WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...FEBRUARY 17, 1877. At the Telegraphers' Ball, held in Chicago on the night of the 12th inst., music was transmitted over the wires by means of Elisha Grey's telephone, from Milwaukee, with great success. The wires were run into several newspaper offices, and caused great delight to those to whom it was a novelty and wonder. The Guadalupe Telegraph of Feb. 3d, says: We understand that the little town of La Graciosa is soon to be effaced from the map of our county. H. Newhall has had the land on which it stands confirmed to him, and has served suits of execution on all inhabitants, besides claiming some $40,000 damages. We believe a large number of the vanishing town intend to locate in Guadalupe, and the balance will probably seek homes elsewhere in the county. It will be interesting to School Trustees to know that the levy of a certain school tax has been declared void by the Supreme Court of our State, because the notice for the election at which the tax was authorized by the voters of the district said the polls would be open from 1 P.M. to 6, and they were open between those hours and not longer; whereas the general law applying to all elections says the polls must be open from an hour after sunrise to sunset. The ubiquitous Chinaman threatens to invade that little island across the water, as will be seen from the following dispatch dated London, February 11th: "There is a rumor from the coal regions which is calculated to alarm English miners. It is to effect that the proprietors of the mines have resolved to import cheap labor from China, and have already consulted the Chinese Ambassador on the subject. That official replied that he would undertake the management of the immigration, provided the immigrants were protected from insult and injury. SMALL - POX. How to Escape the Disease—Some Valuable Hints. Although not generally admitted as yet by sequestric men, or bodies, it is nevertheless believed true by many, that variola or small pox is a disease similar to Psora, or itch, differing only in its form and intensity, by the difference of the malignity of the sarcopus which is the author of both diseases. Analogy, the truest leader in all diseases, discloses to the investigating mind that the apparition of symptoms similar to others now known must have a similar cause; thus: Suppose a (valgarly called) white spider bit a person; its effects are barely noticed, but if the same person be bitten by a black spider, inflammation supervenes, and if not attended promptly may cause great suffering. The tarantula, which by its form and aspect may be classed in the same genus, causes death by its bite. The bite of the small mosquito causes an itching and a small eruption, which disappears in a very short time; but the bite of the large swamp mosquito causes a large and painful eruption, lasting for several hours. The sarcopus of the Psora (itch) introducing itself under the skin, it furrows it until it reaches the lymphatic circulation, which it impregnates with a poison, and in a few days provokes the eruption. Although not particularly dangerous, it causes a very unpleasant inflammatory itching, which may last for a long time if improperly treated. The difference of the intense malignity of insects and sarcopus being recognized, what do we find in small pox? There is an incubation of several days, within which the patient feels headache, pains, chills and some fever; and from the sixth to the seventh day — sometimes sooner—the eruption commences, and it is not until the poison of the sarcopus has reached the circulation of the blood that the disease becomes virulent. Is it not here a cutaneous eruption at first similar to the others? And is not its difference of intensity due to the intense malignity of the sarcopus? And how does vaccination operate as a preventive? Vaccination has the effect of impregnating the skin and lymph with a virus, which seems to be a poison to the insect.

The ubiquitous Chinaman threatens to invade that little isle across the water, as will be seen from the following dispatch dated London, February 11th: "There is a rumor from the coal regions which is calculated to alarm English miners. It is to effect that the proprietors of the mines have resolved to import cheap labor from China, and have already consulted the Chinese Ambassador on the subject. That official replied that he would undertake the management of the immigration, provided the immigrants were protected from insult and injury. Mr. Frederick Hinkel, a naturalized Prussian, now Consul of the German Empire at New York, petitions Congress to the effect that he has been for several years in the employ of the Prussian Government, and expects to continue therein during the remainder of his life, and the Congress of the United States having expressly sustained the right of expatriation, by the Act of July 27th, 1868, he respectfully prays that his naturalization as a citizen of the United States be abrogated and he be absolved from his allegiance as a citizen. The petition is before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations for consideration. Some years ago a crack-brained boy named O'Connor presented a harmless old pistol at Queen Victoria as she was leaving Buckingham Palace. He was imprisoned a few months and then sent out to one of the colonies where employment was found for him. Lately he announced his intention to return to England, and his departure was telegraphed to Scotland Yard, London. When O'Connor landed, two detectives were appointed to watch his movements day and night. They lost sight of him one morning, and were ordered to hurry to Buckingham Palace, where, sure enough, O'Connor was found within the gates. How he got in is as great a mystery as the first time. The young man is now safely lodged in a lunatic asylum. The Republican, of Wednesday, says: The total amount of the County assessment this year was about $274,000, of which amount the Assessor collected about $7,000, and already Mr. Kreamer, the County Tax Collector, has paid into the County Treasurer's office over $235,000, thus leaving only about $32,000 of taxes advertised as delinquent. This amount will be further reduced before the day of sale and the amount received by the sale will bring the total delinquency down to about $4,000. This is far better than the report of last year, in which over $30,000 was not paid. Besides this amount of taxes paid, there was a city tax of about $100,000 levied, most all of which has been collected. This is as good a showing and is as fine an advertisement as any County could desire. In every country there are always some people who will complain that they can not find anything to do at which they can make patient feels head-ache, pains, chills and some fever; and from the sixth to the seventh day—sometimes sooner—the eruption commences, and it is not until the poison of the sarcopeus has reached the circulation of the blood that the disease becomes virulent. Is it not here a cutaneous eruption at first similar to the others? And is not its difference of intensity due to the intense malignity of the sarcopeus! And how does vaccination operate as a preventive? Vaccination has the effect of impregnating the skin and lymph with a virus, which seems to be a poison to the insect. It took forty-nine years from the time of the discovery of vaccination in France and England before its adoption by the scientific bodies; and it took many years of long labor before the cause of the dreadful cholera was known. This, too, was believed to be infections until 1840. As to the infection of small-pox:—If it was, as it is stated, so pestilentially infectious, where would be all the doctors and nurses in the pest hospitals? And how many of them can be proven to have died of the disease? To my knowledge, but one Sister of Charity in San Francisco; and what is it that saves the others? Is it vaccination? It was admitted by the Board of Health of San Francisco in 1868, that many persons had died of variola confluent, after being duly vaccinated. Therefore plain reasoning shows that there is something more to be done as preventive, and it is those means which ought to have been made known to the people instead of the wholesale vaccination in time of epidemy. This conclusion is not a hasty one, for reference has been had to nearly all the works written on the subject since the year 570. First, by Bishop Marius, who cites the first appearance of the disease in France. Second, the Arabian Doctor, Aharoun, in 622; and from that time to 1713, when the Circassians, Georgians, and Armenians made known and introduced, for the first time, the vaccination in Turkey; then to the Letters of Lady Worthley Montague, in 1715, who witnessed the operation and its effects in Adrianople; theft in 1719, when she practiced the vaccination in England, under the sanction and protection of Dr. Mead; then to the works of Voltaire, 1749-1750, when he vaccinated in Switzerland under the wing of Tronchin, of Geneva; then to the archives of the French Parliament, who authorized the vaccination in France in 1764; then to the works entitled "Santeya Grantham," from India; then to Rabaut Pommier, 1781; then to Jenner, 1788; and up to 1840, when Raspail,the great physician and Chemist,of France,c discovered that a bath composed of salt water and ammonia was a sure antidote if resorted to at first symptoms,and immediately after the bath to have the body thoroughly annointed with strong camphor oil. He says: "When the person feels those alternate cold chills, flushes of heat, headache, extreme lassitude,pains in the limbs and back,supur and fever; let the patient,iadult,take a bath of salt water; warm;15 to 20 minutes;to which must be added 8 ounces of strong agnamonia;afterthe bath rub-the whole body with strong camphor oil or pomade;continue these rubbings three or four times a day during four or five days,and under all circumstances to retain and use the same clothes;coverthe facewitha linen mask kept well greased with camphor oil or pomade;keepthe hands in glovesandthe feet in stockings,t厚彻地greased with oil or pomade.Purgethe body with aloes and Rhubarb;drink freelyof warm Borage tea Once a day before usingthe oilasbefore directed rubthebodywithstrongcamphorated The ubiquitous Chinaman threatens to invade that little isle across the water, as will be seen from the following dispatch dated London,February 11th: "There is a rumor fromthe coal regionswhichiscalculatedto alarmEnglishminers.ItistoeffectthattheproprietorsofthemineshaveresolvedtoimportcheaplaborfromChina,andhavealreadyconsultedtheChineseAmbassadoronthesubject.Theofficialrepliedthathewouldundertheremainderofhislife,andtheCongressoftheUnitedStateshavemissexpresslysustainedtherightofexpatriation,bylestofJuly27th,1868,hereisfecallypraysthathisnaturalizationasacitizenoftheUnitedStatesbeabrogatedandhebeabsolvedfromhisallegianceasacitizen.ThepetitionisbeforetheSenateCommitteeonForeignRelationsforconsideration."

In every country there are always some people who will complain that they can not find anything to do at which they can make a living, says the Santa Barbara Index. And we regret to say that California is no exception. For the encouragement of this class of people who, perhaps, are really sincere, when they give utterance to this expression, and would actually be willing to engage in any business, however small, we will mention the following facts. The Russian River Flag relates that J. E. B. Young, of Healdsburg, last year, from a five year old cow, fed on bran and slops and pastured outside, marketed over three hundred pounds of butter. He experimented in chicken raising, and the result was: The hens paid him $6.56 each, for the year. One hen he kept close account of, and the past season's footings showed three broods of chickens, worth $7.50; two lots of eggs, $4.75. He says that two dollars of the sum would buy two hundred pounds of corn, which would keep the hen a year. He therefore claims eight dollars net gain from that hen. Now, comments on the above are unnecessary. Who will say that a man with only a little means, could not enter upon the dairy business in a small way, or that of poultry raising and make a good living in California. Neither is it necessary to multiply instances to prove that a man can support himself and family in California by engaging in what some would call a small business. In regard to the profits to be made on eggs alone, we need only to say, it is estimated that since the first of July last at least 300,000 dozen eggs have been imported to this State from the East. It is fair to suppose that these eggs sold at a reasonable profit after having been brought some 3,000 miles by rail. There is no doubt but a hundred and fifty hens will lay a living for a family of ordinary size, if they will only take the trouble to gather up the eggs and sell them. What I have used as preventive while visiting small-pox patients is as follows: Morning and night ablation or sponging of the whole body, first with the ammonia water above described for children, for four or five minutes. Then anointing the body with the camphorated oil, and last, a rubbing with cologne water, bay-rum, or camphorated alcohol may be used, or Florida-water; shampoo the head with the same ammonia-water, then take your two grains of camphor, and if you have not Boarge tea, sugared water will do; for common drink cream of tartar, or lemonade. Then, going in a house where small-pox was, I always carried with me a vial of either saturated spirits camphor, sometimes liquor (Labarraque), and sometimes carbolic acid largely diluted; and as soon as I leave the room, rub my hands, face, neck, &c. Every three or four days take a dose of compound aloe pills, to keep the stomach in a healthy state. In my house the drug store was sufficient antiseptic, but would recommend to others to have a bottle of Bromo-chloralum and to mix one ounce in twenty ounces of cold water, to wet towels or sponges, and suspend them in three or four places in the house. Good nourishment is essential to keep the body in its full power. The smoke of tobacco is also a good antiseptic. The physiology of this treatment is simple. The disease being cutaneous, on its first appearance, the treatment should be directed to the destruction of the cause or author of the disease before its poisonous venom has time to infiltrate itself into the circulation. No effect can remain when the cause is once removed—"Sublata causa tolitur effectus." Dr. V. D'Assonville HONEY. Some Valuable Information for Apiarists. The San Diego Union gives a lengthy account of a meeting of the San Diego Bee-Keepers' Association. There are many things in the article which we think will prove acceptable reading, and we will quote liberally. K. W. Morse, the President of the Association, in his report says: "One of the objects of this Association being to extend our market for honey and beeswax, I have corresponded somewhat extensively to that end, and I am satisfied that the little strip of country (small indied compared with the whole of the United States) situated in Southern California, though yielding the very finest honey in abundance, cannot overstock the markets of the world with these articles. I find that comb honey has been successfully and profitably shipped from New York to Scotland. We all know there is no difficulty in shipping strained honey, and if comb honey can be shipped the European market is certainly large enough to take all our surplus of both kinds. In correspondence with parties in Mexico and Central America, I was told that those countries produced enough honey for their own consumption, but imported considerable quantities of beeswax, and this singular fact was shown: that the merchants residing on the Pacific coast of those countries purchased beeswax in St. Louis, shipped it by rail to San Francisco, and then by steamer to destination, which shows the circuitous routes the currents of trade will sometimes take. My correspondent informed me that they paid in St. Louis 50 cents per pound; and yet perhaps the same identical pound of wax could have been purchased in San Diego for less than 30 cents, saving the cost of a 3000-mile trip to St. Louis and back. These things, in time, will regulate themselves, and the advantage of an organization is, that we can greatly hasten the time to our own advantage." The Board of Directors in their report say that during the past six months they have received, stored and graded as follows: Cases of comb honey... 1123; Cases extracted... 13 BY TELEGRAPH. Tragedy at San Quentin. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 13. A horrible tragedy occurred yesterday at San Quentin. John Whitmore, a convict from San Francisco, under life sentence, was in the employ of Ellis & Co., in their tailor shop. He had been a good prisoner and nothing unusual was noticed in his manner by the officers or his fellow-prisoners. Just as the whistle blew for dinner yesterday, and the convicts were forming in line preparing to leave the shop, Whitmore suddenly seized a heavy smoothing-iron, used for pressing clothing, and dealt Henry Diedrick, alias Varney, a fellow prisoner, a powerful blow on the forehead, knocking Varney down, and badly fracturing the skull. He then threw the iron at him, striking him again in the back of the head, inflicting another dangerous wound. Whitmore then turned, ran across the room and before interference could prevent, drew a small knife and cut a gash in his own throat, extending almost from ear to ear. He fell to the floor and died almost instantly, the jungular vein and the windpipe both being severed, and the neck well nigh disjointed, with such force had the knife been driven. As Varney and Whitmore were the best of friends, a sudden freak of insanity is supposed to have been the cause of the deed. Varney is in a precarious condition, with the chances rather against his recovery. Congress in Joint Session. WASHINGTON, Feb. 13. After the Senate had been informed yesterday afternoon that the House was ready to meet body in joint session in the hall of the House, the Senators rose and proceeded there. The presiding officer said the joint meeting of Congress resumes its session. The two Houses have separately considered and determined the objections submitted by members of the House to the decision on the certificate from the State of Florida. The clerk of the Senate will now read the decision of the Senate. The decision of the Senate having been read by its clerk, Ferry said the two Houses not concurring in ordering otherwise, the decision of the Commission will stand unreversed and the counting will now certificate case of Laws of the various bull, Carpenter for the Dept.

SICILY was in early times notable for its extreme productiveness, and Italians hope that with all restrictions on the importation of corn removed, and under an energetic government, a good time is coming—more especially if the brigand nuisance can be suppressed. Of the island's 6,000,000 acres, 3,500,000 are under wheat, about 1,500,000 in pasture, 680,000 in vineyards, olive yards, orchards and gardens, and 170,000 in forest. The Board of Directors in their report say that during the past six months they have received, stored and graded as follows: Cases of comb honey... 1123 Cases extracted... 13 Harrels extracted... 21 They have shipped as follows: Cases of comb honey... 1058 Cases extracted... 13 Harrels extracted... 21 Total... 1092 Leaving in warehouse at date of Feb. 1st... 375 The distribution was as follows:—To Cincinnati, Ohio, one car load; to St. Louis, Mo, one car load; to St. Paul, Minn., one-half car load; to Boston, one-half car load. The report of Special Agent Charles J. Fox is an interesting and lengthy document, We make the following quotations: *** The first question regarding any article of commerce is how to produce it; the second, how to transport it, and the third is how to dispose of it profitably. As I said, the first is practically solved among us. The second question, that of transportation, has been only imperfectly solved and much yet remains to be done. Several difficulties stand in our way. One is, careless handling and too many reshipments; another, high rates of freight and irresponsibility of railroads and shipping agents. *** A good deal of difficulty is encountered in the way Central Pacific Railroad do their business. Though they understand thoroughly the very great damages certain to occur to a car load of honey by its being transferred from one car to another en route, they will not guarantee its through shipment, as they do with fruit. They will not afford any warehouse room, even for a night; the honey must be taken from the wharf the day it is unloaded; and must be loaded into a car standing on a side track as it is hauled. If they do not happen to have a car ready and belonging to the city where the honey is destined to go, the shipper must store it somewhere, and rehaul it; or run the risk of its being rained by transferring from one car to another. The rates of freight are exorbitantly high; a carload of wool for instance, being transported to New York for about one half the charge of a carload of honey. These difficulties should be met in some way, either by a more favorable arrangement with the railroad companies or by procuring warehouse facilities near the railroad or the steamship company's wharf. Possibly, if our association does a larger business in forwarding honey, we may obtain some more consideration. *** Having provided for getting our honey to market, the next and most important consideration is to sell it at a good price. This was not difficult when the amount produced was small, but now that it is so large at high prices to realize any reasonable price to the producers, it will probably always be the favorite as a fancy article for table use." Sicily was in early times notable for its extreme productiveness, and Italians hope that with all restrictions on the importation of corn removed, and under an energetic government, a good time is coming—more especially if the brigand nuisance can be suppressed. Of the island's 6,000,000 acres, 3,500,000 are under wheat, about 1,500,000 in pasture, 680,000 in vineyards, olive yards, orchards and garden, and 170,000 in forest. The rest lies waste or is built on. The net rental is estimated at $13,000,000. The church and nobility are the principal owners. The agricultural population consists of yeomen, small farmers and peasants. Of late the condition of the latter has been greatly improved by the abolition of the sort of serfdom under which they labored, and the rigid system of entail on large estates. It is only a few days ago since we gave currency to the rumor that the leaves of the eucalyptus tree had been found to be a substitute for tobacco, and now a correspondent of the Sacramento Record-Union has discovered another virtue in this most remarkable tree. Here is what he says: "The wood of this tree, and several of the pine species has of late been extensively used in European chemical laboratories for the preparation of the "Extract of Vanilla," and in recently experimenting in that direction on a small scale. I found that a decoction of the leaves makes a black, fair flowing ink, with sulphate of iron (Fe So4 plus H2O), also the chloride of iron (Fe2 C16), and what is strange, the sulphate of copper (Cu So5 plus H2O), the first, however, being the blackest. All that is necessary to try the experiment is to make a strong decoction of the leaves (and probably the bark will answer equally as well or better.) filter the same or let it settle, and mix it with an equal quantity (liquid) of sulphate of iron or green vitriol, and the ink is ready for use, apparently not bleaching or growing blacker in color. This process, or test, may not be valuable to ink makers or dyers, but it indicates that the decoction must possess a large quantity of tannic or gallic acid, which would make it very valuable for tanning and other purposes. I simply throw this out as a hint for further experiments, for "seek and ye shall find" may be applied to this case, and particularly by those who may be commercially more interested in further investigations of this plant than the writer. This communication is written from the ink made instantly for the occasion, without any other addition than that named. If the solution is made in a more concentrated state it can undoubtedly be made darker in shade. The ink flows as if sugar or gum arabiac had already been added, which, to a certain extent, may be the case as the concoction is of the consistency of thin syrup.

Jerry Black says that the Democrats have all the law and facts on their side, but the meet that body in joint session in the hall of the House, the Senators rose and proceeded there. The presiding officer said the joint meeting of Congress resumes its session. The two Houses have separately considered and determined the objections submitted by members of the House to the decision on the certificate from the State of Florida. The clerk of the Senate will now read the decision of the Senate. The decision of the Senate having been read by its clerk, Ferry said the two Houses not concurring in ordering otherwise, the decision of the Commission will stand unreversed and the counting will now proceed in conformity with the decisions of the Commission. The Tellers will announce the vote of Florida. Senator Allison thereupon announced that Florida had given four votes for R.B. Hayes, as President, and four votes for Wm. A.Wheeler, as Vice President. Ferry then opened the certificate from Georgia and showed it to the tellers. It was read by Representative Cook, of Georgia. The presiding officer asked whether there was any objection to the vote of Georgia. None being made, he announced that the vote would be counted and directed to member to declare it. Cook declared that the State of Georgia had given 11 votes for Samuel J. Tilden as President, and 11 votes for Thos. A. Hendricks, as Vice President. Next followed in succession the State of Illinois, with 21 votes for Hayes and Wheeler: Indiana, with 15 votes for Tilden and Hendricks; Iowa, with 11 votes for Hayes and Wheeler; Kansas, with 5 votes for Hayes and Wheeler; and Kentucky with 12 votes for Tilden and Hendricks. Then came the certificate from Louisiana showing eight votes for Hayes and Wheeler. The presiding officer stated that the certificate had been received by mail, and a corresponding one had been received by Messenger Thomas C. Anderson, of the Returning Board. This was authenticated by Kellogg as governor; he being himself one of the electors. The certificates having been read, the presiding officer handed to the Tellers another certificate from the same State, with a corresponding one received by mail, showing eight votes for Tilden and Hendricks. This was authenticated by McEnery as Governor of the State. Still a third certificate was opened and read, corresponding with the one having been received by mail with the votes for Hayes and Wheeler as authenticated by Desland, Secretary of State. The presiding officer opened and presented another certificate, received by mail, no corresponding one having been received by special messenger. The Tellers proceeded to read it; but it was obvious from the first sentence that it was a mere burlesque. It commenced by certifying that Jno Smith had been chosen elector from the 1st District; John Smith number 3 from the 2d; and John Smith number 3 from the 3d. When the reading had proceeded thus far Senator Sargent said it was obvious that the certificate was not a bonafide one. The presiding officer said it was his duty to submit all papers received by him, and he asked Having provided for getting our honey to market, the next and most important consideration is to sell it at a good price. This was not difficult when the amount produced was small, but now that it is so large and rapidly increasing it is very important to extend our markets, to put it for sale where it is not now known, and to procure, as customers, people who can appreciate a good and pure article. The honey trade has undergone such a transformation as occurred a few years ago with the trade in cheeses. These were traded to country dealers, and by them to wholesale dealers, but there was nosystem of uniformity. But now, great cheese factories make the article in immense quantities, of a uniform size and quality, and ship abroad as well as supply home markets. So it has been with the honey. A few years ago farmers kept a few bee hives. The honey, in all qualities and conditions, was sold or traded to the country dealers, and collected by wholesale dealers, without order or system. It is only very lately that men have engaged exclusively in producing honey in large quantities, probably no other one man in the world having raised in one year as much as Mr. Harbison, of our county, his crop the past year approximating 100 tons. It now becomes necessary to do as was done in the cheese trade: extend our markets. This year we are under great disadvantage in this respect. The financial distress prevailing all over the United States prevents many people from purchasing articles of luxury, and as such they regard honey, especially when after paying high freights and several intermediate profits, it reaches consumers at a price three times what the producers obtain. But another evil has attended our sales the past year. Through want-of co-operation, our producers have shipped in small quantities to persons all over the country who do not understand the trade. They have handled it carelessly, competed unnecessarily Levi Rosner, ex-Assessor of San Francisco, died at the Palace Hotel on the 9th inst. The Yolo Mail says that the prospects for a first-class crop in Yolo county are bright. Last year the English Life Boat Institution saved 498 lives, besides rescuing eighteen vessels.

A dispatch from Victoria says: The editor of the Colonist was hanged and burned in effigy in this city yesterday by a mob of boys and Indians, for refusing to advocate separation from Canada. The affair was very insignificant, and the Colonist pokes fun at the men who paid the actual perpetrators. Dr. W.H. James, at one time physician at the City and County Hospital of San Francisco, is reported to have been butchered, roasted and devoured by the cannibals of New Guinea. He was attached to an expedition which was making an effort to explore the island, and with a companion becoming separated from the main party, they were surrounded by the savages and fell victims. The Tucson Citizen denies the report that bands of sheep are dying in Arizona. It admits that here and there one sheep may refuse the most nutritious grama and other grasses, through disappointment in love, or dissatisfaction with the Electoral vote, or because neither Rennet nor May were killed in their late duel; but sheep are liable to such conduct in any country, and because of isolated cases of the kind, it is not fair to make a whole-cloth statement that stock are dying in Arizona. A dispatch from Washington says: The State Department has received a circular from the American Legation at Paris announcing that an International Sericultural Congress will be held at Paris in 1878., on the occasion of the projected Universal Exposition. A Committee for the organization of the Congress has been appointed, which will meet on the 20th of January at No. 44 Place St. Germain des Prix for the purpose of preparing a list of questions for discussion. All silk producers are invited to communicate the results of their observation and experience. It is requested that all communications be addressed to M. Gerner, Secretary Ecole Normale Superieure, Paris. The Commission. WASHINGTON, Feb. 13. The Electoral Commission was called to order yesterday at 4:30 p.m., and received another certificate, received by mail, no corresponding one having been received by special messenger. The Tellers proceeded to read it; but it was obvious from the first sentence that it was a mere lesquee. It commenced by certifying that Jno. Smith had been chosen elector from the 1st District; John Smith number 3 from the 21., and John Smith number 3 from the 3d. When the reading had proceeded thus far Senator Sargent said it was obvious that the certificate was not a bonafide one. The presiding officer said it was his duty to submit all papers received by him, and he asked whether the paper should be suppressed. Voices—No, read it. The reading proceeded to the great amusement of the audience. It followed the usual formalities, showing that John Smith had been chosen as Chairman, and John Smith No.1 and John Smith No.2 were appointed as tellers, and that the eight votes of the State had been cast for Peter Cooper, of New York, and Samuel L. Carey, of Ohio. Senator McDonald said here that the two Houses should not be compelled to listen to the reading. The presiding officer directed the address on the envelope to be read. It read, "To the Vice-President of the United States, Washington. Vote of the Electoral College of the State of Louisiana for President and Vice-President, 1876." He directed the Teller to proceed with the reading. After a few more sentences had been read, Hoar inquired whether the Chair held that it was not in order to dispense with further reading of the paper. The presiding officer said he had asked unanimous consent, but that action had been had. Hoar requested that any person objecting should rise in his place and do so. Mills, rising—As this is a burlesque, I object. The reading was then proceeded with to its close. Subsequently the presiding officer directed the paper to be omitted from the proceeding of the joint-convention. Senator McDonald submitted objections to the Hayes and Wheeler certificates.

Upon the arrival of the various counsel, Field, Campbell, Trumbull, Carpenter, Merrick, Hoadley and Green for the Democratic side of the question, and Evarts, Matthews, Shillabarger and Stoughton for the Republican side, the presiding Justice inquired who would represent the objectors. Field respond that Senator McDonald and Jenks of the House, to certificates No. 1 and 3; Evarts announced that Howe and Shillabarger would object to certificate No. 2. The Commission adjourned until 11 A.M. to-day. WASHINGTON, Feb. 13. At the meeting of the Electoral Commission to-day argument was begun by Senator McDonald, who supported the objections to the Hayes and Wheeler certificates from Louisiana. A Perilous Voyage Proposed. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 14. A man named John Roach, for many years employed as an officer of the Coasting and deep water craft out of this port, is engaged in obtaining means to build a boat with which he and two companions intend to go from here to Liverpool. She is to be twenty feet long, five feet beam, four feet depth of hold, and hermaphrodite brig-rigged. He is evidently in earnest in attempting the passage around Cape Horn in this diminutive craft, and is confident of making the trip in safety. Suicide. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 14. Abort six o'clock last evening a well-apparelled man entered a shooting gallery on Montgomery street, obtained a pistol ostensible for target practice, and instantly fired one shot in his ear, following that by another in his month. He was taken to the City Prison hospital, where he gave the name of Thomas Biggs, a native of Ireland. He had been a school teacher in this city in 1871-72 and 1873. He subsequently taught in Sonoma, Tehama and Sutter Counties, and last in San Gabriel, Los Angeles County, where, having some trouble, the nature of which he declined to divulge, he resigned and came here a short time ago. He tried in vain to procure employment, and become to Republicans in the north to this effect. Since his arrival in Washington, and until within the last month, Parman was bold in announcing Hayes' election, and in conversation with members boasted of his own labors in bringing about this result. It is said his speech to-day was prepared for him by a Department Clerk three weeks ago. He informed the Republican members of the House that the campaign had ruined him financially, and that he would be forced to do something to recover from his premature embarrassment. "The Democrats," said he, "say I have now the lines in Florida, and will manage to hold them." I cannot go back there unless something is done for me, and if these Republicans do not help me I must help myself." Other evidence of Purman's shameful conduct are not wanting. In his eagerness to obtain relief from his pecuniary embarrassment, he has been bartering his own vote and negotiating for the sale of votes of other members, with reference to the Texas-Pacific bill. It can be proved that Purman approached several members and informed them that the Texas-Pacific people were willing to spend money to pass their bill, and requested them to join him in a combination to exact their votes on that measure. He believed that in consideration of his speech, the Democrats will agree to place his name on the rolls of the Forty-fifth Congrega- as a member from Florida, thus giving him a prima facie right to the seat, which will carry with it about one year's pay and mileage, even should the contestant finally be awarded the seat. Purman has been afraid that he would not be put upon the roll, and it is beyond question that this speech was made to secure the object above mentioned. A Caravan Coming NEWHALL, Cal., Feb. 14. A caravan consisting of camels and dromedaries, numbering in all-40 head, passed here this morning from Nevada, en route to Fort Yuma via Los Angeles, to be used in the interior of Arizona for transporting freight. The Commission. WASHINGTON, Feb. 15. The Electoral Commission met at 10:15 this morning, and Evarts continued his argument on the Republican side. Montgomery street, obtained a pistol ostensible for target practice, and instantly fired one shot in his ear, following that by another in his month. He was taken to the City Prison hospital, where he gave the name of Thomas Biggs, a native of Ireland. He had been a school teacher in this city in 1871-72 and 1873. He subsequently taught in Sonoma, Tehama and Sutter Counties, and last in San Gabriel, Los Angeles County, where, having some trouble, the nature of which he declined to divulge, he resigned and came here a short time ago. He tried in vain to procure employment, and becoming discouraged, attempted his life. His wound will undoubtedly prove fatal. He was a widower with nine children. Storm on the Northern Coast. PORTLAND, Ogn., Feb. 14. A heavy storm visited Astoria yesterday afternoon. A sloop was capsized and the American ship Imperial, just loaded with grain for Europe, was driven a long distance, losing one anchor and several hundred feet of cable. It required the strenuous efforts of a powerful tug to prevent the ship from stranding or colliding with other vessels in the port. Good Work. CINCINNATI, O., Feb. 13. Governor Hayes presided to-night at the twelfth annual anniversary of the Children's Home in this city, and made a brief but earnest appeal to those present to subscribe to the fund of $50,000, needed to place the institution on a firm foundation, and made some practical and wise suggestions. About $25,000 was subscribed on the spot. Extracts from New York Papers. NEW YORK, Feb. 14. A Trenton firm has purchased Commodore Perry's flagship Lawrence, and intends to manufacture canes and other relics from the timber. Fred. May has arrived in town and appeared openly on the streets. No action has been taken on account of the duel. Senator and General Sherman called on Lerdo yesterday. To-day they will visit the fortifications in the harbor with the Secretary of War. The Tribune's Washington special says that Maddox was arrested six times during the war, by Stanton, and imprisoned in the Old Capitol building. A Lawyer's Advice. NEW YORK, Feb. 14. The Herald's Newport special says that William Beach Lawrence advises the Democrats on the Commission to resign, and gives reasons for believing the Commission unconstitutional. He admits that Tildon's chances at present look very blue, and is convinced that the Commission will decide Louisiana, perhaps Oregon, in addition to Florida, for Hayes. He thinks, however, Tilden has a good case in Oregon. The Situation in South Carolina. NEW YORK, Feb. 14. The Herald's Columbia, South Carolina, A Caravan Coming NEWHALL, Cal., Feb. 14. A caravan consisting of camels and dromedaries, numbering in all-40 head, passed here this morning from Nevada, en route to Fort Yuma via Los Angeles, to be used in the interior of Arizona for transporting freight. The Commission. WASHINGTON, Feb. 15. The Electoral Commission met at 10:15 this morning, and Evarts continued his argument on the Republican side. An Ill-advised Speech. NEW YORK, Feb. 15. The World's Washington special says that the Tribunal will barely decide this week. The session closed yesterday with the most serious blunder of the day for the Republican speakers. The legal argument with which Judge Shellabarger has been opposing the introduction of evidence close with a vehement partisan appeal, opening with an allusion to the narrow escape from war which followed the burning of the Carolina, and the loss of American lives. Since then the lives of American citizens had grown cheap, according to Shellabarger, and he adjured the Commission not to make them cheaper by failing to support the Returning Board and continuing the political regeneration which began with the election of Lincoln. Anything in worse taste or judgment than this extreme party speech could not be conceived. Evarts redressed and shifted uneasily in his chair; Morton toro a sheet of note paper into ships; Hoar twisted his paper cutter. The Democrates began to pay close and pleasant attention and several Democratic members of the Electoral Commission, who were of the Committee which framed the law under which the Commission is acting, have had conferences of an informal nature in order to compare notes and refresh their recollections as to the interpretation which was put on the bill while in the Commission regarding the matter of going behind the returns in the disputed States. They have very generally agreed that it was conceded by the Republican members of the Commission that the bill distinctly authorized an investigation of the facts of the returns. To what extent they might carry their interpretation of this feature or the law is a question to be decided in the future. Legislation for the Black Hills YANKTON, Feb. 15. A bill has passed both Houses of the Legislature, and will be approved by the Governor, creating a regular judiciary system for the Black Hills, to go into effect immediately upon the ratification by Congress of the agreement with the Sioux Indians ceding that country. The immigration thither is rapidly increasing, and the season's work will be heavy and expensive. Appointment of Receler. WASHINGTON, February 15. The President sent to the Senate to-day the following appointment: J. W. Haver- The Herald's Newport special says that William Beach Lawrence advises the Democrats on the Commission to resign, and gives reasons for believing the Commission unconstitutional. He admits that Tilden's chances at present look very blue, and is convinced that the Commission will decide Louisiana, perhaps Oregon, in addition to Florida, for Hayes. He thinks, however, Tilden has a good case in Oregon. The Situation in South Carolina. New York, Feb. 14. The Herald's Columbia, South Carolina, special says that Judge Mackey, who recently visited Hayes, is preparing the people for his inauguration by a series of addresses. The Judge believes that Hayes will be the pacificator of the South. General Kershaw endorses Mackey and adds: "Hampton will be declared Governor under the new regime." The following is the situation: These people will under no circumstances submit to the Chamberlain Government. If Hampdon is not recognized, they will demand and require a military government. If Chamberlain is forced upon them there will be riots and bloodshed, and such action will effectually crush the spirit of the whites [negroes] and forever after preclude the possibility of bringing them to the polls. Hampdon is organizing his militia, and recognition or no recognition from Washington, he is determined to hold or maintain himself Governor, peaceably if he can. A Sensation in Congress. WASHINGTON, Feb. 13. When the report of the Election Committee, declaring the Tilden Electors in Florida, Purman, Republican member from Florida, created a sensation by moving the adoption of the report. He knew the vote of the State and knew the election was peaceful and void of fraud and intimidation, and denounced the action of the Returning Board. Who Purman Is. WASHINGTON, Feb. 14. The Times' Washington special says: During the days of doubt and uncertainty immediately following the election, Purman remained steadfast in his faith that Hayes had carried Florida, and sent numerous tele- A bill has passed both Houses of the Legislature, and will be approved by the Governor, creating a regular judiciary system for the Black Hills, to go into effect immediately upon the ratification by Congress of the agreement with the Sioux Indians ceding that country. The immigration thither is rapidly increasing, and the season's work will be heavy and expensive. Appointment of Receiver. WASHINGTON, February 15. The President sent to the Senate to-day the following appointment: J. W. Haverstick, Receiver of Public moneys at Los Angeles. Speech by Booth. NEW YORK, Feb. 14. The Tribune's Washington special says; Booth was elected to his present position upon the anti-Railroad and anti-Monopoly platform. To-day, for the first time, he made his voice ring in the Senate in support of the principles which he has been supposed particularly to represent, and that voice was a very powerful one. The few speaches which Booth has made have always commanded the attention of the Senate. His effort to-day, notwithstanding the counter attraction of the arguments before the Electoral Commission, kept a majority of the Senators in their places, and was more significant for results than form. Wool Market. BOSTON, February 15. Wool remains the same, with a steady demand from the manufactures. The prices of desirable fleeces continue sustained. California in moderate request at various prices. Foreign News. London, Feb. 15. The Court of the Queen's Bench has granted a rule that the magistrates show cause why they should not try the Slade spiritualist case on its merits, holding that his conviction was not properly quashed. An English physician, with Mankhar Pasha's army in Trebingja, writes to the Stafford House charitable committee reporting that army in a dreadful state on account of insufficiency in hospital accommodations. Twenty or thirty soldiers are dying daily. Dysentery and typhoid fever have appeared, and are spreading rapidly.
