Tue Congressional election in California,
which takes place in September, may de-
termiue the question OF the Presidency in
1881, shorld the choice be thrown into the
House of Representatives. In that con-
tingency the vote is by States, each State
having enc, and the majority Of Repro
sentatives determining that one. The Re-
publcans in the House now control the
delegations OF eighteen States, and the
Democrats nineteen. IfCalifornia be Re-
publican in its delegates there will be a
tie, II its delegation be equally dividedits
vote may be lost Should there be tie in
the House, Parson De La Matyr will come
into play. He was elected last year
BY the Democrats and GreenbaCkers OF the
Indianapolis district, and it is by counting
him as Democrat that Indiana is placed
in that column. There are six Democrats
and six Republicans from that State, and
De La Matyris the odd man. And as goes
De La Matyr in the contingency mention
ed, 80 goes the presidency, The Cali
iOrnia delegation is now equally divided,
but it would not be if Pacheco, Republican,
had not been ousted to give his seat to
Wigginton. generally conceded that
the Republicans are likely to elect st least
three members from California in Septem-

opposition, but as the Baltimore American
remarks, 1t is much less certain that the
choice of President will go to the House.

improvement has melted away the great

A MYSTERIOUS ASSAULT.
Mr.. Dunleyy's Remarkable Treatment
Of His Aged Guest.

81. Louis Times-JOuFaai, 18th Inst.
A suit for 5000 damages was fled in
the Circuit Court yesterday by R. s. Mac.
Donald. tconcernstwo well known citi-
zens and is based upon most remarkable
affair, the circumstances OF which will
hardly seem credible to those who know
the parties. The plaintiff in the suit is
0rlotf @. Zane, an old and reputable gen.
tleman. 1tappeaFs that several days ago,
as the story goes, Mr.. Zane was invited by
Mr.. A. O. Dnnlevy to come to his house
on Walnut street, near Twenty.third, Mr..
Dunlevy representing that his wife was
away, and he would be pleased to have
his old friend live with him awhile and
keep him company.
The invitation was accepted and Mr..
Zane something over week ago took up
his abode in Mr.. Dunlevy's house. The
visit was made agreeable and the time
passed pleasantly until Saturday night.
Then, Mr. Zane says, Mr.. Dunlevy rushed
into his room and with scarcely word
commenced violent assault upon him,
seemingly with the design OF killing him.
Mr.. Zane had retired and was asleep. He
was aroused by the blows and essayed to
protect himself Finally, covered with
blood and bruised from head to foot, he
managed to escape from the house and
got into the street.
Which way ho went he does not know.
He was found, however, on Twelfth and
Olive streets, In shocking condition,
bloody and unconscious. At the dispen.
aaFv nm examination NJ HE fnfu,;as r,,au
made. He had received deep cut In the
head, four inches long, apparently made
by some instrument He had another cut
on the temple and bruises and cuts on his
breast, stomach, arms, shoulders, in fact
pretty much all over him. When found
he had tainted from loss Of blood.
After being patched up at the dispen.
'sary the old gentleman was taken to the
residence OF his son, who is the steno.
grapher for the Wheeler and Wilson sew
ing machine Office here. The wounded
man is regarded as in critical condition.
1t Is the intention OF the relatives not 10
stop with the suit for damages, but also to
bring the matter before the grand Jury.
MIR. Zane and Mr.. Dunlevy had dis.
pute some eleven years ago about note
for several thousand dollars, but that was
supposed to have been settled amicably,
and friendly relations had been resumed.
The motive for the assault is inexpiicable
to those who know all the parties.
MIR. Dunlevy is well known business
man and not given to such conduct. 1t is
said that he expresses great regret for
what has happened, and that he can't ex-
plain 1t, even to his own satisfaction.

employing Supervisors in the election Of
1878. His testimony related solely to the
employment OF the Supervisors and Depu.

Democrats refused to furnish the names
Of the members OF their party who were
to act as Supervisors. Judge j. B. Faraker
testified that he was the chief Supervisor
at that election, and endeavored to an
appoint representatives OF every political
party, but had great difficulty in getting
Democrats to serve. He thought there
were nineteen Democrats who finally con.
sented to serve. He wrote To Nelson Saw.

PARLIAMENTARY examination into the
matter OF cooperative stores in Ireland
and Scotland now going on before select
committee Of the British Parliament is
developing some interesting testimony.
Mr., Mcclure, hardware dealer, OF Dublin,
stated that in that city there existed what
was known as the Official Supply Associa-
ton, the original name OF which, however,
had been the Civil Service Supply Associa-
ton. It was success from pecu-
mary point OF view, and that success, to
his mind, was to re attributed, in the
hnt place, to the TACT that several
noblemen allowed their Lames to be used
in connection with it, and then to the fact
that it was managed entirely by Crown
servants. He objected to Crown servants
being connected with such trading aHsocta-
tons, and maintained that il they contin.
ued as at present organized they would
have the effect Of very seriously damaging
The small traders, not only in Dublin, but
IN country places. for many Of the land
owners aud gentry OF Ireland got their
goods from the stores. This was false
economy, to his mind. He had been affili.
ated TO the stores, but had been struck of
theirl list because he had allowed the public
the same discount as that given to MEM
bers Of the stores-yiz. u and 10 per cent.
Tor cash. Mr., Alexander Dickson, Edin.
Ourgh, produced petition, signed by 426
Sroces Of that city, protesting against
civil servants being allowed to take part in
trading operations to the prejudice Of
ordinary traders. In the course Of the
evidence given by him before the com.
mittee, Mr.. Dickson said there were In
Edinburgh several cooperative associa-
lions, one Of which was called "the Pro
iessional and Civil Service Supply Associ-
alton" and was conducted and managed
by Crown civil servants. twas this asso-
citation which was objected to by ths
