 March 13: Carl Schurz and David NJ Key, yesterday respectively assum- ed the duties of the Interior and Post Office departments. both intimating tc the clerks and heads of bureaus thai they intended to make no changes General Grant may be rendered the mission to England. Blame is in favor of having new state elections in Louis jana and South Carolina, i. all parties consent The contest for the Senator ship, to succeed Sherman, Is getting warm. Stanley Matthews and Judge Taft are striving for it. The Nichols Legislature has adopted resolutions approving policy of President Hayes Al city election in Oakland yesterday straight Republicans elected Dr. Par dee as Mayor by 145 over Gen1 Dodge Independents elected councilmen in six wards. Gold Tn New York 10i56 greenbacks in San Francisco 951%@ 96 Yglesias and suite are in New Orleans awaiting advices from Mexico. A peaceful feeling IS setting upon the nation under Hayes. The opponents to Vanderbilrs will have withdrawn their objections.
 March 14:-The Senate has confirm. ed John Jay Knox, as controller of the currency; also Wm. Sherman as asst treasurer at San Francisco, and E. C. White as naval officer at San Francisco Democrats and conservatives of Louis jana and South Carolina are opposed to new GubernatOrial elections, and the President will not encourage the plan, if not agreeable The statute concerning army subsistence does not fully cover the case and an extra session of Congress is probably un- avOidable. Republicans have elected all three Congressmen in New Hamp- shire, ana will have from 50 10 75 maj ority in the house. and 8 to 12 in the Senate, of State Legislature, and claim f or , councillors. Hampton will ut terly refuse to agree to new State cleo ton. Paterson's (Of South Carolina ] plan for new State election is well re- .ceived by Republicans; it is as follows Chamberlain tc be recognized as Gov eruor; legislature to be called. to pass only new registration law. Chamber lain and Hampton each to select two members of the Board of Canvassers, General Ruger to selec. a fifth, and then without Par4des ar. meetings th9'e!eS,Ion' to come of, General Ru ger preserving quiet.

 Thos. Dunbar and other farmers have drained and repaired the lower road through the San Pedro bottom,- a consummation long desired, but the road ought to be macadamized for quarter of 8 mile.
 The report is that a party of men are putting in a crop of corn on the place where Lewis, Johnson and Mowry were killed. It is probably safer now, as a Summer camp has been made by. the military somewhere on the upper San Pedro.

DR. HUBERT of California has ad
 dressed an open letter to the San Fran cisco Board of Supervisors, 10 demon strate that epidemic diseases in gen eral, and smallpox in particular, are not cnutagious-that is to say, that they are transmitted rom man to man, not by coTporeaI and direct emanations, but by infection, or rather by morbif- eroas state of the atmosphere which generates the disease" So, if town authorities will only keep the atmos- phere from a state of morbiferousness, every person in the community can be d0wn with the smallpox, without any danger of the disease spreading.
