Anaheim Gazette SATURDAY...APRIL 29, 1876. The Busy Bee. DEAR GAZETTE.—The bee season is opening very favorably indeed, and we bees are anticipating a rich harvest of "sweet things." Although we are not properly fixed up yet, may be you would like to look at the way we do business. So I will take you around and show you things as we will have them soon. First, you see 200 hives arranged in straight lines six feet one way and eight feet the other, each hive setting just on the north side of a small grape vine—small, because it has been transplanted only 4 months. The bee house is situated on the west side of the apiary and just over the brow of a bank, so that we go into the upper story of the bee house from the level of the apiary. Here we have our extractor, small tank, stove, etc.; in the room below is the large tank, which holds over six hundred gallons, the cans for shipping honey, tools, etc. As it is now the reason for increasing and comb-building, we will show you how we secure a hive full of straight combs for a surplus honey receptacle. Our hives are 18 inches long, by 12 wide and ten deep, and contain 12 frames, placed crosswise in the hive. Hive No. 1 is quite strong—full of bees and comb. We remove four or five combs, drone comb if any, and all combs not filled with brood and bee-bread, and fill up with empty frames, always putting an empty frame between two full ones so that the bees are compelled to build the comb straight in the empty frame. Frames should be one-eighth of an inch less than 1 inch apart, from centre to centre. Temperance Once More. ORANGE, April 16, 1876. EDITORS GAZETTE.—In justice to this community allow correction of some mis-statements lately made by correspondents of the GAZETTE. First, in reference to the committee who waited upon Schaffer. Of course he (Mr. S.) will admit that all his statements as to the committee's agreeing with him that Orange had better have a saloon in order to keep its money at home, and as to their allowing that if he kept closed on Sunday that he would do no great harm after all, etc., etc.—of course he will admit that those statements of his, made in your paper, are mere bosh—made, I suppose he would say, in jest. Of course the gentleman would not intentionally misrepresent. Some palms have been taken to make the committee's acceptance of soda-water appear ludicrous. Their motive in so doing must be plain to those who will give the matter a moments thought. "Twas to avoid appearing prejudiced or Pharisaical that the committee accepted the harmless hospitality of Mr. Schaffer. Neither they nor the people they represented make war against the sale or use of soda water. About the signing of pledge resolutions published in your issue of the 15th inst.), the pledge taken by members of the public school, etc., your correspondent (X Y Z), has somehow fallen into error. The one hundred or more (not 200, as some one stated by mistake) who signed the circulated paper, are chiefly adults, I believe; certainly very few, if any, are below a proper age to take part in such a movement. I regret that I have not at hand an accurate statement from the Secretary of our public meeting on this point. If anyone imagines that "two-thirds" of the number are children, they can be satisfied by calling on Mr. Mosbaugh, who has the names I think. The Saloon EDS. GAZETTE: munication, like people toward the tardy. I presume same in both time to be looking terests. Be that as it is different to the munications in 15th inst., must left without further representations lieve, would make out the county ple of Orange ha enemy, heart and of temperance—we were wrong ourselves prefer for a season to pleness of a tem man would send that improne one of our own himself in be against the saloon It is certainly n'tic to do so. The saloon knew saw fit to treat and they endure kindness by considered hard some city drug is tolerated. It it to be a bait, statement that world are in than the child under the same have been equifl nothing had of the tongue have been rem out becoming According to cle, he argued committee. Lc statements. aware, by any Orange, that anything of t he when the p a hive full of straight combs for a surplus honey receptacle. Our hives are 18 inches long, by 12 wide and ten deep, and contain 12 frames, placed crosswise in the hive. Hive No. 1 is quite strong—full of bees and comb. We remove four or five combs, drone comb if any, and all combs not filled with brood and bee-bread, and fill up with empty frames, always putting an empty frame between two full ones so that the bees are compelled to build the comb straight in the empty frame. Frames should be one-eighth of an inch less than 1 inches apart, from centre to centre, but as our hive is 18 inches long, we place them just 1 inches apart. I prefer having the empty frames near the entrance, and between worker combs, as then we are more apt to secure worker combs built in our empty frames. I now go to hive No. 2, and treat it like No. 1, and likewise No. 3. I now have probably 12 extra combs, without brood, or if they contain brood just hatching out, I care little, as the comb will soon be empty. We place these 12 combs in an empty hive—without bottom board—and place the hive thus filled on top of hive No. 4, so that the bees can pass easily up from below and deposit their surplus honey in the empty combs above. Hive No. 4 has not been disturbed, and is therefore in a splendid condition for storing surplus, and in five days you may come around again and we will show you this top box well filled with the delicious nectar, and ready for the extractor. In like manner we go to hive No. 5, 6 and 7, and secure surplus comb to fill a surplus box for hive No. 8, and so on through the whole apiary. In about four days we again visit these hives, and find all these empty frames full of comb and brood, and we again take from them surplus combs to fill other boxes for other hives. In this way we go on until we have secured surplus combs enough for boxes to go on top of all our hives, and then the season is fairly commenced, and in our next we will show you how we conduct the business of extracting the honey at the rate of 1,000 pounds per day. But if we want an increase of stock before beginning to secure surplus, we proceed in the same way, except we take from hives 1, 2 and 3 frames containing brood just ready to hatch, with but few bees sticking to the combs, being careful not to remove the queen, and place the hive thus filled on a new stand, and supply them with a queen cell just ready to hatch. But you would probably like to know how we secure these cells. Well, we have gone just eleven days ago and removed the Italian queen from her native home, and introduced her into a hive formed just as we have formed this. The bees left without a queen proceed at once to construct cells to supply the loss of the queen just removed, and we find on examination that they have 18 cells just ready to hatch, as it has been 11 days. We therefore have twelve surplus cells, leaving one for themselves, with which we propose to supply as many new lives with pure Italian queens. But we have been out long enough bers of the public school, etc., your correspondent (X Y Z), has somehow fallen into error. The one hundred or more (not 200, as some one stated by mistake) who signed the circulated paper, are chiefly adults, I believe; certainly very few, if any, are below a proper age to take part in such a movement. I regret that I have not at hand an accurate statement from the Secretary of our public meeting on this point. If anyone imagines that "two-thirds" of the number are children, they can be satisfied by calling on Mr. Mosbaugh, who has the names, I think. In reference to the lecture before the school: The person who, by permission of the trustees and principal, spoke to the upper department of the public school, occupied about five minutes of time, and all but two or three (instead of two) of the fifty young ladies and gentlemen promptly pledged themselves to work against the saloon. [Refer to Mr. Bell, principal of Orange public schools.] Some one signing himself "Bion" accuses the writer of the late resolutions—the censure of one of them he accepts as applying to himself—of being an "ex-Heverend"—a frightful accusation! I was not before aware that the gentleman who, by virtue of appointment from the temperance committee in the S. S., drafted those resolutions, had ever been a minister of the gospel. Considering that Bion gets his information—like his physic—from an apothecary and at wholesale, he brings to light some strange facts! I think Bion, when he is better informed, will regret his ill-considered words about forgery, and as a gentleman, retract them. So much for personalities which have been indulged in. I do not care for the flings which have been aimed at me in connection with this temperance work, except so far as they might, with the uninformed, affect the work itself. To be sure, in a new community like ours, we are all measurably strangers to each other, and the name and influence of any one of us might be injured for the nonce by insinuations most groundless. Hence it may be proper that I invite those who seem to feel unkindly toward me to state plainly, if they can, wherein I have acted unfairly or dishonorably at any point in this whole affair, from the beginning a year ago. I am a temperament man. I have a right to be. Without a shadow of unkind feeling toward any, I have tried to do what plainly appeared to me as duty. And this I shall continue to do without fear or favor. After all that has been said in ridicule of the people's "movement" here, this fact remains: From the Sunday School children up to the gray-haired among us, a large majority of the people have heartily pledged themselves, not only not to patronize or in any way encourage the present nor any saloon, but also to oppose the traffic by all lawful means—by religious, social and business influence. Respectfully yours, W. L. OGE. There is a young woman in the upper part of the county who can be seen in the region of Pleasant Valley, fly- A Gentle Zephyr at Virginia City. — The Virginia Chronicle of April 18th, says: The soft south wind humped itself last night. Toward sunset a gentle breeze sprung up which made the doctors rejoice, for not an eye in town remained dry. The dust flow and whirled about in incessant and blinding clouds. After dark things began to howl. A real old fashioned Washoe zephyr was evidently on the cards, and wise Virginians cut for home. Aside from the wreck of chimneys, the destruction of fences and signs, considerable damage was done. A new house, 26x30 feet, in course of erection, at the corner of Carson and Summit streets, belonging to Constable J. C. Smith, suffered badly. The building had been roofed, studded and boarded with rustle. About 3 o'clock it was lifted up bodily and landed in the middle of the street. The roof remained intact, but the sides were badly crushed in. The damage to the structure is about $500. It was very fortunate that the house was unoccupied, otherwise Smith and his family would probably have been crushed to death. The dwelling of Thomas Jose, the Virginia agent of the San Francisco Chronicle, at the corner of A and Mill streets, was whirled in the air and deposited on the roof of an adjoining house, where it now stands, a monument to the strength of a Washoe zephyr. The building to which Jose has so unwillingly contributed another story, is damaged more than the one which now surmounts it. In the case of McKee, of St. Louis whisky fraud fame, Judge Dillon, of the U.S. Circuit Court, overruled the motion in arrest of judgment, and sentenced McKee to imprisonment for two years, and imposed a $10,000 fine. Stay of proceedings granted for two weeks. After all that has been said in ridicule of the people's "movement" here, this fact remains: From the Sunday School children up to the gray-haired among us, a large majority of the people have heartily pledged themselves, not only to patronize or in any way encourage the present nor any saloon, but also to oppose the traffic by all lawful means—by religious, social and business influence. Respectfully yours, W. L. OGE. There is a young woman in the upper part of the county who can be seen in the region of Pleasant Valley, flying about the hills on horseback, leaping yawning chasms and ravines, and riding on precipitous hill sides where an ordinary equestrian would think it impossible to get a foothold. She throws the lasso with precision, and can turn the stoutest bull over on his back with as much ease as a cook would flop a pancake. Contrary to what might be supposed, she does not ride a la clothes-pin, but in the insecure side-saddle fashion This woman, whose performances create deserved enthusiasm in her region, is apparently not over twenty-three years of age. — Vallejo Chronicle. D. O'Leary has been challenged to a trial of power of endurance by a Chicago pedestrian, a German named Schnehl. Last month in Chicago he accomplished the feat of walking 500 miles in 142 hours and some minutes. O'Leary's time in San Francisco was 139 hours and 32 minutes. Schnehl is said to be possessed of wonderful power of endurance. The terms are 500 miles, $2,000 a side; the match to take place in San Francisco next month. O'Leary goes into training at once and will exercise on the ocean beach near the Cliff House. A World's Buffalo special says the people of the State are overwhelmingly for Tilden, and that nine-tenths of the Democrats are pledged to the Governor. Harrison, ex-State Senator, accidentally killed himself with a pistol yesterday at Richmond, Ky. Any man who wants to buy a Mower, Header, Engine or Thresher, will do well to send to Berry & Place, San Francisco, for their prices. They are successors to Treadwell & Co., and agents for J. J. Case & Co., and have announced a general reduction on all their machines. The Saloon Controversy. ORANGE, Cal., April 24. EDS. GAZETTE:—Perhaps my communication, like the action of our people toward the saloon, is a little tardy. I presume the excuse is the same in both cases, viz: too busy a time to be looking after the public interests. Be that as it may, I cannot be indifferent to the impression the communications in the GAZETTE of the 15th inst. must have on the public, if left without further comment. These representations would make you believe, would make our friends throughout the county believe, that the people of Orange have gone over to the enemy, heart and hand, in the matter of temperance—that we have admitted we were wrong—nay, more, that we ourselves prefer the pleasures of sin for a season to the comforts and happiness of a temperate life. The saloon man would naturally endeavor to send that impression abroad; but how one of our own people can justify himself in belittling the movement against the saloon, is a mystery to me. It is certainly neither manly nor politic to do so. The saloon keeper in his craftiness saw fit to treat the committee kindly, and they endeavored to reciprocate the kindness by accepting a beverage considered harmless, and allowed in some city drug stores where no saloon is tolerated. They did not understand it to be a bait, thereby illustrating the statement that "the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light." Water, under the same circumstances, would have been equally objectionable, and if nothing had been drunk, some slip of the tongue or other defect would have been remembered against them, as it is impossible to handle coals without becoming smirched. According to the saloon man's article, he argued the matter with the committee. Let us examine some of his statements. He says: "I was not aware, by any act of the people of Orange, that they were opposed to anything of the kind." Where was he when the people of Orange prevented a saloon being established in P. BY TELEGRAPH. LONDON, April 24. A dispatch from Rome reports that the Observatore Romano newspaper was sequestrated yesterday for publishing the Pope's pastoral thanksgiving the Bishop of Orleans for his letter to Signor Minghetti, in which a violent attack was made on the Italian law rendering priests liable to military conscription. The despatch says that the trial of Herr Strousbergh, the railway king, will begin on May 20, at Moscow. The ill health of Antonelli again excites serious apprehensions. The Pope was closed a long time with him Friday. LONDON, April 24. The Somerville paper mills, near Bristol, was burned. The loss is estimated at 70,000 pounds. Five hundred workmen were employed. SAN FRANCISCO, April 25. FLOUR—The city millers quote the jobbing rate at 6 62½ silver; very fair extras, however, are jobbing at $5 50@5 25.

IOWA CITY, Iowa, April 25. At three o'clock this afternoon Lennie, aged 15, and Corn, aged 13 the son and daughter of Rev. L. F. Parker, Greek Professor in the Iowa State University were drowned in the Iowa river at this place. They were in a boat with their father and niece, and were carried over Deitz & Hemmer's mill dam. The Professor and his niece were rescued, but the children were lost by the under-tow. The Professor is crazed by the event. He sought to jump back into the stream after he was taken out. The bodies have not yet been found. SAN FRANCISCO, April 26. FLOUR—The city millers have reduced jobbing rates for extras 12¹²c., the gold rates now being $5 50@6 per barrel for various brands. WHEAT—The Liverpool market is again lower. This market is dull and weak, shipping, $1 75@1 90; choice Australia for milling,$1 90. BARLEY—Feed,$1 15¹¼; brewing,$1 22¹¼@1 30. CORN—Weak; good yellow,$1 15¹⁴. SAN FRANCISCO, April 26. The attachment on the coal and stores of the Pacific Mail Steamer City of New York, was released yesterday. The steamer will sail to-day. The attachment will not be granted to the Panama Company, unless they first file a bond of indemnity. SAN FRANCISCO, April 26. It is now ascertained that, before Pinney, the naval defaulter, left here he placed a large sum of money in charge of a friend who was to forward it to him when he reached his destination, wherever that might be, which accounts for the statement of the woman Georgie Costar that he only had ten thousand dollars on board the ship. SAN FRANCISCO, April 26th. The contribution to the Centennial fund will it is expected reach$25,000. 15,000 having already been subscribed. The bogus roll dodge is being played in the city lead pipe of the exact size and weight being put in rolls instead A Respectable Witness. It must be confessed that if President Grant has been unfortunate in his choice of friends, he has been sometimes less unlucky in the selection of his enemies, and Mr. Don Piatt, editor of the Washington Capital, and habitual slanderer, is a strong case in point. Having for several years entertained a lively conviction to the effect that Mr. Don Piatt was a scoundrel, we took no notice of his recent personal libel upon Water, under the same circumstances, would have been equally objectionable, and if nothing had been drunk, some slip of the tongue or other defect would have been remembered against them, as it is impossible to handle coals without becoming smirched. According to the saloon man's article, he argued the matter with the committee. Let us examine some of his statements. He says: "I was not aware, by any act of the people of Orange, that they were opposed to anything of the kind." Where was he when the people of Orange prevented a saloon being established in P. Davis & Bro's building, now being occupied by Andrus & Parker. For miles away, tending bar at the Anaheim Hotel! Again, when one of his carpenters was questioned in regard to the size of the projected saloon, he said they would not build large at first as they were doubtful whether they would be allowed to remain or not. These incidents show plainly that he was not ignorant of the public sentiment at Orange. Will his argument, that a saloon would keep specie here, instead of allowing it to go to Anaheim and Santa Ana, bear investigation? Let us see. The victims pay him for their drinks and he pays the same over to the dealer or producer, with the exception of some little surplus to pay his board. What is the difference between his carrying the money off in bulk and its oozing out in dribbles from the pockets of his so-called customers at Anaheim or Santa Ana? Simply this: By bringing the temptation nearer, he secures more victims and carries off more money than would reach him at those places from this source. Indeed, he came here for this very purpose; but would like to disguise his real aims by appearing as an Angel of Light. To this end he would have us believe that he has invested three or four hundred dollars here to keep our money from going to Anaheim and the other place! Disinterested benevolence! would be the first exclamation; but alas for false pretenses! "The lion's skin falls away and discloses the ears of the ass." Another consideration in regard to this abstraction of money from the community, is that there is no return made for it that is of any practical benefit to the recipients. Our benefactor, then, in his own proper garb, is a plunderer—licensed if you will—robbing us of our character, our good name, our money, our health and our happiness, and giving us instead disgrace, poverty, sickness and misery.

SAN FRANCISCO，April 26th. The contribution to the Centennial fund will it is expected reach $25000, 15000 having already been submerbed. The bogus roll dodge is being played in the city，lead pipe of the exact size and weight being put in rolls instead of half dollars. Various banks and money brokers have received stuffed rolls. The Pacific Bank took in about $200 of lead pipe and Donahoe & Kelly received a couple of rolls from E.Newbugher & Co., who on being notified at once redeemedthe leaden tubes. Hopkins & Haley, money brokers，received several rolls from Donohoe，Kelly & Co., among a draw of silver to pay The London and San Francisco Bank. The bank discovered fraud and the spurious rolls were immediately returned through channels by which they had arrived. The Nevada Bank counted all its silver rolls on Monday，但 no bogus ones were found. Thatthe swindler has confederates is probable，as many brokers have been victimized. MARYSVILLE，April 25.

SAN DIEGO，April 25. Last evening，at 9 o'clock.W.H.Bury,the operatorinthe signal se A Respectable Witness. It must be confessed that if President Grant has been unfortunate in his choice of friends, he has been sometimes less unlucky in the selection of his enemies, and Mr. Don Piatt, editor of the Washington Capital, and habitual slanderer, is a strong case in point. Having for several years entertained a lively conviction to the effect that Mr. Don Piatt was a scoundrel, we took no notice of his recent personal libel upon the President, but as he has just written himself down a corrupt and shameless rascal before the Clymer investigating committee, we think it proper to give his reputation the benefit of his own testimony. Being examined before the aforesaid committee, Mr. Don Piatt coolly stated that he had been mainly instrumental in getting a certain patent for the prevention of moths, introduced to the War Department; that he was paid by the patentees at first five, and then fifteen per cent., as his share of the spoils; that he has received in this way about $20,000; and that he believes the patent to be a fraud. It is not everybody who possesses the calm effrontery to make such a confession as this in the face of the world, and this fact shows Mr. Don Piatt to be a particularly hardened rogue. Considering that he has spent many years in holding Grant up toodium, and in circulating malicious lies about him and about all other public men whom he could not blackmail, he might have displayed a little more sensibility, for it is a common trait in professional slanders and backbiters that they are exceedingly thin-skinned and though using the scalping-knife themselves as a matter of course, yet they will cry out in agony if a pin is stuck into them. But Don Piatt is evidently case-hardened, and does not care what the world thinks of him. Perhaps he has wisely concluded that, having long outlived his reputation, he might as well make a virtue of necessity, and get some credit for confessing frankly what can no longer be concealed. But however that may be it is a comfort to know that one more rascal is exposed, and when his calumnious sheet comes out with foul attacks upon public men, the people will do well to remember that the assailant is on his own showing, far more fit to break stones in a penitentiary than to ay down a code of ethics for the use of his fellow-citizens. — Sacramento Record-Union. Blaine's speech is straightforward and lucid. If his statement of facts be accepted, there will be little or nothing left to support the scandal in any of its present forms. The Sun's editorial says that Blaine made his promised speech yesterday. His subject was the $64,000 paid him by the Union Pacific Railroad Company for worthless bonds. His explanation is not satisfactory. We believe he had the money. The Herald thinks the long statement made by Blaine will be accepted as satisfactory by candid men of both parties. He assigns very good reasons for collecting the evidence himself and coming forward in his vindication. Accepting Blaine's vindication, the public will be curious to know who inspired the accusation. Harrison is a Republican, and is understood to be a personal friend of Blaine's rival. It would now seem to be in order for Morton to rise and explain. The World says that Blaine's denial would have been more effective if made earlier. Blaine is as slow as Bristow is quick to repel assaults. A temperate, middle course would serve both better. Though Blaine's contradiction is flat, peremptory and supported by explicit letters from persons who are in positions to know what they affirm, it cannot be said to have finally made an end of Wilson or Harrison. The Times says that the appearance of Blaine in a defensive role is a novel occurrence. Heretofore his attitude has been aggressive. To most of his opponents, even, his attitude will seem that of conscious innocence. His defense is far more specific and complete than the charges brought against him. Some one is interested in destroying Blaine's reputation. To accomplish that, evidence, if it exists, is necessary. Mere assertions will no longer do, and on the present showing Blaine must be held acquitted. The Tribune says, editorially, that the speech of Jones, urging that silver should be made a legal tender in certain proportions to gold, will attract attention by its display of erudition on the subject, whatever may be thought of his financial theory. This speech, so far as delivered, is very superior to the usual flood of Congressional wisdom on such subjects. The Delmonico Restaurant, corner of Broadway and Chambers streets, is finally closed. The Tribune's Washington special says that one of the investigating com- replication of the House cochairy impeachment. A general demurrer is interposed to the first of the two replications, alleging its insufficiency. He denies that he was Secretary of War on March 2d, 1876, and denies that he resigned to escape proceedings of any kind. He did resign on an understanding with Clymer's Committee that nothing further should come out of it, and he is not forced to the defense of implicating his wife. He yielded that suggestion which was made by Clymer. SAN DIEGO, April 25. Last evening, at 9 o'clock, W.H. Story, the operator in the signal service at Camp Grant, was married to Miss Carrie Choate, daughter of D.J.Coate, recently appointed postmaster of this city. The parties were at Camp Grant, while the officiating clergyman was in San Diego, the ceremony being performed by telegraph in the presence of a large party of friends and the immediate telegraph offices on the line were thronged with visitors the novelty. CINCINNATI, April 25th. Particulars of a horrible crime caught light in a forest in Ohio about nine weeks ago. John Baumer was working in field with his daughter aged seventeen. He came enraged at something the latter had done, and raising a hand spiked him over the head, knocking him senseless. Thinking he had one fainted, and fearful of the consequences when his brutality should become known, he struck him again after until life became extinct, and finishing by covering the body in adjacent log heap and threatening to girl with like treatment unless a promised silence. He gave out that the boy had run away and nothing strange was thought of the matter until yesterday, when the little girl in answer to a question admitted she knew the whereabouts of her brother but was afraid to tell. Up being questioned closely she gave full account of the murder. The whole neighborhood turned out; after a short search found the body partially decomposed by exposure Upon suspicion being aroused Baumer attempted to escape, but was arrested and lodged in jail. Rev. Mr. Parker, pastor of the Plymouthian church at Ashland, Ky., home last Wednesday in a rather mysterious manner, in the compa of a young girl of his congregation. It is thought they came to this city. He had been stationed at that place for twenty years, and has been regarded as an exemplary man. His conduct is the subject of much comment. He left a wife and several children at Ashland. He had recently been called to a church near Baltimore, and his friends expected him soon to leave for his new field of labor. SAN FRANCISCO, April 27.

The Republican State Convention met at Sacramento to-day. The convention adopted by a large majority, a resolution that while the Republican party contained many men who, by their recognized ability and devotion to the principles of their party, have proved themselves worthy of public support and confidence, and capable of filling honorably the highest office in the gift of the people, the Republican party of California recognizes in the Hon. James G. Blaine a tried exponent of the principles of the party, of large experience in public life, and a pure and devoted character, and possessing in a remarkable degree those personal qualifications which would do honor to the office of President of the United States. Resolved. That while thus expressing our preference for the Hon. Jas. G. Blaine, yet having confidence in the intelligence of our delegates to the National Convention, we leave them unembarked by instructions and Notice. ANAHEIM, Cal., April 15, 1876.

Thinking he had only fearful of the consequentthis brutality should become he struck him again and life became extinct, and covering the body in an dog heap and threatening the like treatment unless she almost. He gave out that had run away and nothing was thought of the matter day, when the little girl to a question admitted that her whereabouts of her but was afraid to tell. Upon questioned closely she gave a count of the murder. The neighborhood turned out; and short search found the body decomposed by exposure. Deposition being aroused Haumer to escape, but was arrested and in jail. Mr. Parker, pastor of the Preschurch at Ashland, Ky., left Wednesday in a rather manner, in the company Blaine will ask the House for permamission to make a personal explanation, wherein he will answer the charges recently made against him relative to railroad bonds. The World's Washington correpondent says that Davenport failed in his testimony to convince the Comittee that his huge expenditures were proper. Even the Republican members do not deny it, and are willing to concede that there have been gross irregularities in the matter of vouchers. Lieutenant-Commander Johnson, commanding the United States naval force on the Rio Grande, telegraphs to the Navy Department that all reports of forced loans on foreign merchants at New Laredo are untrue. In the case of the Otez mine of New Mexico the Secretary of the Interior affirms the survey of 1861, as now occupied by the New Mexico Mining Company, and directs the issuance of a patent to the company in accordance with the survey. The quantity of land involved is over 69,000 acres. Secretary Chandler has reversed the decision of the General Land Office in the case of the ex-mission lands of San Diego, and orders that the survey made by the Surveyor General of California be approved, modified only so far as is necessary in the Eastern boundary to conform with the survey of the Cajon ranch. The patent will be issued as soon as the corrected plats of the survey can be obtained from the Surveyor-General of California. The decision gives the ranch claimants about 56,000 acres, and includes several thousand acres on the southwest corner, which were excluded by the Commissioner's decision. The N.Y. Herald referring to the question of the Presidency says it must be conceded that no one thus far named will have more chances of carrying Indiana, Illinois and Ohio, but adds keep the ermine out of politics. We cannot look with patience upon the effort to nominate Judge Davis. Blaine thinks the recent attacks upon him have strengthened his chances for the Presidential nomination. The Massachusetts Republican State Convention yesterday refused to pledge the party to any candidate for the Presidency, and flatly snubbed Blaine and Bristow.
