Up to late hour last night Charles OConor was
slowly but it was hoped surely improving. during
the day he seemed much easier than on previous
DAYS, and the difficulty OF eating-or rather OF re-
tanning upon his stomach what he has eateh-was
diminished to some degree yesterday. Mir. OConor'
in comparison with the previous days OF his sickness
ate about twice as much food usual. Dr. Reyes
his physician, who saw him about ocioch
yesterday afternoon, said, in conversation
with TRIBUNE reporter last evening, that
there was nothing at all to say about
Mr. O'Conor except that he was In somewhat lfi-
proved condition. He was sure that Mr.. OConor
would not die during the night nor Thursday night,
and he remarked that he would not be greatly sur
prised to sec Mr. O'Conor about in short time. In
health "he will 90 down and then come mp, go down
and come up again. To-day" added DIR. Reyes

LAWRENCE, THE SILK SMUGGLER.

lie NUsI FIRST BE TRIED FOR F0RGERY-IHE So
MCIToR's DECISION.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-Charles l.. Lawrence was
Jointly indicted with Deputy Collector Col. Robert
Des Anges for completely in smuggling silks through
The Appraisers Office at an differentiation. At the
time Of his indictment he was in Canada, where he
could not be reached the Extradion Treaty between
England and the United States not embracing the
crime OF smuggling. Lawrence was subsequently
indicted for forgery, which crime is covered by the
treaty in signing the name of +. l.. Banding and
others TO importers bonds and oaths of entry. The
premature publication Of this indictment in morn
ing paper caused Lawrence to flee TO Queenstown,
Ireland. He was soon arrested on an eXtraditon
warrant charging him with forgery, and sent back
to the United States, when United States District
Attorney Bliss proposed to try him for smuggling.
His counsel Messrs. Stoughton and Clarke, objected
on the ground that, having been extradlted
not at all. The question TINS raised was re-
ferred TO Attorney General PieTepOnt but he,
having acted as counsel for Lawrence, declined to
consider it, 1t was then laid before the Solicitor of
the Treasury, who has given decision in which he
says in substance that though the Government has a
right to try Lawrence for any of the indictments
found against him, it would, under all the crcum-
stances, be better first to put him trial for the
crime for which he was extradIted. In the event
of his acquitta on the charge of forgery the SOc-
tor says that Lawrence must be held on the charge
of smuggling, and that Mr. Bliss must apply fOI
further instructions in the matter.

Hotel Clerks.

The grocery clerks at San Francisco
and Oakland seem to have a mania for
suicide. We wonder when the con-
tagion will reach hotel clerks. We
have picked out few first-class high
toned clerks Of nobby hotels in San
Francisco as the early victims of the
contagion. They are nice boys, part
their hair in the middle. have pink
cheeks, sport diamond rings and pins,
wear standup collars and No. 5 boots,
answer in monosyllables, and send you
to the fifth story with your invalid
wife and bad-tempered her-in.law.
We mistook one of these gentry
for the proprietor once, but on inquiry
learned that he had repudiated his in
dustriOus mother, who was earningan
honest living at the wash tub, that he
owed the boot-black, was we'll ac-
quainted with all the danseuses at the
theatres, had deserted the poor dining
room girl whom he had married when
he was bell-boy, and spent more for
curling his hair and blacking his mus
tache than would keep a well regulated
family. We will furnish reliable
list when the contagion reaches the
knights of the hotel counter, and hope
the war will go bravely on.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-07-02
The Democracy.

Nothing seemed to mar the harmony
oftthe Democratic State Convention.
Every delegate seemed to be imbued
with the old Jeffeasonian spirit, ambi-
tious only for the safety of the people
and the good of the State. Whatever of
error has crept in to mar the record of
the old Democratic party, the repre-
sentatives of the party were deter
mined to eradicate it. Men were for
gotten in the contest for principle,
and tho platform stands out in bold
relief, q monument of political ideas
dear to the people. Animated by the
principles which are affirmed in
the State platform, the dele
gates could scarcely make a
mistake in selecting standard
bearers for the Democratic flag, and
we believe the people will endorse
their judgment. The State of Califor-
mia guided by officers standing on this
platform, would have reliaf from the
career of political robbery and jobbery
that has so long weakened the finances
of the State and made us a by-word
and a reproach. Every tax payer
should calmly review the situation
and consider whether a change is not
desirable. AS a fair presentment of
wise political principles, the Demo-
cratic platform is superior to the other
platforms, and we think the dispas-
sionate judgment of the voters, given
at the polls in September, will endorse
the sagacity of the Convention.
