TIE ALGER ROOM.

Ex.G Governor Alger Of Michigan, being
on q second visit to this Coast, certain
prominent Republicans Of California gave
him a banquet ct the Palace Hotel ono
evening last week. Speeches were made
and toasts drank, all more or less com.
plimentary to the Ex-Governor as a pos.
sible Presidential candidate. The gentle
man himself made 3 very neat speech, in
which he took occasion to reach for the
Pacific Coast vote by declaring. in q
guarded sort Of way, against the evils Of
Chinese immigration. The whole affair
was gotten up on a scale that would seem
to be not wholly without political signif.
in these days Of doubt ia the Re-
publican mind as to who their candidate
should be. Several of the San Francisco
papers hold that Governor Alger has
stepped right into Mr.. Blaine's shoes On
this Coast, and is certain to have the en-
thusiastic support of the California dele.
CATION in the Chicago Convention. 1t is
claimed that the Governor is a modest
man and bushes whenever he is alluded
to as a Presidential possibility. That is
all very well, and strange things some-
times happen in this country, but we
shall not look for Michigan's Ex-Governor
to become the Republican standard
bearer in this years contest. A ripper
statesman will be required. Governor
Algeri is a very clever gentleman and all
that, but it takes a good big stretch Of
the imagination to discern Presidential
timber in him. The California politicians
might as well have saved their hash.

JUDGE HUBBARD REMOVED.


His Domestic Troubies-Arresteu.
SAN DIEGO. March 26.-This morning
Judge Charles Hubbard received intelli'
gence that his appointment as United
States Commissioner had been revoked
by Judge Lorenzo Sawyer Of the United
States Circuit Court. MIR. Hubbard, when
seen this afternoon, said it was all q poll.
teal Job and that his enemies had taken
advantage Of his family troubles to have
him dismissed from his official position.
He claims that he was condemned with.
out q chance to be heard in his own de-
Tense.
SAN DIEGO, March PA warrant was
sworn out to-day by Robert Caapion, q
reporter on the San Diegan, against ex-
United States Court Commissioner Hub
bard for threats to kill. The San Diegan
published an article two or three days ago
in which the Commissioner was handled
without gloves and called nearly all the
names in the vocabulary for deserving his
wife and children, and when Hubbard
met the reporter on the street the next
day he accused him Of writing the article
and chased him all over the street. Hub
bard gave bail for his appearance.

William Davis took mule from Mr..
McComb, brought the animal to this city
and sold him. He was arrested, and dur
ing his incarceration wrote letter to the
original owner, full OF pleading for Glenn
ency and setting forth that he was drunk
at the time the mule was taken. He
further stated that Mr.. McComb had
known him for long time, knew his
character for honesty and probity, and
also his weakness for whisky. The
letter failed in its purpose, Davis
was sent up from the police court, and his
trial up there came on yesterday. In the
meantime, Mr.. McComb had been re-
quired TO deposit 800 for his appearance
to prosecute. When Davis was arraigned
he entered plea Of guilty, and twelve OF
the regular jury panel were placed in the
box TO assess punishment. Just before
this body had got in its work, the de-
PENDANT found lawyer, and upon
his advice Withdrew his plea and
demanded trial. Thereupon the impro-
vised jury was discharged and Davis given
until this morning to get up his defense.
This caused chagrin and disappointment
to the prosecutor, who remarked to the
Judge:
"You can take down my 800 forfeit;
I'm going home and let the case 60.
"Mr. Sheriff, take Mr.. McComb and put
him in the body of the Jail for safe keep
ing until this case is called for trial," com
manded the Judge.
And Mr.. McComb was sad, very sad.

Tennessee club Entertainment.
The entertainment at the Tennessee club
last evening was complete success, and
following close upon the gay festivities OF
last week, was the means Of drawing out
largo number OF society people. The
handsome parlors were filled with the
members and their friends, including a
number Of prominent strangers now in
the city. The two upper floors including
the billiard andreading-room were thrown
open to the guests Dancing was the
prominent feature that engaged the atten-
ton OF the younger members, while now
and then some staid and dignifed form
might be seen going through the figures
OF quadrille.
The Tennessee might be called the
Nestor Of clubs in this city, having been
founded over fifteen years ago and having
maintained a prestige through all these
years which has not perceptibly dimin-
ished. Their entertainments and reunions
have always drawn the society element
into participation. The gayety and ex-
element OF race week has received adj
ditional eclat through the event at the club
rooms last night, and IL will be remem-
bered as one OF the happy affairs succeed
ing the lenten season.

race and will not he candidate. II is
understood he will throw all his influence
to Lewis 7. Baxter, and will be backed in
this by Houk, Brownlow and others Of
that once powerful close political corpora

OF the leaders OF Tennessee Republicans are
upon Baxter. Tho Democrat was the first
paper TO mention him in that connection,
and in advance noted the strong influences
that were working in his behalf Now he
il almost a certainty.
Mr.. Ilouk was interviewed today by a
Democrat reporter. lie said he believed

TO stand fine chance for the nomination.
He thought the three most prominent
candidates TO be Lewis T. Baxter, Mike

and either would have strong chance Of
election. Houk declined TO state whom
he favored, saying he was for the best
man, but IL is understood hereabouts that
he is very earnest for Baxter.

vcntion gives Baxter an enthusiastic in

him out OF the nomination. II Ia not

Conkling, OF course, bore no resemblance
10 Mr.. Gladstone either as thinker,
scholar orator or statesman, and we
merely recall the qualities that distinguish
his greatness 10 suggest TO the reader how
weak was Mr.. Conkling's weakness -how
much weaker than any mental strength
he had could compensate for. lie
was an effective speaker and a
fair debater, and could on occasion
rise 10 nights OF oratory as when in tho
Chicago Convention he nominated Grant
for third term. That was Il supreme
occasion, and he was equal 10 il. For once
he lost or merged himself in his theme,
and he thrilled the vast audience by a
speech that OF its kind was masterpiece.
He summed all the excellencies and vir-
tues Of tho great soldier in words 70 strik-
ing that civil career memorable for its
weakness was forgotten, and for a
time there was danger that the third
term precedent would be established.
Fortunately for the Republic the attempt
was defeated. But il secured Mr.. Conk-
ling in popularity which he lost when he
permitted his imporiousness OF temper to
carry him into conflict with President Gar
field, who in maintaining his self-respect
and the dignity Of his high position, made
IL necessary for Conkling, as that gentle
man imagined, TO resign his seat in the
Senate. lilo asserted his right, assisted by
his colleague, TO dispense the patronage OF
his State. This President Garfield very
properly denied and resisted and the Sen
ator, thus reduced 10 tho ordinary
functions Of his office and stripped Of his
power as a boss, resigned and retired from
political life. II was silly thing TO do
but Il was Conkling's way. Since that
episode he has devoted himself to law and
eschewod politics, Though many times
urged TO take Office again he refused, and
would not even speak in any canvass moi
share in any OF the responsibilities Of 1
campaign. Out OF the harness lac would re
main out, and he did. Mr.. Conkling's place
was that Of n party leader; he has lief
no evidences OF craftsmanship. lie orig
mated no great measure Of policy, nor ha
lac stamped himself upon the laws Of hi
country. Egotism was his weakness
His abilities, high graded though the,
were, made for him a place only littl'

Tho Grand Jury Returns Two Indict-
ments Against Him.


The grand jury yesterday returned two
indictments against Squire II. M. Mason,
the superintendent Of the county work
house. The charges arc misconduct in
Office and being Interested in contracts for
convict labor, which belonged 10 the
county. This is the first legal step in the
way Of establishing the authenticity OF the
ugly disclosures which were brought to
light few days since. II Is strongly init
mated that these indictments are but q
gentle prelude OF what Is to follow, and
that before tho investigation Is concluded
some most fragrant violations OF law and
criminal conduct will be developed, which
will place Squire Mason In a most unen-
yiablc light IA q public official.
A number OF complaints are In circula-
ton M TO the management OF work-house
affairs by Mr.. Mason, which will most
probably come within the puryiew OF the
present investigation. For instance, II Is
claimed that the provisions sent out there
for the convicts do not hold out their origi-
nal weight over the work house scales, and
that the shortage on this score Is consider
able. Again, recently tho superintendent,
acting as a condemning board all 10 him
self, concluded that eleven OF the county's
mules, which arc used Mt the institution,
had become worthless and should be sold.
lie brought them TO tho city and sold
them. TO show how utterly worthless
they were, two Of them brought sl00 each,
and the others ranged In price from 500
10 $3.50. 10 much for the sale. The
mules, ~ matter Of course. had 10 be re-
placed at once, and the superintendent,
acting ~ purchasing agent, proceeded 10
buy them. The mules were bought at an
average price Of 500 each.
II seems that this is not tho first time
that Supt. Mason has been in trouble
about his administration OF the work
house, though this Ii the first that the
general public has heard Of Il. About
three years ago n committee was appointed
Jointly by the county court and grand jury
To- investigate the affairs Of the institution,
aud II IL stated that that report was very
severe on the official conduct Of the super.
inlendcnt but the report, through some
agency, never went any further than the
committee, and what the special subjects
OF iis criticism were are unknown. Squire
Mason insists that the charges against him
are the spiicwork Of young man formerly
employed nj the work-housc ~ book
keeper, but whom he discharged for drunk
/ cnnce8.
