THE LEFEVRE MURDER.
3 A shocking murder was committed in
Oakland on Monday. A young married
man named Schroeder walked into the of
fice of a dentist named Lefevre, and shot
him mortally without explanation of any
kind. Subsequently it was given out that
the wife of the murderer had accused the
victim of having outraged her while she
was under the influence of chloroform.
Whether this id the story to be relied upon
by the defense* his not yet appeared, ..but
if it is, the only passible conclusion is that
the defense is fearfully inadequate. In the
first place tho circumstances under which
Dr. Lefevre was in the habit df operating
appears to have utterly precluded the pos
sibility of such a crime on his part. It is
the testimony of his assistants that he never
■ operated upon a female patient without wit
nesses, and those who are at all familiar
with the effects of chloroform and other
ana;3thetics upon women will be aware
that all dentists have good cause for just
such caution. For it is a fact well known
to medical mtu that women are frequently
subject to hallucinations when under the
influence of these drags, and that in this
; peculiar condition they are apt to form the
impression thtt they have been improperly
dealt with. The books abound with simi
lar charges against dentists and physicians,
and most of them have been made
under circumstances leaving no possibility
of doubt as to the illusive nature of the
belief. It would seem that the drug in
such cases produces mental effects corre
sponding closely to those of various hys
terical affections, under the influence of
which latter diseases women have often
made the most preposterous accusations
against innocent person?, and have con
il icted themselves in a way to mako it
evident that they were temporarily insane.
It seems, however, that in the present case
the husband accepted his wife's statement
without the least inquiry, aud that he in
stantly rushed off to kill the supposed
assailaut of his honor and domestic peace.
It is perhspi necessary to point out farther
that, however strongly the homicidal t. n-
Uency may arise even in c.ises where the
evidence is much more conclusive than
here, no man can be justified in taking
upon himxlf the functions of the Courts.
Ttie expression " taking the law into one's
"oun hands" is indeed misleading. The
rnau bo kills another under such circum
st.'Uiceg takes no law into his hands. On
the contrary he outrages ail law, and he
becomes himself the m tat heinous criminal.
There ha» been far too much sentimental
aad loose talk about matter* of
this kind. It might be thought, indeed,
that the law was at last only an auxiliary
maohiuery, good enough for trifling cases,
feat to be not such whenever grave circum
stances arose. This is not a civilized
but a barbarous view to take, and it is time
the fact was recognized. No injury justi
fies homicides, but an attempt to murder.
In the case under notice it stems only too
probable that a dreadful murder has been
. committed upon no better justification than
the hallucination of an hysterical woman.
Should this prove to be the caa?, what
, position will the murderer occupy ? He ap
■' pears to ' have made no investigation, to
kave given hi* victim no opportunity for
defense or explanation, and having shot him
down as though fa • hal been a dog, he seems
to think that he has djuc a praiseworthy
deed. This is a very shocking case, and if
it turns out as some men think it will, the
community will have a coLflict of off-hand
murders which may cause a healthy reac
tion against the border-ruffian method of
redrawing real or fancied injuries.

POLITICAL TOM-TOM BEATING.
The Democrats have begun the campaiga
this year with so remarkable an ebullition
of bravado that it might be thought their
leaders supposed it possible to carry the
Presidential election by mere declamation.
This exhibition of braggadocio is the more
singular when it is seen how little sub
stantial basis there is for any premature re
joicing on the Deir.ocratic side. It is true
that at least they have a Union soldier at
the head of their ticket, but when that is
said all is said. They have the same old
bad record to defend, the same objections
to clear away, the same obstacles to en
counter which have always hitherto pre
vrcted them from succeeding. Their pres
ent premature boastings are therefore ex
ceedingly impudent and foolish, and we
do not wonder that the New York Herald,
which is supposed just now to be a sort of
independent Democratic journal, rebukes
themsharply fortheirschool-boy antics. The
Herald says : " The simple truth ia, that in
"order to win the Democrats need to cease
• 'fuddling their brains with gas and froth
" as soon as possible, and apply themselves
" to prove to the country that the}' are fit
"to run and capable of governing the
" United States. The Republicans have
"no need to show capacity for Govern
"ment. They have demonstrated it for
"twenty years. This much is only to
"prove fitness to retain power, and ca
" p.icity to wield it. But the Democrats
"have a double burden of proofs to sus
" tain, and do time to spare, and they
"must prepare for some costly sacrifices
"in the demonstration. If they are fit to
" govern they must confirm the sincerity of
"the revenues tariff and free ship resolu
tions of the Cincinnati platform in the
"conduct of their canvass. This may cost
" them Pennsylvania irretrievably. They
" must antagonize the Republican plans by
"profuse appropriations for internal im
" provements. This may weaken them
"in the Mississippi Valley. They must
" set their faces against repudiation in any
"guise. This may sacrifice the electoral
"vote of Virginia. They must demand
"absolute stability in the value of the na
" tional currency, which is impossible
"so long as legal tender green
"backs are afloat, and eighty-eight
" cent silver dollars are coined by
"the ton. This may immolate them in
" Indiana." The Herald thinks that if
they are afraid to do all these things they
miy as well give up hope of success. If
that is their only chance, however, it may
be set down as gone already, for nothing
can be more certain than that they will
follow none of the suggestions quoted
above. The Herald would apparently be
pleased to see the Democrats win the right,
and therefore it tenders them the best ad
vice it can give. But if Democratic suc
cess is dependent upon honest and faithful
living up to the platform, and the carrying
out of sound national legislation, it is the
wildest folly to expect anything of the
kind, for the Democratic party has at every
»tcp shown a total incapacity to realize tke
actual needs of the country.
The present beating of tom-toms is quite
of a piece with all its previous proceedings,
and rightly examined it will be sure to
be a forlorn hope. The Democratic
leaders are sagacious enough to perceive
that they are not prepared for sober argu
ment ; that their support is too discordant
on all living issues, and their record too
bad, to give them any hope of success in
controversy. And therefore they are re
»olved, as the only course open to them,
to whoop up the biggest touting they
can, and make their campaign one of tom
tom beating exclusively, trusting to the
cohesive power of public plunder for the
strength of the final charge on the day of
election. As usual this Democratic plan
is fatuous. The leaders might have learned
in all these years of fierce contest that
the Itepublican party is not to be
frightened or overcume a3 the walls of
Jericho were thrown down, by a severe
blowing of trumpets. The organization
which has governed the country for twenty
years shows something of political methods,
and it understands itself well enongh to
proceed quietly without losing ground. It
will soon bring the Democrats off their
high horse- nonsense. They will be obliged
to realize that the country i 3 not prepared
to take them at their own estimate, but
that they must bring credentials and proofs
of capacity sufficient to outweigh all the
services of their opponents. Can they do
this ? The Herald seems to assume that
they can if they will. We, on the other
hand, declare that it is not in their power
to vindicate their pretenses, and that this
13 the true reason for their hysterical and
continued rejoicings. The fact is that
when it cornea to a question of proofs of
capacity and trustworthiness they must be
thrown out of Court, for all the evidence
in these premises only tells the other way.
Sot have they any policy of a kind to
recommend them. States rights 13 their
special predilection, and nullification, au<i
t.nth of them they must disclaim before
they can get a hearing. They are inspired
by the great hope of filling the eighty
thousand offices of the republic, and be
yond that the majority of them do not
look. The few who have deeper purposes
are contemplating schemes the consumma-
tiou of which would neutralize all the work
U'HiC in suppressing ihe rebellion, aud it is
not by ventilating wuch projects that they
can. t.xpect t'> mako votes. Thf-y think
they have an easy campaign before them,
but they will find it the hardest ami
b ttest they have ever been engaged in.
MR. BERGH DESERTS HIS COLORS.
We learn with surprise and dismay that
Mr. Bergfa, the life-long champion of the
animal world, has deserted his color.*, ami
literally abandoned the cats of New York
to destruction. He is represented as de
claring that there are too many cats in the
Empire city, ami that they ought to be
thinned out. Nay, lie has even proposed
me thuds for slaughtering them <a nuute,
an 1 in short it is only too apparent that he
lias been demoralized by these feline scre
naders which produce such steady crops of
bootjacks and hair-braiders in the back
yard* of New Y> ik. Mr. Bergh does cot
appear to perceive, however, that in " go
"ing back "on the cats, he is weakening
his authority terribly. In fact be is like
the liberal preachers who to meet modern
ideas surrender the doctrines of plenary
importance, only to discover that tiny
have thrown their best known anchor
away, and that they are thenceforth in
capable of withstanding the attacks of the |
wicked. He will lind when it is too late
that in abandoning the midnight cats he j
has undermined his whole cystrni, and he
will no longer be regarded as the crazy but
consistent champion of everything animate
save mankind.
The ]iv,ii'irs ami insane of Clackamas

the purchase and establishment of a poor
f arm.
THE OBELISK.
The Egyptian Obelisk has arrived at
New York, or as the Post of that city puts
it, ' ' The silent guardian that for ages
"stood by the Temple of the Setting Sun
"at Heliopolis has followed that orb three
" thousand miles acros3 the western sea."
Now that the Obelisk has arrived safely,
the first fact that will strike all
who possess common sense will be its
utter incongruity with its surround
ings.- The idea of deporting these monu
ments of our earliest civilization, and set
ting them up as decorations for modern
cities, is indeed thoroughly Gothic. Lon
don and New York have committed the
same folly, and both are equally to blame.
Egyptian obelisks have their habitat on
the border of the Nile, and they cannot be
transplanted without at once losing all
their native significance, and making their
new surroundings ridiculous. The only
consideration which suggests itself in
contemplating this vandalism is the
thought that ages hence, when the
transient works of this race of
flimsy builders have crumbled away, and
a few brick-grown mouudj reach the sites
of our most pretentious public edifices,
Macauley's New Zealander will appear on
the sceue, and discerning this obelisk
(which is tolerably sure to outlast any
contemporary structures) will proceed to
erect an ingenious theory of the peopling
of the American continent by the old in
habitants of the Nile Taliey. Nor is it
improbable that the hypotheaus ao built
up would be at least as plausible, and per
haps even as near the truth as a great
many theories which have engaged the at
tention of the learned in our own times,
and have formed the beliefs of thousands
of confiding souls. In truth there is dan
ger in bringing the enduring work of the
Egyptians into competition with our frail
and ephemeral structures, and those who
have any regard for the future reputation
of the xVmerican nation ought to have pro
tested against the measure while yet there
was time.
THE REVENUE QUESTION.
A New York journal professes to think
that though platforms .is a rule mean little,
yet that the Democratic resolutions about
a tariff for revenue only, do mean some-
•thing, inasmuch as the Democracy has
always been a free trade party, and that
"if they should get in they would give
"effect, in a more or less marked degree,
"to this declaration." Our esteemed con
temporary appears to have completely for
gotten that the Democrats have now had
control of Congress for some time, and that
though they have had full opportunity to
show their faith by their works, they have
never dons anything to prove their prefer
ence for the doctrine they profess. At the
last session they absolutely refused to
agree to a tariff reform measure, and they
acted only aB obstructionists when bills
looking to this end were introduced.
Why, then, should it be thought probable
that if they had full control of the
Government they would be more faithful
to their original principles than they now
are? The fact is that they have not for
the 'ast twenty years shown any regard for
free trade, and we predict that during the
present campaign they will never so much
as suggest the thing, save where Protection
is already dead. No Democrat will go
down into Pennsylvania and preach Free
Trade this fall, but every Democrat who
speaks there will interpret the plank in
the Cincinnati platform as meaning Protec
tion, when rightly understood. The party
has no longer any convictions which it is
not perfectly willing to change to-morrow
should they appear to be unpalatable ; at
least while campaigns are pending.
Spiral Enssot. — Starting with his the
ory that the energy of a bar magnet acts
along spiral lines, Dr. Shuttle surmises
that the energy proceeding from ths sun
and striking the earth on the zone of the
• diptic traverses the earth in a spiral path,
and finally emerges at the magnetic poles.
The spiral of energy ia "right-handed" at
one pole and "left-handed" at the other,
like the magnetic force in a magnet, and
tin; electric liischarge in Crookes' vacuum
"!i!>e?. Liki- to precession and nutation,
he hoi is that these spiral paths are con
stantly changing and producing mag
netic variations, and he suspects that
the magnetic poles will complete a
cycle corresponding to the period of
precession. Altogether, spiral energy is
made to play a most important part by
It. Shettle. Ho holds that all bodies ex
hibit magnetic properties just in the degree
that they are capable of changing the energy
traversing them into the spiral form. The
solar radiance on this hypothesis would
not only be the cause of terrestrial magnet
ism, but of gravity itself, as well as a host
of other phenomena, such as those of elec
tricity aud those attending tornadoes,
cyclones, water- spouts, etc. The I >octor
by no means intends to confine his theory
to the earth, but makes its operation uni
versal.
Excavations at Pompeii.— The recent
excavation of a house in Pompeii, which is
perhaps the largest and best pre-erved of
all antique dwellings known, has excited
the greatest interest. The building, two
(tones high, contains a double atrium and
tablinium. In the middle of the spacious
peristyle there stand* an ornamental foun
tain. A complete bath has also been found,
which will doubtless throw much light
upon questions of arrangement. It is this
jurt of the complex Roman dwelling-house
upon which the opinions of archaeological
authorities have hitherto been most at va
riance. The decorative paintings of the in
terior hive been executed with great taste
and are will preserved. Those of the sec
ond story, representing marine animals, are
especially interesting. The frescoes of the
two wiug9 of the building show scenes of
animal life like those much in vogue about
tho advent of the Christian era, and known
Irom many examples previously discovered
in the buried cities. These excellently
preserved works, so characteristic of the
time and place in which they were exe
cuted, cannot but add valuable illustrations
to the history of Roman painting. Aa
early pubiicantion of the plan and details
of the house is promised by the Archaeo
logical Society.
AHOXU. — The llev. Mr. White of New
Hampshire has founded a sect culled An
gelic Believers. They believe in the dispo
sition of angels to visit earth's people, if
they were only properly encoura.ed. His
<>! ject is to restore the bid sociability be
twecu human and angelic beings. la a
ferniou lately White said that it would not
surprise him to have angels call upon him
at any time, and he held himsc If in readi
ness to give them welcome. Three boys
resolved that White's faith should be
rewarded. One of them borrowed three of
his sister's night-gowUR, and got three pair
of chicken wings, which were fastened on
the shoulders of the white garments. With
some other fixings by way of disguise, the
boys went at night to the cottage of White.
They knocked and said they were angels.
He examined their wings and raiment, and
was satisfied. They were hungry, and
asked for kid. White had no kid. A
fatted calf would do. White had no calf,
and offered them pork, at which they
turned up their noses. Some cold chicken
I set before them, and hard cider, and
were enjoying the rt-past when Mrs.
:c came in. Site was suspicious, and

CARL SCHURZ.
WHAT HE HAD TO SAY ABOUT MATTERS
POLITICAL AKD OTHERWISE.
The arrival in California of a man who has
filled co large a part in the history of the
country as Carl Sehurz invests the occasion
with public importance and interest, which
are augmented by the fact that he is at the
head of one of the most important depart
ments of the national Government. To these
is to be added the fact Mr. Schurz is an ex
ample of what a foreigner can do in this
Republic. A refugee from European kingly
power, he fled to America, where his native
ability paved the way for him to attain the
position of honor — a place of lofty trust— he
now fills, the open estetm and admiration of
one of the s,-reat political purties of the Union,
and the respect for and acknowledgment of
his genius and statesmanship by all. Mr.
Schurz, as Secretary of the Interior, de
termined to visit and inspect some of the In
diau reservations, and Mr. Schurz, as a
private individual, resolved to take his two
daughters with him and make a Hying trip
to California as a part of his summer recrea
tion. He inspected the Pyramid Lake Res
ervation, in Nevada, the other day, as the
western limit of his official visit, and, bsfore
extending the t>;ur into the Yellowstone
country, in his private capacity he started
for California to spend
A FEW DAYS
In this favored clime. He left Reno at 7
a. IS. for this State. At the v same hour a
representative of the Recoed-Uxiox left this
city by an up train, and landing at Auburn,
awaited the arrival of the lightning: express,
or, as the railroad men term It, No. 6, in
order to enjoy an opportunity fur an hour's
quiet conversation with the Secretary on
matters of public importance, ana concerning
which his expressions will be read with
interest. •
Mr. Schurz was found in a Union Pacific
parlor car, surrounded by the members of his
party — the two Misses Schurz, bis nephew,
Mr. Miles ; bis friend, Henry Gaullieur, of
Kinibal), Gaullieur & (Jo., New York, and
his private secretary, E. D. Hanna. The
Secretary received his visitor cordially, and
extended to him the hospitalities of his car.
The purpose of the call was announced and
Mr. Schurz, with an amused expression, at
once began to forestall an interview by turn
ing the tables upon his caller and applying to
the journalist the conversational test himself,
but with what was evidently a sincere desire
to gain information from all sources relative
to the State he had just entered. His qnes
.tions ran rapidly, something after this order.
"I suppose I will find the changes very
marked since I was here in 18G9?"
"Oh, yes; I spoke at the City Gardens
at the time to which you refer."
" What do Republicans think about car
rying the State
"Ab ! I'm glad to hear that you believe
you will win."
" What has become of the agitation
party — the Workingmen's Kearney party?"
" I expected as much, and thought
they'd go back to the Democracy, where most
of them came from. But you say a few
have rallied for the Greenback party ? It's
no use." ._: . ;.:
" How are the Germans standing on the
political issues ?"
" No ; I suppose the campaign has not suf
ficiently advanced for you to determine as to
the extent of changes yet, but am glad to
hear bo many are for Garfield."
" You think the native Californians will
have considerable to do with the result ? Will
Mr. Pacheco make a canvass iii the south of
the State ?"
"You say business stagnated in California,
•specially in San Francisco ? As I expected.
The people attribute it to the labor agitation?
Well, that was to be expected. The result is
not surprising."
" What do you people think of the Chinese
question now ? Is it still prominent ? "
i "Of course, I know the people of Cali
fornia are nearly all opposed to the immigra
tion, but are none opposing the agitation ? "
[Air. Schurz, subsequently remarking on this
topic, expressed the hope that the question
will be settled satisfactorily to this people,
said that a strong prejudice had been create!
against it at the East, by the advent of
Kearney there, and his loud-mouthed
brawling and profanity, and that the peo
ple took Kearney for a fair example of all
the people opposing Chinese immigration.]
The conversation then drifted, Mr. Sell
freshening it constantly by questions, to the
subject of immigration to the State — is it de
sired ; the productions of the soil ; the capa
bilities of the foothills ; what a man with
small means or no means can do on land here ;
the availability of labor; results of fruit and
grape culture in the foothills, etc. ; and
finally, by making a dead-set with a question,
the news man got
A GIMLET-i'OINTED QUESTION
in, and the Secretary was driven to an
3nswer.
Question — Mr. Schurz, what is your opinion
of the political eituation at the Kast?
Answer — Well, really, I don't care to be
interviewed. Now, please don't write down
all I shall say ; but you may say, if my opin
ion is of value, that I consider the outlook
for the Republican party at the East most
hopeful. It is too early in the campaign yet
to bay more than that, but there is the
strongest ground for the belief that the party
will win the victory.
y. — How about Pennsylvania?
A. — No well-informed Democrat now ex
presses any hope of overcoming the R publi
can majority there. Pennsylvania nai~.t be
conceded to us.
Q. — The Democrats here do not admit it.
A. — Oh, well, at the opening of a cam
paign they are always jubilant, always
churning great tl-in:,.-: ; the Democracy is es
pecially strong in thai line in every campaign.
IJ. — Ohio, you of course, reckon for Gar
field?
A. — Unquestionably.
il. — And as to lndiara?
A. — Our prospects there are brighter than
they have oeen for \ ears, Our friends are
very confident there. At the same time they
recognize the fact thai hard work muit be
djne, and they are doing i 1;.
q.— What effect wil that Supreme Court
decision have there ?
A. — I think a bad (ne for Democrats. It
eieated great dissatisfaction among both
Democrats and Republicans who voted for
the i-oi.stituti n.il an endments, and many
Democrats, it is believed, will not support
their ticket because of it
Q — Y -u thir,k then that it will affect the
Presidential election ?
A. — I think ho. You remember that two
Democratic Judges g:.ve dissenting opinions.
Q.— What do you tl.ink of New York, and
the Jit-publican prospect there ?
A. — I cannot tell. New York is a con
tested State. Republican friends there speak
very confidently, ard are lull of hope of a
decisive victory in that State.
> Q. — Illinois, lowa and the West, are con
ceded lit publican ?
A. — They are certainly to be so Bet down.
In fact they are not discussed at all.
,>. — Will the Republican party at the East
make a vigorous campaign in the Smith ?
A. — I am not informed as to that, but I
learn that Governor Jewell is in favor of do
ing so.
Q.— What, Mr. Schurz, do you consider
the situation to be ?
THE SITIATION.
A. — We have two parties in fact, one
fay ( ring a change, one willing to let well
cur.ugh alone. Those are the two great par
ties. My special views I fully set forth in
my speech at Indianapolis, which the
RXOORD Union published to-day, and I need
not £O into detail over that ground. I have
there said all I care to repeat ax to the par
ties. Is'ow we must, as Republicans, appeal
to the conservative elements — the independ
ent voter is the man to decide this contest.
I mean the voter who votes independent of
party. What do the Den ocrats in Califor
nia indicate their line of attack to be?
A. — Thus far we have had but few of them
on the stand. Two of the Democratic
electors have been r>n the Etuuip. One threw
mud at General GarnVid, and ipoict of noth
ing else but "Credit Mobilier " and "De
Golver contract."
Mr. Schurz — That will not avail them any
thing. There's nothing in it. At the East
people don't ray any attention to it.
A. — The other devoted himself to States
ri. lit> largely, and rlextarcd that tha nomina
tion ot General Hancock has taken the
bloody shirt out of the ounprigF, and robbed
the K'tiuhlicans of their we«j" n.
Mr. Schurz— Why the blor<!y shirt, if in
the campaign — admitting wl at the Demo
crats claim for the argument s*sake — would
have no effect upon it. Lr ok at our elec
tions two > ears ago w lure the bloody shirt
wasn't even mentioned, and look at the re
sult* of the canvasses— the Republican vic
tories.
y. — How long will you stay in San Fran
cisco, Mr. Schurz?
A.— Four days, and then we go to Yo
semite, and then directly F.ast.
Q. — Why, you make a short stop ?
A. — Yes, of necessity. I have to be in
Salt Lake August 7th.
Q. — Will you epeak to the reople in San
Fimaciaoi i !
A. — I cannot say. I have lut a brief time
to stop, and 1 do not exprct to speak at all.
Q — The people of Sacren.tnto expect to
hear you in their city.
A.— Oh. 1 can't think of it.
Q. — Can't you stop over as you return ?
A. — I cannot .- >:e how I <an do so.
Q. — They will ba disappointed in Sacra-
A. — We can't tell now ; it seems very im
probable that we can stop over. I must be in
bait Lake August 7th. Igo north from there
to the Yellowstone country. I have just
come from the Pyramid Lake Reservation.
Q.— How did you find matters there, if it
is not « ttate secret ?
A.— Very satisfactory. The Piutes there
cannot do so well as they might, because of
the lack of agricultural Und. They are em
ployed largely by the whites, and seem to be
contented. These people are quite scattered,
and find employment at different points.
The whites say they would not for anything,
hardly, be deprived of the ludians as hired
laborers, and seem to be satisfied with them.
Q. — Referring again to the campaign, Mr.
Schurz, what is your opinion of the whole
outlook for the Republicans ?
A. — Very promising, very hopeful. The
conservative business people are going for
Garfield I thiuk. All the factions we must
expect to go to the Democracy.
Q. — But the Greeubackers — are they
counted as of effect in the campaign as a
party, and will their vote make matters
doubtful in any State?
A. — The Greenback party we iv the East
do not count in the fight as being liable to
produce any effect.
Q. — Is there any alarm among the business
men of the East at the possibility of a change
from one party to the other in power ?
A. — I can't say as to that. The campaign
is not sufficiently opened yet to tell what the
feeling may be fully among that class ; but to
the conservative business element, which I
believe is coming to the support of the party,
we must appeal. As I said in my remarks at
ludianapidi*, to the business man, the manu
facturer, the farmer, the question is, where
does their safety reside — in which party?
And, as I said there, I can't see what there is
to induce them to leave the path of safety for
an uncertain one. By the way, have you seen
Secretary Thompson ':
A. — N<>. sir. He went to Mare Island yes
terday. He is expected to speak in this
State. President Hayes is to visit California
this lull, you know ?
Q.— WliPn ? Is it settled as to date ?
A. — In September. It is understood to be
settled that he will attend the State Fair as
the guest of the State Agricultural Society.
Let me a»k you once more as to Indiana,
what is it gives the Republicans such hope
there ?
A. — Mr. English is not popular there, the
Greenback nominee for Governor is unpopu
lar, the decision of the Supreme Court has
disgusted great numbers and will hurt the
Democratic party. The Republicans are do
ing good work and men are thinking, and so
the outlook encourages the Republicans
greatly.
Q. — I would like to ask you other specific
questions as to other States
A. — I have told you all I have personal
knowledge of. I have told you how the
prospect seems to me. I have no definite
information further, or I would give it to
you. I don't care to have you write down
any more. I've set out in the speech pub
lished in the Record-Union my views as to
the campaign and tully.
FURTHER CONVEKSATIU.N.
At this point dinner was announced for the
party, the conversation came to a close, and
the visitor retired. In the above report the
language of Mr. Schnrz has been condensed,
but for convenience the questions and an
swers have been preserved in the first person.
Mr. Schurz was not inclined to express him
self positively as a political prophet, and
plainly indicated that he did not set himself
up in that capacity, and that he regards
the possibilities of the future as alto
gether too uncertain in politics for
any one, however settled in his own opinions
and beliefs, to make expression of them in a
manner to lead others to rely upon them. He
frequently said that the independent voter
mu.«t decide the election, and to his thorough
conviction as to what he should do Republi
cans should address themselves. As to the
bloody shirt business, it* elimination from
the campaign he a second time referred, Bay
ing that there was no need to shake it for
straight Republicans, and Democrats no one
expect- d to influence by it, and it wa3 there
fore of no effect, and had not been for years
in politics. He inquired warmly concerning
Senator Booth, expressed his high esteem for
ex-Senator Casserly, and said he wished to
meet him. He asked after Captain Kudu,
and hoped to meet him also. After dinner
the representative of the Record-Union
again called on Mr. Schurz. Political topics
were resumed, the same ground?, in part,
gone over again, the Secretary saying he had
nothing to add to what he had said and what
he had set forth in hia speech. He thought
this ought to be a campaign of reason entirely,
and if it was he had little if any doubt as to
the result. He was much interested in the
low lands, ad the American liver was ap
proached, anl listened with deep interest to
the story of Hie filling up of the river and the
obliteration of its old banks.
He was surprised at the extent of the de
posits, and had no idea they were so great or
destructive as stated.
" You should go up the Yuba, Feather and
Bear rivers and see the effects there."
" I should like to. I saw where, up about
Dutch Flat, the hilla bad been washed
down."
"But that is not a circumstance to other
works you can easily visit."
" What U being done about it?"
"The engineers hope to build dams to
restrain the heavier debris."
" What will become of the lighter sedi
ment I"
" How do your people benefit, then ? " ,
"The engineers expect to increase the ca
pacity of the river so that it will carry the
sediment."
. '"Ah, yen, I see; and sweep it down into
San Francisco bay ? "
" I suppose bo ; or out to sea."
"It is a great question, and your city is,
you say, part of the year below the surface
level of the waters in the rivers ? "
"It is. Remove this trouble, and you will
see what a city Sacramento will be."
"Ah, yes; I see. Look at those delightful
broad avenues, my daughters. What .-hade !
What handsome avenues ! What is the pop
ulation of Sacramento, sir ? "
"We claim about 24,000 or 25,000 as our
actual and suburban population. Don't you
think, Mr. Secretary, that the Government
ought to preserve this Sacramento river, the
chief navigable stream of this State ? "
♦ *\ir !1 »»
V(rll, —
" Isn't it a natural highway, an inherit
ance of the people ? "
" Certainly."
"Shouldn't the Government prevent its
obliteration, think you, and save this inherit
ance to the people, and keep the stream nav
igable ? " . . >
" Well, but you people ef California have
permitted this destruction to go on and "
.lust at this point the train stopped in the
depot and a great crowd of people came up
to the car. The Secretary came upon the
platform and was introduced to Secretary of
State .Burns, Attorney-General Hart, State
Treasurer Wiel, Controller of State Kenfield,
Surveyor-General Shanklin, Adjutant Gen
eral Backus, Messrs. Blanchard, Hornblower,
Fritz Post and very many others. He came
down on the walkway, was surrounded by the
crowd, was introduced to many and mani
-1 fested a lively pleasure in meeting Sacra
mentar.s. He conversed with the gentlemen
about him for half an hour, the crowd listening
attentively, and llr. Schurz expressing him
self on political matters in response to in
quiry much as above reported. 'He was
urged to came a ' day when he would speak
here, but declined to do so, and said that it
: was hardly probable he would stop over on
his return trip. As the bell rang, he bade all
about him, a hearty good-by, and entered the
car, while the crowd, including not a few
red-hot Democrats, who had listened on the
outer edges of the crowd to the conversation,
voted Carl Schurz "a companionable man
and well met, not a bit set up, and a t-hrewd
and wise observer." Many gave voice to this
expression.
■ Mr. Schurz very tall. * Hi* form is thin, up
right and sinewy. His hair a dark brown, clus
ters in short, thick curls about his head, and
teems to cause him little care. His whisk
ers are full and a deep red. ■ His face
though thin, appears tquare in shapf-, the
nose long, the ; eyes are deep set and
brown, the forehead broad « and bold ;
the head | large, expanding and broadening
between and above the ears, and setting upon
a thin neck that pitches just a little forward.
All in all, the personnel of the Secretary is
pleasing, his manners cordial and inviting,
and marked by the least possible formality ;
yet ha preserves a natural digrity which sits
upon him easily. He is one of those men,
evidently, who can mingle in a crowd in the
easiest manner, be one of it, lose none of the
respect he inspires by his bearing, and in no
wise lessen the personal dignity he possesses.
: The party will probably leave San Fran
cisco for Yosemite Sunday or Monday next,
and pa.-s Sacramento for the East about the
Sunday or Monday — August Ist or
3d, It is the intention of the Secretary to
make a stop or two between here and Salt
Lake, and from the last place,' about August
7th, take cars for Beaver | Canyon, and from
there proceed by wheeled conveyance to the
Yellowstone region.. He purposes reaching
Washington about September 6th.
The Cause Discovered.
Most of the reader? whose eyes scan these
pages have suffered from headache, lassitude,
nausea or pains in the back ; but we doubt
if they knew what the cause was. In nine
cases out of ten it was some trouble with the
kidneys or liver. This is a truth which has
iu«t become known, and the result which
Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure haa
accomplished. The above-named troubles are
caused by disordered kidneys and liver.and
the remedy which cures the cause banishes
the pains which arise from it. H. C. Kirk k

Secretary Thompson at Marc Island. |
Vallejo, July 27th. — Secretary Thompson
spent the forenoon at Commodore Calhf.un's
residence, receiving official visits. Admiral
Rodgers and staff, of the Pensacoia, paid the
first visit, and were followed by other officers
of lesser rank. This afternoon, in company
with Naval Constructor Easby and officers of
the yard, he will visit the construction de
partment, performing this duty first in
order to accommodate Easby. If the inspec
tion of the yard is completed in time, the
Secretary and party will board the launch
Nellie and pay a visit for official inspection
to the hulk in Rotten Row. On the up trip
yesterday afternoon the Secretary occupied
the pilot-house, and apparently was deeply
interested in the appearance of our harbor
and the approaches to it. After the steamer
had rounded the lower end of the island, and
while coming up abreast of the yard, he re
marked that it was a most magnificent site
for a navy yard, and that he had been greatly
misled in his idea of its general appearance.
The Secretary expresses the intention of mak
ing a thorough survey of the yard before
leaving.

O.M.Y Waitinc. — On one of the hottest
corners of Woodward avenue, Detroit, at
high noon, a small boy with a bootblack's
kit sat under the full blaze of a sun pour
ing down for all it was worth. The boy
perspired, roasted, blistered and almost
melted, but he had stuck there for half an
hour, when a lady passing by halted and
said : " Little boy, aren't you afraid of be
ing Eunstruck?" "Yes, ma'am," was the
prompt reply. "Then why don't you get
into the shade?" "I can't." "Did any
one tell you to wait here ';" " No, m.-mii ;
but I'm doiug it on my own hook. It's
awful hot, and I'm most dead ; but I've
got to stand it." She looked to see if he
was tied, and was about to go on and re
gard him as the son of a brutal father in a
saloon around the corner, when he ex
plained : ''There he is now! That boy
up there is the chap I was waiting for, and
I had to sit out here to see him when he
turned the corner, He's the feller that
