The Pleasures OF Revenge.

We trust the leaders Of the Democracy in
this state will hugely enjoy the prospect Of
defeat that starcs them in the face.
They had but to unite to conquer.
They hated each other worse than they
did the common enemy.
Revenge is sweet, especially to women"
The leaders Of the Democracy are not
women, to be sure but they might as well
be.
Mr. CoNKLING now seems in n fair way to
be United States senator for six years to
come, instead of Chief Judge CHURCH or
some less distinguished Democrat
This is not our fault. We sounded the
note Of alarm in advance and early.
The truth *, the Democrats of New York
nre digging their own graves aud putting
the Democracy of the nation in jeopardy.
A great leader should show talent to
unite his own party.

We have heard good deal lately about the
Ohio idea There is a difference of opinion rs
10 what it really is Some people understand
the Ohio idea to be- that promises not to pay
are as good as promises TO pay provided
the promise is dramatically wordcd and
hand 7omcly engraved. Others take the ohio
idea to mean that every white maio born
within The limits # that State is entitled,
by virtue of his nativity, 10 a Federal Office
with a salary. Sun another Interpretation
of the OHIO idea is that a man has II moral
right to an onccto which he was not elected
If he can once get possession by n trick.
The South Carolina idea is much more dis
tinct and mtelli4ible. Strictly speaking, it
should perhaps be called the WADE IlAMp-
TON idea, for it is held, in its entirety. Ly
Gen. WADE HAMPTON and q number Of his
political and personal friends 1hat any
considerable portion Of the people Of South
Carolina, who have abundantly manifested
their good sense under very trying circuln-
stances during the past twelve years, are
committed TO this idea, VIC arc not prepared
10 believe.
Put into few words, Gen. WADE IIAMp-
TONS South Carolina idea IS that for some
unexplained reason, perhaps some peculiar
lty Of pedigree, family stature, apparel, or
mustachios, Cen WADE HAMPTON is cx-
empt from Judgment on tho principles by
which other Governors and other politicians
are Judged. This immunity from the opera
ton OF ordinary rules is supposed to extend
10 all Of Gov. HAMPToN's acts, private or
Official, and 10 surround his administration
with an atmosphere Of semi sanctity, not TO
be violated by criticism or reprOach The

Mr.. AUGUST BELMONT, who is
generally Chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, does
not like the direction of the finan-
cial legislation of Congress. He says
there Is great danger of the credit
Of the United States being ruined
forever. 1t occurs to us that, con-
sIIering the aristocratic, oppressive
and imperial accomplishments of
= large national debt, and which
have signally shown themselves in
the United States during the last
fifteen or sixteen years, it would
be great blessing If the ability of
this country to get into debt should
be destroyed. A nation, even more
than an individual, suffers from
rushing into debt. The tendency
Of great national debts Is to convert
the masses into hewers of wood
and drawers Of water to the capt.
tAiIst class. to concentrate money
Into a few hands and to create
large numbers of wealthy people
who will not engage in business
enterprises because they have an
easy and assured income, sup
posed to be without risk, from the
public funds. Perhaps it would
not be such bad policy, after all,
Daily Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1876-1884, 1878-02-06

to divest this easy refuge of the
rich, selfish and indolent of its
supposed sanctity and inviolabil-
ity. The slightest tremor of q rich
man sets a certain class of journals
and public men palpitating with
anxiety. while the sweat and toll
and anxiety of the laborer, his
many disappointments, his cur
tailed enjoyments, his often agon-
lied battle to keep the wolf from
the door, interest them not whit.

WE learn that the general opin-
ion in Sacrament, Is that the Fares
and Freights, II ported by the
Beard of Transpor: "a Commits
sioners of this State certainly
pass the House, but -. there is
great danger Of their failure in the
Senate. The leaders of the Demo-
cratic majority of the Senate
should see to it that this popular
impression is falsified. Should the
Democratic party fail to do some
thing acceptable to the people on
this head, every Republican paper
in the United States will ring with
reproaches from now to the next
election. These journalists and the
stump orators of the party will ut.
terly ignore the fact that the Gen.
trail and Southern Pacific Railways
were called into being, and made a
power, by the Republican party.
But, waving all party questions,
the people have right to some
substantial and we'll considered
legislation which will give them a
guarantee against corporation OPP
preston. The railways will natu-
rally be likely to take all they can
get, and the representatives of the
people, without doing injustice to
the corporations, or making their
l-gislation so extreme as to neces-
state the cessation of the cunning
of trains, should give us bond
from fate that the whole margin OF
profit in raising crops should not
be absorbed in the charges for
transportation. We feel confident
that the Democratic Senate can be
relied upon to do its duty. We are
rapidly reaching a period, however,
in which action, to be effectual,
must be instant.

IL Is u CuTiOuS iiuo vi tCstihiohy
which is being developed before the
Legislative Commission which was
sent down to San Francisco to
make inquiry as to the advisability
of repeating the precipitately
passed Incendiary Act. When
Judge Louderbach is Oh the stand
one story is heard; when Judge
Bob Ferral mounts into the wit
ness box very different is the mar
rative. We have never enter
tanned any doubt of the fact that
this act was q mistake. 1t should
be repealed, and it should have
been repealed before Bones came
upon the scene. If it is repealed
now, Bones will claim all the
credit of the repeal and we rather
thiuk he will be able to substan-
tiate the claim simply because he
will place himself in the van of the
public sentiment demanding 1t.
Machinery to suppress riots may
be needed, but free speech should
never be trammeled. Legislative
bodies which start out to frame laws
on such delicate matters should re-
member that the Constitution of
the United States, in express
terms, grants to every American
citizen the right of assembling and
petition, and the right to carry
arms publicly. The Legislature
has made o mistake and it should
acknowledge it In manly way.
The shortest and frankest is the
best way out of such dilemma.

statement attributed to Colonel
Bee, that the Six Companies, two

from San Francisco to Secretary
Evarts proposition for the re-

Probable Isvcsttxatton-FrO
Session Predicted-H of Ia-
cIme Tax Likely.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 5th.-Lsad-
ing members of the House Naval
Committee say it may be consid.
cred certain that Mare Island mat
tiers will be made tho subject of in
vestigation towards the close OF
the present session. The intention
is to obtain authority from the
House to send a subcommittee to
Mare Island for this purpose.
The Democratic leaders of the
House Committee on Appropria-
tons express the opinion that the
session will be prolonged until
about the LIST of July by contro-
versies over the general appropria-
ton bills. They say they purpose
cutting down all government sala-
ries throughout the country, even
those of employees of the Senate
and intend to reduce all expendi-
lures to minimum, and, therefore,
anticipate strenuous and long
continued contest with the Senate,
such as occurred in the spring and
summer of 1876. This prediction,
however, assumes that the House
will sustain their sweeping recon-
mendations, which, in view of the
nearly equal division of party
strength, is very violent assump-
ton.
The majority for the income tax
resolution yesterday, though not
large enough to suspend the rules,
was so emphatic an expression OF
the will of the House on this sub
ject that it practically insures the
re-imposition of the tax so far as
the House is concerned aud will
doubtless be accepted by the Ways
and Means Committee as an in
struction to report u tax bill &C.
cordingly. Six of the thirteen
members of the Committee are al
ready known to be in favor of such
action. The Pacific Coast members
of the Committee were recorded on
the proposition as follows: In favor
of income taX-Luttrell and Page;
against, Davis, Wren and Will
liams; not voting, Pacheco.
The Secretary of War writes, in
response to the Oakland Light
Cavalry for the loan of a gattling
gun, that the Governor of Califor-
MIA, upon application to the com
manding officer of Benicia arsenal,
will be furnished with such ord
nance and ordnance stores as he
may require to meet any emergency
that may arise in existing troubles.
