rhs California senators.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Portland Mel Press draws this com
psrison between tho two Senators from
California: "Among all the gentlemen
filing those Senatorial chairs there Is
NOT one attracting more attention than
tho bachelor from California, Senator
Booth. His erect figure ana dlgni1ed
arriage give him an air OF distinction I;
his perfect complexion, soft brown mar,
and pleasant smile make him decidedly
handsome, and then If You know him
you will find him an added charm in
the low rich voice and courtly manners
which arc so eminently his own. He
makes but few speeches, and those
few carry weight. and ,.e commands
adegree of pleased attention which is
never awarded to his colleague Senator
SARGENT Senator Booth rises quietly
and stands easily; he never hurries In
speech or manner, but Senator Sargent
occupies his chair under protest; ne is
never happy unless he is on. his feet,
but while citing he restlessly watches
for an opportunity to speak, ana even
while writing YOU can see his ears are
alert to catch any excuse for dashing OIL
bis eyeglasses, and spring up like a
jack-in- the-box. Then he always snarls
and aggravates; there isn't bit or
calmness In his disposition, In the phy-
steal or mental he brushes his hair the
wrong way, and he rubs against every
body's pet prejudices, while his words
tumble out in such haste that all MS
speech is a sputter." 0f.asf

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
The Liability Of Banks for Deposits
stolen from their Vaults.

BALTIMORE, March 2.-The Court OF
Appeals Of Maryland yesterday affirmed
the judgment Of Judge Miller, in the
Circuit Court OF Howard county, in
the case Of VIM. A. Boyd, Of Baltimore,
against the Third National Bank.
This suit originated upon the refusal OF
the bank to deliver Mr.. Boyd United
States and other bonds to the amount OF
$26, 500, which had been deposited with
the bank under receipt as general col
lateral. The bank was robbed in Aug
ust, 1872, ond lost over $I0O, 900 in money
and convertible stock, among which
were the bonds OF Mr.. Boyd. The bank
contended that it had used as much and
as due diligence in the care
and keeping Of Mr.. Boyd's Sc
curities as they did Of their own,
and were theodore not liable. The
case was first tried in May, 1873, in the
Superior Court OF Baltimore city, in
which there was q great display OF OK.
pert knowledge in safes and vaults. and
the Jury failed to agree. The case was
then removed to Howard county, and
another trial took place in September,
1874, at EIlicott city, where judgment
was rendered in favor OF Mr.. Boyd. The
bank appealed, and now the case has
been decided also in his favor by that
tribunal. The premium upon the bonds,
together with the interest, will amount
70 over $3.50, 900,

REDPATH ON THE WAR PATH.
Butler to COerce the south and stop that
Terrible Mob Law.

From the Louisville Courier-Journall
, Mr.. James Redpath, the Red kepub..
lean, bursts forth in a perfect blaze OF
loyalty" through the columns OF the
Washington Republican, and, after light
lytouching upon the Belknap matter,
and reminding its readers that General
Grant saved the republic, ;" he announces
mat neither Belknap nor the Republican
party has disgraced the republic,
and the president should at once
urn his attention to the terri
ole mob law which exists in
Inc South" and appoint General Benja-
Mln +. Butler to the position OF Secre-
AIRY Of War, that the Southern States
nay be coerced into obedience, etc.
hedpath has doubtless wept profusely
S'er the appointments OF Judge Taft, who
s.not likely to adopt the Butlerism sys-
ZEN OF Union saving" He will doubt
,ess soon be brought to a sudden reali-
M aa Of the fact that the Republican
pnrty has been compelled to drop the
moody shirt and other fancy political
,aaneuyering and hasten to save itself
n u. shipwreck. Mr.. Redpath should
~ obstruct the flight Of his political
;niends. Even Morton is concealing his
'aVorite garment.

WHO DID TIP
Non. Holster Clymer struck the Fatal
BlWw.
from the New York SUM-


Blow.
from the New York SUM-
Several persons have thrust themselves
forward to claim the credit Of having in
itiated the investigation OF Belknap'ss
thievery. The agent OF the Associated
Press at Washington sent out long
story the day after the exposure, at
tributing 1t to one G.. o. Armes, OF that
CITY. 1t so happens that the inform.
alton in this case was in the hands OF
the Hon. Hester Clymer six weeks be-
fore the explosion, and long before any
of these parties were heard OF. 1t was
to proceed cautiously, ana
to be sure Of the facts and OF the wit
nesses in advance Of any demonstration.
Mr. Clymer performed all this service
and with what degree OF pru-
dence and success the country now
knows. When the time came to strike,
was complete, and only re-
ouired the signal for consummatlon.
Armes and other pretenders had moth
ing to do with the investigation IN any
manner or form, and some OF them were
suspected, with good reason, OF having
been hired to mislead the committee. !.
To Mr.. Clymer belongs the merit OF
having uprooted this great scandal and
struck a fatal blow at Grantlsm. ne
managed it with consummate skill,
guarded his secret we'll, and must not
be disparaged by interlopers, who never
had his confidence for moment, and
were seeking to blackmail both sides.

"uONEsT REPUBLICANS"
Can they Longer Continue their Rela
lions with such n Party?

/ from the Albany August
The New York Times, editorially, says
that
"Honest Republicans are deeply stung
by the disgrace which has come upon
the Administration put and kept in
power by their votes. They are indig-
inant as we'll as ashamed, and they will
fall far short Of their duty to themselves
and to their country, il they do not give
fion. They have too long submitted,
Isfor the sake OF the party to the domi-
nation of men who have nothing but
their control OF party machinery to
commend them"
"Honest Republicans" have been
warned for years to leave the Republican
party, which has long been an organiza-
ton for fostering and protecting corrup-
ton. Why did not "honest Republi--
cans" leave the party when Chase, and
Sumner, and Greeley and other great
LEADERS were kicked out OF IL 10 give
greater prominence to Chandler, and
Cameron, and Morton, and Schenck,
and Carpenter, and Conkling? Vice
President Wilson was barely tolerated !;
and had he lived would have been
denied further prominence in the coun-
ellis of the party. Seward was forsaken,
and Adams is sneered at as an old fogy.
The great men-the pure men Of the
partyohave been thrown overheard to
give place to the camp followers OF
Grant.
The Times says: Honest Repub-
licans are deeply stungo at these revela-
tions. That may be. But why did not
'honest Republicans" long ago leave q
party which could deliberately and
cooliy discard its great and honest lead
ers, and which to-day gives its most
honorable positions to tainted men?
The Times further says: eve have
tolerated too lax standard OF official
conduct" No, not tolerated, but en-
couraqed 1t. The Republican United
States Senate deposed Sumner and put
Cameron in his place at the head OF the
Foreign Affairs committee. 1t made
Matt. Carpenter president, pro tenn, OF
the Senate after the people had con-
demned him. Schenck is still Minister to
England, notwithstanding the disgrace
has brought upon the country. Zach
Chandler is a member OF the Cabinet,
and so is Robson. Grant accepts Bel
knap's resignation with great regret, !"
and Pierrepont contriyes to defeat the
ends of justice by securing the acquit-
tai of Babcock! -
These things are not new. they nave
been going on for years-Credit Mobl-
lier frauds and all. A Democratic Con-
gress will give the people more facts
soon.
Can "honest Republicans" longer con.
tinue their relations with such party?
