum, 10y Chinaman named Ii Ki. on
a charge of stealing $3.50 in money and a
gold ring. We expressed the opinion. nt the
time that it was mere trick of III Ki to re-
cover possession Of Qui Cum who had been
his slave according to Chinese custom, and
who was lost to him on account of her mar
riage with Celestial whose name we had
not learned. 1t seems that, since that time,
the husband himself has been arrested on the
came charge, and is now held in custody in
Oroville. The object would appear to be. on
the part of III Ki, under this new scheme Of
his. to have Qui Cum discharged, while her
husband yet remains in custody, so as to en-
able him, I'll Ki, to spirit her away, and re-
duee her to servitude, as before
1t is very cunningly arranged scheme.
but we are of opinion that it will be seen in
TO by the tribunals having cognizance of the
case.

Senatorial Appointment.


Some persons still suppose that Governor
Weller will make an appointment to fill the
Senatorial interim, of the Broderick term,
between this and the action of the incoming
legislature They say that he has not posi-
lively refused to appoint, although he has in
imated disihelnation to do so, and that h,
will probably make up his mind by the 25tl
instant.
1t is to be hoped that he will come to hi
senses by that time, and make the appoint
ment. A straight forward, fearless course il
what the people demand of him, and he ha'
no business to trihe with the public interest
on account of any little matter Of policy il
the forwarding of his own personal advan
tage. There is vacancy in the Senate and
it ought to be filled. The State should b,
fully and not partially represented. She
should have her full number of votes on all
questions, and Governor Weller has no right
to deprive her of that voice, in order to ad-
vance his own little schemes for the Senator
ship Ills hesitancy in this matter is begin
ming to look very pitiful. and he is losing
friends by it. every day. Tie plain path OF
duty is before him and he seems afraid to fol-
low it, lest it destroy his chances for election
to the Senate. as the successor of Mr.. Broder
lex. lie seems afraid that, by appointing one
Of the applicants, he will offend the balance
and that they will then work for his defeat
Suppose, it were true.-why should an hon
est public man hesitate to do his duty under
any circumstances
We think, however, that this result need
not necessarily follow. Gov. Weller could
easily appoint man who is in no manner
connected with any of the clques or factions
now laborag each to supplant the other in
the ranks of the Lecompton party In fact,
he could well be excused for this by all the
parties interested, inasnuch as his position
would be recognized to be delicate one. and
desire to offend no one Of the divisions of
the party be duly appreciated by all.
AT any rate. the public sentiment demands
the appointment and, if it is not made. Gov
Weller will be considered recreant to the re-
sponslblities of his position.

given to him to disencumher the walk, on
every occasion that he obstructs it in the
least, while his neighbor is sallowed to have

rectly upon the pavement. to remain there
until the load is discharged. There certain

be well founded. it does not speak well for

A Card.


We are sorry that necessity compels us to ap.
peal to the public in answer to an article which
appeared in Thursdays DEMOCRAT, headed
Row in the Colored Baptist Church." As
Church we are averse to controversy par
ticularly in the public prints, but duty to
those who kindly assisted in building our
House Of Worship, demands a refutation of
the ISLANDERS imposed upon the DEMOCRAT by
its informant
lhe meeting alluded TO-, was called for the
settlement of difficulties between some of the
members, and not for the consideration of
financial matters as the informant of the Dem.
ocRAr intimates, though since he has made
that charge ii is well to say few words on
the subject In the first place, he knew moth
ing whatever Of the monetary affairs of the
Church, except from hearsay, for the simple
reason that he can neither read nor write
and since the publication of the SANDER we
have Instituted thorough investigation Of
the matter and are happy to inform our
friends and the public that the result wa:
most satisfactory. Secondly, the preachers
wife has been q strict member of the church
for eleven years and eight months, and a
member of this church long enough to fully
entitle her to vote according to our rules
As to the charge Of violence. that is too ri
diculous to deserve even passing denial
There is not one shadow of truth in the whole
of his statement.
The cause of this attack arises from a re-
vengeful spirit, the author of it having been
recently suspended from the Association for
falsehood.
We trust that our friends will view this
matter in the proper light On behalf Of the

an empoye of the steamer Forwood, and was
in charge of certain goods at the steamer

praiser's store. paper Of that city has
the following in regard to the matter:

taken, unless a receipt was given. He took
hold of the truck horses head to prevent
them from being taken, when Baxter struck
him several times in the forehead with the
butt of his whip, making n severe wound
The first blow stunned Collins, and Baxter
still gave him few in addition
A question arose. in the course of the case
