ANAHEIM GAZETTE SATURDAY...MAY 6, 1876. WAR SPECULATIONS. The war cloud in Eastern Europe seems to grow slowly darker. It seems as if Prussia, England and Germany were all ready for the fray, but each hesitated to begin. The courtesy they show each other is quite alarming, and savors of the freezing politeness of mortal enemies. It looks, however, as though matters would soon be brought to a crisis by the total inability of Turkey to subjugate her rebellious subjects in Herzegovina. The insurrectionary district is one of great wealth of soil and capable, under a stable government, of vast improvement and cultivation. It would, therefore, be a desirable acquisition to any country, but especially so to Prussia, which is a poor agricultural country. It is also an object of vast importance to Russia, since possession of this district would place her so much nearer to Constantinople. Clearly, then, the interests of Russia and Prussia are antagonistic, so far. Add, then, that the possession of Constantinople by Anaheim Gazette is much pleased with the rebuke administered to snobbery in general by the Emperor of Brazil. It is a strange fact that while Americans profess republicanism so loudly and affect to ridicule royalty, none are more addicted to toadyism than they. Let any sprig of nobility or Royalty deign to put foot on our republican shores and he is immediately pounced upon by a set of toadying snobs and fawned upon to an extent which is absolutely sickening. This sort of a thing is in execrable taste, besides being contemptible. The greatest trial royal personages have to encounter, is this same class of toadyists. They cannot move, breathe or exist without being the center of a mob of tools, who imagine a Royal personage is differently constituted from any other human being. And when they seek rest by taking a foreign tour incognito, they are subjected to worse persecution abroad, if possible, than that which they have to suffer at home. The foreigner, moreover, has not that claim to persecute these unfortunates that their own people have. For instance, Englishmen paying a tax to support all interested in government and keen interest in tendency between Blaine appears among the political strength lays with is natural. Blaine a shining light party. As a debat surpassed.

To the point only as a brilliant done much to con- in Congress. He connected with any g of statesmanship destroyer than a his ability and stable government, of vast improvement and cultivation. It would, therefore, be a desirable acquisition to any country, but especially so to Prussia, which is a poor agricultural country. It is also an object of vast importance to Russia, since possession of this district would place her so much nearer to Constantinople. Clearly, then, the interests of Russia and Prussia are antagonistic, so far. Add, then, that the possession of Constantinople by Russia is as good as ruin to England; that England and Germany are two of the three first mercantile powers in the world; that their commercial intercourse is so great that its continuance is almost a vital necessity to both; that every increase of power to Russia is a new danger to Germany; that France and Austria are neither of them in a condition to engage in war; that England and Germany are the most natural allies in Europe—and we think it will be potent to all that when the war does break out, we shall see Germany and England on one side and Russia on the other. What the result might be, we cannot say; but with J. Bull's money and navy, combined with Germany's matchless army, it looks likely that Russia will have her hands full. That war will follow the failure of Turkey to control the insurrection, is almost beyond question. The great powers will never allow the creation of a new power, no matter how small. And so Herzegovana, cut loose from Turkey, must become Prussian, Austrian or Russian. Austria being too poor to fight, the struggle must, we think, take the form we have indicated. NO MILLENNIUM. Humanity is frail, and we fear the millennium will never arrive. We hear of nothing but wars and rumors of wars. Threatened war in Europe, threatened war in India. Threats of war on our Indian frontier—horrible strife, fratricidal strife, Anahelim, in Los Angeles, in Los Nietos, in Orange, in Santa Ana. Poor, afflicted Los Angeles County—doomed to be torn by dissension! The City of our Lady—the Queen of the Angels, is divided into two parties, who are waging a fearful battle. No blood has been shed, as yet, but a terrible quantity of gas, of a worse kind than that supplied by the Gas Co., has been expended, and an enormous quantity of "straight" consumed. Cause—Board of Public Works. Downey City is in a fever of excitement, and party feeling runs exist without being the center of a mob of tools, who imagine a Royal personage is differently constituted from any other human being. And when they seek rest by taking a foreign tour incognito, they are subjected to worse persecution abroad, if possible, than that which they have to suffer at home. The foreigner, moreover, has not that claim to persecute these unfortunates that their own people have. For instance, Englishmen paying a tax to support their Royal and Imperial puppets have a right to bore them, if they think proper; but Americans, who do not contribute to the support of these august personages and affect to ridicule them, should have the decency and good sense to grant them the same privileges as are granted to other visitors to our shores. Dom Pedro came to our shores for a double purpose—First, to do his duty as an Emperor at Philadelphia—Second, to enjoy a brief holiday as an individual. It will be in order, to bore him to death at the Centennial. He will be there for that purpose, and will doubtless be prepared to stand any amount of public banquets, receptions and dinners. But in the mean time he is a private gentleman taking a brief holiday; and in God's name, let our people grant him the privilege of spending it as he pleases. It is his right; let none question it by thought, word or deed. FRUIT DRYING. Since writing our article in reference to the Alden Fruit Preserving Company, we have received further information on the subject. We are informed by a reliable authority that our estimate of the number of muscat vines was too low. It is said there are at least 50,000 bearing vines in our immediate vicinity, and about 50,000 more not yet yielding fruit. It is further said that the advantage of the muscat over the mission vine is so great that almost all of the vineyardists are setting them out as fast as possible, and there is no doubt that the entire crop of the district will very soon be composed of muscat grapes. We are further informed that in the event of the establishment of a factory in this vicinity, the price offered will yield a fair profit to the producer, and the dryer need fear no lack of material to work on. In addition to grapes, our soil is well adapted to the production of numerous other fruits suitable for drying purposes. The formation of the new Water Company on such a solid basis gives undoubted security as to water supply, and altogether we cannot see confidence of the wire-pullers, and more with them Union, Grant even then, strictly specialist. To the people only as a brilliant done much to coerce in Congress. His nected with any gift of statesmanship destroyer than a his ability and rather J. G. Blank the people's.

Given nation, such as w Democrats must equal in merit, and what we all need helm to hie us ov Meeting We are indebted for the following Pursuant to an Gazette, a meettered in the coditch, took place April 28th, 187 The City of our Lady—the Queen of the Angels, is divided into two parties, who are waging a fearful battle. No blood has been shed, as yet, but a terrible quantity of gas, of a worse kind than that supplied by the Gas Co., has been expended, and an enormous quantity of "straight" consumed. Cause—Board of Public Works. Downey City is in a fever of excitement, and party feeling runs high. Charges and counter charges are made and discussed, and dismissed in the usual manner at the bar. Cause—change of name of town. Anaheim was in a state of great perturbation as to town or city organization, and several complimentary things were thought by both sides, but the entire question was decided by a piece of masterly senatorial inactivity. Then came Orange, on the saloon question, and of a truth it seems as though the temperance party were going to out-argue the saloon-men, in defiance of the fact that drinkers are usually supposed to possess a monopoly of the secret of convincing others against their will. Last comes Santa Ana with a violent agitation on the school question. We have already expressed our opinion upon school matters, so will simply renew our advice to the good people of Santa Ana, which is to take the Noonday Intelligence and let the children read that. There will then be no need of schools. Meanwhile, to quote the Immortal Useless, the gift-taker, "Let us have peace." "Well, Mr. Miller," said a Yankee to a travelling Scot, as they stood by the Falls of Niagara, "is it not wonderful? In your country you never saw anything like that." "Like that!" said the Scot, "there's a far mair wonderful concern na twa miles fra what I was born." "Indeed!" exclaimed Jonathan, with an air of supercilious skepticism, "and pray what kind of concern may it be?" "Weel, man," replied Sawney, "it's a peacock wi a wooden leg." The terms of the following California Senators have expired: Bartlett and Roach, of San Francisco; Bush, of Los Angeles; Eaton, of Tuolumne; Edgerton, of Sacramento; Farley, of Anador; Fraser, of El Dorado; Gibbons, of Alameda; Graves, of San Luis Obispo; Hendrieks, of Solano; Hopkins, of Calaveras; Laine, of Santa Clara; Lindsey, of Kern and Tulare; Martin, of Placer; McCune, of Solano; O'Conner, of Nevada; Spencer, of Yuba; Tinnin, of Trinity; Turner, of Sierra: Tuttle, of Sonoma. He was telling her of Belknap's disgrace, and casually remarked that there was a woman at the bottom of it, as there always was in the troubles of men. But after he had crawled out from under the bed and apologized, he gathered the children around him and told them that a woman was a holy and beautiful thing. So it is that trifles change our views of life. A flat-rion—aye, even an inexpensive rolling-pin—may be the humble instrument to teach a man that the hay-loft is a good enough place for him to sleep in. Scene—a butcher's stand. Butcher, "Come, John, be lively now; break the bones in Mr. Williams' chops, and put Mr. Smith's ribs in the basket for him." John (brilakly): "All right sir; just as soon as I've sawed off Mrs. Murphey's leg." ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, MAY 6, 1876. BRISTOW AND BLAINE. All interested in the cause of good government and reform, must feel a keen interest in the struggle for ascendency between Bristow and Blaine. Blaine appears to be very strong among the politicians, while Bristow's strength lays with the people. This is natural. Blaine has been for years a shining light in the Republican party. As a debater, he is probably unsurpassed. A brilliant orator, and a shrewd politician, he is an antagonist to be feared, an ally to be courted. His candidacies for the speakership have made him an adept in all the arts and ruses of political manipulation, of which his antagonist is ignorant. Long occupying a prominent place among Republican leaders, Blaine has the confidence of the party workers and wire-pullers, and can probably do more with them than any man in the Union, Grant excepted. Blaine is then, strictly speaking, a party politician. To the people he is known only as a brilliant debater, who has done much to confuse the Democrats in Congress. His name is not connected with any great practical work of statesmanship—he is rather a destroyer than a creator. Admitting his ability and integrity, Blaine is A Beautiful Extract. It was night. Jerusalem slept quietly amid her hills like a child upon the breast of its mother. The noiseless sentinel stood like a statue at his post, and the philosopher's lamp burned dimly in the recesses of his chamber. But a moral darkness involved the nation in its enlightened shadows. Reason shed a faint glimmering over the minds of men like the cold and insufficient shining of a distant star. The immortality of man's spiritual nature were unknown, his relation to heaven undiscovered and his future destiny obscured in a cloud of mystery. It was at this period that two forms of ethereal mould hovered about the land of God's chosen people. They came, sister angels, sent to earth on some embassy of love. The one of majestic stature and well-formed limb, which her drapery scarcely concealed, and her erect bearing and steady eye exhibited the highest degree of strength and confidence. Her right arm was extended in an expressive gesture upward, where night appears to have planted her darkest pavilion; while on her left inclines her delicate companion, in form and countenance the contrast of the other. She was drooping like a flower moistened by refreshing dew, and her bright but troubled eyes scanned them with ardent but varying glances. Suddenly a light like the sun flashed out from the heavens, and Faith and Hope hailed with exciting song the ascending star of Bethlehem. Years rolled away and a stranger was seen in Jerusalem. He was a weak, In his letter, published in the Gazette last week, the President of the Alden Company suggested that our farmers either plant or graft the Zante currant upon the Mission vines. The following, relating to this fruit, we find in the Stockton Independent: What can be accomplished in California in the matter of producing dried currants, commonly known as the "Zante currants," or "ralsins of Corinth," may in some measure be understood by examining samples of the fruit left by W.B. West for exhibition at the grocery store of H.S. Sargent, on Hunter street. The quality of the fruit appears superior to the best imported, and in point of cleanliness the boxes far surpass the general average of the foreign article. Mr. West exhibits the samples mentioned with the view of drawing general attention to what promises to become a very important industry in this State. The dried currant of commerce is really a small grape, indigenous to the Ionian islands, from which immense quantities annually find their way to the markets of the world. About 3,000-400 pounds are annually imported into the United States, and our supply, as well as that of England and other European countries, is chiefly drawn from the Ionian islands, Greece and Turkey. From the success that has attended experiments in producing this fruit in California, it seems only reasonable to believe that in time, and only a very short time, a heavy current of trade in dried fruits must inevit- confidence of the party workers and wire-pullers, and can probably do more with them than any man in the Union, Grant excepted. Blaine is, then, strictly speaking, a party politician. To the people he is known only as a brilliant debater, who has done much to confuse the Democrats in Congress. His name is not connected with any great practical work of statesmanship—he is rather a destroyer than a creator. Admitting his ability and integrity, Blaine is rather J. G. Blaine's candidate than the people's. It is J. G. Blaine that is pressing Blaine's claims, and not the people. Bristow, on the other hand, is essentially the people's man. His name is inseparably connected with the cause of reform. He is the one man of all others who truly represents reformation by deeds, not by words. It is by his exertions and ability that fraud after fraud has been brought to light; it is due to his influence that many have been punished, and that disgrace and humiliation await others. He is really and truly the people's man. With him at the head of the Government, war to the wrong-doer, The independent voters would hail his nomination with joy, and we find even Democratic journals using Bristow as a rod to compel their convention to nominate a first-class man. For they say, "If the St. Louis Convention nominates a weak man, many Democrats will support Bristow, for in him they have confidence." Blaine's experience as Speaker qualify him admirably to preside over the Senate. Bristow's executive ability and integrity fit him splendidly for the chief magistracy. Then let the Republicans nominate Bristow for President and Blaine for Vice President. Do not let them kill both their chances by factious opposition which will inevitably result in the nomination of one of the Federal ring by compromise. Given a Republican nomination, such as we indicate, and the Democrats must follow suit with one equal in merit, and thus we shall get what we all need—a good man at the helm to hie us over the storm. Meeting of Irrigators. We are indebted to Mr. M. L. Wicks for the following report: Pursuant to an advertisement in the Gazette, a meeting of the parties interested in the completion of the water ditch, took place at Kroeger's Hall on April 28th, 1876. On motion, Mr. Her right arm was extended in an expressive gesture upward, where night appears to have planted her darkest pavilion; while on her left inclines her delicate companion, in form and countenance the contrast of the other. She was drooping like a flower moistened by refreshing dew, and her bright but troubled eyes scanned them with ardent but varying glances. Suddenly a light like the sun flashed out from the heavens, and Faith and Hope hailed with exciting song the ascending star of Bethlehem. Years rolled away and a stranger was seen in Jerusalem. He was a weak, unassuming man, whose happiness seemed to consist in acts of benevolence to the human race. There were traces of sorrow on his countenance, though no one knew why he grieved, for he lived in the practice of every virtue, and was loved by all the good and wise. By-and-by it was rumored that the stranger worked miracles, that the blind saw, the dumb spake, the dead arose, the ocean moderated its chasing tide, the very thunder articulated. He was the son of God. Envy assailed him to death. Thickly guarded he ascended the hill of Calvary. A heavy cross bent him to the earth; but Faith leaned on his arm, and Hope, dipping her pinion in his blood, mounted to the skies. Downey City Items. The Los Nietos Valley Courier has the following: There are now eighty-eight names upon the rolls of Los Nietos Collegiate Institute. This is a great increase since Mr. Riddick assumed charge. It is estimated by those supposed to be posted, that there yet remains in the valley about twenty-five thousand centals of last year's coin crop. Many are holding on in hopes of realizing better prices, corn railing very low at present. A debating club has been organized, meeting regularly at Shugg's school house, to discuss subjects of interest, as well as to while away a pleasant hour. A paper, in manuscript, is read for the edification of the society. We understand the Methodist congregation have decided to build the church somewhere in the neighborhood of the College, on a site yet to be selected. It would have been constructed here, we are informed, if our citizens had contributed one thousand dollars toward the building fund. A handsome and commodious edifice, costing about $5,000 is contemplated. The late rain is said to have injured the barley crop in this valley considerably. A great deal of the barley was headed out, and the rain filling the heads with water caused the grain to fall. Some fields we saw, however, looked fine. Hay is said to have been injured some, where recently cut. It materially helped the fruit crop, and aided those just planting or about to plant corn or other crops. We learn from Mr. Perkins, who is now able to be about, that the tobacco plants both here and at Costa, are inhibited by the highest degree of strength and confidence.

DomPedro'svisittotheSynagogue Meeting of Irrigators. We are indebted to Mr. M. L. Wicks for the following report: Pursuant to an advertisement in the Gazette, a meeting of the parties interested in the completion of the water ditch, took place at Kroeger's Hall on April 28th, 1876. On motion, Mr. Fischer was called to the chair, and M. L. Wicks chosen Secretary. A few introductory remarks were made by Mr. Fischer, who then called upon Mr. Olden to explain the plan offered, by which the ditch can be completed. Mr. Hunter then arose and referred to the want of statements and ignorance of the affairs of the Districts; also referred to an attempt he had made to get a further subscription of 75 cts per acre to work under the old Bush law. Mr. Pierce raised a point of order on Mr. Hunter, which was sustained. After further discussion the subscription list was presented, and 200 shares subscribed. The Land Company offers to take one-half of the stock, and desired the people in the District to take the other half. The Company, however, are determined to build the ditch and will do it. Tax receipts given by the Water Commissioners, in the hands of any bona fide holders, are receivable as cash in payment of stock subscription to the Cannon de Santa Ana Water Co. In electing Directors, the stock holder may vote only for one or any number of the five Directors, casting proportionately more votes for the Director or Directors desired. For instance, 5 votes for one or 2 for two Directors on each share of stock represented. Deeds Filed. S Bustamenta to G Davis—Lot 7; block R, Davis Bros. addition to Ausheim. J D Linderman to F Langenberger—south twenty-six acres of No. 3], of Anaheim extension; $625. The late rain is said to have injured the barley crop in this valley considerably. A great deal of the barley was headed out, and the rain filling the heads with water caused the grain to fall. Some fields we saw, however, looked fine. Hay is said to have been injured some, where recently cut. It materially helped the fruit crop, and aided those just planting or about to plant corn or other crops. We learn from Mr. Perkins, who is now able to be about, that the tobacco plants both here and at Costa, are looking exceedingly well. The old crop is curing finely, and in color and flavor bids fair to equal the weed grown in any section. A factory here in the near future is a foregone conclusion. His Lodge. It got so at last, says the Detroit Free Press, that his wife began to wonder what business "the lodge" had on hand that it should meet four or five times per week. He was out four nights a week until 11 o'clock and he came home with redness in his eyes and his step was unsteady as he passed down the hall. He said "the lodge" business was mighty hard on the muscles and that candidates were coming in by the hundreds. One night he groaned out in his sleep and talked of the "right bower" and yelled "spades," and the wife wondered still more. The other evening she took a position where she could see who went up stairs into the lodge rooms. Her husband passed by and entered a place where rows of bottles adorn the shelves, and coffee and spice stand in a saucer on the counter to purify breath. When she went in he was one of four at a table. Each one of the four was looking at the pictures on some cards held in his hand. "So this the lodge, is it?" she inquired, as she stood before him. He was caught, and he resolved to make a clean breast of it. He laid his cards down, rose up and gave her his arm and said: "I won't lie to you, Mary. This is not the lodge-room—this is where we stop for a minute to beat the blasted enemies of our craft out of their surplus greenbacks! When I come tonight, Mary, I'll bring that shawl you spoke of." The regularity with which that man now hangs around home every evening in the week is astonishing. Flood & O'Brien, it is authoritatively stated, last week offered two million dollars to the heirs of the Russ estate for the Russ House property, on Montgomery street. The offer was refused. The New York Herald says it should not be surprised if Judge David Davis should be the next President. Governor Tilden has secured the votes of the Presidential delegates of New York. Dom Pedro's visit to the Synagogue in San Francisco was attended by an incident that illustrates the Emperor's erudition. The "Scrolls" were opened for him when he read fluently from the first book of Moses. He also translated the matter freely and with elegance. The Rev. Drs. Lilienthal of Cincinnati, and Cohen, of San Francisco, accompanied the Emperor on the visit.

GAZETTE NO.29 BY TELEGRAPH. SAN FRANCISCO, April 28. The Virginia City Enterprise, of Wednesday, referring to the recent break in the stock market, says, editorially, that a gentleman connected with that paper, well versed in mining affairs, within a few days made a thorough examination of the Consolidated Virginia and California mines, and reports them as well as, or better than a year ago. The article continues: "In fact, it is well understood that a drop in the market about this time would be a big thing for Keene, who well understands the power of a well-told lie on so excitable a subject as the stock market." SAN FRANCISCO, April 28. A Washington correspondent of the Bulletin says, in relation to the scarce city of fractional currency, it may as well be understood now that Congress does not intend to authorize any more fractional currency, and upon this fact hinges a good deal of opportunity for discussion. The government commenced paying on Wednesday with sixteen million dollars of certain pieces in the vaults, and a capacity of running three million dollars a month, if necessary. The capacity could be almost doubled. The amount of silver coin and bullion, in the hands of the Government is twenty million dollars and possibly, when all is coined, twenty-one million dollars, and the payments during the rush have been almost a million a day. NEW YORK, April 29. Commodore Vanderbilt is slaking. His physical constitution is rapidly going to pieces. He has suffered from hemorrhoids half his life, but the real cause is more deeply mated. He has diseases of the bladder and hernia. It is feared that the bladder will be the ultimate and not very distant cause of his death. Vanderbilt being noted for his caution in all business affairs, for years has been prepared to resign his post, and so complete are all his arrangements in this respect that it is believed, notwithstanding his great influence in the railroad business of the country, that his death would have but little effect in the stock market. The stock which he holds in the New York Central and Harlem Railroads would not, it is said, be thrown on the market within one year, if at all. NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 28. A special to the American from Tuscuta says that Wm. Boddle, alias White, for the crime of rape committed upon a white woman named Arlella Little in Lauderdale county, in 1874, was executed to-day.

The Tribune's Washington correspondent says that an interesting incident, which was never printed, has just transpired. When Lincoln was inaugurated the second time, in 1865, and just at the last portico, a man, who was recognized by several persons to be Wilkes Booth, pushed hurriedly through the passage leading from the Senate Chamber to the rotunda, and in an excited and determined manner broke through the line of policemen, which kept back the crowd from the procession, and made a desperate attempt to reach the eastern door of the Capitol. He was discovered by a member of the Capitol police. He seized the excited stranger, and after a severe struggle, succeeded in forcing him back into the crowd. Booth had already been noticed by at least two does not intend to authorize any more fractional currency, and upon this fact hinges a good deal of opportunity for discussion. The government commenced paying on Wednesday with sixteen million dollars of certain pieces in the vaults, and a capacity of running three million dollars a month, if necessary. The capacity could be almost doubled. The amount of silver coin and bullion, in the hands of the Government is twenty million dollars and possibly, when all is coined, twenty-one million dollars, and the payments during the rush have been almost a million a day. SONOMA, April 27. There was a destructive fire here this morning, burning the Bank Exchange building, Odd Fellows' Hall, two stores and a blacksmith shop. The loss is partly covered by insurance.

The World's Washington correspondent says that the public verdict to-night on the course pursued by Belknap is that it was unwise and hurt his cause. The proposition to postpone the trial till December took everyone by surprise. Blair gave three weak reasons for this, and every body was disappointed. Carpenter's speech was weak in pleading that his client was a Republican, while the accusers were Democrats and ex-Confederates. He outraged decency by comparing his war record with that of his accusers. The general result of the day was disastrous to Belknap. The notorious Davenport proved, today, to be after all a bad witness for those who maintain that there has been no violation of law in the use of the secret service funds in carrying the elections in New York. He admitted explicitly that the money given him by order of the President was to pay for work for which the witness did not pretend, to say had even the color of law to cover it. Davenport admitted that he got up some of the schemes without consulting the acts of Congress, and then applied to the President at Long Branch for money to pay for them. He appears to have been so well aware of his illegal conduct that he appealed to the President there as a partisan, instead of coming to Washington as an officer and conferring with the proper officials.

Right irregularities in of the estate of Adam business will have to with again. Of members of the edda has ordered acess for the month of and just at the last portico, a man, who was recognized by several persons to be Wilkes Booth, pushed hurriedly through the passage leading from the Senate Chamber to the rotunda, and in an excited and determined manner broke through the line of policemen, which kept back the crowd from the procession, and made a desperate attempt to reach the eastern door of the Capitol. He was discovered by a member of the Capitol police. He seized the excited stranger, and after a severe struggle, succeeded in forcing him back into the crowd. Booth had already been noticed by at least two persons who knew him, to pass hurriedly from the direction of the Senate Chamber towards the rotunda, and some idea of his determination to reach the inaugural may be formed from the fact that he broke away from the man who seized him, and but for the closing of the side door, would probably have accomplished his purpose, whatever it was. Those who stopped Booth, and who, in all probability, saved the President's life, were not aware who the excited stranger was, but the importance of their action can hardly be overestimated. The man who stopped Booth is named Westfall. He was made Commissioner of Public Buildings and Grounds, and was recently discharged by the House. SAN FRANCISCO, April 20. Dom Pedro left for Chicago direct this morning by the Chicago and Northwestern road. It is understood he will leave in a special car at Chicago, and go to Oil City, Penn. SAN DIEGO, April 28th. L. Mendelson, a merchant from San Rafael, Lower California, arrived here to-day. He says there was a rumor there that a banditti forty strong were organizing on the Colorado, contemplating mischief somewhere, but had heard nothing of the trouble near Campo. The people of San Rafael were dissatisfied at the removal of the headquarters of the Land Commissioners from that place to Tia Juano, near the line. Several political meetings had been held and considerable excitement prevailed. New York. April 29.

At the evening session of the Centennial Commission, it was decided to close the exhibition on Sunday, but, at 9 A.M., on Wednesday, the 10th inst. A.T.Goshorn, Director-General. NEW YORK, April 29. Tilden's chances for the Democratic Presidential nomination have considerably improved by the action of the New York State Convention. The ripple of the factious opposition amounts to nothing as affecting the decision at St. Louis. Tilden is clearly the choice of the people here, and if nominated at the National Convention, he will get the entire party vote of the State. In this respect his case is the reverse of Conkling's, whose nomination would divide the Republicans. Bayard says he cannot expect much support from New York when she has Tilden to offer, whom he regards as a man of unquestioned ability, and believes him so regarded by the Convention. Various party journals of the South, heretofore hostile, now admit that though Tilden is not their first choice, he may be the most available candidate. PHILADELPHIA, May 1. The Centennial Commissioners have reconsidered their action of yesterday, and voted to close the buildings and grounds on Sundays. CHICACO, April 30. Fourteen prisoners in the county Jail escaped from custody to-day. Up to a late hour to-night only one was recaptured. About 7 or 8 o'clock this morning four prisoners believed to be trustworthy, were sweeping the corridors. They throttled an old man who acted as deputy, tied him with cords, unlocked the callar doors and together with other prisoners, effected their escape. Those who escaped were the worst in the jail. One was under sentence for five years in the Penitentiary for burglary. We are informed by Jack Featherston that an affair of honor came off a few days ago at Palisade, between a well known military gentleman of that place and a former resident of Eureka. The former fall at the first fire from a wound inflicted about ten inches above the left ear, and the latter was arrested by the Chief of the Palisade Police, as he was attempting to escape. The sanguinary duellist was lodged in jail, but the next morning was released upon the affidavit of a restaurant keeper that the wounded man had that morning surrounded at breakfast four pounds of fried tripe, a yard and a half of sausages and three dozen hard boiled eggs—Eureka Sentinel.
