California WorIkinrmen.

San Francisco, l9.-In the working
mems convention, to-day, communities
ton from Denis Kearney was read, favor
ing the sending of delegates to the ma
tional green back labor convention. After
q warm discussion, lasting nearly all
day, the convention, by vote of 90 to
Y, adopted the communication as the sense
Of the convention. a motion to adjourn
prevailed at pm. Although the vote
was clearly to the contrary, and most OF
the city delegates, with a few country
members, retired, the remainder organ
lied as q majority Of the conven-
ton, holding that adjournment
was not carried, with vice-President
Milton in the chair. Some discussion
took place which showed there was no
general desire to split the convention,
and the meeting adjourned to meet with
the whole convention IN the evening,
preferring to place the responsibility of
a split, il any occurred, on the other
side. The meeting then Immediately
as q caucus and came 10 IN
understanding to hold together on the
of the convention. That
portion Of the convention which retired
at the o'clock adjournment represents
the interest in favor of a bargain with
the democracy, while those who re-
manned endorsed Kesrney's proposition
20 affiliate with the greenbAckers. A
warm time is probable this evening, as
the city delegates expect to drum up
enough abEentees TO carry their point.

Nevada, Past and Present.

New York, 19.-At the meeting of the
Bullion Club, last evening, G. l.. Can
field. of Eureka, Nevada, read a paper
on the "Past and Present Of Eastern
Nevada" Garfield first gave a sketch
of the country as it was more than twenty
years ago, before the touch of the magic
silver wand turned the arid barren region
into a scene of activity and excitement.
He told them how the town of Austin
fourished until it had population Of
10000 and how subsequently it fell away
to a few hundred; the impression having
gone abroad that the soil was worked
out, while in truth, although the place
had yielded untold wealth, it had hardly
been scratched over. In 1867 followed
the White Pine hegira and the discovery
of the famous Eberhart Mine, the ore
from which was almost solid mass of
silver. After the first rush rapid de-
cline set in and the property fell into the
hands Of English capitalists, and at pre-
sent through their enterprise, the proba-
bihty is that good results will be imme-
diately achieved. The Eureka district,
the lecturer claimed, contained the big
gCst ore bodies in the world. 1t had
come into existence without 'boOm, :"
and it had been worked by conservative
progress. The Richmond Consolidated
Mines have ore which at 8 moderate
calculation would yield $4,000, 600.
There had been taken from the Eureka
Mine ore which, if placed on three acre
lot would make a pile 100 feet high. yet
at ore time the mine had been offered for
sale at So, 500 without finding a purchaser.
Since then the district has yielded oyer
$50, 900, 900. and no estimate could be
formed of what it would yet return.
After the paper had been read the
secretary announced thst the club mad
secured rooms at No. 137 Broadway for
the exclusive use Of members during
the summer months.

New York, 19.-The Worlds WASH

amusing circumstance that a memorial
is floating about the capitol, signed by
one Frances Vincent which contemplate
the annexation of Great Britain to the
United States. The memorialist's theory
is that all English speaking nations should
be gathered under one government, and
be proposes to make England one state,
its executive being hereditary, and its
legislature consisting Of one hereditary
chamber and the other elected by the
people. Ireland and Scotland arc to be
separate states, choosing their own exc
cutives and legislatures, and all these
states are to send representatives TO the
American congress.

Fargo, 19.-An interview with nearly
100 farmers from various sections of the

ton among them is that crop prospects
were never better. Wheat is 20 per cent.

the Northern Pacific last year was 5000,
900 bushels; the acreage and prospect for

New York, 19.-The weather yesteT-

Several attempts at rain failed after a
month or two OF trial. The country IS
fast drying up and the air is filed with
the smoke of adjscent forest fires for two
weeks past. Prayers for rain continue
in the churches. 1t is estimated that a
copious rain would save million dollars

seems good. Several journals direct
attention that this is the hundredth
anniversary Of The celebrated "dark dsy"

ACCORDING to Republican testimony
General Garfield entered into negotia-
tions with Oakes Ames, whereby he
received certain number of shares of
Credit Mobilier stock, which Mr..
Ames said he always "placed where
it would do most good" and according
to the same testimony General Gar
field accepted "fee" of $4,000 from
the De Golyer pavem ent ring to aid
them in securing contract from the
Board of Public Works of the District
of Columbia. General Garfield was at
the time he received the "fee" chair
man of the Committee on Appropria-
tions and was expected to use his Off
cial influence to further the interest of
the ring afore said. Up to the present
time neither General Garfield nor any
Of his friends has vouchsafed to the
pnblic satisfactory explanation OF
these damaging charges against him,
and therefore we are forced to conclude
hat, taking one consideration with
another, his lot is not happy one.

The Census of south Caro-
lima.

The Washington correspondent q the
Herald says: The total vote OF South
Carolina in 1876 was 1916, OF which
Mr.. HAYES received VI $40 and Mr.. Tllden
9O,906 The proportion IL one to every
Ave Inhabitants an average that holus
good throughout the country, ana py
which the population OF anv State can De
correctly estimated when the tull vote
of that State is known to have been cast.
According to thus rule South Carolina,
at the close of the centennial, even as
suming that every vote in that State was
cast must have had q population OF 9l5,-
100, and since then the Increase claimed
in three years and'seven months Is only
&C, 900. The Congressional vote that wear
when three of the five members elt G. ed
were republicans Z eXceeded the Presiden-
tial vete the aggregate being nearly 1856,
90, representing a population of $50 900.
The Congressional vote Of South Carolina
polled In 1873, when not two-thlrds OF
the republican vote ofprevious years was
cast, was nearly 175,000. This view OF
the census seems TO have escaped the no-
tice of the critics, but not OF the Presi-
dent, who, as above said, at one time
thought il might be necessary for the
credit Of the Census Bureau to have the
State OF South Carolina recanvassed. but
who now plainly sees that the accuracy
of the present returns caunot be very well
questioned without charging that the
Presidential vote of 1886 was manufac-
tured for party purposes, and that the
suspicious would be stronger against the
republican than the democratic party.

IT really appears that the Radical
party is desirous of another war upon
the South; so open and heartlessly do
they denounce without cause every
man that lives in a Southern State
who will not vote to put negroes in
power and keep them in power in
those States, in order that Radicals
may keep their official positions under
the United States government. They
killed a man last night in Chester; but
he did not prove to be the Democratic
voter they designed to shoot. Had this
been done in the South and a negro
made to bite the dust, an army of U.
S. dragons would have been demand
ed, and the neighborhood been requir-
ed to be placed under martial law
But it was only the murder Of a sup
posed Democrat in the North-that
was all.

A RATHER QUESTIONABLE JOKE

Thoroughly angered, the engineer CHM

The Law Condemns HIM

From the n. Y. sun.
Mem bers of Congress and some high of.
ticials who shouted loudest for vigorous
prosecution of the civil war, were dis
covered to be tainted with jobbery and
the sale of offices before a year had
elapsed after the firing on Fort Sumter.
They illustrsted literally Dr. Johnson's
definition OF patriotism. 1t became nee.
essary to make this venality penal of.
fence, and Congress passed the following
act on July 16, 1862, recited IN the Re.
vised Statutes:
"SEoTIoN 1871. Every member ot
Congrt ss, or any officer or agent of the
Government who, directly or indirectly,
takes, receives, or agrees 10 receive any
money, property, or other valuable con
slderatlon whatever, from any person for
procuring or aiding to procure any con
,ract, office, or place from the Govern
ment or any department thereof, or from
any officer of the United States for any
person whatever, and every
member of Congress who, Directly or in
directly, takes, receives, or agrees to re-
cetve any money, property, or other val
liable consideration whatever after his
election as such mem her, for his attention

any question, matter, cause, or proceed
which may then be pending, or may by
law or under the Constitution be broupht
before him in his official capacity or in
his place as such member Of Congress
shall be deemed guilty of d misdemeanor
and shall be Imprisoned not more than
two years, and fined not more than ter
thousand dollars"
Under this statute Gen. Garfield wa
guilty of a misdemeanor, in procuring
or aiding to procHre" the contract fer the
De Golyer pavement, for which he re-
ceived bribe Of five thousand dollars
