Sir Stafford Northcote on the American Pres
idential Muddle

ANCAVAd1 MuUu4Cs
Sir Stafford Northcote, Chancellor of
the Exchequer, speaking at banquet in
Liverpool lately, made the following al
fusion to the American Presidential question:
"Nobody can witness without sympathy and
certain amount of admiration the conduct
OF the great mass OF the American people un
der the difficulties presented by the Presi-
dental question. We believe they have a
constitution which they are able satisfactor-
lily aud honestly to work out for themselves.
and even in the present great difficulty we
cannot help seeing tnat they are cndeavoriDg
by honest exertion to find a constitu Jonah
solution. The matter must come to an end
shortly. The settlement, hofe, will be
very beneficial to the commercial condition OF
the United States, and therefore also to that
OF England. am happy to think that good
feeling exists between England and the Unit
ed States in regard to the European situation"
The Chancellor expressed the opinion that
the moment was one OF anxiety, but it was
not one tor anxiety that should prevail over
the hope tor satisfactory result.

Our dispatches inform us that
the President has issued pro-
clamation providing for the sale,
on October L, of large tracts ,oi
government land in Arkansas.
In Mondays Democrat we in
formed our readers that, in conse-
quence of the repeal Of the "l,ome-
stead act of June 81, 1866, such
sales would be made in the fall
in the States of Arkansas, Florida,
Alabama, Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi. AS soon as che list of
vacant government lands in this
State is completed, q similar pro-
clamation will be issued in regard
to Louisiana, and the mill-men Of
Calcasieu will be able to purchase
pine lands and pursue their bust
ness without molestation from
Federal timber agents.-[N. o.

A NEW REPUBLICAN, PLATFORM

A NEW REPUBLICANS PLATFORM
We learn that various prominen
leaders OF the republican party in OH
have been engaged in the preparatio,
of new platform, by means of whic'
they hope to rescue their party ano
themselves from the ovelfowini
scourge which now threatens then
with destruction. We have procured
copy Of this project from which Sc
great miracle is hoped, and here it is :
PLATFORM OF PRINCIPLES.
I Favoring an amendment to tn
national Constitution forbidding appro-
priations of public money, property, or
rleiit for the benefit Of any Institution
under sectnrian control.
2. Taxation of MI property, except
ing public property and cemeteries.
3. All church property to be held by
trustees, composed of members OF tie
congregation, society, or institution
using Improperly.
A. Compulsory education. Favorine
law requiring all children to be- edn
Gated, either in private or public
schools.
s. Favoring IN amendment to tn
national Constitution requiring all new
voters, after the adoption OF the amend
ment. to be ab e to read and write III
English before exercising the electiv'
franchise.
6. An effective Registration law, for
the purpose OF preserving the purity OF
the ballot box.
z. The passage Of Inv to prevent
threats or intimidation of any kind,
ecclesiastical or otherwise, for the pnr-
pose of influencing parents or gunr-
dams against sending their children to
the public schools.
8. The passage Of a law to prevent
threats or intimidation nt any kind, &C.
clesiasc:ll or otherwise, Tor the purpose
of influencing the voter III exercising
his right Of elective franchise.
We regret to remark that there
is nothing in all this that is new !;
every one of these propositions we
have heard of before and most Of
them, we are sorry to say, as they
are stated here, have a dogmatic
color and an ecclesiastical squint
that are exceedingly objectionable
in things political.
The most remarkable points in
this programme are, first, the alb
sence of that proposition to initiate
the currency and mike the silver
coin of the United States legal
tender, which is now so greatly in
favor with the Ohio republicans,
aud especially with Mr.. Hnyee {;
and secondly. the manifestation of
u desire to disfranchise the ne
groes OF the South by a constitu-
tional amendment making reading
and writing universal qualifca-
ton of voters.
Mr.. Haoes and his Administra-
tion have already turned their
backs on the old principles of the
republican party by abandoning
the negro to his fate and it is not
surprising to see such an indica.
tion of their disposition to deprive
the black man of the elective fran.

but will sustsin 1t In what is right
because 1t is right, at and for the
welfare of the country, and not all be-
cause of any fealty to the party that
stands defeated and condemned by the
people. The people cannot allow The
selection of their chief magistrate to
become Q thing of chance or OF sharp
practice. The frauds first Triumphant
Ia American history must bs assigned
to Its proper place among the crimes
against popular government, and
made so odious that no party will
dare to attempt its repetition. He who
Is elected President must be Inaugural
ted. Until that is settled and made
sure no democrat can be seduced from
his devotion and allegiance in any
way; not by the allurements Of office,
or even by the strong appeal in the
abandonment Of the administration of
vicious principles and dangerous pol
icies and the adoption of better doc
trines and just measures.
democrats will not instruct their
most cherished principles to the keep
ing OF power which is attained by vici-
GUS and corrupt means, They will the
rather continue their faith In the right
of the majority TO ruie In accordance
with constitutional provisions.
"All democrats rejoice with un-
bounded Joy that free republican gov
ernments are once more allowed to
the States of South Carolina and Louis
Iana. They rejoice in the good fruits
tnat peace and good order will prevail
that capital will be made secure and
labor safe, contented and happy; that
enterprise will revive and the cruel
burdens of the government and pub
lie corruption will be lifted from the
shoulders of labor and that production
will increase and lands advance ia
price. But they know that in the lan-
guage of Gov. Morton, it had become
"Good government in the States
was not free-will offering upon the
affairs of the country. For years the
democrats had contested in Congress
and before the people for free republi-
can States throughout the South, and
finally it became inevitable because
the right and truth were too strong to
be longer suppressed. In this demo-
Gratis find reason to stand more firm
ly with their party.
"Out OF power with no patronage
to dispense and no money TO distribute
but animated by the spirit Of our in
and inspired by the sentl-
ment of the right of local self-govern-
ment inherent in the people, the dem
ocratic party during the past ten years
has restored one State after another,
until now the tread of the soldier is
heard in no legislative hall, but in
every State the people are governed by
laws of their own enacting and by Of
ficers of their own choosing"
Mr.. Hendricks concluded with the
that this occasion had more
than personal significance. II pro-
that we had no sectional senti
ment no Eastern or Western policies.
The East and West and the South
were one. A wise and Just policy
would alike promote the prosperity
of each.

The CITY LOAN that is now offered is
certainly inviting for those who desire
permanent investments. The time for
which bids are asked will close on Fri
day. The interest is 90 per cent higher
than the government per cent. loan
that is now offered, and the security is
quite as good. There are indications
that it will be all taken by New York
and Philadelphia bidders, and our own
people should bespeak it at once if they
want it. Five per cent. and all taxes
paid is a good interest paying bond now.
1t is likely to be above par in six months.

SAN Francisco, July 80.

SAN Francisco, July 30.
Everything was quiet yesterday and
last night. Tine force OF Safety men
was considerably reduced from that
previously on duty. Only one or two
slight disturbances occurred during
the evening, which at any other time
would scarcely attract notice. A small
band of hoodlums hurriedly smashed
a Chinese wash house on Fifth street,
ami decamped before any guards
could reach tho locality. A Safety
man, while alone on Fourth street near
Folsom, was attacked 10y hoodlums,
and slightly injured before he ex-
iricated himself. An attempt was
made to burn the residence of A. Z.
Quimbie, Foreman of Hook and Lad
der Co. M. 1. but was frustrated by
the prompt discovery by the neigh
bors. A Chinese house on Moss street
near Bryant, was raided in the absence
of the patrol.
Joseph Silverstone, aged 16 years, a
member of the Safety Committee, Is
missing since Saturday evening. and
IL is feared has met with foul play.
The funeral of the late A. II. GUIDE
will, killed "wednesday night while
acting with the Committee Of Safety,
in defending the Pacific Mail wharf
from the attacks of The mob, took place
yesterday afternoon under the II
