GORHAM ON THE SITUATION IN san
FRANCISCO.

In the San Francisco Bulletin of July 10th
appears the following letter from Hon. Geo.
c. Gorham:
Editor Bulletin: In your leading editorial
of this date you assert that the recent strug.
giles in the Republican County Committee
have been between two lobby factions, and,
after stating that one of these factions Is led
by Higgins, Cannon, Chute and others you
say: "On the other side Carr and Gorham
hold the fort; and being on the inside, and
strongly intrenched, they will blow it up be
fore they will surrender" You also class
Mr.. Carr and myself among those who ''are
ready to destroy the Republican party if they
cannot use it for their own selfish ends"
You have made these statements under the
belief, no doubt, that the majority OF the
County Committee were determined either to
rule or ruin. But they had no such purpose,
and have simply used their power TO prevent
the minority from either ruling or running
What has been donel BY a vote of fourteen
to eleven a committee of FIVE, consisting of
one from each Senatorial District, has been
appointed to designate the polling places and
the officers of the primary election. Has this
Committee abused its powers Has it acted
in the interest of any faction or any candi-
date! 1t has not yet taken any action what
ever. 1t was proposed at first mot by the
Bulletin) that Messrs. Sargent, Estee and
Miller should name the election boards, but
the suggestion was Indignantly spurned by
the minority Of the Committee, and finally
abandoned because two of the gentlemen
named declared against it III interviews pub
lished in the Chronicle. You say ''it cannot
be possible that these men want other than
an honest primary" So thought majority
of the Committee, and it is well known fact
that they were only prevented from carrying
out the plan you approve so highly, by the
Of Messrs. Estee and Miller to
act in the premises. The question remained
whether the majority or minority should pre-
vail The Tenth Senatorial District is almost
certainly Republican The whole five of the |
committeeman from that district were Of the |
minority, and seemed struggling to promote
the interests of a single aspirant. They de- |
manded the right to name two of the three |
election officers in every precinct of that dis
trict, including as it does the Third and Fifth |
Wards. The majority Qourteen) refused this
demand, and the minority (eleven) bolted. I
do not believe that the Republican voters of
this city feel outraged because eleven votes
could not prevail against fourteen, to give
Higgins, Chute Il Co. the naming of two to
me of the election officers in the Tenth Dis

mainder.
The County Committee is the only author
lied representative of the Republican party
of San Francisco There is no division, no
split. Now as to the future. You are en-
tirely mistaken in your assumption that the
majority, or any friends with whom they con-
suit, are seeking to serve personal ends. |
assure you | can see no way in which L can
be helped or harmed by the result. l have
no personal interest whatever in the issue.
As to Mr.. Carr, he has taken no active part
having been engaged in the prosecution of a
member of the ring which rules the minority,
for various felonies alleged to have been COM
mitted by him. q am warranted in this al
fusion by the fact that George NJ. Pinney, in
his cell in the County Jail, sought aid for the
minority, on the ground that if he could help
them certain men would return the favor by
assisting to keep him out of the penitentiary.
Mr.. Sargent is prominently before the State
as a candidate for the Senate, but his enemies
havo caused the constant mention of his name,
not his friends | know his desire is Repub-
lican success. | have no other end in view.
You cannot hurry too many honest men to
the front to suit us. You are entirely right
IN insisting on legislative nominees being un-
pledged, and the concurrence in any action
of earnest and prominent Republicans
From my knowledge of the character of the
men composing the County Committee be-
lieve they mean right, and viii wait for coun-
sci and aid in that direction. But think it
will not look to Higgins, Cannon, Chute &
Co. for guidance and support. There is
abundant time for calm and decent work.
hope the Senatorial question will be thrust
clear out of sight.
By whatever method it can be reached q
Convention of our best Republicans ought to
be created, and ticket of unpledged men of
high character be selected. In this good work
have no doubt the County Committee will
act with honesty, and will heed the will of
the best elements of the party, if they can be
advised of their wishes. No man or men hold
any fort in the Committee. Let the men
most trusted by the community indicate a
plan, and | do believe you will not find any
selfish interests or any other influences pre-
venting the Committee from ready acquies-
cence in it. Very respectfully,
GEORGE c. GoRHAM

DR.. Schliemann narrates that, when boy,
ne dreamed of the number Ill ,641. Not
devoid of superstition, he wrote to Berlin,
and enclosed ten thalers. to be invested in
this number in the coming lottery. As Ill,
64l had already been taken, another number
WAS sent in its place. Schliemann lost his
ten, thalers, while the figures of his dream
drew the great prize of 100, 600 thalers.
Those of our readers who read the account
of Mrs Wordsworth in the MORNING APPEAL
of yesterday are aware that she speaks of "the
sweet face of my vision on the island" In
her sons account he relates the following
"a curious thing happened to my mother on
the 1st of November. She was sitting by the
fire when she said she saw woman's face
and head appear. 1t was beautiful face
pale complexion and dark eyes, with q kerchief
tied over the head, under the chin. 1t smiled
kindly to her and slowly faded away. l told
some of them about it, and it was soon all
over the island; but the curious thing of it is
that Captain Gifiord's young wife, g most
gentle, kind lady, when she leaned over the
ships side, saying good bye to my mother as
the vision on the island, even to the kerchief
tied under her chin" In Mrs. Wordworth's
relation she makes the following statement 4:
Zone morning, the 21st of January, awoke
quite cheerful and bright, saying Charlie
I've seen the ship 1--WE never dreamt of any but
the one that was TO take us off, In the
afternoon, as Charlie went out of our little
shanty he shouted sail ho'! and Immediately
ran toward the flag staff 1t is needless to
say that this sail was that of the ship that
rescued them. So it would seem that both
the vision and the dream of this good woman
came true. Such statements make one think
that Hamlet limited at truth when he re
marked to his closest friend, "There are
more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
than are dreamt of in your philosophy"
Certainly these realized visions are not ex-
planned by any philosophy or science to which
we have yet attained.

NEW HAMHSHIRE'S VERDICT on
HAYES.

Concord, n. H., July 19,-The Committee
OH National Affairs, in the Legislature, pre-
scented majority and minority reports yester-
day Tho majority report sets forth that
Hayes was elected President by the people,
and SO declared by the Electoral College, and
that any movement to reopen the question
would be both mischievous and contrary to
the public interests, etc. The minority
report indorses the withdrawal Of the troops
from South Carolina and Louisiana, and ap-
proves the Presidents course, etc. The
majority report was adopted. Press dispatch.
Exactly The position of the MORNING
APPEAL could not be better indicated than in
this manner of treating it. The Republicans
of the New Hampshire Legislature claim, as
we claim, that Hayes was fairly elected But
they decline to endorse his policy. On the
other hand, the Democrats say he holds his
office by fraud, but that they approve his
policy. They understand the politics of the
situation, do the Black Republicans Of the

The strikes and consequent riots in the
East are assuming almost the proportions of
civil war. The State of West Virginia
seems to be quite unable to cope with the
trouble, at all; and even the proclamation of
the President and the presence of Federal
troops at the scene of disturbance has had no
effect other than to unite the strikers the
more firmly and strengthen their determine
ton. And what is the more serious phase of
the matter is the wide spread of the disaffec-
ton 1t is now finding its way into the vast
railway system of Pennsylvania and is said to
be felt as far west as Chicago 1t begins to
look as if the entire system of railways east of
the Mississippi was about to be subjected to
the dangers of general instruction. The
situation is very serious one The railway
companies themselves must be prepared to
answer the question, Is there any just cause
for this far-extending revolt among their en-
ployeesl Have not these companies, taking
an undue advantage of the depressed condi-
ton of the money market, attempted to force
their employees to take starvation wages
There must be something wrong; and fair
compromise would seem to be in order.

Says the Reveille, in one of its Ger truth
FIJI moods:
A pigeon, foragng for grub on Main street
this morning, devoured SO many grasshoppers
that when it had finished it's meal and assayed
to fly to its cote, it found itself in the condi-
ton of Mark Twains jumping frog of GALAXY
eras-weighted to the ground 1t was 50
heavy with grasshoppers that its wings were
powerless to raise it from the ground. DIR.
Sheridan administered an emetic to the
stricken bird, but gave too large dose, and
it viii never fly again in this world.

JOINING THE REPUDIATORS.

And these have called themselves defenders
of the public faith! The Cincinnati Gazette,
which calls for the repeal of the date of re-
sumption The Chicago Tribune, which declares
that resumption is impossible under the act OF
1875. What a blessed thing it is that the
cause of public honesty has such stalwart de-
tenders
Let us see: What was it that these same
journals denounced as shameless and Infamous
only year agOl Was it not this, from tine
National Democratic platform; owe demand
the repeal of the resumption clause OF the Act
"of 1875" In that demand all enemies of the
nublic faith were agreed. About other
things they quarreled. Some wanted more
repudjation III one way, and some III another
But all wanted r,pudiation OF the clause which
nromised resumption at a fixed date That
was their only bond "Some other date" SAID
one: ono date" said another; "no resumption
" at all - said "A third. But to all any sort OF
renudiation was better than no diShon0r. With
what lofty scoIn and patriotic wrath those who
held resumption impossible, or who wanted re-
neal of the date, were denounced as copper
heads and rebels by The Gazette and Tribune!
"Never.n they insisted this infamous repu-
" d;ation of a solemn pledge. Away with the
shameless betrayers of the public honor"
And now the same shameless repddiators copy
with delight the latest utterances of these same
/ journals.
Honor has not changed nor the pledges Of
the nation These journals held it impudent
and scandalous one year ago for Democrats to
saw that resumption under the Act of 1873 was
! impossible. What was possible then, with five
per cents selling slowly by aid of the Syndicate,
| il much easier now with four per cents taken
by popular subscription at the rate of three
millions per day. What it was impudent
and scandalous to say. with gold at $ll2as,
/ il is not less so to say with gold at 1054.
All that the nations honor then required, it
requires now, save that half the work has been
dome. If meu who demanded the repeal of

MY CRITICISU Hurts.

The essence of the slashing letter from Gail
Hamilton, which we print to-day Gas well as
of several which have preceded iD is that
the appointments of the Administration do not
in some cases come up to the high-sOunding
Promises that have been made for it.
This does not seem to us at all won
dciful; and the sarcasm of the brilliant
critic would be far less effective but for
the gush with which superseryiceable news
papers have hcralded every step of the Admin
istration and the unwise pOmD of speeches
and prOnuncmmentos wherewith one or two
members of the Cabinet have sounded
the Civil Service trumpet before it. No
merchant can organize his countlng-roOm
without making occasional mistakes, which
only time and experience can correct.
Is it reasonable to suppose that every appoint
ment by a new Administration shall be that of
ideal Civil Service reformersf 81 am IA Spir-
" tualist,n said Oliver Johnson, but | am
"not "A damned fool" We are Civil Service
reformers, but we do not expect impossible
ties, and are sadly conscious that the millen-
mum has not arrived.

of the Administration would not persist in de-

estimate that two-thrds OF the unlavorabe
criticism to which President Hayes has

for him, proclalms that he is going to reverse

THE ELTSITE "JOSEPH."

II is reported from Washington that the
movements of the Army in pursuit of Cher
Joseph in Oregon and Idaho are under consld-
Grafton in Cabinet meeting. 1t would be very
Lonesome for Cabinet officers in Washington
during the Summer months if they had no
Indian war on hand TO consult about. Indian
wars have come to be regular Summer sta
plc. We have one somewhere III that vast
Western country every season. Each year
one breaks ont in early Spring continues
through the Summer, and Is brought to sat
isractory termination late in the Autumn, III
time Tor the Indians to come IN to the rescr-
vations and spend the Winter with the agents.
We do not know of any statute on the subject
but there appears to be an unwrltten law
among the Indians similar to our statutes for
the preservation OF game, limiting the time III
which they may ego Il cunning" Tor white
men. The law is coli, " we should say, from
about the first of June till the last OF October.
The principal charm of the Indian war UNI
der the present system Is its enrichment OF the
vocabulary each season with fresh lot OF
unique, if not euphoni0us proper names. We
class them in general as proper names, though
some of them seem decidedly improper. One
war gives us those mouth-fling compound
names, Shack Nasty JIM" " Steamboat
Charley" and "Scar-faced jack" another
gave lis Sitting Bull" -man-afraid-of-hi
Horses" "Spottcd Tail" Red Dog" Cray
Horse yellow Bear" Black Coal" White
Thundcr,r "Crow Dog" Touch-the- Clouds"
"Sorrel Horse" and Lone Bear The present
war has not, in mining phrase "panned ont .
as rich as usual in proper names, possibly because
none # the warriors have yet been caught and
brought into camp, and compelled to dissorse
their patronymics-if they can be called
patronymics The only Chief who has figured
very conspicuously far in the reports OF the
army officers, is Joseph Il singularly simple,
and common name for fighting Indian, whose
Significance it is not easy to trace Ii Is quite pos
sible however, that this may be an Indian
who is in the habit of dreaming dreams, and
that the fruits of missionary labor may be dis
covered in this Scriptural christening. If this
theory is correct, he seems ut present to be
playing Joseph more successfully than Joseph
did. for he has not left the slightest fragment
of any sort of a garment in the hands of any
of bis pursuers. Perhaps he does not wear so
many as the earlier Joseph did.

GAIL THE BANK DEPARTMENT.

Next week begins at Saratoga she trial by
the Senate of Bank Superintendent Ellis. III
cannot be said to open with the most ilattering
prospects for the prosecution. The inquiry mas
been bungled from the start. Part Oi the
Numbering was the Governors, part OF u the
ecnotes: and when the Committee came to
make their report, they found themselves pro-
bibited. whether Intentionally or not, by the
resolution under which they had acted, from
expressing so much as single OPINION. On
the whole, Mr. Ellis is under profound
obligations to his prosecutors, and, II he
should be finally convicted, Will have no reason
TO complain that he was not allowed every
facility for escape. Under these circumstances,
the members of the Senate must approach the
trial of tie case with a feeling that they are
not likely, IS the testimony now stands, to DO
full Justice either to the public or Mr.. Ellls.
This FEELING showed itself in the evident re-
grpt of the Bank Committee that their investlga-
ton could not have been made more thorough
and in the expression of opinion by Individual
Senators, when the trial was ordered, that the
Senate could call witnesses, thus enlarging
and prolonging the inquiry TIL re seems to
be no doubt of the right of the Senate to take
such a course, and there can be no doubt OF
its wisdom
1t is on that point that we have a suggestion
to offer. The most valuable witnesses the
Senate can secure, whether Mr.. Ellis be Gull
pable or irreproachable, are his own subordl-
mates in the Bank Department. They must OF
necessity be familiar with all the cases under
Investigation. They must know their full hIsto-
rics what papers and letters are on file respect
ing them, and wherein MIR. Ellis fulfilled his duty
or neglected it. These four or five gentlemen,
Mr. Ellis's deputies accountants and examiners,
must know all the facts Does the Senate
want them7 If 80, let it call the Bank De-
partment to the stand.

cised. It would have been better for the
President if all the gush Of the newspapers
and all the pomp of promise from his friends
"a to what he was going to do had been sup
pressed and the public kindness had been
left instead to settle naturally upon what ne
did-above all, it would have been q great
piece of good luck for him if Gen. Carr
Schurz had been kept practcing Reform IN the
Interior Department, instead of preaching the
millennium in New-York and Boston. The
Generals devotion is unquestionable, but
tact is not his strong point; and II
he had not led the public to expect the mIllen-
NAL standard, the Administration would have
had vastly more credit for the good work 1t
has done, and been less exposed to the sharp
, arragnment of Gail HamitOD's letters.
1t is a curious illustration of the slap-dash
way in which newspapers leap to conclusions,
that Mr.. Blaine has almost universally
been held responsible for the letters of
this series already published In point
of fact, it was not until the independent critic
had finished the manuscript of the first twelve
(barring such changes as the progress OF events
completely, and was engaged in the prep
aration of the thirteenth letter, which
we print this morning, that Mr. Blaine knew
ANYTHING whatever about them, or even
dreamed Of their existence. The contrary
suppostion has been so generally made
the basis of discussion as to these
sparkling contributions to political criticism
that this statement seems warranted as mat
ter of bare justice to all parties. We make 1t
of our own motion, and our positive knowl-
c1nn
