Chavis Heard From.

SAN LUIS OBIsPo, February 16th.-
Chavis, the lieutenant of Vasquez, is
known to have been in the northern
part of this county a few days since.
He was in company with seven or
eight half-breeds. The whole party
were armed with revolvers, but carried
no guns. In the early part of Novem-
ber an attempt was made to capture
Chavis in the same locality, but he
succeeded in evading the officers and
has been lurking in the same locality
most of the time since. Some uneasi-
ness is felt by those acquainted with
his movements. Grave apprehensions
exist as to his future intentions.

Our Very Particular Friend.

Some months ago Senator STEWART
made his appearance in this city as
one of the owners of the Panamint
mines and the protector of a railroad
inimical to the Southern Pacific Rail-
road Company. The HERALD greeted
him with caustic article, in which
the people were warned that he was
the industrious friend, if not the paid
agent, of the Central and Southern
Pacific Railroad Companies, and that
in all railroad matters he would be
found working i'm their interests. For
making this plain statement of facts
we were denounced and accused of
driving away man who had come
among us forthe purpose Of advancing
our interests. Well, the Senator went
out to Panamint and talked mines for
some time. Congress convened; still
the Senator talked mines at Pana-
mint, and the people began to think
that he had become so engrossed in
mines that he would let the last end
of his Senatorial career go by default.
A great mistake. The Texas Pacific
subsidy proposition came up; the
Southern Pacific wanted some OF the
pie, and being refused, they determin-
ed that no one should have any. Sem
ator STEWART was suddenly called to
Washington, and we next hear him
mentioned as the chief opponent of
the Texas Pacific bill. But of course
he is the friend of Los Angeles and
the Central Pacific people have no
control over him! 1t would be all
wrong to suppose that they sent him
to Washington to defeat SCoTT's bill.
This is what the Cal has to say about

ties.

CHICAGO, February 15th.-A Wash
ington special says Senators generally
admit there is no little doubt that an
extra session will be called to consider
the Hawaiian treaty. Twenty-three
new Senators will then be sworn in,
and it is said one of the political pur-
poses of an extra session is to compel
Cameron, of Wisconsin; Christiancy,
of Michigan, and other so-called Inde-
pendent Senators to define their po-
litical status. The dispatch says: ''If
they shall choose to act with Sprague,
Fenton and Schurz, who are them
selves independent, but don't attend
the Republican caucus, they will be
likely to be assigned very different po-
sitions on committees than they will
be in case they classify themselves as
Republicans on the Philadelphia plat
form.n

The Beecher Trial.

New YORK, February 15th.-In the
Beecher case to-day the cross-exami-
nation of Tilton was continued. He
was asked if he said if Beecher re-
signed he would shoot him on the
street. Witness replied that he did
not, but said if he published letter
of resignation rejecting on his Till
ton's) family, he would shoot him on
the street, and he most assuredly
would have done so. With regard to
Mrs. Tilton's letter of December, 1872,
witness testified that he didn't write
the letter nor draft it. 1t was written
by Mrs. Tilton, after consultation with
witness as to the phraseology of a
part of it.

The Cape Coolers I'm Danger.

BOSTON, February 15th.-A large
number of fishing vessels are caught
in the ice near Provincetown, Cape
Cod. Some of the crews have reached
shore. There are a dozen vessels
whose crews are out of provisions and
fuel and unless succor reaches them
they must soon perish. Some are ten
or twelve miles from shore, with
piled-up ice, air-holes and stretches of
water between them and the shore,
rendering escape impossible, and un-
less the weather moderates disastrous
results must ensue.

The Railroad.

The interest in behalf OF the Los
Angeles and Independence Road is
increasing in San. Bernardino county
We should have been sadly disap-
pointed if it had been otherwise. The
business men in that county are too
wide awake to permit their interests
to suffer for want of attention. Our
Railroad Committee ought to visit
that county in body and talk over
matters with them. That they will
show commendable liberality in for
warding this enterprise, we have no
doubt.

WASHINGTON February 18th. Hon.
Samuel Hooper, M. G., from the Fourth
District, died in this city this morning
of pneumonia, aged AZ years. He has
been a member of Congress continu-
ously for fourteen years, and was a
Republican in politics. His large for
tune, amounting to four or five million
dollars, was accumulated in the China
trade. The mortality among Massa-
chusetts Representatives recently has
been remarkable. Mr.. Whiting, Chas.
Sumner, Crocker and Hooper have
died within the last two years.

Attemps TO Rob n stage-The Driver
ShOr.

SHASTA, February 16.-An attempt
was made to rob the Shasta and Read
ing stage about o'clock this evening.
Three robbers sprang from the brush
two miles South of this place and or
dered the driver, Jerry Culverhouse,
to stop. He refused, when one of the
robbers fired at him with a shotgun,
the shot taking effect in the face, mu-
tilating it badly. One of the passen-
gers took charge of the team and re-
turned to Shasta with the wounded
driver and the passengers and treasure.
Immense excitement prevails here.
Several parties have started in pursuit
of the robbers.

Altogether, 1926 acres were sold,
amounting to $39,54O, and giving an
average of $50 so per acre. The three
days sales aggregate $40 acres, giving
return of $l16,540, or $50 80 per acre
average. BY the time the last lot was
bid off the sun was getting low in the
heavens and casting long shadows
over the bright green sward of the
Centinela valley, and as some of
the multitude were looking at their
watches and thinking of home, it was
concluded to adjourn the sale till 7
o'clock P. NJ, at the office of Jones &
Bland, auctioneers, Spring street. AS
our report closes there is large
crowd around the door, and Mr.. Houy-
ton, in his blandest tones, is calling
off lots to spirited bidding-we hear
as high as $50 bid, which sounds well.
The remaining portions of the lands,
and there are some very fine lots, will
be sold in town at the same place, at

The latest telegram from Washington leaves
little doubt of the peacefnl demise of Scott's
Texas Pacific Railroad bill. Senator Stewart
reports thirty-f1ve Senators opposed to it, and
under the circumstances is disinclined to re-
port the bill from the committee. There has
always been reason to doubt if the bill was in
friendlyshands. Mr. Stewart is II member of
the Senate of the United States, but there are
abundant grounds for the impression that his
relations with the Central Pacific Railroad
Company are of very confidential nature.
AS the Central Pacific Company is'opposed to
Mr.. Scotts project, Mr.. Stewart could hardly
do less than to take the bill gently by the
throat at the proper moment.

From llarpOr'S BaEarl
Seal remains the fashionable fur for
sacques, and Is also much used for incx-
pensive sets, consisting Of mulr and boa.
Seal sucQues differ from those Of last
season in being more shaped to the figure
and in having from two TO four inches ad.
ditional length. A stylish sacque Is from
twenty.eight to thitty.one inches long.
The neck is finished with full tevers
collar. The sleeves are quite large, and
some models are wide enough to allow a
cuff Of the fur beneath. Plain seal SacqueS
are still worn, but those trimmed with
otter iurs arc most fashionable; hence
ladies who have short plain sacques left
over from previous seasons are having
them heightened by adding thrce-inch
band Of some other fur as trimming.
A sealskin boa that Is to be worn with a
seal sncuue should be only n yard and a
half long; but II II is to be worn aa part
Of a set, Il should he two yards long. Seal
mnirs are Of medium sile, like those Of
last winter, and are trimmed with ribbon
bows that are embroidered; others have
tassel,, and some arc perfectly plain.
Among the most desirable wraps are
those lined with iurs while the outside Is
very heavy repped black silk or else Sic
iliennc. The shape mostly worn IL the
plain circular, from iorty.siS to ifty-four
inches deep, and forming perfect semi.
circle. They are made Of silk Of extra
width, manufactured for the purpose.
Notwithstanding all changes Of fashion,
the crown Russian sable remains the
choicest fur; II Is as high in price as ever,
and becomes more difficult to obtain
yearly.
Perhaps the most dressy Of all the fan
cy furs introduced lately Is the silver.iox
"a light blue gray fur, interspersed with
those "silver points" or white tips that
are now thought to add 80 much to the
! beauty Of the fur.

This is the first intimation Of resemb-

The Democrat reminds US that the First

Third District can, thereby intimating
willingness in that section to cooperate
with the Radical party, This does not

Representatives OF the First District
have already shown readiness TO strike

rage the Democracy Of this section, and
what they did last winter ws4lo not doubt
their disposition to do again, should the
proper inducements appear.
The talk of the Democrat that the
Courier would prescribe faithful repre-
sentatiyes for doing the bidding Of their
constituents Is the merest bOsh, No man
OF intelligence in the Democratic neigh
borhood, believes the people OF that
country wanted the Capital at Wheeling,
and no representative who voted to put
it there can plead tho will Of his people
in extenuation Of his partnership with
the Radical party in doing 80.
