Governor Rooth In Answer 20 Chas. Sumner.
From the San Francisco Chronicle, June 2oth.l
The Hon. Charles Sumner, in a few
hours speech in the Senate of the United
State, arraigned Grant for his many politi-
cal offences. The following brief extract
from Governor Booths address at the
Grant ratification meeting is a complete
answer to all the charges made. 1t il so
concisely and elegantly done that it will
bear reproducing:
No man in public life has ever been sub
jected to closer scrutiny or more exacting
criticism than General Grant. He has been
attacked with every device of oratory,
from Homeric periods, Greek epigrams, and
learned display, down to the enumeration
of horses and cigars, and the coarsest vitu-
peration. Proverbially the most silent of
public men, he is charged with being quar-
relsome. Allowing no policy but the pub
lie will, he is charged with Csesarism. The
first President to recognize the political
and civil equality of our citizens, he is
charged with a supercilious unfriendli-
ness to the African race. Earnestly urg-
ing the measures necessary to reform the
civil service; he is charged with obstruct-
ing it. So moderate in the use of extra
ordinary powers as to make us forget he
possesses them, he is charged with tyranny.
His own and his wife's relatives canvassed
to forty-second cousins and their cousins to
the fifth degree, and because thirteen
are said to be found in the blue book of thirty
thousand names, from the list Of
tide-waiters up, he is compared to
Alexander and the Borgias. Re-
ducing the army to a minimum he is
charged with subverting civil by mill
tary rule. Presiding over a nation Qe so
lately signally helped to redeem from the
horrors Of a civil war, now marvelously
peaceful and happy, he is charged with be-
ing the Anarch of Discord and Prince OF
Confusion. These charges are made with
! all the pomp of Summers declaration and

General Allan Rutherford, Third

SUDDEN DEATH o A YOUNG LADY.
Miss Euglnia Staples, second daughter of
the tRev. NJ. w. Staples, secretary Of the
Virginia Bible Society, died suddenly this
morning about two o'clock, at the resi-
dence of her parents, on Broad street, Sec
ond door from the Methodist church, of
heart disease. The young lady and her
sister had been at the window in the third
story Of the building watching the progress
of the fire at Mayo's tobacco factory, and
after leaving the widow passed to her room
on the floor below, when she was suddenly
attacked with the dreadful disease to which
she had long been q victim. Word was
Immediately sent to her father that she was
i'll and wanted medicine. When Mr.. Sta
Piles entered the room, she said 80, father,
| am dying" and expired almost immedi-
ately. Physicians were summoned as
quickly as possible after the attack, but
death came SO suddenly as to render human
aid unayailing.
Miss Eugene Staples was a young lady
of grace, culture, and refinement, and
a general ~fayorite wherever known. She
was in perfect health up to a few moments
before her death. Rising at at unusual
hour in the night, and probably becoming
somewhat excited in consequence Of the
fire which was raging in another part ofthe
city at the time, may have aided in bring
ing on the attack. Her death has thrown
a devoted family and a large circle of
friends into the deepest sorrow. She was
a member Of DR.. Hoge's Second Presbyte-
rian church, and was about eighteen years
of age. Her funeral will take place from
the church at six o'clock tomorrow even
ing, and the friends and acquaintance are
invited to attend.
The family have not long resided in Rich
mond. They are originally from the State
Of New York, we believe, but spent sew
cral years in Texas, prior to their renewal
