Leaving here, a drive of ten miles up the
river and through the Yellowstone canyon
brings US into the upper Yellowstone valley.
This canyon is about four miles in length and
contains some very rare and beautiful scenery,
such as one only finds when travelling in
mountainous country. The sides of the
mountains on either side of the river ap
proach it very closely. In many places
through this canyon the projecting rocks
form a massive wall, which in many places
is hundreds of feet high. The trail followed
was rather a difficult one to pursue during
the season of high water. At last we left
the lower trail and took the one leading
around spur of the mountain in sight Of
the Yellowstone country above.

MUTlNY THE SAND LOTS.
--latest advices from San Francisco rep

Latest advices from San Francisco repre-.
sent wild state of division and discord
among the rabble that formerly recognized
Kearney as dictator and held their orgies a,
the Sand Lots. While Dennis was away at
Chicago, acting as door-keeper for the con.
vention that nominated Weaver, the enemy
entered his Garden of Eden and seduced
many OF his liegemen. In other words, the
Democratic managers of San Francisco have
induced large section of Kearney's follow
ers to join them, with Mayor Kalloch in the
lot. Kearney returns, boasting that Weaver
is to sweep the Country, that Republicans and
Democrats are vieing with each other to be
first to tender their allegiance, to find that
his own cohorts, on whom he has wasted the
fragrance of his obscenity and profanity, are
in open mutiny. Whether his presence will
revive bis power is very doubtful. His man
ner and methods are not attractive even to
the rough characters among whom he has
mingled. He has no definite aims beyond
exaiting himself as power of mischief. We
rejoice at his dethronement by almost any
means, chiefly on account of the poor, delud-
ed victims that he kept in idleness and on the
constant verge of riot. These men were all
capable of earning an honest and comfort
able living for themselves and families with
the time wasted in brawling and Matching
conspiracies.
A large part of this motley crew has Joined
the Democratic party, and is quite ready to
split its throat hurrahing for military nomi-
nee, monopolist and platform that de-
nounces communism. Well, We wish the Dem
ocracy much joy in its new acquisition. We
know their votes count just as much as those
Of good men. We will seek and, with little
doubt, find consolation in the fact that the
presence of those outlaws in the Democratic
camp will drive out as many decent men into
the Republican ranks, and therelative strength
in numbers will not be materially changed,
while in all the higher attributes of strength
and power the gain will be heavily in favor
Of the Republicans. All the efforts to attach
the young, enterprising, free State of Cali
fornia as tail feather to the Democratic kite
of Solid South will prove utterly vain
When the gallant Senator from Maine, who

New YORK World: 1t is not too early for
the Presidential campaign to invite the atten-
ton of our esteemed contemporaries to the
fact that what is called political ''mud-throw-
ing has really ceased to affect the fortunes
either of parties or individuals. So far as
the Democratic party is concerned it is very
important that this should be understood. To
call General Garfield or General Arthur 'spet
names" of the old regulation Calender pat
tern and belabor them with superlatiye epi-
thets will have only one possible effect. |,

make sensible people in general Indifferent to

The Democratic press say that Hancock
never violated the majesty of the civil law.
This statement is not borne out by the facts
of history. He refused to obey writ of
AG6eas corpus for the surrender of Mrs. Sur
raft to the civil authorities, months after
peace had been declared and when the writ
of hdbeas corpus was restored as the safeguard
of American liberty. A thorough soldier,
Hancock has always held the civil subordi-
nate to the military authority.

CONSULAR JURISDICTION.

Not all our readers, possibly, are aware
that American Ministers and Consuls ever
in Mahometan countries, China and Japan
have the jurisdiction to try all American citi
zens for offenses committed by them against
the laws of those countries Minister May.
nard, at Constantinople, recently tried nat.
uralized American citizen for the murder OF
an Egyptian, and sentenced him to death.
Other cases have occurred before in which
the penalty of death has been imposed by
our foreign Ministers, though never carried
into effect. We are informed in this last case
that Secretary Evarts has given his decision
that no man shall suffer death upon such a
conviction while he holds office Our consti-
tuition guarantees to every citizen a right of
trial by jury, and it is well argued that if by
treaty with any half-civlized nation we re-
serve the right, or have it accorded to US, to
try our own citizens according to our own
laws, the constitutional right of trial by jury
attaches at once. The only exception is in
favor of martial law over the military forces
on land and sea. 1t is held that Congress
cannot confer upon Ministers and Consuls
any such powers as they now exercise under
cover of treaties. The death sentence in for
mer cases has been commuted to imprison-
ment for, five years, and probably the same
course will be taken in this last case. In each
of these cases it is claimed that the facts con-
stitute manslaughter only and not murder.
But the difficulty is not met by mitigation of
sentence. If the constitutional right of trial
by jury exists wherever jurisdiction is con-
ceded by treaty IN foreign countries, it would
apply as well in all criminal cases, man
slaughter as we'll as murder, and we see no
reason why person sentenced by foreign
Minister cannot sue out writ of ha6eas COR
pus and have the validity of his sentence tried
by our Supreme Court.
When an American citizen suffers violence
at the hands of any native of those countries
we are very swift to demand satisfaction and
punishment. 1t would be poor example to
set if we refuse or neglect to punish with
equal promptitude and with something of the |
same severity those of our own citizens who
commit crimes in those same countries. We
must not make American citizenship CITY
of refuge for criminals. The justice we de-
mand we must be willing to bestow. 1t is
question that requires legislative action, and
the wonder is that hundred years have gone
by without having it brought before our Su-
preme Court and Congress, the defects dis
covered and the proper remedies applied.

A MEXICAN POMPEII.

The correspondent of The New York
World resident at the City of Mexico
writes as follows, under date of Septem-
ber 4, ofthe finding of buried Aztec
city,
At length Messrs Lorillard and Char
nay have immortalized themselves.
Charnay has discovered what he very
properly terms "the Indian or Mexican
Pompeii,'' city buried for at least l 900
years.
In my last | mentioned the discovery
of villa near Tulla. That house has
now been partly uncovered, and found
to contain twenty-five rooms, fifteen
staircases and twelve corridors. Attach
ed to it are two cisterns, with clay pipes,
which were used to convey water to the
different apartments. Some Of the
household utensils are of coarse clay, a
few porcelain, and one article of glass.
Remember Tullan, the capital of the
Toltec Empire, covered not only the site
of the present town of Tulla, but the
spot where Mr.. Charney discovered the
villa, a.Id now he is unearthing near the
former building large palace. Perhaps
during these excavations he may find
historical data that will clear up all mys-
terry with regard to the origin of the first
inhabitants of the Western Continent.
On the 18th ultimo Mr.. Charnay an
nounced to LIE Trait de Union, of this
city, merely the discovery of palace,
but made no allusion to any architectural
peculiaritie. We have, however, heard
that the NUNS recently unearthed are
more distinctly Asiatic in style than any
Toltec remains now known. In the
course of few days we shall receive
further particulars.
Mr.. Charnay also had the good for
tune to find the bones of some gigantic
animals. The remains are. now en- route
to this capital.

The examination Of Anna Stratter, in the

since her arrest Her mother, upon
questioning her whether she was guilty
party or not, and making the sign of
the Catholic cross, calling on her in the
name of the church to tell the truth,
then, and not till then, did she confess
that she was the guilty party. She was
visited by reporter, and tells the follow
ing story: II went to church in the after
noon with my sister, and upon returning
home [ found the house closed I called
for Nancy, the deceased, and received no
reply She was visiting neighbor some
way from the house. [ was home about
half an hour when Nancy returned. [

on the floor with both hands and picked

her in the neck and then in the face

her until some of the neighbors came to

one of the party in search of her, found

WHY COL. INGERSOL is NOT A
DEMOCRAT.

[ am opposed to the democratic party,
and want to tell why: Every ordinance
of secession ever drawn was drawn by a
Democrat. Every man that tried to tear
the old flag from the heavens that it en-
riched was Democrat Every man that
shot Union soldiers was Democrat.
Every man that starved Union soldiers,
refusing them crust in the extremity of
death, was a Democrat. The man that
assassinated Abraham Lincoln was a
Democrat Every man that sympathized
with the assassin-every man that was
glad that the noblest President ever elect
ed was assassinated-was a Democrat.
Every man that wanted the privilege of
whipping another man to make him work
for nothing and pay him with lashes on
his naked back was a Democrat Every
man that sold babes from the breasts of
shrieking, shuddering mothers was a
Democrat. Every man that impaired
the credit of the United States was a
Democrat. Every man that swore that
he would never pay the bonds, every man
that swore he would never redeem the
greenbacks, every maligner of his coun-
try's credit, calumniator of his country's
honor, was a Democrat. Every man
that resisted the draft, every man that
hid in the bushes and shot at Union men
simply because they were endeavoring to
enforce the laws of their country, was a
Democrat. Every man that cursed
Lincoln because he issued the emancipa-
ton proclamation, was a Democrat.
Every man who believed that a state
could 60 out Of the Union at its pleasure,
and every man who believed the grand
fabric of American government could be
made to crumble instantly into dust at
the touch of treason, was a Democrat.
Every man that helped to burn orphan
asylums in the city of New York was
Democrat. Every man that tried to fire
New York although he knew thousands
would perish, and that the great serpents
of fame leaping from building to building
would clutch children in their mothers
arms-eyery wretch that did it was a
Democrat. Recollect it! Every man that
tried to spread the small pox and yellow
fever in the North was a Democrat.
Soldiers, every scar that you have ON
your heroic bodies was given to you by
Democrat. [ am Republican.

The figures 329 have been extensively
posted and painted about the streets of
towns and cities recently. 1t is the work
of the Democratic campaign managers,
and is designed in some way to injure
General Garfield. But, being asked the
meaning of those figures, The Albany
Evening Journal explains that they are
intended to advertise to the world
the fact that General Hancock pays
1929 for the corsets he wears. It says
when his hackers are asked what are
Hancocks views on the tariff, the cur
rency and other public questions, they
reply. eve have to say that General
Hancock has no views upon the finances
or the tariff, but he wears just the love-
liest pair of corsets (price $329) that were
ever seen."
