The Sea CIfR.Iieulah Controversy.
NEW YORK, Aug. 23..No proposition
has yet been made to submit to arbitration
the controversy between the Sea Cliff AS
sociation and the managers of Beulah
Missson. In nregard to the defeuse set up by
the former, the latter characterize it as
grossly incorrect In every essential particu-
lar, and say among the few truths admitted
by the defense, were some very gross mis-
statements. Mrs. Landon, on behalf of
the Beulah managers, says that at her first
interview she appeared in behalf of cler-
gyman who had purchased land at Sea
Cliff and feared he would bs swindled.
The controversy continues the absorbing
theme in Methodist circles.
The Traffic I'm italian Children.
At the examination of Mslto, the Italian
padrone, to-day before the United States
Commissioner, his counsel asked for his
discharge on the grounds that the Court
had 70 jurisdiction, aud that, not being
citizer, Malto could not be tried under the
civil rights act. The District Attorney held
that the defendant being an inhabitant Of
this country, he was aInendsble for vi
olation of its laws. The Commissioner
said he had doubts as to bis jurisdiction !;
however, he would continue the examina-
ton, and at Its close would take papers.

chief assailant and wrenthed the pistol
from him, and with the butt beat the two
Dien enough to march them before him to

4 SINGULAR FACT

Has been transporting for two years
past, ofwhich we have seen no notice
In our Exchanges. 1t is that a very
considerable number of people, long
residents, of California, are leaving
that State and settling in Texas. We
have met with many such within the
past two, years, and the number seems
to increase. There are number OF
such now. worthy citizens of Dallas.
The. general testimony of those with
7 whom we have conversed, amounts to
about this: That the good lands OF
California are in spots, demanding IT.
rigation; that large companies are
steadily monopolizing these lands and
absorbing the lands of small farmres;
the State is largely controlled by mo-
nopolies, till the late election turned
ION that issue; that many branches of
!. business are overdone; and, to crown
all, great deal Interruption has crept
!. in. For these and kindred reasons
these people left and think many 9th
ers will do SO. c ,..,

SENSIBLE.

The Paris Texas Chartist, a Repub-
lican paper, takes very correct views
In regard to, election and registration
laws. 1t assumes that as precinct
elections have been restored, registra-
ton should be abandoned, except, per-
haps, in large cities. This is precisely
Democratic doctrlne and what we and
our late Representative have commended
for; but'as long as the Constitution de-
nianded It, the last Legislature could
not abolish 1t, til q new constitution
should be made, and therefore it sought
to enact for the present a law that
would annoy the people as little as
possible. 49, 100.
The Chartist. thinks the present cleo
ton law could be greatly improved.
So say we. But the last Legislature
could not pass such law, in several re-
spects, as the Democrats preferred, be-
cause Governor, Davis held the veto
power and we had no majority In the
Senate to pass such a bill as all pre-
ferred over his objections. as
We note the, stand of the Chartisl
with, pleasure. 1t may rest assured
that, the Democrats, when in power
will seek to remedy nil the anomalies
in our Constitution and laws. in the
spirit of, conservative reform, for the
equal good Of the whole people. But

bic circumstances, probably fourteen o.

must first, have a new Constitution as

unnatural curiosity, "could he know
that tile inhabitants of Aghroath Were

applause aud here the speaker hand
ed to Mr.. Baxter himself the miracu-
lous report which occasioned so much
bewilderment. Mr., Haxter's explana-

exactly the same speach hc had deliv-
cred that night, and sent it to a news
paper Office in the county, hut how ii

Saturday, lie could not for the life of
him say, AS to the appearance of the

could give no explanation, and OH the

he was silent. The whole thing was,

and there can be no doubt that on this

lut w
The social world of Washington re-
ceived q stunning blow one day last
week in the reported failure of Sprague
Brothers Not that such failure af
fected the said social world immediate.
ly, for the charming queen of society,
Mrs. Sprague, is yet in mourning tor
her distinguished father, the late Chief
Justice, and giving up her princely
residence in the city has withdrawn TO
her iatleris late residence. three miles
out upon the Badensburg road. This
lady, whose heart is nearly broken 10y
the death of one SO near and dear to
her, announced her intention to
give up the place in society she
has made SO graceful and celebrated,
and devote herself to the domestic
cares and the private duties OF her
beautiful life. But We all know that
one cannot so readily abdicatna throne
Or throw aside u crown, and after the
first keen grief of her great loss wore
away the CLAIMS Of society would again
prevail. Rumor says that, however
embarrassed financially the Senator
may be, he has yet provision made
to his family that makes them indie
pendent. Aside from the marriage
portion settled on Mrs. Sprague, the
advent of each child was the occasion
for gift of 100000.
