testimony was similar to that already published.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 30.--The
CaH this morning publishes state
ment temenating from party well in
formed on the subject, to the effect
that in January last a township in
which town and some of the princi-
pal mines of Bodie are located, was
surveyed under authority Of the
Federal Government, when it was
discovered that they were situated
in section 16. By act of the Con-
gress OF March Sd, 1858, the six
teenth and thirty sixth sections in
each township were granted to the
State. Under the laws of Cali
fornia the occupants of such Sec
tions are held to be the preferred
purchasers for six months after
the filing of the plat of survey.

PATERSON, n. J., Dec. 28.-An
explosion occurred this morning at
Rend Rock or Dynamite Works at
Oak Ridge, on Upper Passaic.
Three men were at work In the
mixing house, and it is supposed
that in hurrying up their Saturdays
work they overheated the nitro-gIy-
cerine. Suddenly a terrific explO-
sion took place, completely pulver>
lzing the mixing house, and not only
killing all three of the men but
scattering their remains over hum
dred acres of adjacent ground in
pieces weighing from one ounce ups
wards. The force of the explosion
was literally indescribable, and the
cOncussiOn disturbed the air for
miles around as if by the shock of
an earthquake. The works are the
same as those at which a terrific
explosion took place July l, 1879
at which 'time the operatives were
all at dinner and escaped. This Is
Gne fourth explosion at this mill

CINCINNATI, Dec. 30.-Quite u
disturbance occurred yesterday in
the Lutheran Church at Somerset,
Ohio. Within the past few years
about two-thirds of the congrega-
ton became dissatisfied with the
preacher and withdrew. They have
been wrangling for the possession
of the church building for some
time, and yesterday decided to take
it by storm. Those in posses
sion called the city marshal to their
assistance and elected the intrud-
ers. In the afternoon they again
entered the church and held servi-
ces unmolcstcd. Each party now
threatens to resort TO law.

he has never had any doubt that
the Comptroller's opinion is
wrong; but however this might be,
he insisted that there was no neceso
sity for the committee to 60 behind
the admitted fact that the financial
officer Of the Senate now has the
money. Messrs. Teller and Came
ron expressed similar opinions and
the subject was dropped.
On motion of Mr.. Cameron, a
resolution was then adopted that a
subcommittee of FIVE be appointed
to go to New Orleans, Charleston,
and such other points as it (the sub
committee) may determine, to take
testimony and report to the
full committee. The Chairman
thcrcupon appointed the above
named five members, who were pres
ent, to constitute this sub>commit-
tee. In response to an inquiry OF
Mr.. Bailey, as to when the majority
proposed that the subcommittee
should start, Mr.. Teller said he
would be ready to start in two
hours and Mr.. kirkwood remarked
that he also would be then ready
provided he could pack his shirts
by that time. Messrs. Bailey and
Garland said they had other COM
mittee work, etc., on hand which
would occupy them during the re-
cess, and there were also some mat
ters to which they should give atten-
ton for short time after the as
sembling. They thereforelsug ggested
that the departure of the sub-com-
mittee be deferred until a few days
after Congress meets. Messrs. Tel
Ter argued that the work of investi-
CATION should be promptly begun,
in order to complete it before the 4th
of March. The Democratic Senators
rejoined that they also were desir-
Gus that the investigation should be
prompt and thorough, and that tn y
! finish up their other official work
here before their departure, because
after that time they and the other
members of the committee would
doubtless be occupied all the rest Of
the session by this investigation in
the Southern and Narthern Sta ,es'
ranging from Louisiana, through
Mississippi, South Carolina, Vr,
ginia, Pennsylvania, New York and
Massachusetts, all of which had

We learn from Nashville that Gov.
Marks will recommend to the Legis-
lsture at its coming session to abolish
the offices Of Superintendent OF Pub
lie Instruction, Superintendent of f>the
State Capitol, Superintendent of the
Penitentiary and the Bureau OF I'M
migration and Agriculture. This
looks like he was going to apply the
pruning knife rather indiscriminately.
II he does that, the probability IS that
he will also recommend a reduction oi
Judicial Salaries, and perhaps a reoT-
gAniEation of the Judiciary, with q
view to 8 reduction of the number Ui
Judges. This, however, is mere sur
mise.
