The PRESIDENT M1s1xroRMEp. The Presi-
dent of the United States is not in relation
with very good sources Of information as to
the events Of the day and the condition Of
the country, and, in consequence, there are
several statements in his proclamation in
regard to South Carolina which are errone-'
ous.
/. It is stated by the President that in
surrection exists in several counties Of
South Carolina; but this is not true.
2 Il is stated that these instructions
'cannot be controlled or suppressed by the
ordinary course Of justice" As the ''ordi-
nary course of justice" has not been tried,
how can this be known?
3 It is said that the Legislature ''cannot
be convened in time to meet the emer-
gency :; which is incorrect, for the Legis-
lature can be convened sooner than troops
can be taken there.

The Democratic County Convention.

The Democratic County Convention.
This body is to assemble this afternoon to
make nominations for the local Offices to be
filled in the ensuing election. 1t will ap-
proach its task under more favorable
auspices than could have been expected
three days ago. A great step toward har-
mony has been made by the substantial
agreement Of all the factions on o candidate
for the most important Office. Smith Ely,
Jr., who is the peoples candidate rather
than the politicians candidate, is so strong
in the confidence Of this community that no
politician dares risk his influence by oppos-
ing him. He is alike accepted by Mr.. Kelly,
Mr.. Morrissey and Mr.. O'Brien, none of
whom will encourage his followers to
express any dissent. This is great
point gained, because it facilitates
harmony in the residue Of the ticket The
other important officers are the Sheriff, the
Surrogate and the County Clerk. Mr..
O'Brien, to his credit, declared. in the
interview which we printed yesterday, that
he will pursue no personal objects and de-
sires no Office for himself This, of course,
means that he will not be a candidate for
Sheriff; and it is to be hoped that, after he
has given this proof Of manliness and
moderation, no other candidate will push
his own claims in way which would breed
division. We hope that good selection
will be made for this important and lucra-
tive Office, but we feel deeper interest in
Ak~k &c - IL
have repeatedly set forth this judicial posi-
ton should be entirely separated from party
politics. When we succeed in getting good
Surrogate he ought to be constantly reelected
until he becomes incapacitated by age or
physical infrmities The Surrogate should
be independent of the mutations Of party
politics. If we were satisfied that the
present incumbent is such a man we should
oppose any change But he is mere ap-
pointee of the Governor, has been but q
of opinion as to his fitness. He should be
subjected to a close scrutiny. 1t is desira-
BILE that the Office should be filled at this
election by some upright and able lawyer of
such marked qualifications that no question
can be raised as to the propriety of re-elect-
ing him as often as his term expires. John
Z. Burrill, Charles NJ. Da Costa, Lewis L.
Delafield, Charles f. Miller and James C.
Carter make list from which an excellent
selection could be made if the appointee of
the Governor has not during his brief period
of service, established claim to be consid-
cred.

and strength will depend on the issue of
that event. He is setting his personal popu-
iarity against the ties ofparty and the result
will, doubtless, furnish some very interest
ing points to the students of our local poll
tics.

"Nor GUnTY."-The jury in the House
case have rendered verdict of acquittal,
thereby liberating the woman charged with
the unlawful killing of her husband from
the grasp Of the law. While we must accept
the verdict as coming from body of men
competent to give it legal force and effect,
it establishes precedent dangerous to the
interests of society by clothing woman
with the right to kill while laboring under
q sense of injury, real or imaginary, or even
anticipating it. Much sympathy goes forth
to wronged woman, but society has rights
superior to those which an individual may
seek to defend by any means outside Of the
strict legal FORMS Mrs. House was not in
fear of her life at the moment she took that

removed perhaps source Of danger which
might at any time lead to her own violent

Smith ELY, Jr., ~ Candidate ms
MAYOR.

1t should be alike satisfactory to citizens
who desire an efficient local administration
and to democrats who wish to heal theiI
local divisions that the prevailing party in
this city is likely to nominate so excellent
candidate for the Mayoralty as Mr. Smith
Ely, Jr Every democratic faction will ac-
cept him, if for no other reason because 1T
would be impossible to organize an opposi-
ton which could make even q show OF
strength. Mr.. Ely is too well known and
too highly respected for any rival to draw
of democratic voters if he receives the regu-
lar nomination, as it now seems foregone
conclusion that he Wills But the really inn
portant fact is not that Mr.. Ely will unite
the democratic party, but that he will make
an excellent Mayor for the interests of the
city. We are pleased to see that our con-
temporary the World indorses the estimate
Of MI. Ely expressed in the HERALD. The
World after repeating our list of names,
with one or two additions, goes on to say
Any one OF these nominations so far as character
and rcpute concerned would do honor to the party
body OF citizens who moro for the good name OF
New York than for party. II the Mayoralty could
be administered with reference whatever TO local
politics there could scarcely be any decisive reason
given for preferrng any Of these gentlemen to the
others med. But s necessary that tho Mayor OF
Now York should be familiar not only with the needs
OF the community but with the perils and quicksands
OF our local politics. and from this point OF view the
support which Mr. Ely IN particular has Deen peer recev-
ing makes II extremely probable that he will eventu-
ally be selected to hold this most important position.
He held position in the old mixed Board OF Super
vsors and from first to last fought the obbers, was
constant thorn In their sdos and bore their contumey
and dersion with patience conscious that time would
vndicate him and drive tho rogues from power. Ho
olen stood alone In that Board rejected all overtures
and for the last two three years refused even TO
speak with Tweed. Ho fought the Ring, in short,
when TO support the easy road to promotion and
10 power.
The nomination of Mr. Ely will make it neo-
essary for the republicans to run a straight
ticket. There is no chance of coalition
which would bring them any advantage,
and no motive for coalition whose ticket
would be foredoomed to defeat.

Guaymas Letter.
GUAYMAs MEXICO, January II.

GUAYMAS MEXICO, January If.
 EDITOR CITIZEN: The situation remains unchanged, as far as the gen. eral unquiet throughout the State is concerned. The actual condition, or the relative strength of the revolu- tionists and government forces is hard to find out. The State government is still master of the situation and holds her own.
 Owing to the pronunciamento at Hermosillo, the Governor retired his force of five hundred men from the Yaqui river General Pesqueira, find ing that the revolutionists, owing to Governor Safford's proclamation, had left Arizona and come down through the Altar district to Hermo- sillo, also moved fcon tke north of the State towards Hermosillo, at which place he is supposed to be now, We have had no mail for two weeks from Hermosillo, and for three weeks from Arizona.
 Four days ago, part of Governor J. J. Pesqueira's forces surprised one hundred and sixty of the revolutionists at a plSce called Las Pillares, twelve leagues from Guaymas, found them asleep, killed twenty-two, took thir- ty prisoners and seventy horses, and a considerable quantity of arms. This blow las had demoralizing effect on the opposition.
 Yesterday an order was received by | the Prefect of this place, to arrest all the men here from Hermosillo and Ures, a number of the principal men of which cities have been here for some time. This order has been car ried into effect and there are now thir- ty of them in jail, held as political prisoners.
 If the opposition does not do more fighting and talk less, they will be worsted. At this time Pes lueira has the vantage ground. AlamOs still remains quiet.

] From the Arizona Sentinel, of Jan uary 29:
 Bowley & Myers arrived from Tue

 with his wagon train from Tucson.
 Bowley < Meyers train will leave to-day for Tucson, with full load. James Quinlin' train will leave for Tucson tomorrow, full freighted. Goldberg's train, J. H. Hovey wag- on master, left for Tucson, with full load, yesterday.
 David Neahr received by last steamer fine lot of trees, embracing lime, lemon, orange, almond and grape, which he intends to plant on his ranch at Agua Caliente.
 Steamer Newborn had arrived at the mouth of the river.
 Yesterday Mir. L. J. F. Ieager show ed us a telegram, stating that the |" Silver King" mine had been sold to parties in San Francisco, for two hun dred thousand dollars. We also saw letters to the same effect. This we consider an excellent operation for both sellers and purchasers, and shows that competent parties who have seen the rich mines in Arizona, have the confidence to invest fin them, They will reap rich harvest.
 James NJ. Barney has shipped dur ing the week to the interior, by trains of Quinlin and Meyers and Bowley, 10000 pounds of government and citizen freight.
 Received from the interior and for warded to San Francisco, 10, 900 pounds of ore.

Trade Dollars.

1 The trade dollars made at She Car son Mint are in great disfavor on ac- count of their defective coinage. San tranclsco brokers make a difference of one quarter of one half per cent. be- tween them and the ones coined at the San Francesca mint, with no other test than an examination of the mint mark, while in many cases they are so defective as to sell at two per cent. discount. Out of a lot which were purchased for shipment to China in November, 5000 of those coined at Carson We're returned and sold at the rate, and orders have been received here from China to ship no more Car son Trade Dollars there unless pur- chased Ut discount
 The brokers tell us that the trouble IS not only in the indistinctness of the stamping and milling, and the unfn- lshed appearance of the coins, which are probably caused by defective ma chlnery' but that they are not so bright aS those made at San Francisco. and tarnish quicker, showing that the silver has not been properly worked; that there has been some mistake or negligence in the process of annealing.

American Sense.

The Philadelphia Press justly finds fault with the practice of filling up hotel bills of fare with French names. The mass of Americans, it says, can not even read French; few who can read it pronounce it properly, and those who are skilled in speaking it have no advantage at dinner-table, be- cause the walters would not have the remotest idea of what was meant if the best Parisian accent should be giv- en to the names of the dishes. There Is not a greater piece of affectation to be found in any country than this very practice. To the sensible man it is intolerable. He professes to under stand the English language, not the French; if he does understand the lat ter. to keep 1t for France, or French society. He can order fish, mutton. game, side dishes, vegetables, dessert or anything he comprehends; but what does tue average business man know or care for lepoisson, un gigot de mou- ton, le gibier. les entremets, Ia volatile. le dessert--a la this, that and t'other thing combined with something else? We'll might the disgusted countryman exclaim with his forefathers, "Give me pork and beans or give me deathI' or the natural Southener, at one of Thomas concerts, ''Oh blow that classical tootin'-give us a Virginia reel 7" If we must borrow our dishes from the French, let us call them by English names, and remember that no people more heartily laugh at our horrible mistakes and affectations than do the French themselves.
