Potter's special Committee will meet to-morrow, with all its members present for the first time. The Democratic members of the Committee had a long conference yesterday in regard to the course to be taken in conducting the inquiry, and it is probable this will be determined tomorrow. It is clear from the statements made yesterday by James E. Anderson, Supervisor of Election in the parish of East Palebiana, Louisiana, that he will be ready to testify that the protest against the fairness of the election in that county, which the Returning Board altered after he signed it, was forged. These statements appear to assure the fact that his testimony will be in favor of the Democratic side of the case. The following business was transacted in the Probate Court on Saturday: Estate of Ephraim Fithian, deceased—Will admitted to probate. W. J. Smith appointed administrator with will annexed; bond $4,400. Estate of J. C. Fish, deceased—Petition for distribution of estate and settlement of final account granted. Mr. Quick, of Humboldt county, has been spending a few days in Anaheim and vicinity—spending them very pleasantly, too, as he unexpectedly found many former neighbors among the farmers in the country south of us. If, as he suggests, the present misty, damp weather is caused by the presence among us of so many Humboldites, they would confer a favor on a suffering community by returning to that blood-chilling county and taking their climate with them. "A Mass Meeting" of Democrats was held at Kroeger's Hall on Saturday night to nominate three delegates to the County Convention to be voted for at the primaries on Saturday. Eleven voters participated in the proceedings. E. W. Champlin was chosen Chairman and E. F. Cahill Secretary. Previous to balloting Mr. M. A. Mendelson stated that he had been requested to announce that Theo Rimpau did not desire to receive a nomination from the Convention, as he had already been honored with a place on a ticket with which he was perfectly satisfied. On balloting, Champlin received 9 votes, Cahill 8, W. J. Smith 9, and McFadden 3. Messrs. Cohen and Knox were appointed an Executive Committee to procure the necessary printing; be in attendance at the polls, etc. Washington, May 26.

WEEKLY ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA: SATURDAY, JUNE 1, 1878. Swore to Too Much. A dramatic episode occurred in the District Court yesterday during the trial of Wong Shu Shut for murder. Wong Shu Shut and Ah Hawk, it is claimed, chopped the deceased, Yo King, to death with hatchets. Wong Shu Shut was arrested and is on trial; Ah Hawk made his escape and it is not known where he is. The theory of the defense was that only one man did the killing, and that that one man was Ah Hawk. To substantiate this theory, among other witnesses, there was called a Chinaman who works at Mullally's brickyard. Full of zeal for the defendant—or for the truth—this China man took the stand and glibly testified that on the evening of the murder Ah Hawk came to his house, told the witness that he (Ah Hawk) had killed Yo King, had done it alone, and wanted to stay over night. The witness at first objected, but finally consented to let Ah Hawk stay that night. In the morning after breakfast Ah Hawk took his departure, and the witness had not seen him since. As soon as this very important testimony had been given, District Attorney Thom said: "Mr. Sheriff, arrest that man as an accessory after the fact;" and, much to his horror and that of his Chinese friends, the witness found himself in custody. A complaint was subsequently made out, and last night the jail numbered among its inmates the witness, whose hospitality has undoubtedly got him into very serious trouble. Conventions in Los Angeles. The delegates to the Workingmen's Convention met in Los Angeles on Saturday. Only two districts outside of the city of Los Angeles were represented, and one of them was Anaheim. Fred Backs was the delegate from this place. This is the first intimation we have had that the Anaheim Club is still in existence. A Farmers' Convention was held the same day, the attendance being very slim. The two Conventions appointed each a Committee of Conference, and as a result it was agreed to coalesce—each Convention to nominate one delegate and the two then to unite and choose a third. The Farmers nominated Judge Edward Evey, and the Workingman Judge J.S. Thompson. The Joint Convention nominated Judge P.W. West, of Compton. The Democratic County Central Committee met on Saturday for the purpose of considering the propriety of sending delegates to the San Jose Convention. After discussion it was resolved to send six delegates to the Convention, which assembles at San Jose on the 30th inst. as "it is manifest that this is the only means whereby Los Angeles county can obtain recognition upon any State ticket for delegates at large." The following gentlemen were selected as delegates: J.D. Ott, J.C. Fryer, C.M. Benbrook, J. De Barth Shorb, Constant Meyer, A.W. Hutton. The following was adopted: A Terrific Tornado. MADISON,(Wis.)May24.-The tornado which passed over this place last night proved to have been more widespread and destructive than was thought last night. In the vicinity of Primrose, twenty-five miles southwest of this city, and from there through Mt. Vernon to Paoli, the storm seems to have done widespread damage. From twenty-five to thirty barns and farmhouses were blown down and some of them utterly destroyed and the debris carried off before the mighty avalanche of wind, some of it falling twelve and fifteen miles away, one shutter of a house falling in Mendota, near this city. Some twelve or eighteen persons are known to be killed and large numbers seriously injured. Graphic yet terrible descriptions are given of the tornado. Teams and wagons are reported taken from the road and carried in the air and dashed to the ground. At Dr. George Fox's, near Oregon, two valuable horses in the pasture were taken a hundred feet in the air, carried fifty rods and dashed to the earth, killing them instantly. DUBUQUE (Iowa), May 24.-The terrible tornado which struck Mineral Point on Thursday evening entered from a southwestern direction. It first struck the lead-melting furnace of James Spensely reducing it almost to ruins. It next carried off the house of John Coleman, badly injuring Mr. Coleman, his two daughters and Tip Allen, who were in the house at the time. It then Anaheim Public Schools—Examinations.

GAZETTE: The farmers in this section of the county are complaining of the caterpillar or army worm eating up young corn, and now these destructive pests have invaded our vineyards here in Anaheim and threaten to consume the grape crop of this season. Our cotton plantations down South were occasionally visited by similar pests, which were very destructive to our cotton crops. They were known as the "cotton" or "army worm," but differed in appearance from the worm-found in the vineyards. The most effectual remedy I ever tried for protecting a cotton crop from the ravages of the cotton worm, was to sprinkle the cotton plants with a small quantity of Paris green. This is done by putting the Paris green in a tin box, perforated with small holes, attaching the box to a long handle, say 8 or 10 feet, and passing along each row sprinkle or sift the Paris green on each plant. As the Paris green is a deadly poison the worms die from eating the leaves of the plants thus treated. Great care should be taken by the person holding or applying Paris green in this: Keep to the windward of your box, use gloves, and old clothes which you can cast away, and use such precautions as will prevent its getting into your eyes, nose and mouth. I will take pleasure in explaining the method of applying Paris green to growing crops, to any of our farmers or vineyardists who desire to try the experiment of saving their crops from the ravages of the caterpillar. The Democratic County Central Committee met on Saturday for the purpose of considering the propriety of sending delegates to the San Jose Convention. After discussion it was resolved to send six delegates to the Convention, which assembles at San Jose on the 30th inst as "it is manifest that this is the only means whereby Los Angeles county can obtain recognition upon any State ticket for delegates at large." The following gentlemen were selected as delegates: J.D. Ott, J.C. Fryer, C.M. Benbrook, J. De Barth Shorb, Constant Meyer, A.W. Hutton. The following was adopted: Resolved, That the delegates appointed by this Committee shall not have power to name as proxies any persons other than their associate delegates, and that in case any of the delegates hereby appointed shall not be present at the Convention to be held at San Jose May 30th, 1878 either in person or by proxy, then such delegates as may be present are hereby authorized to cast the vote of the entire delegation from Los Angeles county. At a meeting of the County Republican Committee on Saturday, a conference was held with representative Republicans in regard to sending delegates to the Congressional District Convention at San Jose. After discussion of the question, a Committee of six, consisting of three members of the County Committee and three of the citizens at large, was chosen to confer with other political Conventions or Committees in regard to making nominations of delegates to the Union Congressional Convention, at San Jose, and if necessary to make nominations. On the part of the citizens the Committee consisted of Gen. John Mansfield, Judge R. M. Widney and H. D. Barrows. On the part of the Committee J.G.Eastman,A.M. Thornton and J.G.Nichols,to which the Secretary, Isaac W.Lord,was added.The above Committee was duly authorized to make nominations for both the District and County. It was decided to appoint five delegates to the District Convention to act in conjunction with five delegates from the Democratic County Convention. It is evident that the proceedings of the Joint Convention have given disquiet to the straight-out Republicans. The organ of that party in Los Angeles says: "Much surprise is expressed in political circles at the nominations made on Saturday by the Joint Convention of the Workingmen and Farmers.Judge Lindley was supposed to have the inside track in the Farmers' meeting,but his platform was ignored,and he consequently ignored the Convention himself.Judge Evey has certainly done nothing to deserve the nomination at the hands of the farmers.,while Judge West,bearing a member of the Republican County Committee,which is making an honest effort to secure a Union nomination,show have assisted in making such nomination,或 else signed his position before going into a Convention which refused to join in a Union movement.His conduct in this matter has received severe condemnation,and will be an unpleasant element in the coming campaign.The action of the Convention in Dubuque (Iowa),May 24.-The terrible tornado which struck Mineral Point on Thursday evening entered from a southwestly direction. It first struck the lead-melting furnace of James Spensely reducing it almost to ruins. It next carried off the house of John Coleman,badly injuring Mr. Coleman,his two daughters and Tip Allen,who were in the house at the time. It then struck the residence of John Spensely,carrying the house from its foundation and in another instant shattering it to splinters.Mr. Spensely's barn was taken up and carried off,and a horse which was in the barn carried away with it,and neither horse nor barn,nor any portion of either have yet been found.Friends of Mr. Spensely from Dubuque,some of whom were in the house at the timethe tornado struck it,escaped by taking refuge in the cellar;but Mrs.Waller,mother of John Waller,and Mrs.Spensely were carried with the house.The house of Mr. Leonard was next visited and was bodily lifted from its foundation in an instant and shivered to atoms in the air carrying with it Mrs. Leonard whose body was found 100 yards distant,mangled in a fearful manner.The roof of Mr.Addington's stone house was taken up in the air and carried 100 yards.Benjamin Bennett's house was totally destroyed,and Mrs.Bennett was thrown over a wood-pile,escaping with but little injury.The houses of James Prince and Wm.Jacka were destroyed,而a barn,situated between them,the uninjured.At the brewery of C.Gilmannthe storm did the greatest damage,carrying of Mr.Gilmann and Mr.Adams,and badly injuring a Miss Zimmer.The brewery building and barn connected therewith was totally demolished and a number of valuable horses were killed.The houses situated in the Summer garden of John Jeuck opposite the brewery building,derefied,and Mrs.Myers and Mary Jeuck were killedMr.Bohan's family,who lived a short distance from the gardens,derefenced,and Mrs.Bohan died about midnight.The house of Martin O'Doul

As the Paris green is a deadly poison the worms die from eating the leaves of the plants thus treated. Great care should be taken by the person holding or applying Paris green in this: Keep to the windward of your box, use gloves, and old clothes which you can cast away, and use such precautions as will prevent its getting into your eyes, nose and mouth. I will take pleasure in explaining the method of applying Paris green to growing crops, to any of our farmers or vineyardists who desire to try the experiment of saving their crops from the ravages of the caterpillar now infesting this portion of the county. Respectfully, VICTOR MONTGOMERY. —“Mariner,” the wandering pirate of the San Francisco Post, has a very good letter in that paper, containing his observations of Anaheim. Particularly charmed was he with our climate—so much so that he was afraid to say anything about it because he couldn’t do it without gushing!” And to show that he doesn’t gush he concludes his letter with the following verses: Land of nectar’d fruitage growing; Land of blushing clusters, glowing Neath the sun’s hot passion kisses; Land of light and summer blisses; Land of song and fragrant vine; Purple fruited Anaheim. Bursting fruit, to red wine dripping; Fire of gods, ambrosial sipping; Swell thy veins, oh, trope Eden; Wakes thy soul with slumber laden—Queen of song and rich, red wine. Purple fruited Anaheim. The sentiment of that ere is very pretty, and it is probably due to our dullness of comprehension that we can’t master the sense of it. We offer as an amendment the following: Tropic sunshine ever dripping; Colle palms seem ever gripping; Palmer land the sun near shore on; This wonder girl that I am gone on. Calves foot jelly, two old swine. Purple fruited Anaheim. New York, May 25. The Evening Post announces that Stewart’s Hotel for women is soon to be transformed into a general hotel, and adds: According to report, the new hotel is to be opened the 1st of June next, and a bar for the sale of liquors is already in process of construction. It is said that eighty is the largest number of women who at one time have availed themselves of the hotel, and that the number has diminished now there are but fifteen backers. An attack of the establishment says that every day that passes takes at least $700 out of the Stewart estate for the expenses of the concern. Judge Evey has certainly done nothing to deserve the nomination at the hands of the farmers, while Judge West, being a member of the Republican County Committee, which is making an honest effort to secure a Union nomination, should have assisted in making such nomination, or else resigned his position before going into a Convention which refused to join in a Union movement. His conduct in this matter has received severe condemnation, and will be an unpleasant element in the coming campaign. The action of the Convention in rudely declining to join in a People’s Union nomination, has arrayed its ticket against many of its best friends, who have done more to champion the rights of the Farmer and the Workingmen against monopoly than all other parties combined.” The Blue and the Gray. St. Louis, May 26. The decoration of the graves of the Union and Confederate soldiers in the National Cemetery at Jefferson Barracks, twelve miles below the city, took place today instead of on the 30th of the month, it having been decided that Sunday was the most appropriate day for the ceremony. Another purpose was to place the service in the hands of the clergy instead of politicians. This was very successfully carried out, and the number of people present greatly exceeded that in attendance on any previous occasion. Philadelphia, May 25. The result of a test case foreshadows that Alleghany county must pay for all goods destroyed in the Pittaburg labor riots. Suit was brought to recover the value of a consignment of whisky destroyed while en route from Cincinnati to Philadelphia. The defense was that the act making the county liable was intended to apply to the citizens of that county only; that the disturbance was more than a mob, was an insurrection, and that if the officers of the railroad companies were at fault in having the property in Pittaburg, the owners could not recover. The judge ruled out testimony to prove these points and the verdict was for the full amount demanded by plaintiff. Conway writes to the Cincinnati Commercial at the Infidels and Free-thinkers of Europe are hereafter to raise a purse known as St. Voltaire’s Prize, to be devoted to secular education and freedom of thought. A Proof of the Tender Passion. “Mary Jane,” said the father of Estella Mentmorenci de St. Claire, the female Hercules, “Mary Jane is unquestionably one of the most drawing attractions with any show. That act where while swinging by the toes she lifts the members of the company in succession with her teeth is a marvel of aesthetic grace and culture.” “Yes,” says the mother, proudly, “but I fear that we must soon give up our darling child.” “Why? I have noticed nothing.” “Perhaps you have not, but a mother’s eye——Mary Jane is in love with Gonzales, the cataclysm of California. Any one with half an eye can see that at a glance. Every night during his present engagement and at the Saturday matinees I have observed that when she lifts the members of the company with her teeth she keeps him suspended by the nape of the neck twice as long as any of the others. She does not conceal the preference, and thus strives to be in his company as much as possible. Her heart has spoken.” Vortex Rings. Take a bandbox with a tightly fitting lid, in which cut a round hole 1½ inches in diameter. Insert a piece of smoldering brown paper till the box is full of smoke. A tap on the bottom of the box will now start a ring from the hole, which, if the surrounding air beat rest, will sail for some yards distant. The form and eternal motion of the rings can be better studied when they are produced by giving the bottom of the box a gentle pressure with the finger end. The ring then moves slowly, but soon breaks up. A candle can be blown out at a distance of several feet by aiming a ring at it. The circle is the equilibrium form of these rings, and their vibration about this form may be studied by using a long shaped hole instead of a round ring. GAZETTE.

It then A "Cracker's" VI. ws A book has been issued, called "The Voyage of the Paper Canoe." The author, N. H. Bishop, traveled from Quebec, Canada, to the Gulf Coast of Florida, a distance of two thousand miles, in a paper canoe which weighed only fifty-eight pounds. His purpose was to explore the system of inland water courses which lace the Atlantic Coast. The book mentioned is a record of his travels. While on the North Carolina Coast he was hospitably entertained by the "Crackers," and the views of one of them is given in the following extract: "'Hog and hominy's our food here in the piny wooda,' said Mr. Edge, as his wife invited us to the little table; 'and we've a few eggs now and then to eat with sweet potatoes, but it's up-hill work to keep the niggers from killing every fowl and animal we have. The cairpet-bag politicians promised them every one, for his vote, forty acres of land and a mule. They sed as how the northern government was a-going to give it to um; but the poor devils never got any thanks even for their votes. They had been stuffed with all sorts of notions by the carpet-baggers, and I don't blame um for putting on airs and trying to rule us. Its human natur, that's all. We don't blame the niggers so much as those who puts it in their heads to do so;but it's hard times we've had, we poor woods folks. They got our children for the cussed war, to fight fur niggers and rich people as owned um. Financially speaking, England is struggling Russia as Hercules strangled Antus—by holding him in suspension. In twenty years of peace Russia has been unable to cancel the paper debt incurred by the Crimean War, and the cost of her Turkish campaign has been 850,000,000 roubles, equal to $637,200,000 with an accruing interest of 45,-000,000 roubles, or $33,750,000. Since the treaty of San Stefano, Russia has not only been compelled to keep her troops in the field of war at the enormous expense of nearly if not quite 60,000,000 roubles, or $45,-000,000 per month, but has been put to further disbursements in providing for a war against England. We have reckoned the rouble at seventy-five cents. Her present indebtedness on uncovered paper amounts to 1,070,000,000 roubles, or $625,000,000 while her paper money has already shrunk in value over 42 per cent., and if war be declared, an additional $730,000,000—extraordinary resources—must be got together to cover the deficit for the next nine months. In the meanwhile, Russian credit has no existence abroad. Europe is satiated and disgusted with Russian script, and will not lend a farthing. The only resource left the Czar is to set the government paper mills to grinding out illimitable issues of "more money," which in a few months will raise the prices of all other commodities to the famine point. England has taken a noble stand in this affair, and will secure the active sympathy of enlightened nations as the champion of May 24.—The terrible Mineral Point on the horse in the pasture feet in the air, carried to the earth, killing them every one, for his vote, forty acres of land and a mule. They sed as how the northern government was a going to give it to um; but the poor devils never got any thanks even for their votes.

They got our children for the cussed war, to fight fur niggers and rich people as owned um. "We never could find out what all the fuss was about; but when Jeff Davis made a law to exempt every man from the army who owned fifteen niggers, then our blood riz right up, and we sez to our neighbors, 'This ere thing's a-getting to be a rich man's quarrel and a poor man's fight.' After all they dragged off my boy to Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, and killed him a-fighting for what? Why, for rich nigger owners. Our young men hid in the swamps, but they were hunted up and forced into the army. Niggers has been our ruin. If a white man takes a case before a niger justice, he gives the nigger everything, and the white man has to stand one side. Now, would you folks up north like to have a nigger justice who can't read nor count ten figgurs ?" A summary of the achievements of the German Emperor in the hunting fields is necessarily interesting. It seems that since the year 1819, when at the age of 22, the Emperor, then Prince William of Prussia, began hunting, he kept a schiessliste, in which he entered an accurate account of the head of game killed by his own hand. The list commences with a bison almost extinct, killed in 1819, when hunting in the extensive domains of the Prince of Plesz. Next came 2 bears, 3 wolves, 779 large and 629 small boars, 11 chamois, 230 stags, 278 red deer, 845 fallow deer, and 145 does. Of smaller game his Majesty killed 2,908 hares, 33 rabbits, 30 foxes, 11 badgers, 910 pheasants, and 102 partridges. The total number of head of game falling under the gun of the German Emperor from the commencement of 1819 till the end of 1877 was 6,996, or, roundly 7,000, being at the rate of 120 per annum. His Majesty's long career as a sportsman, extending over very near threescore years, passed not entirely without accidents. The most serious of these was one that happened on the 19th of December, 1819, when Prince William in the act of loading his gun, while hunting with Herr von Wulknitz at Lanken, received a shot in his right hand which necessitated the amputation of the greater part of his forefinger. An eccentric Englishman offers a prize of $500 to the biggest eater that can be found in Paris during the Exposition, and the same amount for the corpulent person who can get rid of the most superfluous flesh within a year.

Cassius M. Clay, the noted anti-slavery orator, has been interviewed by a New York reporter, in regard to the Potter investigation. Although he believes Tilden was elected, he is opposed to the present attitude of the Democracy. He said: "Hayes has given the South what we expected from Tilden. Therefore I say to our people that having got what they want from Hayes they should not now toss him back into the hands of Cameron and Conkling for them to handle. Besides I think that they agreed to stand by the game of chance, and in good faith ought to do so. His policy has made the South strong and peaceful. I expect to see the country governed by Southern men and influence largely; now that our troubles have been resumed because we are more homogeneous than the people of the North. We have no Jacobinism there. Men follow an issue more compactly; while at the North they are divided into factions; parties and schisms. But I regard all this talk about North and South as out of place. We are of one country. I don't know any sectionalism, excepting as I am called upon to defend my own people." U. S. Senator Simon Cameron says that he had never heard any good of John Morrissy, An eccentric Englishman offers a prize of $500 to the biggest eater that can be found in Paris during the Exposition, and the same amount for the corpulent person who can get rid of the most superfluous flesh within a year. The Berkshire Courier, with well-feigned innocence, inquired: "How can five persons divide five eggs so that each man will receive one and still one remain in the dish?" After several hundred people went two-thirds distracted in the mazes of this proposition, the Courier meanly says: "One takes the dish with the egg." Never in modern times has there been such a period of famine as in the last five years. First in Anatolia (Turkey), then in India, and now in China and Brazil. Tens of thousands have died from sheer starvation. Last month the deaths from this cause in Brazil were reported to be as many as one hundred per day. Government and individuals have done what they can, but are powerless to deal adequately with the calamity. Rev. Mr. G———, of Stirling, remarked to one of his hearers that he heard he was about to be married for a third time. The reverend gentleman added: "They say, John, you're getting money with her; you did so on the two last occasions; you'll get quite rich by the wives." "Dear sir," quietly responded John, "what wi' bringin' them in, and puttin' them out, there's no mucle made o' them." The statues of Robt. Fulton and Rev. Peter Muhlenburg are to be placed in the National Statuary hall of the Capitol, at Washington. Dr. Muhlenburg at the beginning of the Revolution, consented to take a command in field, and his last sergeon contained the words: "There is a time for all things—a time to preach and a time to fight—and now is the time to fight." As he said this he stopped off his clerical robes, displayed his uniform as a collar and read his commission to the king. U. S. Senator Simon Cameron says that he had never heard any good of John Morrissey, and regarded him as merely a low prize fighter and gambler, until he went to Washington as Congressman. "I must confess that I was not favorably impressed with him," Cameron adds, "I was surprised when a New York politician spoke in his praise." The politician told a story to the effect that a young clerk lost $12,000 of his employer's money in Morrissey's gambling house, and confessed to his parents, who were wild with grief at the prospect of exposure and disgrace. They appealed to the politician, w' owent to Morrissey and explained the case, Morrissey said: "That's all very well, but the young fellow lost the money fair; and as for him bein'a poor, innocent young dove that didn't know nothing of the world, that's all stuff; he's been in our place often, and won many a pile, but for the old woman's sake I'll see what I can do. Come to my home to-morrow morning, and like as not I can make the thing all right." The next morning Morrissey returned the money. Mrs. Maud Giles, a choir singer in St. Mary's Catholic Church in Jersey, yesterday morning accomplished the novel undertaking of singing uninterruptedly for three hours. It is said that nobody ever sung for three hours without stopping before. Mrs. Giles undertook the task in order to illustrate the ease with which one may sing when employing the methods of vocalization in which she has been educated. She is the stopdaughter of the late Mr. Bellew, the English educator, who several years ago gave a series of readings in this country, and he taught her how to economize her forces and employ her voice so as to experience the least fatigue possible. Yesterday's exhibition was only a rehearsal, Mrs. Giles proposing to repeat her performance publicly on the 20th of this month—New York Sun.
