Senate Committee on Appropriations on

These sections provide a ten per cent. reduc-

require the Secretary OF the Treasury to
make reduction oft per cent. in the sal
aries of all Custom officers and employees
and prohibit the employment by Govern
ment oficers OF any persons, except those fol
whom specific appropriations are made. All
these provisions are stricken out on the
ground that they have no legislative sanction

Circumstances.

Rain, rain. glad rain sitting gently
down in the heat of an August day,
glittering In the sunshine throughout
the long distance between the eye Of
the beholder and the beautiful far.off
bow. Rain, tender and gracious, to
lay the dust, cool the air and open
again the scorched petals Of the flow
ers. Rain, that vets travellers new
coat, dances lively little Jig on the
rim of his Sunday hat, drenches his
brown cnrls aud trickles down over
his back in hilarious glee. Naughty,
frolicsome raln,in demonstrative good
hLmor, driving our traveller at last
beneath an overhanging rock. But
soon the great bow over the hills
brightens, the mists clear away aud
the sun shines out again on the drops
trickllng down the hillside, under
meath the moses, and dropping mu-
sically off the vine leaves into the
sandy path beneath. Stepping from
his retreat the travelling farmers boy
resumes his way, while the smiling
panorama before him soon wins from
his merry blue eye its accustomed re-
tiectioI, and his elastic step keeps
merry time to the singing of the birds.
This happy son, who is bound to the
distan. city OIL business for his father,
soon reaches the wayside village and
seats himself in car, beside
naughty appearing old man, alb

other on time behind it. The night
without settling cloudy, and the lights
burning dim, both presently fell
asleep. They both are cOntented,
sound sleepers, and neither awakens
at the parting of the coach from the
main train. What joke! to be left
alone thirty miles from any station
but, horror of horrors! what is that
low rumbling over the T rails but u
warning of the approaching heavy
freight. Both are still unconscious.
A sudden Grassland, only q breath,

rocky precipitous sides or the ditch,
carrying turf and moss and creeping
vines until they fall headlong upon u
corpse, washing out the blOOd-red

white brow and through his curly,
brown hair into wreath curiOusly

RADICAL ST TIES.

Giving all the doubtful States to the
Radicals the electoral vote would
stand Democratic, l8l: Radicals l79, q
majority of two votes for the Demo.
cratic candidates. But If We leave Jn-
diana AMI Ohio as the only two
doubtful States, which is really the
true situation, and add the votes of
New Jersey and Wisconsin TO the
Democratic side, We will have 1874
Democratic votes against l29 Radical,
with 81 doubtful votes. In each of
these States the result will depend
Very much upon the candidate.
Thurman against Blaine would carry
both of them. If Moron Is opposed
to Thurman, each would carry one.
Tilden against Blaine would make
the result very doubtful. Hendricks
against Morton would also make it a
tOss.up, with Ohio most likely for
Hendricks. Any Eastern candidate
on the Democratic ticket as opposed
to Blaine, or any other Eastern candi-
date, would most probably divide the
vote of the two States. Bristow
against either Thurman, Hendricks,
Bayard or Tilden, could carry neither.
But, giving Ohio and Indiana to the
Radicals, the vote would he, Demo.
cratic, 1874; Radical, 1866; clear major
ity of % electoral votes. The choice
of candidates will almost certainly lie
between Blaine, Morton and Bristow
on the Radical, and Thurman, Tlden,
Hendricks and Bayard on the Demo-
cratic side.

during the present session OF Congress,
that in any degree affected the inter-
ests of Lower California, he has ever
been found ready to respond. and has
honestly done his duty. There are
but few who fully appreciate the du-
ties and the responsibilities of such q
position, and still fewer are those, who,
after filling the place, can In these
days, return to their constituents,
with clean hands to receive the bene-
diction "well done, thou good and
faithful servant" Such Is Mr.. VIA.
GINTON'S welcome on his coming.
That he Is nominated for reelection
is an evidence that the district is safe.
He is the strongest representative of
the popular sentiment of his district.
and none other, that we can think of,
would more honestly nor more faith
fully protect its interests. The COM
ing campaign will DO peculiar in
many respects, and the discretion of
our party will be taxed to the utmost
to secure an honorable success. Those
who can command the fullest conf
dence Of the party should be brought
to the front and without any jeal-
ousy made the prominent standard
bearers. If the Democracy of our
State follow the line of policy they
seem to have adopted in this instance
there can be no doubt of Its success in
the contest now opening. 1t
will not do to make mistakes. AS
NAPOLEON said, blunders are crimes,
and this rule applies to the Democrat
ic party at this period. Let US see to
it that while we are ardent we do not
let our enthusiasm get the better of
our judgment. Harmony should be
preserved, aud thorough cooperation
must be attained. With WIaoINToN
as our standard.bearer we have no
fear Of defeat.

Eastern Nevada on the C chlnese.

A despatch from Eureka, Nevada,
states that OIL Tuesday evening the
court house was crowded to overflow.
ing with citizens called together to ex-
press their opinion in relation to the
continued and fast increasing influx
of Chinese coolies and prostitutes tU
this coast. The meeting was compos-
ed of all classes. A large proportion
of the working men were addressed by
prominent citiZeus. Each speaker
was loudly applauded, and the great
est enthusiasm prevailed. The reso-
lutions were unanimously adopted,
appealing to the representatives In
the Congress of the United States to
unite in the effort for the abrogation
of the Burllngame treaty with China,
or such modification thereof as shall
check the unmitigated evil of Chinese
immigration.
Another meeting is called for Satur-
day for the purpose of organizing an
anti Chinese league similar to those
now in operation in San Francisco
and other cities in California.

THE effort to secure the nomination
Of Hon. THOMAS F. BAYARD for the
Presidency is not to be overlooked.
He has q multitude Of warm personal
as we'll as political friends, and q Wig
orous effort may be expected to secure
his selection as q sts ndard-bearer OF
the Democratic party. His conserva-
tism commands the respect of all vo-
ters, but he lacks an element that
will control the popular vote. BAYARD
and TILDEN are in harmony In senti-
ment and purpose-both are eminent
ly fit for the honor Of the Presidency;
but the qualifications that BAYARD
lacks are prominent in the character
istics of Mr.. TILDEN. The latter is
the most popular, hence the most
available man

THE ways of New York politicians
pass all understanding. The ins and
outs Of their combinations are beyond
comprehension. In the management
Of their campaigns there are more
plots and counter.plots than in the
mechanism Of any other State In the
Union. To-day the TWEED faction
have the control, tomorrow the KEEL
LEY faction, and the day after there is
an affectionate commingling in frater-
nal felicity. Then, again, we have
the astute acrobat, DICK SHELL, COM
ing to the front, and MATT BRANNAN
and JOHN MoRR1ssEY goes to the
wall. If there ever was q political
pandemonium, 1t Is to be found In

record is made, and none can ques-

course thus far. He has been placed

respects, but has never failed to advo-

the interests of his constituents. Up

WE quite agree with this from an
exchange, which says: Reports
come from several localities to the ef-
feet that the wool clip is somewhat
lighter than usual per head, the farm
ers being at loss to account for 1t.
The light weight is probably due to u
loss of grease and not toa decrease In
the amount of wool, and instead of
being q loss is q gain. If the sheep
could be trotted through tank OF hot
soap-suds, and especially the oily
breeds, farmers would get almost
double the amount of money for the
wool, and q reputation would soon be
established for California woods at an
advanced price.
