contemporary that we do not hesitate to
reproduce them. After stating that in
1878 Mr.. Page defeated Coggins twhom it
very unkindly refers to as neither an
able nor popular man y by $50 ma
jority, it proceeds: I" In 1875 there were
three candidates, and the vote was as
follows: For Page. 1854; for Larkin
"Dem.1, u, 1873; for Tuttle tInd.l, $3.50.
Page over Larkin, l,470; opposition over
Page, 4, ll9. In 1877 there were but
60 two candidates, and the vote was !:
page. 20,Sl5; Carpenter, 1916; ma
"jority for Page, 5,lOl." Finding that
the figures thus far do not help its theory,
the Chronicle absurdly attempts to lessen
the significance of Carpenters defeat in a
square party fight by adding, but Car
"penter was perhaps the least popular
man in his party, and he made
g no effort to beat his friend Page"
This is fapdoodle, which, according
to Peter Simple, is the stuff fools
are fed on. It is notorious that Car
penter was and is extremely popular in
his party, and that he made every effort of
which he was capable to beat his friend :"
Page. But to resume our quotation In
"lS79 there were again three candidates,
with this result Page, 1886; Clunie
"(Dem.l, 1881; Williams wv. P. ca,
SIS, 1879; Page over all, l,40o." We have
cheerfully reproduced these figures, be-
cause they show, in the most conclusive
manner, that Page has been more than a
match for all the combinations that could
be formed against him, every time he has
been candidate. The Democrats have
tried him in "a square fight twice, and twice
they have been beaten. On two other
occasions they have divided their forces.
On one at least they drew some strength
from the Republicans by third-party
movement. But the result has been the
same no matter what the combination.
The Democratic efforts to solve this
Is l5-l4 game have in every case re-
suited in their discontinue. In 1877 the
vote was square one between the parties.
Then Pages majority was 5000. All the
figures go to show that 10000 Repub-
licans and $4,000 Democrats is about the
natural division of party strength in the
District, for whoever will take the trouble
to examine the third party vote will per-
ceive that when properly distributed among
the old parties they leave the aggegate just
what We have said. Thus in 1879 the
Workingmen's candidate, Williams, polled
5, l39 votes; Page having 1886, and
Clunie II, SAT. 1t is here plain enough
that Williams drew about ], 800 from Page,
and 3, 500 from Clunie, and it follows that
if Clunie had been Pago's only competitor,
the latter would have Beaten him as easily
as in 1877 he beat Carpenter. We thank
the Chronicle for its figures, for though
they were no doubt printed out of hearty
malice towards Page, they come seasonably
to convince Republicans throughout the
Second District that their candidate has
every prospect of being elected, since they
Democratic votes enough in the district to
beat him, whether they call themselves
Democrats, or Greenbackers, or Working
men, or anything else.

WONDERFUL TRoTTNG.

st. Julien, the California horse, has just
trotted mile in 2:ll4. Maud S. trotted
a mile in the same time, but st. Julien
trotted another mile in 2:l31, and it is to
be noted that his wonderful time was made
on his second mile, whereas Maud S. made
hers on her first mile. These performances
show that it is altogether unsafe to set any
limit to the speed attainable by trotters in
these days of scientific breeding and train
ing. A few years ago 2:20 was thought a
miraculous burst of speed. Then 2:lS
made its performer the hero of the turf.
When 0ccident made 2:l6 it was consid-
cred extraordinary. But now 2:l12 has
been made by two horses at the same time,
and st. Julien made this time under cir.
cumstances which warrant the belief that
he will some day do even better. One
enthusiastic frequenter OF the turf pre-
dicted several years ago that time would
come when mile would be trotted IN
minutes, and really the idea seems to look
less extraysgant every year.

And whether the proceedings which re-
suit in such a notification of law are Gov
cred by prescription or not, it is for the
public to reflect upon the pernicious and
demoralizing effects they produce. In all
cases the effectiveness of punishment de-
ponds upon its certainty, and next to its GER
tainty, upon its swiftness. Gan immedi-
ate punishment says Beccaria, sis more
q useful, because the shorter the interval
" between the punishment and the crime,
'' the stronger and more lasting will be
s. the association of the two ideas OF crime
{" and punishment, so that they may be
Z" coineident, one as the cause, and the
.sother as the unavoidable and necessary
8 effect. The truth of this philosophy
has been recognized by the most able
iurists since Beccaria's time, and in
thoroughly organized societies it is steadily
acted upon. We however have through
general carelessness suffered procrastination
in our weightiest criminal cases to grow
into custom, and one result is that crirni-
nails are regarded as somehow entitled to a
DELAY of several months between the COM
mission of the offense and the trial. The
general consequences of this state of things
are decidedly mischievous. The masses
see that when men possessing rich and IN
fuential friends commit even the grossest
violations of law, they are able to
stave off trial for long time, and then so
to manipulate Me surroundings that light
sentence or an acquittal is almost assured.
And inevitably it comes to be believed
that the crimes which stand highest on the
calendar are not really the most heinous,
Swift Justice may, perhaps, follow the
wretch who snatches purse in the street
or breaks into house at night with felo'
NOUS purpose, but let some educated, well
clothed man kill another with every cir
cumstance of treachery and ferocity, anc
the victims blood may cry aloud to HEAVIER
for vengeance long enough without avail
Perhaps it is creditable to the ingenuity O
criminal lawyers who thus avail themselves
of legal methods to defeat Justice ant
strike down the protection of innocence
but the result of their astuteness upoI
psblic morals and civilization is wholly
evil, and their employment is, in fact, pre-
judicial to the best interests of the com
monwealth. The continued failure of th'
apparently feeble and pithless efforts o
the public prosecutors to procure the con
viction and punishment of the most flag
rant law breakers can have but one issue
1t familiarizes the public with the triumph
OF crime over law, and it conveys the lessor
! that it is only necessary to violate the Law

TIE WATER QUESTION.

1t should not be necessary to urge the
people of Sacramento to fresh exertions for
the procurement of better quality of
water than that which is now endured by
us. The one circumstance that the Branch
Prison at Folsom is now fairly started on
its mission of polluting still further the
already filthy waters which this long-slf-
fering community uses, should suffice to
stimulate our people to renewed efforts. 1t
may be thought an enviable distinction by
some persons to be able to say that they
drink the dirtiest water that descends any
American outlets, but the advantages of
mud as a beverage are not sufficiently ap-
preciated to make their boast a very salts
factory one Perhaps 1t may move some
of our spathetic citizens to point out to
them that the sufferance of this nasty
water is anything but proof OF enterprise,
and that city which has been accustomed
to brag Of its wonderful pluck and persist
ence ought to have overcome this NUS
ance great many years ago. No
doubt this Indifference to the virtues
and excellences of pure water has been
fostered and strengthened by kind of
idiots who have taken it upon them to
maintain in round terms the superiority OF
dirty water, and have undertaken to de-
monstrate that the wholesomeness of the
liquid was in inverse proportion to its
purity By listening to these topsy-turvy
philosophers many worthy but simple citi-
zsns have become persuaded that dirt in
water is the surest proof of its goodness,
and that clear water is poisonous. OF course
when these marvellous theories are adj
vanced beyond the city limits they excite
astonishnent and mirth, but here they
have become familiar, and ars listened to
without repugnance. 1t is time all such
nonsense was brushed away, however, for
the obstinate adherence to foul water is
growing to be more and more an injury
and drawback to the city, and those who
desire its advancement should unite to
urge this reform.

ton of their politics, by their obstinate
clinging to barbarism, by their want of en-
terprise and industry. and by their reckless
indulgence in sectional animosity. In fact
the South has done all it could have done
to exclude settlement and to prevent itself
from being restored to prosperity, and it
has succeeded only too well in this policy.
Nevertheless the country is asked to be-
heve that in this period OF stagnation and
torpor seven of the Southern States,
namely, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Missouri, Texas, Virginia and Delaware,
have made an aggregate gain of 2,756, $50,
or an average increase of nearly 43 per
cent. since the census of 1870 was
taken. The Corier-Jounal, commenting
on these assertions, observes that the coun-
try will be surprised to learn how the
South has gained. The country would
have been more surprised had not Mr..
Watterson's paper revealed the true in
wardness of the new enumeration by
stating that there were probably many
mistakes committed in the enumeration
" of 1870 in the South, as the enumerators
"there then were generally of lower or
"der of intelligence than those now en-
"ployed, and they were susceptible to the
political influence which desired the Con-
"gressional representation from that Sec
''tion to be kept at its lowest figure. :"
The unavoidable inference from this is that
this year the enumerators were chosen
with a special view to correcting the al
legged errors of the last canvass, and that
consequently the representation has been
put at its highest figure. This is no doubt
the truth, and indeed many facts point to
it as being so. 1t is not to be supposed,
however, that the North will tamely SUBJ
NIT to be cheated out of its proper repre-
sentation by such fraudulent methods, and
no doubt the head of the Census Bureau
will know how to protect the integrity of
the enumeration.

WHAT DIoGoNEs WAS AFTER. strik.
ing instance of how easily epigrams lend
themselves to misquotation is afforded by
famous anecdote of Diogones. Laertins
relates. in his life of the cynic, that
he took lamp in broad daylight and
began peering anxiously through the
streets of Athens as though in search of
something very valuable. When asked
what he was seeking, the reply as ordina-
rilv quoted, is: q am looking for an
honest man y but the real answer, as
given by the biographer, is simply: II
am looking for man ''-anthropon sato
The cynic had temporarily abandoned his
tub ito see man" He was not looking
for an honest man, but for man in whom
honesty, along with other qualities, could
be found. Honesty was not what Diogo-
mes was in search Of 1t was clean hands.
Clean hands in matters of money among
the young ought to be an indispensable
oualifcat on of gentlemanliness. No man
that borrows and does not care whether he
pays or not, is a gentleman, no matter
how witty, or gay, or fine he may be. To
speak good, plain English, the man who
dresses himself at another's expense, know
ing not how to pay, nor caring whether
he pays or not, is genteel scoundrel.

THE PRINCIPLES OF LEE AND JACKSON.

When Wade Hampton told the people
of Virginia that the issues of this campaign
were "the principles Lee and Jackson
fought for during four years, he no doubt
understood his audience, and knew what
sentiment would move them 1t is true
that the spectacle of Union General at
the head of party contending for Lee and
Jackson's principles is rather odd one,
and calculated to give pause to simple
men who do not understand subtleties.
Precisely what General Hancock has to do
with the principles for which Lee and
Jackson fought is question which may
harass and perplex him at some future
time. It is, however, very clear that the
Southern people have by no means aban-
doned those principles, and it would seem
to follow that they count upon General
Hancock s surrender of his distinctive views
upon national issues. The idea which the
that General Hancock's Unionism has been
adopted by his party, unfortunately re-
ceives it's quietus at the hands of Wade
Hampton. No doubt he spoke for South
ern ears alone, but in these days of short.
hand reporting and telegraphing there IS
no such thing as secrecy possible, and SO
his words return to plague his Northern
colleagues, and to expose the real signiti-
canoe of their policy. Wade Hampton is
a man of character, and when he says that
the South is still fighting for the principles
of Lee and Jackson, we are compelled to
believe him. He is a representative South.
erner moreover, and speaks with authority.
But if the South is still fighting for those
principles it follows that the North must
continue to fight against them, for the
principles of Lee and Jackson can never be
accepted north of Mason and Dixon's line
while the power which crushed the REBEL
ion remains unbroken. Wade Hampton
no doubt spoke the truth, but if his words
were calculated to rouse Virginia to action,
they are not less calculated to consolidate
the North against Hancock and sill he
stands for.

The Murchie mine, Nevada City, is
moving its machinery to the new shaft now
being sunk. The location is about 500 feet
west of the old incline, and the shaft Is
down to the 200-foo level. A drain tunnel
is also being run to tap the new shaft at
the 20O-foot level, a distance of $50 feet;
When about $50 feet of the tunnel had
been run, fine five-foot ledge OF ore was
struck. The ledge was also struck So IN tne
shaft, short distance above the zoo-ioos
level. A fine 3O-stamp mill is to be erected
close to the hosting works, so that the ore
can be conveyed to the mill through chute
from the shaft, thus saving the cost and
time Of running it on cars over the tramway
, distance of $50 feet. Ten stamps are now
being run, and the mill is furnished ed with
eight of Frue's concentrators. The sui
phurets average 81 per cent, or about J
tons to 20 tons OF ore.
