New YORK, May 9.
The Worlds Washington special says
1t has been learned that the cause Of
Mahone's discontinue, which was notice
able nearly all of last week in the Senate,
was the information that the President
had decided not to give him the entire
patronage of Virginia, which he had been
led to believe he would get The manly
stand taken by the strajght-out Repub.
licans of Virginia, who refuse to ally
themselves with Malone in State affairs,
together with the fact that the Republi.
cans outnumber the Repudiators, has
compelled the President to acknowledge
the Republicanism of Virginia, and he
has decided to bestow at least hall of the
State patronage upon his own party.
The first steps having thus been taken
toward breaking away from Malone, it
will not be difficult for the President to
take Others. Considering also that the
Republicans in the Senate urge him to
withdraw Riddleberger, and that the
Democrats will not allow Gorham to be
elected, it begins to look as though Ma
hone would not realize much on his vote.
Even Conkling in the hope of Democratic
favor for his own purposes, has lately
held aloof from Malone, although his
alleged sympathies were conveyed to him
at length, and with due feeling, through
Platt.

smallpox in the London hospital, and
only one bed available. The epidemic
has much increased latterly. About 10
per cent of the cases prove fatal.

The Prince receives $4,000 francs per

soldiers in light blue uniform and his
twenty gendarmes in cooked hats are
clothed and maintained from the same
source. The number of suicides last year
traceable to losses at the tables is Off

number of delinquencies attributable to
the same cause as forty seven. A gentle
man of high official position at Nice es-
Inmates the real number Of suicides at an
average of about three a week. The
local journals for obvious reasons do not
encourage the publication of these details,

by means of a revolver as lamentable
example of the uncautious use of fire.

tinues to exist among q few Of the chloriders
who have had ore worked at the Meadow Valley
Compsny's mill, as to the unfair dealing Of the
Superintendent and his employees, and the
threats Of persona. violence which have been
uttered against him, l request you to commune
cate to those chloriders, whose interests you
represent, the following proposition:
tion as to the workings Of oil ores at the
Meadow Valley MILL and for the purpose OF this
investigation. suggest that an expert shall be
appointed, who will examine our books; and,
also, that oil the men at the mill, who have any
thing to do with the handling OF ores, shall be
submitted before notary public for strict ex-
animation on their oaths. I propose to prove
by this course, beyond even possibility OF 9
doubt, that we have not produced more bullion
from the ores and tsilings worked since the mill
started than the assays will give. emphatic.

on the honest workings Of the Mesdow Valley

Yes, I knew him." the Texas sheriff
remarked, when somebody asked him
about Red Handed Bill; 81 never met
him but once; he came down here last
February, riding another mans mule, and
he came in and left the measure of his
neck with me for lariat." "Did you
fit him." asked the traveller. "Not very
well, said the sheriff; blamed thing
was too tight, but he never said anything
about it after he tried it on, so l didn't
change it." And then the committee
rose and reported the bill to the house,

Notwithstanding the denial that the
Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Company
had bargained with local company for
entrance into Oakland, says the San
Francisco Call, it is still claimed by per-
sons who ought to know, that there was
truth in the report. There is not much
doubt that the Atlantic and Pacific Rail-
road, majority of the stock of which is
owned by the same persons who control
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe road,
intend to construct q railroad to San
Francisco as soon as possible.

called on Glasgow trader for the usual

this gentleman professed his inability to

demur this was accepted and the neces-

The New York World in commenting
editorially on General Grants speech in
Mexico says: General Grants speech
in the City Of Mexico is highly credit
able not only to his Judgment but to his
courage and his common sense. While his
own countrymen know that nothing could
well be more idiotic than the notion OF
an alliance between ex-President Grant
and ex-President Diaz for the purpose of
establishing an American protectorate in
Mexico with General Grant at its head,
it was spirited and sensible thing on the
part of General Grant to take the trouble
of exploding the suspicious and anxieties
aroused on this subject by designing men
among people unfamiliar with American
politics and American ideas. His frank
admission OF his own failure to secure
the annexation of Santo Domingo was
the most effective illustration he could
have given the Mexicans of the limits of
personal influence and authority in the
United States. General Grant may or
may not succeed in carrying out the
special purposes with which he says in
this speech that he went to Mexico. But
the name and fame of General Grant in
a foreign country are matters OF moment
to all rightminded Americans, and it is
very satisfactory therefore that he should
have put himself so promptly, so plainly
and so favorably on the record in
Mexico. -.-.

1t may safely be assumed that at no

truth, that many OF our people think the
American Republic better than our Do
minion, because it is Republican country.
1t has charm for them. As the poor
American slaves used to watch the
Northern star when signing for liberty
prior to 1860, and wendell their way by
circuitous routes to Canada, so the people
Of Europe and many of our people are
attracted by the fame, the glory, the free
intercourse, as they think--the free life
