Dayitt's Return to Europe.

Michael Dayitt went to the Grand Cen
tral Hotel from the Everett House yester-
(Iav. and took up his quarters under the
name of Davis. He said last night that he
was obliged 10 taSe this step to secure the
needed rest, to gvade the Overwhelming
attentions of his fJtiends, and to prepare fo1
his departure at 5 d. M. to-day in the steam
shin Pennland for&Antwerp.- He said that
even the manner of his departure had been
kept quiet. because some of his friends IN
sisted on having Steamboat to accompany
him down the bay,and he did not wish to
permit them to incur such a needless eSS
Dense. He had no personal vanity to glat-
ify in the matter, and preferred that all
fine money should be saved for the cause OF
ireland.
As to the results Of his tourin this coun-
try, he said that his SInost sanguille eNpee-
tationg had been realized. The pecnniafy
returns had been ftl above his expecta-
tons; but, more th;aa that, he valued the
progress made in 4the unifeatton Of the
Land League and the settlement OF yexed
questions. He believed that the cordial
cooperation of ali the leaders was assured,
and that the prospects of freedom for Ire
land are brighterthan ever.

IT will be seen by reference to
our Washington dispatches that
the bill introduced by Senator Jas.
T. Farley, making Wilmington a
Port of Entry, and which passed
the Senate last week, was yester.
day taken up and passed by the
House, on motion of Representa-
tive Berry, Democratic member
of Congress from the Third Dis
trlct of this State. The inquiry Ia
suggested, whatact or part had the
Hon. Romusldo Pacheco, Repre-.
sentative in Congress from this
district, In the passage Of this
measure, go important TO the inter.
ests of the people of Los Angeles
city and county? And echo an.
swers, "None." The measure was
conceived by Democratic Senator
and passed through that house by
his exertions, and when it reached
the lower house it was taken up and
passed on the motion of the Demo.
cratic Representative from the
Third district. The people of this
county should certainly bear these
facts in mind when called upon &c
select their next Representative In
Congress.

Defeated, utterly routed, horse,
foot and dragons, so far as the
making of political capital out OF
opposition to the Chinese is con-
cerned, some shining lights of the
Republican press are now falling
back upon their old position, and
endeavor to rouse their dropping
spirits by vociferously shouting
their stale old battle.cry of the al
legged negrophobia of the Demo.
cratic party. They reiterate the
silly old phrase that "s solid negro
hating South tends to bring about
q solid justice.loving North"
Now justice never wasr and never
can be. confined by geographical
bounds; so that portion of the
phrase is simply and utterly non-
sense. AS regards the negotiating
South the doctrine Ia merely a
falsehood. The American negro is
not an idiot, as had been supposed
erroneously by the Northern Scar
pet baggers" who knew him not,
and who, at the close of the re-
bellion, swarmed into the South.
1t did not take many years for him
to find out that Republican philan-
thropy was the merest clap-trap in
the world, and that his best friend
was his former master. In cOnse-
quence the South, white and black,
united in a supreme effort to throw
of the "carpet baggism" which
was fast making their poverty
greater than it had been, and then
went to work manfully and sys.
tematically, hand in hand and in
perfect harmony, to bring about
the well-tounded and rapidly in.
creasing prosperity of to-day.
The only issue that the Repub-
lican party ever had died stimuli.

"smells to heaven" Since then the
capital of that party has consisted
of the cohesive power of the pub

the arbitrary acts Of federal office
holders. But, notwithstanding
these great advantages possessed
by the Republican party, and un'
blushingly made use of by it, the
day of reckoning is approaching
rapidly. And the maudlin child.

thing to drivel ABOUT than "a me-

The continued absence of Cap
tain Howgate, of the Signal Serv-
ice, from the comfortable quarters
furnished to aim by the authOri-
ties in the Jail at Washington, is
now accounted for. 1t is said that
his friend, Secretary Chandler has
sent him on an expedition to the
North Pole ON the "H0wgate
plan.u The two hundred thous'
and dollars belonging to the gov
eminent, which he "overdrew" are
to be used in fitting out the expe-
dition.

The prohibitory order of the
Treasury Department with regard
to the importation of opium by
Chinese is certainly praiseworthy,
and would be greatly to the credit
of the administration but for the
fact that, whereas more than a
year has elapsed since the ratifica-
ton OF the treaty Of commerce, OF
which one stipulation is the absc-
lutte prohibition Of the importation
of the drug into either country by
citizens, or subjects, of the other,
it is only last week, since the sud-
den Republican awakening to the
error of the party's ways, that 1t
has been thought proper ct Wash
ington to decree the enforcement
of the same.
Thus, day by day, new strands
appear in the web of damning
proof with which the Republican
party has enwrapped itself. The
leaders of that party have woven
the shroud that soon shall enfold
the corpse, of which the interment
has been bespoken by undertaken

Mr.. JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL,

he can not be deemed an unquali'

The New York Tribune is OF
opinion that the Democratic party
hopes to become strong through
hatred of the Chinese. The man
ner of arriving at this ingenious
conclusion is probably as follows:
The Republican party has becom 9
weak through love for the Chinese;
the Democratic party ia opposed to
the Republican party; therefore
the d 'mocratic party hopes TO be-
come strong through hatred of the
Chinese.

A MALE in Sacramento was ar
rested the other day for beating b is
wife in a shocking manner. In
London, few years ago, wife beat
ing, to which the lower class OF
Englishman is addicted, became SO
prevalent that extraordinary
means were resorted to for the cor

were sentenced to be logged, and
the practice was attended with
good results. This punishment

Mosaic Portrait OF Garaeld.

DIR. Salviati, who gave to this country
the fine mosaic portrait Of Lincoln now
in the Library of Congress, and who is
now completing a companion portrait
of Garfield, which he will also give to
America, was formerly leading lawyer
of Vieenza, in Venetia. Seeing the
magnificent mosaics in st. Mark
church, Venice, going to destruction
because no one understood how to re-
store and preserve them, he abandoned
his profession and began studying the
lost art ofthe Byzantines. By his skill the
mosaics of st. Marks were restored, and
he has executed many other important
works in Westminster Abbey and st.
Paul's, London; in the Cathedral of
