THE Alta 1emurs to our sugges'
tion that the two vacancies in the
Constitutional Convention should
be filled from Los Angeles county.
We made the claim because this
county is clearly entitled to from
five to six members, according to
estimates of population founded
both upon our school census aud
our vote. We are absolutely the
third county in the State in popu-
lation, and yet both San jose and
Sacramento counties, both of
which we outnumber at the polls
aud in the schoolroom, have from
two to three more members of the
Convention than Los A Angeles. The
Alto meets this argument by the
remark that all the counties of the
State are compelled to wait for
justice on the census of the United
States, which is taken every ten
years. The Alta further empha-
sizes its views by the remark that
San Francisco also suffers the same
injustice OF which we complain.
We understand the case differently.
AS We write the authorities are not
at hand, but we have always be-
lieved that the laws of California
provide for a census of the State,
to be taken every ten years, and so
arranged that it shall fall exactly
in the half of the decade comprised
In the United States census. Thus,
the last census OF the United
States was taken in 1870, and the
State census should have been
taken in 1875. If this had been
done we should have had no COM
plant tn make. If our UNDER
standing of the law is the correct
one, and there was a criminal neg
lect to take this State census, the
Alta will see that we have a per-
feet righ. to demand that the Con-
vsntion itself, in filling the vacan-
cies caused by death, as they are
not bound down to any locality in
their selection, should choose two
citizens Of Los Angeles county. 1t
would be graceful and just act
and reDaira rank Injustice.

He firmly declined. Besides its
risks and impolicy, and besides all
other objections to it, the bill
would still have left open the func-
tion and duty of the tribunal itself,
upon which afterward its own de-
cisions (no evidence of the very
truth alitnde) left its own exist
ence o political soleclsm. But the
authors of the bill had negotiated
themselves into leaving the powers
of the tribunal to the tribunal
itself, as was apparent in the Sell

To many persons tho presence of
Gen. Sherman in Arizona is indi-
cative of an approaching war with
Mexico. This has been asserted to
have been a pet scheme of the adj
ministration ever since Inaugural
tion day. For our part we DO not
believe in tue lmminence of such
q war. The American people are
rather in the humor of reconquer-
ing their right to choose their
rulers and retrench their expendi-
lures than Of adding to the Ma
tional debt and increasing the diff
ficulties under which we labor. The
element which would favor war
with Mexico is not 80 large as is
generally supposed, and the admin
istration, If it fancies it would be-
come popular by such AN expedient,
would find itself very much mis-
taken. There are no misunder-
standings between the two coun-
tries which could not fail to be re-
moved by a frank discussion and a
spirit OF conciliation. Besides, the
war would be sought expressly
with view of diverting the atten-
ton of the American people from
grave internal questions which
should be settled for all time. The
United States are not in the habit
OF plugging into war upon trivial
pretexts Our last and ouly wal
with Mexico was owing 10 that
country's determined and persist.
ent effort to conquer the State oi
Texas, which had declared its inde-
pendence of Mexican rule and its
desire 10 enter the American
Union. Such conjuncture as that is
not likely toarise for years to come.
As it would be both impolitic and
unjust to fall upon Mexico and alb
sorb her by main force, our govern
ment should make hearty and
honest effort to allay all misunder-
standings and to bring about cor.
dial and profitable intercourse be-
tween the two peoples. Some time
or other we may perhaps find
Mexico In the humnr of parting,
| for considerations, with her north
ern provinces of chihuahua
Sonora, Sinaioa and Lower
CalifOrnia, and we should
gladly embrace such an op'
portunity for u territorial bar
gain. A short line drawn
from the Gulf Of Mexico to the
Gulf of California would give us a
far better boundary than the long
and struggling one we have now.
Such an acquisition would do away
with international troubles which
have arisen mainly from the long
and struggling boundary which ex-
is ing treaties have esta biished be-
tween the two countries. But
ferce, until Mexico has given us
some decisive provocation, is alto
gether out of the question as in.
volving evils which would faI
overbalance all possible benefits.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-In the kid glove case
the secretary Of the treasury has decided upon
the report OF Assistant Secretary French, that
the action of the collector at New York will be
affirmed, leaving to importers the remedy they
may have in the courts.
In the case of the steamers Denmark and
England, seized for silk smuggling at New
York, the secretary of the treasury has RENTED
all fines, penalties and forfeitures on the paw
ment by the owner of $4,000 and costs.
Bids for the sale Of silver were opened TODAY
at the treasury department and over half a
million of ounces were purchased at prices
slightly below London.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Secretary Schurz to-
day decided that no portion of the money ap-
propriated by Congress for public surveys dur
ing the present year can be used for the pur-
pose of tracing former surveys in the field, to
aid in the investigation Of depredations upon
public timber lands, etc. He holds there is
no warrant to add to the amount granted by
Congress for the prosecution of that investga-
ton, the appropriation for it taving been spe-
cifc and definite.
Ex-Gov. Fletcher, Of Missouri, who is in the
city, has secured unconditional pardons for Mr..
Eienreichhoffen, Bernard Eagle, John L. Ber-
hecker, A. M. Everst and Henry Hardaway.
These five pardons dispose of the last of the
men who were convicted as participators in st.
Louis whisky ring frauds. All others convicted
for this offense have either been pardoned or
terms Of imprisonment to which they were
sentenced have expired.

Another political campaign is over, and
the animosities that have had their origin
during its progress will soon be among the
things of the forgotten past. In this Con
gressional district the canvass has been more
than usually animated, and some sharp blows
have been struck. There are great many
sore heads to-day, and it will require many
days for the wounds given to heal. In some
respects the fight has been disgraceful one,
but the Democratic party comes out un-
smirched and clean. They have fought
against tremendous odds, have fought val
iantly, and if they have not won victory
they have at least come near it. The enemy
has been active, vigilant and MISCONCEPTIONS.
There has been no hesitation in EMPLOYING
the most corrupt means to gain votes. With
IN unstinted supply of money at their dis
posal, and possessed of the powerful en-
ginery of the most profitable Offices in the
gift o. the people, the Republican party
managers have sought by corrupt means to
defeat the will of the people. We regret

dered, but st. Paul cannot be blamed for re-

DISPATCHES from Washington say that the
conviction is spreading there that whatever
may be the design of the imposing Embassy
sent by the Chinese Empire to that city, it
is believed to be a good deal deeper than for
the mere pleasure which Chin Ian Pin and
his suite now so elegantly stimulate. It is
believed by many that active steps will be
taken by those interested to persuade Con-
gress to some act of legislation which will
put stop to the further immigration of
Chinese. At the last session of Congress
this subject was agitated, but all that was
accomplished was the adoption
of a resolution instructing the Presi-
dent to notify the Chinese Emperor of de-
sire for revision of the Burlingame treaty,
SO as to bring the subject of Chinese immi-
grafton more directly under the control of
this government. The Pacific coast people,
in securing this initial step. meant it as an
entering wedge to control such immigration
by prohibiting it. Secretary Evarts, soon
after Congress adjourned, communicated
this resolution to the Pekin authorities, and
it is believed that the embassy was sent here
to protect China's interests.
