Is 1T A JOB +?

The course Of Gorham, Carr & Co..
in the late Republican State Conven>
ton at Sacramento, must create no lit
tie surprise. An anti-monopoly plank
was inserted in the platform, and Cor
ham took occasion to denounce the
Central Pacific Railroad management
In a speech Of great length and remark
able bitterness. Now, the question
arises, whether this was not a put up
job to hoodwink the people. According
to q dispatch to the Cold Hill Nesos,
the impression prevailed at the Capital
that it was. We entertain the opinions
however, that the break is genuine and
permanent, at least for the present cam
paign. Stanford, being, shrewd a
ipulator, is not likely to identify HIM
self prominently with the weak side.
Hefully appreciates the situation of the
Republican partyin California;; sees, or
thinks he does, that it is in a hopeless
minority, and per consequence can be
Of no further use to him. Under such
circumstances, it is the most natural
thing in the world shat he should
cut lose from his old political associates
with the view of casting the fortunes of
the railroad with one Of the other par
ties. BY this move the Republican
party is deprived, to a great extent, Of
the /" sinews of war necessary to
carry on the campaign, and Gorham
and Carr and Sargent, as might have
been expected, get angry and kick out
of the monopoly traces. That this is
the correct solution of that little squab-
BILE at Sacramento, hardly admits off
doubt. Which of the other two parties
Is to fall heir to Governor Stanford and
the influence OF the railroad, remains
to be seen, but is it more than an even
bet that he willturn up with the winning
side. After all, would it not be funny
If Gorham and Carr turned out to be
the great anti-monopoly apostles of the
Golden State. Verify does politics
cause people to cut very strange capers
sometimes.

ROUGH ON SoMEBoDY.-In the Re-
publican Convention of the Third
Congressional District of California,
held in Yolo county, the other day, one
Of the delegates from the northern tier
OF counties got his back up and used
language that was a great deal more
forcible than elegant. He wanted Jesee
o. Goodwin (brother Of G. c., Of ours)
nominated, instead of DEMO. In adj
vocating his views, he said the north
ern section Of the district had been in
the habit of allowing the southern &C.
ton to dictate the nominee; and, as a
result, the candidate put forward had
several times been beaten by "some of
the d-dest scrubs that could be scared
up" The Sacramento Herald thinks
this was . little rough on Luttrel.

ANOTHER PRIZE FIGHT.

Storey county has been delighted
with another prize fight. These last
bruisers are of the lightweight order.
One OF them is All Englishman and the
other is All Irishman. The name OF
the Britisher is Harris, that of the Celt

witnessed the battle. The contest was
brief but spirited. Fourteen rounds
were fought, when Lynn threw up the
sponge. At the beginning Harris
came near being knocked out of time,
but he finally recovered his second
wind and pushed the fight to the close.
There was not a great deal of money
bet on the result, principally because,

GERS should not be compelled o go out
of town to witness these harmless ex-
hibitions.

PIxLEY II PINNEY.

The Sacramento papers are coming
along with some of the preliminary
skirmishes of the late Republican State
Convention in that city. Frank Pix.
ley, who does the heavy editorial work
Of the San Francisco Chronicle, was
there, and SO was George M. Pinney,
another distinguished patriot Of the
Bay City. Frank was not a delegate,
but he went sloshing around OH the
outside, expressing very freely his
views of the situation. At one stage
Of the proceedings he swore that the
oficeholders were running the Con-
vention, to which charge Pinney un-
hesitatingly demurred. A war of an
cry words ensued, during which Pix
ley as serted that Pinney was an office
holder; whercat, the latter became
greatly exasperated, and a collision
vas only prevented by the interference
of the b~ystanders. As they were swept
apart Pixley called out, "Say, Pinney,
how did you get up here? You couldn't
get elected a delegate-did any body
give you a proxy?" Pinney promptly
replied, swell, you're not a delegate,
and you couldn't get a man in San
Francisco who would give you a
proxy" And thus, after these home
thrusts, the d~isputants retired to
mingle in the seething, buzzing throng
congregated at the capital. From all
accounts, that was a warm convention.

GRANT SPEAKS.

After years OF silence, under the
repeated and continued agitation of
the press of the country on the sub.
ject OF third term of the Presiden-
CIV for General Grant, that gentle
man has at last been induced to
express his views on the subject in
a letter to the President of the
Pennsylvania Republican State Con-
vention. The document is quite
lengthy, and, if it is anything, it is
non-committal on the third term
question. General Grant says that
his acceptance of the nomination at
first, carried with it sacrifice OF
position as the head of the Army,
and was only made from sense of
duty to what his party deemed the
welfare of the nation. His first
term ended, his reno mination and
election for a second term, though
not sought for, was not distasteful
to his pride, coming as it did with
the overwhelming approval of the
people of the United States. He
says his Administration, while de-
serving at times of the adverse crit
icisms of the anti-Administration
party, has been conducted conscien-
tiously and to the best of his ability;
that while he does not seek the
nomination third time, and while
it is improbable that his party will
deem it necessary to the welfare of
the country that he should accept it,
and serve if elected, there IS no
precedent yet established limiting
the number of Presidential terms
one man shall serve if called upon
by the people. He says he has
quietly submitted to the abuses
hesped upon him through the OPP
position press, believing it beneath
the dignity of Chief Executive to
notice it, but believes that the time
has come when it is proper and
right for him to express his views
on this question Of a third term.
Altogether, the document is one we
would naturally expect to emauate
from the President, and while 1t
may not satisfy some, we apprehend
the Presidents friends will find no
fault with it.

MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES

Los Angeles, May 3l.-Consider-
able feeling is manifested here over
a letter in last Saturdays San Fran
cisco Post, which takes ground that
Senator Jones proposes to build a
city at Santa Monica, which will
ultimately destroy Los Angeles.
The fact that the Post is reported the
property of Senator Jones, gives
color to the impression that it is
speaking er cathedra.

AVERAGE HUMANITY.

The average man and woman of
this progressive age are the morsels
of Gods creation who are permitted
to plod along through the world in
peace-free from the honors and
taints of public discussion, and I'M
molested even by the criticisms
of their nearest fellows while he
or she whose God-given talents,
beauty, wealth or culture have
placed them on the social plane
ABOVE mediocrity or they whose de-
generate minds, degraded souls and
unlicensed habits have thrust them
so depth BELOW the average, are
the ones at whom the shafts of criti-
cism, private and public, are hurl-
ed. Extreme wealth, extreme piety
and extreme beauty are alike placed
on the inquisitorial rack. and the
results by which that wealth has
been attained, or the motive for
which that religious cloak is don
ned, or the purpose to which that
beauty is loaned, are called into
frequent question. Not by the
man or woman of average talent,
average beauty. average piety or
average wealth-but almost unex-
ceptionally by those occupying the
opposite extreme, and sometimes by
those occupying social position
equal in all these distinguishing at
tributes. The average man and
woman are content to BE average.
They escape much of this worlds
trouble. They live, move and labor
in a separate social sphere-a mi
crocosm which neither extreme
cares to invade, and whose comforts,
loves and labors are more genuine
and more lasting. The average
man goes along through the business
Of life systematically and surely,
envying none above him, despising
none below him, and content to
reap what he sows. without wish
ing to harvest the crop Of prosperity
which geater wealth and greater
talent have brought to their fields.

mond of exceedingly purity in all
that enobles woman--the love of
home, husband and children. She
has no jealousies, save of her own
good name, and not being above the
average in comeliness of face or
form she has no rivals who are con-
stantly attempting to disparage her
attractions; while she that possesses
a noticeable beauty carries target
at which the missiles of envy are
constantly hurled-a jewel which
places the greater jewel of virtue
in hazard, and the brilliancy of
which must finally fade. The av-
erage beauty needs no care, can be
worn in safety and free from envy,
and when faded looks fully as we'll
as the extreme. The average man
and woman who see in the creations
of God and His constantly descend
ing blessings, something to enjoy
and not something to pine and con-
tinually pray over, are religiously
average. To them example is great
er than precept; sincerity rates
higher than ostentation. Life
and its blessings is to them a
sermon greater than the flow of elo-
auent words from cushioned pull
pitts and surpliced priests. They
live and enjoy the good things of
earth, and thank God for it by their
actions towards one another, in
stead of mincing over the Injuries
of life with an excuse to their
Creator for each morsel they feel
