SAN FaANcIsco. May ?.--The conn
ty committee of the Workingmen's
party held two meetings one TINS
afternoon. the other this evening
TO consider the conflict with kear-
ney and organization for the coming
campaign. kearney was roughly
handled by many OF the speakers.
branded as disturbing element in
the party and accused Of running
the organization in his own interest
and selling out his influence with
the party for coin. Resolutions were
adopted severing connection with
Kearney and providing for continu-
ing the organization without regard
to him, and urging the executive
committee to depose him from the
chairmanship. 1t was also claimed
that the county and central commit
tees were the lawfully and properly
constituted organizations, and that
all ward clubs should proceed in
the manner designated by such com
mittees to elect delegates to the
county convention for the purpose
Of putting up ticket for the consti-
tutional convention. and if in any
clubs kearney can command sutii-
cient influence to sway their action,
then all having the interests of the
party at heart should be urged to
sever their connection with such
clubs and connect themselves with
others who were working in lawful
manner. kearney's manner of pack
ing and bull-dozing the clubs ana
meetings for the purpose Of carrying
his own ends was severely dwelt
upon. and he was repeatedly de-
nounced as void of principle. homes
tv and reason. There seems no
reason to doubt that the breach be-
tween Kearney and the legitimate
organization of the party is bepond
repair.
New YORK, May 5.-The Tribune

rated the announcement that the In
dian contingent was ordered to Malta
before the departure of Count Schouva-
loft for ST. Petersburg. He had a long
interview with Lord Salisbury. foreign
secretary and Lord Beaconsfeld. 1t is
believed the British reply to certain in
quiries and proposals were determined
upon at St. Petersburg ten days ago,
having in view both the withdrawal of
the Russians and British from Constan>
tlrople and facilitating of the ESSEN
bling of the congress. AS Count Schou
valoff will not return here for two weeks
nothing decisive will be known until
next week. High hopes are entertained
in diplomatic circles of the results of
his mission.
Sir Stafford Northcote, chancellor of
the exchequer, addressed deputation

representation, of arriving at a peaceful

Washington special says the Post
will tomorrow publish q double
loaded editorial, showing why Til
den refused to take the oath of the
presidential office prior to March
4th, 1877. The article goes on to
say: Tilden first intended to lake
the oath in public manner, but he
abandoned the design as soon as he
learned of Grants determination to
arrest him on a charge of treason
and throw him into Fortress Mon
roe. as an instigator Of sedition and
rebellion. upon his appearance at the
capital for that purpose. That Grant
was prepared for such action and
would have seized Tilden's person is
well known to many persons Of both
parties. and that Tilden was re-
strained by his knowledge of such
peril is equally notorious IN private
circles. The consequence is that if
HAYES and Wheeler should be de-
posed by reason of the frauds, the
succession will be vacant, and the
house would proceed to elect, the

LIFE INSURANCE CRIMINALS.

Although the charge against Mr.. Wetmore,
President of the Security Life Insurance
Company, has brought to him shorter
term of imprisonment than that OF Mr.. Case
and Dr. Lambert, the trial is of not less i'm
portance than those more famous cases.
Three of the life insurance officers who were
indicted early last year have now been tried
and sentenced; threc-Isaac II. Allen of the

of the Charter Oak Company to trial; and the
suits at Trenton. growing out OF the raScaiity
in the New-Jersey Mutual concern, from which,
of late little has been heard.
A year ago, when the rottenness of those
insurance companies had just been exposed,
few people believed that the unfathfu officers
would be brought to trial still fewer imagined
that conviction and punishment would ensue.
A general notion on the subject was, in some
Lambert gave vent to in his speech to Judge
Brady; to the effect that if the presidents
of the Security and American Popular Com

they would not now be in disgrace. That no.
ton does injustice to our laws and courts
Now, at all events, il il demonstrated that so
far as insurance officers are concerned, the
law is no rcSpcctcr Of persons.
The direct Importance Of the Wetm0re trial
Is in two points which it determines. The
fact that a conviction has been obtained on
the charge Of conspiracy is of wide bearing on
this elias OF cases, and is the more remarkable
because 1t furnishes rare instance OF that
charge being proved when none OF
the criminals involved have turned States evil

the truth,ulncss of their annual statements
was a matter OF minor Importance, and who
have regarded those documents as merely
