Emma Mine scandar.

Il i 81 . y q - il
New YORK, March 10th. British
Vice Chancellor Malins, in a recent
decision at London, ordered the petit
tion for the winding up of the Emma
Mining Company's affairs to stand
over till full meeting of the share
holders, could be held. The Vice
Chancellor does not doubt that the
concern was originated in fraud, and
says expressly that the shareholders
have been cheated; that the mine is
not worth the working, and it is his
opinion that a compulsory winding up
is best; that if anything could be got
out of the original offenders by suit
in the United States, an. official liqui-
dation commission, appointed by a
British court, can conduct the suit
better than anybody else. Glass,
counsel for q, 900 shares, however, in
sists that there is some hope of getting
something from the mine. His san
guine clients desire to supplant the
present Directors with new ones and
go on. Glass insists that the company
has no debts and is getting out $40, 900
in silver monthly, which pays their
expenses. The 7ribupe's London cor
respondent says various things show
that there are parties in England as
well as America interested in sup
pressing inquiry into the history of the
company. ns

have been issued for the arrest OF
James Van Week, late clerk of the
Sixth Auditors office, and F.. l..
Channel, clerk In the Contract Office,
who were implicated in the late pos.
tai fraud recently discovered. Van
Week was yesterday removed by order
of the Secretay of the Treasury. the
order for Channels removal has not
yet been issued by the Post Office De-
partment. Colt ard Floyd, who con-
fessed participating in the frauds, are
held as, witnesses against these per-
sons, WHO persist in denying their
guilt. The warrants for the arrest of
Van Week and Channel are based on
affidavits of Special Officer Howard,
charging them with conspiracy, brib-
cry, and accepting bribes. The pencil
ty prescribed is fine and imprisOn-
ment not exceeding three years.

PROBABLY the worst prosecuted set
of men in the world at this present
time are the twelve unfortunates who
were impanneled as jury in the
BEECHER-TILToN trial. The case is
now running on its fifteenth week,
and still the beginning Of the end has
not come. Pool, mortals! Their
brains have been racked and pum-
meled and turned upside down and
shaken. and wrung with this dirty
clothes business, until they will
doubtless leave the jury-box moral
wrecks. And, in the face of all this
persecution, the Board of Supervisors

Presidential Candidates.

The Hon. f.. b. Washburne, American Min
lister at Paris is reported to have withdrawn
from the Presidential canvass. On its face,
this looks likeaa continuation OF the some
what prevalent belief that President Grant
intends himself to be a candidate. 1t was
generally understood that Washburne would
be candida 70 only in the event of the Presl-
dents retiring. and then as the Presidents
natural SUCCESSOR. If Grant did not aspire TO
succeed hims II, he would name Washburne
as proper man for the position. The dis
patch gives no intimation of the influences
which have brought Washburne 20 this con-
dition of mind, but probably the private cor
respondence between the President and the
Minister would make everything sufncientlv
plain. Whether or not the President seri-
ously thinks of at third torn, there are many
little things Which INDICATE that he does. Not
the least significant offhese is the bitter at
tack of the Washington Chronicle on the
Philadelphfa politicians who placed Blaine
In noinination. Now comes the dcclination
of Washburne, who would not refuse the
presidency, If il was within his rach.--S. H..
Call. = ~
That General GRANT will be can
didate for the next Presidency, there is
hardly asdoubt; and that he will be
overwhelmingly defeated at the polls,
there is as little doubt. But major
ity of two-thrds of the popular vote
may not prevent him from being the
next President. The cards are stocked
the political deck is well arranged,
and he has the shuttle, cut and deal,
and will turn up jack when he pleases.
There is no use squirting at this thing
any longer; it is as well to look the
situation square in the face at once.
Gen. GRANT knows he cannot be
elected. by the popular vote; and,
knowing this, il he intended to obtain
the office only. on fair terms, he would
not run. If he does run, these facts
ought to convince every sensible
American that he intends to hold the
office on some terms. If he can get
up row with Mexico or some other
nation, so as to get the army well in
hand, he can very easy hold the posi-
tion in spite of all the votes that may
be cast against him. Even little
disturbance in the South would be
sufficient to put tlie army in good
trim for the work. tuidnse r

The Worst Form Of Tyranny. /.

One would suppose that unavoidable
affections incident to this life ought
TO be sufficient to crafty the tyran-
.rlical principles of our nature, which
delights in human suffering; but such
is not the case. Inera is a large per-
centage of our race tyrants by nature,
who are happy only just in proportion
as they can make Others miserable;
and the misery they infiict is only
limited by the, extent of their power.
If clothed with official authority, they
delight to make you feel its power. If
rolling in wealth, they are austere,
cold and distant, and will on all occa-
sions, make you feel what a miserable
wretcha poor man is. If their posi-
ton is no higher than a stage-driver
or hotel-clerk, they will make you
feel extremely Uncomfortable in their
presence Their looks and answers
viii awe you into submission before
you are aware of it, and you leave
them with an impression that you
have committed some indiscretion
that requires an apology. But tyrants
do not all occupy positions in life, a
circumstance for which mankind
should never cease to return thanks.
But they are tyrants all the same, and
when bereft of all other means of tor
ture, they fall back upon their last
resource, which is their LOOKS. AT,
first thought this would appear to be
comparatively harmless means of
torturing mankind. I" What do we
care how people look! that can do us
no harm,'' is the hasty conclusion of
the thoughtless. But when we come
to consider it in all its bearings, we
find it to he a means of torture by
which the human family are caused
more suffering than from all other
modes of torture ever invented. There
are great variety of looks which are
painful to behold; such as sad look,
injured look, angry look, sulky look
and devilish look, all of which are the
result of disappointed ambition. And
when you see one of these horrible
features, you may rest assured that you
are looking upon o man or a woman
who, IL in possession of power, would be
extremely tyrannical. 1t makes the
cold chills run over us to meet one of
these despots in the streets, and we
often cross the street to avoid facing
them; and TO converse a half-hour with
one of them is no less painful than
dumb chill and the effect will
last for hours. And to be compelled
to live in the same house with one is
perhaps the most painful existenceon
earth except 1t be in the State prison or
lunatic Asalum. The gloam that one

Panama n. II. co, and Pacific Mail.

New YORK, April 1O.-A meeting
of the joint committees Of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company and the
Panama Railroad Company was held
this afternoon at their offices on Wall
street, for the purpose of adjusting
points raised between the companies
on the question of through freight.
The Pacific Mail Company submitted
plan to the Panama Company which
the latter will lay before its Directors
and report the result at future meet
ing.
Scott, Vice-President of the Pacific
Mail Company, said to-day that he
had examined the accounts of the
China agent, but had not found the
alleged discrepancies in them. He
said that the mistake was in the ac-
counts of the agency between Yoko-
hama and Hongkong, had occurred
after the China agent had left for this
city, where he arrived yesterday.

sulky or sad counteiiance can cast
over a whole family is the severest
affliction that we can imriagine and
ought to be considered sufficient
cause for divorce. Only think of rails
ing family Of childrennnder the dis
NAL shadow of such countenan ce;
what could we expect them to be but
rogues and cut throats. In our exten-
sive acquaintance, we, know several
husbands and wives who are torturing
each other to death with their looks;
it may be slow in its results but it is
none the less sure. There are several
gentlemen in this city whose counte-
nance will cast shadow over the
whole street, and they seem to take
extreme delight in presenting their
miserable phis at you on all occasions.
We take the ground that people have
no right to tyranize over the world in
any such way. We have never been
IN favor Of much law making, But if
some means could be invented to put
stop to this species of tyrany, the
inventor would be ranked, among
the greatest benefactors Of mankind.
1t cannot be cured by resistance for
the more you resist sulky, or injur-
ed look, the worse it gets, and to coax
it is only yielding in humiliation to
it; and though coaxing might palliate
it for an hour, it will come at you with
renewed vigor when it rises again. 1t

tions and thus far. there has been no
remedy found for it but death. m

An Appeal for Help.

One hundred miles South of Mem
phis, Tennessee, is the town Of Gren-
ada, in Mississippi, in which is the
finest institution of learning South OF
Georgia. 1t is accessible by rail from
every part of the country. The war
caught the Institute with a small debt
which interest. and repairs have
swelled to $4,000. The impoverished
community can barely defray current
expenses, and are utterly unable to
reduce the debt. Yet it is their only
hopes for an institution in which to
educate eiryoung ladies preparatory
to becoming teachers, there being no
public schools of a high order in the
country. The people of the whole
South are struggling to rise once more
to prosperity, but they need help.
They look to California as a more for
tunate sister for aid in an enterprise
which can hardly be over-estimated.
And unless aid is speedily given it is
liable to be sold and go into the hands
ofspeculators, thus to pass forever from
the hands of the friends of education
and progress. Mrs. HALCoMB is the
accredited agent of the institution, and
is now in our city. She brings with
her letters from men of all political
parties and all religious donomina-
tions. She has one from U. s. GRANT,
one from Mayor JAS. OTIs, San Fran
cisco, from b. GRATz BROWN, Mis-
souri,, J. P. JONES, Nevada, and each

of st. Louis; HoRATIo STEBBINs, w.

countries have been heavily taxed to

have done but little. Let us respond
literally to this call. Mrs. H. will

jury Report ON the late Explssien.

SAN, FRANCISCO, April 13th.-The
Coroner's Jury in the case of the late
explosion, Mayor Otis, the reporters
and number of gentlemen, yester-
day witnessed the experiments with
giant powder near Goldon Gate Park.
The exp timents showed that that
compound may he safely handled, be-
ing liable to explode only by the
agency of detoniating caps used for
the purpose. The jury completed its
work by rendering a verdict in which
they severely censure Mr.. Risdon, the
contractor, for permitting the manu-
facture of cartridges In such a neigh
borhood as that where the explosion
took place, and for storing powder and
caps on the same premises. 1t also
recommended the passage of an ordi-
nance by the Board of Supervisors for
bidding the storage Of dynamits in the
city limits in quantities of over fifty
pounds, or the storage of decorating
caps or common powder on the same
premises, and prohibiting the trans
portation Of nitro glycerine, through
the streets Of the city.
