SS PRIDAY MORNING, JAN. ZOth. Pn Barmery axp Corrupriqxy.—Within a few days the public ear has been pained with the report of bribery and corruption smong the people’s representatives at the capital.’ It is a report melancholy to hear at any time, and especially so in these days when the -country-wante only_the n»blest exhibition of . purity and self-sacrifice. Bat when we know the report is not without foundation in truth, the effect is truly disgusting and sickening. That there has been a grand scheme of bribery concocted at Sacramento, and to some extent carried-out, isnot to-be. denied by any one who has had-access to the proper materials on which to found an opinion. It is only an old story, bat not the Jess disgusting on that account. There have been instances of corruption in every administration — We are apt to look back and compare the times of Washington with our own and to the disparagement of the present. Never theless, to those who have made themselves familiar with the secret history of the earlier days of the. Republic. it is known that corruption existed then as now. Vice, we assert, is not more prevalent now than then.— It seems to be a frailty of hdman nature to be selfish above state and national considera~ tions. The frailty is, perhaps, natural to all, but in some, the foree of education ‘or high moral developments override the natural_instincts. While the impulses of manki generally are such as they are, it is the interest of the people to select such represeitatives as may stand the test. The fault in __ gteat measure of corruption: in politics is inthe people themselves. Their representatives are representatives in more senses than one. Those who elect a man not of good . Character in every respect have little right to complain themselves if he sells both them . _and himself. Yet we may expect the usual amount of virtuous indignation on the part ot everybody at the developments making ut the capital. Undoubtedly some men have been bribed to vote for Mr. Phelps for'U. 8. Sen»tor,and more attempted to de bribed. It is but the re-enactment of the old game, that can easily be proven to have been played extensively yearafter year under the successive Demo~ cratic ‘dynasties, State and National. The ehief masters of ceremonies heretofore have beer. more adroit, and they were fuvored tuo by a powerful disposition on the part of par* ~ tisan friendé to cover up all party pcadillos. ~ Bribery has probably not been unknown _ in any contest for United States States Senator in California, but the disposition of al} parties except the Democratic hus been and is, to expose frauds and punish them. Thus, in the case of Heury Bates, State Treasurer, none went so far as those that elected him __ to ferret bis transactions out.and punish him. So too, when corruption was reported to be in vogie among the members of the Union te conceal it, but they demanded an investigation. It is only by this course that wrong ean-be put down, and the party that attempts to purify itself instead of masking the corruption ef some of ite members, endears it~ self to people. By striking at corruption openly it shows a desire for self-purification, its good intent is manifest, and that is what the people in these times particularly desire to see. While human nature is nearly the same in all parties, and while fraud is practiced to more-or less extent consequently in all, that party is beat deserving the considesation of honest men which-acts to purge and better itself.betty Not THE QUESTION.—The men who are bound to support Mr. Phelps for U. S. Seuator in spite of the chargea of bribery, take this position: ‘What if bribery has been done? Mr. Phelps is not responsible for his friends and is not implicated himself. _There~ fore, the caucus should-go on and nominate him and pay no attention to charges.” This ig sophistical. We take the ground that “Mr. Phelps is uncontaminated. But if he influéneesand ie pominated thereby, he is not the rightful nominee, the people of the State have been cheated, and no honest man is obligated to vote for him in joint convention, whatever may be the bonds of King Caucus. Phelps, above suspicion like Caesar's wife. shoyld not ride into power except by the unbeught votes of the people's representatives. ~~ . > aah Gawceeel + ont difficulty ? Tue SexaToRIAL STRUGGLE.—One of the hardest etruggles to make a Senator, thatthis State has ever known, bas been and somé of the friends of éne candidate at least has carried them to the verge of misdemesnor and. punishment. Why such insersate zeal? _ Hew is it=that men are willing to spend thousands upon thousands of dollars for the success of their favorite candidate ? lt is inexplicable to fs that such superbuman. efforts are put forth by the friends of Mr. Phelps to elect him. ‘Why is all the. Federal power on the coast, and why ail the ‘State in bis-tavet? What is there in his ca”: reer so attractive? Asa member of Corgréas wot one of his friends can sdy. nor do they say, h’ has done so much, or is ableto do so much as his colleague, Mr. Sargent.— Inall debates and in all kinds of legislative perior of Phelps. How happens it, then, that among the mass of wire-pullers the forIn these times when the fate of the nation hangs in the baldnee. it would seem that ev« ery honest man and patriot should earnestly desire to see the blest and best men promo~ ted to high places of trust in the Government. We remember that when Mr. Sargent returned from. Congress: last summer; some of these men who are now most strenuous for the election of Phelps, implored Mr. Sargent to take the stump and expose the ter= giversations, short-comings and sophistries of Latham., They were not backward in telling him that he was the only person on whom they relied to “jay out,” as they ex pressed it, the -wind-mili Senator. Mr. Sargent undertook the work, and it is the opinion of all men who have informed themselves s\as te be capable of ‘judging, that the Ma« published. and: distributed ,broadcast over the State, was the most effective instrument uded in the campaign for the overthrow of Mr, Latham. _ . Mr. Conness w San earnest and efficient worker in the same field,-but without disparagement to him we say, that-his speeches of the keen ¢riticism of Mr: & rgent'sefforts. As for the speeches uf Mr Ph&ips, it is the ‘Opinion of all* persons, we believe without exception, they were prosy, tame aid rapinous upon the mother tongue. XX On the score of ability and service, Mr. Sargent stands superior to his competitor, Mr. Phelps. But the power in favor of the latter is immense, and resorts to dishonorable means. Sansone ima Why it is, we are perplexed to fathom. Is it an age for the prominence of superlative pumpkin-heads, and ‘has all the-world caught the spirit of theage? Does the safety of the Union demand mediocrity instead of talent. and does the patriotism-ef theqmople reeognizethe binding force of the demand ? ~ We have men in the State of splendid tal ent. Is it nottime that we called fora new deal. ‘thus far thuse have managed the cards whose highest ambition has been to turn up a Jack. “A New MaN."—Some of. our cotempor-~ party, no efforts were made by the majority . aries, the Sacramento Union-among thé num-+ ber, are clamering fo? the Union Legislative Caucus to take up @ new man. They also = speak of a new man being less objectionable than any of the candidates in the field. There ia an object.in allthis. But the sensible and honest-people of the State will demand to know what the objections are, to the prominent candidates. It is not our purpose to state objections here, but ask what the ob. jections to Mr. Sargent are.’ How ia he objectionable ?___Politically, is ha not a pure man? Morally, is he not the peer of any man in the State? Intellectually, is he not equal to the position to which he aspires ? On the score of service, is he not worthy 1— Wherein is-he objectionable ? ~~ Let some ane answer. Some flippant, politician may any he can’t be elected ; therefore, a new man inuat be taken up. Mr. Sargent has received thirty-six votes. If no good objections can be brought against him, is it not easier to obtain fifteen votes more for him (the number-reqnisite for a nomination in caucus being fiftv-oneY than to pick a new man who ean command fifty-one votes with‘ What new man is there eo . popular as to be so eagerly voted fur ? The truth ts, there are too many men who desire a prominent part in making a Senator that they may have influence at court. "They . fear that should they come to the au pert of one of the candidates in the field at thee late day, that the old “stand-bys” would have su-. perior influence with the successful man.— ‘They are, therefore, looking fur anew man towards whom they may rank as first friends.

" "THe News.—We condense from the telesummary of Eastera news brought down to the 28th: Gen. Banks has found a hard job ‘jn attempting to take Port Hudson, and has demanded entrenching tools. The report.is that Galveston bas been strongly fortified by the rebels who number 7,000 under Magruder. Deserters report that Wise with 8,000 _ Gen. Grant is about to make and advance upon Vicksburg.

Windsor, and not, according to precedent, at the Chap#! Royal, St. James's. It is added that the Lord Chamberlain has received the Queen’s commands that the ceremony. shall be celebrated with the utmost magnificence.
