On DrT-That the action of the Court Of
Appeals yesterday in making the order al
ourning the tribunal over until the next term,
or until the State shall be admitted by Con
gress, and new court appointed under the
new constitution. was prompted by an order
from Attorney General Hoar. 1t is reported
that some parties in Baltimore who arc con
cerned in the adjudication OF cause before our
Supreme Court objected to it on the ground
that it was not legal or constitutional trlbu'
ns!, but creature OF the military authority :;
that they applied to the Supreme Court OF the
United States for an order to restrain the Court
from proceeding farther in the case and the
Attorney General being informed Of the mat
ter, minated to the Court that it would tc
advisable to adjourn. We give this, as told to
us. without vouchng for its reliability. Rich.

CHARLEY DE- Loys AND Ross BROWNE.

CHARLEY De LoSG AND Ross BROWNE.
The Sacramento Bee comes to the
rescue of De Long against attacks of
the " Radical press" The Bee man, in
n rather stolid and stupid way, insii-
tutes a comparison between Ross
Browne aud De Long. Says the fatuous
oracle of the Bee: awe would put
Charley belong against J. Ross
Browne any day. y 4 \ In what
that should constitute a Minister to the
Orient is Browne superior to DeLong ?"
We do not care to enter into a discus
sion as to the relative merits and quail
fcatious of Charley belong and j.
Ross Browne. It is enough to say that
the nomination of belong is n
utterly unfit to be made. The European
nations are sending their best men, men
Of first class ability, of large acquire
ments and comprehensive views to rep
resent them in China and Japan. Com
pare Sir Frederick Bruce and Charley
belong. The latter is a mere shallow,
wordy demagogue and politician. TIE
former is an accomplished and scholarly
gentleman. The Chinese and Japanese
are not fools. They are fully capable
of approaching the difference between
such men as Bruce and belong. In
our Judgment, it is a very grave mis-
lake to send men Of Charley belongs
.alibre 10 represent US with the Oriental
nations. France, England and Russia
have adopted quite a different policy.
They send acute and subtle diplomat
lists and polished men of the world to
China and Japan-men with whom De-
Long would compare very much as a
yoluble barroom statesman would with
Gladstone, Boutwell, or Colfsx.-San

of going home, as he wrote was his in
tention. Since that period he has been
heard Of at San Francisco and on the
Truckee River, and is reported wealthy.
He has sent very little home to his fam
lily, which is now suffering and in need
Of aid. A son went through the whole
war, and finally died Of consumption ;
and a daughter who was born after he
left home is an invalid. His family has
heard that he is living with auotherw o-

form US in regard to his locality, AID we
will communicate with the family.

GREAT DESTRUCTION OF Property
The fourishing town Of San Antonio,
Alameda County, CAL, was nearly de-
stroyed by FIRE on Sunday night. About
seven o'clock some persons passing the
drug store Of Mr.. Bangle, on Main
street, observed smoke issuing through
the door, aud almost Immediately the
whole building was developed in flames.
No person was in the building at the
time, the proprietor having left about
m hour previously. The buildings sd-
Joining, occupied by Mr.. SWEET and
Moffatt, were soon set on fire by the
flames as they dashed out. These were
saved from total destruction by the
cxertious of the Oakland fremen, who
were soou on the ground with their new
steam engine. Had it not been for the
energy of these men it is probable that
the damage would have been much
more serious than it Wal. While it in
cludes the destruction of the entire
block bounded by Main street on the
north and Lsrue's wharf on the south,
including the two story building occu-
pied by Plummer & Co., the grocery
store of Webster & Co., Bangles drug
store, Hellner l. Co.'S dry goods store,
the public hall, the blacksmith shop of
A. G. Howard, the Railroad Hotel, the
Pos,ofice. Bamber & Co.'S express
office aud Il number Of small buildings
occupied by Chinese and poor families.
The total amount Of damage is esti-
mated at $50, 900, but little of which
was insured. The origin Of the dis
aster, which has ruined several very de-
serving people. is stated to have been
the careless use Of candles in a cloth
and papered room. Fortunately no per.
son was injured, though several narrow
escapes are mentioned.-S.F r. Chronicle,

A DARING AND PgRILoUs PERFORM
AScg.-Last evening the daring and
reckless Jack Lee performed the perilous
feat of walking q rope stretched from
the roof Of Congress Hall, a building
three stories high, to that Of the
ALEXANDRIA Theater, on the opposite
side Of the street. The rain had sat-
urated the rope, and wind blowing rs it
did, almost o gale, rendered the per-
Torrance extremely hazardous. His
friends advised him to postpone the
dangerous undertaking but no, the
crowd thronged the street, and lie was
going to try it, il he failed. Blue fires
illumined the darkness, and in his
spaugled dress he advanced cautiously
out upon the rope. In painful suspense
the spectators watched his progress,
and not a murmur was heard until he
was safely across; then a tremendous
cheer burst from the anxious multitude
in the street, as his exulting friends
carried him triumphantly into the
Alhambra. Lee is the young daredevil
who undertook to walk a rope from the
Cliff House to Seal Rock, slipped and
would have fallen into the ocean had
he not dextrously caught on the rope
by his leg. He eventually made the
trip successful San francisco Chron'-
