Tho Local Tobacco Market,

There is very little to be said about our
local market. Not more than ESQ cases Of
1870 have been sold within the past week.
Most Of the foreign buyers have left the
city, presumably to go home and vote,
but perhaps because holders Of tho crop
are little stiff in their views as to the
value Of the 1879 leaf. This stiffness is
caused first by 4 general rumor that the
tlca-bitten Pennsylvania crop Of 1880 is
curing badly, and second by report that
tie Connecticut crop Of 1880 is no better.
How much truth there may be in these
rumors will be ascertained to some extent
when the now crop is taken from the poles
and stripped. and this cannot be done until
4 season Of wet weather sets in.

CHAIRMAN HAENUM, in a letter to
the New Y York Posi-, fairly takes the hide
off of Chairman Jewell in the matter of
those dispatches, clearly showing him to
be guilty of Il very foolish lie, in addi-
tion to his original offense, in seeking to
explain that the kilograms were sent to
warn the Florida collector Of customs
against Democratic repeaters who were
being sent from New York. What did
the Democratic party want with re-
peaters in Florida, where there are no
Republicans to speak of Chairman
Jewell is in the ugly fix of charging that
the South is solid for Hancock and that
the Republican party has no chance there,
and at the same time charging that we
were sending Democratic repeaters there.
As it is admitted on all sides that these
kilograms of Mr.. JEWELS referred to
repeaters going to Florida, ii is out of
the question for any one to suppose that
they were anything but Republican re-
peaterS. that party alone having any use
for them

believe that it can be wrenched from its
moorings by any Republican device. The
Republicans profess to be hopeful of
Connecticut. That is Mr.. Barnum's
state. He does not propose to lose it,,
and New Hampshire is in excellent
shape and there is every probability Of
carrying it. In Maine there will not
likely lie slip-back from the September
result, while in California and Nevada
all the chances favoring the Democrats
have been greatly accelerated during the
past week.
In Pennsylvania, hopeful as we have
always believed it to be for Hancock,
there has been q very manifest change of
tone in the past few weeks. Manufac-
turers and corporations who were putting
up notices two weeks ago threatening to
cut down the wages of their employees
if they voted for Hancock are ROW get
ting their Democratic employees to pub
lish cards that they arc not intimidated
and that they propose to vote for Han
cock.
The change is going on in the right di-
rection and is going with an impetus that
cannot be checked.

Mail and Telegraph.

SAN FRANCISCO, April AT meet
ing of the Board of Supervisors last eve
ming, the Judiciary Committee, who had
been instructed to take into consideration
the addresses and utterances of Mayor
Kalloch, an! to report what, if any, in
cendiary language he has used publicly,
and to report proper action to he taken
by the Board in the premises, filed long
report reviewing the history of the labor
agitation and the part borne in it by
Kalloch, finding that he has encouraged
a lawless and discontented element, ad>
vised them to parade the streets and en-
deavorel to keep in such disposition and
temperament rs 10 commit an outbreak
whenever it should suit his purposes !;
that he has impeached the honesty of the
whole community, accused the various
branches OF the city government of cor
ruption and dereliction OF duty, and un>
der prstence OF counselling Il mot sgainst
violence, insidiously advised them to be
in readiness for bloodshed and ever
throw of the authorities. They expressed
the opinion that Kalloch is unprinciplrd
and unscrupalous and devoid of intcgri>
ty and fidelity to public interests, and
tha: the time has arrived for the Board
to express their condemnation OF his acts
and recommend that prompt action be
taken to indicate the fair fame of the
municipality by judicial inquiry into
Kallocll's case.
A motion to adopt the report was put
by Mayor Kalloch, who announced on
viva voce vote that it was carried. The
roll was called, resulting In an unanimous
vote for adoption.
A resolution was then adopted which
authorized the finance committee to cause
judicial proceedings to be instituted
against the Mayor for his removal from
office and empowering them to employ
counsel and prosecute the matter to
speedy termination. Throughout the
reading Of the report and the resolution,
Kalloch appeared cool and unm"yed. ap-
pesring to consider only tbs dignity OF
his position as presidin: officer of the
Board.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-Senator. Farley
to-day offered resolution which was
Immediately adopted by the Senate CALI
ing for copies of majority and minority
reports o. the Board of United States en-
gineers, who were empowered last year to
determine site for the construction of
harbor of refuge on the Pacific coast
somewhere between San Francisco and
the Straits of Fuca. The action of the
Board has been communicated to the
Chief Engineer, but he does not feel at
liberty to make the documents public in
advance of their submission to the Sc
cre:ary of War, for whom they are now
being copied, and by whom. in compli>
ance with Farley's resolutions, copies
will be sent to Congress as soon as COM
pleted. Your correspondent has, how
ever, asccrtained to-day that majority
of the Board have selected Port Oxford,
Oregon, as the poin. where the harbor of
refuge shall he constructed. The minor
ity recommend Trinidad, California, as
the best location; but as the law of last
year conferred the power OF absolute Sc :
lection upon majority OF the Board and
appropriated $15O,5O0 for commencing
the work, the present majority determi>
nation is final unless Congress shall ex
plicitly decide otherwise. The appropri>
alton is, however, to be expended under
direction OF the Secretary of War, hence
the necessity of submitting the report to
him for mis- order to commence opera
tons.

y signal Of distress. Uf the three little
steamers lying at the cape, the Rip Van
Wrinkle alone succeeded in the teeth of
the wind in crossing the north channel,
making tor the Webfoot, which reported
that two fishing boats, bottom up and
men clinging to them had drlfted past,
and she was unable to render any assis-
tance. Capt. Harris, in spite of heavy
sea and at great risk of his own life and
the safety of his little steamer, turn, d
her head to sea, and when near No 4
buoy, picked up both men and boats q, d
brought them safely into Bakers lay.
At the cape the crews Of GO fishing
boats held meeting and passed resclu
tions commendatory of the brave conduct
OF Capt. Harris, also resolving to collect
from the fishermen all amount sufficient
to procure a handsome medal commence
ratlye of his humane services.
would that your correspondent could
end this tale OF death and suffering here,
but the accompanying statements kindly
furnished at his request, one from Mr.. c.
Christensen who fishes for Mr.. G. W.
Hume. and the other from Mr. John Nc,
Neil, well known along shore in your
city as Chaplain Stubbs' second mate
and who in iurtherance of his work AS
an assistant missionary to the Portland
Seamen's Bethel has identified himself
with the Columbia river fishermen by
making himself one of them, will show
that the loss of life was not confined to
the immediate proximity OF the bar. Be-
sides these two statements, information
has been received that in the bay above
Tongue point, u man known rs Big Mike,
with three boats crews was lying at an
chor last night and an immense lot of
drittwood tloated down upon them with
such violence as to capsize two boats,
whereby six men were drowned. 1t is
impossible to make correct summary of
the total loss of either life or property
1t is roughly estimated. however, that
not less than 25 lives have been lost and
prnbx.ly 10 or Is boats and nets. 1t has
ais" been impossible to procure ths names
Of all who were lost; sone of then,
however, are old fishermen and highly
respected, and their untmely end his

munity.
