T.f rtisnatnhes from Madrid show
that deep dissatisfaction prevails against
the rule -of iho newly selected Italian
King, Aniadeus. In a recent session of,

boldly moved the establishment of a.
Republic, while the friends of - Don
Carlos evidenced their contempt of the
present King by proposing a declara
tion that' the election of . Aniadeus is
void, and that Don Carlos is the right
ful King. These "straws" indicate
pretty strongly that the reign of Arca
de us .on the Spanish throne ia drawing
to a, closer and that the struggle for the
succession . has already commenced. A
strong Government would certaioly not
tolerate, such treasonable utterances iu
its chief legislative body.
The San Francisco Chronicle says that

ot atate at Sacramento on the- 23d of
May capital stock, $60,000,000. The
incorporators are composed of the lead
ing capitalists of San Francisco, and of
some of the "heavy" men of Europe, who
represent the capital necessary to build
the road. It is announced that work on
the rood will bu shortly commenced, all
the capital having been subscribed for,
and it is thought more than probable
that within two years the traveling pub

The Treaty of Washington left New
York by the Ininan Line on last Sunday,
for the purpose of exchanging ratifica
tions. Minister Schenck will receive it
three or four days after his arrival in
England, and the exchange of ratifica
tions will be completed in three or four
geeks. Tho process of the exchanging
of ratifications seems still understood
that two copies of the treaty were signed
by the Commissioners, one of which was
vent at once to London, and one placed
before the Senate by the President. The
Senate -having consented to the treaty,
the President and Secretary of State at
tach thoir signatures to the copy, and
when Minister-Schenck receives it he will
exchange this copy having the signature
of the President lor the other copy which
will be signed by the Queen. When the
exchanged copy has been received it will
be promulgated by the President in a
proclamation, aud its provisions will
then be fully in force.
. From the latest advices received from
California, we are led to believe that
the crops will be something better than
anticipated a month since, but there is
no hope that there will even he half a
crop under the most favorable circumstan
ces. In some portions of the State, after
the wheat had headed out, hot weather
prevailed, preventing the 'grain' from
filling, and drying up the stalk entirely.
All indications just now point to good
prices here in Oregon for all the surplus
wheat our farmers may have to ' dispose
of this season. p
Tragedy i.v Wasco County. Ac
cording to the Bulletin, a tragedy was
committed in Wasco county on Monday,
on the road between Dalles and Hood
river, in the vicinity of 31 osier - creek,
eleven miles from the Dalles. Two old
settlers, named Cleary and McClure had'
a difficulty about a piece of land. Cleary
went to McClure's house and shot him
through the groin. Before surgical -as-,
eiatance could be obtained the wounded
man bled to drath. A son of , McClure,
a "young man of twenty-four years of age,
on Seeing his father fall, drew his rifle
on Cleary and shot - him through ; the
brain, killing him instantly.; MrMc
Clure was a quiet and peaceably disposed
citizen who was' universally ; respected.
Cleary had been a soldier, and was some
times quarrelsome, but was generally es
teemed a good citizen. ' The men were
perfectly sober at the time." The .piece
of land about which . they disputed - was
almost valueless. -Young McClure in
tended to Surrender himself to the law
authorities. - The terrible affair created
much excitement aad sorrow. Cleary

The case of Bumuerflcld.
Under this caption thai Sacramento
CaioH of May 20th publishesan explana
tion, of the SutntuerSeld murder, which
occurred last October, on the Central
Pacific Railroad, at a point known as
Cape Horn. It purports to be a state
ment or confession of a late distinguished
lawyer of Sau Francisco, Leonidas Par
ker, made just before his death lately
in tnat city,, and 19 to I the effect, that
ke,'Parker, pushed Gregory Summerfield,
or as he was called at the time, "The Man
with a Secret. from the platform of the
car into the abyss ; In the written sate-
aent published m the Cnion, Parker
gives as his reason for the murder, that
Summerfield had made a discovery by
which he was able to ignite water, and
burn it up as easily as one would ignite
dry stubble with a lucifer ; that Sum
merfield made several prominent men in
San Francisco aware of bis secret, and
after proving .to their entire satisfaction
that he could ignite water, by burning
up a basin' full, and also a small lake
a few miles , from San Francisco, he de
manded that they should pay him the
modest sum of $1,000,000 for bis secret,
threatening if the money was not forth
coming he would' set the ocean on fire,
and destroy the world j that these gentle
men set ont to raise the money by subscrip
tion, and did succeed in raisins the half
Of - it, " but" io epito of the calamity that
was to befall San Francisco and the bal
ance of mankind should Summerfield be
allowed to put into execution his terrible
threat, the balance of the money could not
be raised, and as a last resort it was deter
mined to kill Summerfield, and let his
secret die with him ; that these worthy
and prominent men selected Parker, to
put Summerfield out of the way, and that
in pursuance of this end, Summerfield
was made to believe that the remainder
of his demand could be easily raised In
New York city! that Parker in com
pany with Summerfield, on their way by
rail to New York, and when they had ar
rived at Cane Horn. Summerfield was
induced, by a pretense of observing more,
closely the scenery at that poiut, to tale
a position on the platform of-tho car,
from whence he was easily burled down a
gorge of 1,700, feet. . j
For this crime Mr." Parker was taken
before a Juscice of the Peace, and al
though the proofs of murder were plain,
he was acquitted. It is really a , well
written stoiy, and its author should have
the credit of having written the most
splendid hoax that has appeared in print
lurjrears. - -

The Treasury Department defends its
retention of so large a surplus (over $100,
000,000) of gold with the statement that
nearly all of it is liable to be called out
by overdue obligations of the covernment.
Thus, coin certificates $20,000,000. in
terest 831,000,000, three per cent, certif
icates $39,000,000, matured debt nearly
$4,000,000, making a grand total of $94,
OOU.OOO. . Of coarse, there is no scriuus
probability of a large portiotr of , these
obligations being presented for payment ;
but if the Treasury should part with its
means to meet tbem, , there would be
great temptation for a strong combination
of speculators, inimical to the Govern
ment, and seeking to make a big break in
tho market prices of its securities, to
gather up all of these obligations possible
aud thrust them upon the Treasury with
a sudden demand.

To the Editor of the New York Times:
In your S paper of the 7th instant, re
ferring to the time 'made by a horse be
longing to -exsGovernor Stanford, of
California, you say: "According to Cali-
turnia authorities, Mr. Bonner must buy
this wonder or see Dexter's performances
eclipsed." In a previous number of the
Timet you had printed tho renuted ex
ploits of this "wonder," as be is termed.

? Now I, have two horses in my itable
that have trotted half a mile in one
minute and six seconds, and one horse,
Dexter, that has trotted half a mile in
public in one minute and five seconds.
Dexter has trotted half a mile to a road
wagon in one minute six and a half sec
onds. So you see that if the California
"Wonder" is to throw dust in my eyes as
the article which you copy Bugestsr it
can only be from present appearances,
when the wind blows from behind. 'I
not only expect but hope some day to see
Dexter's time beaten. I have twe or
three horses myself which if they dd
anything near what bas been prophesied
of them, ought to beat his time and I
paid more tor one of f hem than I paid for
Dexter, but I-h ave been looking so lung
to see his time beaten and the public
have been so often assured that it was
about to be beaten that I confess I
have almost got tired of waiting, aud I
do not think the prospect is particularly
encouraging when it is not even preteud
ed that the last "wonder" brought for
ward to beat him can trot as fast to a
light sulky as he bas trotted to a road
wagon. Robert Bon neb.
Agriculture in Portugal- Port
ugal now contains, as is estimated, a popu
lation of four millions, distributed over
twenty-two trillions of acres. Not more
than five millions of acres are under cul
tivation, and of these more than one-half
is devoted to cereals, Indian corn being
tbe staple. Next to. the cereals, olives
and grates are thA leading agricultural
products. The grain crop has been val
ued at 828,750,000, the wine crop at
$40,000,000, the olive crop at 82,500,
000. and other fruits and vegetables at
89,000,000. The annual value of all
vegetable products is estimated at 890,-
000,000, and animal products at $25,
500,000, or a total value of agricultural
products at 8115,000,000. Northern

Grasshoppers. The Santa Barbara
Prets of may 6th says ; "-Frou Mr. El
wood Cooper we learn that tbe army of
grasshoppers, about twelve miles of
town, is- stca.iily moving toward Santa
15artrara, and bas already gone a half 1
mile, sweeping everything before theut
1 hey hatch out in certain portions of
roiling aud billy laud, and the area thus
infested will amount to about five thous
and acres. 1'he only remedy seeuw tobe
to plow up the land where the eggs are
deposited. JUany may be destroyed by
otner methods, but this one will destroy
them all." -
NEW TO-DAY.
A bouthei 11 paper says : "Yesterday
was a severe day on concealed weapons.
The winds, holding rouuh dalliance with
bifurcated coat-tails, exposed to the eager
eyes ot policemen the ivory handles of
bowies, pistols and toothpicks." .
Love. With love, the heart becomes
a fair aud fertile garden, glowing with
sunshine aud warm hues, and exhaling
sweet odors; but without it, it ia a bleak
desert covered with abes.
Two ladies on a Missouri railway train
got their babies mixed, and could not
tell them apart. They tossed up a cent
to decide the matter.
' Hudson, New York, proudly claims
the "champion angle worm eater," who
defies competition, and there's no one
found bold enough to dispute his cluiiu.
The French' style of betting is quite
novel, it tne lady loses, she gives tho.
gentleman what she chosen; if tbe gen
tleman loses, ho gives her whatever she
asks for. ' . ,:,
