The sober, thinking voters of the coun-
try, having satiated their esthetic tastes
by gazing for considerably more than a
month upon the superb figure-head of
the Democratic party, are beginning TO
yield to the investigating impulses of all
true American citizens, and, in pursu-
ance thereof, have, in many cases, ven
tured to inspect more fully the general
features of the political curiosity con.
ceived and brought forth by the Cincin,
natl convention. Competent judges, who
have carefully rounded up" the hybrid
production, are quite unanimous IN the
verdict that the symmetry and comeli
ness of the front view only intensifies 10y

prophesy that 10000 Democrats would
not vote for him. He cited the case of

Since the blowing up Of his winter
palace the Car OF Russia has arrived
ut the conclusion that he is not compe-
tent to eounteraet the Vaccinations Of
his enemies, 30 he has put everything
into the hands OF Gen. AIelikoff. The
following ulSaso was issued by the Car
on the 25th ult:
"Beiug firmly determined to put an
end to tho repeated attempts Of crimi-
mails TO undermine the order Of state
and Of society, supreme commission
is established in 81 Petersburg for the
protection Of order. Gen. Melikoir is
appointed to the head Of the commis-
sion and the appointment Of It's other
members will be made ON Gen. Aieli-
kon's suggestion by imperial ordinance.
The head Of the commission has, more.
o~er, the right TO summon all whose
presence he may consider useful, in or
der 10 give united character to the com
mission. Ho may set aside the author
ity Of tho commander ia chief Of st.
Petersburg and shall have direct con
troll over ali political trials held in the
capital or the military district Of Sc.
Petersburg or throughout the empire.
All local authorities, the governor gen
erai and town commanders are placed
under the Jurisdiction Of tho head Of
the commission, and all the employees in
the various departments arc bound TO
afford him their entire cooperation.
The head Of the commission is at hbcr-
~ to adopt any means which may mp.
pear desirable for the protection Of or
der IN the empire, and the orders that
he may issue arc 10 be uncondisionally
obcyed. The Office Of provisional gov
ernor general Of st. Petersburg is abol
ishcd.
Immediately after his appointment
Gen. MelikoG issued a proclamation
After referring TO the indignation frll
IN Russia and Europe at the attempt,
ON the life Of the emperor, he declares
the government compelled to adopt ef-
feetual measures for the suppression oi
the evil threatening social order. Gen
AIelikoT says that he recognizes the
difficulty Of this task, and will not en-

mediate success. IIe will not hesitate
to take most stringent measures for the
pnnishment Of criminals, while endeav
oring on the other hand TO tranquilize

The San Francisco B3iletin Of Feb.
2lst gives great deal Of authentic in
formation touching the condition Of
crops in California. It says a careful
study Of the reports it has received
Warrants the conclusion that the agri-
cultural outlook has seldom been bet
ter. Not only is the acreage Of cereals
much greater than ever before, but the
distribution Of moisture has on the
whole been remarkably even for Cali
fornia. Some of our reports were dated
before the last rain, which has covered
the gre,ter part of the State. There
are always spots where the rainfall is
light But these areas are compare
lively small this year. The complaints
are very few. Iud.cl, il would be hard
to point ont district or neighborhood
just now where there is :much ground
for discouragement. The low tempsra-
ture Of the winter has not, on the
whole, done very great damage, Lime,
lemon and young orange-trees have been
killed to some extent, as well as some
other young shrubs. In some cases
focks have suffered from cold and short
PASTURES There is a fair prospect Of
spring rains. The skies are overcast
most of the time. There is still week
of February left, and March and April
may be considered within the .smoist
belt" It is not 80 much the quantity
of rain which falls, as the manner Of
distribution, which insures crops. There
has been no excess Of moisture, but the
distribution has been very favorable.
The mountains have great stores Of
snow, and the river sources are well
supplied for the dry season, If the
spring rains come in moderate quantity,
and the distribution is faxOrahley with
the greatly increased acreage already
seeded, the aggregate crops of California
win greatly exceed those Of any previous
year."

that these friends were acting in the
most diainterested way, on their own
hook, so to speak, and that poor Ingalls,
knew nothing Of the crimes committed
ia his namo and for his advantage, The
committee docs not say what it thinks
Of tho corrupt proposition made by
General Ingalls, to Governor Anthony.

that in matters of this kind 1t is better
to lot bygonea DO bygones. Possibly
many Of them know the obstacles some
times to be encountered in oblpining a
reelection, and recall tho means resort
ed To in their own cases. The first step
towards such result as has been
reached was in the delay Of action until
Ingalls, had ample time to "fx" the
worst evidence against him. That his
election was bought and paid for with
Jay Goulds money, those who know
most about II still have no doubt.
