We suppose we shall be permit
ted to Indulge iv some proviucial
amusement at the condemned cool
ness with which the New York
papers, aud the presses of the other
moneyed centres, discuss the silver
bill, the Matthews resolution and
all other propositions which have
any bearing on the national finan
ces. Tbey assume, with an icy
frigidity which smacks of the
frozen Adelia-land aud the North
Pole, that all their outgivings are
Gospel verities. With a prudence
for which we commend them, they
avoid argument and deal exclus
ively in et cathedra utterances.
Our memory does not to-day sup
ply us with a single solid, convinc
ing argument made use of by the
New York press at any stage of
this controversy. Every one of
their articles reads as though they
had argued the question fully a
week or so before, and that there
was therefore no need of fresh ar
guments. On hunting over their
flies for the last year one would
And no such thorough discussion
of the matter as they assume to
have indulged in. Instead, one
would encounter simply the same
.old,, bald assertions. The reason
for the absence of argument is
easily understood. They dare not
state the real motive which gov
erns them, which is a slavish sub
servience to the interests of the
bondholders at home and abroad.
The New York newspapers are re
ally abetting lhe New York capi
talists in their abject dcfereuco to
the Euglish moneyed power, just
as the New York exquisite is
learning to ape the "Aw, He-haw"
■uob who drives stags couches iv
England, aud who is so devoid of
intellect that he lias settled dowu
to a rivalry with tbe commonalty
iv their coarsest occupations.
The ouly approach to an argu
ment against the double standard
ever seen by us is that, by its adop
tion, we shall throw ourseives out
of gear with the rest of thu mon
eyed world. This is an impudent
assumptiou. Because, after a
■truggie of nearly oue huudred
years, England has succeeded in
getting hold of more gold than
auy other country, she desires to
increase its purchasing power
by giving it special value. The
bondholders of New York and
Boston also wish to he paid in gold
and they therefore desire to in
crease tlie purchasing or selling
value of the coin they would re
ceive for their coupon?. As a mat
ter of Tact, Prance is to day a
double standard countiy, and fully
five-sixths of the populations of tlie
world are on the same basl3.
Why should the United
States defer to the lead
ership of Great Britain
in money matters? Tlie fact is tbat
if we bad in this country to-day an
Intelligent and energetic spirit cl
we are ourselves the
natural leaders of mankind.
Through a blundering and imbe
cile control of tbe national admin
istration—a control more inter
ested in low jobbing and robbery
for the account of pot-house poli
ticians than In anything else—we
bave thrown our commerce and
ship building to the winds. We
trust to see the United States, iv
the next decade, mainly interested
in throwing ofT every sign of vas
salage to Europo even if, in tho
struggle, it were necessary to
wound the sensibilities of the snobs
of New York and Boston. As a be
ginning, the country needs the in
terchangeable gold and silver dollar
ofthe father* us the medium for
paying the public debt—without
the addition of a grain of silver to
the silver dollar. Tho debt was
payable iv such a double standard
when it was created, aud the bond
holders should receive no more con
sideration than tlio letter of the
bond. If the foreign bondholder,
in his disgust at not being able to
fleece us, wants to tret rid of his
United States bonds, let us, in
God's name, pay bim in silver to
the last dollar. If he wishes to
press us to the bitter end, when tbe
last sbeckel has been paid out we
can suspend payment, like v pri
vate debtor. But there is no earth
ly danger of his forcing us to tlie
issue. His true interest, when he
sees he can't "bull-doze" us, is to
oppose uo impediment to tli at nall
lenlum, towards whicli we are
happily advancing, assisted by the
tremendous international balance
of trade in our favor, in which
gold, silver and greenbacks will
rank at par. That would be prac
tical inflation, expanding the vol
ume of the currency seventy or
eighty per cent., and it would
bring around again tbe miracles of
production aud development which,
until 1873, made tbe United States
the marvel of the world in all lhat
relates to material progress aud en
richment.
The preseut year opens for Cali
fornia at large with infinitely
greater promise than lust year.
This time twelve mouths ago It
was cert tin that the Stute would
have to undergo that gaunt and
grizzly experience known as a
drouth. Capital and enterprise
staggered under such a crushing
hardship. Neither will have lo
pack such a load the present sea-
Bon. Throughout the length and
breadth of California, even includ
ing the San Joaquin Valley, wo are
assured of crops. Whether tbey
bring a low figure or a high one,
they are a guarantee that every
one will have something. They
are a guarantee, also, that labor
will bo in demand. If, as is highly
probable, grain commauds v fair
price this year, California will be a
richly dowered region, and all who
live In Califorula will share in the
general prosperity.
Tub Argonaut is good enough to
say that Denuis Kearney Is the
leader of the Democracy. Wheu
the editor of the Argonaut und
other Kepublicaus come to post the
profit aud loss department of their
: political ledgers they will Had that
the Democracy will be the ultimate
gainers by a Workiugmau'e move
ment. There is uo object in a
Workingmau who Is a Democrat
leaving his own party, whicli is tlie
real champion of tlie Working
mau, while there is every motive
in the world to impel v Working
man who is a Republican to disso
ciate himself from tho aristocratic
party to which lie lias imparted
strength iv blis-ful ignorance of its
purposes and tendency. The Re
publican party will suiter heavily
by the defection of men from whose

Having beeu minutely success

are that the rain of the season is

We shall he mightily mistaken if

one rain of pronounced volume;
and, unless we miscalculate the at
mospheric conditions grossly, the

San Francisco, Feb. 4lU.—ln
the seduction case of Leunie Mc-
Cormick vs. E. J. Baldwin, the
plaiutiffthis morning on the wit
ness stand mada such it • bowing of
herself that her counsel made a
proposition to the attorneys on the
other side for tlie dismissal of the
suit. She testified falsely accord
ing to her own evidence, claiming
that she had never beeu married!
Ou examination of the records of
the County Clerk of Alameda
county, it was shown that
she married David P. Rickey
on tbo 80th of October,
187". It also transpires that she
has been guilty of bigamy. About
2 o'clock the lawyers in tlie case
held a consultation and the attor
neys for the defendant, W. H. L.
Barnes and It. H. Lloyd, declined
to accept a dismissal, but asked for
the submission ot tho case to the
jury. At the close of the confer
ence the court-room was cleared
of all spectators, including lawyers
not engaged in the trial. A few
remards were made by counsel and
the case was submitted. The jury
brought in a verdict for defendant.

Washinoton, Feb. 4th. — The
Sun's Washington special says: It
appears to be tbe general impres
sion that Hunlingtou's last oiler

that Huntington is ready to do for

Washington, Feb. 4th.—Willis,
of Kentucky, and Coring, of Mas
sachusetts, the sub-committee of
tho House Committee ou Educa
tion and Labor, wero not quite
ready to report on the Chinese
question to-day, and, consequently,
all action ou the subject was post
poned uutil Thursday next. The
committee, however, coutiuuod its
Informal discussion to some extent
this morning. The prominent
opinion wus that, apparently, the
most expedientoourse to pursue for
the present will be to report a
joint resolution for adoption by
Cougress, instructing the President
to invite the co-operation of China
aud Great Biitaiu to restrict Chi
nese immigration and prevent the
importation of the coolie class to
this country; but, if the committee
decide to report such a proposition,
it will bo with tbe distinct under
standing that tho committee re
serves the right to recommend
legislative action by Congress in
advance of tlie desired result being
attained through diplomatic chan
nels, iv cue of serious delay or
threatened failure. Tlie disposi
tion of some members of the com
mittee to adopt tblicircumlooutary
method has been strengthened and
tlie prospect of success for direct
ing effectual legislation is weak
ened by tlie ill-considered action
of tlie California Legislature In re
cently adopting a resolution asking
ouly only lor treaty modifications,
through the instrumentality of an
International Convention. It is
hoped, however, that the councils
ofthe more far-sighted members of
the committee and the arguments
of the California delegation may
prevail before the meeting to se
cure the committee's recommenda
tion for practical aud quickly oper
ating legislative actiou.
Sargent's brief as to the powers
of Cougress to legislate In contra
vention of treaty stipulations was
delayed by tlio printer until this
afternoon, but copies have now
beeu placed in the bands of ull the
members of the Committee aud
will in due season be distributed iv
Congress. This brief, after citiug
in logical order and with great
clearness the numerous decisions of
United States Courts and Attorney
Generals, aud the utterances of
Wbeatou uud Vattel bearing on
tho question discussed, concludes
as follows: "We may summarize
this whole matter by saying that
the United States Government, by
virtue of its sovereignty, lias the
right of self preservation and it is
its duty to exercise its powers for
the protection of its people; that
protection includes the preserva
tion of its people from lulluences
injurious to their happiness by cur
tailing the necessaries of life or in
terfering with their laudable and
innocent enjoyment; that it is
bound to exereiso these powers for
the benefit of its own people where
necessary, at the expense of the
convenience of the people of other
nations and that Congress is tlie
possessor of the constitutional
power by the passage of a law to
abrogate or modify treaties. This
power has been frequently exer
cised by Congress and its action up
held hy the Executive and Judicial
branches of the Government. It is
not the purpose of this brief to
stato tha reasons why this power
should be exercised, but simply
to show that it exists. We assume
that the Committee have full light
upon the great evils ulllicting the
VVestern States and Territories
from the iutlux of the vast num
bers of Asiatics who do not come as
ordinary immigrants or with the
purpose of making the Uuited
States their home; wlioare alien in
every respect and remain so aud
are au iudegestlble non-assimila
tive mass in our body politic; we
merely point out tbat Congress
possesses the power and is bound by
duty to provide a remedy for such
evil."

after (lie arrival of the Paciflo Mail
steamship connecting with tbe

Pacific Mail Company has made

Gov. McCorniick thinks it is
particularly desirable that exhibits
of minerals, wines and native
woods and also, of blankets and
other line California manufactures
should be large, but suggests that
the exhibits of purely agricultural
products should be limited in quan
tity and that duplications should
bo avoided, as large amounts of
agricultural products have beeu al

London, Feb. 4th.—A Vienna
dispatch says: Even in their imma
ture form the Russian conditions
seem to contain much that cau
scarcely bo brought into harmony
with the interests of Austria, being
rather calculated to sow the seeds
of fresh troubles than to promote
real and lasting peace. They de
stroy the Ottoman power in Eu
rope without substituting any
thing iv its place possessing guar
antees of stability. The smaller
States would receive just enough to
make them wish for more, while
Bulgaria would become little more
than a Russian dependency. The
restoration to tho Czar of Bessar
abia without a due equivalent to
Roumania, would make Russia
mistress of the mouth of theDauube.:
Thus, in the very preliminaries
themselves, thero is much that
must lead to discussion between
Austria aud Russia, and the
same must be the case,
though, perhaps, to a less
degree, with otber powers. Mean
time, Roumania has already an
nounced her claim to take part as a
belligerent iv tlie conclusion of
peace, the Minister of Foreign Af
fairs having issued a circular to
this effect. The Servians are
greatly disappointed witli the
frontier rectifications allowed thorn
by the Russiau preliminaries and
proclaim that, in spite of the ar
mistice, they will not stop opera
tions until tiiey have possession of
OKI Servia down to the river Loin.
