SARGENT AND COMPANY OUR
ONLY SALVATION.

We are inclined to think that in
Senator sargent's recent effort at oratory
In San Francisco. his zeal got somewhat
the best Of his sober judgment. With
that part OF his address pertaining to q
defense OF his own political action
which Il seems oil the great lights deem
necessary to make--we have nothing to
do. His earnestly expressed desire to be
released from the cares OF Office like his
political idol Grdnt. we must take for
what il Is worth. His assumption Of the
role Of IAN old man broken with the
storms Of State 4" is good idea, but the
effect Of that portion OF his address is
marred considerably by the reflection
that this seems to be tho strong suit oil
all that party just now. II has been
prevalent complaint with the "dod and
morality side of the house ever since
last November, and It's just possible the
unappreciative public will take them at
their word. His keen appreciation OF
the relation subsisting between cause
and effect is rendered apparent by the
intimate connection he portrays between
Grant being President and the public
debt being reduced 80 rapidly. OF course
some persons may suggest that the re-
duc,ion OF the public debt is due to the
general prosperity Of the country, and
the indomitable industry and persever-
ance Of the people. but such arguments
evince total ignorance OF the financial
abilities of the President, and in Senator
Sargent's opinion as expressed are un-
worthy OF consideration. But II is where
he waves the bloody shirt and in hoarse
clamors seeks to infame tho passions
and prejudices Of his hearers that be be-
comes eloquent. With violent hand he
attempts to tear open the partly healed
wounds OF our unfortunate country, and
with vindictiveness totally at variance
with his implied desire to step
down and out. he rakes up
incidents and occurrences that have
been discussed and explained over
and over again, some Of them acknowl-
edged by the originators to DO pure fabri-
cations. He draws gloomy picture OF
the political condition of the South, but
is careful to say nothing OF the accursed
carpet bagger's rule that has been so
instrumental in producing that deplora-
BILE state OF affairs. In the course Of this
portion OF his remarkable effort he says
