PRESSING THEIR CLAIMS.

Beside the untitled grave Of Senator
Stanford, says the San Francisco Post,
the aspirants to his political honors
are clamoring for precedence. The
ambition Of every man who may or
may not lay claim to the Office has
touched him to the quick, and he has
responded with an alacrity indecent
and ghoulish.
In their efforts to gain an advantage
over their opponents some OF them
have gone the length Of "jobbing' for
the place, and as if to accentuate the
methods OF Senatorial choice in the
past have urged ON the dead mans
dearest and warmest friends the neces-
sity OF immediate endorsement. Fear
ing that some n else may snatch the
prize, some Of the politicians have be-
gun their connubiating at the very door
OF the chamber where Caliiornia's dead
Senator lies, and have mingled their
unseemly demands for his seat with
the sobs that tell their "grief."
We hope that Governor Markham,
whose absence at this time must be
regretted, will take account of the
scramble that is going on about the
coffin OF Leland Stanford for his Sena-
torial mantle, and will rebuke the ar
dor Of those who see in the death Of
this man naught but an opportunity of
pressing their claims to an office for
which their lack of dignity and their
ineffable forwardness utterly unfit

Fellow.

Charles Bell, a hostler at Sugars
stable in Sacramento, was detected a
few days ago by some Of Their other
employees, in the act OF jabbing the
eyes out of one Of the horses with his
thumbs. He would raise his thumbs
four or five inches away from the
horses head and forciby jab them into
the eyes of the poor brute. The reason
Of this fendishness was that the ami
NAL is owned by one Of the demi-
monde's of that town, and the man
Bell thought that by destroying the
sight of her favorite horse, she would
buy a horse which he had been en-
deavoring to sell her, and which be-
longed to him.

AN APPALLING CALAMITY.

which the water poured in torrents.
The immense hull Of the Victoria at
