WE have at last heard from the stra-
bismie statesman Of Massachusetts,, the
debilitated hero Of Fort Fisher aud later
the bottled up hero Of the Dutch Gar
Canal, yelcpt Benjamin Franklin Butler.
He elects to run as an independent can.
diinte for President. Evidently b. u.
Jones, the chairman Of the Republican
National Committee, saw him in good
season, Barnum, the chairman OF the
Democratic National Committee, either
being bslated or thinking that the play
was not worth the candle. In view OF
the splendid momentum of the Cleve'
land torrent Butler, on the fifth OF No
vember next, will be able to exolaim,
with innumerable predecessors, "How

PROBABLY no more brilliant horoscope
was ever cast than that which is plainly
outlined on the political empyrean for
the Democratic party to-day. As the
matter groups itself to an intelligent
mind it really looks as ii Cleveland and
Hendricks, in addition to receiving the
1853 electoral votes of the solid South,
will also receive tliose of Ohio, Indiana,
New Jersey, New York, Connecticut,
New Hampshire and quite possibly, as
we'll, those of Wisconsin. In fact, there
Is nothing extravag,nt in assuming that
Pennsylvania itself is an uncertain State
especially when the Cameron animosity
to Blaine is taken into the count. While
Pennsylvania, hitherto, has been relia
bly, Republ can, it has alwa.s been so
by such slight majority that the city
OF Philadelphia, where the Camerons
have been always exceptionally strong,
has determined tue result. Outside of
Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, the
State of Pennsylvania has been
Democratic for twenty years by
fully twenty thousand majority. We
have no desire to unduly depress our
Republican friends at this early stage of
the Presidential controversy, but it
really looks to us as If events were shap-
ing themselves for remarkably easy
delivery on the part of the Democratic
party. From all present indications the
pains of partulition which will introduce
Democratic administration of our ma
tional affairs will only respond to the
lightest visitatious of those pleasing
pains which ladies bear who love their
lords. The present electoral throes,
continuing the simile, will be relieved
from the ordinary travails. 1t really looks
as if the Democratic party viii come into
power from the matured thought OF the
country something after the manner
in which Minerva sprahg full fledged
from the brain OF Jovc.

ed on the subject of Yellow Fever for
the reason that We do not believe that,
In an ordinary season. the prevalence OF

In this idea because no epidemic or en-.

Notwithstanding our unrivaled climate,

Notwithstanding tho exodus of all the

Depopulated as the town is, people
are dying in Hermosillo at the

would be the equivalent. in ratio. OF

TO the death registry Of week ago. We
understand that the sanitary pr,csu-

perfect, and that the State of California

the Needles, which oush to assure US

CLANS forget their duty altogether. The
gravity of the crisis at Hermosiilo can.
not be exaggerated, but Sonora is one
thing aud California another. The very
nature of the scourGo is such that no
person who starts from Sonoro with the
germs of the disease in his system could
possibly live till he reached California.
Watch and pray is one condition pre-.

The New Orleans POstOf nice -
Report of the Commission ia
luyestiHate 1t.

WASHINGTON, Aug. The special
commission which has been investigating
the condition aud management of the
New Orleans postotlice, submitted re-
port to the Pos.master-G General to-day.
The commissioners say in their report
that they found the facilities of the
office ample. but the force employed in
sufficient, through lack OF. proper train
ing, organization or discipline. They
add that they found everything ar
ranged apparently for the personal con-
veuience OF the clerks rather than for
the necessities OF the business. They
say the postmaster possesses but lin.
tied knowledge of the actual work OF
the office, and makes little or no effort
to inform himself of the necessities of
his services. They expressed the opin.
ion that on account of the wants of
energy on the part of the chief,
this division is i'll part owing
to the failure of his interiors to
support him. They say also, that the
office OF Collection Clerk, with salary
Of 5000 has been held for some time
past, by George w. Merchant, a son of
the Postmaster, who has rendered very
little service. They recommend that
the salary of the office be reduced from
fifteen to twelve hundred dollars per
annum. They recommend an increase
in the salaries of certain clerks, aggre-
eating eleven hundred dollars per an
mum, and reductions aggregating S2,45O.
They also report having made inquiries
relative TO depredations on mails at this
office and the failure Of the Postmaster
to report them and say, with respect to
this branch, that in their investigation
it was found that just before their visit
fifteen letters addressed to NJ. A. Dauph.
in had been abstracted from the mails in
the office and that circumstances pointed
almost conclusively to the son of the
postmaster as the person who took them;
that when the facts were reported to the
postmaster he obtained possession OF and
burned certain fragments of the missing
letters, thereby destroying important
evidence AZ ainst the guilty person, but
he afterward promised to exclude his
son permanently from the office.
