there, to stimulate enterprise, and to pro-
mote the general well, being. The diver
sion of capital to New York involves the
diversion of all these indirect effects of cap
ital. 1t means that New York is to enjoy
an access of prosperity which belonged
legitimately to San Francisco. 1t means
that while the attractions of the first city
will be increased, the attractions of the
second city will be diminished. 1t means
that the growth of San Francisco is to be
checked, and every such check always
tends to intensity itself.
Money breeds money, and capital at
tracts capital. When, from such causes as
have operated in this case, there occurs
stampede in particular line of invest
ments. there is strong tendency among
other investments to join in the panic
rush. 1t is necessary to point out the real
significance OF this movement clearly, be-
cause nothing short of realization of its
full meaning is likely to produce change
for the better. The plain truth is that
California is being ruined by dema-
gogues. There is no use in attempting to
ignore the fact. The persistent commu-
nistic assaults upon capital, the deter
mined attempts to apply the most per-
nicious features of the new Constitution
in their most malignant way, the continual
appeals to violence at every step, the blind
hostility to property and its representa-
tives exhibited too often by those who
should be the very pillars of the social
fabric-all combine to mark the State out
as an undesirable place of abode for enter
prising and wealthy men, and all conspire
to strengthen the exodus of capital which
appears now to have set in so alarmingly.
1t is not by shallow efforts to show that we
are better off without capital, that this
serious evil can be met 1t is not by rails
ing the old cry of sour grapes that we can
avert the consequences of this movement.
Nothing can do that but such change of
policy as will convince the world that Cal
ifornia is not hot-bed of Communism
and class warfare, and that it is not
the wish of this community to put a
brand upon thrift and energy, and to
make the possession of capital INSIDE
meanor. There are some who supported
the new Constitution, and who now seem
to think themselves under obligations to
maintain that it contains nothing but
what is good. Ii these martyrs to mis-
taken notion of consistency would only
realize that the destinies of great Com
monwealth are in issue, and that a cam.
paign error is light matter in the long
run, they could do more good in their
generation by helping those who never
fell into this blunder, to repair it as far
as that is possible. Demagogism, trucu-
lent assaults upon capital, legislative raids
upon property, must, however, be put
down by public opinion before any change
for the better can be anticipated

Attempt the Burn a schOoI.h0use sheep
Diving.

PORTLAND, February 23j.-An unsuccess-
full attempt was made last night to burn the
large school-house near West Union, in
Washington county. Coal oil was poured on
a pile of stoye-wood and set on fire. For
some cause the fire went out after partially
consuming the wood. The Goals were found
by the teachers this morning when they
came to open the school. The tracks OF two
men were found in the snow, which led into
the woods near by. The authorities are fer
reting out the matter, and it is thought the
incendiaries will be found.
Great numbers of sheep are reported dying
in Douglas county.

n,ittee of Safety.

SAN FRANcIsco, February 23d. On the
sand lot yesterday Denis kearney was I'M
usually bloodthirsty. He read written
speech, and also resolution asserting that
the refusal of corporations to comply with
the law justified a resort to force, aud recon-
mended that collection be taken for the
Immediate erection of gallows on the sand
lot The resolution was put to vote and car
red with much enthusiasm and loud cheers.
He continued: 1.-The guns which the people
paid for are in the hands of the peoples en-
emies-the police and the military-aud the
Mayor is hedged i'll and hampered on every
side; but when the people rise up in their
might the police and military will be no.
where" He denounced Parrot, the banker,
who had had himself arrested.to test the,con-
stitutionality of the law, as ian Internal and
inhuman villain, vile wretch, double
dyed ruffian and deep-rooted scoundrel," and
advised him to take warning from the
eight Cinnamon who went to White Pine
against them at law. Seven OF them
were found hanging to the trees the
next morning, and the other the morning
after. If Parrot should happen to be found
tomorrow morning hanged on a lamp post,
1T might save the city from bloody revolu-
ton. Ii the Courts were to decide the anti
Chinese law unconstitutional, it would only
irritate the sore and hurry up bloody revo-
luton. The word would be, Lay on, Mac
duff, and cursed be he who first shall cry
enough" A prominent man had said that
II there should be riot in the city, he
lkearney) would be the first man to be
hanged. He was not at all anxious to live, and
would really consider it the greatest favor
they could confer upon him to hang him.
After some remarks upon the failure of his
efforts to influence legislation at Sacramento,
kearney called for the promised collection for
erecting gallows on the sand lot, and named
Jones, Walsh, Drehan and Murphy as col
leetors. The collection was taken up and
kearney promised that the sand-lot gallows
Tree should be erected during the week. In
view of the above, there is some talk among
business men of reviving the Committee of
Safety. There is much indignation expressed
among that class at the proposed erection of
gallows in front of the City Hall.

the Democrats

The fact is that the North and West are
pitted against Mexicanized South in this
contest, and it would be folly to blink the
truth. Fraud will be employed throughout
the Southern States, and the best guaran-
tee for its employment consists in the fact
that the Southern Democrats do not regard
such methods as in any way discreditable.
They look upon the acknowledgements OF
the Republicans as the ancient Hebrews
looked upon spelling the Egyptians And
though during the off time in politics
Southerners may be found to express pref
erences tor certain Republicans, when the
National Democratic Convention has made
its choice all these symptoms of independ-
ence or insubordination will vanish, and
the solidity of the South will be made
apparent to the meanest capacity.
There is no Judgment in the current
talk about the possibility of securing
Southern Electoral votes for Republican
candidate. If the party puts faith in any
such dreams, or if it is induced to accept a
candidate not sure of a solid North, be-
cause of his imagined strength at the South,
it will make disastrous and perhaps a
fatal mistake. In all estimates and plans
the South will have to be left out of the
account. What Republicans need now is
candidate who can be relied on to carry
the close Northern States. There is the
real PORT of danger and difficulty, and all
visionary excursions Southwards are only
calculated to produce confusion and misap-
prehension. The entire machinery of the
elections at the South is in the hands of the
Democrats. That one fact tells the whole
story. There will be a solid Southern
electoral vote for the Democratic candi-
date, whoever he may be. Tilden would
be as sure of that vote as Thurman or
Bayard. The Republicans of the South
may be loyal enough to the party, but they
have absolutely no influence in this cam
paign, and therefore it would be extremely
injudicious to allow their preferences to
govern the choice of candidate. A man
who can carry the close Northern States
can be made President by the Republican
party, but a man who is supposed to have
any strength at the South will prove a
broken reed in the hands of his supporters
Whoever chooses to regard this as pre-
diction is welcome to take that view of it.

THE SOUTH IN THE PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTION.

The New York Tribune very seasonably
challenges the too commonly accepted idea
that this or that man may be specially
desirable Republican candidate for the
Presidency, because he can carry such and
such Southern States. The Tribune says
When the prophets come down to partic-
ulars they usually include North Caro-
% lima, Florida and Louisiana in their list,
and generally express hopes of Virginia
and South Carolina. Such predictions
may show praiseworthy hopefulness,
'' but they also show profound ignorance
"of the Southern situation. No matter
"who may be nominated in Chicago,
9 whether Grant, Blaine, Sherman, or any
less prominent candidate, he will have
"no chance Of getting single electoral
vote from the South that is worth tax,
ing into account for moment in plan
ming the campaign or estimating the
probable result" We do not think
there can be any doubt of the cor
rectness Of this assertion. The assumption
that any Republican candidate can carry
a single Southern State obviously involves
the Wild supposition that in the coming
campaign the Southern political methods
will somehow be revolutionized, and that
the faction which now holds those States
in an iron grip will give up its advantages
J for the sake of helping its adversaries.
The truth is that no reliance whatever can
be placed upon the South. The Republi-
can party is virtually dead throughout
those States. No doubt there are plenty
of Southern Republicans, and it may be
admitted that in some States they are nu-
merous enough to achieve victory, if they
had fair play. But they will not have fair
play, and it would be mere waste of time
to base any calculations upon the posi-.
bility OF change in this respect. The
Democrats have captured the South. 1t is
"solid." 1t was made solid with special
view to the election this year. This
is the campaign in which the Southern
Democracy hopes for the first time to
be able to WELD its stolen strength sue,
cessfully against the North and West.
To imagine that it would forego one joi
or little of its present power, therefore,
is to conceive manifest absurdity. Nc
Republican living can count upon any
help from the South, and that fact ought
to be realized by the party throughout
the country. 1t is perfectly useless to
talk about what might happen if the
Southern Republicans were free to vote
and to have their votes honestly recorded.
No man who has observed Southern poll.
tics ever so carelessly can seriously be.
lieve that there is the least prospect of a
fair election there, or that everything
will not be wrested to the advantage OF
the Democrats
