Early in the morning they began to come in and when the set there were still several “square riggers” outside. The American ship St. David from New York was the first to get in. She was followed by the British bark Strath- don from Newcastie, and after her came the German steamer Tanis from Ham- burg via San Diego; the bark Amy Tur- ner, 30 days from Hilo: the brig Harrlet G, 31 days from Mahukona; the schooner Allen A, 30 days from Makuhona, and the British ship Cambrian Hills, 84 days from Newecastle, Aus. The Cambrian Hills left Australla a fortnight ahead of the Strathdon. The former vessel went around by the way of Tahiti, while the latter followed the usual course and made a good run. SPOKE THE PACIFICO. 2 The American ship St. David made a good run here of 154 days. The voyage was an uneventful one except for a num- ber of heavy squalls run into before en- tering the straits of IT.e Malre. Round- ing the Horn the weather was favorable and good time was made. On August & in latitude 27 degrees 35 minutes north, Jongitude 132 degrees 20 minutes west, the A\ V/an Chilean bark Pacifico was spoken. The jatter vessel had evidently been caught in a squall, as her fore topmast was gone and the foremast head had carried away about three feet below the cap. The 8t. vid set a signal asking if assistance was wanted, but the only answer was the hoisting of the Chilean A D e DO eb e siereieitIebebesebe e Bark Pacifico That Left Puget Sound a Month Ago Spoken Off the Coast With Foretopmast Gone.

The vessel is owned in Valparaiso. TRANSPORT WESTMISTER ARRIVES. The United States transport Westmin- ster arrived in port from the Philippines last night and went into quarantine. She brings no passengers, but has two stow- aways aboard. RUSSIAN TRANSPORT LOADING. There was a busy time of it yesterday at the steamer Eidsvold. She is lying at the seawall and loading stores for ‘the Russian base of supplies at Port Arthur. The work of getting the ship ready for sea is being rushed and she will probably sall Wednesday. The Eidsvold will take away about 4000 tons of general supplies and a number of other vessels will be put on the berth for the same place as #oon as she has cleared. Russia and Ger- many_ will be good customers of Uncle Sam for months to come. WATER FRONT NOTES. The Kosmos liner Tanis arrived from Hamburg via San Dlego yesterday morn: ing. She brought seventeen cabin senxerl to San Francisco and landed thi: ty-five at San Diego. Among those who came here from uth America on the mail boat were A. T. Sampson, United States Minister to Ecuador, and T. ana, Japanese Minister to Chile. It' s rumored that the Tanis will be taken by the German Government to car, ry commissariat stores to China. In that event the vessel chartered by the Kosmos {ine to follow the Tanis will have to take that vessel's place. STEAMER EIDSVOLD THAT WILL CARRY RUSSIAN SUPPLIES TO CHINA.

OAKLAND CLERGYMAN ON THE'CITY COUNCIL OAKLAND, Aug. 26—As a prelude to his sermon on “What God Requires” Rev. William Kelly, pastor of the First Eng- lish Lytheran Church, this evening de- livered a short address on “Our City Couneil.” The city legislative officials were praised b{ the clergyman for thelr method of a !‘rn!lng of the municipality’s business and for their general conduct while meet- ing as a body. One or two of the Coun- cilmen, according to Rev. Mr. Kelly, rep- resent what are commonly called “good fellows," while the others give him the impression that they are men of common- sense.

Within one hundred feet of the police ation burglars played a bold game early aturday morning. They ransacked the store of A. Schlueter & Co. at 1158 Wash- ington street and carried off considerable | money and a large quantity of jewelry and small articles of merchandise. The police attribute the crime to the same gang of thieves that two weeks ago en-| tered five stores and the California Bank on Washington and Twelfth streets, within a radius of two blocks from the scene of this iatest raid. That the midnight prowlers should se- lect as the scene of operations a large, well-lighted store so near the police head- quarters that the entrance is within the glare of the electric Jigh front is conclusive cvidence to the mystl- fied detectives that an unusually daring gang was at work. The burglary was notdiscovered until the clerks arrived at the store Saturday morning. Strange to say, the poiicemen on the beat discov- covered the store doors open during the early hours of the marning watch, but made no investigation 1o certain the reason for the unusu: cireum- stance. The fact that the doors were un- locked was reported at police headquar- ters during the night. employes to discover why the entrance was open. The door had been forced with some instrument, presumably a burglar's steel “jimmy,” the marks being nly visible vnder a light. The clerks found that the store shelves and showcases had been but only light portable goods, such as small pieces of jewelry and the like, were taken. The proprie. tors have not estimated the amount of the loss, but it will probably run into several hundred dollars. ‘As usual, the burglars left nothing be- hind by which their identity might be traced.

U. S. GRANT. e | - PY Woeo-e e dedeieieoe® quickly placed themselves at the head of the dazed and incompetent blacks, who became an easy prey; they filled the prin- offices and pocketed most of the State debts which their methods fostered. In some of the States, under this disgrace- ful leadership, protected by Federal mili- tary power, the negro majorities gained fuli control, while In others the white voters were able to soon restore white su- | premacy. The situation led inevitably to fraud and violence, and the exasperation of the Southern people was extreme. In| certain districts the elections became | sometimes mere carnivals of crime. the | powers of the Federal Government being |used in the most unblushing partisan manner, while the opposite party respond- | ed with artful intimidation of their former slaves and skillful use of their superiot knowledge and power. Especially obnox- jous to the South were the Congressional acts of 18570 and 1571, commonly callel the | force bills, imposing harsh penalties for any interference with the negro franchise, and the Ku-Klux movement was a sort of retaliation to those measures. The more violent phase of the agitation, how- ever, died down ere long. and the general amnesty act of 1572 alded the approach of more qulet conditions. Various judicious mollifying decisions of the Supreme Court helped to clarify the views and temper the passions of all parties. The people came slowly back to their senses. But the long and serfous strain upon the constitu- tional principles of our Government did not end until those principles had been subjected to the supreme test of the year The last of the States to be readmitted fulfilied the required conditions in July, 1570, and reconstruction was complete: but the southern question was far from being settled, and the several national conven- tions of 1872 all pronounced upon the prob- lem. From that time on, however, party readjustments took place without much reference to Southern affairs. Financial Questions. The creation of national banks under Federal law in 1863-64 was one of the war measures of the Government. The orig- inal purpose was to create a market for the Government bonds. The system proved successful and national bank notes soon supplanted all. others. As a party measure it was, however, subjected to constant criticism by the opposition, as Was the issue of a full legal-tender paper currency yet earlier. The Republican party committed itself in 1849 in the speedy resumption of specie payments., and also to the payment in coin of the interest-bearing bonds of the Government. Opposition to the national banks has never fully died out, and in the campalgn of 1872 the resumption policy of the party and the too rapid reduction of the national debt were also subjected to criticism. Annexation of San Domingo. General Grant had stronsly urged the annexation of the negro republic of San Domingo, and had labored with all his powers to create a public sentiment in favor of the scheme. Though the project had been abandoned because of the oppo- sitlon of the Senate, vet in pushing the matter with unwise insistence the Presi- dent had allenated two of his strongest party leaders—Sumner and Greeley— whose influence greatly helped the oppo- sition in his second canvass. Civil Service Reform. The stupendous evils resulting from the acceptance by both parties since the time ot Jackson of the “spolls” system in po- Jitical administration had by this time be- come so apparent that serious uneasiness was feit. The long tenure of power In the Republican party had developed those | evils to such scandalous proportions as had never before been known. General Grant heartily favored legal regulation of admissions to the civil service, and the first _civil service reform act was passed in i571. But so deep seated was the evil | and so unfortunate was the President in | his cholce of persons to assist him in his raisworthy efforts that the odium Fastened upon the party. and the admin- istration was such as to disgust and allen- ate many of their supporters. The Tariff. The great increase in tariff dutles made during the war was now filling the United States treasury to overflowing and an em- barrassing surplus was accumulating. A widespread demand for tariff reform spread over the land. being particularly strong in the West, whose agricultural pulation had failed to derive from the igh war duties a fair share of the ad- vantage. In that part of the country party lines were threatening to disappear as the tariff question gained prominence. In all the platforms of the numerous parties or factions holding conventions in 1572 some reference is made to the desired regulation of duties. “Liberal” Republican Convention. The tendency toward a combination of the several elements opposed to Grant was first manifest in Missouri as early as , and from that State came the prop- osition for a national convention of those | vaunting the act | working day, for ecivil Republicans calling themselves “liberal’ to nominate a l{’efldenu-l ticket. A movement tending to divide the cratic party appeared about the same tima in Ohio. and by the time the liberal ention met a large pro- onal Democratic party with them to defeat portion of the n was ready to J Grant Tt e convention w having no principles. and charging with partsan « o prosti- tution of his i personal It plec dged nd on abeas corpus, ! m, mainte- e of the p nd speedy re- turn to specie A majority the avention were pronounced but they were persuaded to yiel nciple to the necessity for unmnq' of opposition to Grant, and 1 by the great protec- accordingly passed the sixth ballot that prin all 1} a resoluti tionist ley was nom r President.

It was acc though not without some expressed op- position and much silent. Straight Democratic Convention. The great dissa action among the Democrats with the action of their party the members in Cincinnati and Baltimore conventions led to Still another conven- tion, called at Louisville, y.

Charles O'Conor of Quincy Ad of oth gentlemen clined the honors thrust upon the but they nevertheless received some 20 otes. Minor Conventions. The labor reformers held the first con- vention of the year at Columbus, Ohio, in February. Their platform was an impos- ing document. It set forth the duty of he Government to provide “a purely na- tionaal circulating medium, based on the faith and resources of the nation, issued directly to the people without t te vention of any system of banking corpo- Qoo siesisieieiese® * *> 3 $ - * - > 4 3 * * d * . s & ® * - ® ® * * *® & * > ® ® * HORACE GREELEY. * ® D ed oo e se e e be rations,” such money to be full legal tender for all debts. It called for modi- fication of the tariff, for an _eight-hour service reform and a one-term Presidency. David Davis of Illinois and Joel Parker of New Jersey were nominated, but in June both with- drew. The Prohibitionists also chose can- didates—Judge Black of Pennsylvania and John Russell of Michigan—and put forth a lengthy statement of views. making legislative prohibition of the sale of in- toxicating drinks the leading principle. The Election. Though the final result was never really in doubt, a Somewhat exciting cam- paign took place. Mr. Greeley had done long and worthy service for his party and many were grieved at his defection. He carried through an energetic canvass, tak- ing the unusual step of making a series of stump speeches himself. His death before the meeting of the electors was believed to be due to his heart-broken disappointment at the result of the popu- lar election. The regular Republican ticket won with a large increase of the popular vote, due largely to the disorgani- zation_ in the Democratic party. That party had now reached its lowest ebb and seemed on the point of going irretrievably to pieces. Conflict of State Governments. The count of the electoral votes In February, 1873, gave rise to many dis- puted questions, the most important of Which were those pertaining to the State of Loulsiana. Political quarrels there had brought about the formation of two re- turning boards, each claiming to be legit- imate. The returning board had authority to canvass the votes cast and to reject those of all counties, or parishes, where illegal means had been used. Thus two | State Governments and two Legislatures, one Republican and one Democratic, wers declared elected and demanded recogni- tion by Congress, and two sets of eleetors forwarded Presidential returns to Wash- ington. After much discussion both sets of returns were finally rejected by vote of both houses. This was the first case to arise involving contests between two con- flicting State governments. We wers to hear more of them in after vears. JESSE MACY. Towa College. Joke Was on the Preacher. Rev. Dr. J. Wynne Jones, the well- known Presbyterian minister, pastor of the Highlandtown church, does not believe in worrying about the hot weather, and thinks about the best thing for church people to do in these warm days, when “pature woos the soul to languor,” is to keep cheerful. Rev. Dr. Jones was seen in a Charles-street bookstore yesterday by a reporter for the American, and Instead of talking about the weather, told a little joke on cne of the brethren of the min- me days ago,” said Reyv. Dr. Jones, “a weaithy church member died. and, al- though he was not regarded very highly by the congregation, yet the “minister thought him the beau ldeal of a_church Tomber, probably for his large financial donations. At ail events, the good min- ister was overcome when he heard of the death, and as he could nat break the sad news to the congregation from the pulpit, he wrote these lines, which he placed upon the front door of the church: ““Brother Frank left for heaven at & juring the afternoon a member of the congregation who did not share In the views of the pastor concerning the re- ligious character of the lately deceased brother, secured a telegraph blank and wrote the following, which was placed on the church door immediately ui r the note_written by the minister: “ “Heaven, § p. m.—Brother Blank has not yet arrived.
