We notice in the most Influential

minaiion TO ignore the tariff issue A.

fication Of spirit Of boyish mischief,
the tariff issne as handled in the present
House of Representatives viii have NJ
result. 1t Is very doubtful whether the
Morrison bill will pass the House, while
1t is certain 10 be killed in the Senate.
The discussion which has been evolved
out Of Col. Morrison s efforts to scale the
tariff to an all.round reduction will un.
doubtedly lead the Democratic National
Convention 10 adopt in its platform tho
substance OF the Ohio Democratic plat.
form, on which Hoadly was triumphant
ly elected, and which favored tariff for
revenue with incidental protection, the
duties being so adjusted MS TO discourage
monopolies but protect the interests Of
the American laborer and producer. 1t
is greatly to be regretted that so much
time has been lost over ffditless dis
cus1ion, and il is to bo hoped, in the in
terast of the Democratic party and OF
thc people that tho practical business of
the session will ba attended to at once
and that an early adjournment will be
chronicled. The remainder Of the ses
sion should be employed at Washington
in oulLivaiing spirit Of harmony
amongst the Democratic members and
in bringing about sweeping retrench-
monts in the national expenditures. This
lattcr Is what the people expect.

THE frequency with which the name
of young Mr.. Lincoln occurs in the dis
patches in connection with the Presi-
dency is becoming WEAKNESS to the
flesh. 1t has become the vogue to trot
him out in season and out, and the
fashion having become chronic, we sup
pose it will last until the meeting Of the
Republican National Convention. 1t is
not pretended that Bob is anything
but the most mediocre of politicians, He
is being run on the strength OF his ia.
theirs reputation. Wendell Phillips
once said that all that was valuable in
the Adams family was six feet under the
ground. We are afraid that the same
thing may be remarked truly of the Lin
coin family. Bob Lincoln has never
given any evidence of possessing tithe
Of the ability of Charles Francis Adams,
or of that gentleman's son, John Quincy.
Though Charles Francis was the great
orators pet aversion he was an able and
honest man, of great force and dignity OF
character, and the son bids fair to rival
il not surpass his father. As to Lincoln,
however, there seems to be general
agreement of opinion that he is vapid
dude, with absolutely nothing to recon-
mend him as the Presidential candidate
of great party. Even to name him il
connection with the Vice Presidency is a
great on utrage upon IN office which has
been ornamented by so many illustriouS
men.

Tue New York Heroid affects to be
very indignant with Mr.. Randall be-
cause that gentleman objects to appro.
priating largo sums of the money Of the
people for the purpose of aiming the new
steam cruisers. The mass Of the voters,
however, will take different view of
the matter. They remember that mil
lions have been squandered upon John
Roach's vessels; and that, when com.
pletod, they won't float 1t is next in
order to break them up and sell them to
the junk dealers for old iron. The

IT will be some time yet before the

in thoroughly re.establshing its track
between Los Angeles and San Fran

there is much work to be done, and
until the road has been repaired il is
useless to look for regularity in the mr.

knowing that these things do not hap.

Getting Even on ReciprOcity-A

GALVESTON, Tex, April S.--A N,,cs
Matamoras, Mexico, special says: The
stamp tax imposed by the Mexican
government on liquors, chinaware,
iewelry, hardware, boots and shoes,
medicines, hats and caps, preserves
and several oother things is from
one.half to fifteen per cent. on the value.
It is thought in Mstamoras to be a blow
at the new reciprocity treaty, as the ar
ticles taxed are among the principal
ones conceded by the Mexican govern
ment. 1t also requires that, on the 18th
instant, every one shall deposit at custom
houses all the nickel money on hand,
receiving therefor certificates in return.
Duties TO the amount of fifteen per cent.
may be paid in these certificates. II is
imperative that fifteen per cent. of the
money rendered in payment of duties
shall consist of nickels There will be
none of that coin in circulation after the
10Th and the government can then
charge premium. Many fear the poll
cy of the government, ii persisted in,
will cause serious trouble, perhaps revo-
lutions.

Mn. DANA, of the New York San,
said, in recent interview, that if the
Democratic party hopes to win in the
coming Presidential election il must
nominate a New Yorker. He looks
upon the Empire as the pivotal State,
and as goes New York so will go the
Union. There is pretty general ac-
ceptance of this proposition in both of
the great political parties. Tammany
Hall has made demand which is almost
threat that the Democrats should nom
mate New orker. Mr.. Dana also ex.
pressed the belief, in the same interview,
THAT the nomination will be rendered to
Mr.. Tilden, although he is by no means
equally sure that it viii be accepted.
We quote from a synopsis Of this inter
view. In reply to a question as to the
Sage OF Gramercy's health Mr. Dana
replied;
''He is very well for him, believe,
though | have net seen him for some
time. There is no doubt that his nou-
nation would please thousands of Demo
Gratis.
''Do you oppose it, aud if so, Why
mo, do not oppose it, / have
never opposed it. | have said that he
would not take it, but it is surprising
how the people in all parts of the coun
try are insisting upon the old ticket
This feeling has been much strengthened
by the rumpus about the tariff. Every
body feels that if Mr.. Tilden could be
nominated the tariff business would be
pushed by such nomination into the
obscurity proper to theoretical ahs,rac-
tions. As the case now stands, nothing
seems TO me more probable than that the
Democratic Convention will nominate
Mr.. Tilden, and wait for his reply before
proceeding any further

delegates.
The man who could truthfully print
tive-line announcement that Mr.. Tildel
would accept the Democratic nomina
tion would create a degree Of enthusiasm
amongst Democrats which has not beel
witnessed since the days of Old Hiek
ory.

Ir Is pleasant to know that, under
the new. County Gov ernment bill, it will
be feasible for the Board of Supervisors
to make an attempt to give this county
an intelligent and satisfactory road
system. Under tho old law this was
impossible, the roads being made piece
meal, with the result of an occasional
mile or 30 Of good to stretches Of three
or four miles of bad road. That all our
thoroughfarcs, both in the city and
county, are in disgraceful condition no
one viii doubt who Is obliged to drive
over them. We have repeatedly labor
cd TO impress upon Tho CITY Council and
the Board Of Supervisors the necessity of
making passable streets and roads. 1t
would be hard to calculate the benefits
which would accrue to this city il we
had two or three pleasant drives, like
those which so abound in Sacramento,
Oakland and San Jose, but thus far
those who had the power to give us
roads seem to be utterly indifferent in
the matter. They ought to be reused
from their comatose state.

Proceedings In the nouse.

WAsnISGros, April 7--In the House
bill was passed declaring that the
Supreme Court OF every Territory shall
consist OF Chief Justice and three
Associate Justices, aud providing that
every Territory shall be divided into four
Judicial districts and that District Courts
shall be held in each by one of the
Justices OF the Supreme Court.
The bill requiring that the governor
of any territory shall be q resident OF
the territory TO which he is appointed /
least two years preceding his appoint
ment. was opposed by Kasson on the
ground that 1t changed the plans by
which the United States held control OF
the territories. Maeinns strongly
advocated the passage Of the bill. There
was, he ia:d, a growing indispesition TO
admit new States on account of the
jealously of the old States aud thi,
measure was only intended to mitigate
one OF the most Infamous systems
OF Colonial Government the world
had ever seen. Easton raised
the constitutional objection that the
bill would limit the right Of Prosidcn-
tial appointments. Brents, Of Wash.
ington Territory, pointed out the in-
consistency Of allowing Rhode Island
to elect its Governor and Of denying
to Territories, some of them with five
times the population, the privilege to
have their executives appointed from
among its own citizens. Tillman, OF
South Carolina, mado constitutional
argument in sup ort of the bill and
sarcastically expressed his opinion
that the Republican 'ide (aluding to
Hiscock aud others) had at length
come to recognize the fact that that
obsolete instrument, the Constitution,
still somewhat restricted the powers of
Congress, but admitted that his Joy
was shadowed when he discovered
that the constitutional point was raised
on the arong bill. Advocating the
measure on its merits, he regretted
that he did not have time TO pay his
respects to the carpet baggers. This
term brought out considerable discus
