Anaheim Gazette SATURDAY... JANUARY 12, 1877. THE SECRETS OF SUCCESS. The death of Vanderbilt set us thinking as to what were the qualities that enabled men to amass large fortunes by their own individual exertions; as to whether it required transcendant genius or great rascality, or perseverance or honesty, or strength of mind or strength of body. We have concluded that the first essential is good health; in fact, almost perfect health—mens sana in corpore sano. Without perfect bodily health, it is almost impossible for the mind to be clear, active, enduring, for the individual to possess the power of lending all his intellectual powers to one object, and keeping it there concentrated. With a constitution such as Vanderbilt possessed, well cared for, and an average intellect combined with a singleness of purpose, success is certain. The features in the Commodore's life, as in that of Stewart, were marked care of good constitution, and entire concentration of all their powers on one object. Vanderbilt's line was transportation, and in steamboats and railroads exclusively he dealt. The whole of his immense energy was devoted to one purpose—the mastering of the transportation business; hence his success. The moral to be drawn from this life is simple, plain and practical; its application is obvious and within the reach of all. First, take care of the health nature has given you; put dissipation, riotous living and the like behind you, making your health your first care, thus insuring the ability to use to the fullest advantage whatever talents you may possess. HOODLUMISM. The question of the day on the Pacific Coast is, What are we to do with our hoodlums? The hoodlum, said to be a Pacific Coast production, (there are some even in this part of the State) is undoubtedly not a credit to the community, while it is certain that he is an undiluted evil. In his early stages he excites our contempt and disgust; he is not dangerous, but simply nauseating and annoying. As he develops more fully, however, he becomes not only offensive, but an object to be dreaded—not to be dreaded on account of his individual prowess or power, but on account of his mean treacherous habits, and of a practice he has of banding himself with others of his vile species, and making sudden and cowardly attacks on his enemies when he has every advantage in numbers, position and weapons. By this mode of action our hoodlum is enabled to exercise a system of terrorism which neither his qualities nor his numbers justify. Thoroughly understanding the value of unity," he uses every means to insure it, and admirable discipline is shown by hoodlum bands both in their attacks upon defenseless citizens or their property and in the Courts where they come up in numbers to swear any of their party clear who may have fallen into the clutches of an officer. No crime is too heinous or revolting for these young scoundrels to perpetrate—murder, rape, burglary, etc., are all on their category of sports. How to rid ourselves of this evil is a problem. The youth of these scoundrels is the most formidable barrier to their speedy extermination. No body of grown men would be allowed to conduct themselves as the hoodlums do. If the authorities failed to dispose of them, the citizens very soon would. The Sacramento Railway follows extractions its local columns: were amusing themselves of spectators on the day by indulging in an amusement which takes the place to so boxing holds in this case in knife practice; are about to enjoy the ing as to how much of knife is to be used.

The burning of that at Salinas is a suspicion the Alta. The fire borer's office and original and duplicate rolls, and we presume decease of the amount the Collector's statement be taken. Whether it is no mode of going mony of interest greater part of the less been paid, but the secure, and the man never pay; so the Strike thousands of dollars require the county to whole of his immense energy was devoted to one purpose—the mastering of the transportation business; hence his success. The moral to be drawn from this life is simple, plain and practical; its application is obvious and within the reach of all. First, take care of the health nature has given you; put dissipation, riotous living and the like behind you, making your health your first care, thus insuring the ability to use to the fullest advantage whatever talents you may possess. Next, carefully consider what trade, business or profession you are adapted to and have a liking for, and having found it, devote the whole of your energy to mastering its every detail. Turn not to the right or to the left, but adhere rigidly to the line laid down, and with patience and perseverance success is certain. We cannot all be Vanderbilts, but we can all earn a good living and lay up a store, so that our old age may be protected from want, be our vocation as humble as it may. The condition of affairs in Louisiana is very grave. It does indeed seem as if the people of that unfortunate State had lost their reason. Much tyranny may, on the one hand, have driven them to desperation; or, on the other, there may be a lawless state of feeling existing in the State, which defies control. Be it whichever it may, this is not the time for any outbreaks. The two political parties are so evenly matched in Congress that the people of any disputed State may rely upon justice, and should await it patiently. They may also depend on this, that the bulk of the American people cannot and will not tolerate another civil war, and that if any political party or body of lawless men attempt to stir up sedition or rebellion in any isolated State, swift and sure punishment will be theirs. There are constitutional remedies for all political evils, and the voice of the great American nation demands that they be resorted to and that violence and bloodshed be everywhere discountenanced. Mr. L. J. Lockhart, we hear, intends to carry the contest of the Supervisorial election in this district to the Supreme Court. This leaves us in the same position we occupied prior to the decision rendered by Judge O'Melveny in favor of Mr. W. H. Spurgeon. The Second Supervisorial District gave majorities for Tilden, Spurgeon and Kenfield, and in each case the election is contested—truly, a large expenience of an officer. No crime is too heinous or revolting for these young scoundrels to perpetrate—murder, rape, burglary, etc., are all on their category of sports. How to rid ourselves of this evil is a problem. The youth of these scoundrels is the most formidable barrier to their speedy extermination. No body of grown men would be allowed to conduct themselves as the hoodlums do. If the authorities failed to dispose of them, the citizens very soon would. But the nature of man revolts against waging warfare against boys, and when the police arrest these young rascals there is always a weeping mother or a heart-broken father on hand to plead to have their poor boy, their darling child, spared from the degrading influences and horrors of a Penitentiary, and to promise to look well after him in future. So one after another obtains his liberty, when his being at large is an outrage on justice and a disgrace to humanity. With the parents, we believe, lays all the blame of the creation of a hoodlum; with the authorities, the responsibility for his continued running at large. Complaint made to parents as to misconduct of their children instead of being received—as it should be—with thanks and civility, is usually the occasion of the complainant receiving a volley of abuse, such as can only issue from the mouth of an outraged mother in defence of her darling boy. Par example: Certain of our suckling hoodlums delight to sit on the edge of a sidewalk and when any lady passes, indulge in obscene language, spoken purposely loud so that the lady may hear. But let anyone venture to complain, and the youngsters deny the charge, and woe to the complainant. If parents would keep their children at home after dark, or make it their business to know what they are about, the evil would be checked right speedily. Failing this, what is wanted is a strict town ordinance and an officer who will carry it out without fear of this boy's father or that one's grandmother. And when hoodlums transgress the law, when by their acts they demonstrate the fact that they are fit subjects for a jail or reformatory, let them be sent there without hesitation or prejudice. We question if the inmates of the worst jail in the universe could teach a full-dedged hoodlum anything in the way of vice or blackguardism. We know of a town not a thousand miles from Anaheim where the citizens are at their wit's end to devise means to counteract the evil.

L. J. LOCKHART, we hear, intends to carry the contest of the Supervisorial election in this district to the Supreme Court. This leaves us in the same position we occupied prior to the decision rendered by Judge O'Melveny in favor of Mr. W. H. Spurgeon. The Second Supervisorial District gave majorities for Tilden, Spurgeon and Kenfield, and in each case the election is contested—truly, a large expenditure of voting power to small purpose. And still we do not hear of Rifle Clubs or anything of the kind. We are content to patiently await the lawful decisions of the proper authorities. We rather incline to the belief that when the people have cast their ballots their duty has temporarily ended, and that the proper authorities will be found capable and willing to do their duty in unravelling the tangled mass of legal difficulties surrounding the question. MURAT MASTERSON is an Arizona lawyer, and, being desirous of getting authority to practice before all Arizona Courts, he applied for such authority to the Supreme Court of the Territory, which is now in session. But an objection has been filed in the shape of a statement to the effect that he gave a certain Judge to understand that, for a favorable decision in a certain suit, said Judge would be pecuniarily reimbursed to the amount of five thousand dollars. This professional eccentricity, on the part of Mr. Masterson, will have to be explained away before his request is granted. A sad example of the fatal nature of diphtheria, has just occurred in Paris. A whole family, consisting of father, mother and two children were attacked with it, and carried off in a short time. Dr. Regnault, who attended them, caught the malady, and in spite of the care of one of his colleagues, Dr. Bisset, died also, in twenty-four hours. Dr. Bisset was then attacked in turn, and he expired. And when hoodlums transgress the law, when by their acts they demonstrate the fact that they are fit subjects for a jail or reformatory, let them be sent there without hesitation or prejudice. We question if the inmates of the worst jail in the universe could teach a full-fledged hoodlum anything in the way of vice or blackguardism. We know of a town not a thousand miles from Anaheim where the citizens are at their wit's end to devise means to counteract the evil. We have no remedy but the one we have mentioned—strict watchfulness on the part of the parents, unswerving justice on the part of the authorities. The following from a New York paper should in a measure reconcile us to the hardships of even a "dry winter." Such a season is certainly productive of less misery than the mildest winter in the Atlantic States: On Friday night, while the blinding storm was at its height, John Kehoe of Elizabeth heard cries of distress near the sewing machine factory in Elizabethport. He distinctly heard some one cry "Save me! I'm lost!" but he could not tell from what direction the words came. He searched until he was numbed by cold and bewildered by the snow and wind, and then went home. On Sunday the frozen body of Michael O'Neil was found near the factory, and almost within sight of his home. BEECHER is not cured yet. He said in a recent sermon. "There are feelings that cannot be expressed in words. When a man says to his chosen maiden, 'I love you,' do you suppose he tells the whole story? It is a story that cannot be told. It is infinite, boundless, supreme, a stream forever flowing, and never flowing away. And there is a state in those that have gone to the height of divine life which lawordless. It cannot be told."

It consists in knife practice, the parties who are about to enjoy themselves agreeing as to how much of the point of the knife is to be used. Generally they agree upon something less than three-quarters of an inch—usually quarter or half an inch. A handkerchief is then wound tightly about the remainder of the blade, and the parties proceed to fence with their weapons, and tickle one another at every opportunity, thus "keeping their hands in" for the vigorous and effective use of their knives whenever they may get into serious difficulty. Very frequently the name of "pic" engenders bad blood, one or the other of those playing it failing to relish the proddings or scratches he may receive, and it is not unusual in such cases for the handkerchiefs to be removed from the blades, and for the parties to struggle in mortal combat." The burning of the assessment rolls at Salinas is a suspicious affair, says the Alta. The fire began in the Tax Collector's office and destroyed the original and duplicate assessment rolls, and we presume there is no evidence of the amount of taxes paid, and the Collector's statement will have to be taken. Whether true or not, there is no mode of going behind the testimony of interested persons. The greater part of the taxes have doubtless been paid, but the delinquents are secure, and the most of them will never pay; so the State will lose many thousands of dollars. The Code should require the county to provide a fire-proof Flax Seed Culture. Edg. Gazette: Mr. Wm. T. Armstrong, of Salinas City, Monterey county, has annually, for several years, cultivated from one to six hundred acres for flax seed. He says it does not impoverish the soil more than other crops, and having a tap root draws its substance largely from the subsol. It stands the frost well and may be sown early. Adobe lands, with plenty of rain, requires fifty pounds of seed to the acre; alluvial soils, about thirty-five pounds. In a dry season, always sow light. HARVESTING. Reaper is preferable to the Header. Threshing is very difficult after the stock has got into sweat. THE YIELD On upland is from 600 to 1,000 pounds, and on adobe, from 1,200 to 2,400 pounds to the acre. Flax never suffers from rust, blight or insect. Its further advantages over grain are in the harvesting and threshing, as it requires less help, and not so many racks; freight is proportionately less, and it brings a much greater, quicker, and a certain price. James H. Jacobs, Esq., of Santa Barbara, whose land is mean, near the coast, and compactes after rains, sowed the latter part of January; yield, about 1,500 pounds to the acre. He says one irrigation in the Spring will secure a heavy crop. Mr. J. H. Fleckinger, of San Jose writes: Immediately after the first grass and weeds have been well sprouted, plow well, harrow and cross-harrow to pulverize thoroughly. In two or three weeks after the weeds have well started, harrow twice, so as to kill all foul growths. Sow immediately 35 to 40 pounds of none but clean seed to the acre. Harrow once after sowing, and if the soil be alluvial follow with the roller. SOWING. The best time is from December 1st to Jan. 15. It may be sown early, like barley. Its chief growth should be from the fifth of January to the lst of April, before hot weather begins. The Pacific Rural Press says: Any soil that will grow corn, wheat, oats or barley will suit this crop. An alluvial, sandy soil is best. It develops the deeper resources of the soil, like alfalfa, the grape vine, &c., by sending a long tap root down deep below the climate is unexcelled, and the land can be reached in a few months drive through Arizona. As some of your readers are no doubt aware, there have been several thousand head of sheep driven to this country from California during the present year; one flock of 10,000 head with a loss of only 350 head. Others from some cause were not so successful, but all who have been over the route with sheep claim that they could come... The law of New York State, making provisions for the planting of shade trees along the highway, is as follows: Any inhabitant liable to highway tax who shall transplant by the side of the highway any forest shade-trees of suitable size, shall be allowed by the overseers of highways, in abatement of his highway tax, one dollar for every four trees set out; but no row of elms shall be placed nearer than seventy feet, no row of maples, or other forest trees, nearer than fifty feet, except locust, which may be set thirty feet apart, and no allowance as before mentioned shall be made unless such trees shall have been set out the year previous to the demand for said abatement of tax, and are living and well protected from animals at the time of such demand. Such legislation might well be copied in other portions of the country. John Bright, formerly the advocate of peace at any price, has become an advocate of war at any price. At Birmingham he recently expressed himself in the following belligerent style: "Why, 700 years ago the people of this country with one of their heroic Kings, joined the Crusaders, and went to Palestine for the purpose of liberating holy places from the possession of Infidels and Mohammedans. What do we now do? We give the blood and treasure of England to the support of the Turkish Government. We give Bethlehem and Calvary and the Mount of Olives, through the blood and treasure of England, and the power over all these vast countries, which are almost a wilderness under the Turkish sceptre, we do all this simply to prevent Russia passing any war ships from the Black Sea to the original and duplicate assessment rolls, and we presume there is no evidence of the amount of taxes paid, and the Collector's statement will have to be taken. Whether true or not, there is no mode of going behind the testimony of interested persons. The greater part of the taxes have doubtless been paid, but the delinquents are secure, and the most of them will never pay; so the State will lose many thousands of dollars. The Code should require the county to provide a fire-proof vault in which its assessment rolls should be kept every night, at least until the delinquent property has been sold. If the Tax Collector of Monterey county cannot prove that the fire did not start by his fault, a heavy responsibility will rest upon him. The best time is from December 1st to Jan. 15. It may be sown early, like barley. Its chief growth should be from the fifth of January to the 1st of April, before hot weather begins. The Pacific Rural Press says: Any soil that will grow corn, wheat, oats or barley will suit this crop. An alluvial, sandy soil is best. It develops the deeper resources of the soil, like alfalfa, the grape vine, &c., by sending a long tap-root down deep below the reach of ordinary crops. It is safe to reckon on an average yield of 1,000 pounds to the acre. Flaxseed grown in the more southern parts of the State, it is supposed, will be superior to that of northern growth, as all oil-bearing grains increase in richness nearer the tropics. More About Flax Seed Culture. We are assured by competent judges that Los Angeles county is well adapted to this industry. If so, would it not be well for farmers to experiment with a view of putting in flax intelligently another year? Many may say, simply from a dislike to attempting new things, that it will not grow here. We remember when it was said that barley could not be grown, nor bacon cured in Los Angeles county; and we can recall the time too, when it was supposed that making hay, vegetable culture, &c., in California, except in a very few exceptional spots, was not profitable. An acre is sufficient for an experiment. One farmer suggests that he intends to experiment so as to decide for his land, several questions. For instance, he will sow one acre by the middle of January next. The soil being alluvial, he will roll one-half of the piece, and will also in the spring, irrigate one-half of that which is, and one half of that which is not rolled. This gentleman, who is not celebrated for running mad after new ideas, estimates that flax seed at 3 cents a pound will nett about $20.00 more per acre than barley at one cent a pound, and twenty-five bushels to the acre. Besides, there will be less losses on the flax and less cash outlay, saying nothing of the advantages of a quick market, and knowing just what one is going to get before the seed is sown. Choice flax is 34 cents per pound. It can be obtained from the Pacific Oil and Lead Works, 202 California street, San Francisco. An Indian Massacre. Says the Cheyenne Sun: Through the courtesy of Judge Stillman, of Great River City, we have been placed in possession of the following terrible facts concerning an expedition of 26 miners, who recently went into the Big Horn country. The news came by way of Lander City, Wind River Valley, and the authority, Mr. John Sheron, a gentleman whom we know to be perfectly reliable. He says that several weeks ago, as near as can be judged, a company of white men were attacked by a band of Sioux,supreme officer for stockmen to be crowded out by farmers when they can sell their lands for a big price and find an abundance of better range of land cheap. The climate is unexcelled,and the land can be reached in a few months drive through Arizona. As some of your readers are no doubt aware, there have been several thousand head of sheep driven to this country from California during this present year,一只 flock of 10,000 head with a loss of only 350 head. Others from some cause were not so successful,但 all who have been over the route with sheep claim that they could come again without any loss more than will naturally occur even on the range. It would be well for stockmen of California to see this portion of New Mexico. J. N. Furlong. LAS VEGAS,(N.M.),Dec. 20,1876. A Model Factory Village. St. Louis Times: John G. Richardson,the great manufacturer of linens,s seems to have successfully solved the problem of giving employment to a colony of 4,000 persons，while at the same time greatly benefiting them by surrounding them with every incentive to temperance and moral restraint.Mr. Richardson is the owner of 8,000 acres of land at Bessbrook，Ireland，on which are quarries of blue granite and farms that are successfully worked,and in the midst of which is the village of Bessbrook，with the great mill，offices and warehouses of the Bessbrook Spinnning Company.The village is laid out with streets that are lined with little cottages for workmen，with larger houses for the mill officials,and there is also a beautiful villa occupied by the owner of the vast estate.Every cottage has a doorway decorated with beautiful flowers,and the property includes a public square to add to its attractiveness.There are shops of different kinds for sale of different articles required to meet the wants of the village,but the sale of beer and ardent spirits is forbidden,and there is not a police officer,a police judge or a police station in the village,nor a pawn shop. The different denominations，of which there are five (including the Cabbles),all live together in harmony,and four churches stand in close proximity upon a hill that looks out upon a beautiful landscape with its green fields and undulating surface.as far as the distant Newry mountains.The streets of the village are kept scrumpously clean,and the whole aspect of the place is one of extreme neatness.Mr. Richardson is a prominent member of the Society of Friends,and is now on a visit to America. An Equal Division. "It's Christmas/to-morrow," said Captain Jack Miller to his steward,"and you may put some plums in the cabin duff,bout don't use many,and put 'em all in one end.I can't afford to give the mate plum-duff." "Plums in the duff-to-day.stoward?" said the mate next morning. "Yes,sir," sailed the steward,"but you won't get none; they're all goin' in the old man's end." We are grieved to see, says a New York paper, that some of the temperance brethren who manage the Sunday campaigns against alcohol in Steinway Hall have got so far as to make accusations against each other, not of drunkenness, but of the still more prevalent crime of stealing. It appears that the functionaries who pass around the hat at the meetings make their way to the platform through a room where they are not seen by anybody, and, in doing so, seize the larger bills and coins, put them in their pockets, and then, with a bland smile, show themselves to the audience. This, at all events, was the charge publicly made yesterday by Mr. J. B. Gibbs, President of the American Temperance Union. Several instances have lately been noted of mistaken identifications of bodies, and the subsequent return of the supposed dead men. Martin Monohan's case is exceptionally odd. He disappeared from Louisville, and a few days afterward the remains of a murdered man were identified and buried as his. His love affairs were overhauled by the police, and a theory as to why he had been killed was worked out. Recently he returned alive, and was so elated at finding that he had not been murdered, that he went on a spree and nearly killed himself with whisky. An Indian Massaore. Says the Cheyenne Sun: Through the courtesy of Judge Stillman, of Great River City, we have been placed in possession of the following terrible facts concerning an expedition of 26 miners, who recently went into the Big Horn country. The news came by way of Lander City, Wind River Valley, and the authority, Mr. John Sheron, a gentleman whom we know to be perfectly reliable. He says that several weeks ago, as near as can be judged, a company of white men were attacked by a band of Sioux, supposed by their tracks to have been a very large body. It is believed that on the first volley the miners fled to the brush, which the Indians then fired and killed their victims. The bodies of 18 or 20 men have been found and identified, and among them were Robert Anderson, James Lesigh, David Davis, and two men named Spencer and Cook, the latter a blacksmith. These men are well known in the Black Hills and in Montana. Whether there were any who survived the onslaught, our informant does not state, but we are left to infer that some escaped. An Indianian went into a Chicago saloon and asked for "a gin cocktail with some strength into it." The barkeeper made a mixture of alcohol, pepper sauce, absinthe, limes, and painkiller. "The Indianian drank it," says the Chicago Tribune, "and about a quart of tears came to his eyes, his mouth contracted to about the size of a safe key hole, and when he had sufficiently mastered his emotion to speak, he said, 'How much's that?' Fifteen cents,' responded the barkeeper. The customer put down a quarter and said, 'Keep the change—have something yourself;' then, wringing the barkeeper's hand, he added, 'That's the first good gin I've tasted since I left home—something like liquor; it's sort of quick in taking a hold, and slow in letting go. Come and see me, and I'll give you some corn whiskey that's better still—whiskey that's like swallowing a circular saw whole and pulling it up again.' The barkeeper, an hour later, asked the patrolman if he had heard of an old man being found dead on the sidewalk, and when the officer said no, he danced a few jig steps, and cried, 'Hurrah! he's gone somewhere to die.'" An Equal Division. "It's Christmas to-morrow," said Captain Jack Miller to his steward, "and you may put some plums in the cabin duff, but don't use many, and put'em all in one end. I can't afford to give the mate plum-duff." "Plums in the duff-to-day, stoward?" said the mate next morning. "Yes, sir," said the steward, "but you won't get none; they're all goin' in the old man's end." That day, when the duff came on the table, just as the captain was going to help the mate to duff, that officer quietly turned the dish, remarking as he did so, "That's a curious old ware," Captain Miller. "Yes," said the captain, as he restored the dish to its former position, "I've had that plate for a long time." "May I ask," said the mate, once more turning the dish, "where you got that plate?" "I think if I recollect right," said the captain, as the put the blank end of the pudding towards the mate, "that I got it somewhere up the straits." "I thought," the mate observed, as he slew the plum end towards him, that it was not made in England." "That'll do, Mr. Jones," said the captain; "that'll do; let the dish alone and I'll cut the duff fore and aft." S. F. Call: Thomas Gagliardi, the well-known sculptor, has just completed the model for a semi-colossal bronze statue of the late President Juarez, of Mexico. This statue, when completed, will be the first casting of its kind ever made in San Francisco. It was ordered by General Don Francisco Arce, Governor of Sinaloa, as the representative of a number of Mexican gentlemen who desire to erect a monument to Juarez in the Plaza at Mazatlan. The only marmalade factory in this country is at Jacksonville, Fla. This establishment works up about three thousand oranges and ten barrels of sugar per day, and turns out some fifteen thousand pounds of marmalade every week, but is capable of increasing the amount to five tons or more. The proprietors own an orangery of 3,000,000 trees. BY TELEGRAPH SALINAS, Cal., Jan. 8. About half-past 10 o'clock last evening, the county court house, situated on the west side of Main street, in this town, was discovered to be on fire. The alarm was immediately given and the fire department promptly on hand, but such headway had been gained that any attempt to save the building would have been useless, and to confine the fire to that particular locality was the chief thought of the department, and to prevent its setting fire to several large, two-story buildings in the immediate vicinity. A general conflagration was at one time imminent, but the night being comparatively calm, the danger was averted. The fire originated in the office of the Tax Collector, in which room was the original and duplicate assessment rolls, both of which were destroyed. The books and papers of the other offices were saved. The safe of the County Treasurer was removed to the street and guarded until this morning, when a temporary office was rented and the safe and books removed thereto. The other offices of the county were located in different places, wherever good and favorable offices could be temporarily obtained. SACRAMENTO, Jan. 6. The Secretary of State sent to Governor Irwin a statement setting forth that 78,529 people cast votes for Kentfield for Controller, and that only 75-567 voted for Brown, but declined to certify that any election had resulted, and it is well understood that the Governor will not issue a commission, thus compelling Mr. Kentfield to look for aid and comfort from the Courts. NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 5. Before the Senate Committee, this afternoon, Amadea Delambro testified, in broken English, to the organization of bull-dosers in East Feliciana for the prevention of hog-tealing. During his cross-examination, witness became greatly excited, and spoke of "your gang stealing the votes," and of "your scallawags," but immediately apologized. At the demand of the Chairman for a peremptory answer to questions, the witness jumped up and asked the Chairman if he wanted to flight. NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 9. J. A. Van Valkenburg and G. W. West are on trial for complicity to defraud the Pennsylvania Railroad. These two men were acting as ferry-master and collector of tickets at the Jersey City ferry. It is charged that the collector would hold back a certain number of tickets taken up, and the ferrymaster would release them. The frauds by three-cent ticket alone reached $65,000 per year. NEW YORK, Jan. 9. At the Union Club morning it was ascertained definitely that a deal between Bennett and May had actually taken place in the State of Delaware, near a village called Shaughfer Hume. May was slightly wounded, and Shaughfer was entirely uninjured. The fund was settled after the firing of the first shot, and it is understood that the whole party are coming back to New York. The Mail's Washington special may it is understood that Col. Jas. R. Osman, the Washington correspondent of the New York Herald... is about to challenge Wm. S. Murrayhg, the proprietor of the Washington Republican, to fight a duel. The offense consists of a charge in the Republic that the gamblers had bought up the Washington bureau of the Herald.

At the demand of the Chairman for a peremptory answer to questions, the witness jumped up and asked the Chairman if he wanted to fight. NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 9. The members of the White League, which has been mustered in by the Nicholls Government as militia, are assembling with arms at Lafayette Square, with the avowed purpose of maintaining the Supreme Court abolished by the Kellogg Government. 0:50 A.M.—The streets are full of armed men, hurrying to Lafayette Square, where the scene presents all phases of an army on the eve of battle. Armed men are reporting to the sheriff, who proposes to take possession of the Supreme Court room, now in charge of the metropolitan police and install Nicholls and the newly-appointed Judges of the Supreme Court. An attempt will probably be made to capture the police stations also. An advertisement appears this morning, ordering the members of the Washington Artillery to assemble at their armory at ten o'clock. 12 o'clock P.M.—Excitement increased with every new movement, and the situation is exceedingly critical. It is just reported that the first and third police stations have surrendered to the Democrats. At 11:50 the Nicholls militia took possession of the Supreme Court building and installed their judges. All the police stations are in possession of the Nicholls Government. Not a gun fired. WASHINGTON, Jan. 9. The sub-committee on the subject of the Texas-Pacific Railroad submitted a report to the full House Committee on Pacific Railroads this morning, recommending the adoption of the so-called compromise bill which provides that the Texas Pacific Company shall construct the line to a point 100 miles west of El Paso by the surveyor's route, and that the Southern Pacific Railroad Company of California, shall be allowed to build the remainder of the transcontinental line to San Diego; equal privileges and assistance to be granted by the Government to both companies. The Provision as to the western end of the line requires it to be located from a point 30 miles west of San Gorgonio pass to San Diego, by the most direct and feasible route. The full committee discussed the bill in extension and adjourned until to-morrow, when it will come up for further consideration. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 10. FLOUR—Extra jobbing at $675@7:25 for silver.

It is reported now that Frederick May was wounded in the thigh in the duck with Bennett. The injury was severe that it is feared fatal results may ensue. COLUMNUS, January 12. Hon. Wm. A. Wheeler is in the city. He visited both Houses in assembly this morning in company with Governor Hayes. He was first formally introduced from the Chair, and then personally introduced to the members at recess. NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 11. No change in the situation this morning. The order of General Auger, forbidting aggressive movements by either party, will doubtless prevent a collision. All eyes are on Washington, watching events there. Governor Packard has commissioned A.S. Badgar; Major General of the Louisiana State National Guard, and has ordered him to organize the First Division to-day. It is reported that Capt. McGlinn's company of the Nicholls militia has taken possession of the office of Recorder of Mortigues and Register of Conveyances. It is doubtful whether an election for Senator will take place today, even if a quorum of the Joint Assembly can be had, which is doubtful. It is understood to be the policy of some members to prevent an election until the solution of the present difficulties in regard to the State government are settled. It is generally conceded that the question turns at present upon which of the Supreme Courts is the legal one, and on this subject the authorities at Washington are being fully informed by both sides. NEW YORK, January 8. The Tribune's Washington special says: The President says he has heard some talk, which he supposes has the same inspiration with to-day's meetings, of inaugurating Tilden President, even if he should not be declared constitutionally elected. He saves an inauguration elsewhere than at Washington would be without effect. The President said the exercise of Executive functions elsewhere than at Washington would be strictly unconstitutional and without force. In this connection the President referred to the resolution of the House last session, in which inquiry was made as to the official acts performed by him, and their nature, at places other than the seat of Government.

Thirty-seven cases were reported last week and ten this week up to last night. The majority of these have been among Italians and Mexicans not protected by vaccination. Some of the cases are recent arrivals in this city, and this, in connection with the fact that some infants have been attacked by the disease without having been exposed to it, seems to indicate that the germs of the scourge are still lingering in the atmosphere. But few Chinamen have been attacked lately, although one was found dead in Aleck alley on Monday. Diphtheria is still raging, especially in that part of the city south of Market street. WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. The President has recognized J. E. Hollenbeck as consul of Nicaragua at San Francisco. Extracts from the proceedings of the House New Orleans Investigating Committee in the case of the Louisiana Returning Board, were submitted, and the matter referred to the Judiciary Committee. NEW YORK, Jan. 10. The Tribune's Washington correspondent argues elaborately to show that the recent rapid rise in silver is temporary, and that it will fall again within a few months, but not to the recent panic prices. Chills and fever prevail at Bakerfield. Peter Cooper polled 71,250 votes in all. J. W. D. Wright, the Granger representative, is back from Europe. A Parisian has invented a method of sending photographs by telegraph. At Brussels there is a society of cremationists, with four hundred members. Southern farmers are waking up to the idea that the Southern States are well adapted to the raising of grain. Congressman Piper, of California, says the New York Herald, has many jewels in his pocket, but, unlike Shakespeare's game, has none in his head. The medical journals report the discovery by an Italian doctor of a cure for diphtheria. It consists of the legal use of chloral and glycerine and the administration of chlorate of potash.
