HOW THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY AMD COUNTRY
ARE ADVANTAGED.
..-••.. . ■ .
A few Practical Considerations worthy careful pernaal and thought.
There is scarce a man, woman or child of intelligence in California but has heard of the
MECHANICS' STORE, Sacramento (WEINSTOCK & LUBIJ 1 , proprietors), X and
Fourth streets.
Its history is phenomenal, but not more so than its methods of business.
Its growth has no parallel in the commercial annals of the State.
But this growth has been the legitimate result of the strict application of business
principles all men should understand and practice.
The trade of the house is both wholesale and retail, and is conducted exclusively and
unwaveringly upon a CASH BASIS. ' . •,
More than this, "ONE PRICE" is the uniform rule with rich and poor, high and
low, friend or foe— a rule as unalterable as the laws of the Medes and Persians. -
The firm is a direct importer, and recently has so perfected its system that with greater
truth than ever it may be said it has almost entirely done away with middlemen, and brought
manufacturer and buyer face to face at the counter in Sacramento.
Whoever buys at the Mechanics' Store does so on a level with all other. buyers and
under the assurance that neither favor, affection, patronage or friendship gives one an ad-
vantage over the other, and under the guarantee that at this establishment all men are treated
alike as purchasers.
A child can comprehend the justice, independence and fairness of this system.
But in matter of judgment favor is shown, not to one, or a class, but to all. How ':
By placing all buyers upon an exact level, as all goods are plainly marked and unde-
viatiogly rated, the poorly-posted or ill-judging customer stands exactly in the same relation
at the counter of the MECHANICS' STORE as does the most skilled expert. Whatever
either buys he pet therefor his moneys worth, for he pays no more in any ca_-e than the fairly
and lowest possible rated value of the article.
It is a manufacturing firm, and makes up Men's and Boys' Underwear, in all lines;
Boys' Suits ; Ladies', Children's and Misses' Cloaks ; Clothing for the Shop, the Laborer,
etc., working up cotton, linen, woolen and mixed roods in large quantities.
. Its Factory Machines are operated with an engine, and is upon one of the lower floors of
the house. In this Department twenty-four operatives find constant employment, with a
Forewoman, Cutter, two Special Workers and two Boys. ' f fJSi
The MECHANICS' STORE embraces twelve distinct Departments, which are noticed
separately in this review in the proper sections : First, Dry Goods ; 2, Fancy Goods ; 3, Men's
Furnishing Goods ; 4, Men's Clothing ; 5, Boy's Clothing ; 6, Yankee Notions ; 7, Hats and
Caps ; 8, Millinery ;9, Boots and Shoes ; 10, Wholesale Department ; 11, Country Order
Department ; 12, Manufacturing Department.
WHOLESALE DEPARTMENT.
The WHOLESALE DEPARTMENT is distinct from all others of the store, em-
braces all lines Kept in any of the Departments, and is conducted upon the principles hereto-
fore set out. The package rates are the same to all wholesale buyers, and respond only to
CASH. The capacity of the Department is equal to any demand the trade of the coast can
make. Orders are filled with greatest dispatch, and as faithfully when sent in as if the
buyer were present in person.
COUNTRY ORDER DEPARTMENT.
The COUNTRY ORDER DEPARTMENT is a phenomenal one. It represents a
vast business. Between one and two hundred orders are filled daily, and the goods dispatched
mainly by mail. The selectors act for the customer, using the same judgment as if buying
for tliemselvce, and being responsible to the proprietors for the slightest deviation from the
exercise of the fairest and best judgment in behalf of the intending buyer.
DRY COODS DEPARTMENT..
At this establishment the Department of DRY. GOODS occupies a spacious, admirably-
arranged and popularly-located store-room at the corner of Fourth and X streets, which is
stocked from flour to ceiling, and along the balcony running along one wall, with every
variety of DRY GOODS, including Calicoes, Dress Goods. White Goods, Waterproofs,
Linings, Felt Skirts, Shawls, Curtains, Domestics, Shirtings, Muslins, Silk, Cotton, Woolen
and Mixed Goods of all grades, Blankets, Linens, Cloaks, House Linen, Ribbons, Toilet
Supplies, Threads, Buttons, Dress Trimmings, etc. The Country Order Department sup-
plies any Goods of this Department in any quantity. The most distant purchaser is
afforded equal advantages with the one at the counter. -
FANCY GOODS DEPARTMENT.
The Second Department is the FANCY GOODS DEPARTMENT comprises Hosiery,
Gloves and Ladies' Han Iwear, Corsete, Laces, Ribbons, Notions, Embroideries, Articles of
Personal Adornment, Edging, Combs, Ties, Jewelry, Collars, Cuffs, etc. Orders are filled
from abroad for single articles or by the package. ■ •
MEf'S FURNISHING GOODS
— AXD—
CX.O-C__CIlVGr!
/IIX3_D-R._ESSEZ> TO *ekc__!_h-_.
.The Third Department contains MEN'S FURNISHING GOODS, including Hoisery,
Handkerchiefs, Jewelry, Neckties, Collars, Cuffs, Gloves and Handwear of all descrip-
tions ; all classes of Shirts, Umbrellas, Bags, Trunks, Valises, etc.
The Fourth Department is the Men's Clothing Department, and includes all kinds of
Cotton, .Woolen, Silk Mixed and Rubber Clothing,, and every possible garment worn by
men, and kept even with the best styles. . Any of these goods are forwarded to any section
in large or small quantities, or by the single article. The absent buyer is treated in exactly
the same spirit of fairness as if he or she stood at the counter.
BOYS' CLOTHING!
■ Parents in California and throughout the land alike are interested in the purchase of
Children's Clothing— especially in Boys' Garments. It is demonstrated that this class of
Clothing can be purchased cheaper (and of as good stock and make) than if ordered made
at home. - At no place is there a more complete assortment of Boys' and Youths' Ready-
made Clothing to be found than at the MECHANICS' STORE. The stock is constantly
freshened, and the styles of the day in these garments kept pace with. Any of the goods
j are forwarded to order, by mail or otherwise, as desired. .. _
7. 3t-a_iw____:_e_i__e; XOTIOIffS!
" YANKEE NOTIONS" is a very comprehensive term. In order, however, ! to
comprehend what Yankee Notions means, a visit should be made to that Department of the
MECHANICS' STORE. The Department includes all kinds of Yankee Notions known
to this trade, such as Soaps, Stationery, Pocket Goods, Novel Personal Utensils, Brushes,
Combs, Pocket Cases ; a full line of Pocket and other Cutlery, Perfumery, Portemonnaies,
Purses, and a variety of like goods far too numerous to be classified now. These and all
other goods of the store are forwarded per order to any section in any large or small qnantities.
HAT AND CAP DEPARTMENT!
The Seventh Department of the MECHANICS' STORE is the branch of the estab-
lishment devoted to the Hat Trade. It embraces full lines of Men's, Youths', Boys' and
Children's Hats and Caps, including all the newest styles as soon as put upon the market,
and in endless variety. Any article or package of articles forwarded in response to order,
and selection is made with as much exactness and care in judgment as if the purchaser stood
beside the salesman. ZZ'ii-e
aacii.i___:i^_E3__^Tr.
To Ladies of Sacramento, and to all those ot the interior of California and adjacent
sections,. the Eighth Department of the Mechanics' Store addresses itself. The Department
is an important feature of the business. It is stocked with all goods usually found under that
head. Employing fashionable milliners and competent assistants, the goods and work are
sent out in the best styles. The lines in Hats, Bonnets, Velvets, Ribbons, Feathers and
Artificial Flowers are complete, and one or many orders are filled with equal dispatch.
BOOTS AND SHOES !
Of the Twelve Departments of the establishment, one is devoted exclusively to Boots
and Shoes. It includes very full lines of Men's, Youths' and Boys' Boots, and Shoes, Infants',
Misses' and Ladies' Shoes, Slippers, Ties, etc, and full lines of Rubber Foot Wear, j There
is no fashionable, serviceable and novel article in this line which tho department cannot
supply. Country orders receive as much attention as if the buyer were present.
The above review speaks for itself, and needs no comment on our part. We will content
ourselves by simply saying that although in the past we have worked hard for the benefit of
■ patrons and the public, yet for the future we intend to work still harder, and give to all the
full benefit of our efforts. To those living in the interior we cheerfully send a Price List
and samples free on application. . .- - ' ->

[Special to the Record-Union.] -
Washington, January 10th. — Willis of
Kentucky, Chairman ot the House Commit
tee on Education and Labor, has added Rep
resentative Page to the sub-committee, who
will hold a meeting next Thursday to con
sider the subject of Chinese immigration and
agree upon some restrictive bill, with the
view to obtaining the promptest possible ac
tion by the full committee, and consequently
by the House whenever the committee shall
be called upon for reports. It is probable
that the committee will recommend the pass
age of the measure which was vetoed last
year (commonly known as the fifteen-passen
ger bill), omitting the clause that required
notice to be given of the abrogation of two
specified articles of the Burlingame Treaty.
The objections of the President's veto mes
sage, it will be remembered, were bused upon
this clause, the ground being taken that
formal notice of a direct abrogation of any
one portion of the treaty was equivalent to
giving notice of the abrogation of the whole
of the treaty, and in fact amounted to a sev
erance of all diplomatic relations with China.
It remains to be seen whether the President
will question the right of Congress to modify
the operation of a treaty indirectly by legis
lative action ; but at all eventi the California
delegation are disposed to give him an oppor
tunity, as soon as possible, to pass upon a
bill divested of the principal objection upon
which he based his veto last year.
The refusal of the Supreme Court to ad
vance the legal-tender case upon its docket
has strengthened the determination of the ad
vocates of repeal of the legal-tender power
of greenbacks to press that proposition upon
the attention of Congress at the earliest prac
ticable moment during the present session ;
and although many members are strongly
averse to going upon the record in regard to
so troublesome a question, there is no longer
any dotlbt that it will soon have ,to be dis
posed of in some way. The proposition has
undoubtedly lost strength during the holi
day recess, for a number of Congressmen
who were read/ before the Christmas ad
journment to vote, if not for an immediate
repeal, at least for a repeal at some future
date, have returned from their constituents
firmly convinced that the "let-well-enough
alone ** policy is the wisest. In short, ' the
impression has apparently gained ground that
the existing business prosperity might be en
dangered by any financial legislation, and the
present outlook is that both houses will
adopt resolutions in favor of letting the cur
rency alone. .; ■;••_. '...
Letters lately received here from Consul
Mosby, at Hongkong, bring information
that he .will leave China for home some time
this week. . :-_.'<
Senator Farley and Representative Berry
tiled a joint recommendation for the appoint
ment of Alexander Dunn, County Clerk of
Colusa county, as Supet visor of Census for
the Third California Census District. He
will undoubtedly be appointed. They have
also recommended K. L. Griffiths, of Fresno,
for appointment as Census Supervisor in ■he
Fourth District, but as Representative
Pacheco and Senator Booth have asked that
Charles W. Dana be appointed for this dis
trict, which is composed of the greater part
of Pacheco's Congressional District, it is
uncertain which of the two will get it.
The Acting Commissioner of the General
Land Office to-day approved the Minto
survey of . the Rancho Valle de San] Jose,
comprising 17,034 acres in San Diego county,
and the patent will be issued next week.
The report of Special Agent Starett to the
Postoffice Department, concerning Wells,
Fargo & Co.'s delivery of letters on the Pa
cific coast. Bets forth the magnitude of their
business in this respect by stating that they
purchase, on an average, 200,000 stamped en
velopes per month in San Francisco, and
doubtless • a proportionate number in Port
land, Salt Lake City, aud other places. The
grounds upon which the Department is asked
to interfere with this business are : First —
That Wells, Fargo & ■ Co. do not charge
double rate of postage, and consequently the
three-cent stamped envelopes which they sell
for five cents contain often more mail matter
than would pas» through a I Postoffice for
three cents. Secondly— the company's
correspondence between its various bark
ing houses is carried free, and that besides
this, the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany and the Central Pacific . Railroad
have an arrangement with the Express
Company by which their letters are trans
ported without cost, thus depriving the Gov
ernment of the postage it should receive.
Third— is alleged that about one-fifth of
the express company's five hundred agents on
the Pacific slope are Postmasters, and, that
they are amenable to the law for selling
stamped envelopes at higher prices than the
Government charges. The committee of
prominent Post Office Department officials
who have been appointed to examine this
subject will thoroughly examine it, but it
does not seem to be generally expected that
they will discover any statute authorizing
material interference with the existing busi
ness, and in view of the formidable litigous
resources of the company, and the opposition
already indicated on the part of . California
representatives against the suggested cur
tailment of the business facilities of the
company's constituents, it is probable that
the committee will move in the matter very
cautiously. f :.■:.. : , • • , . r-i •. _

The Ctr Indians— Infamous Outrage
' on Their White Captive*.
Chicago, January 10th.— The Ute Indians,
with their escort, passed through here to-day.
arriving -a; 4 P. M., taking supper at the
Grand Pacilic Hotel, and leaving by the
Pittsburg and Fort Wayne Railroad for
Washington at 6p. M. There was a I crowd
at the depot who made some demonstration,
but only in the way of unpleasant words, to
ward the Indians. , General Adams, who ar
rived this afternoon, conilrms the stories of
the nameless indignities j which the white
women suffered at the Bands of their Indian
captors. He says the women very unwillingly
made a full statement to the Commission of
the ' circumstances, with the understanding
that it should not be published. I Mrs. Meek
er, however, subsequently published the story
herself. General Adams said tbat had he
known this part of the barbarity of the sav
ages before the Commission began its work, ,
he wonld have advised letting General Mer
ritt and his force punish the redskins without
further delay. . The women were, however,
<so adverse to having the acts known that they
at first denied, even to the Commission, that
they had been foully dealt with.- ' ~, ' ■
Denis Kearno's llc._____ar.__.it at the Green*
. - - -■ ■ : back t uai i-uiii.n.
i New York, January 10;b._— At the Green
back Convention in Washington yesterday,
Kearney said : The Republican party if run
by | National I Bank - Directors. I The » iron
hoofed scoundrels should be in hell. -These
thieves and vagabonds, like, other highway
men, meet by midnight lamp and divide the
tpoils, You, the mudsills &nd- mutton-heads
of society, have lieen led. like cuttle -to the
slaughter to vote for your own destruc
tion. I believe in plain language, and if any
of you do not like it, you may do the next
best tiling. . I believe in sending the National
Banks and their Directors to the lowest re
gions of hell, and if the American people
hid any courage they would hang John Sher
man. " . '-- - " ' ..
. Rev. De La Matyr, in ministerial garb,
then read the call for the National Conven
tion to be held in Chicago, June 9, 1880. : . ' .
J A delegate then moved to condemn the na
tional authorities for not enforcing the eight
hour law. "Let us all vote for this," cried
Kearney ; "the crawling, creeping serpents
will come to us by and by for relief." The
motion was adopted. , *
After the meeting adjourned, Kearney
made another speech, beginning by announc
ing his readiness to lead a gang of men
to Maine to oppose any troops which might
be sent there. - In the course of his tirade he
advocated lynch law freely," and denounced
John Sherman as a thief, who would steal
coppers from a dead man's eyes, and then
kick the corpse because they were not silver.
" Fill my belly with potatoes," said he, "and
lam a man. Give me a dollar based on a
potato or a cabbage, that will sustain life,
and not a bit of gold to stick in women's ears
and men's teeth." . At the close he dealt with
the Chinese question and provisions in rela
tion te the new Constitution of California.
"If the United States meddles with that
Constitution," he cried, "we will lop off Cal

The CreenbackerV Platform.
Washington, January 10th. — The -call of
the Greenback Conference for a Convention
denounces bankers, stock-jobbers, land-grab
bers and others, who, it is affirmed, have as
sumed control of the Government and filled
the land with pauperism, crime and misery ;
who have assailed the very foundations of
popular government. It declares that 160,000
people in the District of Columbia are dis
franchised. They give up all personal aims
and opinions for the I purpose of restoring the
control of the Government to the whole peo
ple . through the representatives chosen b"
them, uninfluenced by bribery, intimidation
or sectional hate ; to enable the people to re
cover complete sovereignty over elections,
currency, lands and lines of internal com
munication, and finally to embody in law and
enforce the right of each laborer to there
sults of his toil.
That a Convention of the National Green
back-Labor party be held in Chicago, 111.,
Wednesday, the 9th of June, 1880, and that
the basis of representation shall be, from each
State four delegates and four alternates at
large, and two delegates and two alternates
from each Congressional District, and two
delegates and two alternates from each Terri
tory and the District of Columbia.' -"-''
(Signed.) Thomas H. Murch. Chairman of
the Conference and of the Congressional
Committee ; E. P. Dewes, Chairman of the
National Committee.
The report was adopted without debate by
a unanimous rising vote.
A resolution was offered and adopted en
dorsing Hendrick B. Wright's Homestead
Land bill, and General Weaver's bill for
equalization of soldiers' pay and bounties, but
immediately after its adoption Weaver him
self put in an appearance, and said tbis was
neither the time nor the place to pass such a
resolution, and that he hoped the Conference
would - reconsider I its action and allow the
resolution to be withdrawn.
A motion to reconsider was adopted, and
the resolution was withdrawn. Adjourned

Parnell and Dillon— Appeals* Tor Keller of
1 the Distressed in Ireland.
New York. January — Mr. Parnell
started subscriptions for the poor of Ireland
on the Cotton Exchange to-day, and spoke at
the Academy of Music . to-night to a large
audience. He said they simply wanted help
so as to prevent their poor people from being
starved to death. In one way or another,
the Irish people would insist on having the
land of Ireland for themselves. In conclu
sion, he said he felt confident that the time
was very near at hand when they would
strike a fatal blow at the present land system
of Ireland.
John Dillon also spoke at length of the
condition of the unfortunate people of Ire
land.
At the conclusion of Dillon's speech, Henry
Ward Beecher was introduced. He said he
could not allow this opportunity to pass
without saying something for the unfortunate
people who were in distress, while there were
prairie lands enough in America to raise
substance enough for Irelivid and all other
countries. He said men who tilled laud
should be the owners of it, and, when they
were not, land-owners were holding them by
their throats.
Father Hickey followed Beecher, and at the
conclusion of his address the meeting ad
journed.
Mr. Parnell has issued an address to the
people of America, asking for contributions
to alleviate the distress in Ireland, and stat
ing that all subscriptions collected for relief
purposes may be forwarded to Drexel, Mor
gan Jt Co., of this city, who will ward the
money to the Treasurers of the National
Laud League in Ireland.
Parnell mid Dillon nt Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, January 10th.— and
Dillon had a warm welcome here to-day. As
they alighted from the train an address was
presented, in which it was hoped trod would
bless their efforts in behalf of the down
trodden Irish. A committee escorted them
to tbe Academy of Music, which was crowded,
and on the stage were a notable company.
Parnell made a speech. .
Resolutions were adopted expressing deep
sympathy with the suffering people of Ire
land, denouncing their oppressors in unstinted
terms, and pledged assistance out of personal
means as much as possible. George W.
Childs was unable to be present, and sent a
check for 81,000. ....

Plan to Hot) a Grave Frustrated. .
New Yoke, January 10th. — The Herald
says : Superintendent Palmer, of .Maple
G:ove Cemetery, where the body of Count
Joannes was buried, received information
on Wednesday that $500 had been offered
for the head and brain of the Count, and
that an attempt Would be made to steal the.
body some night that week. On that night
Palmer and one of his laborers kept watch,
and three men were detected in the cemetery
in a secluded part, evidently waiting for a
favorable opportunity to begin the work of
exhumation, which would not have required
more than two hours' time. The men went
out of the cemetery and down the railroad
track, as Palmer and his assistant ap
proached their hiding-place. 'On Thursday
rive men visited the cemetery during the day
and paid particular attention to that part of
the grounds in which the late Count's grave
is located, and that night Palmer kept four
men on guard. :••-.■- '■ •» •

-OUEI-V NEWS.
I Startling Rumors . front the Afghan
Frontier.
. New York, January 10th.— London dis
patch Bays : There is a rumor about town to
the effect that the Government is in posses
sion of startling and alarming news front In
dia, which it is endeavoring to keep secret
until a Cabinet council can be held to con
sider it. Mohammed Jan is believed to have
been reinforced by several thousand of Shere
Ali's regulars, from whom the cannon now
mounted at Ghuznai were probably obtained.
He has assumed political as well as military
authority, and is collecting revenues in the
name of Meiwa Khan, whom he pretends to
regard as the rightful and reigning Ameer,
though temporarily kept out of his capital
by forcible occupation by the British. He has
sent emissaries to Turkistan, commissioned to
stir the people up to engage in immediate
warfare upon the British, as the common
enemy ; and - the probabilities are said to
be that on account of his high repu
tation , as a soldier and commander in
the wars with Turkistan, he will have no in
considerable success in raising men to join
him in Ghuznai, or to begin hostilities on a
home basis. It is not believed that General
Roberts will hazard an advance on Ghuznai
before spring. The difficult nature of the
road between the capital and the fortress will
of itself preclude this during the winter, ren
dering an advance almost or quite as perilous
from Cabul ss from Candahar, from which
point the contemplated expedition is for the
present abandoned, although the distance is
only about one-third as great. The rumor
that Abdul Karura is raising a force in Ko
histan for Mohammed, is regarded as well
authenticated. The fact that* Ghuznai
is understood to be a most important center
of the military operations of the insurgents,
and is the strongest fortress in the country,
and that no efforts are proposed toward its
capture, is held here to be significant of the
existing situation in British Afghanistan.

A Sensation in a Cbnrch.
London, January 10th. — The most intense
excitement was occasioned to-day by a sensa
tional scene in the Halton Garden Italian
Church. While the priest was celebrating
mass, a man in the audience fired a pistol at
him. The church was crowded, atid the noise
caused a semi-panic. The altar was struck
by the bullet, and subsequently the flames
started out from the sides of the altar, and
the church was damaged £1,000. The man
was arrested after a hard fight by the, police,
and when taken into custody had a long
stiletto in his hand, with which he attempted
to stab those who seized him. .

[DISPATCHES OF Saturday AND SUNDAY-!
Aiovsta, January 9t!t. — The House continued In
Session all the atternoon, waiting for a quorum, and
no business transacted. [ About forty members
were present, conversing in groups. Mr. Talbot,
Speaker, Colonel Wm. Dinkey, Mr. Perry, of Cam
den, Mr. Plaisted, and other leaders, bad frequent
consultations, and appeared anxious at the sitoatian
of affairs. Fears seemed to be . expressed, . and
grave apprehensions entertained that tbe Republi
cans were about to swoop down upon them and
capture the Government. A Committee was ap
pointed to wait upon Major-GeLeral Chamberlain in
regard to the co dition ol affaire. They inquired if
he would use his power to protect the two booses.
The General would mate no promises, but tbat he
would do his duty as acting Governor and Com
mander-in-Chief, no one doubts. The House is evi
dently anxious to get a quorum.
1 A STUBBORN MEMBER. * '-.
' The Fusionists again sent IBs Mr. Voter ol F»nn
ingtoii, who has frequently refused to Uke hie cer
tificate. It was reported the session was prolonged
in waiting for Mr. Voter, but he failed to come, and
at a quarter to 6 o'clock the House adjourned with
out transacting any business during the afternoon.
• CAUCUSING.
While Fusionist leaders are doing their best to
rally their forces by constant caucuses and personal
appeals, it is the general opinion that their forces
are weakening, and if it shall prove to be the plan
of the Republicans to tire their opponents out and
make them give up from sheer exhaustion, tbe
early developments seem to argue success. J
, ORDER TO PROTECT STATE PROPERTT.
The following special order was issued by Acting
Governor Chamberlain this afternoon :
Lieutenant-Colonel John Marshall Brown is to
charge himself with the duty of examining the sev
eral public rooms with a view to their security, and
is authorized to make such arrangements for guaids
as be may deem necessary for the protection of pub
lic property. J. L. CHAMBERLAIN.
General Chamberlain's administration is heartily
commended.
ARMS SENT BACK TO BANCOR.
Augusta, January 9th. — The arms brought to
this city from Bangor, and placed in the State
House, were sent back to Bangor this afternoon by
order of General Chamberlain. The arms were
contained in tin boxes, and were loaded in the cars
in the presence of a happy crowd. They were dis- '
patched in charge, of Captain J. W. Berry, of
Gardiner. ,
REPUBLICAN GOSSIP.
Augusta, January 9th.— There is talk to-night
of a compromise suggested by Fusionists, but it
meets with no favor from Republicans who are
more compactly united than ever. Their confer
ence meeting this afternoon showed them a unit
in determination to stand together and not suffer
the least break in their lines. The policy they
have adopted is perfectly peaceful. The more im
pulsive are in favor of taking possession of the
State House at once by force of arms ; but this
does not meet with any favor from the leaders.
Leaders of both parties remain in the city for the
present
DENIAL FROM BLAINE.
Boston, January 10th.— Senator Blame, in reply
to insinuations that he is implicated in the alleged
bribery cases in Maine, replies as follows : " What
ever the form or phase of accusation, I pronounce
it an unqualified calumny, and merely a part of a
monstrous, wicked and unparalleled conspiracy to
deprive a free people of their suffrage by fraud,
forgery and perjury. I am busy night and day in
the task of thwarting the conspiracy, and it is
merely a part of their dastardly and despicable
course to invent some form of slander against me.
j I have not seen the charge, but I know it is a lie
- out of whole cloth, and 1 cannot now be diverted
from the real work in hand to do more than de
nounce the calumny and its authors."
PILLSBURY PROSECUTED.
Augusta, January llth.— Lewis Barker, in behalf
of his client, Ebenezer Spaul, of Veazle, has attached
the property of E. F. Pillsbury, of the Maine Stand
ard, on a libel based upon an article that paper
charging bribery. Personal service will be made on
Pillsbury to-morrow. The case will be tried in
Penobscot county.
f- A QUORUM WANTED.
It is hinted that the programme of the Fusionists
will be. to send the Sergeant at- Arms from the
House to* arrest either Eugene Hale or Profess* r
Young, or both, and bring them to the House
to form a quorum. It is now utterly
iniprisiiblc to secure a quorum unless the
presence of th\. Republican members is secure*, !
and that seems hardly possible, as the failure
to secure a quorum thus far bas more strongly
intrenched the Republicans in their position.
The Fusionists will exhaust every possible
means to elect a Governor and Council, which will
be the signal for proceeding to business, which has
been suspen ed entirely. How such an e'ection can
be held, and bow it would Vie regarded by General
Chamberlain, now acting as Governor, is not known,
but that it is contemplated is gathered from con
sultation with leading Fusionists and their remarks
in the Senate. The feeling is quite general that
members from the cities will be allowed soon to take
their seats.
Major Smith, the Greenback candidate, left for
home Saturday, but expects to return the first of
the week.
D. F. Davis remains on the ground.
REMOVAL OF THE POLICE REQUESTED.
On Saturday prominent Fusionists applied to
General Chamberlain for the discharge of the Au-
gxtmXM police in charge of the State House, express
ing the belief that the public property was not en
dangered. General Chamberlain informed them
that if the request was granted he would order two
companies of militia to lake their place, i The order
was written for two companies to come by the _>
o'clock train, but the gentlemen making the request
changed their minds, and the order was canceled.
THE BKir.EKY CHARGE — CARD FROM WALLACE
R. WHITE.
Augusta, January llth.— The following card from
Wallace 11. White will be published to-morrow :
Wintiiroi' (Me.), January Eth.
On Wednesday last, just before the Legislature
w-as to be organized, two affidavits, signed by '1 hoy.
B. Swan and Moses llarriman respectivt ly, appeared
in the 3lai*>e Standard, stating that some person or
agent bad given them §1,000 in cash to sta}* away
from the Legislature. Rumor connected my name
therewith. I did not see fit to reply to the state
ments or affidavits, which did not have semblance
enough of truth to give the name of the person ac
cused, j This morning my name appeared for the i
first time in said paper. The statements contained
in said paper, so far as they concern mc, are abso
lutely, unqualifiedly and maliciously false. I never
offered, paid or gave said Thomas B. Swan or Moses
llarriman one dollar in money, directly or indirect-
L, for the purpose of kfluencing their action or
votes, or for any other purpose whatever. I make
this general and unqualified det-ial, and shall
demand the fullest investigation at the proper
time. Ko fair investigation, however, can be had
before an unlawfully organized House of Represent
atives, every one if whose members openly ap
prove of the conduct of. llarriman and Swan, and
glory in their shame. It is a sad spectacle in Maine
to sec 75 Democrats and Greenbackers rejoicing In a
crime which, if actually committed, can be punished
under the statutes of Maine with five years in the
Penitentiary. I object to being investigated by co
conspirators of Swan and llarriman. We ! don't
constitute juries in that way in Kennebec county.
j WALLACE R. WHITB. :
W. 11. White has been summoned to appear be
fore the Bribery Committee of the House, but will
refuse to appear on the grounds stated above.

two residents of Fresno, and A.
' Berlin, were driven on private
conveyances to the point of interest. -The
weather was everything that could.be asked,,
scarcely a cloud to be seen. At exactly a
quarter before 3, according to the watches of
tne party, the first contact was seen.: At a
quarter past 3 something like one-half of the
sun's diameter was covered, and the decreas
ing light became apparent. At 3:30 the sua
passed down behind a mass of light clouds,
which were not, however, dense enough to ob-- !
scura the view. In fifteen minutes they
were entirely out of the way, and during
the remainder of the eclipse the view was
perfectly uninterrupted. At 3:45 the gloom
had deepened until the iky assumed a
leaden hue and spread a ghastly
pallor over the faces of the | party. .
The horses became restless, aud the chickens
showed unmistakable signs of looking out. for
a place to roost. At 3:50 the remaining cres--.
cent had become quite attenuated, and the
herns had shortened until it extended around
only one-third the circumference. The sky
became more leaden, and the snow-covered.
Sierras were rapidly losing their rugged out
lines. The crescent now formed but a thin
line, and the horns contracted so rapidly that
the motion was distinctly visible, and finally
at seven minutes before 4 the last ray of
light was put out by the black disc of the
moon. As the last ' ray disappeared the co
rona of clear white light entirely circling the
moon flashed into view. Near the edge of
the moon the fringe of light was of a brill
iant white, which gradually faded towards
the outer limit until within a distance of
about one-tenth of the diameter of the disc,
when it blended into the leaden hue of the
sky. Those provided with £«*_!_ glasses wit-'"**
nessed a scene never to bejf orgotten.
