The Difference between Stage Drivers
in the Alps and Sagebrush Jehus.

A correspondent of the Sacramento
Union travelling in the Alps has the
following to say about stage drivers:
But everywhere the scene is chang
ed, and instead of the vis-a-vis rail-
road coupe we mount the time-honor-
ed diligence, or rather travelling van,
with the trunks in a wedge-shaped
box under the body, and the seats
(holding five each, SC broad is the
space between the wheels arranged
like those OF a theater, each tier rising
a little higher that no view may be
DISTRACTED. There are two horses on
the wheel and three horses abreast on
the lead, and with an assurance OF
seven changes in fifty miles, we set
out for Chamounix under AS crisp a
breeze as ever wheed'ed a party with
its pure air. In addition to the driver
we have a conductor, attired III q blue
cotton frock, who sits beside the man
of the reins and tiourisheS his petty
prideful authority. 1t is the conduct
or who manages the brake, who reg
ulates the rate of speed. who orders
halts and directs ac~celeration. lie
says to the driver "whip the near
leader" and it is done. He exclaims
punch the off wheeler" and the or
der is Obeyed. He waves his hand
imperiously to the right OF left to i'll
dictate that greater or less sweep must
be taken in rounding a curve or pass
ing a wagon. As l watched the an
tics of this "fellah who Directs l
glanced at the back ofthe head of the
submissive driver, and thought of
Curly Bill" and how he would
throw his ears under such circum-
s~tances-for William always wagged
his ears when abont te swear-and his
ears We're long and Timber. ! thought
how kindly Hank Monk or Badly
Green would take to the suggestions
and directions of a party in a blue
smock who should sit alongside. l
am afraid that the Republican mother
has spoiled those children of hers for
usefulness as Alpine stage-drivers."

A Moneyed Fight.

The indications point strongly to
the probability of a moneyed fight in
the California Legislature for the
Senatorship. Already the three fac
tons, Republicans, Democrats and
Independents, are pronouncing each
against anything like a compromise
with the other. Neither party has
sufficient strength to elect the Sena-
tor. During the campaign it was as
serted over and over again that Gov
ernor Booth had not deserted the Re-
publican party. Now that the cleo
ton i. over, however, we do not find
his friends appealing to Republicans
As Republicans to elect him to the
Senate. On the contrary, the Sacra-
mento Union is enthusiastic for the
formation of q new party, declaring
that between the Independents and
Republicans there is an irrepressible
conflict. The Union asserts that 1.-The
Peoples party can have nothing to do
with Republicans. They are enemies,
says hat journal, as much as Repub-
licans and Democrats were in 1862.
There can be no concert Of action, no
utilization between them, on county,
State or more general issues" From
this it would appear that the friends
Of Governor Booth have but little
hope Of getting the support o fthe reg
ular Republican members of the Leg
islature. They really do not deserve
it, if the above reflects their senti.
ments.
There is also war between the Dem.
ocrats and Independents. The San
Francisco Examiner, the leading Dem
ocratic paper in the State, claims that
the success of the Dolly Warden tick
ct in the metropolis was due to DEM
ocratic votes, cast for it on the declar-
alton Of the Bulletin and Gail that halt
the legislative delegation was pledged
70 go for Casserly. The Examiner con
tinues: ut is too gross an assump-
ton to say Booths speeches, work,
or record, won this fight. They
didn't accomplish that in this
county by any means. The
result of the contest here was not
due to Booths popularity" The En-.
aminer complains of Gov. Booth and
his organ, the Union, and says in sub
stance that they are gully of bad faith.
After securing the election of the Dol
ly Warden ticket by Democratic votes,
Il asserts, that They nov propose to
defraud those Democrats ont of
The fruits Of their sacrifice"
From the samples given above it
will be observed that pretty strong
language is being employed on all
sides. That such a state of affairs
tends to defeat the purposes of the
Anti Monopoly movement, no one
car deny. After all, it is among the
things possible for the railroad to
elect its man. In any event it seems
certain that the winning man will be
compelled to eXpend numerous TWEEN
ty-dollar pieces before he pockets his
certificate of election.

Loss, S3OO.O

New YORK, January 2.-The total
losses by the burning of the Fifth Av-
enue Theater will reach from two hun
dred and fifty thousand to three hun
dred thousand dollars. The treasurer,
with great difficulty, managed to save
the receipts of the matinee, but failed to
rescue the valuables in the safe. TIE
Fifth Avenue Hotel was damaged to the
extent of about five thousand dollars
The hose were all uncOupled in that es-
tablishment when the fire broke out,
and an attache of the house was found
playing upon the flame through the
broken end of hOsepipe. The theater
belonged to the widow of Col. James
Fisk. Augustine Daily, the lessee, lost
fifty thousand dollars, and was wholly
uninsured. The general opinion is that
the fire was caused by an Overheated
farnace. Some of the falling walls Of
the theater fell into the kitchen of the
hotel and damaged part of the supper.
The dining room was filled with smoke,
and food was served up for guests in
many of the balls. The theater was
three stories high, and had a front of
white marble. Relief subscriptions
were started last evening for some of
the burned-out thespians. The business
manager complains that he was pre-
vented by the police from taking the safe
out of the theater. The conduct of the
police toward spectators was abomina-
bic. They indiscriminately clubbed
right and left.
Miss Clara Morris had a portion of
her wardrobe in the theater, and lost
about $500 worth. Charles Fisher lost
$500 and portion of his wardrobe, in-
Guiding his dress of "Falstaffn His loss
will probably reach $500. He stated
