It is claimed that when General Bob
Toombs, of Georgia, wrote his dispatch,
"Death to the Union," he had just been
drinking spring water, and was anxious
about the dept Of the spring. He refuses
to come into the Union, is worth $bOO,-
900, and is still on the war path.

that "there should be no delicacy In

The engine, the slate roof and one Of the

onel that she had been requested
by "an English Barrlster, Presi-
dent OF the British Theosophical
Society and son of Libaral M.
z. whose name is we'll known
throughout India''-the gentleman
who writes to the Standard, In
short-to send him one of those
gloves Immediately on her arrival,
in order to improve his fathers
eyesight.
The scene changes to London
On the same day the barrister
found telegram at his cham bers
in the Temple from lady medium
in London, saying that her "spirit"
had received message from Mime.
Blavatsky in Bombay. Needless
to say that this "message'' was the
glove sent from Bombay that very
day, with the well-known sigma.
ture on the inside of the kid and
the less known and less deciphera-
BILE symbols above it.u It was re.
ceived by the gentleman full in the
face in a darkened room, and he
now gives evidence that he is quite
satisfied that the transmission of
the glove was effected by the Coun
tess Blavatsky in Bombay and the
less powerful medium in London
between them. Earnest seekers
after truth in Bombay have begged
the Countess Blavatsky to send
home their overland trunks by the
same route, offering any reasonable
price for the accommodation. So far,
however, she has accepted no con-
tract; though We believe this is
only question Of terms-at least,
that seems to be the opinion of the
Indian papers.

The controversy between the
Chronicle and Denis Kearney grows
In interest daily, If we can attach
such word to a thing SO nasty.
The San Francisco Workingmen
are sticking to the Lieutenant
General with loyalty which
would do honor to a better cause.
One thing Is indisputable, the
moral position Of Kearney is inf
nitely superior to that of his news
paper assailants. Probably in no
city in the world except San Fran
cisco would Journal dare to be-
SLAYER q man with praise for eight
cen months in succession, holding
him up as the paragon of tribunes OF
the people, and then turn round,
stick its tongue in its cheek and
impudently tell its dupes that it
had been enaoting q hollow and
insulting farce all along. The
journal which should venture to do
20 in the East would find its SUBJ
scrlbers dropping away from it
more thickly and quickly than the
leaves fall in the bleak autumn
days,
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1879-05-27

WE note, by last Saturdays Bull
lslin, that the business of the Re-
cordsr's Office of San Francisco has
fallen off thirty-three and a third
per cent. since the election. Great
care will have to be exercised by
men Of all parties to allay fear
which might easily eventuate in a
panic, and which is even now car
rying all the available money of
the State Into United States bonds
or mining stocks-into something,
In nne, which can be converted into
ready cash at a moments notice.
It Ii not by any means desirable
that real estate should lose all value
whatever and become drug in the
market. Such it will undoubtedly
become II harmony is not restored
amongst our whole people. Ger
tain sales under execution which
havs lately taken place in Los An.
geles show that the same tendency
to disprize real estate at present
exists here to an extent as appalling
~ that noted in San Francisco.
With the fact understood that the
people OF California were deter
mined to elect their best and most
conservative men to all positions
Of trust the uneasiness would van
ish and business would fall into its
ordinary grooves, with perhaps an
accslsrated impetus.

THAT "uneasy lies the head that

THAT s'uneasy lies the head that
wears crown" is now being exem-
pllned In striking manner In the
case Of the Emperor OF Russia. The
Nlhilists seem, in that country, to
have attained an organisation and
command Of their followers that
absolutely defes governmental re-
preston. The assassi nation of two
Russian Projects Of Police within q
short span must suggest to the EN-
psror Alexander that his own time
ID not far of. Russia is simply an
anomaly amongst civilized or un-
civilized nations. At a time when
6ervia, Roumanis and even Turkey
have Parliaments which at least
ape the forms of constitutional gov
srnment. the ruler of eighty. eight
millions Of people disdains to rec
ogniss the right Of his subjects to
participate, in any form or manner,
Ia making their own laws. This
did very we'll as long as the Rus
sian people were kept ignorant;
but now that schools have done
their work, fermentation is inevit-
able. There are not wanting signs
Of upheaval In the interest of Re-
publican institutions which, be-
ginning In Russia, will extend
through Germany and Austria and
ring the knell of ebsolutist govern
mont In Europe.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1879-05-27

The placid assumption of the
Express that the Convention hold
in this city Saturday was Work
ingmen's and Farmers Convention
is amusing rather than serious.
The farmers who sympathize with
the Workingmen's movement do
so as affiliated Workingmen. There
are immense numbers of the farm
ers who are Democrats and Re
publicans by conviction, and who
will not consent to be thus quietly
appropriated by single one of the
three, perhaps four parties, which
will contest for the supremacy In
Los Angeles county this fall. We
respect the motives of the gentle
men who are organizing as numer-
Gus a force "for this campaign
only" as they can bring to look
upon them as the only persons fit
to hold office, but the body of the
people do not sympathize one whit
with their plous, not to say per-
sonal, projects.

Mr.. FRANK NJ. PIxLEY, In his
AruondNt. weekly dispenses much
wit and wisdom. and occasionally
he manages to acquit himself of q
few paragraphs which are remark
able for neither. He is very fond
Of talking Of "gentlemenn as con-
tradlstInguIshed from the ordinary
oltissn. Nothing could we'll be
more offensive to the genuine
American than q ceaseless itera-
tlon Of this kind Of talk. We are
not supposed to have any classes In
the United States. Patents of no.
bllity are as yet thing Of the flu.
ture. These paragraphs disagreea.
bly, recall to recollection the tone
sef superiority assumed in the late
campaign by the employers of la
bor. We verify believe that II the
millions Of dlctatorial circulars had
been left imprinted, and if the man.
ufacturers and other employers had
not talked ~ IL they had the right
TO control their employees, the new
Constitution would have been beat.
On BY ct least as large majority
- that by which it was adopted.
When . free-born American knows
that he is expected to vote in par
ticular way he is very likely to go
and vote the other way. This is
human nature-at least American
human nature. The editor of the
Aygonaut and his gentlemen are
likely to succeed In nothing so
much as In making themselves RI
diculous. That kind of political
reformer is generally left in mi
nority notable for its selectness.
We hope that all talk about "gen-
tlemen" and voting as the rich
man desires, will be noticeable for
it, absence in the ensuing cam
palgn. No surer method could be
adopted Of ensuriug the success Of
the elements opposed by the Argo-
ss0ut than simply this un-Republi-
can jargon. II these dictatorlal
s'gsntlemen'' keep in the back
ground, that same mercurial i'm
pulse which has resulted In Cali
ferniA never voting twice the same
way in succession will secure the
defeat of the dangerous elements
which helped to ratify the new
Constitution. II they do not COM
port themselves modestly, how
ever, we shall have grave doubts.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1879-05-27

hl5. ofilcs.seoking plea. We never
saw a defeat accepted with better
grace than was shown by the oppo-
nents of the new Constitution. No
one aims at disturbing the result,
and yet crowd of greedy office
seekers are standing around yelling
'gather the frults"-that is to say,
give us the offices. Should these
worthless fall to get hold of every
office In the State of California,
they would think that a wonderful
amount Of fruit had been left un-
gathered. The people have their
eyes on these pretentious patriots
and we are much mistaken or they
will be left standing as monuments
of selfish and disappointed ambi-
tiOu.

THE San Francisco Call should
have a care. We are afraid that, in
its elation at being reinstated in
the position of Court Journal to
Denis Kearney, it is becoming
rash and headstrong. We find, in
Its issue of Sunday, the following
almost positive utterance:
1t is understood that California
will have to choose at the Septem.
Der election four representatives to
Congress; and that such an event
may transpiro that these Repre-
sentatives will decide who shall be
the next President of the Uunited
States.
"It is understood" that we shall
have to elect four Congressman this
fall is good. 1t Is flight of the
Imagination and bold but con-
servative achievement of express
sion worthy of the immortal gen.
ius of q Pickering himself.

A certain Countess Blavatsky
has, 1t appears, been doing some
marvellous feats In India as q spir-
itualist medium. The Indian DO
lice were disposed at first to look
upon her and her companions of a
so.called Teosophical party as
number of Russian spies; but if the
trick which she has contrived to
