HOOTH STILL ON THE ANXIOUS
SEAT.

The tremendous exertions to bull the
Booth stock and give it the controlling
place in the Senatorial fight at Sacra-
1nento have SO far fallen short Of forcing
success as that it Is now a very doui.-
fui matter if he ever gets. again, as many
votes rs were given hiIl yesterday. The
pressure must be already on the wane.
The moral attitude assumed for Booth
BY his hackers is already too stale and
obvious bit of hunbugge-y to fool any
body. He and his strikers are as foullv
besmeared With tbs slime and stencil of
tie filthy pool as the nas:iest and mos.
shameless Grab wi o .raf1ics in shameless
wan:onness in the purlieus of political
harlo.ry. They curse King Caucus and
ere sleepiess and constant devotees

the lobby, and crowd it with all
the bascr appliances known to Legislative
brokerage; they cry corruption against
their sturdy opponents while themselves
reek with falsehood and the arts and at
tributes of chicane1y. Here are the las.
returns. We copy from the Virginia

ALLUDING to the Communication o: the boy
murderer, Matheney, the Eureka .Se1stiael
of December l6 says:
1t is proper to state IL this connection
that Matheney made Il full confession of
the horrible crime of which he stands
convicted at n time when he had no
earthly hope Of his sentence being com
mu:ed. The document has been in our
possession for the last ten days, and
would have appeared in pamphlet had
the sentence of the Court been executed
Notwithstanding the sudden and unex-
pected turn in affairs We shall give the
main features of the confession in to-
morrow's Scatine!, when the public will
be better qualified to judge of the meas
ure of Matheney's guilt in the heinous
crime with which he stands charged.
The statement which we shall publish
was taken down rs his dying words.

HOaACE GREELEY'S GHOST on
THE SENATORIAL FIGHT

The BoOtbites have been consulting
Foster, the medium, at San Francisco
concerning the chances Of the Senatorial
election now in progress at Sacramento.
The following report OF the seanee is
from the San Francisco Caro,l:e!e Of the
18th:

night at 4 setnce given by Mr.. Foster
The famous medium at the Grand
Hotel, hut Il report Of the rather remark

occasion is necessarily omitted to-day
tor want Of space. One thing, however,
deserves to be mentioned as a crunlb of
comfort for the friends of Governor
Booth. and as such we hasten to place
i, where it will do the most good The
R.v. L Starr King WAS Supposed to be
invis bly, standing around ready fer mis-
cell.neous remarks and was asked How
many votes viii Booth have in Joint
Convention Tomorrow" Here the
shade of Horace Greeley interposed, and
Glowing the pArson out OF the way no
