iphammatory or sensational talk should
be discouraged. and the efforts of the
highest and smallest be directed to
ward the preservation of peace News
papers are forced to keep up with the
correct news Of the day, to give publ
cation to occurrences precisely as they
are enacted, but the readers should
look with a large degree of allowance
on The news as possibly more or less

SAN FRANcIsco, Jan. 18.-It is cur

Government insists on the prosecution
of Captain Waddell. OF Shenandoah

In the case of the United States against
the Antioch distillery A. M. Crane, a
Government officer. was placed upon the
stand this morning to compare the Gov
eminent books kept at the distillery,
which show the daily shipments, as
checked by the guager. with the abstract
made from the steamer manifests. The
comparison showed discrepancy be-
tween two accounts running from August
1th, 1873, to May Goth, 1874, amounting
to one hundred and eighty pipes of
liquor in favor of the distillery and to
the loss of the Government.
The Board of Supervisors last night
passed q resolution asking the Legisla-

hausted, and some. especially the stree,
fund. is largely overdrawn, with sil
months yet to run. The deficiency bill
hangs fire in the Legislature, and the
| question as to the manner of running
the various departments Of the city gov
eminent is becoming embarrassing. The
resolution of intention of doing consid
cradle amount OF street work was laid
over, awaiting the action of the Legisla
ture on the deficiency bill.
