KEARNEY's POLITICAL CONVICTION.
NEW YORK, April 1.-The Times says:
"At the election for commission of free
holders of San Francisco, the Kearneyites
have been defeated, their candidate for
state senator to fill vacancy, has also
been defeated. The successful party is
the citizens union. This organization was
brought into existence by violence Of the
sand lot men. The candidates were en-.
dorsed by the republicans, and by the
more reputable wing of the democratic
party. The lightEess of the whole vote
! cast is ascribed to the failure of the So
called wo-kingmen to go to the polls, Kear-
ney and his leaders are furious at this un.
expected turn of the affairs. which, COM
ing as it does directly the conviction
and sentence of Kearney and his lieuten-
ant, apparently settles the fate of the agi-
tators. There is some talk of throwing
out the Kearney vote on the ground that
the ballots were printed in a manner con
trary to law but this is probably the idle
breath of desperate and defeated men.
RAILROAD RACKET.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-The House
committee on railroads yesterday declared
the grant of the New Orleans, Baten
Rouge & Vicksbur rg railroad forfeited
and should be opened to settlement. The
case of this road is similar to the North
ern Pacific but numbers of the commits
sioners claim this action is but the first
step in the series and the commissioners
will take similar action towards all roads
where terms have expired.
NEW RAILROAD BILL
WARRINGTON, April "A bill entitled
"An act to complete the Pacific railroad
system" and other purposes was reported
to the house by Chalmers yesterday. 1t
proposes to restore to the government the
one hundred and six million five hundred
thousand acres of land granted the south
ern, Northern, Atlantic and Pacific rail
roads, and reserve from their sale two dol
lars per acre for the creation of a fund of
$213 900, 900 to be loaned to railroads up
on certain prescribed conditions, provis-
ions made that it will not interfere with
homestead entry and at the same time to
do justice and equity to those who lost
legal right to lands during thegreat fnan-
cial crisis.
OUR AMERICAN CROEsUs.
New York, April at is rulnored
that Vanderbilt desires to sell out his in
terests in various railroads and put the
money into government bonds, wishing
TO be relieved from the burden of respon-
sibility. 1t is known he has some 30O,-
900 out of 100000 shares Of New York
Central, and it is thought that another
100000 shares were sold to the syndicate
yesterday. 1t is also thought that Jay
Gould is aiming to get control ofthe New
York Central and also trying to buy Van
dcrbilt's interest in the Western Union
telegraph before the election of directors
of that company in October.
NEITHER GET THERE.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-The house CON-
mittee on elections today by a vote of six
10 FIVE decided that Washburne is not en-
titled to seat and by an eight to tour
vote declare that Donnelly is not entitled
to a seat either. Donnelly charges Sprin
ger with bad faith.
EUROPEAN ELECTIONS.
NEW YoKA, April 2-Cablegrams state
that the elections in Great Britain has SO
far resulted in decided liberal gains and
there is no doubt but that Beacons6eld's
government is at an end. The only ques-
ton now seems to be as to the liberals
having sufficient preponderance to make
distinctive liberal policy possible. Glad
stone is elected in Leeds.
WOULDN'T HAVE THE PRESIDENCY.
NEW YORK, April 1.-The Herald
special says: "Scnator Edmunds is re-
ported by his friends to be extremely
averse to the presidential nomination for
himself. He is even, it is said. inclined
to write public letter declining. In his
refusal to ACCEPT the nomination, in u
conversation with other senators, he is
reported to have exclaimed, L see not a
single feature in the presidential office
that would please me!' What said a
hcarer, mot even the power to veto bills? 2?
at which home thrust at his we'll known
critical habit Edmunds had to join in the
general outburst Of laughter. u
