Ventura Floods.

The food in Ventura county was
more severe than it was in Los Angeles.
The Ventura river changed its bed and
swept everything in its course. The
Santa Clara river was also even more
wild than the Los Angeles river. OF
the ravages OF the Ventura river the
Democrat says;
A great deal OF land has been washed
away or covered with sediment TO q
a depth that will render it valueless
The carcasses of horses, cattle, sheep,
hogs, chickens, ct cetera, were seen
floating with the current in the different
waters, also lumber, household furniture,
sand goods, fencing, wood, bridge tim
bers, doors, windows, ct cctera. Great
apprehensions were felt for the safety OF
Captain Robert Lyon and family and
others in the Matilija. They are all
safe, however, parties having gone from
here Tuesday to ascertain, so reported.
All the buildings, save one cottage and
the hotel at Hot Spring, were washed
away.
G. B. Taylor's loss is estimated to be
from $1,000 to $4,000, the river cutting
through his bottom land, washing away
about seventy-five acres of his best land

Chicago, in his place. II IL understood
that serious charges rejecting on Nc
Kusick were filed at the department
some time ago and that the matter has
been quietly investigated, resulting in
Mckusisk's dismissal. Among the
charges are neglect Of duty and discrim-
nation among employees. Superintend-
ent Thompson returned to-day from
Chicago, where he went to arrange for
Wilder's promotion. II Is probable that
no stir will be raised about the matter,

TIE telegraph, just now, is very busy
with the names OF possible Presidential
candidates ia both the Democratic and
Republican parties. Amongst the rest
the honored name of Samuel j. Tilden
has again been brought prominently
forward. One of the telegraphic Quid
nuncs has assured us that the Sage of
Gramercy Park will shortly publish a
letter in which he will say that he will
consent to become candidate il his
candidacy shall be found to be necessary
to save the Democratic party. This
phraseology alone stamps the telegram
as iishy and unreliable. We may be
assured that il Mr.. Tilden's health and
age are not now held by him to be bars to
his again entering the field of active
politics be would signify his change of
mind in far different terms from those
credited to him. He has always been
courtly and deferential in his intercourse
with the party which so highly honored
him in 1876, and he has no earthly
intention, as we believe, Of parting with
his good manners now Mr.. Tilden is
entirely too sagacioug man to be ignor.
ant OF the fact that it is the Republican
and not the Democratic party which is
in articalo mortis in this year OF grace,

on this dispatch on the Pacific Coast is
that its substance is too good to be true.

Two Distinguished Generals
Dead.
PARIS, Feb. 26.-Generals Schramm
and DeWimpfen are dead. The former
entered the army in 1899, when only 10
years of age, and before completing his
Path year, was Brigadier General.
DeWimpffen, during the Franco Prussian
war, received an order, August 28th, ap-
pointing him Commander-in-C Chief in
case Marshal Mcmahon should be disa-
bled. September lst. during the battle
of Sedan, hearing that McMahon was
wounded, he produced hiscommission and
assumed the chief command. He at once
reversed the orders for capitulation al.
ready given, hoping for victory. The
order directing the retreat came from
the Emperor, and not from him. Gen.
Wimpffen thereupon proposed to the
Emperor that they should try and save
themselves by cutting theit way to
Carignan, but the Emperor would not
consent. The General offered his resig-
nation. The Emperor would not accept
it. All that was left for him to do was
to conclude and sign the capitulation OF
the great army under his command.

NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that James

Is noteworthy circumstance that the

statesman Is the favorite there against

pectus, while the Plumed Knight is de.
veloping as greater politician than

two together will draw their own con-
clusions from these somewhat pro-
nounced indicia. The book can wait,
while the Presidential exigency is i'm
mediate and vershadowing, and nobody
knows this better than Blaine. He is

THE low obb to which the Republican
party has fallen Is shown by the fact
that the San Francisco Chronicle lifts up
its bazoo and crows Justify over major
ity for the Republican party in that city
Of nine thousand. This simulated gratu-
lation will be better understood when
we mention the well recognized fact that
unless that party can carry Philadelphia
by twenty thousand majority and Ale
gheny county by at least ten thousand
majority, the Democrats will carry tho
State by satisfactory figure. 1t really
looks as if Pennsylvania must be added
to Ohio in the list of States lost to the
party of great moral ideas in the coming
Presidential election. The Democratic
party is in danger Of having, in the com
