Police Notes.


 The notorious negro John Van Dyke was ar guilty of indecent assaults on little boys and girls living in the western part of the city, enticing the children into the basement of house where he was permitted to go under the pretext of doing little jobs on work bench. The family who lived in the house did not know Van Dyke's character or they never would have allowed him about their premises. One of the children who had been enticed to the place by the villain told his parents what was going on and named over twenty children that Van Dyke had assault ed, and all of them belonging to respectable families. When the fact came out there was general search for Van Dyke and had he been found by some of the outraged fathers before Chief Webster arrested him he would, undoubtedly, have been killed.
 This is not the first or second time that Van Dyke has been arrested for offenses of similar character. In February, 1863, he was sent to the county jail for twelve similar assaults, and his fines and sentences kept him there until June, 1875. His time had not then expired, but he was released on peti-
 
 that the scoundre1 should be set at liberty. Previous to this time he had serveda term in jail on charges of similar character, and about 8 year ago he was sent to jail from Wa terbury for six months for an offence of like character committed there. The best thing to be done with him, if the lawa would per init it, would be to send him to State prison to remain during the natural term of his life.

a STRANGE ATTACK.


Inc Irish o6structionists in the English
House of Commons have never exhibited
much regard for the decences of parlis-
lnentary discussion, but the late attack OF
O'Donnell upon the Minister of friendly
power, under cover Of motion, appears
to have gone considerably beyond the
usual violations Of decorum INDUCED in by
these guerrilla members. Mr.. Gladstone
perhaps dill no. mend matters by attempt
ing to choke OF O'Donn5ll under an obso-
lete rule, but it was nevertheless obvious
that the lstters performance was inspired
by what Artemus Ward would nave called
pure cussedness, and that his only OBJ
Iect was 10 embarrass and make trouble
Tor The Government The Irish Home
Rale members will barn their fingers with
their policy of obstruction and mischief
making. The manifest frivolity OF their
programme, and their notorious purpose to
obstruct necessary legislation and so check
the progress Of the Government, will pres
emily create feeling against them fatal to
the extension of any further concessions to
ireland. They are in fact playing directly
into the hands of their enemies, and the
most singular thing is that they seem in
capable OF perceiving this.

THE NEXT CONVENTION.

The Democratic clans are gathering at
Cincinnati, but though rumors and reports
are plentiful, it Is still impossible to dis
Germ any definite scheme of action. The
leading politicians are apparently quite
adrift as to the course to be pursued. Most
of them seem to be in the same mental at
titude as the California delegation is cred
tied with, being on the look out for indi-
cations, and being ready to so wherever
the most strength is shown. The reports
about Seymour are conflicting. He is rep
resented now as saying he is not a candi.
date, but that he has authorized no one to
assert that he would refuse the nomination
II politicians talked like other people this
would be equivalent to a declaration OF
readiness to accept the nomination if of.
fered, and if Seymour really said anything
of the kind (which of course is very doubt
full, the Convention will be very apt to
take him at his word. 1t is intimated that
the recent statements relative to his
physical disabilities have emanatcd from
Tilden's agents. Have the coineident re.
ports of Tilden's physical disabilities ena-

Gil aDST0NE'S Budget.

Gladstone appears TO have brought his
wonderful financial powers into play once
more in the construction OF the budget,
and to have prepared surprise both for
his friends and foes. The most mastery
stroke in the new budget seems to be the
repeal Of the malt tax, and the substitu-
ton OF an additional penny in the
pound to the income tax. BY this change
the Chancellor of the Exchequer has
achieved double gain. lie has relieved
the agricultural interest at period of un-
precedented depression, by making an ad-
dition 10 the income tax which VIII hardly
be felt /; and he has by the same measure
deprived the Tories of one of their most
important aids, namely, the dissatis-
faction OF the agricultural interest
with the existing situation. This
part OF The budget. in fact, is a
real tour dc force, almost more ia
Beaconsfeld's line than Gladstone's. 1t
is, however. more than that, for its po-
htical subtlety is only one feature Of it,
The actual relief aa'orled the farmers being
the principal consideration. 1t is said that
the Premier Chancellor had kept the de
tails Of the rev bud set to himself until he
went Gown to the House to unfold them,
and that the most popular propositions in
1t were quite as new 10 his colleague as to
the opposition. However this may be, it
IS Sufficiently evident that he has not lost
MS astonishing mastery of finance, and
that he continues to be the bes! Chancellor
Of the Exchequer England has ever had.

TALK ABOUT The ELECTORAL COUNT.

The Democrats at Washington appear to
have invented Plan of managing the
electoral count, for the Republicans. The
gist Of il is that the latter contemplate re-
sistance to the counting in of Democrat
il the event OF his nominal election. OF
course there is no foundation for any such
story bu5 such as is afforded by Demo
cratic consciousness Of an indGiensible po-
sision They know that if their candidate
should secure majority of electoral votes
through the suppression of Republican
votes throughout the South, it would not
be real or honest victory, and it would
not deserve TO succeed. They are going
into this campaign with stocked cards, and
naturally enough they are af-aid that they
vii be accused OF cheating As The case
stands i is impossible for them to elect
their candidate fairly, and they can only
make an apparent election by violating the
American theory of government in the
most outrageous manner. 1t is, however,
extremely improbable that they will have
the opportunity for even pretending to be-
Iieve that they have carried the day, for no
matter who they nominate at Cincinnati
will be beaten by Garfield.

HoLLIsTER, June 15th-O. A. Payne, who
was killed last Sunday by the Portuguese
francisco Josa, had large quantity of land
Inclosed on the mountains between the Tres
Pinos and San Benito rivers where he lived.
On last Saturday the Portuguese who was
taking care of sheep belonging to his brother,
resident of San Francisco, turned his sheep
inside Payne's inclosure, who, in company
with young man in his employ, turned them
out, and told the Portuguese not to put them
in there again, when he answered that he
would herd them there if he chose. The
next morning Sunday Payne, in company
with his young man, went out into the field,
found the sheep there, attempted to drive
them out, when they were met by the Por-
stop driving the sheep out of the field. Upon
his continuing to drive them he shot him
twice with a shotgun. and after he was on
TIE ground beat him on the head with the
gun, and then took Payne's own pistol and

MINING NOTES.

Active operations in mining are now
going on at Wards Ravine, some two miles
from Folsom.
The Nevada transcript learns that steps
are to be taken in that county to enforce
the law requiring mining interpretations to
post monthly statements of their affairs.
A rich strike in gold bearing quartz is
reported near Alillerton, on the San Joa-
quin river. A vein twelve feet thick, and
said to be very rich in free gold, has been
found.
Gold dust is being brought to Oroville
in large quantities from the mountains.
The large amount of melting snow piled
up in the mountains will make an abund-
ance of water for the miners.
a new preparation, made of 100 parts of
copper, II oil pure tin, 6 Of manganese, Q
Of common tartar. $50 OF ammonia and
/. 60 of chalk, forms, it is said, an excel
lent imitation Of gold, from which it can
only be distinguished by the difference in
weight. This metal can be worked almost
as thin as gold-Ieaf.
Owing to the heat on the lower levels of
the Sierra Nevada mine, about twenty
miners have been laid off until connection
is made with the ., 500 station from the
Union shaft. The air furnished the men
who were at work on the 2,400 level was
drawn by the blower from the main III
cline, and it's temperature at that point was
80 degrees, and therefore it did little to-
ward cooling off the heated drifts and
crosscuts.
The mining interests OF the country
look brighter than ever before, says the
Orovillc Mercury. Immense beds of
gravel are only waiting for water to wash
out the gold that is in them. And now
ditch capable of carrying three thousand
inches OF water is fast being built, and
thus the great want will be supplied in a
great degree. Almost every day men with
money-new men-arrive il town and look
at the different pieces OF mining property.
The Bald Mountain Company, of Forest
City, have adopted a new method OF work
ing their mine, says the Downieville Mes
SeRger. Instead of hiring the work done
by the day large portion of the hands
are now working by the piece. For run
ming the main tunnel So 90 per foot is
paid. For each carload of gravel 60 to so
cents is the price allowed. Some Of those
employed objected at first, but most of the
men went to work on these terms on Mon
day. It is said that fair wages can be
made at these figures.
