Of last week we clip the following
The Millville Record says the Gala

speaks well for the good order and morals
Of our town" The calaboose at this
place is pretty well filed, and the Mill

OF boarders, which probably accounts
in some degree for the good order pre-
vaillng in our neighboring town.

A NEEDED CHANGE.-In converse
tion with Mr.. Young, of Etna, Siskiyou
county, the other day, we learned that
during the past Winter the mails reach
ed Yreka from Reading, vtd Trinity and
Scott Valleys, one day earlier than by
the Sacramento river route, and also
more frequently. This is a strong argu.
ment in favor of all the mails being car
ried over the Scott Mountain route which
is, and in fac: always has been the better
Of She two. Along this road are many
thriving villages, and much occupied and
cultivated agricultural land, the entire
route being well populated. On the Sac.
ramento river road there is comparative
ly nobody except at the stage stations
and there only those employed by the
stage company. A daily mail by way
of French Gulch, Trinity Center, Cal
lahan's, Fort Jones, Etna and Other
towns along the line to Yreka would ac.
commodate fifty people for every one who
- 'SSoiH"i'u"VSu ny slulllhT SeTNlCe or
the Sacramento river road. Luttrell,
Congressman from this District, is wei
acquainted with the situation and his
constituents directly interested in the
matter should petition and insist upon
his having the desired change made. II
would seem that an understanding of tn,
matter by the Post Office Department i,
all that would lie required. The grea
difficulty heretofore experienced in obtain
ing relief has been that some persons in
terested in the toll road on the river rout,
have successfully opposed the change
Individual interests should have ne
weight in such matters, where hundred,
oe people and thriving section of coun
try are deprived of the mail facIitie. t
which they are entitled.

PACIFIC OPIEIoHs.-Thisi is what the
Pacific Coast Mem bers of Congress think
about renewing the Presidential conflict /:
Grover says: II have already con
cluded that the Act Of Congress creating
the Electoral Commission settled the ques-
tion beyond controversy"
Mitchell is quite emphatic in his oppo-
sitlon to the measure. He regards the
question as settled by law, and that the
present movement is merely n piece Of
political capLrap, designed to keep hos
tilities alive and retain Tiden before the
public for the next Presidency.
Sargent ia opposed to the measure. and
says "What | may personally think Of
the President, it is question which ought
never to be revived, and there is no prob
ability that it will. The business ofth
country earnestly protests against all un-
necessary disturbance of public conf
dence."
Davis is opposed to it, and says that if
it is for political capital that such a
measure Is proposed, the object will sig
naliy fail.
Luttrell would not like to express an
! opinion. The country has been sold out
| by one Electoral Commission and he does
not see the good of another one. lie had
not read the bill. and would not like to
say anything more.
Wren is opposed to the bill. lie says :
at has not the dignity Of probable issue
IN the House, and ought not to disburb
the people Of the country for single
moment. 1t is as dead as door nail"
Williams is also opposed to it, and says:
81 must say, you are seeking sensa-
ton in the revival of this subject, that the
prospect is not hattering. and / might
add, very diScouraging. SO the Demo
cratic members say, almost without ex
ception."
Wiggington is also opposed to the
measure. He says: II was one of those
in Forty-ourth Congress who fought the
Electoral bill, and fiibustere1 againt the
Commission business, but it would do no
good now to disturb the peace or business
OF the country"

CoGHLAN's SUCCESSOR. The news of
the resignation of District Attorney
Cogblsn has been received by the Cali
fornia Delegation, and the appointment OF
mis- successor was a subject of consid-
erable conference among them. Sem
atDr Booth announced that he would
recommend Jno. L. Love for the appoint
ment. Representative Davis is inclined

Duzer. Senator Sargent and Represent
ative Page, Luttrell, Wiggington and
Wren have united in signing letter to
the Attorney General, recommending that
the place be given to Phillip Teare, pres
ent Assistant United States Attorney
In this letter they say Mr.. Teare is an
able and finely educated lawyer, 10 famil-
lar with the duties of the place, is of ex-
cellent personal character, and his ap-
pointment would be recognition of the
principle of promotion of worthy persons
in Office. In conversation, several OF
these gentlemen say they have no object

as having a prior Claim.

CHINESE NATURALIZATION. - The
question of the rightof Chinese to become
citizens of tho United States, came up
in the U. S. Circuit Court last Monday
at San Francisco, on the application Of
four Mongolians through their attorneys,
b. 4. Brooks and f. A. Bee, for papers
OF citizenship. They were of two classes
one for man who came to this State
under the legal age, and the others on
declaration of intention. The Clerk of
the Court refused the applications, refer
ring the applicants to the Court. The
facts ofthe case were stated in open Court
Several of the attorneys present brieAr
expressed an opinion in the matter. AZ
ter arguments by Brooks, Preston and
Sol. Heydenfelt, Jr., the Court took the
cases under adyisement.

WHAT IT MEANs.-To suppose, says
the Los Angeles Express, that a power
iul political party can be built up in this
country by mon who preach anarchy and
hemp Is the very sublmity of folly. The
ballot is free for all. Reforms must be
preached through that potent arbiter in a
regular way. Any other way i. revo-
luton, and a revolution in country
under popular government is what?
There is only one kind of revolution we
can think of, and that is the anarchy,
bIoodshed and disorder. which Kearnev
has SO plainly and impudently preached
from his perch in the sand-lots.

EUROPEAN News continues undecid led
and unsatisfactory. Latest advices state
that invitations to the Congress to exam
inc necessary changes in the existing
treaties have been communicated to the
several Powers. England alone refuses
to accept the invitation unreservedly. and
still insists that al the great changes in
the East shall be treated as a European
and not merely as Turco Russian ques
ton. Probabilities now favor bloodless
war of words and diplomacy. All hand.

REPEATIEG.-In making preparations
for dividing San Francisco into precincts
under new registration wards, an exami.
nation Of the ward registers shows that
good deal of repeating was done at the
last election. The examination is not vet
completed, but so far it has been found
that in the Sixth Ward three men voted
twice 4; in the Seventh Ward twenty nine
men voted twice ard one man three times,
changing residence to correspond with the
precinct. In the Tenth Ward, all the
poll lists are not yet examined, but there
have already been found seventeen double
votes cast. One man voted twice in the
same precinct, giving the same mum Der,
name and residence, which indicates com
plicity on the part Of the election officers
Registrar Kaplan has also evidence that
at the last election man was furnished
with SOS in coin and list Of the deceased
voters, and sentin the Ninth Senator
ial'District to vote the names. lie pick
ed up half n dozen men, and succeeded in
tho undertaking, at an expenditure of
about 81 so per head. lie was then given
a list of certificates, and sent out again
with a new crowd, and thus voted sixty
eight nance with twelve men during the
day. These facts we're presented to Gov
ernor Irwin while the registration bill WAS
pending, and it was upon evidence
brought to support this statement that the
Governor, in his message, said he knew
frauds had been committed. Registrar
kaplan expresses the opinion that there
are not over 81, 900 legal voters in the city.
He has addressed circular to hotel
keepers, asking lists of their guests and
employees claiming to be residents.

The RELEASE OF ANpERsoN.-The
decision OF the Supreme Court of
Louisiana in setting aside the verdict
against Anderson, convicted of the for
gerry of the Vernon parish election re-
tarns, ends ve1ed question. and
doubtless affords much relief TO MANY
persons of both political parties anxious
10 end recrimination aud agitation, aud
who never anticipated the prosecution
of the returning board. The grounds
of the decision place the case in m en.
tirely new light. The several excep-
tons to the verdict were dismissed, and
the court took up the question: OF the
offrnse itself, examined the elecli0n~law
OF the State, and holding that it was
"the essence of this crime that it should
be committed by public officer and
on documen, which would change the
result of election, said that this Was
not done, and ordered the verdict to be
set aside and reversed and the prisoner
discharged. This practically ends the
prosecution of the returning board
Bali. Snn.
