BUCKLEY IN COURT.
Questionable Conduct of Supreme Court
CIarIx

questionable Conduct of Supreme Court
Clerk Mccarthy.
The San Francisco papers or last evening
furnish the following in regard to the noto-
rious Buckley-Bonnet case:
The case of c. A. Buckley, the prominent
politician of this city, charged with having
accepted $500 for offering to advance case
on the Supreme Court calendar, was up be-
fore the Supreme Court this morning.
Buckley filed an affidavit denying all the
charges. The prosecution called F. II.
Lamb Assistant Superintendent of the
Western Union Telegraph Company, to
show that Buckley was made aware of the
decision of the Supreme Court on the morn
ing OF May 10, 1884, at time when he
should not have known anything about it.
Mr.. Lamb produced the dispatch, which
was read as follows, showing where Mr..
Buckley derived his information of the ac-
lions OF the Supreme Court:
SACRAMENTO, California.
Received in San Francisco at lO:43 A. NJ on
May 10th: To Chris. Buckley, Bush street San
Francisco: Parker & Bonnet VS.. City and County
OF san tranclsco-Judgment and order affirmed.
J. W. MCCARTHY, Clerk.
The dispatch was delivered at I0:4S A. NJ,
and receipted for by T. X. Doran at Buck
ley's saloon.
Bonnet testified to drawing up note for
$500 and delivering it to Buckley.
Buckley testified that what Bonnet and
Taylor said to him was IF you will in
terest yourself in the case we will give you
$500 The Supreme Court was never men
toned. Buckley said he did not know
why Mccarthy should have sent him such
dispatch. He testified that he had never
received it, nor heard it read until now
and denied having said, or promised, that
he could get any case advanced on the cal
endar
Taylor was called and corroborated Buck
leys statement that nothing was said about
the Supreme Court, nor was the name of
any Supreme Judge mentioned
Arguments were made on both sides as
to what properly constituted contempt of
Court.
Justice Thornton said there was no statu-
tory definition of contempt, but that 1t
was anything calculated to bring a Court
into disrepute.
Mr.. Preston, of counsel for defense, said
he proposed showing that the Supreme
Court cannot try an indictable crime by
calling it contempt. Chief Justice Morri-
son said he would be permitted to argue
the case in his own way
The Court adjourned until tomorrow.

THE Alta in order to put bit in the
mouth of the San Francisco Democratic
County Committee, reprints the Civil Ser
vice law, and says to the complaining ones:
" 1t is nothing but law brethren that stands
between the politician and fodder, and
even Presidents must obey the law
Pshaw ! that explanation will have no
effect with the Mr.. Donnoyans and Sulli-
vans of the committee. They declare that
no Irishman has received an office. and bv
the powers they mean to know why. II
there is any doubt on this head read the
proceedings of the San Francisco Demo
cratic Committee and the speeches of Don
novan and Sullivan. They are threats
that the Democracy cannot refuse to hear
and the voices of unreason that ALWAYS
characterize ignorant and unscrupulous
place hunting.

IT IS no longer matter of speculation
that Chinese return certificates have been
sold on the streets in San Francisco. 1t is
now established beyond all question. The
pudding has been bitten, and we know it
to be pudding. There have been no CONN.,
terfeit certificates prepared, but original
prints have been used coming from official
sources. These have been fraudulently
filled and used to secure the introduction
into the country of class the law denies
admission. There is nothing more to be
said on that head. Columns of considera-
ton would bring US further than this. All
that now remains is to discover and punish
the offenders, and to so adjust the immi-
grafton system that similar frauds shall be
impossible in the future. To accomplish
these two things is no easy task. The
people watch with keenest interest the test
whether the Federal officials in San Fran
cisco are equal to the duty now imposed
upon them

FAILURES IN BUsINEss-The man who
has never failed in business cannot possibly
know whether he is honest or not, cannot
possibly know whether he has any grit
in him or is worth button. 1t is the man
who fails and then rises who is really great
in his way. Peter Cooper failed in making
hats, failed as cabinet maker, locomotive
builder and grocer but as often as he failed
he tried and tried again" until he could
stand upon his feet alone, then crowned the
victory by giving 81, 0O0,0 600 to help the poor
boys in time to come. Abraham Lincoln
failed to make both ends meet by chopping
wood, failed TO earn his salt in the galley
slave life of Mississippi hatboatman; he
had not even wit enough TO run a grocery,
and yet he made himself the grandest char
acter of the nineteenth century. Horace
Greeley tried three or four lines of business
before he founded the Tribune, worth to-day
81 100000. Patrick Henry failed at every
thing until he made himself the orator of
his age and nation.-[Golden Argosy.

FATAL BLUNDERs.-The Virginia (Nev.)
Enterprise saws:

The number of fatally laundering hunters
over in California continues to be wonder
ful. Every few days we read the regula-
ton accident about some fellow killing his
hunting companion by shooting him for a
deer or grizzly. He might, in fact always
does, miss the deer or grizzly, but he never
fails to bring his partner. This style of ac
cident can only be put stop to by keeping
the game law in full force the year round
Shooting nice little pigs by mistake fol
quail or rabbits has always been legitimate
in the mountains, or even q fat calf or a
yearling can easily be mistaken for huge
rampant grizzly, but this reckless slaughter
of two-legged mankind is getting too acci.
dentally common altogether. 1t never was
INDUCED in or encouraged in the old gold
mining days, and should not be counte.
nanced now.

A New YORK price-list is quoted to
show that California grapes were scarce in
that market at 50 cents a pound in the
early days of October, California pears at
40 to IS cents dozen, and so on through
a long list. We are told that there is
something wrong with the fruit trade
when consumers at the East are compelled
to pay such outrageous prices for our prod
ucts. This is nothing new. 1t is an old
story, and it will continue to be an oft
told tale, just as long as the Spectator is
permitted to pocket the enormous differ
ence between what he forces the grower to
sell for here, the cost of transportation and
the selling price there-which, by the
way, this same speculator forces and con-
trolls. No one is in the least in the dark

NALUARLE Discovery. Il

VALUABLE DISCOVERY. - The Tuoiun,ne
independent of October oath says:
While testing some ores submitted to him
yesterday, from a vein in the vicinity of
this town Sonora, Louis Blanding discov-
cred the presence of petite, one of the
forms of telluride of gold, and that it ex-
listed throughout the ores of the mine in
paying quantities-even the snow-white
quartz, though showing not a single indl-
cation OF mineral or free gold under a
powerful glass, yielding the telluride in
small quantity, and many of the samples a
very considerable percentage The telluride
was concentrated, but not closely, and
gave, by three separate tests made for ver-
itication, the extraordinary large result of
100000 per ton in gold-the silver in the
ore not being estimated. The ore yields
readily to treatment. This and other forms
of telluride of gold have been found in
Shasta, Sierra, Amador and Calaveras
counties, and now Tuolumne county must
be added to the list. This ore is the most
valuable form of gold ore known to exist.

On Monday evening, about o'clock, a
remarkably brilliant meteor fell some
where in the foothills east of here Before
reaching the earth it exploded, and burst
into thousand sparkling fragments. The
sound was like the report of great blast of
powder, and was heard throughout a large
area in the foothills and mountains east of
Yisalia. It caused such a vibration of the
atmosphere that houses were shaken, and
the people thought it was the shock of an
earthquake.
