His table was furnished for forty guests
daily. There were sixty elegantly fitted up
guest chambers in the palace at Belmont.
All the appointments and surroundings were
ON scale OF Oriental magnifcence, and the
spacious grounds lighted with colored lam
terms, from hundreds of gas Jets, at night
presented the appearance Of some fairy
palace. Thither he invited every notable
who visited California, and as we'll as every
one who came to him with letter of intro
duction, or who had the smallest claim
upon his hospitality. Everything about
the palace at Belmont was princely, and
there in prihcely fashion, Ralston enter
tanned all who came, with the same quick
tact in matters social that distinguished
him il his business operations. He was
man of princely tastes, and enjoyed to the
full princely living. But there Was none
of the. brutal coarseness of Fix about
him. His residence was piece Of magni-
fcent display, but in all about it, though
in many thiags forid. there was nothing
actually vulgar. He was a man of some
culture, too, and was always vain of the
society Of literary folk, and no corre.pon-
dent Of q newspaper ever visited California
.ho was permitted to escape Ralston's
fhospitalities, even If her would. In a
business sense. too this Wholesale enter
tanning was an important feature in Ral-
ston's operations. He took; t6 his house
every capitalist who visited California
every prominent politician whose influence
might be worth having; every newspaper
man whose letters might affect public
opinion, and, with the inmmerable sehemes
which the bank had On foot, this yast en-
tertaining was q, vast lobbying, eoniiuur

what PershinS thinks Of the Situa.
tiOD.

From the PottsiVe Inning Jour. Of Saturday
A Journal reporter called on Judge Per.
>hing last evening to ascertain his opinion
of the action of the Erie Convention and of
the prospect ahead for winning the Glber-
Material race. His Honor was affable as
usual, aud seemed pleased with this new
mark OF the respect entertained for him
by his friends, but as the delegates had not
vet returned from Erie, and the usual
Ihrong Of wire-pullcrs and place hunters
had not yet begun TO force Itself upon his
attention, be could scarcely be said to have
vet arrived at realizing sense of the situa-
ton. AS the Associated Press, for some
reason or other, failed to receive ANYTHING
from Erie after the seventh ballot On Thurs
day night, and as the Jud ge's friends in the
convention failed to notify him of his good
fortune, he was wholly ignorant Of the i'm
portant fact that on the eleventh ballot he
had been nominated for Governor of Penn
sylvania, by vote so large that it was i'm
mediately made unanimous, until he was
so Informed BY friend Yesterday morning.
He was qaise surprised. as though he had
no expectation of receiving anything more
than possible complimentary vote. He
said he had not had time yet to consider
the subject fully, but he was not unwilling
to say what he thought about il at present,
though he did not wish to be understood a.
speaking to a final purpose. As to the
platform, the Judge is prepared to accept it
without much reservation. His views On
the financial question are III accordance
with it, and he thinks the doctrine ex-
pressed in its financial plank l. bound to
carry the country eventually. His opinion
with regard to the resumption of specie
payments is the same as that of tire Yiners
Jounat-that at the present time it is i'm
polite, impracticable, and impossible. As
to his course in the campaign the Judge is
not fully decided. He will, however, re-
tain his seat on the bench and let his
friends carry on the campaign. If posi-
Die, he will not take the stump a. sll. but
continue quietly dispensing justice until, if
the people Of Pennsylvania 80 decide, he
drops the judiciary for the executive. As
to the prospects Of the cam paign, be was
disposed to be non-committal, but he eyi-
IDENTIFY hopes for the best-which, as the
people Of Schuylkill county know buttoo
we'll, would be their worst.

James Hunter and Samael Carter an
hrothers-in-law, living about mile apart
and both within short distance Of
Martintown, Mo. Greenbery Lawson,
the iather-in-law, liyes about midway be-
tween the two. For long time bitter
family quarrel has been waged between
the Hunter and Carter families, and Hun
ter has been frequently heard to remark,
that he would cut Carter's heart out the
first favorable opportunity. On Saturday
last Carter vent to the house of his father
in-law TO see his wife's sister. who was
sick. He sat on the edge of the bed and
was converting with her when Hunter
came to the house snl be, =, t. sharpen 4
hatchet Just outside the door. When he
had finished he crept sooftly on tiptoe
through the kitchen to the room in which
Carter and the sick girl were conversing.
He pushed open the door and stepped into
the room with the remark. "Now, Cd
d-n you, I've got you just where l want
yeu," and he made rush at Carter with
his upraised ha:chet, and would have
Drained him on the spot, had not Carter
jumped aside quickly and g.asped a gun
which was standing near the bed, and
raised il to shoot his assailant.
Before he could fire, however, Hunter
was upon him, striking rapidly with tho
hatchet. Carter succeeded in warding of
the blows with the gun, receiving only a
few slight cuts on the arms. Hunter kept
crowding him until he fell backward upon
the bed and across the form of the sick
girl. His situation now was a desperate
one. He knew that if Hunter could get a
fair blow upon his head, it would kill him
instantly. He suddenly threw up his right
arm and drew Hunters head close down 10
his breast, and with his left hand succeeded
in getting from his (Carter's) pocket
which he opened with his
teeth, and, as quick as a flash, cut his as
sailant $ throat from ear to ear, the blood
flowing over the bed and drenching both
Carter and the sick girl to the skin. At
this time LAWSON entered, and, taking in
the situation at a glance, jumped forward
and raised Hunter from the bed. As he
did so the hatchet dropped from the hand
of the would-be-assassin, and he sank to the
door a corpse. Public feeling in the neigh
borhood seems to be in favor of Carter,
who acted purely in self-defense.
