The Gri~ly Bear.

The grisly bear is the largest and
most formidable Of The quadrupeds Of
California. He grows to be four feet
high and seven feet long, with II
weight, when very large and fat, Of
1000 pounds, being the largest OF the
carnivoro'is animals, and .nuch heavier
than the lion or Ii ger ever get to be.
The grislv bear, however, as orlina-
rll y seen, does not exceed 500 or 900
pounds in weight. In color, the body
is light, grayiSh brown about the
ears, and along the ridge Of the back,
and n"orl y LACK on the legs. The
hair is long, coarse and wirv, and Stiff
on the top OF the neck and between
the shoulders. The "srislv," as he is
usually called, is more common in
California than any other kind Of
bear, and was at one time eAcee,iin.-

out the State, but prefer, to make his
home in the chaparral, or bushes,
whereas the black bear likes the

tenacious of life, and he is seldom i'm

THE sO-CALLED "DELLNQUENT TAX
PAYERS."

The following communication is one that
must be considered, under The circumstances,
but mild and temperate expression of natu.
raj indignation at proceeding which is Us In.
excusable as 1t must be annoying. Some days
ago IL became evident that there had been, on
some side, gross carelessness, to use charita-
BILE term, 10 making mp these lists of deliu-
quent taxes, and we then called attention to
The fact that the owners Of very many of the
pieces of property then advertised to be sold
had paid their taxes, for the years named,
punctually and in full, and held tax receipts
therefor. It has since come to our knowledge,
from source of undoubted responsibility,
that out of The s270,OO Of taxes, for which this
vast amount of property was advertised to be
sold, fully 100000, or over one-third of the
whole amount, had long since been paid
The ihreadbare excuse OF clerical inaccuracies
can hardly be expected to cover up such
wholesale discrepancies as this, and the peo-
pie are beginning to clamorously Inquire,
'sWhat has become of the money ?"

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TIE NEWS.l
WASHINGTON, Friday, June Z.
In the Senate, tonight, senstor Kellogg, Of
Louisiana, introduced, as an amendment to
the sundry civil appropriation bill, all the pro-
visions of the enforcement or Klu-Klux bill,
which allow the President to suspend the pri-
vlleges of the writ OF habeas co.pus at his dis
cretion until the end OF the next session of
Congress. This was done In pursuance of a
secret agreement between the leading Grant
Radicals in both houses. The compact was
sealed during the last twenty-four hours, but
several days ago Senator Kellogg, as pre-
paratory step, introduced resolution 10 sus-
pend the Senate rule prohibiting any amend
ment to any measure before that body not
germane tc .c, from being placed upon it at
any time. The Grant party boast that they
have already gained several recruits.
The introduction Of the amendment pro-
duced great excitement, and the Senate floor
was crowded with members OF the House,
that body having adjourned. The object of the
amendment is to give the members of tie
House the choice OF swallowing the Ku-Klux
bill, or of allowing the appropriation bill to al
with IT, In the event that the House stands
firm, the President will call an extra session.
To escape this, and In their eargerness to get
home, it was believed that the House would
accept the bill as amended but tonight the
indications are that, although it may get
through the Senate, the bill will be flibustered
down In the House. N.

In the House Of Lords. tonight, Early Der

correcting the statement made by the former
in his speech on Monday, to the effect that
there was no understanding between the men,
bers of the high joint commission that The In
direct claims We're not to be presented, and
that the commissioners were, therefore, care
less in drawing up The treaty. Sir Stafford
Northcote declares positively that the commis-
sioners did understand that promise was
given that The claims ior indirect damages
would be Withdrawn. Granville also read
letter from Mr.. Schenck, the American minis
ter, affirming that the supplemental article is
amply sufficient 10 exclude the Indirect claims,
and authorizing The statement TO be made, us
coming from Washington, that the article Is q
final settlement OF the question OF the said
claims. The announcement was received with
cheers. Earl Derby said this put new face
on the matter, and he thought the debate
onght to stop. [Cheers.1 Earl Granville
warned the House that the indirect claims had
not been Withdrawn from the American case,
but that they would be disposed OF by the &c
ceptance of the supplemental article to the
Treaty cf Washington. Earl Russell then
withdrew his motion for an address 10 the
Queen, and the debate closed.

The Senate bill to declare and enforce the
civil rights of citizens of the United States was
taken no, when Poland moved an amend.
ment, fixing the maximum penalty al one

The bill under suspension Of The rules, and
Poland then modified bis amendment 80 as TO
Tx the penalty OF violation OF the law at one
hundred dollars. The House again voled,
yeas SO, nays 73. The question was decided In
the negative, as a two-thirdS vote was re-
QuIred; therefore the Senate bill still lies on
the table. The House next took up the Senate
bill to extend the suspension Of the privilege
OF the writ OF habeas corpus until after the
next session OF Congress-; but instead of a
two-third's vote in It's favor, there were only
fiity-six In the affirmative and eighty-eight In
the negative. This bill also remains on the
speakers table.
The House, on motion of McHenry, took up
and passed the Senate bill for the payment OF
all proper war claims of Kentucky.
In tho Senate, the bill allowing census
marshals additional compensation was passed.
The vote Oh erasing from the appropriation

The President vetoed the bill for the relief
of T. B. wallace, of Lexington, Mo-. as being

He further says that governments DO not

There was large and enthusiastic meetiBg
held In the Courthouse yesterday to nominate
delegates to the Columbia Convention on the

instructiDg or no instructIng, but decided TO
instruct under all circumstances for Greeley
and Brown. Ten delegates were appointed
from all parts of our county, and they are d.
rec,ed to &c for Greeley and Brown under all
circumstances. Greeley's strength Is great
with the Democracy here, and, strange to say,
the more violent the Democrat, the stronger
the Greeley man. 1t Is not known here If
the Democrats are on The Liberal Republican
platform, or the Liberal Republicans on the

they are the same Some Democrats here
