New YORK, February 16. -
A Tribune Washington specia.
gives the text Of a letter of Senator
Wilson of Massachusetts to his 20.
litical and personal friend French,
in relation to his (Wilson's) can.
didacy for the nomination for Vice
President. Wilson say that when
Colfax announced that he would no,
be a candidate for reelection many
prominent Repub leans urged him
WILSON, to become a candidate for
the nomination, and after ascertain
ing that the Vice Presidents decision
not to run again was final, he yielded
to the requests of his friends before
leaving for Europe in June last.
After his return and before the
meeting of Congress, many leading
men from more than a dozen States
assured him that they and the Re,
%publicans of their States were in
favor of his nomination. He con
Guided as follows: The revocation
by the Vice President of his declina-
ton was to me a surprise. 1t placed
me in an unpleasant position, and
my first impulse was to withdraw
from the contest; but by the advice
of some of the best Republicans of
the land, east, west and south, 1
leave the question to my personal
and political friends. Whatever
may be the resuld l shall be content,
and shall do what 1 can for the unity
and Gee of the Republican party,
whoever may be its candidates; for
L am bound to it alike by conviction
and by associations; by gratitude for
its deeds of patriotism and liberty,
and by the hopes of service it may
yet render the country.
WASHINGTON, February 16.-Sena-
tor Carrot Davis is able to sit up.
His physician says he thinks he will
be out in a few days, but it is i'm
probable that he will be able to re-
sumo his duties in the Senate at this
session.
OMAHA, February 16.--A portion
of the State Legislature met at the
Capitol to-day under the call issued
during the absence of Acting Cover
nor James. The doors of the Sen.
ate and Representative chambers
were found locked and a request
was sent to Governor James for the
keys, which was refused; whereupon
the members burst open the doors
and took possession. A quorum of
the Senate is said to be at the Capt.
tol, but a sufficient number of them
are absent to prevent the transaction
of business. There is no quorum of
the House but the Sargent-at-arms
was dispatched after the absentees.

Among the curiosities of climate,
says the San Francisco Bulletin, we
have Shasta with about seventy
inches of rainfall, and San Diego
with hardly o than four inches.
In the latter county. according to
the testimony of residents, there is
now no prospect of sufficient mois-
ture to insure a full crop of wheat.
San Diego, in its physical character
istics, belongs to Lower California.
1t appears to be just far enough re-
moved from the positive climate of
both countries to lose the benefit of
either. 1t does not come within the
sweep of the rainy season of Mexico
or OF orr own State. 1t is between
hay and grass, having little of either.
But there are living streams in that
region, and We shall see some day
what irrigation will do for a country
which needs a little more water to
redeem it from the caprices of ma
ture.

JUDGMENT NoTEs.-A Sacramento
correspondent of the Colusa Sun
writes
\ very important measure was in
troduced by Mr.. Compile, called an
Act to authorize attorneys to confess
Judgment upon notes in the several
Courts of the State. 1t has ALWAYS
been strange to us that this has not
been done one In Pennsylvania
II has been the custom for over half
a century. In writing what is there
called Judgment note, you add to a
common promlssory note something
like the following language: And
| do hereby authorize and empower
any attorney, of any of the courts Of
record, to appear for me, and in and
for me confess Judgment against me
for the sum-" &c., as in the note.
This practice saves much costs, much
litigation, and gets Judgment at once.
which is better than taking q mort
gage.

MEXICAN INTERVENTION.

The reyolutionists seem to be gain.
ing ground in Mexico, although they
have lost II of their leaders, Gen.
Diaz. 1t is now reported that Gen.
Grant promised Juarez to support
him in ease of necessity, and that
.Juarez is demanding the promised
assistance.
If General Grant ever made any
such agreement as this he had better
abandon it. Juarez has long been
understood to be pledged against the
sale Of any portion of Mexican ter
ritory to this or any other country.
While this Government would never
consent to a transfer of any portion
of Mexico to any European power,
whetheS Juarez agreed to it or not,
it has no interest in sustaining an
administration pledged against any
acquisitions by the United States.
If Juarez would agree to the sale of
three or four of the Northern Mex
lean States to the United States, in
consideration of aid in suppressing
the revolution, the American people
would be disposed to favor the ar
rangement. But to enter into an
other war for nothing, or worse than
nothing, to uphold a system antas-
onistic to American enterprise con
sequent on annexation, would be
folly. We doubt the existence of
any such agreement. The Northern
States of Mexico are doomed to con-
solidation with the American States,
and the sooner it is accomplished the
better for them and for us.

Hon. WILLIAM CASSIDY
MY DEAR SIR--In reply to yours and many other
communications received from various parts of the
State, take great pleasure In saying that, fOed in
their previous efforts to shake the allegiance OF de-
m0crats in their principles and candidates. our adj
versaries are now appealing to the temporlzing OF
the doubtful and the selfish, with false and industr
ously circulated reports, that New York city is
certain to cast majority OF her votes for Grant
and for Dix. This unrelieved faseh0od measures
the extent OF their fears and the extremities to
which they are reduced. The democratic vote OF
the city, though to some extent divided upon
Mayor and some other local candidates, is well
nigh unit upon Greeley and Herman. This dvi-
siOn II In other respects unfortunate, has never
theless an obvious tendency to increase the aggre
gate votes for the national and State tickets. The
competition caused by such local divisions has In
variaby enlarged the general vote, and 1t will not
be otherwise now.
Democrats Of the country, be not deceived. The
democrats OF this city are coming into line. They
will suffer neither State nor nation to be ravaged
by the c0rruptOnists II their votes can prevent IT,
The Greeley electoral and Herman state tickets
will be supported alike by the Tammany and Apollo
Hall organizations and be distributed from their
boxes.
Then, disregard reports and be true to your du-
ties. The city of New York has In store her old
democratic strength with which to reinforce the
democratic majOrities that she expects down from
the country on the night c.! the 9Th Of November,

Among the letters received yesterday at the
liberal headquarters was one from gentleman in
North Carolina, who says that the recent renunca
ton OF Greeley by oscar Eastwood, in that state
recently was brought about by force, 1t being the
price OF pardon offered him by the Grant men for
the criminal offence OF selling soldiers pay ac-
counts and the alternative OF severe and relent-
less prosecution. Letters OF the most assuring
nature come in from all parts OF the country. 1t
Is stated that large Presbyterian congregation in
Northwestern Ohio has declared s0lemny for
Greeley because Of the Methodist prescription cir
cular recently published.

POOL SELLING ON THE ELECTION.
American Pools at JOhnsOn's and
French Pools at Thomas.

French Pools Mt Thomas.
There was the usual heterogeneous mass OF
beings at Johnsons last night assisting at the pool
selling on the elections. In fact, more than the
usual mass, for the meeting in the street above
brought down a miscellaneous mass Of people, not
80 much bent on betting as on seeing how the
thing was going. Many spruce overloaded young
men were around, dressed in the most fashionable
style, all bent on ventilating their nascent opin-
ions on the elections and all OF whom displayed the
most sublime ignorance Of what was at stake.
None Of these young men adventured any money
on the result. They were satisfied with Impress
ing the ignorant bystanders with their profound
knowledge OF politics. Pugsts and their habitual
c0nsorts were also present, but did no betting.
The rough and ready element strutted round, illus
trating with many beautifully rounded explosives
their admiration OF this candidate and their unal-
l0yed contempt OF that. The young men watched the
proceedings OF these gentlemen with evident awe
and admiration, and quite often made papable
limitations OF their staggering selfsufficency.
the minority, but, in their quiet way, they put up
all the money which appeared during the evening.
Many politicians were present, but they did not
seem to be In very fine feather, and abstaned from
betting. AS rule the money staked was in small
amounts. Large sums did not appear to be repre-
scented at all IN the concourse present, and the
constant noise from the meeting above often
drowned the voice Of the auctioneer hard as ne
tried to make the bids heard In all parts Of the
nall.
The following are the results OF the selling
