HoSG WING, a rious celestial, has
been arrested at Virginia City. upon a
dispatch from the Sacramento authori-
tics, and the Chronicle thus ventilates
tho cause OF the arbitrary proceeding:
Wong Wing ran away FROM California a
few weeks ago with 5000 Of the funds
belonging to a Chinese Methodist
Church. 1t appears that some months
ago the Methodists n Sacramento
started a branch church for the benefit
OF the Chinese who wished to embrace
the Christian religion. Won Wing be-
ing n more deyout disciple than the
rest, aud more fervent in his prayers,
he was picked out by the church men,
bers as the custodian Of the funds.
After awhile he began 10 exhort his
ofethton to abjure sinfulness, tan cames
n chicken stealing, aud lay up their
treasures where neither moth nor rust
could corrupt nor thieves break through
u steal. Taking the hint, they began
to deposit their surplus funds with the
church. and he being the trea ,urer, soon
had about 5000 in cash in his bands.
He continued to preach as usual on the
duty Of laying up heavenly treasures,
but after a while the Celestials seeing
no immediate return, and discovering
MIR. Wing bucking against a tan game.
they refused to pungle further. Dis
gusted with the lack of zeal exhibited
by the congregation. Wong Wing left
the tabernacle and came TO Nevada.
He also brought the money with him
belonging to the church. He will be
taken back on a charge OF grand lar
ceny.
The alacrity with which the Oriental
"man and brother" adopts the popular
styles and systems Of the American
Christian. must be very encouraging to
Eastern sontimcntalists. The only sur
prising part Of the performance is that
n particularly pious Caucasian was not
selected to do the pilfering.

WASHINGTON NOTES.
WASHINGTON, June 25th.

WASHINGTON. June 25th.
The President received n communica-
ton from the Senate judiciary commit
tee with regard to the withdrawal
of the nomination of Secretary
McCrary as Judge Of the Eighth
Judicial Circuit. 1t says there was no
personal objection to the nominee, and
that the only reason for not recon-
mendirg his confirmation was that a
Vacancy could not be anticipated. 1t is
intimated that a renewal Of the nominal
ton at the proper time would receive
favorable consideration.
The advisory committee Of the Senate
and House caucuses, this morning.
agreed to recommend to the joint Dem
ocratic caucus hat the provisions con-
tanned in the vetoed measure making
appropriations for judicial expenses of
the Government, be divided into two
bills. The bills will be prepared by IA
sub committe, and action will probably
be taken on them to-day.
There is barely n quorum in the
House. Speaker Randall said to day,
there are only four or five more than a
quorum Of the House now here and tho
probability is there viii be NJ quorum
in q day or two.
General \. \. Humphreys, Chief of
Engineers, has r,quested that he be
placed on the retired list. The request
will be granted.

SENATOR LOGAN will reach Washington

limited that the Senator has had hand in

tons are very base. Logan is not that kind

sought 1t is perhaps true, that, after he
saw that the great body of the people of
this State wanted him in the Senate he did
some work for that people. He brought
scores of claquers to his side and organized
his forces with great skill; but he was
leading the fight of the people. Letters
that he didn't know anything about, were
written to Logan's Chicago horn-blower,
declaring that the people were wild IN their
desire for Logans election. This being

been recreant in the face of a great
duty, had he permitted Oglesby to
run away with tie Senatorial prize. But
he was not that kind of man. Logan as

he left no stone unturnod
to secure the election of the per
sonifed people to the United State Senate.
He succeeded; and now if Logan, as Logan,
has had hand in making arrangements for
the reception of Logan as the people, there is
no improperly in it, whatever II may be
that the reception is due, wholly to Mr., Lo-
