A Republican Choice.

THOMAS III. SELBY, ex-Mayor of San
Francisco, is mentioned by number
Of leading Republican journals as
their candidate for Governor. Mr..
SELBY would make strong candidate.
He is a man of great popularity and
influence in San Francisco, and his
politics are of that peculiar kind which
offends no one and may be supported
by almost every one. He is an ante
bellum Democrat, and since our un-
pleasantness he has had no politics of
his own, but has been claimed and
honored by the Republicans. His
large commercial interests identify
him to great extent with the Central
Pacific Railroad Company, and he has
always been regarded as one of the
especial friends of that corporation. 1t
is not probable Mr.. SELBY will accept
the nomination, as he is not one of
those men who like to assume task
which it is next to impossible to per
form.

VIM. Highly was elected Chairman.
A resolution was adopted that nomi-
nations be deferred until the next
meeting of the Convention, Saturday
evening next. Resolutions were
adopted, affirming the determination
of the convention to stand by the Re-
publican party, and asserting that the
discordant elements opposed to it have
no common principles on which they
can unite in maintaining the Govern
ment. A petition was presented con-
tanning eight hundred names, asking
for the nomination of one or more
women as members of the Board of
Education. After discussion o mo-
tion was adopted that two women be

time, before next meeting, to make
themselves acquainted with their mer-
its. The convention adjourned to

Associations of CaIifOrnia-Names of
the Trustees-The Articles of IncOr-
pOrnGi0n.

tFrom the S. F. Chronicle, February nth.
The Changers Convention was in
session all of yesterday and last eve"
ming. During the day the main
topic of discussion was the contem-
plated association. The debale during
the evening was upon other business
of private nature. The committee
appointed for that purpose announced
that one-fourth of the capital stock
had been subscribed. The following
articles of Incorporation were then
drawn up ond unanimously approved
bg the meeting:
Know all men by these presents,
that we, the undersigned, have this
day associated ourselves together for
the purpose of incorporating under
the laws of the State of California a
corporation to be known by the cor
porate name of the Changers Business
Association of California. And we
hereby certify that the purposes for
which this corporation is formed are
as factor and broker, and not other
wise, to deal in all kinds of agricul-
tura1 produce live stock, wood, agri-
cultural implements and general mer-
chandise.
Also, to ship grain and other mer-
chandise to and from foreign and do
mestic ports as factor and broker, and
not otherwise.
Also, to charter and load vessels to
and from foreign and domestic ports
as factor and broker, and not other
wise.
That its principal place of business
shall be in the city and county of San
Francisco, State of California.
Thot the time of its existence shall
be fifty (5o) years from and after the
date of its incorporation.
That the number of its Directors
and Trustees shall be eleven, and that
the names and residences of those who
shall serve until the election of such
officers and their qualifications are:
J. M. Hamilton, Lake county; j. c.
Merrifeld, Solano county; G. w.

That the capital stock of this corpo-
ration shall be one million 1,000,000)
dollars in gold coin of the United
States, divided into 10000 shares OF
the par value of $25 each.
This document was witnessed before
James L. King, notary public, yester-
day afternoon, and will to-day be
filed with the Clerk of the County
Court. Members of the Convention
express the opinion that more than
half of the capital will be subscribed
while the Changers are still in the
city. Nearly four hundred persons
have already taken stock. The Fruit
Growers Association met last eve-
ming and approved of the Business
Association. A sufficient number of
the wool growers have given their
consent in the convention to assure
the approval of that important agri-
cultural organization.

Going Ahead.

Now that active operations have
commenced on the Los Angeles and
Independence road both at Truxton
and in Cajon Pass, renewed confidence
is manifested in the successful carry
ing out of the enterprise. There is a
more general interest taken by all,
and the task of persuading people to
become stockholders in the road is not
SO difficult as some weeks ago. Engi-
neer CRAWFORD is pushing ahead
with his surveys as rapidly as the ma
ture of the work will permit, and eve-
rything indicates determination on
the part of the managers to redeem
the promise that the road will be COM
pleted to Cajon Pass within five
months from this date. If the people
render that assistance they should, the
road will be speedily built.

An Extra Session.

1t is now almost certain that the
country will be afflicted with an extra
session of Congress. This extra sess-
ion business ought never to come up
except in time of war. 1t is both ex-
pensive and dangerous. An extra
session will cost the people many
hundred thousand dollars, which
ought to be saved by the transaction
OF all necessary business during the
regular session. The danger consists
in the probability that in the enact
ment of necessary laws, bad bills will
be rushed through. On whom the
blame of creating the necessity for an
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-02-20

extra session should fall, it is difficult
to determine. 1t is charged upon the
Republican members of the House,
but everything is charged on the Re-
publicans nowadays; therefore, al
though they may be no more respon-
sible for the delay of business than the
Democrats or Independents, they are
made the scapegoat in this as in other
shortcomings. 1t seems impossible
that the requisite work can be got
through with between now and the
Sd of March, and hence an extra ses-
sion is necessary.

In Bad Condition.

The San Francisco Chronicte of the
18th is full of bitterness. The editor
writes like one just out of nightmare.
He abuses the citizens of New Orleans
without stint for rejecting the degrad-
ing compromise offered by a commit
tee of carpet.bag henchmen. He is
mad with the Changers for proposing
to attend to their own business. He
is In rage because BEEcHER smiled
in the Court House, and is perfectly
furious against the American District
Telegraph Company. His stomach is
out of order; he ought to take medi-

ARE WE LAPslNG INTO PAGANss

Some statistics not pleasant to COntem-
plate, but very suggestive, are furnished by
one Of our Iowa correspondents. They re-
late to Outrages UpOl women in that State
during the past six months. Newspaper
files show that ffty-seven cases Of this kind
have occurred in the period mentioned.
Ofthe perpetrators Of these Outrages, only
three have been brought 10 justice, and,
even Of these three, not one had a severe
punishment This is a sad commentary
on the condition Of Iowa justice. The
fault in that State appears to he excessive
tenderness Of heart on the part Of the peO-
pie who rule. Doubtless there will be
some amendment in this respect when the
question is seen to be between the safety Of
wives and mothers and the comfort Of
beastly men. The abolition Of capital
punishment is mainly responsible for the
present laxness and insuficiency Of GRIM
ipal prosecutions in the State.
