order. 81 vouch to the world for theln," saws

horrible than to try their political luck again
in the next election. We are justified in con-

extreme measures.

Mrs. Sargent, in an intlrview with a reporter
yesterday, said: 81 intend shortly to COM

Will be turned into a general fund for the
purpose of assisting the Chinese to emigrate
from San Francisco to New York. 1t will
be an easy matter to secure special rates and
pay fares OF 100 or 200 at'a time, as the case
may be. OF course when the present limited

The Vigilantes.
New YORK, March 1.-THE Tribune SAYS:
The Citizens Protective Union, to all intents
and purposes, is a vigilance committee. That
is what they have formed, but there is reason
to hope that a repetition of the summary
processes of 1856 will not now be thought
necessary. Formerly the courts and nearly
all the municipal officers were not in sympathy
with the criminal class. At present the May
or and Sheriff side with the mob, but the
Chief OF Police does not. There is no COM
plant of the judges or public prosecutors and
there is a loyal militia under the orders of a
respectable Governor. These are agencies
with which the Citizens Committee can and
will cooperate.
Political Notes.
New York, March 1.-THE Times Column
bus, Ohio, special says: Within the last few
days it has become very evident that Tilden
has tapped a new barrel and gone briskly to
work making arrangements for securing the
support of this State at Cincinnati.
The Suns Washington special recites the
provisions of Goodies Chinese bill, reported
favorably in the House yesterday, and says:
There is little doubt of its parsage by the
House. The representatives of the far Wes-
tern States are doing all in their power to
secure votes for the bill and the Blaine party
| in the House will support the measure for
the political benefit they hope will result to

voters OH the Pacific Slope.
Capital Notes.
CHICAGO, March 1.-THE Ister-Ocean's
Washington special says: About the House
| proceedings to-day the Democrats were in a
badly demoralized condition all through the
| session. Several members on that side want
to speak or offer amendments to the political
assessment bill, and joined the Republicans
in All effort to secure more time, while others
went so far as to vote for tabllng the whole
subject. Hostetter, Democrat, Of Indiana,
who for some i%nscrutable reason was made by
Speaker Randall chairman of the committee
| on civil service reform, and so has the bill In
charge, is a man of no force or standing, and
his bill is recognized, even on his W side Of
the House, as an unmitigated hnmbug.
At the extra session of Congress the bill to
extend the time for the completion of the
Northern Pacific railway was referred to the
subcommittee of the House committee on
railroads, consisting of Ellis, Chalmers, Will
Der, Newberry and Harmon. This committee
has been die until to-day, when it was called
together, and Ellis submitted some of the
report, which took strong grounds against the
passage of the bill on the ground that the
| Northern Pacific had forfeited all its claims to
about $4,000, 900 acres of land, and recon-
mended that it be either opened forsettlemen N
or transferred to some other company. There
were indications that the views VI Ellis were
concurred in by Chalmers and WILDER, but
they we're dissented from by Newberry and
Harmon. The reading OF the report was not
completed, and no action was taken. It is
understood that the Union and Central Pa
citic interests have been quietly working
