The Political Drift in California.

The chances for a Dolly Warden sue
cess in the Legislature are declining. The
Denocrts are confident and defiant; they
will go into caucus and obey its orders
They are hopeful for triumph in the
next Presidential election: they are not
ready vet to bury their party; and they
resent the coincidence of the Cnicn and
Bulletin. The choice of the caucus for q
Senatorial candidate will probably be be-
tween Casserly and Haight. but the latter
is charged with having joined the indie
pendents in the last canvass, and he
mus: repudiate them before he can have
any show among the unterritied. The
idea of conceding the Senatorship as the
consideration of any compromise is not
entertained. 1t would be regarded as
treason to the National party. The per-
sistent attacks of the onion on Casserly
have embittered many of the Democrats
against Booth, and after exposing his
weakness have increased it. The only
hope for the choice of q Dolly Warden
Senator now lies in the surrender of the
straight Republicans, and of that there is
no probability II we are rightfully in
formed, not more than five, probably not
more than three. viii keep out OF Caucus
and refuse to accept the decision of the
majority That decision will almost GER
tainly be against Booth, and also against
supporting anybody not pledged to adj
here to the National Republican Admin
istration.
Tha decision Of the two ca-cuSeS will
render the election of q Dolly Warden
Senator impossible; and the Independ-
ents finding Booth distanced, will, it is
supposed, divide, and 60 according to
their previous political sympathies =
some for the Republican and others for
the Democratic nominee, both Of whom
will doubtless be selected with reference
tn tEeir influence over the outside vote.
Shafter and Stlby are. perhaps, now
more in favor than others On the Repub-
lcan side.
The combination necessary for the or
Ganization of the Legislature will proba-
bly, be between the Democrats and Re
publicans, the former being strongest in
the Assembly and the latter in the SEN
ate, and the two having an authoritative
representation in caucus The MERGED
Tribune (Democratic) SAYS:
There must I've coalition. and TO better
subserve The public interest, the Demo-
cratic members OF the Legislature should

BOSTON ITEMS.

Boston, 6. Nearly all the cities in Mass.
to-day inaugurated municipal governments
for 1873. Mayor Pierce of Boston, in his
message. gives the following statistics of the
great fire: considering the small extent of
territory, covering about sixty-fve acres and
the short time that the fire had been bnrning,
the amount of property destroyed was I'M
paralleled The whole number of buildings
destroyed, exclusive of those slightly dam
aged, was 796, of which 7l9 were of brick
and stone, and g. of wood. The assessors
valuation Of these buildings amounts to Sl3,-
j9l 800, and it is estimated that to replace
them would cost at least SlS 100000. The
value of personal property destroyed was
about 10000, 900. The number of estates
within the district covered by the fire was
about 800. The loss of life was comparative
small, owing to the fact that but few dwell
ing houses were burned and that those en-
ploped in mercantile or manufacturing pur-
suits in the buildings which were destroyed
had retired before the fire broke out Oaly
fourteen persons are known TO have lost
their lives and of this number seven were
tiremep.
The amount of debts of the several cities
is as follows: Boston, $40, 200; Lynn,
$500, 0o0y Worcester, 50 ,6S7, ol0; Lowell,

POLITICAL.

New Orleans, G. The city is quiet, and
the fears of a conflict subsiding. Very little
business is being done. Some 5000 persons
are already assembled about the City Hall
and Lafayette Square. The meeting there
will undoubtedly be large. This morning a
battalion of infantry and company of cav
airy moved up from the barracks to tempo
rary quarters on the corner of Magazine and
Julia streets. The conservative legislature
is caucusing. GS members of the House are
present. 1t is understood that they will not
meet at Lyceum Hall, but elsewhere.
LATER-The assemblage has increased to
or G,000. A large United States flag has
just been displayed from the balcony of the
Odd Fellows hall, on Camp street, indicating
that the conservative legislature will meet
there. A crowd rapidly assembled on that
side Of Lafayette Square. The asscmblage
is very quiet. The meeting has not yet been
called to order.
kATER-The crowd is momentarily increas-
ing. The stores are generally closed on
Sunday and Canal streets. Not lady is to
be seen on the great thoroughfare. A the
business men in the city seem to be particl.
pating in the Lafayette Square meeting,
more or less.
Little Rock, Ark, G. Only twelve coun-
ties were represented in the reform State
convention now in session. The project of
establishing new State government meets
with little favor among the democrats. The
capital is guarded by government troops, on
account of the threats to take possession by
some of the reformers.

Close OF the Stokes Trial.

At last the great sensation in New York
Courts of Justice, the trial of Edward Stokes
for the murder of James Fisk, Jr., has ter
minated, and in manner surprising to many,
we doubt not. One year ago last Saturday
Stokes deliberately shot Fisk in the Grand
Central Hotel, and as an act of retributive
justice jury of twelve of his countrymen on
the anniversary of his crime, found Stokes
guilty of murder in the first degree.
The second trial, after much delay, was
finally brought to a close on Saturday, the
court room being crowded, in anticipation of
the final scenes in the sensation of ~. Mr..
Tremaine, Stokes's counsel, made his con-
GLIDING plea inpugning the honesty of some
of the witnesses for the prosecution, and hold
ing up the character of Fisk to scorn. He
endeavored to work upon the emotions of the
jury by rehearsing platitudes and quoting
passages of Scripture to prove that Christian
charity was yrture deserving of their at.
tention, especially at this time. The entire
production, if correctly reported, was weak
and almost dev9id of argument calculated to

Call Declined.

Rev. c. F. Penney, pastor o! the Free Zap
fist church in this city, has just declined the
second invitation to become the pastor of the
Free Baptist church in Lynn, Mass, at sal
airy of $500, much larger salary than the
church here is able to give him. The first
call was given two years ago the coming
spring, and was declined, to the great joy of
Mr.. Penney's people here, and in fact the en-
tire community. The reverend gentleman
has had the last call under consideration since
the first of October, and its acceptance has
not only been repeatedly urged by the official
action of the church at Lynn, but some of the
most prominent members have been here and
personally pressed the claims of this large
and interesting field Of labor. 1t must have
been with many heart struggles that the de-
cisien was finally reached to say no TO this
renewed and urgent call, and the mind fully
made up to remain here with the people of
his early love and first choice. We rejoice
with the parish and all the good people of the
city in the final decision. Augusta cannot
afford to lose the services of Mr.. Penney. He

and faithful pastor May this new sacrifice he
has made, be to them the voice of the Master
calling upon them to work more diligently in
his vineyard and stay up the hands and en-
courage the heart of the under shepherd OF
their souls.

only say, that hope they are sufficiently
alive to their own interest to vote the loan OF
their credit in aid of the Kennebec and Wis.
casset, or, indeed, Of any other narrow gauge
railway, that would come within their Dor
! ders.
According to a peoples education, and the
number and quality of the roads they are
willing to build, may their civilization be esti-
mated. Who has ever known railway to
fail to add to the prosperity of every town
through which it passed? Rather, consider
the now prosperous towns which would never
have been known to commerce but for the
railways that opened them to the world. Were
there no such things as time and space, we
might all reach forward and place the pro-
ducts of our labor in the worlds centre, and
there exchange them for such products of our
fellow men as we need; but, unfortunately,
those who live on the outskirts of the world,
nave discovered that they must suffer the
effects of their isolation, in such degree as
they are removed from the centre of demand
and high prices.
1t follows, as 4 matter Of course, that il is
the interest of the producer to overcome by
any and every means in his power, the disad-
vantages under which nature may have
placed him, by making roads which shall give
the maximum Of capacity and the minimum
of cash. in the conveyance of freight. That
the narrow gauge system affords these desira-
bic objects, AM as much convinced as can
be by anything demonstrated by mathematics
