WAHUINGTON , D. 0. , January 4. Glaus Sprockets , the San Francisco sugar king , Sandwich Island sugar planter , purchaser of crown land * , and prime favorite of .King Kalakaua , has como to grief , and brought misfortune upon his royal patron. The fact is also , that hia majesty has fal len into habits of extravagance. His contact with European monarcha dazzled him , and made him feel his royal oate. As a consequence , ho had himself crowned some time ago , the coronation ceremonies costing a trillo.ot $7 ,000or thereabout * ) . It is ono > of the court scandals that the crown has < not been paid for. The king haa long sighed to have hip imago and superscription on a coin of his realm , but not < until the lust session of the legisla ture could ho overcome the objection to it. An aet was passed authorizing the rocoinngo of all silver coin then in the troauurybut guarding against any greater isauo by imposing a duty of ton percent on silverT Thou , to roplonioh Jvn 'OX- hausted exchequer , the king negotiated with 'Claua ' Spreckolo a loan of a million dollars. For this , coupon bonds wore to issue bearing six cunt interest , and payable hnUnitod States gold coin or its equivalent. The loan was authorized by law. law.Mr. Mr. Sprockols , by arrangement with the minister of France , caused $130,000 to bo 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 December , ult. , some taxpayers petitioned Chancellor Judd of the supreme premo court for a mandamus requiring the minister of nuance to accept only gold coin or its equivalent , and not to accept half dollars worth only forty-one centa each. The mandamus was granted on December 14 , and an appeal taken. Great excitement prevailed in Honolulu. And private advices of the 15th , received hero , are to the effect that there is dan ger of revolution in case the king ohoulc be induced to override the action of the court * There in a good deal of talk'about a special session of the legislature , but this the king is believed to fear , as the public pressure would almost certainly proven the legalizing of bis deal with Sprockels Ho cannot borrow nnywhoro else will his present ministry araund him. He must back down , change his ministry , or be overthrown. Should the latter fate befall him lie would almost certainly bo succeeded by Queen Emma , widow of Kumehamelii IV. She is thooducatedandaccomnluliec daughter of Doctor Rook , an Knghshmai of note , by a Hawaiian lady. Her accea sion would bo an Eugliah advantage. The crisis through which Kulukaua is passing will break'tho power of Claus Spreckele who has BO absolutely controlled him ai to Becuro , by favorable purchase 40,001 acres of crown lands , the sale of whicl was expressly prohibited by law , nnc who also obtained a monopoly of the biu ness of transporting immigrants from ) hina to the islands , in violation of the reaty with this country , which forbids any denial to any American of privileges granted to others. Our government recently sent a com mission out to Honolulu ostensibly to in quire into the violation of the rights of > tliorsengaged in the carrying trade , who lad complained that they were excluded Tom the traffic | enjoyed by Sprecklos. Pho number of Chinese immigrants al- owed to bo brought in is limited to 200 > er month. It is thought that our commission - mission had instructions a great deal > reader than this , however.

Millionaire Brotlicrn AVIio Ijovo Gold Bettor Than They Knch Oilier. Washington Letter to the Clet eland Loader. Caleb and Joe Wilhtrd nro among the wealthiest of Washington'o 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 \Vlllard brothers are many times millionnaircs , 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 Joe Willard is one of the characters of Washington. All sorts of dories are told about him , and ho is often denominated the hermit. Ho lives on { Fourteenth street , near the Ebbitt house , in a great brick of dirty white , which looks "like a tomb with its tightly closed blinds and its forbidding exterior. Ho haa a wife , but never .goes into society , and he is thought l > y mauy to bo a man-hater. A negro Boryimt always answers the door , and it is impossible to gain admittance. Re- 'contly I called on him at hia business den. Going through a narrow passage over an uneven , dilapidated door I was shown by the negro janitor up a pair ol stoop stairs , and soon stood m 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 over looked into mine , rose from an old chair as I entered. Tall , digniticd and rather good looking. I thought him , aud I noted his great bushy white brows overhanging his eyes , hia big noaa and stroiic jaws , lie wm ii a talkutivo mood and , like many other rich men I know- , his hobby was making money. Ho discoursed for an hour ot Jay Gould , Vanderbilt and others , giv ing me interesting passages in their careers and interlarding his remarks now aud then with a rnetalip laugh. Joe Willard's office is a peculiar place lit wall is cracked , and the oldest o : 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 cost , 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 n r rug , and ago shows many a crack On the wall above the mantel are numerous newspaper clippings about wealthy men and how they acquired their millions.

The Story ot I'ayiiu'H Del oat in 1JKV1 How "Wnde , Tlion Unknown , Ouuio to bo Elected. Washington Coiroepondonco ot Mio Leader. There is great excitement hero ovcc < the Ohio senatorial contest , and it is the ge neral topic of conversation. Various ad vices , confidential and otherwise , show that u remarkable change is going on , throughout the democracy over the etato in favor of Pondlnton. Major Tolford , who has .just returned from Columbus , says tljat ho knows several legislators who when elected wore pledged to vote against Pondloton , but who are now receiving letters from these who wore most active in working against Pondloton , urging that he bo < elected by all mean * over Payne. This change , says ho , is general , and not local. Reese G. Richards , lieu tenant governor of the state , corroborates this statement in regard to certain locali ties , kud says'tho fight will bo very close indeed. "I should not bo surprieed , " said he , "to BOO Thurman's big Roman nose stuck into the fight before it in over. Ho hue gone west to bo out of the road , and where ho will bo loft in the hands of his friends. His friends , I think , will push hiui forward'U ' it is apparent that ho can bo elected. Still , notwithstanding all this , the ge neral sentiment here is that Henry B. Payne Iian the inside track and that Uio influences are at work which will secure his election , "But tLero .is . many a ship , Tnrixt the cup and the lip , " and Mr. Payne lias already oxperiencoc this in time * past in relation to the United States senate. HOW WAUB JJECAMB KCNATOK. Ex-Governor Dennison , now dead , tolt mo a few yearn ago the histury of Payne's first senatorial contest. Said ho : "In 1851 a senator was to b elected in Ohio , and Henry B. Payne was the can didato of the democratic party whoa the legislature mot. Hiram Grin void , o Stark county , led the whig * . The legis laturo was so constituted that neitker the whig nor the democratic party couh elect without the assistance of the free Soil"or anti-slavery members. Thcao hold the balance of power , but were , i anything , raoro favorable to the whigi than to the democrats. I had boon u member of the jouato for the two yoari preceding , but was not at this time. The balloting started put with Payne away ahead , and it continued so off and on for twenty-four ballots , scattering votes being - ing cast for Ewing , the elder , Joshua R. Giddings , Sherlock J. Andrews , Tom Corwin , and others. On the twenty-fifth ballot Bon Wade's name was presented to the assembly , nnd on the twenty- seventh ho was elected. "Just before Wade's " nanio "was pro posed Senators Converse , of Muskingum , and Vinal , of Clarke , called upon mo for consultation. They said the situation was such that it was impossible to elect Gris- weld or any other whig unless they could got the votes of the anti-slavery members of the legislature. They tola mo that Judge Wade had , beonsuggosted as a good compromise candidate , but it ao happened that no whig member of the legislature know him personally. They wanted my advice as to what they should do in the premises. I told them I would consider the matter And lot thorn know within an hour , "On our mooting at my ofiico at the appointed time , I told them my personal acquaintance with Judge Wade was limit ed to a single interview with him during ho presidential campaign of 1848 , when , icing a member of the whig state central ommittoo , I went to the Rosoryo to moot rlr. Ford , then whig candidate for governor , and other gentlemen in the rarest of General Taylor , our candi date for the presidency and it was on this subject that I wont to Ravenna to see Judge Wade , ho having been a warm supporter of General Taylor. 1 said to Messrs. Converse nnd Vinal that so favorably was I impressed with Judge rVado'a manliness in my conversation with him that I was prepared to advise , hem and all my whig friends of the log- slaturo to give him their hearty support 'or the senate. At their request I called mmodintely upon the leading whig mom- 3om and urged them o to voto. Some of ; hem hoaitatod became of their fear of his extreme anti-shivery views. To this I replied that without any authority from Judge Wade and without any espe cial knowledge on the subject to which they referred , I would take the respon sibility , as far as one could under the circumstances , that if Judge Wade were elected ho would do and not do certain things , and I further said that I would communicate to Judge Wade immediate ly the pledges I had made for him , loav- it to his sense of honor to redeem the pledges , This was accented by objecting members as sufficient. The result was from these assurances and other inilu onces common on such occasion , Urn Wade wax immediately elected by combi nation of votes of the whij and the free soil members of the legislature , I wrote immediately to the judge , who was thei holding court at Akron , informing him in detail of the circumstances connectei with the election , of my pledgca in hi behalf , ta which ho promptly replied expressing hia thanks for my 'friendly ofliccs , and saying that had ho been 01 the ground ho would have made over pledge directly that I had made for him I would only odd that ho faithfully ro doomed every pledge by his votes am aoU in the Bonato of the United States , " Such ia the history of Henry 11.

Herr Ohowlson , profcs- orof phyaicH at the university of St. Petersburg , has written nu article on the in which ho ' 'In Its ubjoct , says : re markable simplicity this invention can nly bo compared with the JablochkoiT ystom of electric lighting. The watches are witheut any springs , and consist olely of two wheels. Besides being true , hey have the advantage of the Bocond ' land maving in'momentary leaps , as is usually the cose only in very costly watches , and which is of the utmost util ty for astronomical observations. Those watches can also set in motion a certain lumber of watches of the eamo con- truction , op that they all keep exact ime.
