rhe story OF Wandering willie. BY the
Author of "Eme's Frieuds.o etc

Author OF "Eme's Friends,, etc.
This is nearly an autobiography. 1t is a
quiet story of English life during the reign of
George Third, with some pathetic passages.
Wandering Willie," who tells the story of
himself after he has become an old man, wa,
disappointed in love in his youth. But instead
of brooding over his troubles, or committing
suicide, as is the fashion nowadays, he goes to
work bravely, and after while contentedly,
and finds that life need not be sad, because
ones dearest hopes do not attain fruition.
1t would be well for the modern young man
to initiate his example-even though he be a
hctitious character; the lesson can be learned
as readily. Reprinted from the third London
edition.

POLITICS IN CALIFORNIA.

Political matters in California are wax
ing hot. At the general election in Sep
TENDER no State officers will be chosen;
but in half the districts State Senators
are to be elected, and Assemblymen in
all the counties. Upon the Legislature
10 be chosen in September will devolve
the election of United States Senator in
place of Hon. Eugene Casserly, whose
term expires March 1, 1875. The choice
Of members of the Legislature in each
county will be fight on the Senatorial
question. Among Republicans the Sen
atorial contest is now a square personal
fight between the adherents of Governor
Booth, backed by the Sacramento Union,
and the followers of George C. Gorham,
supported by the Sacramento Record.
Mr.. Gorham $ recollections of the Unions
hostility TO him while candidate for
Governor in 1867, resulting in his defeat,
will not tend to create unanimity in the
Republican ranks, and the opposition of
the Record, Republican paper, to Gov
ernor Booth, who was elected as a Re-
publican, is another disturbing element.
On the question of Chinese immigration,
which has been SO much agitated of late,
the Democracy certainly have the best
record and it will be difficult for the
Republicans to ride the storm some of
their papers have created, even with
Booth as their standard bearer, while
with Gorham for their leader they could
not carry the State, against the powerful
opposition Of the Sacramento Union.
The currency question also looms up,
and must be met by both parties. That
the Republicans will favor the substitu-
ton of currency for gold and silver as &
circulating medium there can be little
doubt, and there is no certainty that the
Democrats will not do the same. The
slight depreciation of currency tends to
remove much objection formerly urged
against it, The Republican party of
California is divided, apparently beyond
reconciliation. The Democracy is united
and confident and with such standard,
bearer as Chief Justice Wallace, the
chances OF a Democratic triumph in
September are certainly more than hope

4 Legal. NUT TO CRACK.

An interesting case is on trial before
the Courts of Baltimore, involving a new
question Of law The facts of the case
are these: In the year 1866, one Haslin,
alias Tucker, was convicted of horse
stealing, in the Circuit Court of Charlie
county, and was sentenced to the peni-
Tertiary for the term of seven years and
six months. When he had served out
something more than six years of his term
he was pardoned by Governor Whyte on
the condition that he would leave the
State OF Maryland and never return. He
returned to Baltimore last January, and
soon after was arrested for alleged COM
plicity in the Lampley murder. 1t was
ascertained that he had no hand in the
assassination of Mrs. Lampley, but in
the meantime attention was called to his
violation of the conditions of his pardon.
He was brought before the Court on Fri
day last, and the jury impaneled to try
the question OF facts involved returned
an inquisition setting forth that Tucker
is the same man who was sentenced in
1865, and that he did violate the terms
of his pardon. Had the trial ended here
the prisoner would have been remanded
TO prison to serve out the remainder Of
his term; but the counsel made motor
in arrest of Judgment, and upon this
motion the constitutionalty OF the re
commitment of pardoned convicts who
do not observe the conditions of thei
pardon will be argued. Should the mo
ton be overruled, the case, it is thought
will he carried to the Court of Appeals.

shelter Of Northumberland Island, where
she was last seen by the party on the
foe. II such were the state of the case,
the first duty Of Captain Buddington
was to look to his vessel, particularly as
he probably believed that the party on
the ice could by the aid of the two boats,
the Kyacks and scow in their possession,
find their way back to the Polaris as
easily as he could force his way to them;
but whatever may have been his opinion
on this, the elements quickly determined
it. Shortly after the Polaris had been
sighted for the second time, a violent
gale sprung up and the ship and land
were lost sight of, and the ice foe drifted
away southwark with the nineteen per-
sons still upon it. In view OF the cir
cumstance detailed, it is therefore our
unanimous judgment that their final sep
aration from the ship was also accidental.
The report next details the adventures OF
the party on the foe until rescued by the
Tigress. At the time of their separation
from the Polaris every one belonging to
the expedition was in good health; the
Polaris had plenty of provisions, but
not much coal-probably enough to last
through the winter. She was last seen,
apparently at anchor, near Northumber-
land Island, where it is most likely she
remained for winter quarters. Mr.. Hayes
found Esquimaux residing on that island
and Esquimaux settled at Nacoik, close
by. Communication with these people
could be easily opened and maintained,
and no apprehension for the Polaris, or
in absence of accident OF sickness, for
those on board, is entertained by any of
the rescued persons. As to the question
whether the ship can make her way to
the Danish settlement of Upper Navik
or Disco without steam, if she gets free
from ice this season, supposing her to be
in rs good condition as when ihe rescued
party was last on board, the witnesse.

better opinion is that she will need as
sistance. On board the Polaris are spe
