tennial building to the railroad Office,

first effect of the consolidation of the

few ovcrscrupuluus Republicans might

HAYES in Political Bankruptcy.

The Fraudulent President went into politi-
cal bankruptcy on the ith of March last, and
he has been sinking deeper and deeper in
the slough ever since then. The fall cleo
tions showed that his party had deserted him,
and the extra session has shown him TO loo
without credit or honor in either branch Of
Congress. The House declared him to be u
usurper at the time he took Office, and its
terrible indictment still confronts him on
the Official records. 1t is through the suf-
fcrance OF the Democratic members of the
House that he is allowed to hold commune
cation with it at all, aud it Is through their
votes that the measures, on account Of
which the extra session was convened, have
been passed.
In the Senate he is In a still moro peculiar
and helpless predicamcnt. Not only do the
Republican leaders there, from CoNKLING
to BLAINE, hold him in contempt, but in
the whole body Of Republican senators
there is not one OF responsibility
ready to stand by him. When bit
tcrly assailcd few days ago. not
voice was raised in his behalf, and
even the carpct-bag Senators skunk away
from him when he was denounced 10y one Of
their own number. His suggestions are dis
regarded, and the nominations about which
he is most anxious remain uncontirmcd.
He has tried to induce the members of
both Houses to call upon him; but even
those who do so quickly turn away. Repub-
lican caucuses have been held for the pur-
pose of seeing if anything could be done
about him, but. Judging from recent occur
Fences those caucuscs have turned out very

HAMPTON has already determined upon
policy Of amnesty for all the thieves who
robbed the State during ten years OF unre-

This will be one Of the leading questions
ut the approaching session of the Leglsla-

1no announcement OF tlclr purpose created

that t.r peace OF tho city would be cuduu-
gccd, that the Chinese would be- assaulted,
and that There ould be q reign OF terror.
The alnruists cried for the troops Of the
regular army to preserve order, and to rs
sist the authorities in prohibiting the pro-
cose'on The Chinese lenders tclcgrarhod 20
Washington for military protection. and
llAyls's Cabinet, in replying to thoir dcs-
patch, promised that orders should bo
promptly sent TO the army in California.
Now it is very likely, If the Democratic
Governor Of California had not acted with
discretion, that san Francisco would have
been occupied by The troops OF the rcgulnr
army ON Thanksgiving Day; that some Of
the roughs of the city would have got up
trouble. and that the Federal military pow
cr would have been called into action. If, on
the other hand, III, troops being there, or
dor hal boon maintained, ami ,hc process
sion prohibited, the commanding General
would have claimed the honors of the occa-
sion, and the Military Ring at Washington
would have .ed il as an argument for the
enlargement Of the army
But the people of m Francisco depended
upon themselves and had no desire for the
presence OF tho regular army. The Mayor
held the police IN readiness, and the militia
and the Fire Department were rut under
special orders for the day.
Thanksgiving Day and the anti-Chlncsc
procession made their appearance in san
Francisco last Thursday The procession.

| Promptly at ten o'clock of the morning the
anti-Chinesc masses began 10 move. They
marched through the principal streets Of
the city, and at last, drawing up in front Of
the new city Hall they opened the fight,
did they not at all. According to the dcs-
patch. literary exercises were held which.
we suppose. means that speeches Were
made. and that the brass band played. The
Chinese themselves turned ont in crowds to
look at the spectacle. and not a man Of tho
whole seven Thousand took the first step
toward disturbing the peace.
This j. the American way-,f doing things.

from enc church to another clearing of their
debts. Thcrc Is greater field for him hero
than in Chicago. or anywhere else. Wo
have hundreds Of churches In despair
on account Of their debt. They cannot
hire Brother KrMBALL's services: for. instead
q taking pay. he puts down his own subscrip-
ton before calling on other people to put down
their subscriptions. But. nevertheless. they can
secure his help. If they take the proper way to
do SO. Some rich professor of religion should
give Brother KfMBAII. who is salesman or
