The California Senatorial Ilnbroglio
..Trying to Defeat Booth.

SAN FRANcnco, Dec. 3.-The Senate
failed to elect permanent officers tor that
body and adjourned till tomorrow.
In the Assembly N. n. Esto, ol this
city, Democrat, was elected Speaker, and
Loofborough, Of Eldorado, was elected
Clerk. Mr.. Bsrouck, who refused yester.
day to recognize the call for ayes and
noes on o motion to adjourn, and who
arbitrarily declared the House adjourned
while acting as Speaker protein, was re-
buked by O resolution of the House. His
action gained several votes for Booth, and
therefore defeated It's purpose, which was
to gain time for The railroad party TO
patch up opposition to Booth. There Is
nothing yet likea formidable opposition
to him, and the railroad crowd, led by
Billy Carr and Collector Shannon, seems
perfectly demoralized. The election Of
Esto is point gained for Booth.
SECOND p1spATcH.
The Senate meets at noon to-day to
make another effort for permanent Or
ganizs.ion. No Tears are expressed that
Booth will not be elected to the United
States Senate for the long term. No
choice is yet announced of The candidate
for the short term. .r.

EXCLUSIVELY TO THE HERALD.
CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, Nov. IA Washington
special gives the report of@n inter-
view with Collector Casey of New
Orleans, on the Cuban question. He
says General Longstreet has for years
past been organizing party expedi-
ton in New Orleans for an advance on
Cuba at any moment the Government
would be embroiled, which he has an
ticipated for some time. The expedi-
ton Is said to enroll 10000 men. He
says Havana can be starved out.
Eight dollars head Is the duty upon
the importation of Texas cattle to the
island, and $1l per head for horses.
Casey says every member of the Cabi-
net is stiff for maintaining the dignity
of the country, and the President, he
says, is particularly earnest, but he is
too considerate to adopt war measures
before Congress meets. The confeder-
ate element, he says, has been GEN.
tralized in view of the conflict with
Cuba, which shall avenge the fate of
Lopez and Crittenden. Casey says no
member of the Cabinet wants to see
Cuba possessed by the United States,
but that our commercial relations with
Cuba are demanded, and also a more
equal consideration at the hands OF
the Spanish Government, which will
place the United States on an equality
with the English, who have not been
annoyed in any way, while American
citizens, native or naturalized, have
been put to death, as if everything was
to be feared from England and nothing
from America. Secretary Fish talks
with as much spirit as any other men,
Der of the Cabinet. Robson has been
nursing the navy for past years, and
thinks it efficient enough, considering
the Spanish disadvantages, to make
easy work. The President will speak
in his message with vigor on the
Cuban question, and wait the prompt
action of Congress.
The tone of the western press gen.
orally, on Cuban affairs, is favorable
to prompt and energetic action on the
part of the United States government,
to punish the insult to our flag and
avenge the slaughter Of our citizens,
but the majority are opposed to the an
nexation of that island under any cir
cumstances.

THE plea Is frequently made, says
the Denver Ne,0s, "that the eastern
weeklies are cheaper and better than
the country papers because they give
more columns of reading for the
money. Do the eastern papers, he
asks, ever give you any home news?
Never. Do they say anything In re-
gard to your own county? Do they
contain notices Of your schools,
churches and meetings, improvements
and hundreds Of other matters of in
terest, which your paper publishes
without pay? Not an item. Do tn "
ever say word calculated to draw at.
tention to your Territory and Its nu.
m srous thriving towns, and aid in
their progress and enterprise? Not a
word. And yet there are men who
take such contracted Views of this
matter that, unless they are getting as
many square inches OF reading mat.
ter In their own paper as they do In
an eastern paper, they think they are
not getting the worth of. their money.
It reminds us of . person who took
the largest pair of boots in the box,
simply because they cost the same
as the pair much smaller, that fitted
him. a
These remarks are just as applicable
to every county in California, as to
those east of the Sierra Nevada's.

Gov. DoWney ~ y. s. Senator.

The following correspondence from
the San Francisco Post, explains It's
elf. The people Of the State might 90
deal farther than Governor Downey
and do worse. He made an excel
lent Governor, as is admitted by all.
If the legislature should take him up,
they would be sure of an honest man:
EDITOR PosT.-While the names of
several prominent citizens of Califor-
mia have been mentioned in cOnnec-
tion with the United States Senator
ship, that of Governor John G.. Dow
ney should not be forgotten. He has
served the State In the high position
of Governor, and his administration
reflected credit upon himself and those
who placed him In that position, and
San Francisco has good cause to re-
member his fidelity to his trust. Iden-
titled, as Governor Downey Is, with
every leading interest in the State,
conservative In his political views, in
harmony with the sentiments Of the
masses Of the people as expressed at
the recent election, and scorning to
purchase his advancement by mere
money; in case Governor Booth Is not
selected to fill the vacancy occasioned
by the expiration Of the term of Sena-
tor Casserly, why should not the con-
servative members of the Legislature
select Governor Downey to be the
next Senator? The northern portion
OF the State is represented by Senator
Sargent, and it is only right, in case
the friends of Governor Booth cannot
control majority Of the vote, that the
southern portion Of the State should
have the next Senator, and If so, the
choice could not fall upon more wor-
thy and upright citizen than Cover
nor Downey. ~l
