Together with these they received their

which we mentioned some time ago they

stock scales. The patent combination
beam dispenses with the use Of weights,
the weighing being dsue exclusively
by poises. thus the trouble frequently
occasioned by the loss or displacement,
of weights Is obviated. Besides this.
the scales possess the advantage Of
being remarkably correct. Last even

ANOTHER CAsE.-Yesterdav Uxto

ANOTHER CAsE.-Yesterday Doctor
Weed Was called to see boy, aged Il
years. 4 son Of Mr.. Davis. residing on
Fourth street, and found him suffering
from an attack of smallpox. As to
how he contracted tie disease is only q
matter of conjecture That be did not
take 1t, however. from the two recent
cases here Is certain from the fact that
the Incubation. the period between ex-
posure TO the contagion and the begin
ming of the attack, is not more than
twelve days aid from the time of the
first symptoms Until the eruption has
fully appeared is not more than three
days. according to DR.. Hartshorne in
his treaties on zymotic diseases, than
whom we have no better authority.
While on the other hand the
last of the two recent smallpox pa
tients here was discharged on the 5th
inst. and all their infected clothes, etc
were destroyed before that time. The
boy evidently caught the disease from
the baggage or person Of some stranger,
perhaps am' ng the shipping, or from
sou,e immigrants who arrived here on
the San Francisco steamer, At which
place the disease is still raging. This.
however. is only a matter Of mere con-
lecture. In this Case. as in others here
toiore. every precau,ion will be taken
against the spread of the disease, and
there is no cause for any alarm on the
part Of the public

EXCITEMENT IN THE SENATE OVER TUE BUTLER
Casa LAUGH AT THE EXPENSE OF sESA-
TOR DAyIS-SPEECHES OF PATTERSON AND
OTHERS. .atH#
From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, November 26.-Thc Senate
chamber has been dramatic place to-day.
Old habitues say that so exciting day has
not been witnessed there since the war.
The public notification that strong effort
would be made to seat Senator-elect Butler
to-day packed the galleries at an early hour,
and when the Senate was called to order
there was hardly standing-room either in
the galleries or on the floor. The crowd
had come prepared for an exciting day, and
they were not disappointed. For. five hours
they were treated to the death,-struggles OF
a great party striving desperately to retain
vet little longer its supremacy in the
Senate. The opening shot was fired by
Wadleigh, chairman @oi the Senate Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections. Early
in the morning hour he snnounced that his
committee were ready to report oa the Kel-
logg-Spofford case, and for the majority
!
presented resolution reciting that Kellogg
was entitled to his seat and Spofford was
not. A dozen objections were offered on
the instant, and 1t went over under the
rules until tomorrow. Then Merr1mon,
for the minority, submitted report in favor
of spofford, and this was ordered to be
printed with the majority report.
THE REAL FIGHT
began with the expiration OF the morning
hour at l o'clock. Thurman's resolution
to discharge the Elections Committee from
further consideration Of the Butler-Corbir
case was called up as the unfinished busi
ness. There was q craning of necks n
