PERSONALITIES.

The Daily Alta, in a recent editorial
on the present State campaign in Cali
fornia. iaments the prevalence Of per-
sonalities and ISLANDERS. Of cutting slurs
and Misrepresentation, and asks, "can
we not have one decent, gentlemanly
contest in which principles shall be
the subject, the truth and argument in
s,ruments Of battle7" II the past furn-
ishes criterion for future action in this
respect, we fear that the laudable wish
of the Alta must go unfulflled. 1t is I'M
fortunate for the said principles that
such cannot be the case, for It would be
far better to have political issues dis
cussed and personalities and private
peculiarities ignored to far greater ex-
tent than at present. As far as our ex-
perience goes, man may be good
public servant and an officer Of great rec
titude. even though he commit the I'M
pardonable folly Of wearing dark blue
coat with bright brass buttons; and on
the other hand, due regard for the
usages Of society does not argue a capa-
bility for public business. We are Of
the opinion that one prominent reason
for this absurd aad silly practice OF
noticing and commenting on such trivial
subjects Is. that while 1t requires some
knowledge however limited-of the
principles and different public opinions
at issue to write with any degree Of sense
about them. any simpleton. the veriest
Jenkins fresh from bal-masque, can
scribble whole columns of invective in
suit and silly satire on certain person 8
style and habit. Little failings and
shortcomings are magnifed. and when
viewed through readers eyes, still further
distorted. Amid the glamor thus occa-
sion, the more important point is lost
sight of. For duo forbearance in this
respect the Alta deserves credit. When
it opens its mouth it generally has some
thing to say. and though the utterances
are often sadly at variance with political
truth. yet 1t scarcely descends to the
lower plan Of personal villification.

authority-that II that gallant general
had not been under the influence OF the
ardent. he might have attained his equi-
librium. In plain English, Warren was
drunk. A feeling OF glad relief comes
over US, when we reflect on the probable
effect at the recent celebration, il that
fact had been made public then. The
rigidly temperate Bostonians would have
been shocked ut the idea Of celebrating
his memory, an important feature Of the
affair would have been rendered null and
void, and a serious hitch might have oc.
cured in the otherwise successful dem.

TRuE.-Tbe San Diego Union says a
good deal in the following: 1--WE would
give more for one Independent voter, as
moral power, than for big 'Independ-
ent party" This is correct view of
the matter, and the only consistent one
that can be taken. Any attempt at or
ganization and formation OF party can
only result in defeat of the very pur-
pose for which the Independent is striy-
ing. 1t sounds well and looks influential
to talk Of an Independent party" but
there can be no fixed, permanent party
under that name. The Independent
voter finds himself necessarily in an
anomalous position. He consorts with
democrats to-day and Republicans to-
morrow. The bond of association con.
s's's not OF party tie or an allegiance, but
common desire and intent to put down
monopoly, corruption and official inca.
paclty. When this is done his mission
is accomplished. and il party organiza.
ton and influence is made paramount to
those desires and intentions, the indie.
pendent voter is reduced to the level q
the common intriguing politician, ant
eventually becomes amalgsmated will
the mass of chicanery and wirepulling
and his moral influence as mediativ
power is gone.

PLAIN TALK.

There is some hope for the Southern
tier Of sovereign commonwealths that
were on the losing side in the internecine
warfare that closed ton years ago. Ten
years is long time in the history of a
country like this. but it has taken that
time for certain class Of politicians to
discover few truths. some Of them trite
and all worthy of adoption. Ex-Governor
Scott, Of South Carolina, is the last in
dividual on whom the new light Of truth
has shone, and in letter recently given
wide publication. he utters some plain
truths. During his term OF Office land
while his pockets were empty he was
conspicuous for his greed, avarice and
hatred Of the best interests Of tho unfor-
tunate country over which he ruled. Now
he goes back on his former declara-
tions, and in this letter of advice to
the negroes he does some plain talking.
He thinks there are few people in the
United States who have any regard for
the negroes because they are negroes, or
because they have once been slaves. He
Ia Of the opinion that the war was not
fought by the North to abolish slavery.
but to establish and preserve the Union,
and that emancipation was declared more
as war measure to injure tho whites
than as philanthropic desire to benefit
the blacks. He considers the whole
system OF reconstruction a failure, es-
pscially giving universal suffrage to the
blacks, and thinks it probable the lead
ers Of public opinion both North and
South will be likely to ignore the negro
and his influence, and eventually elimin-
ate him from politics altogether. The
Ex-Governor Ia confident that the Demo-
cratic majority in the next Congress will
not do the interests Of the black race
any more harm than the Republic
cans were ready to do, and
sagely advises them to "cultivate
fraternal relations with all classes. !"
He thinks that many who were at one
time strongly in favor OF negro suffrage
are now ready to abandon il as an unsuc-
cesstul experiment. This, in his opiu'
ion, argues an ignorance Of human na'
ture, and in proof Of his idea. makes thu
undeniable statement that sit is not pos
sible to take man out OF cotton fielt
and make statesman out Of him.
After few more remarks Of the same
nature, he comes to his remedy, whicl
appears to be somewhat Of commercia
nature. He tells the darkies that a
parties are ON the make and warns them
If they are to become the subject c
barter. my advice to you is TO become
party to the sale yourselves" "Recen
events make II highly probable tina
great changes are soon to occur, not onl,
in the administration OF many of tn,
State governments, but in the admins
tration of the national Government 1t
self" This advice comes from a maj
who has made the negroes serve his pur
pose; he has filled his pockets, sees Their
is nothing more to be made out Of them
and with q commendable degree o
philanthropy, he tells them some whole
some truths. His remarks. on thu
whole, are worthy of practical assent an,
illustrate the state of things pretty clear
ly. He has all he wants and can nov
assume the role of mentor and guardian
with degree of indifference.

Is Trial by jury failure? 1t has
long been the impression of some
thoughtful observers and writer's in
this country and in England, that a
modification of the ancient law is de-
sirable. In most civil cases, a jury
trial is less likely to secure even jas
tice, than a submission to the expert
enced and balanced judicial mind.
The most important issue in respect Of
property that can arise in our courts,
is tried before single judge without
a jury--and within week our Surro-
gate has rendered an elaborate opin-
ion in will case involving millions
of dollars, and with such thorough.
ness and circumspection that his de-
cision upon questions of fact Is ac-
cepted without murmur.
