that there is no evidence before any of their

RESTLESS GREASERS.
Another Revolution in Lower
California.
The Reinstatement Of an Unpopular Gov.
ernor, Lately Deposed, the Cause
OF the Outbreak.

San Francisco, Sept. IA San Die
go Press dispatch says: The Secretary
of LaFronta, Lower California, and
Pedro Badillo, who only a few hours
ago escaped to this side of the line by
hard riding, report that the whole from
tier is in state of revolution. A party
of fifty mounted men, armed to the
teeth, rode to Bodillo's ranch, where
the Secretary was staying. An Indian
boy gave the alarm and they barely
escaped with their lives, coming direct
ly to San Diego. The effect of this is
feared as to the Elliott boys, who have
not as yet been delivered across the
line, but were expected to be on their
way about this time. District Attor-
ney Wild was still at San Rafael the
day before yesterday, hoping soon to
start home with the boys.
The cause of this outbreak is assigned
to intelligence lately received in La
Fronta that Villagrana, the expelled
governor of the municipal district, had
obtained recognition from the Supreme
government of the Republic, and had
started from Mazatlan with 200 federal
troops to land on the Lower California
coast and reinstate himself in power.
The uprising is believed to be for the
purpose of organizing resistance, and
Badillo and the Secretary being staunch
adherents of Villagrana, were marked
for immediate seizure, and probably
would have been shot without delay if
captured. Deputy Sheriff Bushyhead
has made up a party and is already
riding to the border to prevent if possi-
BILE any harm to our citizens.

RING REVELATIONS.
Tweed's Tales of New York
- Knaves. -
As Told on Yesterday by the Boss Thief
to a Committee of Aldermen

New York, Sept. 6.-The aldermanic
committee on the investigation of ring
frauds met to-day. VIM. N. Tweed
was present with his counsel and gave
a history of the various Offices held
under the city. He testified that a
ring was formed in the board Of super
visors in 1860 for passing excessive
bills. It consisted Of Roach, Briggs
and himself. In 1868 Henry Smith was
added; in 1865 John Fox and in 1866
James Hayes; in 1869 Isaac J. Oliver
and Andrew ]. Blakely. The last two
did not know all that was going on,
but they got their ''rake-in." In 1870
the board of supervisors was abolished.
The Tweed ring had nothing to do
with the Supervisors ring. The for
mer was under Hoffman's administra-
tion as mayor, and was composed of
witness, John T. Hoffman, Comptroller
Brennan and Street Commissioner
Cornell. They met only for social and
political purposes. Some of these men
went out of Office, and this ring then
became composed Of A. Oakley Hall,
Comptroller Connolly, Street Commits
sIoner Mclean and himself.
The committee adjourned to We'd
nesday next.

called up this morning in the Circuit
Court, Judge Hill presiding, and after
a good deal of argument were continu-

known expedient and device will be re-
sorted to tosecure delay, and, if possible,
wear out the prosecution. The counsel
for the State, however, have their side
of the case fully prepared, and will,
when the trial comes on, present one Of
the most vigorous prosecutions ever
known.

Lebanon Springs

THE Lebanon Springs Railroad,
between Chatham and Lebanon, N.
Y, having been assessed by the various
towns through which it runs from $780,
900 to $50, 600 each, finds the burden Of
taxation so heavy that it is cheaper and
much better to stop running, and SO
the whole road is abandoned. This is
only a sample Of excessive taxation
elsewhere, as, for instance. men
abandon unproductive real estate to be
sold for taxes, rather than undertake to
pay-for what is the usep-and this is
much more general than people can
imagine. High taxation must come to
an end.
