SAN FRANCISCO.
The City Excited but Quiet.
TURBULENT CONDUCT OF THE WORK
INGMEN'S REPRESENTATIVES.

NEW York, Feb. GA San Francisco des.
patch says that it is not true that the agitation
has assumed SOcialistiG aspect, nor is there
any good reason to believe that within a few
days mob will march on Chinatown. The
condemnation OF Chinatown meets with the
almost unanimous approval of citizens of all
classes. The corporations are daily discharg-
ing Chinese pending the Interpretation of the
law, and the relief movement would have been
actively progressing but for the violent ha-
rangues Of the last few days.
On the other hand the incendiarv laneuaoa
Of the agitators has alarmed and exasperated
the business classes and they are ready to arm
in self-defence. Both parties are lashing them
selves into fury over almost purely imaginary
and supposititious grounds of disagreement
to use all his influence with his followers to
keep the peace, but he probably recognizes the
fact that to maintain his influence over them
it is necessary to a certain extent to fall into
their ways of speech and action.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. N.-Last night was
exceptionally quiet. The working men held
no meetings except few minor ward club
news in connection with the agitation.
Kearney has made himself SO officious about
the Assembly chamber as to cause resolutions
to exclude him from the building.
A lively discussion wos occasioned in the
legislature by the following: Kingman, mem
Der from San Francisco, telegraphed to Kear-
ney, eve hear that you are erecting gallows
ing. gallows in Sacramento. Come up immedi-
ately and bring some hemp"
To-day a resolution was introduced to in
quire into the matter. Braunhart, working
man, OF San Francisco, refused to obey the
orders of the speaker to sit down and was sus-
pended three days. Subsequently Braunhart
appeared and demanded the right to vote. The
speaker ordered him removed as an intruder

Brown, side Wheel 173 tons burden, owned by
the Frontier Steamship Company of Calais,
was totally destroyed by fire this morning.
She had been hauled up in shipyard for three
months, and repairs of $1,000 made, and she
was to be put on the route between Eastport
and Calais March 4. She was bought in New
York thirteen years ago and has been running
between Calais and Eastport since. She was
valued at $4,000 The insurance ran out last
week. The captain does not know whether it
was renewed. The company has lost two
steamers by fire within seven years at the same

Twistings and Turnings Of a
Counted in Fusion Attorney.
FORGERY IN THE RETURN
FROM BERWICK.
An Fl. Changed to an A.

AUGUSTA, Feb. 27.-E. K. Smart, counted
in Fusion county attorney of Washington, tes-
titled before Mr.. Hale's committee, this after
noon. He was very verbose, and with many
words attempted to conceal the facts which
the committee desired to elicit. He testified
that before election he had been supplied with
documents coming, he thought, from Augusta,
among them blank senatorial return with Of
fetal envelope. He said he travelled quite ex-
tensively through the county and used this
blank and envelope to instruct town clerks as
to their duty. He found Fusion clerks already
remarkably well posted In case Republican
officials did not do their duty they were going
to elect officers pro tenn and have correct re-
turns made out. He offered to let the town
clerk of Marion have blank to make out
new return. The return from Robbinston was
made out for John 7. Wallace, Fusion candi-
date for senator, leaving the Jr. from his
name. Smart obtained an affidavit from
man who made his mark, who made oath that
he voted for John T. Wallace, Jr The re-
turn was shown to the committee and though
it was for John T. Wallace it was counted for
John I. Wallace, Jr., and so put in the tabu-
confessed to having had correspondence with
Pillsbury, Stacy and S. D. Leavitt, but did not
bring their letters with him. He kept himself
supplied with afidavsts ready for use, and
when asked his object replied "for prudential
reasons"
John H. Stillings, town clerk of Berwick,
appeared before the committee and testified in
regard to the return from his town. The name
of one Of the Republican candidates for sena-
tor, Hon. Geo. H. Wakefield, had been
changed to George A. Wakefield, it being
done by closing the top of the H. with a semi
circle. AS soon as Mr.. Stillings put his eye
upon it he pronounced it a glazing forgery.
He had never made a capital A in that form.
When the return left his hand it was a plain
III. When Garcelon's first tabulation was
made out it showed 25S votes for George II.
Wakefield; that was erased with knife or
other sharp instrument, and further down ap-
peared the 258 votes for Geo. A. Wakefield to
compare with the forged return. Thus Mr..
Wakefield was counted out and Fusionist
counted in instead. @

AUGUSTA, Feb. 27.-The following letter is
from the Fusion archives:
BRIDGToN, Dec. 9th, 1879.
To His Excellency Governor Garcelon:
Enclosed please find an affidavit OF one of
the bribed voters of our town. We believe
there are many instances of this kind in our
town, and that before our next legislature con-
venes we expect to be able to prove fraud of
the most damaging nature We believe that
Mr.. Bradstreets election is due to similar cases
of fraud as the one herein contained.
Your obedient servants,
K. A. GIBBS,
DANIEL w. PROCTOR.
The above statement will fall with but little
weight on those who know the parties signing
it. One of them is gentleman ~ so contain
mated with fraud, dishonesty. and unfair deal
ing, that the Cumberland Bar Association af
ter an exhaustive trial, expelled him from that
association flor swindling an IDIOT; man
whose western trip it is said, added no new
lustre to his character. In fact those who
know him will consider it a compliment to
have him thus attempt to abuse them, for it
demonstrates to the public that they do not be-
long to his tribe. AS to the other gentleman ~
he is excusable in that he was dazzled by hope
of office.
The State valuation commission, to-day, had
their time fully engrossed with their labors.
This forenoon was occupied in examining the
valuation books and returns. An order was

when the commission were ready to hear them
to the hes. advantage, after their tabulations
were made. An order was discussed relative
to the method of obtaining accurate informa-
ton about bank stock owned in the several
towns, the returns in many case showing only
the valuation in gross without furnishing the
lumber or par value of shares This order
was referred to the committee on5banks. This
afternoon, in the absence of the chairman,
Eben Woodbury. of Aroostook, was chosen
chairman pro tenn. The commission heard
John Burnham of Sherman, who represented
that town, Island Falls, Ashland, Masardis,
Benedicta, Smyrna and several plantations.
A large number of measures were disposed
of in the legislature, to-day, and several COM
mittees made final reports. The debates were
