SAN Francisco, Jan. 1.-The Con.
Virginia dividend for January was
passed to-day. The Trustees vouch-
safe no statement rs to the causes or
future probabilities.
THE BREAK IN JUSTICE.
The break in Justice, Exchequer
and Bullion began this morning ard
continued till after the Board, and at
the informal session this afternoon
Justice sold as low as $12. The bear
attack ON the Shultz & Van Bargen
stronghold came suddenly. Though
there we're a hundred rumOrs on the
street OF their failure, these reports
are peremptorily denied by shultz
himself and Others. There are many
theories of the cause of the break, but
the one most commonly asserted Is
that Lucky Baldwin. who some time
ago stood in the breach when Shultz
was threatened by Alvinza Hayward,
has now called on Shultz for coin.
Not being able to respond, Shultz
was compelled to throw a block or
two of his stock on the market.
STORM SIGNS.
There was a rumor throughout town
to-day that the signal service station
had received a telegram from Wash
ington to the effect that the Pacific
coast would be visited by terrific
storm within the next three days
The rumor proves to be false. The
observer here received no telegram
whatever from Washington. How
ever there are some indications of
weather changes. The atmospheric
pressure is heavier than it has been
for years. The barometer to-day was
80 AZ, the highest since 1878. Aheavy
storm seward would likely cause a
high barometer on the edge of the
storm track. Reports from San Die
90, Salt Lake aud Portland show a
high barometer at each of these sig
nal stations,

SAN JOSE, Jan. A The Board of
Supervisors to-day extended an invi-
tation to the Trustees of Lick trust to
| io;n them in an excursion over Lick
Avenue to the site os the proposed
observatory ON Mount Hamilton, on
the 9th instant. The road will be
fully completed by that time.

told to busy himself just then by dis

He obeeyed the order, and went for
the extra number, but this was too
much for the depot men, and the

Mr.. CRoNIN, the Oregon Demo-
cratic Elector, testified before the
Senate investigating committee on
Wednesday. His testimony is of
more than common interest. He evil
IDENTIFY tells the truth-perhaps in a
moment of abstraction, or under the
inspiration Of transitory outb"rst
of honesty, for we must remember
that Mr.. Cronin Is a Democrat. His
revelations are somewhat appalling.
They como even as Chinese stink
pot falling in the midst Of an invsd-
ing column, and the party are dis
mayed. They hold their noses in
CONSERVATION, and their tongues as
we'll. Mr.. Cronin told exactly what
the Republicans had suspected all
along-that portion of that bari
of money found its way into Oregon
and bore fruit rs illegitimate as was
its use. Twenty-Five thousand dol
lars, Mr.. Cronin says, was sent into
the web-fOot State to he used where
it would do the most good. He
himself got $4,000 of it, "stensibly to
meet the cost of going to Washington
and back. When it is remembered
that Congress defrays the expenses Of
electoral messengers it must appear
that Mr.. Cronin felt that he was
irregular and would be ignored, los
ing thereby his mileage, or that the
money which he received from the
party was not in consideration of ex-
penses but as pay Tor services to be
performed in behalf of Tilden. How
ever this may be, tits clear that there
was corrupt use of money in Ore
gon, and this exposure of it is the
worst blow that the Democrats have
received in the campaign or since.

THE REPUBLICAN VIEW.

A prominent Republican official who
stands high in the estimation and con-
fidence of the Republicans of this sec
ton, writes to us from New Orleans,
under date of yesterday, as follows:
We are perfectly safe in saying that Hayes
and Wheeler are to be our President and
Vice President Louisiana will present
stronger case before the Electoral Commits
sion at Washington than Florida. Our Re
turning Board has both ministerial and Jul
dicial powers, therefore can not be questioned
nv the Commission South Carolina, as you
know, is settled, and in Oregon we are safe
from the fact that the Governor had no right
as an executive officer to pass upon the ques-
ton of eligibility of an elector The returns
are in our favor-the Hayes electors recelV-
ing an indisputed majority.
This brief expression Of individual
opinion may be justly characterized
as the Republican view Of the situa-
ton and its most probable outcome.
The force of its logic can not be gain
said, aud regarded in connection with
the preliminary action of the E lectoral
Commission in the Florida case, the
conclusion that Hayes and Wheeler
! will be inaugurated as next President
and Vice President seems not only
reasonable, but almost as certain as
apv human forecaste of future events
can be.

THE JETTIES.-On the Bird instant,
Mr.. James Andrews, superintendent
of the work ON the jetties at the mouth
of the Mississippi, telegraphed to New

THE PARISH TAX LIMIT.

Ills Supreme Court recently rendered
, decision in case on appeal from
the parish of st. Charles, in which 1t
Is SET down as law that no Police jury
can impose a greater tax than tour
mills on the dollar, without the APP
votes of majority of the peo-
ple. This opinion processes to be IN
harmony with the statutory provision
limiting parish taxes to one hundred
ner centum of the State tax, Judge
Manning coutending that by State tax
is meant only the four mill or general
fund tax levied for the purpose of de-
fraving the expenses of the executive,
legislative and judicial departments
of the government. The school, levee
and interest taxes are not, In Judge
Manning's opinion, included under
the caption of State tax as used in the
statute, being in the nature OF special
levies for specific purposes, each with
its separate caption designated by
law.
This question has been raised be-
fore, and Judge Beattie of the FIT
teenth Judicial District once rendered
| q decision similar in effect to that OF
Judge Manning's; but the weight of
legal opinion is unquestionably OPP
posed to the Interpretation of these
iurists. and we believe it can not be
reasonably doubted that the intent OF
the law-whatever its ambiguity OF
expression-is that the parish tax
sbould not exceed fourteen and one
half mills, the rate actually assessed
and collected by the State authorities

only such as could be construed to
