THE PASSENGER DRIFT.

There is prospect that the accession
Of immigrants to the Pacific coast by
way Of San Francisco will be less than
last year or. perhaps, the year before.
The arrivals IN that city during the
month Of January were $500. against
$500 IN the same month in 1876. $500
for 1878 and ZOO for 1874. Per contra,
the January departures were $500 this
year. 1000 last year, 1890 in 1875 and
!, 400 in 1874. The mouths gain in
these respective years stood, 1900 for
1877, $500 for 1876. / 900 for 1875. and
800 for 1874.
The diminution is very large in tho
the Chinese element, those coming be-
ing solid eastern settlers. The Spring
months will probably show healthy
Increase. II is probable that Washing
ton Territory will gain more heavily in
proportion this year than California,
not only on account Of the drought in
that State, but also because Of the
greater area Of fertile lands remaining
open for presumption ana homestead
occupancy.

STRAIGHT TICKET.

A contest tor the municipal offices will
soon be engaging the attention of our
people; and we propose now to make
a suggestion in reference TO it. We have
been one OF the best-men- ior-the-ofli adj
vocatcs, and have, for number OF years,
fondly hoped that our people, forgetting
their politics, would take an interest in
their local affairs and elect good men 10
local positions Of trust and honor. We
have been disappointed. The good
citizens are lazy folks. They
don't care much for themselves.

est in local politics. further than to say

wicked ways, singing hymns on Sunday
and making money on week days, he

munity, sacrificing his own best inter-
csts in neglecting the government OF his
ncighborhood. to him the most important
government in the world. Stir the good

'WGSO STRUCK lilly PATTER-
SONYD

On the tidal wave Of 1874 Patterson
was carried into congress as the delegate
from Colorado. lie was surprised at his
success, "a also was all the country. and
his victory was OF momentous impor-
tance-was. in fact, the cause OF all
our present political woes. The reader
is evidently astonished by this assertion.
and Is, as n matter of course. incredu-
lous. But what we say is a fact. Pat
terson's election as delegate from Colo
RADIO was the little thing that made the
election OF Mr.. Tilden doubtful.
and caused Us to stand in dread
OF civil war and the down
fall Of the republic. You see. Colorado
was a territory, Radical in its politics,
lcal federal administration. The Radical
office holders quarrelled, and the result
OF the quarrel was that the tidal wave
entered the territory and carried Pa'ter-
son into congress. OF the many men we
nave met with in our short life Patterson
il one of the most comely and entertain
ing. Everybody likes him who knows
him, and he succeeded in getting into the
the house. lie coaXed them-told
them that he could be elected to congress
if Colorado were made state and that
there was no doubt of his ability 10 give
a., ~, 81,
date for the presidency. The Democratic
majority believed him, and Colorado was
admitted into the Union. The result was,
the present muddlc. Patterson hit the
Democratic party in the eye, and nearly
ruined the country.
But we were getting along very well
with our troubles. The electoral bill
gave promise of peace and the inaug-
uration OF Tilden. The whole thing
hung upon the fairness OF the fifth SUI
preme Judge, aud it was generally con-
coded that he would be David Davis.
This belief has been knocked down BY
the election of Davis TO the senate. He
cannot now be the fifth judge, and it is
said Judge Bradley will be. Judge
Bradley is one of President Grant,
judges. lIc was appointed for the pur-
pose OF reversing the decision OF the Sill
prene court on the greenback question
for the purpose OF reversing it in the in
terest Of great railroad corporation.
That such a judge will act honestly
is possible but it is also possible that the
Democratic success in Illinois, may. like
the Democratic success in Colorado, give
Mr.. Tilden trouble, and keep him out Of
the white house. We hope not however
Our case is 30 strong that even judge,
like Bradley aud Miller must, il they ar,
not altogether given over to the bad
decided for Tilden and the right. Ii how.
| ever, we do lose by the prejudice of Brad
ley, we will be compelled TO attribute ON
defeat at Washing ton to our victory al
Springfield. With Davis on the commits
sion, lie being an honest man, Tilder
would have triumphei. With Bradley OF

upon the bench for purpose, We may
succeed, but our chances OF success arr
| greatly iessene1.

Tar other day, Don Morrison, fondly
believing that the Davis slate had been
fixed, telegraphed TO Belleville THE
fruit is ripe; we shall pluck 1t to-day"
But, unfortunately, the best laid schemes
OF men and mice gang aft aglee. When
the balloting came on, Miles kehoe re-
fused TO vote for Davis, and he was not
elected. The Don thereupon rushed to
the telegraph Office and sent to Belleyille
this message: ''Our pole wasn't long
enough to reach the persimmons.' But

MeCLERNAND ON THE ELECTORAL
BILL.

Gen. John \. McClernand, whose voice
was loud for war. endorses the electoral
bill. He calls it the bill of peace, and
by it is warranted by many high consid-
erations. "Abstractlv it is fair" he
says "abstractly il is just"
The objection that the bill attempts TO
delegate powers lodged by thc constitu-
ton in the president OF the senate, Gen.
McClernand dispOses Of without ifil.
Guilty. The bill withholds from the pres
ident OF the senate the right to count,
and this also has precedent
made by practice done. Hence"
says the general, "this point is dismissed;
first as lily taken; and, second, as over.
ruled"
But II the power to count does not re-
side in the president OF the senate, it
resides in the two houses Good but,
non constat, as power residing equally
In each house, it is subject in its exercise
10 regulation by the concurrent action of
both. The enactment of this bill will be
the contamination OF such regulation
Then again." says the general, $50 far
the bill is constitutional"
The bill does not contemplate practi-
cal abdication of the powers and RESPONSE
bilities of the two houses. According to
its terms and intent, only such powers
are to be conferred upon the commission
as are in their nature anclliary and sub
servient to an end over which the two
reserve an ultimate controlling and de-
terminate will and judgment. "In other
words" the general goes on, "the mem-
bers of the commission stand, compare
| lively, in the same relation to the two
houses as special commissioner or
the master of the rolls does, acting under
the courts order Of appointment and
reference. with power TO take
evidence and report ms conclusions OF
fact and law concerning the SAME. II
the court approves the report, II become;
tine act of the court and Is Discriminate
II the court disapprOyes it. it becomes
null, and the court may proceed de mono.
Gen. McClernand uses very forciblt
pen, and In defense OF the bill has made
it do most excellent work.
