Local Option Election.

We are indebted to Thos. McCaffey,
operator at the Atlantic and Pacific
Telegraph Office in this city for the fo,-
lowing reports: The number of votes
cast in Wilmington yesterday
was sixty five; for no license,
two; for license, 63. Every
thing was quiet; no disturbance of
any kind; no excitement about the
election, and no drunks. The saloons
were all closed. AT Los Nietos, the
vote in Silver precinct stood, 1l9 for
license and eight against. No returns
from Old Los Nietos were made up to
the time of our advices. 1t was re-
ported that everything passed off quiz
city, with the exception of one fight,
in which no great damage was done.
The polls We're run by one of the clt rls
instead of the judges. The license
party were firing guns every five min
utes in honor of their victory.

DR.. Haswel's Lecture.

Dr. Haswell, of Sacramento, held
forth last evening at the M. +. Church,
on Fort street, on the topic of temper
ance, to a select number of ladies and
gentlemen. He reviewed the action
of the Legislature of this State in re-
ference to q number of laws passed for
the purpose of lessening the spread of
intemperance, and showed that before
the Local Option law had been con-
sidered statutes had been adopted sus-
tanning the principle of prohibition.
He cited the Berkely University law,
which prohibited the sale of liquor
within two miles of the State Univer-
sity, as a complete concession to the
principle of prohibition; for if it was
conceded that the principle was good
in one place, it was good in all places.
He claimed that Local Option had not
suffered defeat wherever it had been
tried, for where even a majority of
votes had been carried against it, the
effect of the showing of hands had
been beneficial to the cause Of moral
ity and temperance. He believed in
the duty of the churches, the temper
ance people and of all who held I'll Q
moral welfare of the community as
paramount, to take advantage of the
opportunity now offered under this
law to restrain an evil which has done
so much to demoralize society. He
will lecture again this evening, at
Good Templars' Hall.

The San Diego Union thus notices
Vivian's performance at that place:
"Vivian's entertainment last evening
was given to very appreciative au-
dience. 1t was decided success, and
well repaid those who were fortunate
enough to be present. We are unable
to notice it in detail, owing to the alb
sence of programmes, which were dis
patched by steamer and did not arrive.
Madame Muse is an accomplished pi-
anist. Her limitations of the banjo
were excellent. Madame Reiffarth
possesses very powerful, sweet and
well-cultivated voice, and sang with
spirit and effect, winning several en-
cores from the audience. Vivian Is
known to everyone on this coast,
by reputation or through his popular
songs. But no idea can be formed of his
inimitable character-acting except by
seeing him. He possesses wonderful
power over his face and voice, and his
changes are instantaneous and aston
ishing. There is ali absence OF any
thing boisterous or rude-too often the
case; he is quiet and gentlemanly and
never overdoes his part The per-
formance is elegant, humorous and un-
exceptionable, with nothing to offend
the most fastidious. We bespeak a
full house tonight; the last chance to
hear Ten Thousand Miles Away"
Vivian will give entertainments at
Merced Theatre tonight and to-mor-
row night. Secure your ticket early

complained of pain about his heart, and
Mrs Haun proposed to go with him
through field and open pair of oars
for him. He replied that it was not neces-
sary and started away. After riding a
short distance he returned for his book of

a DlABoLIcAL OUTRAGE.

PANAMA. May 3.-A correspondent
writing from San Jose, Guatemala,
under date of the 25th ult., describes a
diabolical outrage committed at that
port on British subject by Colonel
Gonzalez, military commandante there.
Soon after the arrival at San Jose of
the steamship Arizona, ell route from
San Francisco to Panama, it was Wits
pered about that Mr.. Moncrief, agent
OF the Pacific Mail Steamship Company
and John Magee. H. B. Ms vice
consul, had been arrested by order of
the commandante, and that Magee was
sentenced to receive 400 lashes at
T. M. Considering the position of
Magee, the statement was scarcely
credited. Moncrief was released and
allowed to go on beard the steamer -
Magee being unable to walk down to
the mole where said eemmandante
wanted to see him, an armed guard
was sent to bring him dead or alive
When he was brought into the pres
ence Of Gonzalez he was only prevented
from shooting Magee by tie inter
cession of friends He then struck him
with the but Of his revolver, and order.
ed him to be taken and put in COM
fnemeut dntil he recovered so he could
administer the 400 lashes which he had
threatened AS ii. b. Nj. s Vice Consul
Magee invoked the protection of his
flag but without avail. Mr.. James,
consular agent of the United States,
prepared a protest in the name of his
government and presented it just as
Gonzalez was about to commence the
logging of Magee.
The colnmandante became furious
and threatened to serve James ard
every foreigner az he was going to do
Magee. He was equally deaf to the
surgeon ct the port, who said that 400
lashas would kill Magee. ''Let him
die, them" was the reply vouchsated.
Magee was then partially stripped and
laid on the floor. Three men were d.
rected to sit over his head and should
ers, and four over his feet, with man
holding each arm. The fogging was
done BY fonr soldiers, relieving each
other after every fifty lashes, the COM
mandante keeping tally. By the time
two hundred lashes had been given,
Magee was inst nsiblc. An order was
given to carry him to AN adj lining

Nothing is more needed in this commu-
nifty than suitable burial place for our
dead. We have now scattered over the
town at different points six or seven grave

erected to offend the senses of all VIII, would
