MRs. Carl ScHURz was of wealthy
family in Hamburg, she chose poor
outcast, an exile, who had price set on
his head. The two came to this coun-
try, where the ability of the husband
speedily won preferment. He rose
higher and higher, until a. last he sat
down in an honored seat in the Senate.
The honeymoon never waned. But re-
Gently it suffered an eclipse, the total
eclipse of death. Such domestic hap
piness, unruttled for many years, WAS
perhaps as exceptional as the wonderful
success of the husband.

THE CONCERT OF ACTION by which .
half dozen of the leading papers of Cal
ifornia simultaneously attack the Car
son Mint is evidence enough Of design
having for its end something else than
a desire to correct existing abuses.
Undoubtedly these attacks are all &C
tuated by the same spirit of selfishness
and iobbery which caused the opposi-
ton against mint appropriation
which was encountered by Mr.. Fitch
when he represented Nevada in Con-
gress. At present the miners Of the
Comstock, whenever they require the
coming of any amount of their bullion,
ship the precious metals at their own
risk. When the coming has been done,
the specie is shipped back to the min
ers Just rs the bullion came-at the
risk of the companies. This avoids all
express charges. There would be such
charges if this Mint were destroyed,
for the risk of sending coins from San
Francisco, or "a Mint in the Nlissis-
sippi Valley" to Virginia City, would
be too great to be justified. But Sutro
is not the only party who has designs
upon the treasures Of the Comstock.
In reply TO the story published in the
San Francisco Post that any consider
able amount of the Carson trade dol
lars are or we're uniformly defective.
We will state the fact that so soon as
the complaint reached his ears, Mr..
Crawford sent to Wells & Fargo's San
Francisco agency and procured twenty
Of these unsatisfactory coins. They
we're all discolored by fire. Some of
them had been whitened with sulphur
ric acid. Only one Of these-acid-
cleaned, was found light of weight.

CHURCH PROPERTY is taxed in Califor-
MIA, and this was brought about BY the
heather. The Chinese ayailed them
selves of the exemption OF church prop.

and to prevent this it was necessary to
make general the taxation Of all real

An old copy of now defunct religious
Journal contains the following sensible
comments on
PERSONAL. IDENTITY AFTER DEATH.
If men are punished or rewarded in
another life, they must be the men who
in this life deserved punishment or re-
ward. Their identity must be unques-
tionable. It must also. if that punish
ment or reward is to mean anything as
an example of Gods judgment in right
eousnsss. be an identity which is known
publicly. The man who sinned mus.
be, unquestionsbly. the man who is con-
demned. The man who did Justly,
loved mercy. and walked humbly with
his GOD, must be. without question, to
any onlooker. the same man who is JUS
tilted at the judgment.
The recognition Of friends il an
other world" seems a very supe1auous
question. The stamp of individuality,
that indemnity and oneness Of being
which God has impressed on every man
as if he were the single soul created in
all the universe, is never taken away.
Sickness. sorrow, misfortune. insanity.
death cannot change it. The child re-
ceives it at its birth, and the world
weary man of eighty dies. after all LIES
chances and changes, and passes into
the world OF spirits, and is the same;
the child that laid in its cradle GEN.
fury ago. Identity is one Of the mystic
ries OF being. But it is mystery never
lost when once conferred. John Dos
in heaven will be the identical John Doe
his friends knew on earth, and Richard
Roe in he'll will be the same Richard
Roe that we used to see fitting himself
for that position SO pertinaciously here
on earth. Johns old friends will gladly
recognize him and Richards old COM
panions viii all greet him.

New York Democracy.

The New York Democratic State
Convention met in Utica, last Wednes.
day. The Tammany delegates from
New York were recognized as regular,
and seats were given on the floor with
out choice to the nti-Tammany con-
testants. Immediately on the adoption
of the report favoring Tammany Hall
the anti-Tammanyites left the Conven-
tion.
After the recess Francis Herman,
VIM. Dorshimer, Henry g. Murphy
and Abram S. Hewitt were chosen del
egates at large to The National Conven-
ton.
In the resolutions the Democratic
party renew their fidelity to the prin-
ciples set forth in their platform adopt
ed in 1874 and 1875, well vindicated in
the illustriouS admins trations of Gov
ernor Tilden, and commended anew tO
their faith and adoption by the endorse
ment OF an increasing majority of their
fellow Democrats of sister States; in.
struct the national delegates to vote as
unit in accordance with the will OF
the majority. The Democratic party
of New York, while committing to
their delegates the duty of joining with
the delegates of their fellow Democrats
of all the States in the momentousSde-
liberations of the National Convention,
declare their settled conviction that the
return to the constitutional principles,
frugal expenditure and the administra
tive purity of the founders of the Re.
public is the first and most imperious
necessity of the times, the command
ing issue now before the people of the
Union, aud they suggt st, with respect.
ful Difference to their brethern of other
States, and with the cordial apprecia-
tion of other renowned Democratic
statesmen, faithful like him to their
political principles ana public trusts,
that the nomination of Samuel j. Til.
den to the Office of President would en-
sure the vote of New York, and would
be approved throughout the Union as a
recognition of this supreme necessity,
the inc -iation of this vital issue, the
pledge of our high purpose, ard the
guarantee of successful achievement
of this arduous work of national regen-
Grafton and reform.

The New York Tribune editorially
ssys: 1.-The fac; certainly is that. the
probable action of the Republicans at
Cincinnati is mnch more generally dis
cussed than that of the Democrats at
st. Louis. Much more interest is man
ifested by the public in the Republican
nomination than in the Democrats.
This would hardly be so unless there
were conviction in the popular mind
that the next President is to be nomi-
mated at Cincinnati and not at St.
Louis. This was not the case eighteen
months ago. After the Democratic
victories which brought into being the
present Congress there was not only
great confidence on the part q: the
Democracy that the tidal wave would
roll beyond the Presidential election
and place the government in their
hands, but there was a corresponding
dependency Oh the part of the Repub-
li,ans which approached utter discour-
cement. That there has been very
positive change in public opinion
since then is tCo plain to need argu-

Why BristOw will Not DO for the
Republican Candidate.
From the Cincinnati Time

lllC SluClnhdtl
The party lines are drawn almost as
closely this year as in 1860. The Re-
publican party will demand candi-
date whose record in this fierce strug-
gle of the past will convince the peO-
pie beyond all shadow of doubt that the
great cause for which we have done and
suffered so much is safe in Lis hands.
This requirement places Mr.. Bristow
utterly out of the question-if he had
ever been in it. A Southern born man,
with dangerously pleasant relations
with the Bourbon Democracy, with no
political record, and no political expert
ence, there is no more possibility of his
being taken for a Republican leader in
this campaign than there is Of the RO-
man Church taking an unknown Prot
estsnt for the next Pope.
These are the reasons why Blaine and
Conkling, enemies though they be,
would unite against Bristow; ana the
same reasons will apply to all the really
Republican delegates in the Conven-
tion. Mr.. Bristow's support will be
from those who have been enemies of
the party since 1862.

gardly retrenchment proposes to cut
off the letter-carrier system from all
towns having less than forty thousand
Inhabitants. Towns having twenty
thousand and upwards now share the
benefits of the system and will be eX-
ceedingly 10th to dispense with it. Con-
gress may see proper to deprive them
OF it, but the expressions of diSSatis,ac-
tion will be so loud and general that it
is highly probable the privilege will
be speedily restored.
The examination OF Mr.. Jshn J.
Davenport before the Committee on
Expenditures in the Department OF
Justice, 50 far as it has gone, clearly
demonstrates the fact that bot one
silver OF public money has been used
Improperly, but that every cent used
in the prevention OF election frauds
were imperatively demanded and that
much more could have been prOtitably
expended. He clearly explained hi,
method of operation and proved its
beneficial results. The amount oi
money thus expended being in all
thirty-four thousand dollars, and for
this he produced his receipts, and now
the House Committee on Naval Al
fairs has received from the House an
order TO print the testimony taken be
fore it. 1t will make volume of five
thousand pages and will cost one hua-
hundred thousand dollars. And in The
name of common sense what good re-
suit has or ever will be accomplished
by this vast eX penditure of the peoples
money. The demand for silver coin
upon the Treasurer OF the United States
are daily increasing. Thus far has dis
bursed in exchange for fractional cur
rency about one million of dollars, and
if there was law permitting the re-
demption of legal tender notes and GER
titicates of deposit in National banks
and other gOvepment depOsitarie5 the
disbursements from the Treasury alone
would have been at least five million.
In the Case of Hallet Kilburn, the re-
cusant witness, Judge Carter has sus-
tained the validity of the writ of h0IeQS
corpus and tarned the witness over 10
the criminal court for trial. Thus very

OF the Sergeant-atA of the House.
kilburn at once gave bail for his ap-
pearance and will be tried at an early
day. REP.
