William J. Stedman, of the firm Of Sted-

Public Stock Exchange, was yesterday
broken up by four attachments placed upon
it by firms. The debtor was arrested to-
day at Lathrop, on the charge of embezzle-
ment, and an officer will be sent to that
place to bring him back to this city. A
warrant for Stedman's arrest was issued
from the Police Court yesterday, when the
officers learned hat Stcdman had shipped
his baggage to Omaha, and was about to
leave the city. This morning he avoided
the detectives, who were watching for him
to take the Overland train at Oakland, and
boarded it at Eerkiey. He was accompa-

take action regarding the payment of
claims against the city for damages during
the riots of July, 1877. One Of the claims
had been allowed in the Justices Court,

confirmed by the Municipal Court Of APP
peals. The City and County Attorney
gave the decision that claims for less than
$500 must be paid, having been decided in
favor Of the claimants by o Court Of last

THE LEFT DETERMINED TO HAVE THE

GEN. FARRE TO BE WAR MINISTER.
The Overthrow or the Cabinet.

LONDON, January 16.
A Paris dispatch says the Left have fully
made up their minds to have the Ministers,
and are determined to remove Ill but Re-
publicans from Office, and to carry out the
wishes Of the electoral body, especially as
regards the Ministry Of War. General
Fare was proposed by Dufsure as War
Minister, but President MacMahon refused
his appointment, and threatened 70 resign
IL it was insisted upan, n, Dufaure
yielded, and assented to the appointment
Of General Gresley. All persons acquaipt-
ed with the relations between President
Mcmahon and General Gresley~a ARE aware
that the appointment il equivalent to a re-
fusal to allow the Chambers to have .
constitutional control over the officers. As
long as General Gresley is in Office there
will be no reforms. and no changes in the
great military commands. The Marshal
retains his hold over tho administration Of
the army. which the Chambers claim for
them alone. and which they are deter
mined to have.
Another Paris correspondent regards
the situation as very critical. The over
throw Of the Cabinet. he says, would lead
to President McNahon's retirement, and .
Governments by the extreme Left, with o
revolutionary programme. which would
profoundly dersnge society throughout
France.

From the Mobile tAia.) "Register.1
In Virginia there is method and
order in drinking. The climate be-
ing colder the blood is not SO
thick. and hence the necessity for drinks
every hour is not urgent. There is also
more economy in Virginia, where the close
methods Of the regions Of hog and hominy
are observed. Here in Alabama we drink
in the winter TO keep warm, and in
summer to keep cool. In the cities we
drink to be sociable and show that We are
men about tnwn aud in the country we
drink to keep off chills and TO cure snake
bites. We are opposed to the continual
drinking which exists in Russia and other
object to a cocktail when we get up, a snif-
ter just before breakfast. a thrOat-cfearer
just after breakfast, n lunchrr at twelve
O'Clock, two or three sociables between
twelve and dinner, a bottle of win or good
strong whisky straight at dinner. After
dinuer, having been thus abstcmious dur
ing business hours, We open ourselves q
little and drop in at the saloons and clubs
to see how political affairs are moving. If
the country is in danger, or if we find 1t
popular to abuse a good ncighbor for the
benefit of a faction, the matter can be bet
ter discussed over u drink or so. The judg-
raent is better balanced and opinions more
readily formed over the fumes Of a hot
whisky punch. We become more eloquent
and express our opinions with that en-
plasis of statament which marks the free
American ~citizea.

The stomach is affected with loss of appe- tite and sickness; the bowels in gen eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part.
