The Result OF a Political Quarrel.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 13.-Railroad Commits
sioner Beerstecher was shot last night by An
tone Fischer. His assailant was President of
the German Workingmen's club. Both have
been close political friends, but after the
election Of Beerstecher to the commissioner
ship and the defeat of Fischer as a candidate
for Recorder, the latter became the enemy of
Beerstecher. 1t is hoped the wound is not
and shows evidence of disordered mind. He
processes to know nothing of Beerstecher
and says If he had not been arrested he would
have shot Mayor Kalloch and number of
prominent stockholders. Fischer is rabid

SENATOR BAYARD.
The Philadelphia Press Asserts that It's
Report Of His Speech is Correct.

nepOrC OF his speech lS correct.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 13.-The Press said to-
day of Mr.. Bayard's statement:-"Mr. Bayard
says that the staff correspondent of the Press
received letter from him in which he stated
the falsity and malice of the report of his
speech. This is true. The letter was private
and contained other matters When that
statement was communicated to the editor of
the Press, the staff correspondent was author
lied to say to Mr.. Bayard that the Press would
gladly print whatever he might say on the SUBJ
Ject. To that suggestion no response was made.
Since Mr.. Bayard now speaks Of the report eff
his speech as an anonymous communication so
irresponsbly made it is due to the truth to say
that it came from thoroughly responsible
source, and that it was verbatim report.
Pains have since been taken to verify it. Its
authenticity is confirmed not merely by the re-
porter who made it but by many citizens of
Dover who heard the speech, and whose atten-
tlon was particularly attracted at the time by
the extraordinary character of this accusation.
The case will not be complete until this
testimony is presented

Nations took enormously, but all the
localisms of the play fell fat. When
the stove fell down, in the third act, it
all went for nothing. The audience
didn't see anything funny in that. On
the other hand, the trial scene, which
we consider rather ordinary, was one of
the few redeeming features OF the play
in. the eyes of the Londoners. They
were almost willing to regard that much
of it as a success

COLONEL TAYLOR EXPLAINS.

Colonel r. H. Taylor, one of the Gar
field Presidential electoral candidates in
Nevada, was so virulent a Secessionist
during the late war that the Union men
in the western part of the State, serl-
ously considered the propriety of send
ing him to Fort Churchill, to, silence
him. He then advocated. the doctrine
of secession, and held that State had
the right. to. secede at will, and that the
Federal Government, had. no right
nnden the Constitution, to coerce it.
He agreed with jeff, Davis, and de-
nounced Abe Lincoln as tyrant and
the Union soldiers as Lincoln hirelings.
He was one of the loudest- mouthed,
Copperheads in Nevada all through the
var, and detested War Democrats fully
rs much as he did. Republicans For
years after. the close of the rebellion he
seemed to retire from the public gaze,
&c. mourn. oyer, the "Lost Cause" and
next made his appearance in the politl-
cal arena in 1872, in opposition to the
slection of Horace Greeley. Then he
was engaged to stump the State by the
Republicans, not as Republican, but
AZ a representative Copperhead, to in
duence his old associates against voting
for one of the founders of the Repub-.
Ecan party. Now, he, appears as a.
full-fedged Republican ;. and having
been defeated, for the nomination of
Supreme Judge in the State Conyena
zion at Carson, he was placed on the
tacket as one of the Presidential Elect
ers, and essays to teach old Union men
their duty in. the present campaign.
The other night in a speech at Gold.
Hill Colonel Taylor attempted to ex-
plain. how he suddenly became convert-
ed from q blatant secessionist to radi-
cal Republican. He said he stayed with
the Ccpperheads as long as. he believed
their principles to be good and patriotic.
Taking the Colonel at his word and &C.
oepuing his explanation, of his change
Of politics, it shows that he believed
the principles of the. Copperhead wing
OF the Democratic party to be good and
patriotic only SO long as they advocated
tho right. of secession and denounced
those who advocated the preservation
Of the Union at whatever cost. When
The Democratic party accepted, as Wade
Hampton says, the results of the war
as embodied in. the constitutional
amendments, Colonel Taylor considered
It's principles no longer good and patri-
otto, and he left it.. That he had an in
disputed right to do so is not question
3D.. but that he is the right kind of per-
sen to send around the country to teach
Union men their duty is, to say the
least, very questionable.
The, idea of Colonel Taylor, the seces-
sionist, insinuating from the stump that
General Hancock, the Union. soldier, is
not safe to trust at the head of the Gov
ernment, because of his. sympathies
with the South, must strike his hearers
~ being extremely ridiculous.

TELEGRAPHIC ITEMS.

The steamer Marine City,. running
between Mackinac, Detroit and Cleve-
land, took fire ct 2 o'clock Sunday
morning, two miles. from Altoona, and
burned to the waters edge. She had a
large load of passengers, of whom 100
are reported to be saved. The Marine
City was, steaming on, her way down
from Mackinac with fall load Of
freight and passengers. About O'Clock
the flames becoming unmanageable, the
efforts of the crew were at once directed
to saving tae passengers. The ting
Vulcan was fortunately in sight and
FASTENED to the relief, as did also the
boats of the life-saving station at the
Point and several small boats from the
shore. These picked up large number
of persons from the water, chiefly from
Detroit, Port. Hudson and up-shore
ports.
A leading Democrat. Of California,
and candidate for Elector at Large,
writes to the Congressional Committee
rooms az Washington that the Republic
can leaders are attempting to commit
frauds in registration and voting at the
next election J. and this is so openly
/
done that it has excited some indigna-
ton among honest people, irrespective
of party; The Republican Governor
has just removed the Registrar long in
/ office, and who had the confidence of
everybody and of all parties, and has
placed in his stead as Registrar a man
who came from Louisiana :. who was
trained there, as it is said, under Gov
ernor Warmoth, and conducted the reg
istration in East Felinciana, in that
State, until it became necessary for him
to flee the country.
On the evening of the goth, the Grand
Jury Of MERGED county, Cal, presented
twenty-seven more indictments against
county, officials for embedding public
moneys. and one Indictment against
James Merton for burning his dwelling
house in MERGED with intent to defraud
the insurers. The report of the Grand
Jury shows that only the Treasurer's
books have been examined by the ex-
pert. The deficit of George Turner,
ex-Treasurer, is SIT, 49l so. The re-
port discloses a .condition OF things un-
excelled by any ring in California or

special says: There are indications that

Democratic speakers returning from

that they have no hope Of success. The
contest will be. continued simply by
local speakers.
