OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

As between Mr.. Pacheco, who is a motor
ious Dolly Warden, and Wiggington, who is
an equally notorious ass of the Democratic
incurable sort, the MORNING APPEAL has no
choice. They are both now in Washington
throwing mud at one another. Here is what
the telegraphsays ofthe unimportant situation;
Clerk Adams to-day placed the name of
Pacheco on the roll of the house as holder of
the governments certificate, and therefore
prima facie entitled to q seat as a member
from the Fourth District of California. Lut-
trell, in the Democratic caucus tonight, gave
notice that he would, nevertheless, on Mon
day offer resolution to swear in and seat
Wiggington instead of Pacheco. The ground
for this proposed action-or if it fails for
Wiggington to contest in the usual manner
is that he has obtained afidavits of two of the
three canvassers of election in San Lorenzo
precinct that he actually received 20 votes,
and also the sworn admission of the county
clerk that the vote was 20 and that it was
changed to o. Wiggington also says he has
obtained testimony conclusively showing that
at least 50 votes for Pacheco were illegally
cast. Pacheco, on the other hand, claims to
be able to prove that still greater number of
Wiggington's votes should be thrown out as
illegal. Owing to the above mentioned action
of the clerk of the house, Luttrell was the
only Pacific coast member allowed to vote in
to-nights caucus. He voted for Randall.

HOW HARRY MEIGGs GOT AWAY.

! AS everybody knows, when Harry Meiggs
left San Francisco he did so as fugitive from
justice. He had forged papers to the amount
! of $780, ZOO. The manner of his Ascending
is described as follows by the Bulletin: ga
few days before Meiggs' departure he had
purchased for $40 900 the 29O-ton bark Amer
lea She was at once fitted up in elgant style,
with every comfort one could wish, and was
supplied with food for a long voyage. He
had told his friends that two very rich gam
blers were going on q cruise in the South Pa
cifc. Three days after she had been pur-
chased she was cleared for Ports in the Paci-
ic.' On Friday Meiggs and his family drove
away from their house saying that they were
going to San Mateo, but their route took them
to Missouri Point off which the America lay,
and to it they were quickly transported in
small boat The commander of the America
was Capt. Cozzens During the night the
