SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 5.-The
Legislative Committee of Investi.
CATION into the agitation, after
hearing some other immaterlal ev-
idsnce yesterday, adjourned till
Saturday, the 10Th instant.
A number of labor meetings were
held last evening. The proceed
ings were generally devoid of spe.
cial interest. The shoemakers
held meeting at which a report
was submitted to be presented to
the Legislature showing the state
of trade as affected by Chinese
competition. 1t shows that there
are, in round numbers, 1900 white
shoemakers in the city, of whom
500 are at present out of employ
nent. There are 5000 Chinese
employed in the trade, but wheth-
or any considerable portion of them
are now Idle the report does not
state. 1t was decided to procure a
blackb0ok which would be exhib.
tied every Sunday at the sand lot
meetings, giving the names of
firms employing Chinese. One
member stated that he had ascer-
tanned that muskets could be procur-
ed from the Government Arsenal at
two dollars and a half piece, and
the meeting then went into execu-
tive session on the gun question.
The rain has ceased and the wind
has hauled to the Northwest. Sky

Overflow OF the sacramento Hiver.
SACRAMENTO, Feb. 5.-The levee
broke mile and half below the
city this morning, and the whole
country for twenty miles below the
city end back to the high land will
probably be flooded. Alarm bells
were struck when the news was re.
ceived, and great CONSERVATION
prevailed for while, but soon sub.
sided. Gangs of men are at work
closing gaps In the r. street levee
to keep the water out of the city.
No damage IL likely to occur ex-
cept, perhaps, by the backing up OF
water In the lower part of the city
before the gaps can be filled.

have prevailed among the audience.
He has SO entirely controlled his
audience that all noisy manifestations
of religious feeling have been entirely
suppressed; and at the same time no
one who has sat in these meetings can
have failed to see that Mr.. Moody S
manner of presenting his subject is
to an extraordinary degree effective
in moving the hearts of his hearers,
in stirring devotional feelings, in pre-
ducins a profound impression upon
them of the Importance of the mes
sage he has to deliver.
Nor is this all. Not the least re-
markable evidence Of the real and
/ profound interest excited by Mr.
Moody's oxhortations is seen in what
are happily called the overflow
meetings" composed of persons who
could not gain admission to the regu-
lar meetings where Mr.. Moody ex-
horts, and who adjourn to neigh
boring church to listen to some other
preacher and to sing the songs which
Moody and Sa key made familiar to
them. If any considerable part Of
the crowds who go to the meetings
were composed of the merely curious,
these Overflow meetings" could not
exist.
Nor is even this all. Mr.. Moody
does not hesitate to advise people to
stay away from his meetings. He
has repeatedly urged that his labors
are for n-chulch-goers; that he de,
sires room left for this class, and he
has taken special means to exclude
from some of his meetings all who
regularly attend church-that is to
say, he does not court his audiences
but the contrary. If you 60 to hear
/ him it must be because you want to-
if you go the second time it must be
because he interested you the first.

COME ,ERATE ARCHIVES.

The we'll informed special cores
pondent Of the Balti.aore ,Ssta writes
t6that Journal that tile Secretary Of
War will ask of Congress an appro-
priation for the publication Of the
Confederate archives and records.
The Secretary of War in Julyzlast
appointed as the editor and compiler
of these records General Marcus
Wright, of Tennessee. The Secreta-
ry considered that it would be best to
appoint Confederate officer for this
work, not only because exception
could not be taken to the work as be.
ing in an unfrieadly or partial hand,
but because many documents and
otner memoranda would be furnished
which otherwise would be unavailable
Gen. Wright since entering on his.
duties has performed great deal of
labor. He has already completed, so
far as may be, connected history Of
the official Confederate operations for
the first year Of the war. He has
had placed at his disposal all the pa
pers of the Southern Historical so.

books of most Of the leading Confed-
crate cnieftains. Hon. Jefferson Da-
Wis has also submitted for theslse of
General Wright such official papers
in his, possession as belonged to the
executive Office of the Confederacy.
Genera, Wright has written to Mr..
Judah P. Benjamin. at London, ask
ing. him to furnish any documents

ate Secretary Of State. tits design
ed to make this publication Of the
Confederate records as complete as
those Of the United States operations,
if the material can be obtained, and
it is thought there will be no difiicu!-
ty in this. An exceedingly valuable
contribution to history will thu' be
obtained. In connection with this
subject i. will be Of public interest to
state that the loss ii the son Of Mr..
Davis by yellow fever, and the illness
of both Mr.. and Mrs. Davis, have
caused some delay in the preparation
of the personal memoirs Of the Pres
ident OF. tie Southern Con!ederacy.
But it is thought that the work will
putto press some time IN the Spring
So great is the public interest taken
in these forthcoming momo:rs that
arrangements are in progress to print
a London edition simultaneously with
the New York edition, and it is prob
able that French edition will also
be printed. Mr.. and Mrs. Davis are
now at their home, at Baauvoir, Mis-
sissippi.

SENATOR HILL on THE SITUA-
TI0N.
The Democratic Party Likened to the
Children of Israel i'll the
Wilderness.

The Democratic Party Likened to the
Children of Israel i'll the
Wilderness.
Hon. B. 81. Hill, Senator from
Georgia, delivered a speech in Allan
ia lately, from which we extract
the following:
Fe:loau- Citizens, Whatever opinion
you hold on any question, abandon
your feelings, your individual notions,
and come with one heart and rally to
the support of that party which will
save this country from fraud and
corruption-the Democratic party.
hear men say sometimes, If this
is going to be the case, if this thing
or that thing is to be, I am no longer
Democrat. And 1 am reminded
sometimes of a passage in Exodus,
and commend it to your attention:
When the children of Israel passed
through the wilderness they should
have reached Canaan; they were for
ty years in the wilderness and why
Every now and then they rebelled,
and God would turn them back in
the wilderness as a punishment for
their sin. They built golden call
and worshipped it, and God punished
them for that. They were wiser than
we, because we worshipped a paper
calf. 1t has often come near putting
us back in the wilderness. 1t came
very near losing US the House of Rep
resentatives the other day. You ask
Do YOU want a sound currency 2
1 do. "Do you want a healthy cur,
rency ?" I do. "Do you want {
currency equally distributed over the
country" l do. :" Do you want pros
perity revived" l do. "Do yor
want better transportation for th'
products of the country?" do. Al
these things you can have, and have
only through the Democratic party
This country must be ruled. 1t Cal
only be ruled fora generation to com
by either the Radical party or tn
Democratic party. If you weaker
the Democratic party, i you den.
its standard in disdain, you will b
turned back into the wilderness, an,
that party born of strife and wal
and living only by blood, will con
inue to rule in sorrow.

Unanimous Election Of Gov. Hampton
to the United States Senatorship--
Impressive Scenes in the General
Assembly.-A Characteristic Letter
from the Governor.
Special Dispatch to the Neaos and Courier.
COLUMBIA, Thursday, December
lO.-In the House Of Representatives
to-day, the hour of noon having ar
rived, the Speaker announced that,
under the act of Congress, the time
had come for the election of Sena-
tor to the United States Senate, and
that the House would proceed by a
r.va voee vote to declare its choice.
A hush as still as death fell upon the
House, and every eye was turned to-
wards Gen. Samuel McGowao, who
rose and said:
Mr.. Speaker 1 rise to exercise a
privilege which belongs, in common.
to every member on this floor, but
which on this occasion seems to me
something more-a duty. We are
about to perform an act which will
honor citizen with the highest office
the State can bestow, but that con-
sid. alton sinks into insigni6cance in
.ew of the fact that it involves, to a
large extent, the peace, prosperity
and happiness of the whole people of
South Carolina. A Senator in Con-
gress has an exalted position from
which he can do much for his people,
and is regarded as the highest type
and exponent of that people.
South Carolina throughout her
whole history, excepting a period in
the recent past, has appreciated high
virtues and delighted to honor those
of her sons who deserved we'll Of the
republic. She has always put for
ward her best men, and trusted them
in no narrow, Jealous spirit, but with
the full measure of her confidence.
She conceived that in honoring them
she honored herself. Nor did she
niscalculate. For although small in
territory we can say without
touching upon anything doubtful
that for many years she contributed
as much of talent, Of genius and ol
patrio ism to the councils of the COM
mon country as any State in the Un.
ion. The roll of her distinguished
representatives is too long to enume-
rate. They were truly representa-

Wade Hampton, having received a

IN THE SENATE.
As soon as the Senate assembled,
Mr.. Coker, of Darlington, moved
that the Senate at once go into the
election of United States Senator.
This motion having prevailed, Presi-
dent Jeter said that nominations were
in order.
Mr.. Mccall, of Marlboro: II have
the honor to place in nomination a
name that needs no tribute from me,
a name that is indelibly impressed
upon the hearts of all true sons Of
Carolina. the name Of the true, tried
and trusted Wade Hampton"
Gen. Siegling, of Charleston: 81
rise, Mr.. President, to second the
nomination which has just been made,
and in 80 doing I feel that the high
est interests of South Carolina will be
subserved by securing, as her repre-
sentative in the national councils, the
distinguished patriot who was her
defender in war and liberator in
peace.
| will not pause here to recall how
during that condition of war he con-
tributed to make the name Of South
Carolina illustrious, or how in the
discharge of the more difficult and
not the less honorable duties of peace,
he wrought the redemption Of the
State.
Nor will I in this his native State,
much less in this Senate Chamber
attempt to show how by the inherent
power of his own absolute purity he
restored the liberties of his people
and broughtto their fresides an endu,
ring peace.
But I will say that wheresoevel
truth, good faith and fidelity to duty
shall be recognized as the highest
human virtues, and wheresoever the
story Of a sorely oppressed people
and their liberation by patriotic
hands shall be told, there will the
name of Hampton stand foremost.
Mr.. President, the General Assem-
bly, believing he can thus best serve
the State, will this day tender to hin
their highest gift, and in so doing
they will not only testify the appre
citation of his ability but Of his grea
heart which, in affliction as in health
throbs alone for the honor, peace anc
welfare of South Carolina"
Mr.. Kinsler, of Richland, read th'
same letter Of Governor Hampton tina
was read by Mr.. Miles in the House
and it was unanimously agreed tina
it be recorded upon the journal.
The roll of the members was ther
called and the vote taken. Th
twenty-nine Senators present, inclu
, ding Gen. Gary, cast their votes 70
Hampton, thereby unanimously elect
ing him.

sARrH's BEsr:.FRIENDsHIP.
LUTHER G. RIGGS.

count that friendship of but little worth
ThatEhath.no .ever.an endearing word;
That ne'er xith hope s.hath other fond
hearts stirred;
That ne'er to confidence hath given birth.
That friendship holds not many things
untold
OF all the pains and pleasures of the
earth;
But it hath longngs that no words can
hold,
And secret passions waiting for new
birth.
The truest friends speak ever soul to soul,
And clasp their brother with faithful
hand,
And pledge through fearful trials true
to stand
Aud, though cold waves of grief should
or them roll,
Still like the emblematic holly tree,
It's flowers for bruised wounds bloom
constantly.
