The New York Commercial Adver.
tiser, an extreme Republican paper
asserts that there is more honesty and
less corruption and fraud in high places
to-day than could be found in public
life during the first fifty years Of our
government. awe are better people,
and, despite the calumnies ofpretendeCl
reformers, our politics are purer and
better. President Hayes, with all his
infirmities, is a much more honest
man than Jefferson or John Quincy
Adams, who, it was alleged, secured
the Presidency by bargain aud fraud" I"
This is an encouraging view of pro-
gress, but to do justice to the living
it is not necessary to malign the dead.
tsFraud" was as convenient u charge
to hurl at John Quincy Adams In his
| day as at President Hayes now, but
| it will have to rest ON some more sub
stantial foundation than ssit is alleged"
! to make it stick. In the case of Mr..
Adams it was long ago exploded, and
no one in this generation believes it,
not even the Commercial Advertiser.
In regard to Thomas Jefferson, the
Advertiser ought to particularize in
what respect he was a dishonest man.
Neither the case of the younger Adams
nor that of Jefferson is similar to the
case of Hayes. When Adams was
elected by the House ne obtained a
majority of the State, and was un-
doubtedly elected. Even If Mr.. Clay
had used his influence for Adams In
order to obtain the Secretaryship of
State, that fact could not affect the
legality of the election, but it has never
been proved that there was an under
standing between Clay and Adams,
It was fatal step in Mr.. Clay to take
the office under an administration
which came into being at his hands,
but that step is not to be compared to
the degradation of Sherman, Noyes,
Stoughton and the Others who manu-
featured an administration by fraud.
There was nothing of fraud in the act
of Mr.. Clay and his friends. They had
a right to vote for either Adams or
Jackson and they chose to vote for
Adams.
And SO of the case of Jefferson.
There was a tie vote between Jefferson
and Burr, both having been voted for
on one ballot <the then existing law
providing that the President and Vice
President should be voted for on one
ballot and the person who received
the highest vote should be President
and he who received the next highest
should be Vice President) and it being
understood by the voters that they
voted for Jefferson for President and
Burr for Vice President. When the
tie was announced it occurred to Burr
that he might be elected President
and he began negotiations to that end,
which finally failed and which de-
stroyed Burr's popularity forever. But
Mr.. Jefferson had nothing to do with
the matter, all of the conspiracy and
fraud was on the part of Burr. He at
tempted to reverse the wishes of the
people and he failed.

Considerable attention is being turned
to the catalpa Of late years, and to its
value in resisting decay. Instances are
given of catalpa trees remaining sound
for great periods of time. 1t is equal
to any of the cedars in these valuable
qualities. Why has this fact been SO
generally overlooked here in the South
where the catalpa grows so rapidly,
and can be propagated with so little
trouble?

One of the passengers detained by the washout on the desert was lady from Prescott, Arizona, who experienced one or two romantic incidents on the trip. One was voyage in canoe, or sort of an open boat, from Enrenberg to Yuma, down the Colorado river, a distance of l20 miles, She, her uncle and little neice, were the only passengers aboard, with some two hundred pounds of freight. They at first spread an awning over the boat, but the wind was so strong that they came near being capsized, and had to take the awning down. and were compelled to make the trip in the open boat. The l!ttle boat was loaded down to the waters edge, almost, so that they were compelled to bale the water out frequently, which dashed in over the sides of the yes sell Yet they finally made safe landing at Yuma to encounter the misfortune of the washout.-[Los Angeles Star.

 Mr. Nick. is a young man of good sd. dress and strong distinct voice, and appar- ently much in earnest in the work in which he is engaged, So much so indeed, that he has but littlo patience or toleration for those who honestly doubt hrs premises.
 Ne thought he assumed state of wick edness to exist in Prescott that might not be borne out bY the facts, and that when he comes to know Us better he may be in- cliped to modify his opinion; but be that as it may he seems to be determined 10 hold the fort, and no one ever attained to great success in anything who didn't go in to win. If he don't whip the fight it will not be because of a want of zaal of apastcr.

General John c. Fremont participated in the celebration of the Fourth, annually held at Woodstock, Connecticut, under the di- rection of H. c. Bowen, of the Independent He made quite a vigorous and eloquent short speech, from the closing sentences of which we quote reference to his new field of labor:
 Just now, in taking leave of you, for must combine farewells with welcome, am on my way to the region where, many years ago, I saw these few watchers over their sacred fire, kept alive through the ages and representing the once powerful system, now nearly extinct with the Aztec race, but perishing only with its people. Shall not our system also endure2 In the life time of nation hundred years is imma- ture youth, and as this youth has proved itself not only vigorous and splendid, but in Its great trial wisely magnanimous, what may not result from its maturity? From this picture of prosperity go to nearly un- occupied region, but one where they have already commenced upon the perfected results you have reached, and with no such trials in its formation state ss you were called upon to meet There a great field is opening. It is country destined to be rich in fiocks and herds and mines. It will be to me great pleasure to aid in shaping its early growth.

A San Bernadino paper says: Ut is now seriously stated that the man who was lynched at San Jacinto for the mnrder of Palmeston was in all probability an inno- cent party. He was resident of Agua Mansa, and is said to have been a very quiet and inoffensive man, and that the only evidence against him was, that he hap pened to be in the neighborhood at the time of the murder.
