GONE TO HIS POST OF DUTY.
From the Sacramento Bee Of MOnday.l

From the Sacramento Bee Of Monday.l
Congressman Axtell Incumbent and
elect) WAS in town yesterday on his way
overland to Washington. He left on the
cars this morning in company with his
son, a young man, and some friends,
who will travel with him to the end of
the Pacific Railroad and then return to
their duties. Mr.. Axlell goes this way
now mainly, If not solely, for the pur-
pose Of executing an errand Of kind
ness for n family Of his acquaintance in
the East. There is q son here-an only
son, we believe-whom parents and sis
tiers want at home, where there is
enough for him to enjoy and be happy.
He came here with high hopes, but has
not succeeded so well rs he expected,
aud is, rs it were, ashamed to go back.
Neither family nor friends could by let
ter prevail upon him to return, and Ak
tell imposed upon himself the duty Of
seeing him personally. He had traced
him hither and thither until at last he
found his whereabouts high up in the
Sierras, and there he went to meet him,
the engagement having been made in
the name of another. He
speaks highly Of Grant, and thinks he
will make q most excellent President,
and that his administration will bring
both peace and plenty to the South; for
the ultras there seeing how the nation
has declared against them, and know
ing the President they have to deal
with, will readily conform to the situa-
ton. He himself accepts it fully, and
will do the best he can without cap
tiousness or ~frivolity TO carry out the
will Of the people and enhance the pro-
gress and greatness of the whole coun-
try. He will sustain the incoming ad-
m~inistration in all just things, and will
oppose it, if at all, conscientiously and
in no mean partisan spirit.
Axtell, we find, was an carly resident
of this city. He came here as a lawyer
in 1852, but having no books, and want
ing none for himself and family he left
at home depending on him for support,
he applied to George Rowland and n.
A. H. Ball, who were then q committee
having charge Of the leyee, and they
gave him a shovel and set him to work
in the mud and water. And he worked
like u man determined to carr his living
at something while they had employ
meut there for him, and then he took a
job, with spade and w%heelbarrow, from
Rowland, to clear of the rubbish from
some lots in this city. He called yester-
day on Mr.. Rowland to thank him for
that work, and for the in which
he then treated him, and said to us that
he was prouder of the FIRST twenty-five
dollars he earned upon our levees than
of any thousand he earned since, for he
wanted it more then than at any other
time. Axtell seems to be, and we think
he is, a plaiu.spoken, wholc-souled,
generous, grateful man, and n truthful
politician. Next to Pixley, his re-
election should give satisfaction to all
loyal mentor he has not bowed the
knee to treason, but has denounced it,
and does yet deuounce it, in plain Eng
lish.

having lost, promptly and cheerfully
gave up the money. The example is a

The advice Of q Democratic organ in
Washington to all the defeated Demo-
cratic candidates for Congress to con-
test the election Of the Republican mem
bers, because Congress will pay the ex-
peuseS, is of q nature which, when
taken, should be well shaken The
prescription would be q very agreeable
medicine for the defeated parties, and
really render the amusement OF contest
ing an election to some of them a pay
ing operation. To have a chance Of
living at Washington several months,
with opportunity Of receiving Congress-
mems pay and mileage, is what tho
most Of them desired, and by this plan
they might be partially successful, even
il they had been entirely defeated. But
there might be some difficulty in the
way, Notwithstanding. Congress has
hitherto made allowance to unsuccess-
full contestants, not as n matter of right,
but because it was agreed that they had

OFFENCE consists, in their eyes, not In
the sacraice of human life which was
involved in the campaign, but in the
painful termination of the campaign
itself. 1t was the wrong army that was
paroled. If auy hon est vote could have
been taken in the New 4 orR Convention
on the question which of the two clrcum-
stances Was the more deplorable, which of
the two rendered General Grant the most
acceptable to them-the losses of the
Union army or the capture OF the rebel
army-four fifths of the delegates would
have voted that the latter was by far
the more aggravating and iEtolerable.
We have shown in a previous article
from the official field returns that at the
beginning of the campaign General Lee
had 72,2lS men present for duty; that
Gen. Grant nad 9S. JIG; that with the
exception of the two days fighting In the
Wilderness, Lee fought on the defensive
behind entertainments, while Grant
fought on the offensive in the open field.
That at the end of the campaign, Gene
raj Grant had lost 80, 259in killed wocnd-
ed and missing, while Lee had lost his
entire force. The superior generalship OF
Lee consisted in his getting rid OF 81, $50
more men behind breastworks than Grant
did in the open field, and in taking his
Individual parole not to bear arms against
the United States
1t is deeply to be regretted that the re-
belion could not have been overthrown
with less loss of life on our side 1t is
still more to be regretted that there was
any rebellion to overthrow. But taking
the facts as they existed in the spring
Of 1864. bearing in mind that Lees
army had never up to that time been
thoroughly humbled that it embraced
the flower Of the Confederate forces that
il was in its own estimation invincible
that it was superbly disciplined and Off
cered; that it was operating upon itsown
ground that it fully appreciated its re-
sponsibilities and that its mode of fight
ing was for the most part detensive-who
is bold enough to say that Gen. Grant 5
losses were too great for the results which
he accomplished. There standss.sthe fact
that the flag went down and the Confed-
eracy disappeared in its last ditch. Write
this upon one line, and then write upon
another that the price paid for it was too
