THE RIVAL DEMOCRATIC CONVENTIONS. Two Democratic State Conventions met at Syracuse this year, and Tildeu and Tammany confronted each other liercely and stubbornly. The Tilden Convention re fused to make any concessions, and John Kelly's Convention made an equally reso lute demonstration. The anti-Tainniany Convention did not exactly instruct its delegates for Tilden, but it amounts to the same thing. It is evident that the war between the factions will be carried on to the end of the campaign, and that Tain-' many represents a very powerful element in opposition to Tilden, His ability to carry hi 3 own State is thus made so ex ceedingly doubtful that the chances of his nomination are correspondingly lessened. There seems no doubt that he will keep up the contest to the last ; but .13 the case stands now it is certain that his nomina tion will divide the Democratic votes in New York, and, unless Grant is the Ke publican candidate, give the State to that party. THE LESSEPS SCHEME. When the extraordinary statements made by M. I>essep3 regarding his American ex perience were first reported from France, we expressed the opinion that he had been inventing a good many of his facts, cud particularly we questioned the accuracy of his declaration that three hundred millions of francs had been subscribed to his canal in the United States. Reports from the Eastern States now confirm our suspicions, by showing that he secured no subscrip tion whatever, and that the capitalists of New York and other Eastern cities held aloof from his project unanimously, no confidence being felt in it. If. Lesseps has made a very bad business of his American visit, and before long it will become neces- j sary for him to retract the most of his wild j and fanciful statements. He has not se cured the capital for his canal either here or in Europe, and we do not think it at all likely he will succeed ii. doing so. KEARNEY'S REMAND. Kearney's first attempt to get ont of the Hou3e of Correction has failed. The Su perior Court sitting in bacc hu dec. that it could not review the decision of one j of its member 3, and therefore it will be | necessary to 'try the habeajt corpus again before the Supreme Court, and see if that j tribunal will hear the case. It is greatly to be hoped, for the public welfare, that j all these efforts to save Kearney fiom the j punishment he has so richly earned, mny prove abortive. His escape under a tech nicality of any kind would have a IBM* mischievous effect upon the minds of his ignorant followers, and would revive th.it contempt for the law which is their worst j characteristic at present. He ought to be I left to serve out his sentence to the end. I That is certainly the most wholesome dis position of his case. Superior Jcdce. — Governor Perkins has issued to Marcus H. Wiir.in a commission aa Superior Judge of Mono county. The trails on the Utah Southern Exten sion are now running as far as Black Hock, a point about twenty-five miles south of Deseret. The work of laying the track to Frisco is going forward energetically. THE RESULTS OF PERSONAL JOURNALISM. The tragedy wl'ich occurred in San i Francisco last Friday was, in its broadest j associations, the fruit of personal journal ism. It was the logical outcome of that '. theory which posits a right on the part of publishers to hound men to ruin and shame under the elastic plea of concern for the ; public weal. And it is instructive to ob- j serve that in practice many of the most j shocking scandals and most demoralizing i crimc3 have been led tip to by the opera- j tion of this doctrine, wherever and when- j ever it has been adopted. That it should i result in desperate and even murderous | acts cannot be marveled at, for it involves the constant employment of the moat ex asperating and injurious agencies conceiva ble. Its adoption by one party to a con- j troversy invariably leads to its adoption by the other, and when angry men, whether publishers or candidates, have resorted to the vilest charges against one another, it is plain that they are very likely to go a step i further, and seek in personal violence the satisfaction which mere vituperation fails to afford. It would be impossible to find a more striking illustration of this process than the feud between CharlesDe Youngand the Kal lochs. Both sides first exhausted every art of calumny, and then followed two murder ous attacks, the first unsuccessful, the sec ond only too successful. And in this case it is further apparent that personal jour nalism is mainly responsible for the elec tion of the elder Kalloch to an office for i which he is singularly disqualified. For there can be little question that he was elected Mayor of San Francisco, not aa a mark of confidence in himself, but because many people sought to give emphasis to their indignation at the attempt made by Charles De Young to assassinate him. His election was thus the effect of a popular revulsion against personal journalism, and j in accepting him the people of San Fran- i cisco accepted one evil to rebuke a greater. The crimes which have grown out of this feud show how absurd is the pretense that the kind of journalism which produced them is in the interests of civilization and good government. Facts speak more strongly than words, and against all the sounding phrases with which it has been sought to disguise and justify this method of conducting news papers, we may confidently appeal to the fruits of the policy. Not only did the Chronicle's method of assailing men not prevent the election of a man who is gen erally conceded to be unfit for public honor or trust, but it actually produced the very situation it was directed against. It is ex tremely doubtful if Kalloch could have been elected Mayor of San Francisco through any othtr influence than that of De Young's pistol, yet the use of that pis tol was one of the direct consequences of the Chrou irlr'n peculiar theory of journalism. Thus it is evident that as a protection to the community personal journalism is a failure. It does not prevent the election of unfit men to ofiice. On the contrary, it ia at all times likely to produce a reaction • in favor cf the assailed, such as will give them what they arc striving for. But it is not only a distinct failure from this point of view. It is, as all can now perceive clearly enough, a powerful promoter of new evil and demoralization. Instead of helping j the community to a higher civilization, it ! drags it back toward barbarism. The attempted assassination of Kalloch | by De Young last October, and the actual j assassination of De Y'ouug by Kalloch'a son now, are the mo3t pronounced and im portant results of a line of journalism which was said to be in the interests of j the people and of good government. And it is not dillicult to perceive that similar j results must always flow from similar pol icies. The publisher who sets oat to im- j prove society by unmeasured vilification of ! all who are in his way, or whom lie thinks I dangerous to the public weal, ought not j only to be above reproach himself, but he ought to be immortal aud invulnerable. If he is neither he will sooner or later I provoke some one to retorting his own methods upon him, and thtn the scene will have been set for a tragedy such as has just taken place. It is time the lesson I of this dark and melancholy history was I taken to heart in this State. It is Hot ' by a bold pretense of public spirit, sup ported by ferocious detraction and un scrupulous invective, that reforms are established, or a higher condition of poli- j tics or morals reached. The agencies nee- j essary to the carrying out of such a policy j can only produce consequences akin to j themselves. No community was evrr the I better for being familiarized with cal- I umny, for being taught to anticipate fresh slaughters of character every day, for being led to believe that no real differ ence exists between the habitual murder of j men's and. women's reputations, and the j loftiest codes of ethic 3. IVrsonal journal- I ism is debasing and corrupting, because it I deals only in low and malignant impulses, j It appeals to the basest and most con- i temptiblc traits in human character, and to no othere. It is, moreover, so dangerous ! and fearful a method of journalism that in ' the hands of weak or bad men it must in evitably become an intolerable «courge to the community, and inasmuch as it tends directly to stimulate all the most brutal and revengeful feelings in the j breasts of those who are its victim?, it operates to encourage the worst crimes, and to disseminate a cynicism fatal to moral advancement. In fact it may be I said of it that its results are only and al- ! ways evil, and that a journal so conducted occupies the position of a sort of Devil's i Pulpit in a community, spreading every- I I where malign and venomous suggestions \ i and influences, making bad men worse, i m.ikiug good men bad, adding desperation to immorality, and sowing the seeds of a j crop which is certain, sooner or later, to be j harvested in blood and tears. Let us hope j that the tragedy just enacted before their ', eyes will convince the people of California j that personal journalism ia a thing to be shunned and avoided. WELLS, FARGO & CO. AND THE POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT. Discussion and inquiry have altogether I failed in developing the reason for the pro- : posal to -withdraw the mail-carry in,' privi lege from Wells, Fargo & Co.'s Express Company. The statements made by the ; Commission are so far from accuracy that ■ it might be thought the whole movement was the result of misapprehension, were it not for the fact that the Postal Department appears to persist in its determination to • enforce this capricious, unreasonable, and ' injurious policy. The assertion that the entire mail carriage ought to be in the , hands of the Government can only be ; assented to if it is shown that the Govern- j ment is prepared to take up and carry on : the entire mail carriage. We know, how- ■ ever, that it is not prepared to do this. ; It cannot guarantee the carriage of a large percentage of the mail matter which it pro poses to prohibit the transportation of by ' Wells, Fargo & Co. It therefore follows [ that its proposition involves the diminution , of mail facilities, and the deprivation of those facilities aa regards many hundreds of small places on the Pacific coast. The Gov ernment comes to this coast and finds in operation a perfect system of mail carriage, supplementing and extending its own agencies. It has no ground of com plaint on the score of lo3s of revenue, be cause every letter carried by Wells, Fargo & Co. pays full Government postage, in ad dition to tli3 express charges. As a large number of Wells, Fargo'a routes are to places where no postofices exist, it is per fectly clear that so far from losing anything in this way, the Postotlice gains consider ably, since it would not obtain anything for letters carried on any of these routes it Wells, Fargo & Co. did not carry them. And this circumstance adds to the unrea sonableness of the proposition to prohibit the carriage of letters by the Express Com pany, for it demonstrates that in carrying out that proposition Government must not only deprive a great many people of all mail facilities, but must diminish its own resources. Is it worth while for a Government Department to take so much trouble with no better results than (1) the injury of the public, and (2) the injury of itself? The Express Com pany makes much new business for the Government, and does not deprive it of anything. The Government receives its three cents for every Express envelope sold, and thousands cf these envelopes are sold every month for transmission upon routes which include no Postotfices. Wells, Fargo & Co., have established themselves in the esteem and confidence of the people of California and the Pacific Blope gener ally, because they have furnished a most comprehensive and perfect system of trans portation. No Postmaster-General has any justification for abolishing the state of things now existing, unless he is prepared to do for this public, as regards the carri age of letters, all that Wells, Fargo & Co. are doing. To talk of prohibiting the car riage of letters by the Express Com pany without offering to supply the place of that agency, is, as we have shown, to make a wanton and most' injurious attack upon the only means of communication possessed by a considerable percentage of the population of this coast. We cannot believe that the Postmaster - General or Congress would understanding!}- contemplate so mischievous and at the same time useless a step. For it is unquestionably a proposition in which all the implications are against public policy, and which contains no compensa tions. Wells, Fargo & Co. fulfill a separate and distinct function, in no way trenching upon or injuring the business of the Postal Department. They furnish facilities which the Postoflice Department has never pro vided. They have consequently done very much to promote settlement, business, and civilization, on the Pacific coast, and they are indispensable to the people. The Postmaster-General would commit a most serious error if he should allow himself to be persuaded into sanctioning so unjusti fiable and damaging a policy, and it is to be hoped that Congress will not stand by apathetically and see such an injury in dicted upon California and bet neighbors. THE DEBRIS BILL IN CONGRESS. A late dispatch from Washington holds I out the hope that Mr. Berry's debris bill will be passed, and that consequently an i appropriation of §.")00,000 will be made j available for the defence of our valley lands j against the material from the mines. The favorable disposition manifested by Con gress towards this measure is no doubt | largely duo to the action taken by our State Legislature on the subject. Had the debris | bill not bsen passed here, Congress would very certainly have declined to do any ' thing in the premises, logically arguing i that if the State did not think the ques ! tion of sufficient consequence to provide j remedies for if, the National Government I could have no interest in it. BROWNED IN A CLOUD-BURST. [Stockton Independent, April li 4 * S I . J Particulars of the death of C. J. .Smith, who was drowned last \Yednesday in Mer ced cuunty, have just been received in this city. 'He was visiting his sheep range, on Deadman's creek, near I'lainsburg, iutend j in.; to begin shearing as soon as the weather should moderate sufficiently, and he had a gang of men camped on the ground for that purpose. The camp of the shearers was on i high ground, overlooking a gulch, which at i this point runs between high ami precipit ! ous banks, and Smith occupied a cabin I lower down and close to the edge of the gulch. Late on Wednesday afternoon, the weather showing do signs of abat ing, he left the pens, and ac companied by a Portuguese, went ot the lower cabin. Shortly after the shear : era on the hill above heard a rushing sound, quickly succeeded by a terrible roaring and crackling, as if every rock an 1 bowlder on the mountain sk;e had been i torn from its hold and was being burled ! along the bed of the gulch. They knew ! in an instant what had happened, and re- I alized the frightful position of Smith and j the Portngneae. They rushed toward the | cabin, yelling at the top ot their voices for i the doomed men to leave the cabiu, and the latter evidently heard them, for two dazed, bewildered faces appeared at the door for a single instint, the next a solid wall of water, debris, and great misses of earth and rock struck the lightly-built I thaiity.ati'l all that it contained disappeared 1 in the boiling waters, Tnesccuepasse;! likea frightful vision before the eye* of the horrilied spectators on the bank, and for a j moment they stood as if paralyzed. As toon las the water subsided somewhat, starch 1 was made for the unfortunate victims, and the Portuguese was found the next day about two miles below the scene of the ! catastrophe. The body of Mr. Smith was i uot found until the next day, having lodged j among the rocks about five miles below the I camp. The only injury found upon the | body of Smith was a bruise on t::e fore ( head, and there can be no doubt but that he was drowned and not killed by eon ! tact of the bowlders. The cause of this j sudden deluge in a gulch that is precipi | tous enough to carry off any ordinary | amount of water, was evidently a cloud • burst in the mountains where the gulch ' heads, such phenomenon being of frequent j occurrence in that section. When found > among the rocks of the gulch, the body of I Smith was imbedded in a nia.°s of sand and ! mud, his hand, wrist and a portion of | the forearm only being visible. The arm i stood straight up out of the sand, aud it j was this circumstance that led to the dis- I covery of the body. Mr. Smith was a I rebident of Stockton, and kaves a family. RAILROAD ACCIDENT. [Rtno Gazette, April 23d. 1 At 1 :30 A. m. yesterday the down freight trim fr.un Virginia, in rounding the curve mar Merrimac, struck a bowlder which had fallen on the track. The train was drawn by two engines. The after engine jumped the track and rolled down into the river, while the first remained on the grade. George Hayward, roadma3ter, sprang from the engine just before the collision. A number of dump care were piled upon him. When extracted he could not spe.ik. and died in a few minutes. Robert D.ilton, the engineer of the Washoe, the engine that rolled into the river, remained on his engine until it fell down the bank. He was badly injured, and his recovery is un certain.

Portland, April 25th. — The weather is warm and lovely. The recent Kalloch-De Young tragedy has excited much public comment here. From the general expressions it would seem that very little public sympathy is felt for De Young. The general conclusion is that he , met a . fate which might reasonably have been expected long ago. While this is the case, the action of Kalloch is by no means upheld or justified. Henry Yillard and party returned from their trip up the Columbia last evening. The sixty-first anniversary of the introduc tion of Odd Fellowship into the United States will be observed here to-morrow even ing by the various Lodges and Encamp ments of the Order with a mammoth concert and ball, to be held at the Mechanics' Pavilion.

What is Thought at Washington and Chi cago of the San Francisco Tragedy. MISCELLANEOUS FOREIGN NEWS ITEKS. Three Hundred Roumanian Families Ren dered E omelets by Fire. etc Eir *:•<-.. MHESTIC mWS. Ileeeplion or the .Venn or (he Dc loans Tragedy at Washington — Uooni for Field. [Special to the Rkcord-Uxion.l Washington, April 25th.— Only one of the Washington newspapers to-day makes edito rial allusion to the tragic news from San Francisco, which, aside from, the bare an nouncement of the shooting, is published for the first time here this morning. : The excep tion is Itamsdel's Republic, which contains the following editorial : "Mr. Kalloch's son has shot and killed diaries Do Young for abusing his father, just as De Young shot and came ueir killing Kalloch for abusing De Young's mother. Kearney is in jail, and San Francisco is - excited. It is the fit ting crisis of a violent and dis graceful quarrel. No oDe can have a more profound contempt for that bowling dema gogue, Denis Kearney, than 1 have. He was very properly put in jail for his dangerous and abusive harangues. Meanwhile the same Courts allowed De Young, who had not only attempted to commit murder, but daily pub lished in his paper just as abusive words as Kearney uttered on the sand lots, to run at large. Society must protect itself, but it should be just. Such rigor against Kearney, such Inches of justice towards De Young, were not calculated to inspire the honest but deluJed Wi rkingmen with respect for the equal justice of the law. Unbridled and abusive licentiousness in the press is as reprehensible a* on the sand lots. Violence on the part of the De Youngs was as criminal as violence on the part of Kalloch. Let equal justice be done to all, and not only will property be protected but labor will be content. The Sunday Gazette, on its first page, to day prints a tine wood-cut portrait of Justice Field, accompanied with a complimentary biographical sketch, in the course of which it gives him the credit of the authorship of the "Provisions of Mining Law," upon which rests the settled policy of California, and of all other States and Territories containing precious metals. The Gazette also quotes Judge Joseph Baldwin, of California, as say ing of Judge Field: "He has, more than any other man, given consistency and system to our adjudication, and laid broad and deep the foundation of our civil and criminal law. The land titles of the State — the moat impor tant and permanent of the interests of the great commonwealth — has received from his hand their permanent protection, and this alone should entitle him to the lasting grati tude of the bar and the people." Vtlinl is Thought of the San I r;in<; <•<> Tragedy at < iiii as«. Chicago, April 25th. — The comments of the papers on the San Francisco tragedy agree in denouncing it as a cold-blooded, law less . performance, which every good citizen must condemn. All agree, also, that the De Youngs, by disreputable journalism, have provoked just Mich action. Tiie Times has a long article reviewing the newspaper success of Charles De Young and denouncing Kal loch. Another Victim- tons: .Standing Sail I>c cideil. New York, April '_>-">th.— Mrs. A. W. Swan, one of the ladies injured at the Madi son Square Garden, died to-day. The suit of K. Hoe & Co. vs. Cottrell 4 Babcock, which was before the Courts for nearly five year?, has been concluded by a dc ci.-ion of the United States Circuit Court for the District of Connecticut, sustaining Hoe's patent for a pripper, delivery cylinder and tapes leading theiefrom to the fly. This affects all printing presses on which the fly delivers the iheets printed side up without smutting. * . The Northwestern Storm— Crop Outlook. Chicago, April — Further reports of last night's storm are received, and show that it extended over the whole Northwest, with frequent tornado-like exhibitions. In Loraine, la., Friday night, a cyclone destroyed everything in its path, which was half a mile wide. Seven houses were leveled to the ground, and a lumber of outbuildings destroyed. Several persons were seriously injured. : Last night's rain and lightning caused in the aggregate much damage in Chicago, but only in small amounts. '.■'. Some half a dozen persons were injured by lightning striking the house. . ; ; Rochester, near Springfield, IM., and Car ■ linviile also, had severe and destructive wind j storms. : The cold weather and heavy soil have pre vented seeding in most parts of ; the North west, and farmers are much behind with their spring work. This seems to be particularly the case in Minnesota. ■ Reports are conflicting about winter wheat iin Illinois. It seems to be in excellent con dition, while in lowa, Minnesota and -Wis | consin it has been seriously damaged during i the open winter, and in some counties will be nearly a failure. ; , Westward-Bound Passengers. ..'. : Omaha, April 25th. —The following through passengers • were on to day's train, ■: leaving ! at 12:15 P.

The list includes all classes — editors, compos itors, pressmen, newsboys, saloon-keepers and hackiren. The law is very stringent, allow ing no work or business done except house hold duties, and it is Faid that policemen, firemen, and the telegraph people will be re ported. The case will probably be tested shortly. Trail*- at New York. New York, April 25th. — The volume of trade in leading departments shows a gradual shrinkage, and a weak tone is rjuite percepti ble in most markets.
