San Jose Tribune of the 10th inst, says:
"The Breckenridge meeting, on last Satur.
day evening, was decided failure Great
exertions had been used to get together a
large audiunce to hear the "old war horse. u
as Gov. Weller was styled in the bills which
announced the meeting. 1t Ithaving been said
that his excellency had gotten up a bran new
speech for the occasion, considerable curosi-

the only legislative candidate on the Breck-

pledged TO vote for VIM. NJ Gwin for United

questioned on this subject he has refused to
answer, saying that those who can't trust
him on that score need not vote for him. The

Labatt, Esq, in neat and sensible speech
Hon. e. ID. Wheeler, late Senator from Yuba
county, then addressed the crowd in one of
the finest speeches | ever heard. He is one

the next Senator from this District, closed in
straightforward manly speech, and the
meeting adjourned with cheer after cheer for

TnE ELECTION OF Col BAKER.-At the last
election in Oregon, there was fusion in
many counties of all parties opposed to the
reelection of Gen. Lane and Delazon Smith
This fusion secured some twenty members of
the Legislature. They were elected as fusion
candidates, as anti-Lane and anti-Smith can.
didates, and not as anti ti.Breckinrdge, anti
Seceder, nor yet as Douglas Democrats-for
the reason that the fusion movement had
been consummNted and the election held
before anything was known on the Pacific
coast Of the secession at the Charleston Con-
vention. Well, fifteen of these fusion mem
bers voted for Baker Jfge of them took open
ground for Douglas, avowed themselves his
earnest supporters and refused to vote for
Baker. And Jet the Breckenridge papers in

LAST HoURs or GEN. WALKER.-The TruX-
lilo correspondent of the Marina writes as
follows under date of September Goth:
As soon as Walker entered the prison he
was heavily ironed, and asked if he wanted
anything. lie only asked for water. lie
then sent for the chaplain of this port, and
protesting himself Roman Catholic, he was
seen thereafter almost constantly kneeling at
the feet of the priest in front of small altar,
on which, by the dim light Of the tapers, the
image of Jesus was distinguished Among
other things he once said to the Captain: "l
am resigned to die; my political career is
concluded"
On the 1lth instant. at I o'clock P. NJ. G en-.
Walker was notified of his sentence of death,
and to this startling message the only reply
he made was to ask at what hour it would be
executed, and whether he had time to write
On the 18th, at eight o'clock A. NJ, the cul-
prit marched to the place of execution. He
walked with a cruciix in his hand, upon
which he bent all his regards, looking neither
to the right nor to the left, but listening
piously to the psalms which the priest reeited
in his ear. lie entered the hollow square
formed by the soldiery in the place of exeeu-
tion, and there, full of resignation, he pro-
nouneed the following words:
81 am Roman Catholic. The war which
made upon Honduras, in accordance with
the suggestions of some Ruatanoes, was un-
just. Those who accompanied me are not tC
blame. l alone am guilty. ask pardon O
the people | receive death with resigna-
tion-would that it may be for the good o
society"
Walker died with remarkable fortitude
His remains were received into the tomb
and rest in peace for perpetual example.
One day after the execution of Walker the
American schooner joan e. Taylor, with re
Inducements and arms for the fllibusters
anchored in the port but she soon after
wards disappeared, having recognized th'
forces Of the republican power. The imme
diate arrival Of an American man of wa
steamer is announced and it is considered
very probable that other vessels, with rein
forcements for the unhappy expedition, vii
arrive, as the promoters thereofin the UaiteC
States are ignorant Of the fate of Walker.

Capture of O Ghost.

a verltabie ghost was captured in Brook
iyn or Saturday evening real thing of
n.esh, blood and moustache, and not one
Of those shadowy phantoms whose exis-
tence is purely imaginative. In this age
the presence of ghosts is secuted, but there
are timid people among us who would faint
with fright at the sight of anything that,
to their imagination, could be construed
to resemble spirit. Therefore the people
of Brooklyn, especially those whom bust
ness or pleasure lead in the vicinity of the
old cemetery belonging to St. AIMS Episco-
pal church on Fulton street, may really be
said to be unbelievers in the presence of
any but living ghosts. Still they are NOR
tai, and given to the qualification of their
curiosity.
On Thursday night some one, on pass
ing this graveyard, tancied he saw some
thing white moving about among the tomb
stones He called the attention of others,
and they too saw the object. 1t requires
only a short time to attract throng in any
thoroughfare, hence, in a very few minutes
there had gathered many hundred people
anxiously watching for the spectre. The
performance was over for the night, how
ever, and the crowd gradually dispersed.
Friday eFening the spectre again appeared
to few persons, and then quietly and 81
lently vanished. On Saturday night his
ghostship chose an early hour for his ram
Bile, and about nine o'clock again made his
appearance, enveloped in white sheet,
stalking solemnly among the emblems of
mortality. In very few moments nearly
thousand persons had assembled in front
of the grave yard, blocking up the side
walk and obstructing the passage of the
cars in the street. The police were called
upon to disperse the crowd. Sergeant
James Brown, of the first precinct, soon
arrived at the scene, and prudently consid-
ering that the crowd would soon dis5erse if
the cause were removed, he secured a. DOS
ition where ready access could be had to
