SEVERAL editors. are being adj

ventiou. Amongst the rest the
San Diego Union and San Jose

inatlon of Col. Ayers, of the Euen-
ing Express. He would make an
admirable member of such body.
To his unquestioned ability as q
iourna list he adds an extended eX-
perience of the needs of California
from the pioneer days. The non
partizan Convention which is
called to meet at Sacramento to-
morrow could not nominate a man
for delegate who would be less
amenable to objections on the
grounds of fitness and integrity
than Col. Ayers. The fact that, as
journalist, he is independent in
politics, ought to enhance his
claims to recognition in n non.
partizan Convention. ..
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-05-21

Just think of that, for a moment.
No Democrat was to have "show"
at any stage of this business, either
before the election or after it. The
Republican leaders were deter
mined to sit, like Bret Harte's All
Sin, with an extra ace up their
sleeves, and they carried cut the
idea through the Electoral Com
mission. If there had been forty
thousand questions involved, and
1t was requisite to decide SO, 800 OF
them against the Democracy to
make Hayes President, every one
of them would have been 90 de-
cided, and probably the remaining
one would have been added on the
principle of throwing in the tail
with the hide.
The Republican press and ora
tors are In o fine stage of vaPor be-
cause the Democratic party, with
a sagacity and purpose which dc
| it's leaders honor, are determined
that the confessions OF McLin ane
Dennis, Republican Returning
Board officers, and the shameless
evidence elected in Louisiana

They are not only in the line O

about revolution is too contempt
BILE to be noticed. If elicitiug the
truth about the darkest and mos
dismal pages of our history be rev

| it. We can endure Hayes in tn,
Presidential chair; but, if he stay
there, we desire to see him pilloriet
in q position which was once hon
orable, with "lhe brand of fraud

tics, upon his brow" aud outlined

have the temerity TO aim at ruling,

like the United States, and If the
Democracy can be afffighted by
the spectacle of their opponents

bosoms they should disband at
once and seek the maternal apron
strings. At no stage of the retri-
butory phase of American politics
into which we are now entering dc
we think there will be The slightest

ST.. PETERSBURG, May 2oth.-
While there is reason to believe
that the foundation of arrange
ments between the Cabinets of
London and st. Petersburg has
been laid, the small group OF per-
sonages who know what has oc-
Cured maintain extreme reserve,
and it is difficult to say how far
various rumors are to be relied on.
Russian official papers reiterate
the statement that the movements
of the army before Constantinople
are not hostile or menacing. A
Pera correspondent says that this
is the general conviction there, al
though on Thursday. and Friday
the movements caused q regular
panic. The strength and organiza-
ton of the Turkish army is now
such that prudent General like
Todleben would hesitate to attempt
q coup de main while his rear is
harrassed by an insurrection. Tod
leben's object has been to, take
up good defensive position. He
was not allowed to fall back from
San Stefano. He therefore consol-
dated his men as far as possible by
bringing up troops from the rear.
The Turkish army is not only
strong enough to defend neutrality
but even to assume the defensive if
that neutrality is seriously
menaced. This fact explains Todle-
ben's care to lift his army off the
San Stefano fats to the adjacent
heights and give strong backing
of support by bringing up troops
from the rear. Bucharest advices
say the Russians continue to move
troops and guns from the Danube
into Bulgaria. None are coming
northward.

1HE eOltOf Oh the ATJOUuut 10 81
extreme in his devotion to the
English people that lie thinks the
American nation is at best but an
outpost OF old Albion. He eX-
claims against the Anglo-phobia
which exists amongst certain
portion of tho American people.
He thinks that it Is owing to the
presence here, in large numbers, of
low Irish and Ignorant Germans.
The Argondat is mot content with
admiring the British, but it must
slop over in vulgar abuse Of nther
nations. For our part, we are per.
fectly sensible Of the leading part
England has played in the affairs
Of the world. Her scholars, think
ere, poets, inventors, soldiers and
sailors stand high on the scroll of
fame. Their record is as enduring
as that of the injustice and brutal
ity of England. One has only to
read the speeches in the impeach-
msnt of Warren Hastings the
finest examples of human elo-
quence, made by men devoted to
British glory-to learn Of the I'M
scrupulousness and ferocity which
have characterized England at
times. The long English domina-
ton of Ireland affords another in.
stance of these traits. A very
striking one was her tyranny in
the United States and her hiring Of
Hessians and Canadian sayages to
butcher the American people. Un-
like Mr.. Pixley, many Americans
have not yet forgotten this episode.
If there is such thing as an
Anglo.phobia, there is also such
thing as an Anglo-mauia, and Mr..
Pixley is fine example of this last.
The people of the United States are
not, in any sense, an English peo-
pie, though the editor of the
Araonaut says they are altogether
so. If Mr.. Pixley win turn to the
national census of 1870 he will find,
probably to his surprise, that Of
the about thirty eight millions of
people that then composed the
United States, over nineteen mil
lions-or one-half- were horn in
Ireland, or had one. half or one
quarter Irish blood in their veins.
This is 20 say nothing of the de-
scendants of Irishmen who, like
Montgomery, fell fighting in the
War of Independence. When to
this formidable total of people
whose blood is either altogether
Irish or largely SO, We add the
French, Germans, Danes, and
other nationalilies aud their de-
scendants, together with people of
African descent, we have a formida
bic total of persons in the United
States who Go not look back to
England as to their ven cradle pro-
genitor. The fact is that the people
of the United States are emphati-
cally cosmopolitan in their compo-
sition, and that the Irish race form
the largest single element in our
population. The Aryonaut com.
plains that none of our public men
dare TO antagonize the Irish vote.
Perhaps the reason may be found |
in the facts we call 10 the atten-
ton of our contemporary. g.. 80
