uNrARALLELED sTUrIpIrY.

Our citizens are finding out that corrup-
ton is running riot in this city. In the
Legislature the worst members hailed from
San Francisco. They were bold and brazen
to a degree almost without precedent. Prob
ably not a single intelligent person who has
kept himself posted as to what was being
done at Sacramento doubts that money was
used TO elect Senators and to carry various
other obnoxious propositions. There APP
pears, however, to have been one redeemlng
feature, and that was the Governor Our
purpose to-day in inditing this paragraph
is not to notice tue misGeeds of the Legisle-
ture, but to turn 10 San Francisco, and
direct attention to the results of the pur-
chase and sale of conventions here. We
have Witnessed tile effects of this system
when applied 10 State legislation and to our
municipal government in the past. We
have been plundered, and the parties con-
cerned were so emboldened by impunity
that they laughed at the efforts to punish
them. We rralze that justice is quality
frequently difficult Of attainment in our
courts 1t has been said over and over
again, that jurors are tempered with, and
that where there is an abundance of money,
and certain class Of counsel employed.
convictions for crime cannot be obtained.
Why should such a condition of affairs
exist? 1t is asked. If men are elected
to the Legislature, and as Supervisors in
San Francisco, Who can be bought how can
it be expected that other officers elected un-
der similar circumstances may not be used?
The public believe that during most of the
time for several years past we have had in
Office County Clerks who employed men not
much better than the members Of the last
II has hEpu said fVpQnpntlV
that the proprietor Of certain newspaper
has bargained beforehand to obtain control
OF most of the deputies in Tie Clerks Office.
If such a statement as this be true may it
not be equally true that men who Will use
money freely can put deputies in the Clerks
otIice who are usabIe? The complaint that
justice is shott-Sighted in San Francisco
must be due to the fact that our citizens per-
nit a few disreputable persons to nominate
their candidates for flee. This may even
apply TO judges, and explain why it is 50
difficult to punish crime. Admitting, how
ever that judges are all honest, is it well to
permit the criminal element 10 nominate
them? THE CALL marvels that affairs are
not even worse than they are in our courts
when the persons who select Jurors and
judges are the associates OF Buckley and his
henehmen. Admitting that our judges in
all cases are honest and capable, what is to
hinder corporation or private interest
from using money IN a convention to nomi-
nate candidates for these important posi-
tions whose opinions on important questions
are known in advance? 1t must be evident
tina. our citizens will not long entrust the
nomination of their candidates for Office,
judges and all, to such men as Buckley and
his hen1hmaO

THE SOUTH WONT HEAR STANLEY.

If it be true that Stanley has been COM
PEELED to cancel his dates in Texas through
an 0utburst of feeling caused by the fact
that he abandoned the Confederate cause
shortly after the outbreak of the war the
world will have TO revise its opinion regard
ing the spread of intelligence in that State.
The money which the traveller would have
made by half dozen lectures in Texas Is
of very little consequence to him; but it
should be matter of considerable interest
to the Texans to make the acquaintance OF
the greatest discoverer this century has
known. BY and by, when Stanley is dead,
his signal services TO science and civilization
will be better appreciated than they are
now, and those who met him and heard him
speak will recall the circumstance with
pride. The Texans have denied themselves
the privilege of belonging to this class.
Patriotism, within certain limits, and ex-
hibited in dec0rous fashion, is not bad
thing. 1t was well at the beginning of the
war that Northern men remembered they
had country and that it was worth fight
ing for. But patriotism, as evinced by cher
ishing grudge against one who, not being to
the manner born, did not see his way to fight
ing for the maintenance of human slavery, is
neither more nor less than a mean instinct.
1t is the instinct which prompted the Paris
populace to sack the residence of NJ. Theirs
because he could not see the way to fight
Germany in 1870; it is the instinct whose
display Is the revenge of the narrow-minded
upon those who are broader and brighter
than they.
1t would have been we'll for the people Of
Texas if they had all followed Mr. Stanley's
example in 1862, and made terms with the
United States. They would have saved
some valuable lives and vast amounts of
property, and they would have established
a reputation for sagacity which they do not
now possess, and which the recent incident
implies that they are not in a way to acquire

a CHEAP PAVEMENT.

A newspaper contemporary expresses the
opinion that stone-block payements cannot
be well laid on sand foundation. This is
mistake. A stone pavement thus laid, if
the work be we'll done. forms good and
durable pavement.
In Paris much of the pavement is laid in
this way, and it is durable as well as cheap.
In that city, however, a different system is
followed from that adopted in San Fran
cisco. When the pavement is once down 1t
is not suffered to get out of repair, for it is
watched. and as soon as a stone gets out of
place or sinks below the general level, it is
put in place again. A store is pried up and
more sand tamped beneath it if need be.
Thus Partisan pavements are kept in good
condition without waste of money.

HONOR VS.. THE SACK.

One Of our newspaper contemporaries in
discussing the proposition TO have the people
vote for the candidate they would like to
elect United States Senator, believes that
such vote would be regarded by members
of the Legislature as binding. 1t says:
Honor is The only bond In politics anyway, and
the more the honor is depended on The more
Strength 1t ems 10 have. We can foresee a
direct aenefit in nominating Senatorial eandi-
dale and trusting 10 The honor of legislators to
ratiiy 1t. They will not defy the obligation OF
honor.
This is the opinion of the AltG California.
The public do not have quite as much faith
in the honor of some of our politicians as does
the paper named. A sack seems to be much
more potent in its effects.

AMERICAS CIrIzENsH1r.

In another column will be found an article
from the Elrezid on the present naturaliza-
ton laws of this country. Our Swiss Italian
contemporary does not propose TO take from
naturalized American citizens any rights
which they at present possess, but suggests
amendments to the law which will exclude
foreigners from the privileges of citizenship
until they have become in sentiment and
purpose American. At present. our con-
temporary says, thousands of foreigners are
naturalized without comprehending the ma
ture of the act. They imagine that they
have acquired some privilege that may be
valuable in this country without changing
their relations to the country OF their birth.

POOR MATERIAL FOR HISTORY.

1t is strange what matter gets into print
in the Eastern States relative to California
affairs which may ultimately be woven into
history by some person knowing little or
nothing about US. Thus we see it stated that
Starr King kept California from going out
o! the Mon with the SeceSsioniStS. There
is really nothing in this, fer Mr. King was
only one Of the thousal DIS who labOred for
the. Union cause in California. The truth is
California could not have been taken out of
the Union, for there was not one-twentieth
part and we may we'll say one-fftieth part,
of our population who would have favored
such policy. California was filled with
persons from the free States in 1880 and
in 1S51-52. There was never any show for
slavery or its advocates in California from

ORANGES IN ALAMEDA COUNTY.

We havereceived box of oranges from the
orchard of Mr.. Mayhem of Niles, which are
fully equal to those raised in any other por-
ton of the State. They are large and of fine
flavor. Those received are of the Washing
ton navel variety. Mr.. Mayhem has about
five hundred orange trees, some of which have
been set ont only one or two years. Some
of those Of two years growth in his orchard
have three or four oranges on them, while
the large trees are loaded with fine fruit.
Those persons who visit Mr. Mayhew's Or
chard are convinced that oranges can be
raised in Alameda County, under the hills
at least extending from Haywards past Niles
to the old Mission of San Jose.

Quentin will be very attractive to the aver
age Assem- blyman." This explanation seems
plausible. There is reason to believe that
good many Assemblymen were taking San
Quentin chances nearly every day. At the
last moment several of them escaped by the
inability of the committee appointed to in
vestigate the Senatorial scandal to find
messenger of the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company. 1t is not surprising that men
who were walking on such thin ice should
throw out safety lines in case of accidents.
A Governor Waterman in possession of the
pardoning power takes from boodling much
of its ordinary danger.

STRUCK THE BUMPER.
An Accident at Cable Railroad
Crossing.

Two people were seriously injured yes
terday afternoon by being thrown from the
dummy of a car of the O'Farrel, Hyde and
North Beach branch of the California-street
cable road.
About o'clock in the afternoon the car
of the road mentioned was crossing the Cali
fornio-street road at the Hyde-street cross
ing. The gripman must let go there in
order to allow the car to pass free of the
rope of the other line He neglected to do
So and the grip in consequence struck the
bumi er with such force that lady named
Mrs. Garcia, who was occupying a front
SEAT, was thrown entirely over it backward
and had her head badly lacerated.
She then rolled from the car into the street.
where she attempted to rise to her feet, but
fell to the ground in an unconscious condi-
ton. The lady, who is a visitor TO the city,
was forthwith removed to the residence of
Nj rs. Rainey, and the company's physician,
DR.. Gibbon, was sent Tor. AT a late hour he
had not arrived, and the woman was suffer-
Ing eXcruciatiug pain.
A man, whose name was withheld by the
authorities of the company, had his nose
broken and his spectacles shattered so badly
that the glass entered his left eye and may
cause the loss of that organ. Superintendent
Harris said that otherwise the ACCIDENT did
not amount to much.

A contemporary cannot account for the
refusal of the Assembly TO consider the

donng power from the Governor and plac-
ing it in the hands of commission, except
on the assumption that the members OF that
