SAYS the San Francisco Call: Some
time ago secret order was established
in this city under the name of the
United Brothers. Its object was two
fold--to discourage coolieisps aud TO
help the members when sick or in
distress. The constitution and bylaws
were unobjeciionable. Members pledged
themselves to vote for no man who
would not favor the abrogation Of the
Burlingame treaty, and they also re.
solved to eschew politics and religion
in their deliberations. The present
campaign, however. has proved too
much for them AT meeting last
night the members rose superior to
heir constitution. The flag Of men,
trality was hanled down. and that Of
Tilden and Hendricks hung up instead.

THE ASSESSMENT RofL.-Tbe Assess
rnent roll for this year, which is now
being made up, Will. We are Informed,
show considerable falling off from
last year in the number and value of
cattle and sheep in the county. Other
property. including the railroad assess
ment. will show an increase which
will probably bring the valuation up to
that of last year. This. considering
the unprecedented dull times caused
to great extent by the discount on
bullion, and the consequent depression
could reasonably be expected.

SACRAMENTO. Dec. 10. = To-day
Secretary of State Beck received all
the papers ia the first step taken by
Wigginton to contest the claim Of
Pacheco as Congressman from the
4th district. These papers are affi-
davits by Blankenship and Gordon,
two of the supervisors of Monterey
county, setting out that the super
visors canvassed the vote, and esti
mated and declared the vote of
Wigginton; it was 9SS, while the
clerk certified it to the Secretary of
State at 9S6. Based on these affida-
Wits is a petition of Wigginton,
wherein he prays the 18th Distric t
Court of San Francisco to direct the
clerk to certify the returns up to
the Secretary of State as counted by
the supervisors, showing the vote
to be 9SS. Next is a writ of man
date as issued by Judge Dangerield
Dec. Sth, and directed to the clerk
on the 9th. The clerk obeyed the
writ and sent up returns as tabu-
lated and totals as declared by the
supervisors, and Herewith copies of
all the papers in the e. The Sec
retary says he must count the vote
now according to these latter re-
turns, but that he will not count it
for some days, in order to give Pa
chero time to take any legal steps
he may wish.
Ex-Governor Pacheco intends con-
testing the election in the fourth
Congressional district without de-
lay. A writ will be applied for to
restrain Secretary of State Beck
from issuing a certificate of election
to Wigginton, to revise returns
from Monterey county, and also a
writ of prohibition to stop all pro-
ceedings in the matter until the 18th
inst, when a mandamus issued by
Judge Dangerfield, of the twelfth
district court, in which Markley,
clerk of Monterey county, changed
returns, will come up for hearing.
