VEToED.-Mayor Alvord, of San Fran
cisco, has returned to the Board of
Supervisors, without his approval, the
celebrated pigtail ordinance and laun-
dry license ordered leveled at the Chi

because it proposes to infict on Chinese
convicted of misdemeanor a punishment
which they deem shameful and dis
graceful, and says that no such punish
ment ought to be inflicted for crimes
not Infamous. He further objects to
the ordinance because it is by terms in
violation of the treaty with China and
the laws of the country, and is also OPP
posed to the policy of the Government,
The Mayor holds that no State, less a

a D1sGRAcED SENATOR. An illustration
of the transitory nature of earthly glo-
ry, unless supported by pure life and
personal merit, is afforded in the case
of John Nipple, alias ]. H. Mitchell, of
Oregon, who but few months ago as
sumed the Senatorial toga under such
fattering auspices. 1t appears that
his sudden elevation has been the cause
of as sudden fall, for at Washington
he met those who had known him I'M
der different circumstances from those
he has lately assumed. The charges
against him are, briefly: Ascending
with money belonging to his partner;
desertion of wife in destitute circum-
stances, and even the crime of bigamy,
his second marriage in Oregon having
been consumma.ed years before de-
cree of divorce had been obtained by
his first wife. In letter recent to the
press, Mr.. Nipple admits the material
allegations and ascribes to domestic in
felicities all his subsequent misfortunes.
His defense is exceedingly weak, and
we have yet to find journal that has
said word in his defence. Alas! how
have the mighty fallen?
