A CARD.

EDITOR APPEAL: AS you have deemed fit
to publish in your paper that myself and wife
had been arrested on charge of petty larceny,
Of which, however, we have been honorably
acquitted, | trust that in simple justice to as,
you will likewise publish our innocence. The
facts of the case are these: By decree of
Court we lost our homestead, We had been liv
ing in for nearly twenty years, and which we
were forced to vacate on the 22dof last month.
A negro, named Bennett, rented room from
us in the house next to the one we had given
up, Separate property about four months
ago. After short occupancy of the room he
left here for Virginia, without giving us any
notice and without paying US dollar rent.
In order to make my present abode habitable
and have room for all the furniture and things
in my former house, the accumulation of
twenty years, I was necessitated to have the
negr0's traps, consisting of chest, trunk and
lot of filthy, soiled linen underwear and
st-Off clothes, which he himself testifes to
he used for his bed and bedding, moved out
of the way, disinfect the room of its horrible
stencil, by thoroughly cleansing it, and Put
down carpet, place my furniture therein, etc.
Now comes this miserable cur, prompted no
doubt in his action by my enimies) and brings
this infamous charge against us that we stole
some of those dirty things To accuse old resi-
dents here, as we are, of such crime is simply
an outrage but | see the stealthy hand of my
secret enimieS in the action. men W hose W hole
study, aim and object has been for years, to
injure me in this community, whose con-
tinuous effort has been to ruin me, and who
have carried their vindictiveness and rancOr
even into those sacred precincts, wherein
charity to all men is the great watchwOrd-
the shbboleth-by censuring persons there,
who have had the temerity IN exercising that
noble virtue, by employing me in certain mat
years, as no other man ever has-not by open
enemies, but in cowardly, covert and under
handed manner where | have had no oppor-
tunity to either resent the blow or vindicate
myself. [ have always endeavored to act
honestly and uprightly, but alas all this goes
for naught with these secret enemies, who,
not being satisfied with having robbed me, by
their treachery, not only of fortune, but OF
all possessed, are still striving to make me
ignomiuicus and prevent me from getting
any employment whatever, whose whole aim
in fact, is to haunt me even unto death.

The yellow fever has made its appearance
at Port-au- Prince
Rear Admiral E. c. Parrot died last Sun
day evening in New York.
1t is reported that the Sierra Nevada Min
ing Company will soon commence to extract
seventy tons of ore per day.
1t is announced that Carlotta Patti has
signed an engagement to visit New York, San
Francisco and Australia, next fall.
Theodore Thomas denies the story of a seri-
Gus rupture with the CINCINNATI managers,
and his probable return to New York.
The negotiations attempted with Adelina
Patti, for an American tour, have failed. She
wanted $1,000 nightly, and 900 before
embarking.
Incendiaries are at work in Reno. An at
tempt was made Monday morning to burn the
Ohio House. 1t was discovered just in time
to prevent another contiagraton.
The ''601, or some other equally effective
organization of Reno, administered a coat of

CALIFORNIA; FUTURE POLITICS.

Now that California has passed through
influences and gentle zephyrs that are to be
heavy with the delights of Reform. The
May brsezes of Nevada are redolent with the
perfumes of this political exotic, and it's cul-
ture is soon to be attempted near the sad sea
waves that wash the shores of our sister State.
Nevada contents herself with the cuttings and
ssions of the parent stock, and bequsaths to
her necessitous sister the more antiquated,
but still sturdy growth. The putrescence of
Republicanism in the Golden State is to be
deoaorized by the admi1ture in predominant
proportions Of consistent, lifelong Democracy
and Whiggery, and this strong, unobJectlona-
bic fertilizer will supply vigor to the rather
ancient trunk Inestimable are the benefits
of that political horticulture which Great Brit
ain developed and fostered among the isles
and continents of the southern seas. Callfor-
MIA will like it--when it gets accustomed to
it. She will not feel the loss of a Gorham if
she can substitute Searls and others of his
class, and it is even intimated that If Gorham
will retire Sears can actually be induced to
enter party of responsibility and progress.
BOUNDS but it is good to think of. IL Cali
fornia don't want to bid goodbye to the old
party of the Pacific coast, it must not forget
that the Kearney party is ready for anything,
and it must induce the Republican party to
neutralize Gorham, Carr, and others of that
ilk, and submit itself to the control of a few
thousand lifelong consistent Democrats and
Wings 1t will be good for the Republican
party, and Australia British Reform will
thrive. In fact, we have sad mlsglvlngs lest
the plant may happen to thrive the better,
the nearer its locus to the briny breezes; but
we will try not to envy our sister State of its
climate, soil and judicious fertilizers, though
it shall seem to excel our own i'll Reform cul-
ture. There is yet hope for California, not
withstanding it has Constitutional clauses
that are excellent and reformatOry, but vet so
overridden by sections SO arbitrary and impol-
itic, that the veriest 1tnmbskM would be
forced to the conclusion that their adoption
would be ruinous to the best interests of the
State Brace up hearties ! The laughing
month of June will witness the suspicious &C
complishment of the contemplated transplant
ing of that rare Reform plant which survived
a long sea voyage in 1850 to bless us with its
shade and sustain us with its rare fruits.
Would that we could spare to California, for
the better nourishing of the plant, such Dem
ocratic and reformatory ingredients for the
compost as Bob Clark and Tom Wells. Our
hearts are kindly disposed but we cannot,
really we nee.st not, impoverish ourselves. If
California will only follow our instructions
the Republican party can achieve such vic
tory as has not taken place since the Demo
cratic party nominated and elected Mr.. Lin
coin in 1860. Thanks to the mother country
for Reform horticulture

Secretary Sherman declares against farther
coinage of the trade dollar, but thinks that
it might be redeemed by purchasing it as bull
lion, to be paid for with lawful money, or by
the sale of bonds. Anyhow, he would strike
it out of the list of lawful coins The latter
course is likely to be taken.

Superior Court.


SATURDAY.-In the case of Geo. d. B. Witham vs.
City of Portland, the day occupied with the tes
timony of DR.. I. A. Foster and Dr. !. I. Dana in de-
failing the several examinations which the plaintiff
has been subjected to since the accident and the force
and effect Of the examinations upon their opinions
as to the condition of the patient. Dr. Foster said
he thought the plaintiff at the present time is in a
condition which would be brought about by hysteri
cal action long continued ndthe habit that would
naturally result from that continuance; that he
could discover objective symptom of organic dis
of the spine: he did not wish to be understood
as declaring that the symptoms were feigned, but
that the hystercal symptoms which he labors under
being kept up for long time naturally results in a
habit which he now very easily follows.
DR.. Dana testified that judging of the probabili-
ties the fact that after the accident the man
had bed freely, the excitement afterwards of set
Ting up his business, and commencing and prepar-
ing this suit for damages his opinion is that he had
developed historical condition of the spine; that
he could discover objective symptom of any other
condition of the spine that all of these other symp
toms are either consciously unconsciousy greatly
exaggerated by him.
On the part of the plaintiff Drs Hutchinson and
Buzze testified that in their opinion the plaintiff is
suffering from an organic disease of the spine.

Portland's Election Returns.


City Clerk Robinson, upon being asked if his
return to sthe Secretary of State was defective,
said he did not think it was. He believed he
had given the whole number of votes for every
officer, at any rate he had forwarded to the
Governor and Council a certified copy of the
record, so there should be no mistake. He
has the impression that the printed blanks for
warded by the Secretary of State did not call
for the whole number of votes, except for Gov
ernor. He thinks he filled up the omitted
parts in writing; any way the certified copy he
has furnished will cover all the ground. The
record can only be defective, If it is so, where
the local officers report few ballots as scatter
ing, instead of giving the names on the ballots
If this is a defect it is irremediable. Those.
scattering votes would not have altered the re-
suit, and the Aldermen have no official infor-
nation excep: what comes from the ward off
