London's Poor.

LONDON, February 23.-Joseph Cham
berlain, President of the Local Govern
ment Board, was visited to-day by
deputatiOn OF unemployed workingmen,
who stated their grievances and asked
what the Government meant to do to
relieve the prevailing distress. MIR.
Chamberlain deprecated riots or
all similar forms of disturbance
to manifest need of help. lie
said he was opposed to immigration
as d means OF relief, unless the distress
was chronic. This opposition was based
on many grounds, not the least of which
was the fact that the colonies would re-
fuse to welcome large number Of pau
pers, because, among other reasons. their
influence would cheaper the labor mar
ket. Chamberlain added that he hoped
the government would soon be able TO
establish the British IabOrer upon the
soil he titled. Pending the accomplish
ment Of this, he would not cease urging
local boards to start relief work, such as
paving and improving streets and fur
nishing means of subsistence to those in
absolute need.

The Senate.

WAsHINGroN, February 23.-In eXecu-
tive session, Senator Edmunds reported
q resolution from the Judiciary Commit
tee, which was adopted, authorizing the
committee to send for persons and pa
pers in their investigation of charges
against John Goode, Jr., whose nominal
ton to be SOliGitorG General is pending
before the committee. The most serious
Of the sharges are said to relate to al
legged election frauds when GOOde was
elected to Congress from the Norfolk
district, and the persons and papers to
be sent for will come chiefly from Viz
ginia.
The Finance Committee reported adj
yersely upon the nomination of MCGraw
to be Collector of Internal Revenue for
West Virginia. There were said to be
charges in the Treasury Department
against Mccormick, McGrsw's prede-
cessor, made by a discharged emplOye.
The charges are not among the papers
sent by Secretary Manning to the SEN
ate, and are thus assumed by the major
ity of the Finance Committee to have
been withdrawn, hence the adverse re-
port upon McGraw's case.

Assaulted by Mormcns.

SALT LAKE, February 23.-At O'Clock
last evening as United States Attorney
Dickson was leaving the dining-room of
the Continental Hotel, some men asked
to see him at the outer door. He went,
when one of them struck him in the
face, it is supposed, with a stone, the
others aiding. Judge Powers and Major
Erley, landlord of the hotel, thinking
the action Of the men peculiar, followed,
and got to the door Just after Dickson
had been struck by Frank Cannon, son
of George Q. Cannon, and August Can
non. The two other assailants are not
known. One unknown man ran. Judge
Powers put the other two under arrest.
August Cannon. when searched, was
found to have a self-cocking pistol with
all the chambers loaded. A great crowd
collected, among them many women.
one of whom was heard to say: "Served
Dickson right; wish they had killed him,
for he most killed the father" Dickson
10 not seriously hurt.

Chinese Robbed.

PORTLAND, Oregon, February 23.-
Early yesterday morning nearly all the
Chinese in Oregon City, 10 miles south
of Portland, were ruthlessly driven out
Of town. They were awakened by q
a mob of 10 or 80 whites, cufied about,
queues twisted and all the money about
their persons stolen. They were then
escorted TO the steamboat Latona, lying
at the wharf, placed abroad her and
brought to this city, their fares being
paid out Of the money stolen. Forty
two Chinese in all were driven out.
With the exception of three or four all
were employees of the Oregon CITY
WOODEN Mills, which also employs about
80 whites. 1t is understood that a
prominent Portland agitator heads the
movement. The names ofmany ofthem
are known and Chinese merchants here
say they will make an effort to have
them indicted before the United States
Court.

"Hord,oyer" Loekwood's Latest EHusIon.

Editor san Antonio Light
The Express calls hOld-over
Alderman A. |. LockwOod's bust
ness place nutshell, -" and then
proceeds to give nearly two col
umns of what il calls common sense
VS.. legal opinion" as emenating from
the nutshell" The sage of the afore-
said NUTSHELL has been rather slow
about inGubating his treatise entitled
common sense VS.. legal opinion
The truth is that the clause
Of the new charter lengthening
the terms of some of the Aldermen be-
yOnd the period for which they were
elected by the people was as unneces-
sary as it was improper. The principle
runs through our entire system of gov
eminent that the legislative branch has
no hOld-Oyer quality, waile all executive
officers have. This is wise and neces-
sary in order that government be
perpetual, and to prevent chaos. When
the term of member of Con
gress, or a member of the Legisla-
ture. terminates, there is an end
to it-there is no holding over. The
City Government is but n copy Of the
State in its several departments. The
c0uncilmen are not executive officers;
they constitute the legislative depart
ment, and any legislation attempting to
prolOng their terms is a violation of the
general principle. But our city cOrpo-
ration is a creature of the Legislature,
and it may be assumed that it was in the
power of the Legislature to do anything
it chose in the premises. The point is.
that the people are anxious to get rid Of
some of IFS Ia w-muknFE and I a
long time to wait until next year to do
it, The resignation of the four hold
over aldermen would not have effected
the administration OF our CITY affairs,
and it would have gratfied the people
and set at rest all doubts. Sage OF the
NUTSHELL there is no law against your
resignation. RLTNT.

Love Me, Love NV Dog. 4"

They have new hired girl at board
ing-house on West Houston street.
Among the ''impedimenta" of the hired
girl was huge dog, cross between
mastiii and bloodhound, which is con-
spicuous for its devotion to its mistress
and an corresponding dislike for any
body else, land everywhere that hired
girl went the dog was sure to 60" The
untiring devotion of this huge animal
became monotOnous to the inmates of
the house, and by dint of perseverance
and working on the dogs epicurean ten
denotes, he was decoyed from the house.
On the threshold he sat wrapped in
gloom, until a neighbours poodle came
gamboling in joyous canine innocence
on the grass plat of the house. The
blood hounds eye glared, and in flash
he had swooped down on that
gleeful poodle. One short shrek
and all was over. Some one had
lost pet, and the blood-hound's bilious
feelings were somewhat satisfied. Soon
the door of the boarding house is opened
and in flies the bloodhound, SCATTERING
the nerves OF the proprietress; not MOTTO
ing this fact; the hired girls pet HES to
the kitchen where he causes a very
cyclone by the. aid of his tail and the
culinary utensils, his glance lights on a
lady OF color employed in cooking; with
out any Of the usual courtesies Of intro
duCtion he attempts to become acquain-
ted by flying at the lady's throat, but
misses his mark. and with marvellous
celebrity the colored lady disappears.
The dog and the hired girl are still en-
ioying undisputed possession of the
kitchen and the pantry, at the time OF
going to press; the dog will not 90 with
out the hired girl, nor the hired girl
without the dog, and neither appear in
clined to take their departure.

The Navy.

WASHINGTON, February 23.-The mem
bers Of the House Committee on naval
affairs held an informal meeting yester-
day, at which the question OF the rehab-
iliatiOn of the navy was discussed and
an interchange Of views on the subject
was had. So far as can be learned, it
was the unaniomous opinion of those
present that the navy should be recon-
structed. The committee will meet to-
morrow and probably agree upon re-
port which will be presented to the
House without delay. The recommen-
datiOns will involve the expenditure Of
SS,000,0O0 or Sl0,000,0O0. They will re-
commend the completion ofthe monitors
already begun and a liberal apprspria-
for naval ordnance. They will advise
the construction OF from Is to 20 ter
pedo boats, and large expenditure for
torpedOes, and will provide for the con-
struGtion of six or seven steel belted
cruisers of from 5000 to 5000 IONS.
These cruisers are to he the main
reliance of the Navy. Their features
are swiftness and the power of their
ordnance. There is q difference of opin-
ion as to whether this work should be
done in the Navy yards by the govern
ment, or by contract, and both plans
will probably &c given trial. All the
ordnance work will be done in the yards,
and most. it not all, will be done at
Washington. The construction Of the
ordnance will he the almost exclusive
work of the Washington yard, and it
will be the aim to have il thoroughly
equipped. The committee will recon-
mend perfect torpedo system. The
committee do not favor the construction
of heavy irOn-Clads. which are consid-
cred less serviceablc than the modern
fast cruiser armed with powerful ord
nance.

They had heard of Ben and wanted
to find him. Ben also heard of
them, and thought he would have lit

preference in such matters to officers
soon to be retired, who, In fact. ate unfit
at the time of promotion for active SER
