dated Washington, June I, says: George
c. Gorham. the new Secretary of the |. S.
Senate, was sworn in yesterday, and entered
upon the discharge of his duties. On taking
charge OF the office yesterday, he made a
speech to the clerks, telling them that he
contemplated no change, as he found them
all to be experienced, competent officers, and
the machinery of the Office was in excellent
running condition. Shonld it get rusty he
might need to make repair s. Colonel For
ney, who has taken great pains to give his
successor every facility in entering upon his
duties, was present to see him indicted into
his Official duty. The only vacancy in office
is that of Financial Clerk, and Mr.. Gorham
has not vet signited whom he will place in
that position. Those having business at the
Office will be glad to learn that
the new Secretary does not contemplate

In 1865, the New York World, leading
Democratic organ, said:
OF the steadiness and staunchness OF
General Grants patriotism, or the upright
ness and solidity of his character. no man
in the country doubts or affects to doubt. =
On the score of loyalty and solid public SER
vices, no man in the country can come into
competition with this illustrious soldier.
The Presidency can be nothing to him ne
has more valuable Office. But if, in the
hands of Providence, he could be an instru-
ment for tran9uilizing the country, that is
on honor for which he could afford to sac
riice ease, congenial pursuits and the pos
sibilities of still greater fame as soldier.
As Washington was slected and reelected
on the strength of his character and servi-
ces, without pledges either asked or given,
we trust that Grant will be elected in the
same way. Having restored the authority
of Government, we hope he may add the
highest civic to to the highest military fame
by restoring long-lost cordially of feeling.
The New Yoak World in 1868 says;
Nobody is hardy enough to claim civil
capacity for General Grant. Out Of the
army he has only been a bankrupt farmer,
taciturn tanner and hard drinker. His lit
erary abilities were insufficient to secure
him copyists' stool in the office Of the
Prothonotary Of St. Louis in 1854.
His most exaggerating praisers dare not
aver his instability to be less than his OBJ
tuscness. In politics he has ALWAYS taken
up with the minds that mastered him.
During and after the Mexican war General
Harvey took pity on Lieutenant Grant. then
the butt of every ones joke, and used to
demonstrate with him on his wild courses.
At that time General Grant was States
right Democrat because Harvey was, whose
influence was sufficient to mold the opinions
but could not restrain the appetite Of the
ductile young man"

THELAw OF SEDUCTION IN ENGLAND.-
It has often been declared by the ablest
Judges that the present action for seduction
is disgrace to our law. Still, Judges and
LAWYERS know that an action for seduction
lies only when it is brought by the master Of
a servant or BY father whose daughter has
acted as his servant. The injury is supposed
to be done to the master, who has, during
certain period. lost the services to which he
is entitled. No injury is supposed to be done
to the girl or to her character. We remem-
Der an action being brought by father
against man who had taken the daughter
into his service, gained an influence over her,
and seduced her IN the most disgracefnl man
ner. The action failed because the girl had
not been her fathers servant but the servant
of the defendant. This was perhaps one of
the grossest cases that could be brought IN
a Court of justice. But it had to be brought
there It the expense of the injured party.

ATTACKED BY INDIANS. - We received
this morning the following letter from John
Collins, dated Silver City, Idaho, June 10th :
\ party of five of US were prospecting about
one hundred miles north of the Humboldt
river and sixty miles east of the Idaho stage
road. We were attacked by Indians in the
night, who stampeded three horses belong
ing TO a man named Wilson. He ran after
the horses, and that was the last we saw of
him. We had only time to jump on our
horses and leave without saddles, blankets,
or grub. We lost everything. We returned
next morning, but the Indians had taken
everything and left. We tracked Wilson
about three miles to a creek, where we lost
all trace OF him. He was well arIned-hav
ing a Henry rife, revolver and knife. He
lived in Nevada, and | think he told me he
had worked either AT Egan Canon or Pah-
l believe he had friends or rela
tives in California, as he told me he inten
ded to go there next Winter. The number
of Indians that attacked US, as near as we
cou I'd Judge, was twenty five, and we believe
Wilson must have been killed by them, or
we should have heard of HIM before this.
II any of the boys of your city think Of com
ing here, Just tell them it is the meanest
place on the Coast. Very little doing, only
big talk of what they will do in little while.
Greenbacks are all the go here. Men are
hired at coin rates and paid off in green
backs at eighty cents. As soon as we can
raise few dollars we shall return to Austin.

New STATE-SoUTHERS CALIFORNIA.-
The Los Angeles News of the 10Th says :;
The proposition to divide the State Of Cali
fornia is growing in favor every day, and it
is now only a question of time when the di-
vision will be accomplished. II Is proposed
to divide on the southern line Of Fresno and
Monterey counties, and this would give two
States, each of which would have an area
equal TO the whole of New England. Popu
laJion is flowing rapidly into southern Cali
fornia, and in few wears the preponcerance
would be III her f-vOr. The great tlstaI &c to
Sacramento and TO San Francisco, with the
meager means of communication, partlcu-
larlv isolates our people, and imposes
grievous burden upon them. But few
wears VIII pass ere we have at least a branch
OF the Southern Pacific roads tapping the
main trunk at Point of Rocks, or some fea-
,si5le point on the Mojave river, and con-
Meeting with the ocean through the fertile
valleys of San Bernardino and Los Angeles
Los Angeles will be the conceded Capital of
southern California. Public men will be
called upon at an early day to take ground
upon this question, though we do not expect
any serious opposition to the plan from any
source Politically, the Pacific Coast should
have her just weight in the United States
Senate.

Fiendi.n Outrage In kentucky.

The War Department has received q
letter from Breckenridge County, KY,
giving an account of most horrible out
rage attempted upon the inmates of one
of the largest colored schools In that
County. 1t appears that the teacher
proposed to have an exhibition on Chriat-
mas Eve. She was warned that 1t would
not he permitted, but refused to believe
that the rebels would carry their Threats
into execution, and went on with her
preparations. The exhibition was finally
held in ono of the colored churches,
which was packed with friends OF the
school and Che children. Within few
minutes afterythe exercises closed, but
not till the people had left, the church
was blown to pieces by the explosion OF
a keg of powder, which had been placed
under the platform on which the chill
dren were seated, and probably fired with
a slow match. An explosion during the
exhibition would have !. destroyed the
whole crowd.
The Democratic party has n majority
of 90, 900 in Kentucky, and the spirit dis
played In the above fiendish action Is
almost equal to that manifested by the
Democrats of New York during the draft
riots, when the colored childrens' Asy
ium was burned.

When Sheridan was hoy of only five
years old, he betrayed the traits of the
future cavalry commander. He was
lifted by some other boys, in pure mis-
chief, ON the back of a very vicious
horse, without saddle or bride. Away
the steed started, leaped over fence into
the road, and ran at tremendous speed
for several miles. "Little Phil" clung
firmly TO the horses name, until the ami
NAL suddenly turned into the shed of a
tavern, where Its owner had often stop
ped in his travel. Men came out, looked
ut the foaming horse, without saddle or
bride, then at the boy on his back, and
then one, said 10 the unterrified Phil.
"Who learned you to rider

The Campaign Of 1908.

Hon. Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts,
has written a two column article for the
N. Y. Independent in favor of General
Grant for President, of which the fol-
lowing Is the concluding paragraph:
Upon the Republicans in Congress
rest the most mighty responsibilities. If
they infiexibly adhere to the policy of
equal Justice to all, and wisely legislate
on the nptional debt, the currency, taxa
ton and expenditures, 1t will be In the
power of the Republican party to win
victory grander far than the decisive
victory Of 1854. 1t can give Gen. Grant
three millions of votes; the votes of
thirty, possibly thirty-two, of the States;
and House of Representatives with
one hundred majority. With Gen. Grant
in the Executive Chair, supported by the
suffrages of three millions of loyal and
liberty loving freemen, by the electoral
votes of three-fourths of the States, and
decisive majOrities In both houses of Con-
gress, the bitter spirit of disloyalty will
die out, loyalty will assume its sway,
the spirit of liberty and the sense Of jus
tice will accord to all men equality OF
rights, and the wicked cries of negro
supremacy, 1.-THE white mans govern
ment, "the war of races, will be awed
and shamed into silence. Then liberty
and justice to all, and equal protection
for all, will be the fixed policy OF the
Government and the settled practice OF
the people; and, the nation having de-
creed liberty and justice, will move on,
blessed and applauded, to the accomplish
ment of Its high destiny.
