Senator Conking's presence ut Canonchet
has not been accounted for. lie Is known to
have stad at Newport until it was certain
that the Ex-Governor was absent; then hH
went to Canonchet. He was received at the
landing by Mrs. Sprague, and how he in
stalled himself at Canonchet Is testified to ny
the German teacher, by the children and by
the servants. The opponents OF Senator
Conkling do not charge him with criminality,
but with ungentemanly conduct, impudence
and cowardice. Ex-Gov. Sprague does not
consider the affair ended He thinks himself
outraged by the Senator and demands salts

alton of His Assets.

The examination Of Levy, the cornet player,
on supplementary proceedings on the judg-
ment obtained by George w. Ryer, was con
tinued yesterday. Levy testified that he and
his wife anu children lived at tao Manhattan
Beach Hotel and that he paid for his board,
and his wife paid for that or herself and the
children. Ills wife paid $40 d month for the
house in which they lived IN the city. Levy
was then asked Ii he had married in London
the daughter OF q man named Scott; il she
was living now and ii he had recently sent
ner money. Objections We're made to these
questions aud sustained. An objection was
also sustained 70 the question II Levy had
been in the British army, BY which Ryer's
counsel wished to show that Levy was once
in the army and had played for the officers Of
the regiment at mess. Levy said without
hesitation that he had not u bank account at
the present time and had never had one.
WHAT did you d. with the salary you had?"

"What do you mean, You drunkard2" inter
rupted Levy, angrily, you drunken"
The referee quoted Levy before he got any
further, and Levy. continuing to answer
questions as shortly as possible, admitted
tnat H. wore . watch while playing at Man
haitian Beach on Sunday, but said That 1t be-
Ionged to his wife. lie had not asked to have
his salary at Manhattan Beach paid IN such Il
way that he could not be forced TO pay q GER

money too freely on his friends.

was "Mr Levy, were you ever in Chancery

to deliberately resolve that Democracy is

then to resolve that they will go over to

THE Political OUTLoeK.-From all
quarters Of this State comes the cheering
intelligence that the Republican Party is
solid and eager for the fray. While this
is cheering indication, success is con-
frmed by the fact that our old-time ene>
my, the Democracy, is bad dly demoralized
and without hope of unity. 1t is an ac-
kuowledged fact that the 2,000 to 1900
voters who follow ;he lead of the sand lot
agitator are drawn directly from the
Democratic ranks, and fully as certain
that nine-tenths Of the New Constitution
Party come from the same source. In
sUme counties, such as our neighbo Sis
Riyou heretofore strongly Democratic, it
has been found impossible to muster
enough Of the faithful to hold County
Convention, and the few Democrats who
did meet adjourned sine die. On the 9th
er hand the press is daily filed with an
noucements Of :he formation Of Republ-
can Clubs and enthusiastic Republican
meetings. New and Old Constitution
Republicans now meet on common level,
accept the situation and agree to go for
ward hand in hand to victory in Ca;for-
MIA in 1879, and in the Nation in 1880.
The Republican State Convention which
is to assemble in Sacramento on Tuesday,
June 18th, bids fair to be one Of the larg
est attended and most harmonious pohti-
ca assemblages ever gathered in the State.
That satisfactory nominations will be
made seems'certain from a review Of the
names Of those already chosen as Dele
gates. Let Republicans remember that
all roads out Of their own party lead di
rectly to the enemy's camps, and that no
good can be hoped from divisions among
With the united front now
presented by the Republican party of
California, defeat seems impossible, and
the more divided our opponents become
the more certain are we to succeed. "In
union is strength :" therefore atove all
things remain united.
