SAN Dnoo, August 2s.-A Union cor.
respondent from San Luis Rsy, August
26th, has the following: We met here
Justo Chavez. the robber hunter. About
three weeks ago he and his companion,
Isadors Redentarss, who are in pursuit
Of Chavez, the Lisutsnant Of Vasqusz,
overlook him at the Aqua Chissro, just
beyond Ballena Valley, and shots were
exchanged. The Lieutenant was well
mounted, and easily escrped the wsaried
horses OF his pursusrs. Justo starts to-
morrow for Milquatay, having reliable
information that Chavez is in that vi.
cinity.
A party Of Enslishmsa r here and
start tomorrow to examine the Santa
Rosa rancho, with a view to purchasing.
There is but little hay in this valley this
year, all having made grain.
From Banner Mining District we learn
that the owners Of the Ready Relief
mine, while sinking for q foundation for
new machinery, some 800 or 400 feet
below the mouth Of their tunnel, at q
depth OF ~ feet, the workmen struck a
vein OF ore two feet in width and very
rich in free gold. This vein is ascer-
tanned to DO the same ledge into which
the company has been tunnsling above,
and its discovery demonstrates fact that
at a depth Of between 300 and 400 feet
the vein continues wide and regular,
and that 1t increases In richness. II is
thus established beyond question that
the Ready Relief il . rich, permanent
mine, and its present purchasers may
we'll feel jubilant, for their fortune is
assured. In this discovery we have an
other proof that the quartz mines OF
San Diego county arc true mines, not
mere deposits, and that their develop
ment promises q rich reward to the in
vsstment OF capital.

A rural rooster from Kentucky visited
New Orleans a short time ago and there
learned his wonderful deficiency in mu-
steal modulations. In writing back to
the Louisville Courier-Journal he dipped
his pen in irony and went after the Gre
cles in this sharp manner:
New Orleans is the most musical city
have ever visited. That is, l mean
that it is more on music, and has the
most critical musicians, or to speak
more accurately, the most musical
critics-that is to say there is more
music to be criticised, or rather more
critics to the amount of music-how-
ever, Ballard Smith knows what l
mean. But the people here do adore
music, and know it by heart and ever
lastincly 90 for it. What they cant
tell YOU ahou: music wouldn't be worth
publishing for the Instruction of small
children. They know all about ancient
music and modern music, and the
music of the future Some OF their ideas
on the subject are sufficiently venerable

and some again are too young to stand
alone. 1t is great privilege and bene-
6t to hear New Orleans talk about music.

rHE NEW CITY GOVERNMENT

Mr.. John League was duly sworn into
Office rs Mayor last night in the pres
ence of a large crowd of citizens, and
asterward administered the oath OF othce
n the Councilmen elect. The old Board
Of Aldermen likewise adjourned sine
die. and the new one was sworn
in. Mayor League took no other
part in the proceedings. Judge
Harry Lee, q Liberal Republican, was
elected temporary chairman OF the
Board of Aldermen and DR.. W. ID. Hew-
III as permanent chairman of the Com
mon Council. DIR. Hewitt is also Lib
sral Republican. His election by SO large
a majority in the Council gives satistac-
ton to all parties. DR.. Hewitt is gem
tleman of integrity and high order of
capacity and executive ability. The
Board of Aldermen was not in as
smooth working order, and adjourned
without electing a permanent chairman,
but will doubtless accomplish this to-
night. The nominations to be made by
the Mayor, we presume, will not be sent
in until next Wednesday night, unless a
caucus is held to-day, which seems un-
likely. Meanwhile, the numerous ap-
plicants for various positions and
the public will remain in state
of profound expectation as to the
course Mr.. League will pursue,
for he keeps his own counsels better
than any man, except, perhaps, General
Grant, in the United States. He has
been pumped at with forty horse power
by friends and foes, but so far declines,
like the Sphinx, to yield up the great
secrets which are TO make few happy
and so many miserable. The book
for applicants has already quite an
array of names, to which many
Others are to be added. Whether
Mayor League will be guided in his
selections by the rules Of the civil service
reform remains to be seen. We believe,
however, from knowledge Of his char
acter and the ambition he doubtless has
10 make a tiptop administration, and
