Fort Point, near San Francisco, the
other day by an artillery salute. The
noise fastened the entry into this

can, who straightway was named
Edmund Collins. Under the circum-
stances Mr.. Edmunds blessed the
babe and gave him silver cup.

LII memory OF EX-GOVernOr DAVIS.
In the United States court yester-
day, Hon. E. j, Turner
presiding, appropriate resolu-
lions were offered on the
part of the bar of this city, in respect
to the memory of Ex-Governor Davis.
The resolutions are the same as were
adopted February 10th in the district
court, and were accompanied with
the following remarks by B. Trigg,
esq, who was assigned the duty of
presenting them to the court.
No comment OF mine, your honor,
however extended, could add 1.-THE
of merit to the signal tribute OF res
pect and esteem which the resolu-
tions impart. They laurel the brow
Of the dead; they embalm his repuse
and sweeten his memory by invoking
the recollection of those splendid at
tributes Of character that distin-
gulshed him among men while living.
They declare and reiterate that he
was an honest man. IAN honest
man is the nobleSt work of God. ;"
His majestic form moves no more
in our midst, to strengthen us by his
sympathy, and aid us by his counsel,
LIZ he1o SOllO GliO way VI oil Gllc 6dTGu,
and with apparent and painful sudden
ness, as though a star had become de-
tached from its constellation, to fall
and disappear on the waste of space,
leaving its realm of light to the dom
inion of darkness and vacancy. But
that moral statue of his, so DEITY
mirrored in the memorial ef his pro-
fessional brethren, like his own i'm
mortal spirit, refuses the pavilion of
death and survives in our presence, a
lasting model, animate with life and
radiant with imperishable beauty.
Mr.. Trigg's remarks closed with an
appropriate acrostic, expressing furth-
er sentiments in verse.
Judge Turner took occasion to bear
his testimony as to the character of
the deceased, whose honesty of con-
science, he said, could not be quest
Toned, no matter how men might diff
fer with him as a partiZan
The memorial was ordered to be
spread upon the minutes and the court
adjourned.

on affairs, and now there is danger that
the '.favorite son" business will be
worked for all that it is worth. Now,
it may as well be openly confessed that
the chance of Republican success next
year may be easily frittered away by a
mistake on the part of the Convention,
and the greatest mistake it can possibly
make is to assume that the party can
easily elect any man whom it chooses
TO name. 1t can not do anything of the
sort. Success will only crown our eff
forts after we shall have placed the par
ty in harmony with the wishes of the
people, on whom it must depend for
support. The man who will make the
best candidate is the man whose ability,
experience and familiarity with public
affairs in the past inspires confidence
for the future. No other need apply.
Sectionalism, favoritism, factionalsm
and sentimentalism must all be ignored,
and ayman must be selected who is a
"leader of men," and whose past rec
ord in public and private needs no de-
fense. 1t is the aggressive kind of
fighting that wins, and that is the kind
of fight we must be prepared TO make

The Presidential Prospect.

With the light thrown ON the situa-
ton by the result of the recent elections
it becomes interesting and feasible to
decide pretty definitely what necessary
work there is cut out for the Republicans
to perform to win the next Presidency.
Whichever party carries New York is
very sure to elect its candidate. There
is no reasonable prospect of the Repub-
icans being able to sustain the loss of
its SO electoral votes. They might
stand the loss of Ohio with its % votes,
but they would have to win Indiana to
do it, or have several doubts elsewhere
in the North decided in their favor.
This, of course, supposing that nothing
is gained from the Solid South, of which
the prospect is not good enough to fur
nish any encouragement. 1t will re-
quire POI votes to elect. The following
table gives to the Democrats every vote
the Republicans can spare them, and,
of course, as will be seen by examining
it, quite number more than they are
likely to get:
