SAN Francisco, Feb. 21.-At a special
meeting of the board of health to-day the re-
port CT the committee appointed to investi-
gate the condition of the Chinese quarter
was read. The report details the state of
affairs found to exist there, and in liz dis
closures of crowding, filth, disease, crime, land
utter disregard of all considerations for the
preservation Of life, health and property is
even moro startling than expected. The re-
port closed with recommendation that
Chinatown be condemned as a nuisance, and
calls upon the proper authorities to take the
necessary steps for its abatement without
delay. The report was unanimously adopt
ed, and it is expected immediate action will
be taken to carry out the views of the board.
Workingmen are greatly gratified at the &C
ton taken, which, it is believed, will meet
with little opposition except from directly
interested parties.

RUSSIAN NIHlLTSM,

Uneasy lies the head that wears crown"
Probably no man in the world to-day appre-
ciates the truth of this sentence more than the
Gar Alexander of Russia. For years past
he has been menacsd with assassination, and
has been in constant fear lest, at some unex-
pected moment, the fatal bullet would reach
his vitals and send him into eternity without
moments warning. About a year back
these threats against his life have increased
in numbers, and within the past three months
he has received them almost daily. No less
than six direct attempts have been made in
six months to end his earthly career, several
of which have not gone far wide of the mark.

The Chicago Tribune continues to assert
both through its correspondents and edito
rally, that the decision that the Minnesota
law for numbering ballots was unconstitu
tional was made by the lower court ant
never ratified by the supreme court.
This is mistake. The supreme court has
unanimously reafirmed the decision Of thu
lower court. The decision of the lower cour
declaring the law unconstitutional was made
prior to the election of 1873. That decision
was binding until it could be reversed by Il,
higher court. The judges of election who
refused to recognize the decision of the lower
court did SO at their own peril. The decis
ion having been reaf1irmed, it renders every
numbered ballot absolutely illegal.

Dorm With the Bomrbons.
fWabashaw Bulletin.

- The GLOBE has lately been handling some
of those fne-haired Democrats like Haven,
of the Faribault Democrat, and Lochren, of
Minneapolis, without gloves. 1t is fact, as
the GLOBE asserts, that those high toned in
dividuals cannot tolerate candidate unless
he be of the Bourbon stripe. Such broad
and liberal views as these fellows send forth
will undoubtedly tend to change the political
complexion of the State and bring it cut
with O rafting Democratic majority. They
prefer briber Wsshburn to Donnelly al
though they are well aware that the Third
district WIS carried through the corrupt
channels of bribery and bulldozing.
The fastidious and over scrupulouS Dem
ocrats can swallow the insolent jeersand as
sertions of the blatent demagogue who is
playing the role of NJ. c., against the "rebel
brigadiers;'' but they are altogether too nice
to accept candidate on the Democratic
ticket unless he is branded democrat" as
he is ushered into existence.
As a class they are far more nice than wise,
and by loading the party with such narrow
minded views will always keep it good dis
lance 10 the rear.

THE ILLINOIS ArION,

There is good deal Of discussion going
on in the Chicago papers as to whether OF
not Grant will capture the Illinois delega-
ton in the June convention. Several CT the
journals lidicule the idea, while Others are
positive that the wires have been so laid as
to ensure solid support from that State for
third term. The truth seems to be that
there is good ground for supposing that the
x-President is in fair way of taking pos
session of the forty-two delegates, and WELD
ing them at his win.
Political affairs inside the Republican party
are in queer middle. Logan is an ardent
friend of Grant, and for the past year has
been working tooth and nail to secure the
delegation from that State in his favor. Post
master Palmer of Chicago also feels in kind
ly mood towards Grant, as to him he owes
his present lucrative Office. Dan. Shepard,
the secretary of the State committee, is of o
like way of thinking. Dick Oglesby, since
his defeat for the Senate by Logan, has
abandoned all hope of returning to that
body, but wants to go to Congress, and
knows he cannot do SO without Logan's
help. He has been whipped into the traces,
and is now hand in glove with Black Jack.
Gov. Cullom wants to succeed David Davis
in the Senate, and as Logan has enunciated
the gospel of 'you tickle me and I'll tickle
you" he has fallen into line. This quintette
of political managers, who practically control
the machine in Illinois, are therefore agreed
that Grant should be the coming man, and
as in the past they have succeeded we'll in
manipulating caucuses and conventions, We
see no reason to suppose that they will fail
in their present purpose. They
have not forgotten their cum
ming, as will no doubt bs proven by the re-
suits of the convention, which is to be held
shortly.
Though Bob Ingersoll declares that Hi
nois is as little owned by any one individual
as any State in the Union, he cannot deny
that it is completely under the domination OF
the machine run by the quintette We have
named, aided by few blowers and strikers
directly in their employ. They can manage
affairs just to suit them, and as each has an
office in his minds eye they will leave no
stone uaturned to accomplish their purpose.
we regard the delegation frsm Illinois as
being certain for Grant, with Washburne as
a second choiee in case he shall nsent to
allow his name to be used.

4 TRAMP CONTENTION,

The Appearance of One Of Them as He
Journeys Away from Boston.
A queer looking man, whose appearance
indicated that he had long since run the
seed, opened the door of the GLOBE ed.to-
rial sanctum yesterday afternoon, and reer-
ed around the den as if he expected to meet
some one who had failed to keep an appoint
ment. His expression was that of fright
and disappointment, and as he was about to
retire his attention was arrested by an inyi-
tation to como in. His hair and whiskers
were long and unkempt, but beneath the
rim of diladitated felt hat, which looked
like an inverted wash basin, pair of small,
deep set eyes shone that glistened intelli-
gently like brush lights in
an otherwise dismal cavern.
He wore government blouse buttoned to
the chin, pair of jean trowsers, the ends of
which were tucked in the heel portion of
his shoes, which looked as if they had under
gone many an arduous campaign of tramp
ing, and under his right arm he carried an
old fashioned muslin carpet sack, both han
dies of which had been gnawed off by the
friction of service, and the appearance of the
grip was that of once robust shape grown
flabby from the effects of long constipation.
The man asked for the responsible editor,
and that gentleman not being in be was in
troduced to the assistant in temporary charge
of the locker. Tramps is tramps, he COM
menced, addressing himself to the party in
charge, and as have just come from Boston

cradle party opened hts eripsack, taking
therefrom bulky mass of manuscript.
"You see,'' he continued, 81 was secretary of
the association, and while the convention
was not 'xactly what expected, we had a
very spectacle turnout" Thereupon he
asked leave to be allowed to read the pro-
ceedings of the convention. He was told to
fire away, but owing to the brevity of ordi
nary existences, the amusing recital was
choked off bsfore it had been half read.
The convention met in secret conclave, and
their proceedings were carefully kept from
the gaze of the outside world. Among other
things, a resolution was passed denouncing
the present form of government, calling upon
Congress for revision of the patent laws,
which were characterized as affording no
protection to inventors, bat we're merely in
tended to benefit the genteel robber and
moneyed garroter at the expense of strug-
Cling genius, and memorial was addressed
to the same body asking for new code and
abrogation of the tramp laws.
When asked if he followed tramping as a
profession he repealed the implied imputa-
ton with the utmost indignation, and the sur
prise of the writer may be imagined when
he was informed that the visitor derived a
munifcent income from contributions to
several of the magazines by translating operas
and French plays and composing popular

Chicago reporter. When asked his opinion
as to the person who was especially favored
for President in his own State, he refused
to express it, explaining that he had moi
been in the State for several months. We
don't know how to account for this singular
display of modesty, remembering as we dc
that Mr.. Rublee, after four years residence
in Switzerland, gave to al interviewer full
exposition of how politics were shaping
themselves. And this, too, before he had
set foot on American soil. 1t is just possible
that with old age. Mr.. Rublee is gaining

clue has been discovered that can lead to the
detection of those who thus mapace the ex-
istence of the car and render his life one of
constant apprehension.
1t is very apparent to outsiders that there
are traitors in the imperial household. Upon
no other theory can the mysterious and reg
ular appearance of the threatening epistles
be accounted for. The guards have been
frequently changed, great care being taken
to select only those whose fealty
to the royal person was above
question. Yet the placards continue to be
posted and the letters to be placed where
they cannot escape the cognizance of the
czar. The police have been baff1ed at every
point. Though arrests of suspected parties
are frequent, and transportation to the ST.
berian plains are numerous, there seems to be
no cessation. The car is completely
environed with conspirators who arc bent
upon having his life. The innermost secrets
of the court are apparently an open book to
them. If he essays, no matter how careful
ly and privately, to make a brief journey,
the whole empire knows his intentions al
most as soon as decided upon, and he is
compelled to run the gauntlet of me ex-
piosiors, pistol bullets und poisoned
chalIces.
Ire nihilists of Russia are organized more
perfectly than any other similar body of

they will no doubt be ultimately successful.
The day that heralds the death of Alexander
