SAD DEGENERATION.

The Sand Lot Democracy of San Fran
cisco has degenerated sadly from its first
beginnings. 1t set out with the determi-
nation to reform politics. 1t was too pure
and good to rest satisfied with parties as
they were, and so it undertook to estab-
lish new organization from which greed
aud venality and all things impure should
be banished. And after all these months
we find it silencing a candidate who de-
clared that he had been corruptly ap-
preached by member of the Convention.
The statement of this person, instead Of
evoking an outburst of horror and indigna-
ton, seems to have been regarded as a
yexatious piece of unreasonable candor,
and he was thrust aside, and his commu-
nication tabled. in very hurried and
impatient manner. 1t might indeed be
alleged by fastidious critics that the DEM
ocrats and Workingmen of San Francisco
seem to be vieing with each other which
shall exhibit the most corruption and
blackguardism. The really serious and
depressing consideration is that these
blackguards are liable to capture the mu-
nicipality, and that their coarseness and
profanity would then appear a congenial
prelude to the thieving certain to follow.
1t is certainly time that the moral and
intelligent elements of San Francisco
united for mutual protection, but unhsp-
PLY these elements appear to be as inca
pable of acting in concert or with sustained
energy as their opposites are capable of
those modes of action.

DULcIGNo.

The naval demonstration has again been
postponed, and the surrender of Dulcigno
has not been effected. In fact it has been
placed out of the power of the Porte to sur
render it by the simple expedient of per-
uniting the Albanians to take possession OF
it. They hold it against both the Monte
negrins and the Turks, and the latter can
with much show Of reason refuse to fight
the Albanians for no better purpose than
the recovery of a place which no longer be-
longs to the Ottoman Empire. If the Mon
tenegrins want Du.cigno it appears that
they will be obliged to take it by
force; but as they arc probably not pre-
pared to do this, the Albanians will
continue to hold it until the Powers
can make up their minds whether the &C.
casion jrstiies or necassitates their armed
intervention. The order to the Consuls
to remove their families seems to forecast
active coercion, but it is evident that there
is no certainty about the action of the
combined fleets, and it is open to doubt
whether the Powers would not rather pre-
fer that the demonstration should be aban.
doned. 1t is at least clear that peaceful
demonstration will be quite useless. The
question is, if any attempt at coercion will
not precipitate that collapse Of the Porte
which every European Government alike
anticipates and breads.

SOUTHERN sECrIoNALISM.

The Northern Democratic press does its
best to counteract the effect of the ram
pant and reckless sectionalism of its
Southern allies, but it must continue to
fail to persuade Northern men that this
Southern sectionalism is not the main cause
of apprehension in the political situation.
1t is plain that if the South had its way,
it would enter upon a &c wiping-out pro-
gramme of the most radical and sweep
ing character This is not a mere
suspicion, but the inevitable in
ference from the general tone of its writers
and speakers. These men never hesitate
to declare their conviction that the con.
stitutional amendments were illegally rati.
fed, that the negro ought to be deprived of
the franchise, that the authority of the
Federal Government over the State ought
to be abolished that the claims of their
section for damages sustained in the
