UxDEn WHICH KING.

The Republicans in the House of
Representatives are at loss for a
leader. Garfield Of Ohio, and Robson
of New Jersey, aspire to the position,
and each has quite following among
the members. Garfield marked out a
course for Congress to follow on the
appropriation bill, and the amendments
to the election laws, which the majority
have attached to, and made part of
that bill Garfield declared that the
repeal of the election laws was proper,
but that it was revolutionary if tackled
to the appropriation bill. While the
minority in the House followed Gar
fields advice, they did not object to the
repeal of the election laws, provided the
repeating clause was not made part of
of the appropriation bill Robson dis
sented from this view, and called a
caucus of the Republican members of
the House in which the question was
discussed, and the majority conceded
with Robson, who says that if it was
proper to repeal the election laws, it
was not revolutionary to embody the
repeating clause in the appropriation
bill. Robson, who was Secretary of
the Navy under Grant, and as such in
few years, acquired a prin ely fortune,
is now the acknowledged leader of the
minority in Congress. But what will
impartial observers of Congress onal
events think now of the revolutionary
cry against the repeal of the election
laws? Garfield, whose Republicanism
has never been questioned, declares
that they ought to be repealed, while
Robson asserts that they ought not to
be. Revolutionary proceedings one
would think, could scarcely be mistaken
by anybody Of ordinary Intelligence.
Everyone knew what the fifino on Fort
Sumter in 1867 meant, and it did not
require Garfield or Robson to teach
them that it was revolutionary. Now,
however, when partisan Congressman
are at loss how to make political CAPT
tai for the ensuing Presidential cam
paign, they have TO meet in caucus to
decide whether the manner proposed to
repeal AN Act which some of their ablest
leaders admit ought to be repealed,
stall be declared revolutionary, and in
fhis they differ, though the majority
decide in the negative.

Professor Brewer points OUT TWO
errors that are current about them' one
relating to their hight, and the other TO
their age. The "Father of the Forest
is generally SAID to have been 400 feet
high when in his glory. The fact is no
one knows how high it was. When
the grove was first seen by white men
the PROSTATE tree was already dart
rotten, and the whole top burned away.
The highest, tree in the Calaveras grove
is 225 feet, and the highest IN the
Mariposa 272. The highest IN the
Kings River grove is 300. As to their
e, their is no reason to believe that
even the oldest begin its growth long
before David reigned in Israeli as
people are fond of asserting. One OF
these trees was felled in 1853, and
found to be sound to the core. Its age
is known to within few yea $, and it
began it's growth more than 2,5CO years
after David died. 1t is possible that
some of the Oldest tree of /" species
may have begun its growth 1000 years
ago, but not at all probable that any
reached back to within thousand
wears of the time of the Jewish King.

GEN. d. s. STANLEY, who is in New
York, renews his old fight with Gen.
Hazen, by referring to Gen Hazen's as
plrations to the quartermaster-general-
ship of the army. Stanley says: "If
his nomination comes before the sem
ate, it will meet these charges of per-
jury and cowardice, which have been
made to my face.'' The principal
charge is that at the second day of the
battle of Shiloh, Hazen skulked near
the river, alleging the men had deserted
MN. The charge Of perjury has eleven
speciiications, based chiefly on Hazen's
testimony In the Belknap case. Haz-
ems counter charges are falsehood and
conduct unbecoming an officer and a
gentleman. It is said that Gen. Sher-
man informed Hazen that If he failed
70 substantiate these charges, his resig-
nation must be placed in his (Sherman's)
hands. Stanley asserts that Hazen
was reported to him for cowardice at
the battle Pickett's mills and other
places. Hazen is now colonel of the
sixth infantry, at Fort Buford, Dakota.
