lift as Grant got in San Francisco, but it
seems to have been quite as sincere and
cordial as far as it went. In reply, Sena-
tor Bayard made a statesman-hke speech,
as is always his custom, from which the
subjoined is an extract
1t is a government of laws emanating
from the popular will, but that will must
be for honest and worthy ends, accom-
piisied By honorable means. It is con
trolled by public opinion, but that opinion
must be the intelligent result of knowl
edge earthly acquired, and deliberation,
and not the unstable froth and tumult OF
gusty passion. Aud to make public prin-
ciples secure they must be engrafted on
private honor; the wishes Of an upright
and intelligent constituency must be re-
fected by an upright and intelligent repre-
sentative.
A faithful representative should rather
displease his constituency than consent to
that which Injuries them. Ii is his duty,
fully and freely, to account to them. but
not to conceal his true opinion for fear OF
their displeasure, for his enlightened con-
science cannot be ~disregarded without in

To maintain this government Of ours,
such are some OF the conditions. and it is
upon the self-protecting elements Of soci

KnOck.dOwn Argument-The Tun'

ScalD.

mel Explosion After Gorham's
Scalp.
SAN Francisco, November 10.
The Third District Court at Oakland,
Judge Mckee ON the bench, was the scene
of a disgraceful assault this morning. j..
W. Dwinelle and G.. W. Tyler were argu-
ing q case, in the course of which, as Is re-
ported, Dwinelle was provoked by Tyler's
~well-known bullying tactics into a very
rough verbal reply; when Tyler struck him
in the face, knocked him down, and kicked
him in a brutal manner. He was finally
seized by the b~ystanders, and Dwinelle
assisted to his feet. Judge Mckee fined
the parties $50 each and adjourned the
Court.
A special from Wright's Station says the
white men injured by the explosion are
likely to recover. One more Chinaman
died last night. No more bodies have been
taken out OF the tunnel yet. The blower
is repaired, and the pumps started at 10
o'clock. A head Chinaman is trying toget
men to 60 into the tunnel after the dead,
but no one is willing. He will probably
get some after the blower runs about II
hours. The air pumped out is very foul
and full of gas.
Since yesterday morning there have been
signs that another .'whoop-up" was about
to be attempted in the north end stocks.
Operations in the Union and Sierra Neveda
mines are such as to readily furnish an ex-
cuse for further imitation. Although it is
freely admitted among those who claim to
be heavy helders of shares that nothing
can be done on a grand scale, and that no
prolonged upheaval can be expected until
the new pumps are in working order at the
Union shaft. One of these alleged heavy
holders said to a Post representative this
morning: IL still retain my interest in
stocks intact. No great bulge is likely to
take place in the market until the, new
pumps are running in the Union shaft.
This will be fully two months hence. /
have taken pains to inform all my friends
of this fact, and have counseled them to
| look out for fluctuations in the meantime.
When the pumps are in position, we shall
nave no further fear of water, which is our
| present great source of trouble, and can
crosscut just where we please. Something
big will then be shown"
The SecretarySof the Republican State
Central Committee, under instructions
from the Committee, has telegraphed to
the President and Secretaryof the National
Republican Committee, asking that the
place of Geo. c. Gorham in the National
Committee as a representative of Califor-
mia be declared vacant, on account Of his
action during the recent State campaign.
The body of a man was found at the foot
Of the Vallejo street wharf this morning,
and was identified as that Of Henry Thomp-
son, a lawyer of this city, who has been
missing since the 7th OF 9Th inst.
