ALL SPLIT UP.

The new California legislature il all
split up. From . pamphlet just Issued By
the Secretary of State, in which . complete
List of the members il given, the recaPituls-
ton shows that there are seven diderent
kinds of politics represented in the Senate
sad nine in he House. The Senate con
dsss of forty members, divided . follow :
Republican, q; Democrats, 5; Working
men, 8; Workingmen and New Const1su-
ton, L; Workingmen, New Constitution
and Republican, L; New Constitution and
Democrats, 2; Workingmen, New Constitu-
ton and Democrat, l. In the House there
there are eighty members, divided a. fol-
lows: Republicans, 81; Democrats. IA;
workingmen, II; New Constitution and
Republicans, 2; New Constitution and
Workingmen. 3; New Constitution and
Democrats, 2; Workingmen and Repubii'
cans, 8; New Constitution, l 4; Union, l.
The Republicans have . clear majority IN
the Senate, and lack but four in the HOUSE,
which number they will doubtless be able
to pick up from among those of Republic
can predictions elected On fusion tickeo'
When the Legislature gets to work there
will likely be but three parties to consider
the Republicans, Democrats and Work
ingmen, and it is easy to see that the he
publicans will hold the control.

The Philadelphia Times cordially en-
dosu,s the course of the Postmaster General
in Publishing . "black List" Of lottery
agents and dealers 10 whom the paymest OF
money or delivery of letters is prohibited.
1t thinks the government is fully justified
in thus guarding the easily duped citi.ens
against throwing heir money aw'y on pre-
tsutious frauds, and that Postra sstsr4den-
srai Key deserves infinite credit fof his
persistent warfare on the thousand and one
forms of swindling that infest the mails
and play upon the credulous through the
newspaper, and he should have the out
spoken support of every moral influence

ter. On the other hand, the Globe Demooul

HOW 1T WAS DONE.

Everybody remembers the great Chicago
Savings Bank fsilure-when Spencer, the
President of the bank absconded, taking
With him the funds of depositers to the
sum of hundreds of thousands. Spencer
has now been found, somewhere in Europe,
has been interviewed by q newspaper re-
porter, and gives the public view OF the
inside working of the concern, showing
how it was done. The Tribune gives an
account of how Spencer obtained control OF
the stock, from which We copy as follows:
spencer's first purchase OF the stock was
prob .bly q bona fde payment OF money
which he drew out of the Cook County Ma
tional Bank. Amer he had secured Pisce
In the management OF the State Savings In
stitution, however, and had begun to buy In
all the stock he could get in order TO secure
complete control of the institution, the pro-
cess seems, from his own admissions u
have been something like the following
.Jones," we will say, was the owner OF sl.OU
worth of stock for which he had paid elW IL
cash and given his note for $500; Spencer VA
willing to give "Joues" 40 per cent for th'
| latter's stock, or $4,000; thereupon spencer
gave .sJonesu the lattar's note for $500 ane
deposit d bis own In place of II. and ais
took g. 100 Of the money in bank (oeiongin'
to the depository, paid the sum over u
"Jones, /" and deposited another OF his (3pen
cers) po,es for the amount OF money thu
withdrawn. spencer scarcely disguises thi
| plan of operations in his statement OF IN
| stock purchases. Indeed, he says: TN
ockbolders knew all the time that wa
borrowing the money to buy out their instl
tution." II Is Gully this theory that ca
nationally account for the enormous sum
represent ted BY Spencer's notes. II Spencer
statements be true, Il is apparent that q iarG
part OF the los that fell upon the deposito
went into the pockets of the stolxho!de
| who sold Out to Spencer. having been take
from the vaults by the latter to make the pa!
ments, and that tue original stock holders r
] ceiyed about $4,000 of tue Deposition none
, for every 500 OF their own which they P'
into the concern. 1t is evidently with rees'
to these transactions that Spencer deciar
, himself able and willing, II the indfotmel
} against him be removed, to point out to d
posters snow and where they may nr
property, II not money, &c reimburse then
selves for their losses" This statement
D evidently based upon the assumption Tn
1 the selling stockholders knew where Spenc
h was getting the money to pay for the STU
ne purchased from them.
