Semators.—Attorney General Hoar has given an opinion upon the power of the Vir- ginia Legislature to elect United States Sen- ators after organizing, and ssys they have au- thority to do so, as sach action is not regarded &s legislative business, and will therefore b= legal. The Legislature will probabiy enter into the election of Senators immediately after organizing on Tuesday next. PRoPe@sED REMEDY FOR GOLD GAMPLING.— Senator Wilson says that he proposes, at the ext session Of Oongrees, to introduce a bill Providing that any person who shall engage in Duying or selling gold, and shalt mailto deliver actual coin, shall be punished with heavy fine and imprisonment. He thinks this would go far to break up the system of gold gambling which prevails in Wall street, and prevent the repition of such scenes as were witnessed there inst week. GoLD SaLus In BALTIMORE AUTHORIzED.— Collector Thomas, of Baltimore, has been aboring for some time past to have arrange- ments msde whereby the merchants of Balti- more coald obtain gold for the payment of cus, toms duties without going to New York and submitting to delays and extra costs, and has succeeded ip getting the Secretary of the Treasury to allow him to sell to merchants tor the purpose indicated fifty thousand dollars in gold each week, at an advance of ¥ of 1 per cent. on the premium current in gold exchange of New York. Hon. Jouy Covong, chairman of the Repub- lican StateCentral Committee of Pennsylva- nia, yesterday had a long interview with the President relative to the approaching election in that State, as staied in THE STAR of last evening. While Mr. OCovode expressed the opinion that Governor Geary would be re- elected, he admitted that the contest would be & close one, and that it would require all the influence of tbe administration to aid in secur- img success. He told the President tha bis re- cent visit to the western part of the State had been very beneficial, and hoped he would pay & visit to the eastern part. A large State fair, Be said, was to be Deld at Allentown this week, and he thought the President should attend it The President replied that he would do soif his business, would permit. GOVERNMEET AID ASKED TO SuPPRess GAMBLING.—The Collector, Naval Officer, and Surveyor of the port of New York have united in requesting Secretary Boutwell to make a contribution on bebalf of the Government to the society in that city for the suppression ot gambling. They allege that the interests of the Government require that there should be a sys- tem of espionage over those in Government employ, and the only practical way of reach- ing those guilty of gambling is through the in- fluence of this society. The New York mer- chants contribute according to their business, the firms of A. T. Stewart and Claflin & Co, paymg $2,500 each annually. Secretary Bout well having no authority to authorize the ex- penditure, was compelled to refuse the re- quest. A REIGN OF TERROR 1m MiesissiPri.—Gen.

[Special Correspondence ot The Evening Star.} Sam Faaxcisco, Cat., Sept. 19, 1969.— Editor Star: Soon after the close of my last letter we left Omaha for this point, the train being a special one, and composed of four Pullman Palace Cars, a dining-ruom and & commissary car. On Sunday afternoon at 6 o'clock we reached Echo Usiion, where & halt was mace, and under the shadow of over-hanging rocks religious services were engaged in, under the leadership of the Grand Chaplain, Rev. J. W. Venable, of Kentuciry, (a native of Washin; city.) The mpressive service of the Episcopal Oburch was read, and all anited in singing the hymn, “Jesus, lover of my soul,” and the doxology. While thus en: iu devotion, the photographer of the Union Pacific Rail- road by direction of the company, tock & tine Picture of the interesting scene. Leaving the Canon, the train proceeded on schedule time, a the different stations on the road to receive the fraternal ings of large numbers who were assem’ im their labor of love. At Winnemucca, Nevada, on Monday night, about 12 o'clock, the entire membership of the Lodge there greeted us, and Grand Master Hayden, of that jurisdiction, delivered an ad- dress of welcome, referring to the fact that on that spot one hundred years ago Baron Hum. boldt encamped after a survey of the moun tains, which was res} to by Grand Sire Farnsworth; large quantities of California fruit, ete, were on the train by the Win- nemuccsers, which the company much enjoyed. ‘The same attention greeted us at Carlin, Elko City, Truckee, and other places on the route, and, mdeed, the entire region through which we — seemed to be alive to the importance @ occasion. ot ry , at 6 p.m., the train reached Sacramento, no stoppage being made fur a trip to Great Salt Lake City, the programme along the roate not permittiag such a consumption of time; it being understood, however, that Mormondom will receive the attentions of ths party on their return. After the reception at Sacramento, the members were conducted to the quarters provided, and tired nature sought Tepose in Le yg bog On the morrow the en- ure order of that city, with the Grand Lodge oft Califorpia, were out in procession, and es- corted the G. L. U. S. to the site of a new Odd Fellows’ hall, where the corner-stone was laid by the Grand Sire, under the scor: rays ‘an equatorial sun,” the effects of which Will not soon be forgotten. At night 8 grand banquet was given at the Pavilion in honor of the visitors, at which over eight hundred dies and gentlemen were seated at the nine Jong tables, on which were sandwiched the fish, flesh, fowl and fruit of this productive clime, which were washed down by tes and coffee. Appetites being Sppecaed, toasts were of the loon, where dancing was e by choreans until the “wee casa’ bout too late S recuperate for the duties of the succeediog ay. At four o'clock on Thursday morning the California cemmittee were around preparing the party for the trip to San Francisco. * Ali aboard” the train on the Western Pacific Rai!- Toad, (opened but a few days previously,) we Were glad to find that the last gap of the long journey across the Uontinent was being suc- cessfully closed. But, alas! the “schemes ot mice and men oft gang aglee;” after a travel of some twenty-five miles “down brakes” squealed from the engine. and the unwelcome intelligence passed from mouth to mouth that the connecting rod pe« 2 broken, hours, as we were several miles from the near- est telegraph station.

The Alameda ferry was crossed about 6 p. m. (Washington time,) and on hearing the wharf at San Francisco, the booming of can- hon, bie. mg of bills, whistling of steamers, and bands of music, told that no ordinary event was occurring, the decks and masts of vessels and house tops and wharves being croweded with persons anxious to do honor to the Grand Lodge of the United States. The ladies being placed under escort hotel ward, the members formed in line and joined the proces- sion, composed of the Lodges and Eucamp- ments and grand bodies of this jurisdiction, beaded by a battalion of the National Guard, nd proceeded to the theatre, where Grand Master Harmon welcomed the Grand Lodge ot the United States tothe Pacific coast and to San Francisco, referring to the good results that would flow from the Senate of Odd Fel- lowsbip holding its session here. Grand Sire Farnsworth responded in a well-timed address, complimenting the fraternity here for the rapid strides made in bebalf of the principles of Friendship, Love, and Truth. Alter repeated calls for Grand Secretary Ridgely, that yete- Tan made a few remarks, which were received with the greatest delight. Darkness coming on, the ceremonies of reception were con- eluded, and the Grand Lodge of the United States escorted to Udd Fellows’ Hall, and thence to their quarters, at different hotels, and terminating the grandest demonstrations ever occnrring in this city of great displays—so saith the “oldes: inhabitant ” On Friday, on board the steamship Senator, Qn excursion was made around the Bay of San Francisco, stopping at Hanter’s Poiat to examine the dry dock and works there; thence trough the Golden Gate to the Pacific ocean, where the rolling of the steamer caused a gen: eral upheaval of the “inner map;” aad after- wards proceeding in various directions view- ing the many Isiands, fortifications, &c., of tuis beautiful harbor. During the trip a boan- titul collation was enjoyed by the keen appe. tite, whetted by the salt ocean air. Atabout i P..m., we returned to the city.

A visit to the old church of the Mission Dolores was very interesting. 1t is stated that a number of Franciscans Friars left Spain on the 4th of April, 1776, and having reached this is dependence. This is regarded as a remarkable coimcidence by the sexton who imparts the in- formation, and is believed by him to be true. It is uncerstood that Vice President Uolfax, who is a Past Representauve, will visit the : Ryt. e. Lord Clarendon, in a speech before the Hert- fordshire Agricultural Society yesterday knowledge the Irish tenure of laud question a Vital one, but not mecessarily a ques. ‘ion and said that the Government intended to introduce a measure in regard to it whi would command the support and respect of every honest man. In reteremce to Europe, he ssid that at no time within three years ‘has there been a fairer prospect of continued peace than now.

The Readiog Rail- road Company brought down for the week 103,050 tons, and for the year 3,097,814 tons, against 2,557,268 tons to corresponding time in 1865, an increase Of 540,576 tons. The Schuyl- kill Navigation brought dowua for the week 17,5:4 tons, and for the season 432,56 tons, against 635,177 tons to same time last season, an increase of 152,161 tons. Tne entire coal tonnage of the week by all the principal carrying companies is 320,018 tons, and for the year %.356,763 toms, against 9,401,023 tons to cor- Tespondmg ume in iS68—a decrease of 15,160 tons. On the 20th instant there will beanother public scale of Scranton eoal, and something Will depend upon the prices then realized as to the future of prices in the general market. On Friday jast some of the re; tatives of the mines were in this city, wi e view of deter- mining the prices of coal on which te founds basis for the price of production of the current month. The miners at the first of the month agreed to continue on work, ee price of coal for the month to be fixed on Dave not learned what price was agreed upon, but was informed previously that an advance was expecied by the miners, which, if granted by the coal operators, a decrease in the price of coal to consumers is not very probable. There is one thing connected with the trade that we think indispataie. ‘There is capacity notonly in mining force, but in transportation facilities for a considerable increase in coal production, and that this fact will manifest itself as soon as orders take the present stock of coal from the centres at which it is piled. The Reading Railroed Company bas twenty locomotives and two thousand coal cars more than ithad at this time last year, giving it a capacity ef 140,000 tons a week. The Lenigh Valley road and the Lehigh Navigation have each increased proportionately #s much or more, so that there seems no probability of a scarcity of coal, thongh the market may be so managed as to prevent any fall in the price of coal. Vessels are in mogerate s1 —freigbts unchanged. ‘WORKINGMEN’S Party in MASSACHUSETT, State_Convention.—The setts State® Labor Reform Convention, to found a new po- litical party in tne interest of the werkingmen and nominate ® State ticket, met at Worcester color or condition are clear violations of the tundamental principles of a Democratic Gov- ernment; asserting that all associations of workingmen and workingwomen formed with a@ view of promoting their moral or mate- rial interests, shouid receive the same chsr- ters, rights, and privileges at the hands of the Legislature as are ited to associated capital; insisting uj 5 hours of labor toeight for labor employed atthe public expense; candidate a pledge Slaw prombiting all manufacturing estay'sie of the great principles and laysan unjust burden on the prodrcing clasees of the country: opposing the introdac- tion of Chinamen; calling for the creation of a secure the election of candidates unequivocally committed to priaciples embraced in this plat- form; and asserting the recognition of the claim of the bondholders, that the national debt is payable in coin only, is clear repudiation of pationa: faith.

Stoddard, of North Bridgewater: for Attorney Generri C. Cowley, of Lowell; for Auditor, Joseph Glines, of Haverhill. None of these gentlemen have been prominent in political matters, and but few delegates were acquainted with the candi- Gate tor Governor.
