First Impressions ere generally correct, but,
right or wrong, the effects they produce are
never entirely removed. This being conceded,
Postmaster General Key has not improved his
standing with the people Of the country by his
letter, published 10 another column, for the very
first idea that enters the head of any man, con.
versant with current national affairs, who reads
that letter, is that it is weak, puerilc ard
transparent attempt to retain his present posi-
ton, which has been rendered precarlous by
reason of the return of MIR. Hayes to the bosom
Of the radical family, and the we'll known de.
manls Of that family for his and MIR. Sohurz' s
removal, so that the entire cabinet may be OF
the same kidney. When Mr. Key accepted a
position 10 the cabinet of president whose
Inauguration he believed, and SO stated, was
accomplished by fraud, be thought some expla-
nation Of that action necessary, and based his
acceptance upon the ground that he could be
of service 10 his section. TO some that was
satisfactory, ard all were willing to Judge him
by the future. His subsequent avowas, 10 his
speeches in the North, Of the "errors' OF the
South, were also overlooked as the too fervid
expression OF the general desire for peace and
reconciliation, but this letter, considering the
circumstances Under which it was written, will

motives actuatipg him with those that have
long been known to actua!e the more pronounc
ed radical members of the cabinet, and those
motives, at least in the estimation Of the people
Of his section, arc not credltable.

One Of tho most noticeable inconsistencies OF
this inconsistent age is the objection OF those
who advised peaceful acceptance ct the presl.
Dental fraud, to the present Investigation OF
that fraud, aud to the possible consequences OF
that in7s ssigatioD. The fraud was accepted by
a majority ct the representatives. ct the people
in Congress assembled, in whose action the
voters, as law abiding citizens, acqulesced. Ii
only minority Of Congress had sustained that
fraud, and the majority bad refused to sarc:Ion

authority az that the people obeyed when they

congressional representatives, and should the
investigation reveal such corruption 10 men COW

The youth Of the Los Angeles
Star stands up like the boy on tine
burning deck, with his hands pry-
ing open his vest pockets, and
speaks his little piece as follows, to
wit: "Of Franklin, no one ever be-
came tired. His manners were as
unaffected as infamy." This is an
Infamous slander on Franklin's
manners. What did the bald
headed philosopher ever do to the
editor of the Star that he should
have his grave jumped on in that
savage fashion p Santa Barbara
Press.
Now We don't wish to be hyper
critical in our dealings with our
Los Angeles contemporary, but we
confess that, ever since we read
that sentence about Franklin, we
have been possessed By profound
anxiety to know what it meant.
We beg to mildly deprecate the
PresS's suggestion that our es-
teemed contemporary intended to
jump on Franklin's grave; but,
nevertheless, the insinuation as re-
CARDS Franklin is a grave one.
Perhaps the remark was made in a
Pick Wickian sense?

We call particular attention TO
the advertisement of G. A.Collins
& Co. offering TO rent large tract OF
choice wheat land in the San Jacin-
to valley. AS that valley has al
ways been considered nearly ex-
empt from drouths, and grain there
is never troubled with rust, with
the present prospect of general
war in Europe next year, and con-
sequent high prices of breadstuffs,
this would seem to afford very
attractive opportunity to purchasers
and intending settlers.

proceeded to discuss the subject
from a practical standpoint.
He said he liked the system OF
dlagraming because of simplicity.
He thinks every teacher should
make rules Of diagramy and should
classify his subjects.
Many of the examples are purely
technical yet they have the Office.
He thinks pupils should keep in
their minds the practical points,
and it is necessary for the teacher
TO apply in great measure their
utility. He agreed with DIR. Hill
in the practicability of careful an
alysis. He says the teachers must
teach the principles of rhetoric long
before the scholar arrives at this
stage of scientific investigation,
therefore continual reference to ar
rangement, which is corrected
mainly in analysis, must be kept
prominent before the pupil.
DIR. Hill said he had known of
very eminent men who had pre-
served styles peculiarly their own.
Prof. Allen. of the State Normal
Institute, by special request of the
Chair, presented some true hits on
the diversity of opinions on the
subject of grammar. He utterly
depreciates the literature of the
present day, says that the boy

tion.
His language and delivery is so
happy that one wants to hear but
to drink in the great volume of his
intellect.

siderable interest, and it will also

IL VIII De news TO most persons tnat
Byron ever had a son Still, a man
now living here, who may be seen al
most any day in Broadway, claims to
be the son of the poet, and tells a
plausible story about his birth. He
calls himself Captain George Gordon
de Luna Byron; says his mother was
a member of the distinguished de Luna
"a Spanish) family, to whom Byron
was clandestinely married in or about
his twenty-eighth year, while travel

Hoblouse. Captain Byron gets his
name from commission he held in the
Union army, having been for while
on General Fremout's staff in Missou-
ri. When Fremont was superseded
by Hunter, in the autumn Of 1861, the
captain, if we remember, retired from
the service, and spent some time in St.
Louis, where he was noticeable for ap
pearing in the streets in top boots
with spurs and riding whip, though
he was never seen on horseback. HeI
