How often are the brightest hopes of

away just as they were getting the
plan of the Potter investigation SO
arranged that they expected to electrify
the country by its result some cruel fate,
acting through Speaker Randall, thrust
in Gen. Butler, as one of the Republican
members of the committee. This was
perhaps done on account of the Generals s
apparent GOODNESS towards the Admins

The attempt, few days ago, to murder
the Emperor William, of Germany, was
the natural outgrowth of the teachings OF
demagogues. DR.. Modelling, the assassin,
is a Socialist, and had perhaps been
taught to believe that because the EN-
peror changed his linen occasionally,
and did not wear his trowsers threadbare
by sitting around on dry goods boxes, he
was a monster Therefore the erring
Doctor determined to strike blow in
the interest of the poor and oppressed of
his class, by firing load of bird shot into
the Emperor. This will doubtless bring
about better understanding between
the Government and the Socialists.

THE purely commercial agency of
Dun, Barlow & Co., in its annual circu-
lar, draws from its careful statistics of
failures the following significant con-
clusion against imitation: 1t is a fa-
vorite argument in certain quarters
that if Congress would create more
money the number of failures would be
less. The facts warrant no such con-
clusion. On the contrary, decision
in precisely the opposite direction is
reached. The fact is that the chief
cause of the numerous failures is that
too much money was available in the
past. The startling failures in most
cases are not caused by recent transac-
tions, but by departures from legiti-
mate principles in the time of imitation.
Although the banking capital in the
Middle States is overdouble that of the
Western, the failures are ten per cent.
greater in the former.

TURMOIL THREATENED.
The San Francisco Earthquake
on the Eve of Eruption.
The City Authorities Awakened to q Sense
of the Danger and Their Duty.
The Militia Of the City Called to Arms
The Aid Of U. S. Troops rendered.

San Francisco, Jan. 17.-For some
time past the language used at meetings
of so-called workingmen, by agitators
Kearney, Knight, Wellock and others,
has been growing more and more in
cendiary in character. At meetings
held in this city last night pretty strong
intimations were given out that the
Chinese passengers by the steamer City
of Toxic, due here tomorrow, would
be attacked. 1t has been ascertained
that under the advice of their leaders
the mob have been forming military
companies, and have made some pur-
chases of weapons. The power of pub
lie opinion, and the vigorous utterances
of the press have finally spurred the
authorities to action.
This morning the heads of the execu-
tive, judicial and legislative depart
ments of the city government held a
secret conference, as a result Of which
a special meeting of the board of super
visors was held this afternoon. The

life and property, and their defiance of

time for decisive action had come.
Resolutions were adopted authorizing
the mayor to appoint a committee of
seven of the board to go to Sacramento
this evening and procure the immediate
passage of bills authorizing the police
commissioners to appoint temporarily
such number of special police as may
be necessary from time to time for the
preservation of order. The committee
left on the evening boat.
This afternoon the mayor had con-
ference with Gen. McComb, who has
ordered the entire military force of the
city to assemble at their armories and

TROUBLED TEXA S,
Fresh Indian Raids.

San Antonio, Jan. 1.-THE follow
ing despatch has been received at head
quarters from Fort DAVIS:
"On the 9th inst. word was brought
to Presidio, on the Rio Grande, 100
miles from Fort Davis, that the Indians
had taken stock from Russel's ranch,
forty miles from Presidio, and shot a
man. At midnight another man came
in and reported that thirty AIexicans
had gone out from the attacked ranches
in pursuit, and that the Indians
had surrounded them. Two men had
escaped and brought in word. One of
these men was wounded. There are
still thirty fighting men on the ranches
in the vicinity"
No word has been received since.
This is probably the beginning of the
large and well organized raid of which
Gen. Ord was warned several weeks
ago. The movement of the troops are
hampered by unprecedentedly heavy
rains.

Opening of Parliament.
rains.

London, Jan. 17.-Parliament opened
to-day. The Queens speech states that
she summoned Parliament before the
usual time of meeting in order that it
might become acquainted with the
efforts she had made to terminate the
war. Russian successes had convinced
the Porte that it should endeayor to
bring hostilities to close. The Sui
tan's government accordingly addressed
to the neutral powers-parties to the
treaties relating to Turkey-an appeal
for their good offices. A majority of
the powers decided that they could not
comply with the request, and so noti-
fed the Porte. The Porte then ap-
pealed to Her Majesty's government,
and she at once inquired of the Gar if
he would entertain peace overtures.
The Gar, in reply, expressed a desire
for peace, and stated his opinion as to
the course which should be pursued to
obtain it. Upon this subject commu-
nications had taken place between Rus
sia and Turkey through her good
offices, and she trusts they will lead to
the termination of war. So long as
England's interests are not infringed
upon her attitude will continue the
same, but should hostilities be pro-
longed some unexpected occurrence
may render it necessary to adopt mea-
sures of precaution, and she trusted to
the liberality of Parliament to supply
the means which may be required for
that purpose.
