SAN BUENAvENTURA, Nov. 10.-
A mixed and somewhat nasty case
is now occupying the attention o.
the Committing Magistrate ri
Santa Paula, in this county. II
appears that a few months ago, A.
II. Shepard, the Postmaster, mar.
ried Miss Blumberg, q Deice oi
Robert Vancuren, and soon after
the latter married Shepherds sis.
ter. In three or four months
Mrs. Sheppard gave birth to a
child, which is alleged to be
the offspring of her uncle Van
curen. The latter asserts that the
girls father, A. w. Blumberg, is
the seducer of his own daughter.
The result is that Sheppard has
brought suit for divorce, and
Blumberg has had Vancnren ar
rested for incest. The examinn-
tion commenced this morning, and
Will probably last two or three
days.

WASHINGTON, y. c., Nov. 49,,
A report has been circulated that
the friends of President Grant will
bring him forward for United
States Senator from Illinoise as the
third candidate against Oglesby
and Logan in case of deadlock.
1t Is not believed that either will
stand against him. 1t Is also doubt
ed whether Grant will allow his
name to be used against either.
1t is thought, by some, to be
scheme for killing his Presidential
nomination.
The Secretary of Wars Report
read before the Cabinet to-day,
asks that Congress either repeal
the posse commitatus clause
in its last appropriations, and allow
the President to use the army as
authorized by the Constitution or
clearly interpret the clause so that
the army may be used to suppress
disturbances when called by civil
authorities. The Secretary max es
no recommendation in relation to
the transfer of the Indian manage
ment to the army, but asks Con-
gress to legalize his action furnish
ing supplies to yellow. fever suffer-
ers and pension for the widow of

ingmen's party is strong there yet,
and will be the means of carrying
the State for the Republicans by
causing other parties to
unite against it. All parties
believe that Chinese Immigration
should be checked, but the Kearny-
ties alone demand the ultra step of
expelling all who are there. He
believes that Blaine, Grant, or any
one nominated by the Republicans
for President will carry the State.
He believes that the Republicans
cannot carry a single Southern
State in 1850, but can carry all the
Northern States, with the possible
exception-of Indiana.
