What truth was spoken that we do not hear
every Sabbath day? Why should thousands
pour out on a wintry night TO the cheerless
Hippodrome, which is one of the monuments
of the career of the gigantic humbug of the
generation, to hear the Scriptures expounded
by this uncouth exhorter? That is one of
the problems that we cannot solve. We con-
fess there is little to encourage the hundreds
of clergymen who study and work from
year to year to humble congregations,
whose voices are never heard beyond the
parish bounds, when they see the thousands
who follow gentlemen whose gifts have
not secured them even a Gospel ordination.
We.trust that they will do all the good their
said last evening New York had been pointed
out TO him as a peculiar city, and not apt to
respond to the influences which moved other
places But, as he well remarked, even
New York was not superior to the power of
Gods Holy Spirit. This is very true. Our
best wishes attend the evangelists We trust
they will not find that the seed has been
sown upon a rock, and that, when they leave
u.s. it will not be as q sensation, living its day
and forgotten the day after. This is the
danger with all sensational religion, and

Journalism.

1t seems almost superfluous to al
lude to the legitimate duties of the
press, as in contrast with what may
properly be termed journalistic mall
feasance. The intelligent public will
make its own discrimination, and the
day is not far off when popular senti-
ment will sustain the one, and in the
most decided manner condemn the
other. News is one thing, personal
scandal and defamation of character is
another. The Call of the Goth, allud-
ing to the late scandal from Monterey
which another cotemporary published
to the mortal ruin of the daughter OF
a citizen of Monterey remarks that
such an act is severely reprehensible.
A journal has no right to publish a
scandalous, anonymous communica-
tion any more than 1t has editorially
to attack the personal character of an
individual. The act alluded to it is
true resulted In a tragical termination
and may be regarded as an extreme
case, yet it is an illustration, that
may be borne in mind, OF
what illegitimate. journalism may do.
In all such cases where there is no
real remedy at hand to acquire ade-
quate redress, there seems to be NO
chance for relief except for journals
that claim to possess a regard for re-
spectability to endeavor to so educate
public sentiment, as to lead to the
frowning down and crushing out such
system. There is an ample field for
the legitimate, but of late it must be
confessed, to the shame of the present
age and generation, sort of craving
for the sensational and scandal bear.
ing press. By popular support door
is being opened that will introduce
into our social experiences depraved
sentiment which, if encouraged, will
lead to the most disastrous consequent
ces. 1t is time that our intelligent
citizens began to be discreet in their
patronage. 1t Is matter worthy OF
consideration.

A DiaboIical Mlsrepre sentation.

A Washington dispatch of yesterday
states that every mem Der of the SEN
ate has received by mail from San
Francisco an anonymous pamphlet,
arguing what is called the other side
of the Chinese question in California,
and elaborately denying all the alle-
cations of the San Francisco an
ti-Chinese mass meeting of April
5th. Nothing is given as to the au-
thors or publishers of the pamphlet,
it being submitted simply in the name
of the friends of right, justice and hui
manity. Itcontends that the Chinese
number less than one-eighth of the
population of San Francisco and one
thirteenth of the population of the
State. 1t argues that Mongolian
cheap labor is desirable. 1t chal.
lenges testimony to sustain the charge
that the Chinese in California consist
to any extent of slaves or criminals,
aud it generally argues that their
presence is blessing to California and
the country at large.

Member Pacific Coast Centennial
COnlnlitee-DEAR SIR.-The chemist
of the Agricultural Department, on
the fifth inst, informs me by letter,
"That in the collection of soils, fertili-
zers and vegetable productions, beet
sugar productions are wanting.n 1t
has occurred to him that probably our
State can supply the deficiency; he
has been unable to supply such speci-
mems from any other source, and if
we can render him any assistance in
this particular he will be extremely
grateful. Such is copy of his letter,
and If you can SUPPLY hope that you
will at an early date. Send ON to my
care.n
Every foreign State is doing won-
ders in their exhibits. The United
States is doing comparatively Moth
ing, and California still less. There
are but three or four in position, and
everything is in great confusion, and
will be for a month. l have been
searching for four days for California
products, but in vain. L find wine of
one house, some minerals and grain.
Where is the Grangers' grain? Are
they doing nothing? l have the
promise of a place for the sheap shear
er to-day, and for any other useful
machine; but they must be of the
first quality. The house is progress
ing fast. 1t makes fine appearance.
We hope to have something in it
soon.
l hear that W. H. Martin is coming
as the agent of California. Why! he
cannot be recognized. The Governor
of Michigan came this day, authoriz-
ing four gentleman to come and take
charge of their products and report, al
though under the seal of the State
they cannot be recognized. The Cen
tennial Commission alone has such
appointments.
will attend to all things and hope
may give satisfaction, but, for good
ness sake, send us something to eXhl6-
it. Yours, J. ID. CREIGH.

Carl Schurz on the Coming Man.
CHICAGO, 22d.-Hon. Carl Schurz
is in town to-day. In conversation
with Tribune reporter, he expressed
very freely his views on the Presiden-
tial candidacy. He considers Bristow
the best man for the Republican NOM
ination because of his availability
with all classes and parties, including
the Independent Reformers, because
he has been one of the most active
prosecutors of official frauds and cor
ruption, with which the great masses
have no sympathy, and because throw
ing him out would cast more or less
odum upon the party. He considers
Charles Francis Adams an excellent
choice, but thinks there is little prob
ability of his becoming candidate.
He speaks of Blaine disparagingly as
a candidate for the Presidency, be-
cause he lacks the record of reform
er which Bristow possesses. Mr..
Schurz says the sentiment of the coun-
try is strong for reform, and that the
party which wins must do it on the
reform basis and candidate.

CONGRESSMAN Lut,rell.

Our representative from the North
ern district explains his position in an
open letter to Governor Irwin, in
which he announces himself as cam
didate Tor reelection and defends his
record. He credits himself with hav-
ing procured an investigation of the
Pacific Railroad, the Contract and FL
nance Company the Postoffice Depart
ment and straw bids, and having
arranged for the ventilating of
the Mare Island and Indian
rings, besides other services
on the railroad question; defending
his course with regard to the Texas
Pacific and Southern Pacific on the
ground that the interests of the latter
road should be allowed to build
East to meet Scott's line. Referring
to the trade of Arizona Northern
Mexico and Southern Colorado, he
says: "Scott seeks to build road
from the East that he may rob
our people of this trade, and trans
fer it to the Eastern merchants,
mechanics and producers. Every
dollar earned by the Central Pacific
and other roads of Stanford & Co. is
invested in building up the country
and adding to the wealth and COM
merce of California. He therefore. as
a choice of evils, since the land grant
had already been made, advocated
giving it to the Southern Pacific for
such a distance as they might build
East, but claims that his action in
this respect is not at variance with
his anti-subsidy principles. He adds
a postscript as follows: "My action
upon the Texas and Pacific Railroad
Company is endorsed by the ant.sub-
sidy Democrats and Republicans of
both houses of Congress"
