In MorioS.-The result of the Cali
ifornia election has oven excited the
Democrats in Massachusetts. They
held State Convention on Friday last
and nominated a full State ticket. Elk
Gov. VIM. Gaston was nominated fol
Governor. The enthusiasm may be
imagined from the fact that every
hamlet in tho State was represented
and l,9il delegates answered to Their
names. Our friends in the witch
hanging State claim that CASTOR will
be elected. We fear that they are toe
enthusiastic down there.

AaREvERENTIAL "SPREAD. Radical
assemblagcs are always spiced, more OF
less, with something godly. The party
leaders, except the late Secretary Of
War--Belknap, and Grants private
Secretary, Babcock--and score Of
Others, are controlled by grand moral
ideas" Hence the declarations OF
Major Norris, Gov. HartraL.t's private
Secretary, and delegate in the late
Radical State Convention. After Wolf
had delivered himself, and successfully,
too, in pointing out the crooked con,
duct of his party leaders, the Major
declaimed himselfin this wise: "l say
now, before my God, that the fight is
a fight against Hartranit ~ What a

Williamsport, was in any way allied

AMERICANM EATiN ENGLAND.


The London Daily News of April %
says there was unwonted activity in
Columbia Market owing to fbe regular
sale of Yankee meat beginning on that
day. The supply consisted of 1880
pounds of beet. and a'quanity Of NUT
ton. tongues. hams, bacon. pork and
some bntter. The meat which had
been dressed in the United States,
looked perfectly fresh. and its qualities
were put to a practical test by colla-
ton being provided. to which sixty or
seventy persons sat down. The ver-
'diet'of the committee, which was COM
posed of members of Parliament and
other prominent men. was one of
hearty approval. 1t was stated that
the demand exceeded the supply. and
that the nobility of the West End were
eating American beef and did not
know that it was not the best English
heef .t..ae
