The New York "Sun," which has
Of late been an unfriendly critic Of
Blaine and opposed to his presiden-
tial aspirations. is now reported by
telegraph as saying that the ex-
Speakers chances for the nominal
ton are improving. We think so
too. Blaine is certainly the favor
lite in New England. and with Nor
ton out of the way, as he soon must
be, the Northwestern States, with
perhaps the single exception of
Ohio will be for Blaine. On the
other hand, the Tribune. speaking
as we suppose, the thought and wish
of what is known as the Liberal
party of New York, declares that,
though Bristow had no chance be-
fore, his late war against the whisky
rings aud the corruptionists, has
pushed his candidature to the very

Bristow. his popularity as a presi.
Dental candidate does not extend

Democratic States. In the sure Re-

We HAVE have had something to
say about the late Legislature of
California, along with other Re
publican sheets; that the aforesaid
body was little better than a dis
gushing nuisance. But this much
has not been said yet, and that is
that the Republican party is more
responsible for the existence of that
institution than the Democracy,
The miserable split in the Repub-

success of the opposition quite pos
sible, and when we look back over
the situation in California the past
three years, the wonder is that the
worser elements of the Democracy
did not take more effective advan-
tage of the opening and steal the
entire State from the grass-roots to
the bed-rock-aye, to the 2200-foot
level. Let the example be warn
ing to the future of parties; two
evenly divided organizations are
healthful at all times;l they are
check on each other.

Our real preference all the time.
as to Presidential aspirants, has been
for E. B. Washburne, the Minister to
France, bot he has been kept in the
background so far that il has seemed
like folly to advocate his claims
Lincoln and Grant having both come
from Illinois in succession. renders it
somewhat out of place for Wash
burnc to put in an appearance on
this occasion, yet stranger things have
happened, and the Cincinnati Con-
vention may become so divided that
the selection of some out-of-the-way
man will be inevitable. And be-
sides, the good fortune of the Wash
burne family is proverbial. We con-
slider the American Ministsr at Paris
more level-headed and statesman
like parsonage than any of the prom
inent aspirants for the Presidency in
this country; that he would make
the better President, and we will not
he surprised if the Convention finds
itself in such condition as to be glad
that as good man as Washburne is
standing around on the outside.

IT appears that General Schenck,
Sy the Tenure of Office Act, is still
Minister to England, the President
not having accepted his resignation,
and the Senate having refused to con-
firm Dana. 1t remains to be seen
whether Schcnck will return to his
post, but unless the Investigation into
the Emma mine affair develops some
thing more damaging than up to date,
we are inclined to think the old
poker sharp will yet have chance "a
to bid Victoria formal goodbye
We are not particular, having consid-
cradle admiration for his pluck.

true story Of Mormon designs in
New Mexico. Before indulging in
any comment upon the statement,
we concluded to await the arrival
of our Salt Lake exchanges. Bar
ring their local religious prejudices,
their opinions ON this topic ought to
be worthy of some special interest at
least. In the "Tribune" Of the I'd
instant there is a very readable
analyzation, and with one slight ex-
ception it is altogether serious,
First and last, then, there Can be
no doubt of the following conclu-
sions That the Mormon leader
have given up all idea of going be-
yond the jurisdiction of the United
States, and that what they fail to ac-
complish through strength of mum
bers, man strength and bullying,
they will eadeavor to manage and
maintain by cunning and the role of
the martyr. 1t is possible their sud-
.Eing for The So. M, :, ,s,I1,s;;ya
| may mean an ass~,apt AT proseis sisih
beyond the American border, but it
will be with view of future anneXa-
ton to the United States, where they
have acquired most substantial
foothold.
Now, leaving out the polygamouS
feature of MormoniSm, no religious
! fanaticism has resulted more bene-
ficiaily, all things considered, in any
country. Industry and economy are
the normal condition of this strange
conglomeration of people, and on
this score their advent in force among
the Spanish-speaking races on this
continent ought to be hailed
as a godsend. More than this,
Brigham and his chief advisers
have doubtless experienced a de-
cided modification of views on the
polygamy question--at least for
policy sake-and they will be chary
about charging the kingdom by
that means; especially among the
Catholics of Mexico. New or OH,
At all eve ats, We believe the Nor
mons have come to a halt-that
they have ceased to play the Waa-
dering Jew, but have adopted
rather the character of Ola Rodin,
the Jesuit-and will fight ont their
destiny within the government OF
the United States.
| What is most singular about the
story in question, is the role as
signed to Axtell, Governor of New
Mexico. who was first nominated
by Grant as Governor OF Utah. AK
tell. while at Salt Lake, displayed
unmistakable evidences of fav1rit,
ism toward Bingham Young. while
at the same time Grant has all the
time pursued that bomhastic fraud
in way he despised. Either this
Axtell part of the story is unbound
ed. else he Meals hoisting out OF
New Mexico and as suddenly by the
same power that let him out OF
Utah.
Or, finally, are We to infer that
Brigham has secretly promulgated
a revelation against polygamy, with
the understanding that the govern
ment is to call off its hounds. and
hereafter let him alone? 1t were an
easy matter for man of Brigham 5
craft, to renounce practice incon-
sistentwith his age and physical re-
sources. Besides he knows enough
of the temper of the American pee.
ple-the aroused and growing sen,
timent--aever to hope even for
Utah or any other polygamous com
munity. to be admitted among the
Union of States. Let him gobbl,
New Mexico and Old Mexico-al
the Mexicos-for any change there
aways would be for the better.

The boasted generosity of Califor-
MIA is going begging. In these Cen
tennial days of that States greatest
prosperity, only $4,000 have been
raised for building little house of
Pacific coast woods on the Centen-
NAL grounds, and Mr. Mccoy of Ne
vada turned over $1,000 of that
amount, and William S. OBrien $500

THE following is late Washing
ton dispatch: General Merrill
denies the charge made by Custer
that he once took bride while
acting as Judge Advocate of a Court
Martial in Texas. There would
seem to be cause of dislike for Mer-
rill, on the part of Custer, from
certain testimony by the former to
the Hancock Board. before which
he reflected upon Gustav as disci-
plinarian of his regiment" We
know little about Gen. Merrill and
care less, but ever since Andy
Johnson's swing around the circle,
nearly ten years ago, We have re-
garded Gen. Custer as a long
haired fraud, capable of anything
dirty or demagogical to carry a
point.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 5th.-An
old German named Michael Mitchell,
who was stabbed in Bull Run alley
last Friday morning with the blade
of pair of scissors in the hands of
John McCarty, died AT the City and
County Hospital this morning. A
charge of murder has been registered
against McCarty on the prison book.
Muck Sow, the Chinaman on trial
for several days past for murder, has
been identified as an escaped pris-
oner who was sentenced to he hung
for murder ten years ago. He com
mitted burglary in Spanishtown, San
Msteo county, in 1865. The Chinese
witness against him was locked in
the same cell during the night.
Muck Sow killed the witness and
made his escape.
The creditors of Samuel Mckee &
