The movement of the entire body Of
Democrats in the United States Senate
over to the Butler forces, in confirming
the nomination Of his creature for Col.
lector of the port of Boston, and that,
too, in the face Of its condemnation by
the two Senators from Massachusetts, and
seven of the Representatives is the most
significant political event of the season.
Interpreted by the lights reflected upon
it from this distance, it implies that the
Democrats are bidding for an alliance
with the Butler wing of the Republican
party, not merely in the State of Massa-
chusetts, but everywhere, and particular
ly at the South; and that Butler is to be
assisted by the Democracy of Massachu-

SAN FRANCISCO, March 6.-The State
Senate to-day passed bill authorizing
the juries in trials for murder to say in
the verdict whether the penalty Shall
be death or imprisonment in the peni-
Tertiary for life.
The mass meeting held at Platt's Hall
tonight to sustain the action OF the
County Judge in his late charge to the
Grand Jury against the Mayor and the
Treasurer OF this city for breach of that
part of the Consolidation Act relating to
the custody and disbursement of the
public funds, was largely attended, the
hall which holds $500, being densely
packed. The meeting was called to order
by the Hon. Samuel Soule, who nomi.
mated Judge 5. c. Hastings as Chair
man. The Chairman spoke at some
length relative to the necessity
OF unfolding that part of the
Consolidation Act governing the
collection, management, custody and
disbursement of the public fluids. He
said that no discretion in the matter
should be allowed to any official, no
matter how high his station or honest
his motives. The speaker warmly eulo.
guised Judge Stanley's action in the
matter, and proceeded to trace the bank

err cities to the neglect and disregard Of
such laws by those having the custody
of the public funds. He concluded by
hoping law would be 50 formed that
any official guilty Of placing public
funds in any bank, except as a special
deposit, shall be sent to the Penitentiary.
Hon. S. Soule also expressed the same
sentiments.
Henry E. Highton then proceeded ut
length, and with great force an ability,
to lay the case before the meeting, COM

broken or not. He proceeded to show

outstanding, ths money waanot depos-
tied in the treasury, and it did belong to
the city. Certified certificates represen-
ted money due to the city and county,
and not to the State. and as no separa-
ton had at that time been made, no
special deposit had taken place, and
therefore the certificates OF deposit SIM
ply meant that the bank owed the Tax
Collector the sum Of money named, and
had the bank failed the city would have
certainly lost the money. There has
been inaugurated system of collection,
custody and disbursement of the public
moneys which, in the hands OF dishonest
men would have ruined the city. The
money In question had not been lost,
owing to the bank remaining solvent.
Mr.. Highton alluded to the national loss

The PULsE.-A heal,hful. grown per

A DANCERS Ton. How many people
who go TO see the great spectacular plays
of the day think of the unceasing toll,
the hard, uninterrupted muscular labor
which are the lot of the graceful ballet
dancer? There is no day laborer whose
life is SO laborious as that OF the dancer,
for the skill originally attained through
long-continued and painful effort can be
retained only by wearisome, though per-
haps painless, work. II this aspect OF
the ballet girls life was more frequently
thought of, there would be less Of the
thouphtless popular assumption that she
is ordinarily immoral and dissolute. The
very condition of her professional life
require her to preserve her health uDim-
paired by dissipation; and if hard work
is an artidote to temptation, she is GER
tainly triply armed. Indeed, the art of
dancing has been employed by certain
ascetcs as safeguard against tempta.
ton, and it was with this view that the
dancing ceremonies of the Shakers were
devised by their founder, Mother Ann
Lee. The public dancer certainly does
not lead luxurious life, and rarely n
dissolute one. Let us at least do her
Justice when We gaze on her graceful and
hard.taught gymnastics.

TRUE.-We copy from the New York
Post an article on Provincialism, -
which strikes out new and useful line
of thought for Eastern men, and especi-
ally for those who conduct Eastern
newspapers. The Post takes for its text
the supercilious comments of the East
ern pap rs on the appointment Of Chief
Justice Waite, and reads its cotempor-
aries of the Atlantic seaboard a lesson
in manners, which is much needed now.
1t is quite time that the Eastern States
should learn that they do not. by any
means, enjoy a monopoly Of the ma
TONS intellect and enterprise. For
generations the Youngest, freshest
blood, the keenest inteiects, the most
pushing and adventurous spirits of
the New England and Eastern States
have been drifting westward, and all
the thriving cities and towns Of the West
have among their best classes reprc-
sentatives of the best blood and cui-
ture of the East. This element, COM
ing in contact with Western and South
ern people, exerts an improving infu-
ence, and is lioeralizsd and improved in
return. Say what yon may, the highest
style of the thoroughbred American citi-
zen is the man who is born and bred
west Of the Alleghanies. Boston and
New York have higher culture and more
luxury than the West can yet show, but
even in literature it is we'll for the East
to consider that the conductors of the
leading American periodical. and the
leading American newspaper, William
Howells and Whitelaw Reid, first saw
the light of day and received their edu.
cation in the Buckeye State. Another
matter the East should study with care:
Each succeeding census shows that the
political power of the nation is now loca-
ted in the West, and that the preponder-
ance already existing will increase every
year. The Atlantic States will soon be
suing for favors at the hands of the West,
and. in view of this, it i'll becomes the |
men Of the East to educate themselves
into the habit Of belittleing Western af-
fairs. 81 st. Louis Democrat.
