OTHER MATTERS.
(CoRtiaNed.)

done nothing. The Senate has not
organized, there being block in the
election of President pro tenn. The
session lasts but sixty days and to-
morrow two weeks will have been
wasted, at cost to the State of
about 81 800 day. The election
of Senator will probably not take
place till 9th, il then. Sergeant,
who is friend of your Treaty, is
considered the coming man and his
chances of success are increased by
the abuse of the Chronicle. Jones
is elected Senator for Nevada. The
recount in the election for Sheriff
reduces the majority of Hopkins,
over Patterson, from PAT TO 8. A
clear case of fraud at the ballot box
has been shown, but who is the
guilty party? This is another thing
that rebounds to California's credit.
Slogger. Sullivan has been distin-
gushing himself, since nearly killing
a waitress in saloon, by taking pos
session of a street car and driving it
anywhere and everywhere, rails or
no rails, till he tired of his drunken
freak. No action has yet been taken
by Congress to ensure continuance
of the Australian mail service, and
something must be done very shortly
or the line will permanently cease.
1t is rumored that new
STEAM TUG FOR HONOLULU
will soon leave here. If you get the
one mentioned, then you will have
one of the best and most powerful
little tugs now in San Francisco
harbor, and need fear no repetition
of vessels on the reef-if you also
obtain q competent man to handle
her. Part of the Canadian overland
line is buried from four to forty feet
deep in snow and ice, which the
snow plows will not penetrate. This
will be nice line for winter travel.
Lord Garmoyle, the hero in the For
tescue divorce case, arrived here by
the last steamer from Japan, accom-
panied by Lord Darcy Osborne.
The former Lord distinguished him
self, on the night of his arrival, by
falling asleep conspicuously in a box
at the Abbott opera. He remained
but two Or three days, being bounded
out of the place by the daily press,
and went to Monterey. Some OF
the Irish Fenians in the East have
fallen out, the result being that
Phelan was stabbed about a dozen
times, by a man named Short, when
in the office of O'Donovan Rosa.
The cause is said to be on account
of Phelan having given information
Of an attempt to blow up the steamer
Queen in England some time ago.
The trial may be the means of elicit
ing some startling truths. A shoot
ing affray occurred in the Office of
the New Orleans Mascot, in which
the editor was shot in the hand.
Business and the weather are both
improving, and with prospect of a
good season for farmers but little
grumbling is heard.
FOREIGN NEWS.
The New Year in London was
ushered in by dynamite explosion
on the underground railway; fortu-
nately nobody was hurt. Several
British ironclads have been ordered
to prepare Immediately for active
service. The usual objection is being
raised to passing vote for Princess
Beatrice on her marriage with Prince
Henry of Battenberg. The Princess,
accompanied by her mother, will
shortly visit Germany for three
weeks. The eldest son of the Prince
of Wales has attained his majority
and is now engaged with his brother
in writing two volume description
of their tour round the world. 1t is
expected that they will be able to
earn an honest penny thereby. Louise
Michel is reported insane and will
probably be liberated. Gladstone
caused great excitement by his sud-
den arrival in London on January Isl
when he summoned Cabinet meet
