IxHuAAx.-We clip the following
from our San Francisco dispatches,
a. we may be able to present case
analogous to it:
A drunken woman living on VAL
paraiso street, San Francisco, on Sat
urday afternoon beat her son, lad
Q years old. 30 severely that in his
terror he climbed out of q second
story window and dropped in the
space between the two houses. He
was jammed 90 tightly between the
walls thai to save him from suffcca-
tion carpenters had to cut away the
wallis to extricate him.
This woman committed the assault
upon her little son while under the
iufi0ence of liquor, when her brain
was really deranged, crazed from its
effects. This may be construed as
extenuating circumstances. But what
must one think of . man who, per-
fectly sober, allows bis children
the eldest being younger than the lad
mentioned in the dispatch-so remain
alone without fire or proper covering
in house having no doors or win
dows, suffering from intense cold,
such as We experience at this season
of the year, and instead of caring for
them retires to a warm bed in another
part of the town. You would say
brutal. Whist do you think Of a
man 10 Who assaults his wife, and
when suffering from abuse she for
gets her womanhood, becomes unrea-
sonably loud and boisterous and is
arrested; allows her to be locked up
In tine station house, while his chill
dren are again suffering from ex-
posure, cold and hungeri Who, when
his wife is tried by the Justice and is
committed to jail, stands by and per-
uifs this in default of trifiing bail
which, thanks to their nobility, is paid
by the generous hearted women Of
the town where she is incarcerated
and liberated What think you OF
such . mani Is there a word in the
English language which will convey
the depravity, the utter heartlessness
the abject meanness of such thing
for man be cannot BET Well, Silver
City, unfortunately, has within it
limits such a-brute, or did have.

GEN. E. W. RICE, of Iowa, is the
veteran hero and high prince of high
priced introductions. This veteran hero,
is the man who charged poor Mr.. G. s.
Evans one thousand dollars for intro
ducing him to Gen. Belknap, the highest
price which perhaps any one ever paid for
that felicity and honor. From this it
would appear that Gen. Belknap must
have been extraordinarily inaccessible,
and Gen. Rice had unusual influence over
him. There is nothing more absardly
contemplate in all the Washington scan
dal than this charge. What colossal ra-
pacity had Mr.. Price. Did he always
charge that fee, and was it his especial
business TO introduce strangers to the great
War Secretary. The desert plions given
by Gil Bias Of the rascality and corrup.
ton at the Court Of Madrid, were moi
greater than the corruption at Washing
ton. Gil tells that every body was bribed
at the Court of Madrid from the Prime
Minister down to the lackeys. So it is a
the Court of Washington. Gen. Belkn' I
supplied the tragedy, and Gen. E. w
Rice, of Iowa, supplies the burlesque.

GENERAL MERRITT who has just re-
turned from the Black Hills, says, the
gold yields at the best will not pay more
than wages, and wherever there seems to
be promising location, it is already COW
cred with experienced and practical gold
miners with whom the crowds Of people
going there now could not possibly COM
pete, even if they had chance. The men
who suppose they can become suddenly
rich by rushing to the Black Hills, ought
to consider calmly the statements Of intel
ligent and disinterested observers coming
from that valley of diamonds and hills of
gold. The fact is that not single relia !
BILE report has yet been received which d3es
not contradict the golden visions Of the
sanguine.

FROM the Pre-ident, down 10 fifteen
hundred dollar year salary, has been re-
duce,l. Tire reduction Of the amount of
the appropriation bill has been affected
by the Wholesale and indiscriminate de-
crease of the salaries of the employees of
the government. While the House is cut
ting down the salaries of all the employees
Of the government, it is proposing to give
away 100000 in the way Of additional
bounties to soldiers, whose claims against
the government have already been paid.
This is not good economy. If a Demo-
cratic House wishes to economic, or de-
sire to effect a permanent reform, and
wish to do it on correct principles, let it
do so by reconstructing the entire Civil
Service system.

THlG6tilation Of til kllsN Con- Uless
has su aenly been brought ints'iensilerse
ticn. II is but few -xeeks sincs, that for
the fint time the announcement was made
that the members of Congress have been
breathing an atmosphere 80 vitiatsd az to
seriously endanger the lives of number OF
them. 1t seems strange that it has been
reserved for Democratic House to dis
cover the fact Of this Congressional aftiic-
tion, when for many years the health Of
Congressman have undergone serious i'm
pairment from the cause 90 recently dis
covered.
The feeling Of alarm on the part Of the
members of the House is on the increase
in regard to the imperfect ventilation Of
the Congressional chamber. There is no
doubt that the cause of the sickness and
death of 20 many members Of the House
during the last few years may be attributed
to imperfect ventilation, and it is equally
clear that the immense congregation Of
idlers, black and white, that constantly
crowd the galleries have much to do in
creating the nuisance.

NE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES -


U6s week asSm tSa.y, Tho ST. elee.,
tion in Connscticstl takes passs. The
election will b. for Governor and ether
State officers, and for = Il islature which
will choose Senator to fill the unexpired
term of the late Mr.. Ferry, whose seat is
temporarily filled by Ex-Governor Eng
lish, also for a member of Congress in
the New London District to fill the place
Of Mr.. Starkweather also deceased.
The Democrats have the strongest
grounds for hope in Connecticut, and the
SUCCESS will give us another Democrat in
the United States Senate, and also one in
Congress. The little State has acted no
bly, in many elections for the Democratic
party, snd there is no reason to suppose
that in the one approaching she will dis
appoint us. Fol owing clo'ely upon the
heels Of the New Hampshire election,
which the political cunning of bribery and
dishonesty gave to the Republican party,
the Connecticut election il vested with no
ordinary amount Of interest. Already the
Republicans are working actively, but
against very strong counter current, to
which the money of that party is very
poor break. The votes Of New Hamp-
shire and those of Connecticut, are in
strange contrast, in this respect.
The POLITICAL records Of the States are
widely dissimilar, where money tells in
tke one, as we we'll know by recent occur
rences, honest convictions tell in the other.
The following is given as the result Of the
elections since and during 1867. "In 1867
the State elected a Democratic Governor
by majority of9S7. The next April it
elected Democratic Governor by ma
jority of 1875. But in the following No
vember it gave Grant majority Of 3,04l.
The State now became unstable inits poll
tics, and for four years the najsrities Of
the prevailing party at the April elections
were very small. In 1869 the Republ'-
licans elected the Governor by All, in 1870
the Democrats succeeded by S43, in 1871
the Republicans got bare plurality of
100, and in 1873 they obtained an abso-
lutte majority Of only rs. But in Novem-
ber Grant carried the State by majority
of4,319.
A permanent change then took place
in the State. At the last three April elec-
tons the Democrats have been successful
in the contest for Governor. They have
beaten the Republican Candidates by large
pluralities, while their absolute majorities
against all opposition have bean substan-
tia1. Last April the plurality Of Ingersoll,
Democratic nominee for Governor, over
Greene, Republican, was 9,4S9, while his
majority over the combined vote of the
Republican and Temperance candidates
was 6,53S. This, however, hardly exhib-
its the full Republican strength, for Greene
was personally unpopular. The vote on
members of Congress affords another test
The Democratic plurality on the aggre-
gate vote for the four membsrs was 8, ,795,
and the absolute majority 1,797."
