The Republican National Conveatior
nom,nsted Mr.. Blaine for President yes.
terday on the fourth ballot. Refusing 4
adopt any less conspicuous aud less OBJ
iec'ionable person, turning cut OF doors
ell the dark horses and the petty schem
era, the Convention gave itself and com.
mrt,d the waning fortunes OF It's parts
to the only conspicuous leader now re-
naming who fgu.ed 10 the history OF il.
earlier, its better. and, alas, also Of iis
later anil worser days.
A great many. Republicans are opposed
to Mr. Blaine. Some Of them would re.
ect h,m on account OF the stains upon
his public career, as exemplilsd 10 the
transactions of the Mplligsn letters; bni
there are others. and their objection Is
Of greater per.iuencY and effect 10 the
present condition OF our affairs, who re.
pudiats him on account of his crazy no.
tions and Qlixotic policy when he was
Secretary OF State.
But those who imagine that, because
OF such disaGection, the country is now
to witness spiritless canvass, and an
easy triumph for the Opposition, are, 10
our Judgment, very much in error. Mr..
Blaine is fertile aud sensational poll
tician, and be will force the lighting from
the start. Moreover, party 10 power
is always hard to beat; and the Repub-
lican party can ontdo 10 this respect all
others that ever existed outside OF Mex
leo. As Mr. Tilden said years ago. the
Opposition cannot elect it's President
with less than majority Of two-thlris !;
aud this wise observation is,as true nos
as when 1t wss frst uttered. 1t will not
be enough to defeat Mr. Blaine At tue
polls; it will not be enough to have
against him an immense msjority OF the
electoral colleges. Fraud and force will
be brought into play by the Republican
officsholders in 1884 Just as freely as
they we're in 1876 Mr.. Blaine is man

THE FOLSOM PRISON INVESTIGATION.

1t was foregone that the State Prison
Directors would exonerate Warden Nc.
Comb. Under the testimony they could
not do otherwise. 1t was not only shown
that he was not guilty of any of the charges
laid against him, but that he was worthy
of commentator for the methods adopted
at the Folsom Prison TO preserve order,
secure the prisoners, enforce disciplinary
regulations and conduct the general affairs
of the institution. 1t has not been claimed
that superior pathological system has
been attained in California prisons, or that
they are not still the proper subjects for
improvement. But as matters now are, it
rests mainly with the legislative arm OF
the State to introduce those reforms which
psychological science approve as needed to
the attainment of the true purpose OF i'm.
prisonment. The Wardens may do much,
but cannot accomplish great results until
the State changes her system radically.
However all that may be, such consider
atious were not involved in the case of the
Folsom Warden. He was under specific
charges which were fatty disproven, and
he gets his clearance. not by Scotch yer.
dict, but by sqaarely affirmative acquittal
on the evidence.

seek safety in fight, scarce pausing until
he had recrossed the Hellespont, which,
but little while before, in his impotsnt
rage. he had caused to be scourged with
300 lashes for destroying the 6rtt bridge of
boats he had thrown over from Abydos on
his march to conquer Greece.
Ever since the rich galleys of Persia and
the iron. proved trirenes of Greece have
lain upon the bed of Sslamis straits. Gre
cisn divers, centuries ago, CROPPED among
them for treasures, but the psychologists
of TO-. day deem that there remains enough
of the curious to reward them for such
search as by the aid of modern submarine
apparatus can be made. And so the Yam
kee diver and the German dredger and the
English excavator and the French fishlike
submarine boats are to be bought to the
service of antiquarians in dragging from
the sands of Salamis, where the channel
was once choked by the richly-decked and
ieweled Persian ships of war, the trophies
of Grecian victory won 2 200 years and
more ago. We are told that the society
that is to undertake this work is backed
by a fund of Several hundred thousand dol.
lars, and it will probably require it all to
drag from the Attic shore the relics believed
to strew the bottom of the strait. Fortu.
nately for the psychologists, the precise
situation of the fleets when they grappled
in the death struggle is known. The Greek
vessels were in line directly in front of the
still visible ruins of the ancient town of
Salamis, which occupied a place upon the
northeastern shore of the island. Directly
opposite upon the shore of Attics, and but
ten miles distant from the still smoking
Athens, was the almost countless swarm of
Persian ships. In the strait itself, or
little to the northeast of the deeper chan.
mel, the fleets met, the iron beaks fastened
upon the vitals of the hulls, and the sold
iers of Greece and Persia engaged in that
terrible struggle, dependent upon personal
prowess, skill in the use of weapons, and
hand o-hsnd encounter.
The world will look with great interest
for the outcome of this strange diving into
classic waters to discover to modern gaze
the relics of war of the heroic nations
of the distant past 1t is not expected that
there will be made to our store of knowl-
edge any great additions by this research,
but it is possible that it will result in salts
flying largely natural curiosity and in in
creasing very much the technical informa.
ton of archaeological associations, and the
curious collections of the worlds museums.

THE COST OF PEACE TO PERU.

The treaty between Chile and Peru was
ratified on the 10Th inst. by the Con-
stitueut Assembly of the latter nation, and
Peru is now assured of peace. The main
points of the treaty may be thus epito-
mixed. The Republic of Peru cedes, I'M
condtionally and forever, the territory of
the littoral province of Tarapaca the
limits of the territory of the provinces of
Tacna and africa will continue to be held
by Chile, and will be subject to Chilean
legislation for ten years. when it shall be
determined by plebiscite in popular vote
whether the territory of the provinces
mentioned shall remain definitely under
the dominion and sovereignty of Chile, or
continue under that of Peru. The country
to which may be annexed the provinces of
Tacna and africa shall pay TO the other ten
millions of dollars in Chilean silver money,
or in Peruvian soles of the same weight
and assay. In conformity with the terms
of the decree by which Chile ordered the
sale OF 1000, 600 tons of guano, the net
proceeds of this sale, after deductiug the
expenses, shall be equally divided between
Chile and the creditors of Peru whose
claims may be found to be supported by
the guarantees of the guano. When the
sale of this 1000, 900 tons is concluded,
Chile will continue paying over to Peruvian
creditors so per cent. of the net proceeds
of the guano until the debt is covered or
the deposits are exhausted. If, in the ter
ritory belonging to Peru, new deposits or
beds of gusno be discovered, it is agreed
that the two Governments will jointly and
previously determine as to the proportion
and condition to which each must bind
himself in disposing of the article. The
Lobos Islands are to continue under the
administration of Chile until such time as
from the deposits now being worked the
expectation of the 1000, 900 tons of guano
is completed, when the islands will be re-
turned to Peru. Chile agrees to cede to
Peru SO per cent. of the net proceeds of
the Lobos Islands guano. The indemnities
due from Peru to such Chileans who have
suffered damages by reason OF the war, will
be determined by tribunal of arbitrament
or an international mixed commission.
