ANY one who leaves the personal
element out of New York politics
will never understand them in
this world. Take the case Of Ho-
ratio Seymour, Jr., the son of the
illustrious Governor of the same
name. At the late election he was
elected Surveyor-General of the
State on the Democratic ticket by
. majority of over ten thousand.
Had Horatio Seymour been the
Democratic candidate against Cor
nell the latter would have been
beaten by fully six thousand ma
jorlty-perhaps more. Seymour
would have received the seventy
thousand votes cast for John Kelly
and he would have been the choice
Of tens of thousands of Republicans,
besides. The sage of Utica un-
doubtedly carries from forty to
fifty thousand votes to the support
of his party. Samuel J. Tilden
certainly commanded this personal
strength until, in an evil hour,
John Kelly set out to play dictator.
To what extent the sage of Gra-
mercy Park has been weakened, as
an available candidate, by the fe-
rocious personal hatred of Tam.
many Hall, it is very hard to say.
Unquestiouably, should he receive
the Democratic nomination for the
Presidency, no such bolt-at least
not 30 formidable bolt-could be
organized against him. At such a
critical stage of national affairs as
the present, the Democracy would
not brook betrayal of the party on
a national scale. But it is very
much question, indeed, whether,
In the person of Horatio Seymour
or Sanford e. Church, the New
York Democracy will not find
their greatest assurance Of
carrying their State. 1t may
be safely said that no name
in the United States would excite
such plaudits from the Democracy
as that Of Horatio Seymour. But
he is old and unwell. His physi-
clans advise the most absolute rest.
Already, after having been nomi-
mated, he ordered his name to be
taken from the Democratic ticket
for Governor, on account of his in
firm condition. This peculiar situ-
alton in New York gives great
strength to the Bayard and Han
cock "booms."

THE Argonaut is disgusted with
the amount of "gush" of which
Southe IN California has been the
beneficiary. The fact is that the
editor of that journal only visited
this section during a period of
drouth and when the country
looked very unattractive outside of
the limits of our orange groves.
Had he come to Los Angeles dur
ing the wet season, when orange
blossoms perfumed the air, he
would have sang in different key.
Not only did the petulant Plxley
drop down amongst us at an unpro-
pitious season, but he closely
Rugged his special car during the
whole period of his visit. Rail-
ways notoriously always ruu
through the least attractive por-
tions of city; or, rather, they are
generally aligned by the cheapest
properties, which guarantee the
most direct route, and the right of
way through which can be acquired
at the least cost. We assure the
Argonaut that Los Angeles county
deserves good deal of "gush." We
confine ourselves to our own neigh
borhood, our brethren of the press
being amply able to take care OF
their own sections. No man of
means and energy can possibly
make a mistake in coming to this
section. What is more, after q
years. residence here, he will write
to his friends of the attractions OF
the climate, the promise of the soil
the exuderance and variety of the
productions of Los Angeles county
far more glowingly than we permit
ourselves to do so. In addition,
every settler of means who comes
here now, and invests in real es-
tate at the present low prices, will
earn O fabulous interest on his in
vestment. We do not propose to
indulge in fancy sketches or
"gush,n but we are determined
that the truth shall be known
about this section, even though
certain hypercritical journalists OF
San Francisco should be outraged
by the liberty we take. We file O
caveat against the truthful appli-
cation of the ArgonauPs remarks
to Los Angeles county.

a rempess in a Teapot.

The Republican press is making
great ado about the undoubted
fact that a cordial union is fore
shadowed between the Democracy
and the Workingmen in the COM
Ing Presidential election. They
are infinitely distressed about the
lack OF dignity shown by Gov. Ir-
win and his advisers. The Argo-
nout is particularly exercised con-
cerning an alliance which it covert
ly interprets as destructive to the
hope OF the Republicans carrying
this State next Fall. Meanwhile,
It Is pleasant to know that the sup
posed high contracting powers are
perfectly easy in their minds. They
are not conscious Of being parties
to any iniquities of any kind what
ever. The fact is that all this talk
about conspiracy between certain
Democratic leaders and the influ-
ential men in the councils of the
Workingmen is all the merest
bosh. AS to the cordiality of feel
ing which has sprung up between
the two elements that is undoubted.
That the Workingmen as a body
are preparing to gravitate towards
the Democracy in the fateful strug-
gle which is approaching, and to
do 1t without bargaining and huck-
stering of any kind, is even so.
Not to assume such an attitude
would be a confession on their part
that they really desired to see a
moneyed oligarchy, which would
be contemptuous of the rights of
the poor man, established in the
United States. Whatever faults
the average Workingman may see
in the party management in Cali
fornia, he well knows that the Ma
tional Democracy is really genuine
ly desirous of having return to
the old order of things, in which
the people should be, in the future,
as in the past before the days OF
Republican ascendancy, governed
rs little as possible. They perceive
with hatred, and loathing, the pre-
objection of the Republicans for a
"strong government These
statements as to the sentiments of
the Workingmen are not assump-
tions on our part. They can be ver-
ified by any one who chooses to use
his ears.

the General sees that he can be
elected he will want the nomina-
tion, and want 1t badly. II, how
ever, after careful survey of the
field, he comes to the conclusion
that he would be beaten if he were
to run, he would probably, on the
"sour grapes" principle, strike an
attitude of patriotic self-sacrifice.
Shrewdness and bulldog determine
tlon are the leading characteristics
of Grant. His acceptance of the
nomination for a third term would
be strong evidence that he thought
he could be elected. His opinion is
by no means one TO be despised.
We cannot help thinking, though,
that the love of the precedents set
by Washington and his immediate
successors is too strong in the
hearts of the American people to
be soon overridden. This imme-
mortal usage of the Republic would
make an otherwise strong candi-
date weak. The remarks quoted as
from Pacheco by the Chronicle
show considerable sagacity and
more capacity for just political re-
Election than we had given the ex-
Governor credit with. While the
hero of Appommattox is receiving
such unlimited adulation in the
Eastern States, it would not be
amiss if some one should sene him
this excellent reminder of his duty.
Grant is now truly the most popu-
lar of Americans. That statement
involves the reflection that he has
fearful height to fall fro

THE TIMES ROLL GALL.

After calling names and fixing the respon-
sibility Of the defeat OF the Senate amend
ment TO the Postofficc appropriation bill sub
sidizing the Brazilian mail line upon the
| Democrats in Congress- the Times contents
itself with the comment that "the Southern
people are sending the wrong men 10 Con
gress.' This comment Is supplemented by n
lot OF miscellaneous abuse and ytupcration
the sum and substance Of which only goes ID
show that there is ono thing the Times hates
worse than Northern Democrat, and that is
a Southern Democrat
Perhaps word Of explanation may be ap-
propriate from us by way of preface. since
the DEMOCRAT has advocated this particular
measure with much more persistence than
the Times or any other Southern paper
Since Its defeat we have also attacked Mr..
Randall and other agencies that contributed
to Its defeat which we had just reason to be-
lleye were correct. We cannot, however.
sympathze with or indorse the arg,tment,lna
~ homoem TO which the Times resorts or the
deduction to which the argument leads, that
all the Democrats who voted against it are
villains and malignant enemies of the South.
We csndidly confess that in advocating the
Brazilian mail subsidy we were actuated by
purely local considerations. We knew that
the amendment to the Postofiice appropria-
ton bill granting the subsidy embodied all
the most obnoxious features Of the existing
navigation laws to which we are unalterably
opposed; still we urged the measure because
u was the best we could hope for from Con-
gress in one branch of which the Repub-
lcans had the ascendancy. So long as the
odlous navigation laws were left to disgrace
our statute books, bring American intelli-
gence INTO dsrepute and cripple American en-
terprlse and commerce, we saw no reason
why New Orleans should be Disseminated
against because their provisions were applied
to measure specially designed for her adj
vancement. This, however, was cariare for
Republican Senate.
Now the situation Is entirely changed that
the Democratic party has come into control
Of both houses Of Congress. HencefOrward
we stand on principle and have no word for
eHpediency. In this spirit, we have no word
81 condemnation for any Democrat who voted
against this measure on principle though it |
Will be difficult task to convince us that a
great many who contributed to its defeat
were actuated by any such consideration. |
.st lalhly no Republican can set up preteuse /
- any such virtuous inspiration.
Now we insist upon the amendment of the I
aslgation laws and the repeal of those pro-
'sions which forbid Americans To purchase

/ Somebody sends the PicaWtne these two
questions with request to answer them:

| Docs the Pcdytrle believe TINT Tho neonle ~
Louisiana should continue to pay the present
rate of interest e per cent? upon NIL tho bonds
validated by the funding net Of 1852
! Our answer is that as soon as the Pcay,u,e
considers IL necessary to repeat its Views ON
these two points-both of which have been
already discussed in its columns IL will do
50 without waiting for questions or requests
from ANYBODY. If the person who sends us
these questions had read the Itcay1tne he
would have known exactly what the Plea
yit1c views are on the topics referred to- Ifh he
wants more light on the subject he will have
to wait until we have time to attend to him
The "person" who sent these questions has
read the PicGg,uae and fails to find exactly
what the Picag1me's views are on the topics
referred to-" There are some vague illusions
to the debt running through It's columns for
the past month or two. but there is nothing
which can even by implication be construed
into plain answer to the above questions
which the DEMOCRAT propounded yesterday
morning. The Picdyuee seems to be CROPPING
In the dark for position upon the subject of
the State debt with a general leaning towards
the bondholder's view. That it has expressed
positive opinion upon that subject, or that
it has views, In any accepted meaning OF that
term, the DEMOCRAT denies and challenges it
to produce such opinion or "view" from its
columns.
We do not ask the Picay,tne to "repeat"
anything. What we desire to know in the
public interest without any more lodging,
equivocation or evasion, is a reply to the
above questions, and to the following in addl-
ton:
Does the Picnguoe believe that the five and
half mill interest tax should be maintained
and continued as charge upon the people of
the State?
If, as ts claimed, these questions have been
answered heretofore, we challenge a reproduc-
ton of the articles or at least the information
as to the Issue Of the Picay4ae in which thew
can be found. AS the matter now stands. the
F'cdyune has retreated behind weak subter-
fuge.
The attitude OF the Times is far more
manly. That paper has defined its position
IN way which cannot be misunderstood RI
holds to the bondholder's view, pure and sim
pie, and has the Independence to say 60 Not
50 with the Picay,me. It tntimates and in.
sinuates and in a weak way seeks 70 old
the Times in its fight for the bonds: but no.
where can we find a positive declaration Of
Its position; anything tangible enough to he
as an emphatic opinion.
Inc people have right to know how avarv

public sentiment stands upon this question
OF the State debt, the most momentous issna
