SAN Francisco, Oct. &c. A. Dew
ey, the Englishman who came to Mon
tresl from Liverpool, and who, through
forged bills of lading, Obtained from
Moulton's bank of Montreal, and from
bankers in Boston and other places large
sums of money, was arrested here on the
steamer Coptic Just as the steamer was
passing through the Golden Gate ON her
way to Hong Kong. A dispatch yester-
day from San Antonio, Texas, announced

Miller ON Pacific Coast Politics.
CHICAGO, October l2.-Senator Miller
Of California arrived in this city yester-
day from the West. A reporter yester-
day asked him the condition Of Califor-
mia politics, to which he replied: "The
State is in the hands of the
Democrats, who have had SO many
dissensions and blunders that they have
Io~& 4A.s. -
are growing and gaining strength, and l
think will carry the State next year"
What Is Republican preference on the
Presidential question: ~ do not think
there Is any. Politicians of both parties
are waiting to see what will turn up.
Blaine was q leading favorite on
account Of his standing on the ques-
ton Of Chinese immigration, but
this question is now settled for our peo-
pie and will not have as much influence
IS IL had in 1880. Arthur is growing
stronger with California Republicans
and Logan has many friends especially
among old soldiers. There are plenty
Of candidates and we are waiting to see
who is coming to the front The candi-
date who in recorded as opposed to
Chinese immigration will be stronger than
one who is not" '.Are the Democrats
for Tilden," well. no. hardly. Justice
Field Is the leading Democratic candi-
date on the Pacific Coast. He is
much stronger now than he was
six months ago on account OF his deci-
sion in the United States Circuit Court
that Cinnamon from Hong Kong Nave
no more right to come to America under
the Restriction law than Cinnamon
from the empire itself and that the law
spplies TO the race rather than TO the
Chinese Empire and the people alone.
On the Mormon question the Senator
said it had no serious foothold in Cali
fornia but is spreading rapidly in Ari-
zona and Idaho. Tue Edmnnds law
has not succeeded in eradicating poly
gamy nor in taking the political power
from polygamists.
Heading on the Southern raeiglc.
CHICAGO, Oct. IA Washington
special says that tbs application of the
Southern Pacific Tor the appointment OF
Commissioners TO inspect lis tracks will
be decided by Secretary Teller very
soon. The Secretary will refuse the ap-
plication, holding that to appoint Com
inissioners to examine the Southern Pa
cific in Arizona and New Mexico would
be to recognize it as the scccessor and
assign Of the Texas Pacific, and this
would practically give it the land grant
it is after. Consequently the applica-
tion for Commissioner will be refused.
