BY the Democrats last night Is on

This rem ark applies with special
ferce to the nominees for the Board
OF Education. We expect to see
quite large number of the gentle
men nominated for the Council

which will help many OF them.
The facts should not be forgotten.
however, that Los Angeles is now
pretty closely balanced city po-
litically, and that hard and thor
ough work is an essential to sue
cess. We can say with truth of
eur candidates that, II they were
elected to q man, no citizen would
fear for the interests of the city in
their hands. The coming munich
pal election will be interesting as
showing just how the city of Los
Angeles stands, now that Senator
MIller's prodigal outlays Of money
will not enter into the contest.
The question of sumptuary laws

GEN. BENJAMIN F. BUTLER has
lately appeared as the defender of
Cakes Ames and the Credit Mobi.
lier crowd. AS to Ames himself,
who was the manager of the Credit
Mobilier iniquity, his thorough
msnliness and downright con-
tempt for those who had accepted
his brides and then tried to lie
themselves out of it, has always
been a great mitigation of his Of
fence. Buffers position is that If
the Credit Mobilierists had not al
lowed themselves to be frightened
and stampeded they would have
been all right. According to his
theory, all that was needed was a
little hardihood, and if Schuyler
Colfax had possessed ch eek of
brass, and had not added perjury
to the receiving of a bride. he
would still have been high up in
the councils of the Republican
party. AS the General put in some
sixteen or eighteen years as q
member of that party, he probably
knows what 1t would have toll
Grated better than we DO. But
there is no doubt that the people
of the United States had at tina
time a spasm Of public virtue, and
the Republican party would have
suffered heavy diminution of its
voters II its leaders had sought to
shield these malefactors. In fact,
as it Yves, that party WAS shaken
from center to circumference, and
barely survived the ordeal. Gen,
Butler can be quoted against him.
self. Against his utterance of the
other day can be put the remark
which he made, with chuckle,
while the Credit Mobilier storm
was impending, viz, "this is go.
ing to be bad year for the Saints"
If Butler had pitched his eulogium
of Ames in the modest key that be
was the best Of bad lot the
American people would have felt
like saying amen.
