A King Who Wants to be Above the Law, WasHiNGox, D. C., January 4.—Claus Spreckels, the San Francisco augar king, Sandwich Island sugar planter, purchaser of crown lands, and prime favorite of King Kalakaua, has come to grief, and brought misfortune upon his royal patron. The fact is also, that his majesty has fal- len mnte habits of extravagance. His contact with European monarchs dazzled him, and made him feel his royal oate. As a consequence, he had himself crowned . some time ago, the coronation ceremonies costing a trifle ot $75,000 or thereabouts. 1tis one.of the court scandals that the crown has not been paid for. The king has long sighed to have his image and superscription on a coin of his realm, but not until the last session of the legisla- ture could he overcome the objection to it. An act was passed authorizing the recoinage of all silver coin then in the trensury, but guarding against any greater issue by imposing a duty of ten percent on silver, Then, to replenish Jan ex- hausted exchequer, the king negotiated with Claus Spreckele a loan of a million dollars. For this, coupon bonds were to issue bearing six cent interest, and payable in United States gold coin or its equivalent. The loan was authorized by law. Mr. Spreckels, by arrangement with the minister of Krance, caused $130,000 to be coined in silver half dollars of Hawaiian coin, and was about to deliver them in exchange for the like amount of gold bearing bonds; whereupon, on the 12th of Decomber, ult., some taxpayers petitioned Chancellor Judd of the su- preme court for a mandamus requiring the minister of finance to accept omly gold coin or its equivalent, and notto accept half dellars worth only forty-one cents each, The mandamus was granted on December 14, and an appeal taken. Great excitement prevailed in Honolulu, and private advices of the 15th, recewved here, are to the effecct that there is dan- gor of revolution in case the king should be induced to override the action of the oourts There is a good deal of talk about a ll:eciul session of the legislature, but this the king is believed to fear, as the public pressure would slmost certainly prevent the logalizing of his deal with Spreckels. He cannot borrow anywhere else with Tis present ministry areund him, He must back down, change his ministry, or be overthrown, Should the latter fate befall him he would almost certainly be eucceeded by Queen Emma, widow of Kamehameha 1V, Sheis the educated and accomplished daughter of Doctor Rook, an Englishman of note, by a Hawaiian lady, Her acces sion would be an Euglish advantage. The crisis through which Kalakaua is passing will break the power of Claus Spreckele, who has so absolutely controlled him as to secure, by favorablo purchase 40,000 acres of crown lands, the sale of which was expressly prohibited by law, and who also obtained a monopoly of the bus- T * N. €.

Our government recently senta com- mission out to Honolulu ostensibly to in- quire into the violation of the rights of others engaged in the carrying trade, who had complained that they were excluded from the traffic | enjoyed by Spreckles. The number of Chinese immigrants al- lowed to be brought in is limited to 200 per month., It is thought that our com- mission had instructions a great deal broader than this, however.

Washiugton Letter to tho Cleveland Leader. Caleb and Joe Willard are among the wealthiest of Washington’s wealthy men, They came here when they were boys and worked at odd jobs until they to- gether leased a tavern which stood where Willard's hotel now stands. Here they kept a hotel and made oceans of money. The Willard brothers are many times millionnaires, but all their millions can- not blow the flame of brotherly love into their bosoms. Caleb hates Joe, who owns Willard's hotel, and Joe hates Caleb, who owns the Ebbit house. Joo Willard is one of the characters of Washington. Al sorts of etories are told about him, and he is ofter denominated the hermit. He lives on Fourteenth street, near the Kbbitt house, in a great brick of dirty white, which leoks like a tomb with its tightly closed blinds and its forbidding exterior., He hes a wife, but never goes into society, and he is thought by mauy to be a man-hater. A negro servant always answers the doer, and it is imposeible to gain admittance. Re- cently I called on him at his business den. Going through a narrow passage over an uneven, difnpidnted floor 1 was shown by the negro janitor up a pair of steep stairs, and soon stood in the pre- sence of Joe Willard, the millionaire. A queer looking man, with a big head covered with the whitest of hair and the brightest black eyes that ever looked into mine, rose from an old chair us I entered, ‘Tall, diguitied and rather good looking, [ thought him, and I noted his great bushy white brows overhanging his eyes, hus big noge and stroug jaws, He was in a talkative moed and, like many other rich men I kuow, his hobby was making money. He discoursed for an hour on Jay Gould, = Vanderbilt and others, ing me interestiug passages in their careers and interlarding his remarks now sud then with a metalic laugh, . Joe Willard's office is a peculiar place, ite wall is cracked, and the oldest of broken furniture stands about the room. A grate of blazing coal is framed in a wooden mantel, and on this stand in a row fifty or sixty glass ink bottles, which coat, when full of ink, perhaps five cents apiece. An old brick or two lies on one table, a broken horseshoe on another,and the floor beneath has neither carpet ner rug, and age shows many a crack On the wall above the mantel are numerous newspaper clippings about wealthy men and how they acquired their millions.

There is great excitement here over the Ohio senatorial contest, and it is the ge- neral topic of conversation, Various ad- vices, confidential and otherwise, show that & remarkable change is going on, throughout the democracy over the state in fayor of Pendlaton. Major Tolford, who has just returned from Columbus, says that he knows several legislators who when elected were pledred to vote against Pendleton, but who are now recewing letters from those who were most active in working against Pendleton, wrging that he be elected by all meaus over Payne. This chauge, pays he, is general, and mot local. Reese G. Richards, lieu- it governor of the state, corroborates tatement in regard to certain locali- nd says the fight will be very close indeed, ‘‘I should not. be surprieed,” said he, ‘to see Thurman’s big Roman nose stack into the fight before it is over. He has gone west to be out of the road, and where he will be left in the hands of | his friends. His friends, I think, will push him forward if it is apparent that he can be 5 Still, motwithstanding all this, the ge- neral sentiment here is that Henry B. Payae has the inside track and that the influences are at work which will secure his election, ‘‘But there is many a ship, Twixt the cup and the lip,” and Mr, Payne has already experienced this in times past in relation to the United States senate, HOW WADE BECAME SENATOR, Ex-Governor Dennison, now dead, told me a fow yeare ago the histery of Payne's first senatorial contest. Said he: **In 1851 a senator was to be olected in Ohio, and Henry B. Payne was the can- didate of the democratic party when the logislature met. Hiram Griswold, of Stark county, led the whigs, The legis lature was 80 constituted that neither the whig nor the democratic party eould iv- | elect without the assistance of the free Soil or anti-slavery members. These held the balance of power, but were, if snything, more favorable to the whigs than to the democrats. 1 had been s member of the seuate for the two years preceding, but was not at this time. The balloting started out with Payne away ahead, and it continued 8o off and on for twenty-four ballots, scattering votes be- ing cast for Ewing, the elder, Joshua R. Giddings, Sherlock J. Andrews, Tom Corwin, and others. On the twenty-fifth ballot Ben Wade's name was presented to the assembly, and on the twenty- seventh he was elected. “Just before Wade's name was pro- posed Benators Converse, of Muskingum, and Vinal, of Clarke, called upon me for consultation. They said the situation was such that it was impossible to elect Gris- wold or any other whig unless they could get the votes of the anti-slavery members of the legislature. They told me that Judge Wade had, beensuggested as a good compromise candidate, but it o happened that no whig member of the legislature knew him personally. They wanted my advice as to what they should do in the premises. I told them I would consider the matter and let them know within an hour, “On our meeting at my office at the appointed time, I told them my personal acquaintence with Judge Wade was limit- ed to a single interview with him during the presidential campaign of 1848, when, being a smember of t{)’s whig state central committee, I went to the Reserve to meet Mr. Ford, then whig candidate for governor, and other gentlemen in the interest of General Taylor, our candi- date for the presidency and it was on this subject that I went to Ravenna to see Judge Wade, he havieg been a warm supporter of General Taylor. I said to Messrs. Converee and Vinal that 80 favorably was I impressed with Judge Wade's manliness in my conversation with him that I was prepared to advise them and all my whig friends of the leg- islature ¢e give him their hearty support for the senate. At their request I called We have the N. C. Thompson Hay Rake.

Herr Chowlson, profes- sorof physics at the university of St. Peteraburg, has written an article on the subject, in which he sa; *In 1ts re- markable simplicity this invention can only be compared with the Jablochkoff system of electric lighting. The watches are witheut any springs, and consist solely of two wheels. Besides being true, they have the advantage of the second hand meving in momentary leaps, as is usually the case only in very costl watches, and which is of the utmost util ity for astronomical observations, These watches can also set in motion a certain number of watches of the same con- struction, so that they all keep exact time. The invention has convinced me that watches can be used for the pur- pose of telegraphy.” immediately upon the leading whig mem- bers and wrged them o to vote, Some of them hesitated because of their fear of his extreme anti-slavery views, To this I raglied that without any authority from Judge Wade and without any espe- cial know! on the subject to which they referred, I would take the respon- sibility, as far as one could under the cireumstances, that if Judge Wade were elected he would do and not do certain things, and I further said that I would communicate to Judge Wade immediate- ly the filedgu 1 had made for him, lei it to his sense of honor to redeem the pledges. This was acoepted by objecting members as suflicient. The Tesult was from these assutances and other influ- ences common on such occasion, that Wade was immediately elected by combi- nation of votes of the whiz and the free soil members of the legislature. 1 wrote immediately to the judge, who was then holding eourt at Akron, informing him in detail of the circumstances connected with the election, of my pledges in his behalf, to which he promptly replied, expressing his thanks for my ‘friendly offices, and saying that had he been on the ground he would have made every pledge directly that I had made for him. I would only sdd that he faithfully re- deemed every pledge by his votes and acts in the senate or the United States,” Buch is the history of Henry B. Ps‘yne‘l first contest for the sonate.
