What the Anglo. Chinese Press Say of

day morning. Entertained at a grand dinner
in that city, with the Governor OF the State OF
California In the chair, all the notable persons

grandlloquent phrases as matters OF course.
Unfortunately, however, there Is nothing in
this speech but froth. When we have got TO the
end OF all that can be said, about two-thirds OF
the human race and institutions which enabled
the son of the lowest cooe to rise 10 the highest

Large Force of state Militia,


Large Force of State Militia,
Spe ctaI Despatch to The Evening Telegraph
NASHVILLE, Sept 12.-Both bodies Of the
Legislature continued IN session last night until
near midnight, and at last effected a compro-
mise, by passing the militia bill in modified
form. 1t is now law, and authorizes the Gov
ernor to call out any force he may deem neces-
sary, governed by the following restrictions:
Before the militia can be sent to any county,
application for such must be made to the Gov
ernor by ten unconditional Union men, or three
Justices of the Peace, belonging to said county,
based on the allegations that the civil law can
not be enforced without military aid.
Martial law can be proclaimed In any county
on the representation of the Judge and Attorney.
General, Senators and Representatives, and ten
good Union men in that county, that organized
resistance to law exists, and that good citizens
are not safe in their persons and property. The
counties where such militia are quartered are to
pay all the expenses incurred. The bill passed
the Senate by a vote OF IL to 8, and the House
by over tbree-fOurths majority.
The Governors proclamation will be issued in
day or two, looking to the organization OF the
militia, as he has expressed a determination to
have considerable force organized even if not
required for immediate service. There is q
good deal of dissatisfaction manifested here over
the question of Withdrawing from the canvass
which is again mooted in Democratic circles
The Legislature will adjourn on Monday.

alarming symptoms of superiority, aud we dare
say her antagonists met her off the Castle on
Tuesday morning without any serious mis-

preciable degree TO the result of the contest.

influence on her real chances OF success.

materials-billiard tables in readiness for ship

In such great quantities everywhere that water
seemed to have little effect in quenching the
flames. Although the fremen worked with
great assiduity, doing honor TO themselves. the
smouldering demon darted from door to floor,
and at 2 O'Clock this morning the three first
were entirely gutted, with a portion OF the
fourth. II seems peculiarly unfortunate that
this establishment, the largest OF its kind In the
United States, and perhaps the world, should
be destroyed at this time. as the proprietors
had just completed large order from Cali

The loss Is not known, but with the three hum

with that itself 1t will amount to over $l75 000.
While the fremen were battling grandly En-

where the fire occurred was carried from the
building in an tnsensible condition, being
smothered by smoke. At halfpast O'clock

this port of the United States steamer Gettys-

Haytien, Mole st. Nicholas, and Gonaives still
hold out for President Salnave. The port of st.
Marc is still held by the rebels. The latter had
met with very severe defeat at the village Of
La Coupe. They had also abandoned the siege
of POrt-au Prince, leaving their guns and all the
camp equipage in the hands of salnaves troops.
President salnave had issued proclamation
granting an amnesty to all rebels except to the
leaders In the late rebellion. Numbers have
proAed by this proclamation. The rebels are
losing ground rapidly, and salnave's prospects
are improving. Portau-Prlnce is perfectly

brilliant.
