Remarkable Career of (;oyerrcss.

The breach Of promise case of Leot X.
Turner VS.. Don Caledonia Ortiz, in San
Francisco, to recover s2o0.oUo. attracts
much attention. The plaintiff is the daugh-
ter of the late Daniel Turner. post
captain, called Commodore of the United
States navy. She left her parents in 1864
to seek employment i'll California as a
teacher. When SO employed at Oakland,
in 1864, she went to Mexico as a governess,
at 500 per month, under contract with
Don Caledonia. a Spanish merchant of
Hermosilio, a widOwer with four children,
who, though he knew many foclisl, women
in Mexico. found her more silly than the
rest.
He paid her every attention. promised
her marriage. gave her jewclry; she fell.
an abortion was practiced. and exposure
being minent, the guilty couple left for
San Francisco, where their intimacy con
timed. She again engaged as governess,
and obtained a situation in the mint; took
trip to New York, and don Ortiz was to
follow. He did not do SO; she governed it
little more, and held situation in the
United States Treasury Department at
Washington from June 9, 1867. until April
3, 1870, when she started for California, to
commence suit against the Spaniard. The
sensation part Of the plaintiffs narrative is
somewhat heightened by her statement that
Don Jose tried to poison her with red oxide
of lead.

HENRICo CONTESTED LLECTIoN.--Thc ilcn
rico contested election ease was called III
the County Court yesterday. Counsel tol
contestants, Major j. McDCarrington and
j. B. Mordccai; for the respondents, Col
John il. Popham and j. Ii. Shields
Tue following facts, rs set forth in the pc
ttion of the contestants, show the grounds
of contest. The returns mo claimed to DC
false returns:
81. Because no polls were opened, and
no election held ut Erin Shades precinct in
said election district No. = oi said township,
US required by law.
III. Because the votes cast at said VI Moran
store, in said election district No. l, by vo-
ters registered and residing III district No.
,, were illegally cast, and should not have
btcu received by the judges OF election ut
that precinct, since your petitioners are
advised that under the law the voter must
vote in the election district III which he re-
sides and was registered, and in none
other: the violation of this provision being
punishable by law as u mistlemeanor.
LII. Because the said judges Of election
at said Mur:li'S store erred iii receiving the
vote OF any person whose name Qlu not ap-
pcar on the Registration lists of said district
No. |, and they had no authority TO permit
voters to vote on affidavit, nor In any other
manner than that specifically set forth i'll
the election laws.
". Because the polls ut said Moran's
store were not opened at the time required
by law"
Tho case was opened by Mr.. Mordecai,
who was followed by MIR. Shields, after
which the court adjourned until 10 O'Clock
this morning. Col. Popham and Major
Darlington have yet to speak, i.ter which
it will be submitted to the court.

a REMARKABLE FEAT.-Scvcral days ago
a gentleman OF thi, CITY purchased horse
in our sister city, Manchester. Soon after
wards having occasion to visit the lower end
of 9th street, lie tied his horse and left him
for moment. But Mazcppa," viewing
the distant hills of his native country, and
signing for the freedom Of the green pas
lures Of his beloved Manchester, bid deli
ancc to rein and teihcr, and struck Il bee
line" for home. Regardless Of river and
rocks hc plunged into the ioamins current.
and with lusty sncws stemned the roaring
Hood. What with climbing rocks ana
scrambliDs over dams, he had very nearly
reached the opposite shore before lie was
intercepted by his owner, who had pro-
cured a boat and was in not pursuit. sitter
y hard struggle he was brought back con-
slderably bruised about tile body. The
ploy that fellow to "locate" the line Tor
their new bridge. lie would make first
class l. chain-5earer."
