Tuo motion made ycsteiday by Senator Thur man to refer the remonstrance of Indian chiefs again6t the passage of the bill to establish a United States court iv the Indian Territory wa3 taken up, and Senator Vest opposed the motion, saying tbo committco on territories, who had reported tho bill, included several good lawyers, fully able to draw the bill, tvnd there was no reason to refer this any more than any other bill to the committee on judiciary. Senator Edmunds favored the mo: ion, and said it implied no discourtesy to the committee on territories. Senator Garland, chairman of the committee ou territories, thought tho motion discourteous to tint committee. Ttie committee might as well be abolished if the motion prevailed. MONITOnS. Mr. WhittUorn, chairman of the committee oa naval affairs, reported a joint resolution for the organization of a board of officers of the nivy to report upon the practicability of com pleting the double turreted monitors Puritan, Mjua'inock, Asnphitrite and Terror. Agree! to. m'donald continues. Pending discussion the morning hour ex pired and consideration was resumed of the bill for relief of Fitz John Purter, and Senator McDonald continued his remarks iv support of the bill. He 6aid the engagement in which tbe celebrated Irun Brigade played so conspicuous a part, as lately referred to by t c Senator from Wisconsin (Carpenter), did not occur on th'i 23th of August when these operations were going on, but in a fierce contest that took place oa the evening of tho JiSth between King's division of McDowell's corr>9 when it was finding its devious way from li.iinesville to Manassa* J unction under orders received by its commander at 9 o'clock on the 27th. Its com mander was tbe bravo and gallant John Gibbous, and its next chief oflieer was tbe brave and gallant and dar ing Bragg, now an honored member of the House from Wisconsin. Tbeso men have from t h it day to this been warm friends of Fitz John Porter. It was remarkable that the opponent* of tho bill omit to speak of Porter's conduct on tho oOth. But the board do not forget to speak of it. They say that the withdrawal of Porter's army in order to obey an imperative order of Pope to report to him ia person immediately with his army was the beginning of the unfor tunate operations of that day. This corps, which had been protecting the left flank of Pope's army, was withdrawn from its impor tant position, leaving the left wing and flank exposed to attack by a greatly superior force of the enemy. The board hold that Porter had no alternative but to obey the order literally. If he had auy alter native ho should have refused to obey it. Ah to Porter's subsequent conduct on the IJOth, it was ot the bravest kind. Jackson's report of the day's operations Bays: "The federal in fantry, about 4 o'clock in the morning, advanc ed in several lines. In a few moments our en tire Hue was engaged in a fierce and sanguina ry Btrugjle with the enemy. As one line was repulsed another took its place and pushed for ward as if determined by force of numbers and fury of the assault to drive us from our posi tions. So impetuous and well sustained were thi'-e onsets as to induce me to send to the ommanding general f., r reinforcements, but the timely and gallant advance of Gen. Long street on the right relieved my troops from the pressure of overwhelming numbers and gave to these brave men the chances of more equal conflict" This extract from Jackson's report had been printed and circulated by McDowell and Pope as referring to the 29th, and proving that there was a battle on the '2'.Uh. when in faot it re ferre 1 to the 30th, and McDowell, on examina tion before the boarA of review, was reluctantly brought to admit that Porter, himself, com manded the federal troops.wbose fierce assaults were spoken nf in Jackson's report. After that how could this man, McDowell, ever lift his head again. Senator Conkling — Do 1 understand the Sen ator to charge or impute to God. McDowell that he knowinzly circulated false reports, injuri ous to Porter, and then he reluctantly admitted, wlipu he was forced to admit, that he lvtd done so? Senator McDonald — I do not say he circulated it knowing it to be false, but I do nay that the means of making the correction were at any time at his command if be had done him injus tice by simply putting down the date disclos ing the fact that the extract referred to the 30tb. He did not know bat it is ignorance for which he is not excusable under the facts of the case, and as for bis reluctance to admit the fact reading his examination will support my assertion. Senator Logan— Does not the evidence clearly disclose that McDowell didn't know that fact till bis attention was called to it in the exami nation. Senator McDonald— He said he didn't know until fifteen minutes before the examination, but it required all the skill of one of the most skillful of examiners to get him to admit that there was any difference between the published statement and the facts. Senator Conkling— l listened in the opening •if this debate to a very severe and injurious insinuation cast upon Gen. McDowell, and equent like insinuations have led me to believe that this debate is largely directed against McDowell and the part he played in this affair. Now, I venture to Bay that, in re gard to this circulated statement being false, the Senator from Indiana is just as guilty a* Gen. McDowell, for it was as much his business to know it was false as it was McDowell's busi ness. As to reluctance to admit his mistake when he found it oat, Conkling read from Mc- Dowell's cross-examination before the board of review, and said he thought no man could make a more generous admission regarding Porter than did McDowell. Senator McDonald thought the admission was brought out with difficulty. lie went on to quote the reports of the board that the re ports of the twenty-ninth and thirtieth have been strangely confounded with each other. Gen. Porter was in, effect condemned for not having taken part iv his own battle. Such was the error on which Porter was pronounced guilty, etc. Senator Conkling said that as Jacks re port was not published until long after the court martial, it was impossible for it to have influenced the court martial, and further it was impossible for the board of review to know what passed in the minds of members of the court, and determined their own view of the case. In further remarks Senator Conkling said possibly in the end it will be seen that it is not only unjust and beside the purpose, but that it is not in the interest of Fitz John Portzr to seek for other and blameless men upon whom to cast imputation sideways or otherwise. If I were advocating the cause of Fitz John Porter I should at least doubt whetbor that was ni-inp or proper. Senator McDonald, in concluding his argu ment said that while Porter wasn't an admirer of Pope he was luyal and fought honestly un der him. He appealed to tho sense of justice of the Senate for the passage of the bill. At the conclusion of Senator McDonald's speech Senator Logan took the floor and re plied to what he thought misinterpretation of the evidence on the report of supporters of the hill. He said all the evidence showed that Longstreet was not in front of Porter on the 29th and iv other respects bore out his former arguments. He also said that Porter's friends virtually gave up his case when they were forced to make false charges against other men to support their views. Senator Randolph asked Logan if he would deny that Oens. Scofield, Terry and Getty were the equa's of any other three generals in the army, in honesty and competency, and whether they didn't declare that L ngstrect was in front of Porter. Senator Logan— They are honorable, learned and just men. I say may God give me power to understand thin case as they do. Mo honest man, unless ho is deceived, can report, as this board has reported, that 2-">,(Kui men were in front of Porter. They made a report not based on the testimony or the farts. But in accord ance with the argument of counsel, of course they are honorable men, but no more so than President Lincoln and the nine men who con victed Porter. Senator Jones, of Florida, obtained the floor to speak on the bill, but yielded to Senator Garland, who made a motion that: Whereas, The bill for the relief of Fitz John Porter involves many delicate questions as to tho jurisdiction and power of the courts under the constitution and laws of the United Slates which are purely judicial or legislative. Rfxolrcd, That tho bill with all accompany in •» papers be referred to the committee on judiciary for examination and report by bill or otherwise. Senator fUndolph— l do trust, now that ibis subject h.'.s proceeded thus far, and in now ho fully before the Senate, may n»t have » refer eDce to any committee whatever. After exec utive session, adjourned. The House. INTKK-OCEANIC CANAL. Washington, March 10. — Mr. Ucgan askrd and obtained leave to have printed the follow ing resolution, which he would offer as a sub stitute for the resolutions of the committee on inter-oceanic canal: ffmrfuif. That while we recognize the general interests of the whole commercial world in the nse of a ship canal or railroad across the isth mus connecting North and South America, and while we will respect that interest if such line of inter-oceanic communication shall be estab lished, we declaie that as the establishment of such a line of communication would practical ly connect the Atlantic and Mexican gulf and the Pacific coast linen of the United Staten, and as the United States would have a great local as well sh a general in terest in common with other commercial row ers, and sh the political control of such line of communication would be vitally necessary to her commercial interest!) and to the preserva tion of her territorial integrity and political independance, she will insist whenever and by whomsoever such progress shall be commenced, on such political control of it as will give se curity to our commercial and political inter ests. THE CALENDAR. Bills were placed on the calendar, appropri stiog $300,000 for the relief of the poor of Ire land; to restrict Chinese emigration; to pre vent removal of Indians from States into the Indian Territory. A LIVELY SPAT. Mr. Dibrell, from the committee on invalid pensions, reported back the bill to prevent the withholding of pensions from pensioners under the act of ISIS. He asked to have the bill put upon its passage. Mr. Conger — is it to restore Jeff Davin to the roll? Mr. Dibrell — Jeff Davis is not a pensioner. Mr. Concer — I object. Mr. Dibrell— lf the gentleman wants to show his nature to the Southern people so bad ly, he can object. Mr. Conger — That remark is unworthy of the gentleman and the occasion. Mr. Dibrell — I am responsible for all I say here and elsewhere. Mr. Conger — Elsewhere is good. rOLII ICAL ASSESSMENTS. Consideration was resumed of tho political assessment bill and the House was addrcsred by Mr. Young, of Ohio. He said that the gen tleman from Tennessee (House) had yesterday taken occasion to insinuate a charge of col lusion and fraud against Gen. E. V. Noycß, present member to France. This he had done by quoting from the testimony of McLinn be fore the Potter committee, a committee organ ized to undertake the stupendous task of cov ering tip the frauds of the Democratic leaden in their attempts to Rteal or purchase the elec toral votes of several States. He defended and eulogized the character of Gen. Noyea, who had been in front of the battle fighting for his coun try while the man who attacked lrm bad hem in the legislative councils of the rebel confeder acy or leading a rebel battalion doing their best to overthrow the government. He opposed the bill. He didn't doubt the earnestness of tbo President in his professions of civil service re form. H« disagreed with the President as to hi< civil service reform policy. He believed in the old Jacksonian doctrine that to the victors belonged the spoils. The gentleman from Tennessee had also at tacked Secretary Sherman. The Democracy had reason to be afraid of that gentleman, be cause he could not be intimidated by Demo cratic bombast or rebel yells. Mr. Richardson, N. V., opposed the bill. Congress might enact this law, but public opinion would condemn it for the intolerance which robbed a citizen for holding a political faith not in harmony with the majority of the Howe. Mr. Crowley argued against the bill. Mr. Rice offered an amendment including members of Congress within the provisions of the bill and providing that any person violating this law shall be ineligible to hold any office of honor or emolument for two years thereafter under the United States government. Mr. Hayes opposed the bill, characterizing it as a high-handed outrage and gross infringe ment upon the rights of citizenship. Mr. Bnttcrworth thought that the bill should be entitled "a bill to create political disability." He offered a substitute making it unlawful for my person in the service of the United States having clerks or other employes under bis control to levy, or permit to be levied, any assessment for political purposes, provid ing that nothing herein contained shall prevent any and all officers of the United States from making voluutary contributions for political purposes. Section two prohibits members of Col'gress and other persons from paying any money to any person with intent to corrupt or influence tho vote or political action of such person at any election at which representatives to Con gress or Presidential electors are to be voted for. Section three makes it a misdemeanor for any 1 ;cr.-on to offer threats or menace on election day, or thirty days prior thereto, for the pur pose of preventing any other person from voting. He thought Congress, instead of addressing itself to depriving a citizen of the right which he held nnder the constitution, had better ad dress itself to preventing the evil, not of con tributions for legitimate purpose*, bat the corrupt use of money and the corrupt use of bowie knives and shot gun*. The propositions presented by ihe present bill were not needed. Congress hsd often considered them, and be found that the Democrats h »it been on both sides of the nuestion. This substitute would pat an end to the policy which bad wiped ■ out Bairn ST. PAUL, THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 11, 1880. the Republican party in blood from half of this Republic. Mr. Hostetter demanded tbe previous ques tion, pending which the House took a recess until 7:30, the evening session to be for con sideration of pension bills exclusively. EVENING BEHSION. The House passed fifteen or twenty pension bills and adjourned. LOI ISIANA BXODVB. A COLORED EDITOR OIVES HIS VIEWS. Washington, Maroh 10.— The Senate exodus committee to-day examiued George T. Buby, colored, editor of the New Orleans Observer. He testified the Louisiana exodus movement originated among the plantation laborers and was the result of persecutiors of political mobs of 1574-T5. Organizing as a colonization council in August, 1875, it spread rapidly from parish to parish and permeated tbe State, par ticularly the Mvtions known cs the cotton belt, where outrages had been most frequent. Political leaders had nothing to do with it. The immediate inducing cause of the New Orleans convention, he said, was tho outrages com mitted in Louisiana during the summer and autumn of IS7B. The effect on colored people of the lawlessneßS, which he said had prevailed throughout tbe State, was to invite them to go anywhere out of the hell in which they lived. It is, ho Baid, the dread of his political rights rather than his physical condition, la mentable as it is, that causes this discontent among the negroes. He ad mitted that there was in New Orleans a large and increasing class among the white Demo crats, perhaps a majority, who deplore the present condition of affairs, but those who en tertain this feeling are merchants and capital ists, naturally timid, and exert no influence over political leaders. Tbe rabid men control the party and they are in the minority, but so long as the majority are quiescent and merely deprecate lawlessness, they can't preveut it. Uuby stated he thought nearly 3 000 negroes bad emigrated from the State, most of whom had gone to Kansas. In the sugar growing sec tions of tbe State a better feeling prevailed, but ia other parts tho feeling of discontent is on the increase, and indications tiro that many nose will leave thin spring. THE STAB &EUVICI-:. A CONTRACTOR TELLS 110 W IT I'AYH. Wa-hjngion, March 10. —The special com mittee of the House appropriation committee, of which Blackburn is chairman, rcsnmed ex amination of Monroe Sulesbury relative to the star route service. He furnishes the com mittee, at their request, tabulated statements of seventeen routes in which he is interested, in each of which the cost for expedition has ex ceeded $5,000 per annum. Tne table shows that the aggregate of original contracts npon these routes was $147,700, that this hhd been in creased for additional trips $159,275, and for expedited schedules $217,005, mak ing the aggregate compensation now paid by the department $553,!>53. Salisbury was questioned at length in regard to different routes, and admitted that on several of them the passe nger and express package business was more proti table than carrying the mails, and that if the department should withdraw the extra compensation for increased trips and ex pedition, he would continue tbe fast service for tbe sake of the passenger and express traf iic. That on some routes he had expedited the schedule beyond that required by his contract with the p'lstnllice department in order to se cure this business, and that it paid him to dv so.

Chairman Scales called the attention of the committee to the reported starving condition of certain Utes in New Mexico and was instructed to prepare a bill authorizing the secretary of the interior to issuo rations to them. DETROIT niVEB BRIDOE. Two delegations appeared before the Senate committee on commerce to-day and presented arguments for and against the enactment of legislation to authorize the construction of a railroad bridge across tho Detroit river at De troit. James F. Joy presented an argument in favor of such legislation and G. H. Ely, presi dent of the Cleveland board of trade and rep rcfienting the vessel interests of the lakes, be gan an argument in opposition to it but hadn't coucluded when the committee adjonrned. A further bearing will be had Saturday. REJECTED. The Senate rejected the nomination of Win. IX. Brown as census supervisor, eighth district of Illinois This nomination was rejected by a party vote upon the ground that at least one of the eight Illinois supervisors should have been selected from the Democracy.

ENGLAND. ' LIBERAL ADDBBBBKB. London, March 10.— E. Forster, liberal leader, has issued an address to the electors of Bradford. He denied that the political oppo nents of Beaconsfiold seek to desintegrato the United Kingdom and intimates that the charge is made in the hope of diverting attention from the mischevious foreign and Indian policy of the government. Shaw, home rnler, in an ad dress to bis Cork constituency characterizes the letter of ' Beaoonsficld as an electioneering manifesto," 1 placing false issues before the peo ple and tending to excite the worst passions of the ignorant. He attributes the famine to the government's culpablo ignorance and neglect. He calls on the Irish people north and south to answer the insulting mission of the prime minister by returning an overwhelming major ity pledged to the settlement of the great vital national land question, pledged to give ampler facilities for the creation of peasant proprie tary, and wherever possible to restore, define and legalize tenant right in Ulster, and extend it to the whole of Ireland. STOCKS PANICKY. London, March 10. — Tbe stock exchange showed the effect of the approaching dissolu tion of parliament yesterday in a sharp decline in consols and most home seoarities on the the ory that a general election means an increased demand for money. It is calculated that the expenditures of candidates will aggregate over 2,000,000 pounds, which amount must be with drawn from London and sent to the provinces. There waa a severe panic in water stocks as the dissolution of parliament is a practical aban donment of the bill introduced in the house of commons by Gross, home secretary, and tbe impression prevails that tho announcement of the Times for purchase of the water works in that bill has damaged almost beyond recov ery, any chance of making a good bargain for tbe companies in the future Somo shares fell 50 pounds from Monday's closing prices, and all left off yesterday at rates varying from 10 to 10 pounds. HOME BULK PBOSWCCTS. It ir. said, Shaw's address, in reply to the prime minister's manifesto, represents the tone to be adopted by the home rule followers. It h calculated that in Ireland seven conserva tives will lose their seais, and be replaced by home rulers; that eight conservatives will be replaced by liberals, and that two liberals will be replaced by home rulers. On the other hand, the several home rule contests will be watched narrowly, and, where opportunity offers, a conservative will be brought forward. The home rulers count on returning with seven ty votes, and the active section claims thirty of these will support Parnell. Bight Hon. E. Dwyer Gray announces he will not again offer himself to the electors of the connty of Tippe rary. Ho is spoken of as a possible candidate for the city of Dublin, bnt his friends declare he intends to retire from parliament altogether. THE LIBER AT, MANIFESTO. London, March 10.— The Marquis of Har tington has issued the following address to the electors of Northeast Lancashire, which con stitutes the manifesto of the liberal party : I seek to evade no issues which the government ■nix raise, bat it is necessary that they should be plainly stated, and others, which Lord Be&consfield evades, be brought before yon. I know of no party which challenges the expedi ency of the imperial character of the realm, or which has attempted to enfeeble the colc nies by a policy of decomposition. The colonies are now more loyal and willing to undertake common responsibility of the blunders, which must be borne by all members of a great em pire. The home rule agitation has existed during the whole of this parliament. The govern ment has hitherto treated it with indifference, if not indulgence. The attempt to reawaken national animosities by a description of dan gers worse than pestilence or famine, appears unnecessary and nnwise. The agitation mnst be met, not by passionate exaggeration, bnt by firm, consistent resistance, combined with proof that the imperial parliament is willing to grant every reasonable and just demand of the Irish for equal land and institutions. Wo, regardless of party considerations, ce-operated with the government in Irish educational measures, although we thought they were in some respects inadequate and not calculated to effect final settlement, because we thought they gave proof to the Irish people of the desire of all parties in parliament to meet reasonable demands. As for Lord Becconsfield's claim to have maintained the peace of Europe, the govern ment didn't prevent, even if they didn't cause war in the East. The ascendancy of England has been claimed in circulars and surrendered in secret conventions. The influence of Eng land is not based on boasts of ascendency over Europe, but rests on the firmness and modera tion of conduct, based in the material and mural strength ot our position and exercised in concert with other natiocs iv behalf of peace, justice and freedom. FK.VNCK. THE EDUCATIONAL BILL. Pabis, March 10. — The republican deputies to day discussed the expediency of interpellat ing the government touching the rejection by the senate of clause 7 of the educational bill. The BefmbVqHe I'raneais declares that antagon ism between the senate and chamber of depu ties has recommenced, and that the senate must be saved in spite of itself from the con sequences of its action. The Journal Dcx J)c Bats recommends the cabinet to seek some means of compromising the difficulty. Radical papers demand the application of existing laws to religious orders. Journals of the right regard the vote as a victory of tho liberal over the Jacobin policy. ACTION OF THE LEFT. Paris, March 10. — At a meeting of the bureaux of various groups of the left in tho chamber of deputies to-day it was resolved that nothing less than passing of tho article in its intirety could be accepted by the left, and that an interpellate be addressed to the gov ernment in chambers.

A GOLD GRAB. BOLD ASU SUCCESSFUL ROBBERY AT SIDNEY. NEB. Nearly Two Hundred Thousand Dollars of Bullion Abstracted From the Express Office- All Bat $13,000 Recovered From the Bobbers' Hiding Place— Miscellaneous Crime and Casualty Becord. BOLD UULLIIfN BOBBKBV. Cueyesne, March 10.— A bold and sneceasf ul robbery of gold bullion occurred at Sidney, Neb., to-day, while the Union Pacific express agent, Snyder, was at Denver. The amount taken is variously estimated at f 120,000 to f 300,000. Entrance was effooted through the floor of the express, office. The robbery was .evidently planned in advance of the arrival of the treasnre coach from the Black Hills. The bullion had just been transferred by Lnke Voorhees, superintendent of tho stage line, to the express agent, and consisted of bricks and bars from different mills in Lead City and Deadwood gulch. Robert Low, superintendent of the mountain division of the Union Pacific,, accompanied by Jeff Carrow, of the * Rocky Mountain Detective association, started from here on the engine at 3:30 p. m. to direct the pursuit of the robbers, who are reported to have gone in a northerly direction well mounted. A telegram from Sidney just received states that the treas ure has been recovered except $13,000. It wan f«und under a pile of coal pear the Union Pa cific track. One of the missing bricks, valued at $8,000, is from Esmeralda mine, Black Tail gulch, near Deadwood, partly owned by Hib bard, of Cheyenne, and the Black Hills Tele graph company. Of the balance 92,000 is In an express package, rest bullion. The special train with Superintendent Low and detectives made the ran to Sidney; a hun dred and two miles, in two honn. The detec tives were soon at work seeking a cine. It was ascertained that a mounted party going north were stockmen, well known and above sus picion. Supt. Low haa now in active search for the robbers every available man at that end of the division, and hopes to bring the guilty parties to speedy justice. The bullion was taken from a track in the express office which adjoins the telegraph office. The hole made in the floor of the office moat have been made by experts, as no unusual noise was heardiby the operator who was in an adjoining room daring the absence of the ex press agent. The imnrense weight of the treasure, four hundred and eighty pounds avoirdupois, prevented the robbers from carry ing it off, and they were compelled to conceal it at the first available spot, the coal pile. The excitement in Sidney is at fever heat, many being suspected of complicity in the daring deed. If evidence should prove strong against some of the suspected, it ia thought that Ne braska will be saved the expense of a trial. HOTEL FIBS. Montreal, March 10.— The Express hotel burned this morning. Loss $35,000; insurance 93,300. The guests had a narrow escape, many being obliged to jump from the windows. PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATIVE BRIBERY. Haebisbubo, Pa. , March 10. — On account of sickness, the case of Charles Long has been continued. The prosecution closed in the case of Emit J. Petroff, who, it was testified, prom ised to make it interesting for members of the legislature to support the riot bill. Petroff tes tified in hi* own behalf and the court took a recess. Upon the reassembling of court arguments were heard and adjourned till Monday. The rest of the bribery oases have been continued until the April term by agreement of counsel. This is construed as a virtual abandonment. It is also thought the charges of perjury in the cases already tried will be dropped. rOSTMASTEB ARRESTED. Annapolis, March 10.— Postmaster W. O.

Democratic Unity in New fork. [New York Herald, 7th. | From several senators and assemblymen who were in town yesterday it was learned that the proposed plan of issuing an invita tion in the name of the Democratic mem bers of the legislature for a consultation to be held at Albany for the purpose of adjust ing the differences which now disrupt the party throughout the State haa not by any means been abandoned, bat only holds lire. The Kings county delegation are still non-committal m to the course they intend to pursue, but as soon as they arrive at any definite conclusion active steps will be taken to pat the plan in operation. The Tammany members say that the recent demonstration by the Democratic union of this city is calling general attention to the necessity for the adoption of some measure which will bring about the desired result, and from the conciliatory temper shown in certain quarters there is every reason to hope that before the legislature adjourns and the political campaign of 1880 begins the oppos ing elements will meet on common ground. NO. 71 FRISCO'S FBICTION. MAYOR KALLOCK IX DEFENSE Of THE LABOR CLASSES. Proclamation Denunciatory of the Citizens' Committee — The Pretended Dancer of Outbreak the Creation of Designing Men -Commend of the Pres4 Generally En dorsing the Citizens' -Movement— What a Leading Spirit Says of the Situation . PBOCLA&IATION OF MAVOB KALLOCH. San Fbancisco, March 10.— Mayor Kallooh has issued a proclamation as follows: I deem it my duty to the city over whose of the Citizens' welfare I have been called to preside and to the public at large, which is being infamously deceived by incendiary misrepresentations as to the situation, to declare in the most emphat ic ami public manner that there is not and never has been the slightest ieason to appre hend any disturbance, riot or lawlessness what ever from the working cloven of San Francis co. If trouble comes to us it will not come from them. Most inexcusable and outrageous means are being used Dy designing men to goad them into riotous demonstrations, but they will fail. They arc, as they have proved themselves to be nnder most trying provoca tion, the law abiding and peace preserving por tion of our population . I vouch to tbe world for them that they will ho continue, and I far ther declare, however people abroad may be imposed on, that tho people of this city see through all the transparent hnmbuggery of military interference, police increase and in flammatory circulars, and will wait their con stitutional day of judgment to peaceably bat effectively consign their authors to the politi cal infamy of oblivion which they most richly deserve. VO.KH3 COMMENTS. The Call this morning, without any direct reference to tho proclamation of the vigilance committee, dissuades the community from any violent measures, as unnecessary to either party. The Chronicle strongly commends the vigi lant oiganization, and intimates that the first blow should be struck at the leaders of the agi tators. The Ati si outs at the necessity for concen tration of troops here, holding the vigilantn amply able to cope with the sand lot, and con cludes: "Let us have peace, and we mean to have it inside the law if we can, outside if we must." It also denounces the mayor's proola mation as an insult to the people. SACRAMENTO CHASTER ELECTION. San Francisco, March 10.— At the Sacramento city election yesterday, the Republican candi dates were elected by majorities of 300 to 500, except the chief of police, elected by the Demo crats and Workicgmen. VEBY QUIET. Sax Fjuncisco, March 10. — Everything has has been very qniet to-day and nothing new to report regarding the agitation. The commu nity is evidently waiting, expecting something decided. It is understood the executive com mittee of the council held a meeting this after noon, but nothing has yet transpired regarding the proceedings. In conversation Kearney emphatically reiterated his statement, previously telegraphed, that neither be or the workingmen's party desired any conflict, and the first step mnst come from the other eide. He further expressed confidence that none would occur. There is a rumor that Kearney is to be arrested to-night for his remarks at the meeting last evening. I Talk with An Editor. [Chicago News.J Mr. Charles De Young, proprietor of the|oan Francisco Chronicle, who was brought into pub lio notice some time ago through an unpleas antness with the mayor-elect of San Francisco, in which little difficulty shooting-irons played a prominent part, was subjected to the inter viewing process, at the Palmer house, by a Daily News reporter this morning. Mr. De Young at first disclaimed a knowledge of anything not already familiar, in genorali ties, at least, to the newspaper- reading public. The conversation drifted natural.}- into the Chinese question. Mr. De Young remarked that it was a matter that seemed to be imperfectly understood by the people east of the Pacific coast. Kearney and his mob had harped < ■ this question so long that people here enter tained the idea that the solution of the Chinese question would be the natural result of per sonal violence exercised upon the unfortunate Celestial and the wanton destruction of his property. This was the course urged by Kear ney, and advocated repeatedly at his sand-lot gatherings, but it was not the proper thing to do, and the taking of the initiatory steps in that direction required far more nerve than Kearney or any of his mob could muster. The one unfortunate thing in the entire agi tation was that Kearney confined himself to empty but blatant words. He loudly advocat ed the creation of a scaffold upon which to hang the Chinese, but he very carefully took no active step or greater part in iv building. In short, while he was the loudest-mouthed advocate of mob violence, he was among the best keepers of the letter of the laws laid down for the protectiom of life and property. Until he so far forgot himself an to violate some of these laws, the better class of residents would have no hold on him. Ho had thrice been on trial for incendiary utterances, and as many times vindicated and triumphantly carried to his sand lots on the shoulders of his admirers. While Mr. De Young admitted that the Chi nese quarter of San Francisco was so closely packed, and the mode of life therein such as to render it a public nuisance, he claimed tho Chinese were a thrifty, money-making and economical class of people, whose pursuits, ex cept in the cigar and shoemaking interests, did not in any manner conflict with the work of those who wore loudest in the cry of "the Chi nese must go," The Chinaman performed skilled labor — bis antagonists were principally hod-carriers. With thousands of others, Mr. De Young awaits with the greatest anxiety the course of events which mart necessarily follow in case the health department order the Chinese quar ter demolished, it having already been voted a public nuisance. li'lnit Manager Jlughitt Says. (Chicago Times.] Mr. Marvin Hughitt, general manager of the Chicago & Northwestern, whose recent visit to St. Paul was the occasion for a con jectural report that he was to be president of the new company which will control the three Minnesota lines that are to bo consoli dated, has returned to the city. Mr. Hughitt informed a representative of the 'J' tines that the lines in ques tion — which are known as the Chicago, St. Paul & Minneapolis, St. Paul & Sioux City, and North Wisconsin railways — will severally ba operated by separate organ izations until the consolidation of the pro perties under one organization can be per fected. The Chicago & Northwestern is not a party to the proposed consolidation. . The lines named above are friendly to the com pany, and are parties to a long term traffic arrangement with the Northwestern." Se.nl* All the Modern Conveniences. | Fargo Argns.J It is now proposed to resuscitate the old St. Paul board of trade. At present there is not any active organization^by which quo tations can bo officially promulgated, and the great city of the Northwest feels as if she ought to have balls and bears, and other "modern conveniences," as well as her big sister Chicago.
