The Murphy pledges has 230 signers
at Camargo, Ill.
A local option bill is before the
Maryland Legislature.
Rev. G. w. Sans writes that Miss
NJ 4ry NJ Clardy, OF the Woman's Ma
tional Temperance Union, lecCured at
JacksonporT, Ark, March 3, and re-
ceived IS signatures to the pledge.
Mr.. Murphy has secured $4,000
names to the temperance pledge i'll
Washington, D. G.
Sir Wilfrid Lawson has subscribed
$4,000 year tor five years to the Unit
ed Kingdom Temperance Alliance.
We are glad to say that the temper
ance movement is making considera-
bic Roadway in St. Louis. If there is
any city on the face of the earth that
needs a reformation in this direction, it
is st. Louis.
Peoria, ILL.,, has 1900 persons en-
rolled in temperance clubs; Bloom
ington has six reform clubs; Belvidere
has enrolled half its population, and
Joliet has for two years maintained a
Monday evening temperance meeting
which has crowded the City Hall.
Massachusetts,, within year or two,
repealed her prohibIoory liquor law
and substituted a license law. The
experiment has not worked as well as
some hoped. A committee of the
Legislature has reported in favor
of .re-enacting the old prohibitory
law.
In Washington, D. c., according TO
correspondent of the Chicago Times,
the sale of drinks has fallen off one
sixth since the temperance agitation
began. No less than sixty saloons
haYe closed for want of patronage, he
says; and ''every day witnesses some
popular bar-room succumb."
Rev. j. Wesley johnson writes
March g.: 1.-THE great temperance
movement has at last reached Farm
iugton, Mo , and is at the commence
ment assuming an unexpected magni-
tude. The NJ e. Church was crowded
to OVERLOOKING last night. After an
able address by Mrs. Holyoke, secre-
tary of the Woman's Temperance
Union of Illinois, 100 signed the pledge
of total abstinence"

SACRAMENTO VALLEY, or at least
every portion of it subject to inundation
is or has been under water during the late
fooG. Every levee on the river, except
ing only that which surrounds the City of
Sacramento, has been broken. "Such
foods as have come upon us of late, says
the Bee, "are not to be leveed against"
And il is true as the Bee further suggests
that the old water ways have been barred
and contracted by these same levees un-
til there is not sufficient channel to carry
the swollen stream in time of flood. The
only remedy, and the one most popular
now, seems to be in the creation Of new
channels TO accommodate the increased
volume of water in times like the Valley
has recently experienced.
The loss by the food caEnot be at pres
ent estimated very closely, but has been
placed at several millions of dollars. The
greatest damage is that done to growing
crops, the loss in that direction being
immense. The loss in live stock appears
to have been less than was at first sup
posed, the unbrOken portions of levees
serving them as places Of shelter from the
rising water until they could be removed
in boats. Many buildings have been de-
stroyed, but remarkably few lives lost.

THE CAPTURE OF DUNCAE.-Last
Saturday night, Jos. c. Duncan, the San
Francisco Pioneer Bank swindler was
captured by Capt. Lees of the Detective
force. After four months of untiring
search he was found by the officers within
stones throw of the City Hall. With
the assistance of friends and money which
Duncan had, it seems strange that he WAS
not enabled to make his escape from the
City and State, and that he did not get
away is due to the vigilance Of the San
Francisco Police under tho direction of
CAPT. Lees and Chief kirkpatrick. Now
that Duncan is captured and comfortably
lodged in prison with charges of emhsz-
element and forgery, apparently well
founded, hanging over him, it remains to
5e seen whether the same influences which
SO long kept him hid from the public will
not be sufficient to thwart the ends of
justice. Another question which assumes
prominence in this connection is whether
those who aided him in evading capture
will be punished as the law directs.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONvENTIoN.-The
Bill presented by the Joint Committee
providing for the holding of Constitu-
tional Convention, which we referred to
last week was passed by the Assembly,
after being considerably improved by
amendment. The thirty delegates at
large were first stricken out leaving the
number l20, to be voted for in Senatorial
Districts the number being tho same as
that of Senators aud Representatives
Then the pay was raised from 50 to IS
per day for 100 days and the sum total
appropriated increased to Sl50,000. The
election for Delegates will! be held in June
ard the Convention meet in August. Tho
Bill as it passed the Assembly is much
better than the original draft, although
1t might be further improved. What
action the Senate may take is not known.

GRATEFUL ACKNOWLEDGMENT - If
ever a man worked faithfully to advance
the interests of the State no represented
in the Senate Of the United States, that
man is our old Trinity friend John p.
Jones, Of Nevada. Silver reconciliation
is the measure best calculated to advance
the interests of that State, and to this
matter Senator Jones has devoted untir-
ing energy and marked ability to an ON
inent degree. More than any other, is he
entitled to the credit of the success Of the
measure, and his services should be re-
warded by reelection to the important
position he has so ably filed. That the
people Of Nevada are not unmindful of
his services is shown by the followed tel
egram, signed by numerous prominent
citizens of that State
To Hon. J. p. Jones, Washington,
ID. c.: Well done, thou good and
faithful servant" The people of the State
Of Nevada, without distinction of party,
are grateful to you for your ceaseless la
bors in securing the passage of the Silver
bill. They rejoice ut their deliverance,
and when time shall have shown the ne
cessity of silver reconciliation. as they
feel it to-day, the people of thirty ight
States will join with them in blessing a
measure which has brought to them fl.
nancial independence.

PORK LEO XIlI.-Pope Leo XIII, is
a native of Carpenetto, in the diocese of
Arraeui, and was born in 1910, being con-
sequentiy 6S years ofage. Ho was crea"
.ed Cardinal on December 10th, lS53.-
lie was Archbishop of Perugia, and
Chamberlain of the late Pope. though an
enemy OF Antonell. lie was to have
been created Cardinal at the request of a
Protestant, King Leopold |. of Belgium.
to whom he had been sent as a Nunciob by
George XVI, but on the death OF the
latter, Plus IN, yielding to the vindic-
tivcness ofAntoneli, allowed seven years
to elapse before he gave him the hat. OF
a high intellect, Of a well tried and ener-
getic nature, His Eminence has made not
only an excellent Bishop, but has realized
the type of a perfect Cardinal. AS an
administrator he managed TO clear Bene-
vento of smuggling and brigandage, as
we'll as tho underhand intrigues Of the
party Of the nobility. In regard to per-
sonal appearance the new Pope is tall and
| thin. His features have an aristocratic
stamp, and are characterized by great
| frmness. The voice strikes one disagree
ably at first, it is so nasal in its tones !;
but one soon gets accustomed to this
popularity, owing to its fullness and res
onance. Although simple in manners,
! he is of all the Cardinals, the one who
carries himself with the most pontiicial
majesty, resembling in this Plus IX.,
who in his early days passed for incom-
| parable Exchange.

THREE PREsIDENTs.-AW Washington

tion. to be designated as Article XVI,

vested in and hereafter administered by
three Presidents, constituting a supreme
executive council of three, to be elected
by qualified electors Of each and all the
States, and each TO be taken from the
three several sections ofthe United States
known, one as the Western States, one as
the Eastern and Middle States, and the
the other as the Southern States, and no
two of whom shall be citizens OF .he same
section or district of the country. Their
term of Office shall be six years, and
no President having served full tsrm
shall be eligible for q second; and at the

dent from the Western District shall be
elected for the fractional term of two
years, and the one from the Southern

SHASTA ITEMs.-From the Courier

SHASTA ITEMs.-From the Courier
Of last week we gather the following:
The nomination Of A. Dobrowsky as
Receiver of the Shasta Land office was a
surprise to that gentleman, as well as to
the friends of Chss. Mcdonald. Either
Of the gentlemen mentioned are fully
competent to discharge the duties Of the
Office. Mr.. Mcdonald has held the po-
sition with honor and credit since the es-
tablishment of the District. and he will
be greatly missed from tho position he
has adorned so well. Wo understand
that he did not particularly desire reap
pointment, and made no effort to obtain it.
OUR exchanges have made disperag-
ing remarks about the amount of rainfall
reported at Shasta, but those reports are
correctly given. Mt. Shasta, Lassen,
Butte and other gigantic peaks in this
county, act as rain. cloud condensers and
exact tribute from each aqueous laden ae-
rial passenger. Hence the great rainfall
in this part of the country.
The Copper City mines loom up in
qplendid proportions and will shortly fig
ure in the San Francisco stock reports
There is more incipient trade dollars in
Kellenger Hill than we ever handled by
the brokers Of San Francisco.

New ORLEANS MINI The New
York Worid's Washington special says:
Thurman has prepared a bill which he
wll introduce in the Senate early this
week authorizing the reopenng Of the
Mint at New Orleans. Should this bill
pass, the tall. OF establishing Mints at St
Louis, Topeka, Omaha, or Cincinnati will
probably be abandoned tor the present.
Statesmen from Kansas and Missouri will
endeavor though to push through bills to
secure Minis in their respective States.
The odds arc all in favor of the establish
,nont Of tho Mint in New Orleans, how
ever, as the building for the purpose is
still in q fair condition, and much of the
needed machinery for the coinage Of silver
dollars belonging to the Government is ~
ing idle. Besides, it is expected that
some of The silver product of the Goyco
will find its way to New Orleans more
easily than to any other city in the West
or South.

THE SILVER BILL.-A Washington
special Of February Goth, to the Chronicle
says: The President will veto the Silver
bill. He will lay stress not upon its
arrangement to current business, but
upon its assault on the national credit -
Taking his stand upon the Sherman
French correspondence with the syndicate
he will assume the position that the action
of the Treasury Department pledged tho
Administration to a payment of the bonds
in gold. The veto will be coupled with
the somewhat singular declaration that
he does not expect his action to affect
legislation.

THE GAINESVILLE (Ohio) Signal gives
sketch Of the extraordinary travels OF n
letter, which, after lapse of fourteen
years, has finally come back to the man
who wrote it. 1t was mailed at post
Office in Noble county, Ohio, to Cincin
natl, in the year 1858, and inclosed ten
dollar bill on an Alabama bank. Not be-
ing called for it was sent to the dead letter
office at Washington. From there il was
returned to the writer, but no could not
be found. Then il was again sent to the
dead letter office, then back to Cincinnati
and again back to the dead letter Office
A few days ago it was received at the
GAINESVILLE office, and delved to the orig
inal writer, who, after the lapse offourteen
years, had some difficulty in realizing the
fact Of ever having written such a letter.

DUNCAN ET AL.-N0 fresh develop
ments Of importance occurred yesterday
10 increase the interest excited by the ar
rest of Joseph G.. Duncan of the Pioneer
Bank. Public attention is now conferred
upon the examination proceeding in the
Police Court on the charge Of j. &. Mer-
ri.l Of conspiring to assist the escape Of
person charged with felony. 1t is now
asserted that lie Wsrnc, the late Secrets
~ Of the Safe Deposit Company, who is
charged conformity with Duncan, had en-
gagged passage 10 the tropics on the schoon-
er NcH'innon, which was fitted out by Mr..
Merrill for the accommodation of intended
emigrants to the salubrious climate o.
parts unknown. Captain Lees states that
LeWarne WAS on board the tug Redmond,
and that he was concealed in the hold Of
the tug with Duncan, Merrill and Middle
ton being on deck. On the same authority
it is believed that lie Warne is now in this
city, and it is not improbable that he may
surrender to the authorities, but, in case
of his neglect, it will be necessary to look
him up. Until Mr.. lie Warne's presence
is secured in Court it is impossible to go
behind the returns and ascertain just
when, where and by whom the stock Of
the Safe Deposit Company was raised
