WE positively find it in our hearts
to pity the gentry who have been
condemning the Democratic party
to the cold cerements of the grave.
We know not what may befall that
ancient and venerable organiza-
tion at some later stage of the game
political, but the recent Congress
sional elections show that the party
has never shown more vitality
than now. We not only hold our
own but have made advances of a
signal aud unmistakable character
and significance. To understand
tho full reach OF the results
20 far telegraphed it should be
borne In mind that Mr.. Tilden had
one hundred and eighty.four votes
lacking only one Of a majority of
the electoral colIeges-without a
single one of the votes of South
Carolina, Florida or Louisiana. He
also lacked the three votes OF Ore
gon, which State the Democracy
has since carried. Conceding the
Republicans their Returning Board
States, had the elections stood as
they now stand, Mr.. Tilden would
have been elected by clear ma
sority OF two. But we shall add to
this majority next time the votes
of South Carolina, Florida and
Louisiana, with n chance of half a
dozen other States. Should the
election 60 into the III puse OF Rep.
resentatives, which votes by states,
we shall even be able to add the
vete Of Ohio to the Democratic COL
umn. Aud the end Is not yet; for
undoubtedly, the Democratic
maj,rities of October will enhance
the Democratic majorities of
November. With the American
people nothing succeeds like sue
cess. All the time servers and
trimmers will gain the only respect
which could possibly attach to
them by sporting the shibboetb Of
Democracy.

TIE Constitutional Convention

TIE Constitutional Convention
has been distinguished so far by a
lew sensible and multitude of
chaotic and insane projects.
Amongst these last is an amend
ment introduced by an idiot who
does not even deserve the name of
Inspired to practically annul the
act OF the Legislature giving Los
Angeles an annual session Of the
Supreme Court of California. This
was : tardy concession, at best,
which was Indebted for its origin,
infant progress and respectability
to certain Los Angeles editors who
had . proper sense Of what is due
to this section; and, secondarily, to
eur energetic Senator and Repre-.
sentatlves, aided by some hearty
and influential exertions on the
part Of private citizens of Los An
goles. A constitutional medesty
prevents us from partlcularizing
thoss editors. But the granting
OF this boon to Southern California
wes dus primarily to newspaper
agitation, seconded by proper
local spirit. The man whose ideas
are 70 narrow and contracted that
he can see nothing in the broad
State Of California but Sacramento
IL unworthy of seat In a Consti-
tutIonal Convention. He would,
fact, be unworthy to act as su'
psrvisor Of dog pound. The idea
Of making the locale of courts
or State capitals the subjec
Of stipulation in the organic law,
which should only embrace gene
raj principles, could only origin ate
In I mind whose cribbed, cabined
and confined orbit oscillates be-
tween alcoholic excesses and a
spirit OF trucking to community
which may be relied upon to ex-
tend him an occasional doueeur.
fortunately Southern California is
assuming formidable status as q
voting factor, and a Constitution
which should contain such a pro-
scriptive and insulting provision
would be repudiated by the solid
vote Of this section. If there Is a
discrimination upon the part OF
Northern aud Central California to
concsde nothing below the Bay
counties. those sections should
have the grace to make provis ion
for = State Of South California. 1t
10 bad enough to ocompel the Judges
Of the Supreme Court to endure the
climate of Sacramento for II season.
To require them to sit there all
through the year would call for the
interpositiou OF some society whose
object is TO prevent cruelty to in
teIlectuai animals.

Senator Butler, OF South Caro-
lima, unconsciously rerpetrated a
good joke during his visit to Min
nesota, which is worth repeating.
He was treated with courtesy, and
made passable impression, but on
one occasion a person on being In
troduced inquired: "Are you the
man who killed so many people in
South Carolina?p Mr.. Butler,
without betraying any annoyance,
pleasantly replied: " l presume
YOU have killed more men than l
have" He was unaware that he
had got ahead of his questioner,
until hearty laugh from the by
ISLANDERS suggested an inquiry as to
the cause, when he was informed
that the man was doctor.

Awful Mortality.

Some startling facts were learned at the
Office OF the board of health concerning the
terrible effects Of the sun during the past few
days. DR.. Jameson, the gontlemanly clerk Of
the board, stated to an EreniHg Post reporter
this morning that the first case Of sunstroko
reported was that Of Adam Thornbcrgcr, aud
the burial permit for the intormcnt of his body
was entered ou the books on tho 18th instant.
Two other burial permits were issued the same
day In cases where the parties died from the
effects of tho heat. On Friday, the 18th. tho
number was II; oil Saturday, the 18th, II.
Yesterday there were IL,
This morning tho burial permits In cases
where the parties died from the direct effects
OF heat were II. This makes the number OF
burial permits in cases Of death from the d..
rect effects of the heat in the last three days,
Including this morning up TO twelve, 5j. The
total number of registered burial permits In
that time was l61.
Ii, as the officials Of the Board of Health
say, one.half Of the deaths In the city, and
probably more at this time, are children under
five years OF age, this leaves 4 total OF eighty
two deaths Of persons over five IN that time,
as against flfty.hve who died from sunstroke.
In other words, Of tho total number of deaths
among adults in tho past three days. more than
siXty.six per cent. have been the result Of the
heat.-Si. Louis Er,,.iag Post Of Modddy.

WHY 1T IS HOT.
A Learned Explanation OF tho Cause ol
Heated Terms.

Learned Explanation OF the Cause OF
Heated Terms.
To The Editor Of the National Rcprblicdn:
Perhaps few people outside of those who have
made the weather special study realize why
we should have these heated terms, and why
the past winter should have been so warm, aud
now why these summer months should b. SO
hot, and yet it is as easy to understand as that
water will seek the lowest level or that air
will rush in and fill q vacuum. 1t Is fact be-
yond controversy that the wind will be toward
the centre Of low barometer. Now. IL the re.
gion of low barometer is in high latitude, ii
naturally follows that to tho south Of that
point the wind will he from the warm regions
of the south while IL the area Of low barou-
etcr Is in a low latitude. that the wind to the
north of that point will be from the north, and
therefore cold.
During the past winter low barometer fol-
lowed In a higher line of latitude than usual,
causing over much of tho country warm south
winds. therefore we had little prOtracted cold
weather. and we had what Is commonly un-
| dcrstood as an open winter This summer
| We have had repeatedly a low barometer CCn-
| tire along line of high latitude, causing to the
south of it southerly and therefore warm
| winds. Low barometer has started In the
northwest, in the neighborhood of Montana
and Dakota, and Travelled its usual course cast
| along on the line of 45' north, and TO the
north of this say from AZ to AZ and !So
while high barometer has remained mostly
along the Middle and Southern States. Hence
the 5Outhorly winds which heat and dry have
tended more especially inland than along the
scabOard.
1t is rather peculiar that low barometer
should have repeated itself now 50 many times
in succession and has gono generally over the
same ground with 50 little variation Yet there is
no accounting for It's whims. if | may be al.
lowed to associate "whims" with natural
phenomena. We will have change only when
low barometer gets upon another course. and l
hope 1t will not be long ere it will get out on
the ocean or up in the extreme northeast ;
then, and not till then, will we have those
| pleasant summer breezes from tho wost aud
southwest which are 50 agreeable at this sea-
| son of the year. NlPSlC.

Postal superintendent Convention.

The convention Of postal supcrintendents at
their session yesterday considered and adopted
a report of a committee recommending IL :..o
Postmastcr-Gcneral test of registration OF
third class mail matter, by adopting tho sys-
tenn for ten Of the principal offices for four
months from October l.
The committee on registry pouches reported
that, in its opinion, tho system can be extended
with benefit to the service and a saving of la.
Dor by railway postal clerks effected. That
the opening OF registered pouches by railway
postal clerks would have tendency to weaken
the present safeguards, aud was therefore OBJ.
jectionable. The report was adopted.

in favor of the transmission Of specie from the
Pacific coast by registered packages.

the general conduct of the several branches of
the service represented, the convention nc.
