Deadlock in the California Senate.

SACRAMENTO. Cal, Jan. 10. 1.-The deadlock which
exists in the State Senate will probably be broken
when the Senate reconyenes on Monday by the
Republicans voting with the 'read outs for
Knight. The Senate consists of twenty Republi-
cans and twenty Democrats, Lieutenant Governor
Daggett in the chair. Five Senators were tread
OUT of the Democratic party by the late Demo
cratic State Convention, who insist that Knight,
one OF their number, be elected Speaker pro TEN.
The other Democratic members, known as
''straightouts," refuse to vote with them, which
causes a deadlock. On a party tie the ballot OF
the Chairman would cast the vote, deciding with
the Democrats.

MR. NEAL Dow, the great tenn perance apostle of Maine, has come out in 8 long letter to the New York Evening Post and ac- knowledges that Prohibition is a failure. This means a great deal. Mir. Dow has been q rank Prohibi- onist and comes from Maine, a State which has long been famous as the state where no liquor was sold. And now, after a long and fair trial, he has to acknowledge that Prohibition is a failure. Any man with good common sense could have told him this years ago, but now that the trial has been made and the attempt has failed, the fact must be acknowledged. The worst feature of the whole business is the habit of secret guzzling, or clandestine tippling, which this ve1atious law has engendered in the rising generation.

The ignorance of the French Canadians in allowing smallpox to ospread and prevent people from entering Montreal is likely to cost that city dearly. A great thing for Montreal has been its winter carnival, and, as this attraction is to be abandoned in the Canadian city for the winter of 1886, Burling- ton, Vt, proposes to capture it. Appropriations have been made, street of the city given up to coasting, and steps taken for rivaling the attractions offered to midwinter visitors to the city on the St. Lawrence. It is never safe to leave a chance for a good speculation open within reaching distance of the Verment Yankee.

THE emphatic tones in which the United States Grand Jury, recent ly convened at Tucson, spoke on the Indian question, voicing as they did the sentiments of all good citizens and giving emphasis to that which has often been said and reiterated, encourages us to believe that the ear of the administration may yet be reached, and congress sional action be had on the matter of removing the Apaches from our sun kissed land to some eli mate, where if they are not more happy, we can look upon them at a distance and fervently return thanks that the places which knew them once will know them no more forever.

MR- CLEvELAND's ideas of con- ducting the Governments on strictly business principles has been fol- lowed out by Mir. Whitney in regard to the methods of book keeping formerly in vogue in the navy Department. Under the old system each Bureau had its own method of accounts, each different from the other, with no general head, no organization and no check on expenditures. Mir. Whitney in assuming control, employed an ex- pert to overhaul the books and the result has been a simple and eff cacious system which enables the Secretary to know at a minutes notice the exact financial state of the Department and prevents fraudulent vouchers.

GEO. R. MCCLELLAN.

In the death of Major General George B. Mcclellan the country suffers a deplorable loss. Though living quietly of late years on his place in Orange Hill, New Jersey, he was twenty years ago one of the foremost men in American his tory.
 Graduating second in his class at West Point, in 1916, he first saw service in the Mexican War, where he acquitted himself with great honor. Returning to West Point at the end of the War, he was appointed Professor and wrote manual on the art of war. Later he was sent by the United States Government to the Crimea to observe operations and wrote q series of valuable reports on th' t war as viewed from a military standpoint. The beginning of the War of Secession found him technical director of the Illinois Central Railroad, which position he resigned to accept that of Ma jor- General of the Army. After a successful campaign in Western Virginia, he was made Com mnder-in-Chief. In the summer of 1862 he invaded Virginia and advanced to near Richmond, but, being defeated in a series of bat ties, he was obliged to withdraw from the peninsula. After Pope's second defeat at Bull Run, he checked Lees victorious advance at Antietam. This great success revived the dropping hopes of the country and it is on record that his supersedure by General Burn side was against the officers judg- ment. Throughout his military career he was dictated to from " Washington and perpetually ham, pered by political trammels.
 In 1S64 he ran against Lincoln, receiving 1.S00,000 votes to MT. Linco,n's 100000. In November 1877, he was elected Governor of New Jersey, holding the chair un- til 1881. As a scientific and prac- tical engineer he stood in the front rank, while even his oppo- nents concede his abilities as military critic and organizer, his conscientiousness and unassuming worth.

U. s. GRAND JURY.
IF our space permitted we woult

IF our space permitted we would publish in full the report of the Grand Jury empannelled on the 2Sth. of last September at Tucson in and for the first judicial dis
 trict of Arizona, to examine into matters pertaining to the admin istration of federal affairs in this district. The first judicial district is composed of Graham, Pima and Cochise counties. N. B. Walker was foreman of the Grand Jury and Richard Rule was secretary. The report submitted to Judge Barnes on the 31st ultimo is in deed startling and satisfactorily proves that the grand inquest did an immense amount of work and fearlessly performed their duty. They brought to light many things which would undoubtedly have remained in oblivion but for the persistent efforts of Judge Fitz- gerald. His charge to the Grand Jury was such that they were com pelled, under their ouths, to do what they have done. It is not creditable to the Territory that so many officials should have been indicted but, if their misdeeds made it necessary, they who were intrusted with a sacred duty are to be commended for that which they have done. The custom has been heretofore to select federal Grand Jury from the vicinity where the court is held, where as the law declares that it shall be from the body of the district. Marshal Meade exercised wisely his discretion and composed the body from Pima and Cochise counties. In making mention of the Grand Jury the Star says editorially: Ut is the best grand jury ever empannelled ln Arizona and marks a new departure which 1t would be well for all similar bodies to follow"

CONSIDERABLE discussion is in dulged in at present by the east ern press, as to whether the late Andrew Johnson at one time sought to revolutionize this Gov ernment. Strong arguments are produced pro and con and the New York Commercial Advertiser, in the following extract, designates the party who, if he wishes, can, definitely settle the question:
 ''Geu. Butler was the most active manager of the impeachment prose cution of President Johnson, and knows, of course, all the facts that were at any time in the possession of the prosecutors. He, if anybody, should be able to explain why it was that Gen. Grant kept silent and permitted Johnson's aequittal if Johnson had approached him, as is now asserted, with an insulting proposal to join Tn conspiracy against the life of the Nation.
 That is the puzzling part of the story-the point which excites in- credulity as to the accuracy of Mr. Depew's memory. The theory that as a military man Gen. Grant was bound to hold the communi- cation of his superior officer as confidential will not hold water. Gen. Butler knows that that obli- gation does not extend to treason able proposals or to attempts on the part of the superior to corrupt the inferior officer"
