The fact that President Hayes is as unstable
in his opinions as March weather is evidenced
by the retention of Cornell in the custom
house at New York. 1t is charged that this
continuation in Office was made through fear
of the threatening attack upon Hayes policy,
at the approaching session of Congress, by Conk-
ling, of whom Corncll is the protege. Great
many of the New Workers favored the dsmis-
sion of this oilceholder in question from office,
while far fewer in number pleaded Cor his con-
tinuation.

Niles G. Parker, treasurer of South Caro-
lima under Republican rule, and now, with
number Of his associate officials in those days,
under indictment for plundering it, has con-
fesSed his completely, and implicated ex-Gov-
e-ner Chamberlain rs cognizant of the frauds
then perpetrated, as framing the bills that
made those frauds possible, AMI as sharing in
the spois. Mr.. Parker fed from South Caro-
lima about two years ago, being then under a
cloud. lie has since resided in Jersey City,
N. j., where, if his own statement is to be be-
lieved, he has been trying to live the life of an
honest man. He does not deny that he was q
party to the rascalities with which he and his
associates stand charged, and states that he is
willing to make restitution of any monies be
may have appropriated. But, he says, he had
warrant Of law for what he expended, there
fore doubts il any official malfeasance can be
proved against him. 1t is consoling to know
that Mr.. Parker expresses his profound regret
at having fallen into such bad company as
that Of ex-Governors Scott, Moses aud Cham
berlain and those other choice companions Of
theirs-Patterson, Kimpton, Cardoza & Co.

Letter from California

DELANo, Cal, April "a 1877.
To the Editors of The Argus:
Having. since my last letter, travelled
some, | take this opportunity of writing
you once more. | have been through the
San Joaquin Valley, aud almost every
ranch | passed in my hundred miles
through it, looked as if Shermans bum
mers had just passed and plurdered every
place. | found hundreds of sheep dead
in their coral, and the houses looked as
ii the people had left in hurry-all for
want of rain, there being none this season.
l left the valley at Tulare Lake, and took
the new southern Pacific Railroad as far
as Baker field, about $50 miles north of
Los Ang lies. Bakersfield is about the
hardest place in California. 1t is the
harbOr for all the cattle and horse thieves
and at one tune was the headquarters of
VasquezS notorious band. The inhabi-
tauts are a conglomeration of people from
all parts of the world. The regard for
human life is very little, and murderer
is considered hero. From this place |
went to the mountains. and thence to Los
Angeles. This is very pretty place, with
its numerous orange groves. The Southern
Pacific Railroad is building large shops
here, and should Tom Scott aud this
company compromise and connect the
Texas Pacific and the Southern Pacific
roads in New Mexico it will help this place
very much. From Los Angeles | came
to this place-and will go 20 Sacramento il
few days.
