How IL was Done.

SAN FRANCISCO, May thin the
matter of the expose of the ROsener
administration of the Assessors office,
Edward Martin, of the Hibernia Bank,
testified that ne mad business at the
Assessors office in 1878, and was asked
by Rosener if he was not going to see
him. Martin caught his meaning,
and said he supposed he would have
to, and gave card to ROsener with
his initials on it, stating he would
honor it for $500. The card was pre-
sented at the Hibernia Bank some
time after by strange man, and
check for the money payable to the
bearer. Martin said there was no
agreement as to what he gave the
money for. 1t was not understood
that it was election expenses. When
directly asked what he gave the money
for, he said: 81 paid the $500 just as
you give up your purse to highway
man." He admitted, however, that
he gave the money to be in Roseners
good graces.

A stage ss0bber Convicted.

MARYsvsLLE, May 6.-Judge Bliss
to-day sentenced Austin N. Smith, the
stage robber, to Is years imprisonment
at San Quentin. Smith is about 25
years of age and was reared in this
place. He entertained particular
spite against Marshal Casad, who ar
rested him, and under no considera-
tion would he tell where the treasure
was buried until assured that no part
of it should go to Casad. This was
arranged by the consent of Casad, who
voluntarily surrendered his claim to a
share of the treasure in order to secure
the punishment of Smith. The mat
ter was arranged by giving him 81 300
-one-fourth of the treasure recovered,
which is part of the reward offered by
Wells. Fargo & Co., to the prisoner, to
be kept in trust by his attorney, w.
G. Murphy. Smith then informed the
detective where the treasure was
buried.

enough for their goods and in order to
prevent them from being damaged by

Forgiveness OF Injuries.

An editor of an obscure paper, pub
lished in little village in Missouri,
called mt the White House and was adj
mitted to Mr.. Lincoln's presence. He
at once commenced stating to Mr.. Lin
coin that he was the man who first sug-
gested his name for the Presidency, and
pulling from his pocket an old, worn,
defaced copy of his paper, exhibited to
the President an item on the subject.
Do you really think" said Mr. Lin
coin, that announcement was the oc-
casion of my nomination l"
g Certainly" said the editor, 4" the sug-
gestion was so opportune that it was at
once taken up by other papers, and the
result WIS your nomination and election.
''Ah we'll, said Mr.. Lincoln, with
sigh, and assuming rather gloomy
countenance, =" am glad to see You and
to know this, but you will have to excuse
me | am just going to the War Depart
ment to see Secretary Stanton"
We'll, said the editor, 90 will walk
over with YOU"
The President, with that apt good M
true SO characteristic of him, took up his
hat and said
"Come along"
When they reached the door of the
Secretary's Office Mr.. Lincoln turned to
his companion and said !:
" shall have to see Mr.. Stanton
alone, and you must excuse me-" and,
taking him by the hand, he continued
" Good-by. L hope you feel perfectly
easy about having nominated me. Don't
be troubled about it, l forgive you"-
