DEFALCATlON AND ARSON.

The people of Salinas, Monterey
county, California, hsve great sensa-
tion. The San Francisco Bulletin
publishes, in detail, an account OF the
circumstances connected with the
recent burning of the Court House
at that place, from which it appears
that defalcation of $4,000 to $780,.
600 has been discovered in the &C.
counts of the tax collector. Deputy
collector VIM. H. Rumsey is sup
posed to have gambled away most of
it, losing q portion to faro dealers,
but much more in private games of
poker with q number Of prominent
citizens, including several county
officials. 1t is also intimated that a
close ring exists, which has been
plundenng the county for years, and
detectives from San Francisco who
have been working up the case state
that the affair is the worst that ever
came under their notice, even the
courts seeming disposed to afford the
ring every opportunity to make out .
good case. The detectives believe
the court house was burnt for the
purpose of destroying evidence of
guilt. Popular indignation is very
high, and citizens of the better class
express a determination to sift the
matter to the bottom.

OUR NEXT PRESIDENT.


A new man will soon occupy the
White House. one untned in the high
Office to which be has been called,
but we have entire faith that be will
fully satisfy the conservative men OF
all parties, and that he will be found
possessed Of all the requisites Of an
able Executive. Much has been
written about his silence IN the cam
paign and during the period OF sus-
pense which followed that he was
in the hands Of a committee, the
leaders Of which would control his
administration ; that he was unknown
before his nomination, and that the
country would be hardly ruled it he
should succeed to the Presidency.
But most Of these adverse criticisms,
springing solely from parti1an feel
ing, are not sustained by facts, and
will lie contxoverted by experience at
no distant day, True, he has been
silent, but it is not considered polite
for Presidential candidate 10 be
constantly thrusting himself before
the people in letter, speech or news
paper interview. The indelicacy,
and even disadvantage, OF this course
has been illustrated by his COMPETE
tor. Mr.. Hayes had a splendid
record 10 the military service Of his
country, and in civil service he has
not been found wanting.
As to the general policy OF his
administration, we feel confident that
reform will be the ruling motive,
and that honesty aud capability will
be required of all who hold Office
under his appointment. Conserva-
tism will be evinced from the very
outset; no radical or absurd theories
will receive encouragement from him,
and quiet and prosperity will be
given to all sections Of our great
country. We confidently look for
one of the most hsppy and prosperous
sras that have ever marked our ma
fional existence; the country Is in a
condition to warrant this expectations
il only peace and honest government
is secured. Our financial condition
is improving every day ; specie re-
sumption will soon be practicable it
no violent legislation should hinder
and the production Of the country
was never greater. A period faood,
conservative policy on the part of the
federal administration will add i'm
petus to the progress Of the country,
and the results will be wonderful.
Encouraging laws will increase the
yield of our vast mining regions, the
cotton industry Of the South will
reach its former proportions, the
spindles and looms of the EAST will
be run to their fullest capacity, and
the gamers of the agricultural Sec
tions will overflow with grain to feed
half the world.
The policy of President Hayes is
outlined iu some of the dispatches
published in our columns to-day,
and we can safely predict that the
nation will never regret his accession
to the Presldenhal Office. That he
will prove to be one of the best ex-
ecutive officers the country has had
for many years, we feel assured. We
believe thAt he administration will
be so we'll liked by the people that
all the i'll feeling engendered by the
circumstances of recent date will be
forgotten; Rutherford ,. Hayes will
be triumphsutly re,elscted, and the
rule of the Republican party be in
definitely prolonged.

DEATH OF JOHN S. WALTON.

On Tuesday last, in New Orleans,
the estimable gentleman whose name
heads this article passed away from
the scenes of long, busy and useful
life, at the age of 81 years. 1t has
been our province in the course of
business during several years past, to
enjoy the personal acquaintance OF
Mr.. Walton, and we feel a melancholy
pleasure in adding our mite to the
general esteem in which he was held
by reason OF his sterling character and
genial qualities, exhibited in all the
relations of life. To the New Orleans
Picayune we are indebted for the brief
biographical sketch appended here
with:
The subject of this notice was born in
Newark, n j., May IL, 1909. His father
settled in New Orleans in 1876; since which
time Mr.. Walton has been a resident OF this
city. For some time previous to the year
1888, he was in the employment of the house
of Hill & Henderson. About that time the
firm of Henderson, Walton & Co. was es-
tablished. Mr.. Walton, however, left that
Ii ouse in 1886, and became a member OF the
house of Hall, Walker & Walton, afterward
Walton & Co, the largest hardware house
in the city, of which the house of Folger Il
Co. is successor. Mr.. Walton was for
many wears secretary and treasurer, and
the largest stakeholder of the Ocean Tow
boat Company He was appointed City
Treasurer by the military commander OF
the department. in 1862. In 1867 he was
appointed United States Sub-Treasurer by
President johnson, and served as admins
TRAITOR of Finance under Gov. Warmoth s
appointment in 1870. In 1863 he was elected
cashier of the Louisiana Savings Bank. lie
was held i'll the highest esteem by his ac
auaintances for business ability and integri-
ty. AS was evidenced by the numerous places
OF public and private trust i'll which he was
called upon to serve. He was IL respected
member of the Presbyterian church and one
of tho organizing members of the First Pres
hyterian Church i'll this city, subsequently,
! taking II prominent part in the organization
of the Third PresbyterianChurch.I In politics
| he was Il consistent Conservative Repuo-
| lican.
At the time of his death Mr.. Wal
ton still held the position of cashier
of the Louisiana Savings Bank, to
which, as above noted, he was elected
in 1869.

Governors Packard and Nichols
have each called for an extra session

cation of the former being for the
term of twenty days and the latter
fifteen. Gov. Packard specifies the
passage of an appropriation bill and
the election of United States Sem
ator as the matters which shall take
precedence Gov. Nichols includes
these in his cali and mentions several
others, among them educational and
revenue laws. The extra sessions be-
gan yesterday, the regular term hay-
ing expired Thursday night at IL
o'clock.

It is not probable that that most
excellent institution of learning, the
Straight University, will long be num-
bered with the things that were, but
will shortly arise from its ashes to
continue its noble mission. A meet
ing of influential friends Of the insti
tuition and the cause of education was
held in New Orleans last week, at
which measures for rebuilding the
University were discussed'in a man
ner that indicates the speedy success
of the project. Among the speakers
was Senator Landry of this district,
who was also appointed upon the
committee to draft resolutions express
sive of the sense of the meeting.
Straight University was one OF the
few institutions of learning where
colored students could pursue the
more advanced branches, and its per-
manent loss would be great misfor-
tune, particularly to the colored peo-
pie, but also to the whites, since it is
essential to the general welfare that
all classes should be educated.

In the face of Congressman DarralPs
letter to the Police Jury of Lafourche
parish, 10 which he expressly ac-
knowledges the benefits to be derived
from dredging Bayou Lafourche and
avows his intention to labor for an
appropriation for that purpose, we do
not see how the Thibodax Sentinel
can justify its conclusion that Mr..
Darrall has given up his promise to
aid in having Bayou Lafourche
dredged out and assumed the
initiative to have it closed at Donald
sonville." If it was the intention of
our Congressman to champion this
bayou closing scheme, he has since
thought better of it and virtually
abandoned the project, as his public
avowal, contained in the letter above
referred to, sufficiently demonstrates.

Hayes can net consistently refuse to
recognize Packard, inasmuch as his
own election was secured by the same
means and the same vote as those up
on which the claim of Mr.. Packard's
success is based. But this is essenti-
ally day of compromise and arbi-
tration, and results seemingly incon-
gruous and wholly unexpected are
liable to result therefrom, as our
Democratic friends will doubtless
abundantly testify, having in view
the Electoral Commission which has
just completed its functions.

Defeat of the Democratic Flibustsrers
in Congress.

On Tuesday the Electoral Commits
sion reached decision in the South
Carolina case-in which the Demo-
Gratis, contrary to our anticipation, of
fered obiections-and as was gener-
ally expected, the ruling was that the
vote of the State should be counted
for Hayes and Wheeler. In view OF
the conceded equity of the Republic
can case, it was believed that several
of the Democratic members of the
Commission would side with the ma
jority, but the vote stood just as it
has done upon all vital questions de-
cided by the tribunal-eight to seven.
Immediately upon the announce
ment of this decision, a minority OF
the Democrats in the House of Rep
resentatives, mastering 60 members,
began disgraceful series of filibus-
tering tactics, designed to prevent a
completion of the count before the
close of the session tonight, and pro-
ductive of scenes of turbulence and
riotous misbehavior in the halls OF
Congress sufficient to tinge the cheek
of every patriotic American citizen
with a hIuah of shama
But thanks to the Republican mem
bers of the Senate and House, aided
by law-abiding majority of Demo
Gratis composed mainly of Southern
men, the irreconcilables were routed
after long and bitter fight, described
by Washington telegraphic cores
pendent as " the stormiest debate ever
witnessed in the American Congress-
At the hour of 4 o'clock yesterday
