LINcoLN's CARINEr.

There is no manner of doubt that Mr..
Lincoln (whose appointment of Hon. Ed
ward Bates, of Missouri, rs member of
Cabinet is universally npproved) woald
gladly confer any position in that body
upon Alexander q. Stephens, of Georgia,
if he felt that the latter could accept it ms
statesman devoted to the preservation of
the Union at all hazards. That Mr..
Stephens is fully identified with the doc
trine that the Union was intended to be
perpetual, and that the Government ought
TO be maintained, there can be no doubt,
but the question whether he could take a
place under Mr.. Lincoln's Administration,
is left for him to answer.

Soon will be Determined.

Next Monday, the Democratic National
Convention will assemble at Charleston
Douglas will go into the Convention with a
majority Of the votes lie will so in as the
most available of all candidates for the nom
nation 1t will be to the interest OF the
South to nominate him, because OF his avail
ability. If. however, a sufficient number oi
ultus to prevent his getting a two-'hird'
vote should hold back, the will OF even
ldrge majority Of the Convention would be
defeated. unless indeed the two'thrds RUE
should be abrogatcd Under such c'rcum
stances it ought to be alrogate1. The party
should not he allowed to srder defeat, SIMPLY
because of Il two.thirds rule. 1t was bat
bare majority. in 1874, which established the
rule.-a mnicrftv. we believe. Of twenty.
True. tho rule had been adopted by previous
conventions but not to defeat the will of the
maiority. 1t was adopted in cases where
there was n clear majority in favor Of some
particular candidate, and it was urged that
10 make the nomination depend upon a
two-thirds vote would simply lie giving forth
"A stronger idea of unanimity in the Conven-

Of the delegates in 1874 (the period of which
we speak, were sent to the National Conven
tion as Van Buren men. Without the adop'
ton Of the two.thirds rule Van Buren mus

such a rule. the delegates who went ins,ruc-

i rule and voting Sufficiently long for NaI
Bureu to enable them to say that they hao
stood 10y him until further support of him
was without avail and that they then voted
for man who stood the chance OF n two
| thirds vote. Van Buren was defeated, by
the operation of the two thirds rule. becaus,
of his want of availability. The reason that
thi. rule should not apply to Douglas is be-
cause he is available. 1t was necessary to
adopt the two thirds rule in 1914 to prevent
the nomination of a man whom it was un-
safe for the party TO nominate. That rule
should now be abrogated, because it will
operate TO prevent the nomination of the
only man who can be elected on the Demo
cratic ticket in the next Presidential cam
paign. 1t was party expediency merely
which established the precedent in 1874
and party exprdiency should now set it
aside. Daniel 5. Dickinson, Of New York
opposed the adoption OF the rule in vehe-
ment speech in the Convention of 1874, on
the ground that it was fair, Just. proper and
Democratic to nominate by a majority vote
merely. What his views may now be

larlv GOOD lack There was no spree here,
but n Quiet grin of satisfaction on the eouute-
narees Of the yctors, for so they must now
be called. The irel.ds of the bill seem de
tcrmined to die with harness on their backs /;
they fought to have the consideration of the

The farce of again endorsing the poor old

A FaRcE.-Among the resolutions Of the
Assembly of California, sustaining the Pres
idents protest against the action Of the
House of Representatives, of the United
States, looking to his impeachment for cor
ruption &c, is the following:
RESOLVED, That they have reposed full conf
deuce in the Official and personal integrity u the
present Chief Magistrate Of the country, aud viii
continue to do SO until he shall be iupeachcd and
cuny cied OF treason, Or bcS or other high crimes
and mlsdemeanurs, IN the manner provided tr
In the Federal Constitution; aud they disregard
/ and rvbuke the wantnn assaults upon his personal
and Official integrity believing such assaults to be
| the emnnations Of unscrupuious politicians inca
ptbIe Of proof and without foundation IN fact.
1t is scarcely necessary to say that the As
sembly would have endorsed the President
just as readily, if he had fully aPprorea of the
action of the House of Representatives, as
'hoy do now. If he had said that that body
had perfect right to Inquire into his con-
duet, and that he courted investigation, in
stead of being afraid of it, they would have
declared londly that the House had right
to do what it was engaged in, but that the
President was innocent as an unshOrn lamb
As it is, they don't know whether the Prcsi-
dent is guilty or not, but they express the
determination to stand by him until he Is
"impeached and coayictcd" No matter what
the testimony may I've against him, uutil
he is actually impeached and eonpicted, they
will sustain him. Furthermore they believe
that the assaults upon 'Oll Buck are"the en-
emations Of inscriptions politicians who are
''incapable of proof, and without foundation

lous politicians They are incapable Of proof

HEALTH AND CoBBLE STONES. The San
Francisco Daily Evening Gazette remind.
its readers that, before the building Of the
present cities Of California, the inhabitants
enjoyed an almost perfect immunity from
diseases common to other countries. The
chronicles say that it was no rare thing to
find persons who had lived upwards Of a
hundred years and the editor of the Ga
zette bears witness to the fact that, in 1919,
woman, who had lived through three gen.
erations, rode on horseback from the Mission
Dolores to San Francisco, on a certain Sab
bath day, to see the improvements of the
Americans. The climate of San Francisco
is, by nature, particularly exempt from fe.
vers. let, at this lime fever. in the typhiod
form, is prevalent in a portion of the city.
1t seems, however, to lie confined to the
streets undergoing repairs, the rainy season
having moistened their rottenness. The Ga.
zette suggests preventative in the substitu
tion of cobble stones for plunking, and no
doubt the suggestion is good one.
