age, the State is under no obligation to
pay for them, and pay could no be col
lected for them in court. He would
throw away the moral aspects of the
case entirely and put it on this plain,
simple basis-if the State or its SER
wants had encouraged crime. Mr..
Cushing declared that whenever the
State or city had refused to furnish
liquors for its guests it had been raised
in the opinions Of the guests, and he
called upon Mr.. Hodges to state Gen.
eral Sherman's views on the matter.
Mr.. Hodges thereupon said that
| when General Sherman was entertain
ed by the city no liquors were furnish
ed, and there is q letter in existence
from General Sherman expressive OF
| his qualification at that fact.
Mr.. Cushing resumed his remarks
by declaring that he had it from the
intimate friends, not the enemies, of
President Grant, that there is danger
of Grants falling back into the condi-
ton he was in preceding the war. At
ter a little more debate the resolution
was adopted, and Messrs. II. d. Cush-
ing, J. w. Hodges and J. H. Roberts
were constituted the committee.

A LITTLE NIIISK Y BILL.

A Boston correspondent Of the New
York Herald gives the following ac-
count of the little matter of Grants
whisky bill at the Revere House. His
bar account at Viles' tavern has not
yet been handed in:
The inquiry of how much whisky
Gen. Grant and his party drank on the
occasion of his visit to the Concord and
Lexington c~entennials promises to be
an interesting and disturbing question.
At q meeting of the State Temperance
Alliance this afternoon, presided over
by Ex-Governor Trask, a MIR. II, ID.
Gushing stirred up the meeting by
offering a resolution to the effect that a
committee be appointed to ascertain
and report whether liquors were fur
nished by the State to its guests on the
occasion OF the Lexington and Concord
Centennial. Mr.. Cushing explained
that his reason. for offering the resolu-
ton was the fact that the newspapers
have published a bill, from the Revere
House, giving as one of the items in
the entertainment Of the President and
party over 800 for wines and cigars.
and thought the matter ought to be in
quired into. Il. w. Hodges suggested
that 1t might have been found neces-
sary to purchase a quart of liquor for
bathing purposes, and the rest of the
money might have been for cigars. If.
however, it was found on Investigation
! that the wines were used as q lever

POLITICS.

The New York World makes this
allusion to the political situation in
our neighboring State: "The third
party movement in California prom
ises to repeat the history of the third
party movement elsewhere, the his
tory of the fixing and flashing rock
ct and the falling stick. y AL
together, in California as in the other
States and in the Union, the expert
ence of the past warrants us in max
ing the prediction that in the future
the third pcrty will share the fate
and exert the influence of the man who
i~ntervenes between two locomotives
and undertakes to kick one and knock
the other off the track" To our mind
the illustrations of the World are hardy
ly applicable. The campaign is not
sufficiently advanced to determine the
status of the parties with absolute GER
tainty, but unless we are very greatly
mistaken the contest in California will
be between the Democrats and Inde-
pendents. When Sargent and Cor
ham and Carr assumed the leader ship
Of the Republican party, as they did
on their return from Washington,
they effeciually destroyed every hope
Of that organization in the approach
ing election. We do not mean to say
they are not as competent to lead as
any other equal number OF men in
California, but the masses are distrust-
full of them to a degree which renders
certain the failure of any political
movement with which they are promi-
nently identified. This was shown in
the recent action of the Young Mems
Republican club in San Francisco,
when they demanded the uncondition-
al surrender Of Gorham Il Co. The
manipulators declined to comply, and
and as a matter of course, widespread
~disaffection ensued. AS matters look
now from this distance, the Democrats
have only to stand up fairly to their
work to achieve a sweeping victory. By
the same token, we put the Republican
party down as third in the race.
