THE New SENATOR FROM CALIFoRN1A.-The tele-
graph has announced to US that Milton s. Latham
has been elected by the Legislature of California to
the seat in the United States Senate left vacant by
the death of Hon. David G.. Broderick. SIR. Lath-
elected Governor of the State on the
Democratic ticket last September, and was inau-
gurated only two days previous to his being chosen
Senator. The seat in the Senate is held by
Hon. Henry p. Haun, under an appointment by
Governor weller. The annual salary OF the EXecu-
tive of California is ten thousand dollars and the
term of service two years. 1t may seem strange in
the minds of some that should be found will
ing to give up salary of ten thousand dollars a
year for three thousand which is the pay of Uni
ted States Senator but it should be borne in mind
that while the GOvernorship is for only two years,
the term Mr.. Latham will have to serve will cover
nearly four years salary, amounting in the whole
to trifie less than twelve thousand dollars Dur
ing his term he will travel back and forth eight
times, for which the government allows him, in
mileage, about two thousand four hundred dollars
each term, making an aggregate of salary and
mileage of thirty-one thousand dollars, for little
over three years service Senator, against
twenty thousand dollars which he would have re-
ceived had he remained two years Governor of the
State.

annual meeting of the Liquor Dealers Association
of New Y ork was held on Tuesday night About
an hour after the meeting commenced number of
the adherents of the old regime who it was expect
ed would be defeated, rushed in naasse among the
brethren inside Then there was terrible row
There were knock downs, and kick downs, hard
cursing, and bad threats and during the excitement
several pistols were exhibited, but not fired, most
fortunately, for the room was closely packed and
some one would doubtless have been killed. SIEVE
raj policemen present tried to quell the row, and
a reserve sent for, but before it arrived the
crowd dispersed, and the room was deserted by all
but the officers. During the excitement the ballot
box destroyed.
