The Achievement at Yorktown.

The army of Lord CORVALLIS which
was surrendered at Yorktown was 5000
strong, and took possession of that place
on the LIST of August, 1871, under or
ders from Sir Henry Clinton, to take and
hold strong defensible position in Vir-
ginia. The whole besieging force
amounted to about 16, 900 men, of whom
1000 were French and the remainder
continentals and militia. The invest
ment was complete on the Both of that
month. The place was taken by parallel
approaches, the first of which was es-
tablished on October 8. On the 18th the
second parallel was opened. A portion
of the British works was assaulted and
carried on the night of the 14th, and the
captured ground included in the
parallel. The French loss in this
attack was about 100, and that
of the Americans much less.
Corvallis retreat by sea was cut off by
the French fleet of thirty seven ships
under Count DeGrasse. The British
General made sOrtie on the 10th which
entirely failed. On the 18th he proposed
to capltulate, and terms having been
agreed upon surrendered on the 10Th, his
whole force consisting of 7,247 regular
troops, $40 sailors and 106 guns. The
total British loss during the siege was
over $50 men.
The important part in this closi~ g en-
terprise and battle of the war taken by
the French appears from the above facts,
and will account for the conspicuous
part which the descendants of our dis
tiuguished allies will have in the Cen.
tennial celebration which opened with
appropriate religious services yesterday.
The achievement at Yorktown was one
of the most important events of the great
struggle for independence, and virtually
closed and crowned it with success.

A StaIWart Cabinet.

The conviction is slowly effecting
Judgment in the minds of the Garfield
Republicans that the new President is
mot on their SIDE" and that when his
new Cabinet is named, it will be stall
wart Cabinet-what Guiteau calls "a
stalwart of stalwarts." And this, al
though the new President has not spoken
a word, nor even opened his mouth on the
subject He is extremely reticent. He
keeps his own counsel-at least from the
Garfield Republicans, though there are
good reasons for believing that he is suf-
ficiently communicative with the stall
warts But Notwithstanding his rigidity
towards the Garfield Republicans, they
have little difficulty in learning a good
deal more than is agreeable to them. The
Chicago Tribune's Washington cores
pondent says, 1.-THE general understand
ing is that the stalwart element is 10 pre-
vail in the counsels of President Arthur,
and none of the anti stalwart or Garfield
element will have recognition in the
Cabinet" and then he adds: There are
those who preuict stirring times in the
immediate political future of the Repub
lican party"
The St. Louis Republican thinks that
what the Garfield Republicans are just
now beginning to find out, Mr.. Blaine
could have told them two weeks ago.
He took in the whole meaning of the
change the moment the new President
came into office, and this is why he
severed his relations with the Cabinet
absolutely, and refused to be mentioned
in connection with the new administra-
ton. A President who calls Nj COnk-
ling to Washington and consults with
him for two days is not man for Mr..
Blaine. 1t is now said that the ex-Secre-
tary of State is a virtual candidate for
the Presidency in 1884. This may not
be altogether true, but there is good
deal OF meaning in it. The schemlng for
the succession has begun, and there are
just two schemes on foot-One with the
administration behind it, the other with
Mr.. Blaine at the head Of it.

Senator Edmunds Rep., Vt,) having
said much of late about "the unscrupu-
lous partisanship of the Democrats" the
New York World Dem very bluntly
and truthfully says: ''If there is a more
INSCRIPTIONS partisan on the Democratic
side of the Senate than Mr.. George F.
Edmunds himself, the World has yet to
hear of that remarkable man." How
scrupulous, asks the World, does Mr..
Edmunds think was the partisanship of
the Republicans who in 1877 counted in
a President of the United States, in which
they were in a very decided minority,
both popular and electorate Mr.. Ed
munds was chosen a judge in that case,
and he decided that he would not look
into the evidence which showed the cleo
ton of Tilden and the defeat of Hayes.
He took the ground that a court or
ganiZed to try a case should not try it,
and should refuse, in Florida and Lou
isiana, where the Governor certified
the election of Republicans VIGOROUSLY
defeated, to go behind the Governors
certificate, while it should insist upon
going behind it in Oregon, where the
Governor certified the election of a
Democrat VIGOROUSLY defeated. This
shows how scrupulous is the partisan
ship of Senator Edmunds.

At Chicago Wednesday Judge Jane
son charged the grand jury of the Crimi-
nal Court very plainly about "corners"
in trade, which he characterized as ga
process of driving unsuspecting dealers
in grain, stock and the like, into corral
and relieving them of their purses.
Continuing, Judge Jameson said: Glow
ever powerful the combination to defy
the laws, and however difficult to detect
and punish the crimes, we rank ourselves
with the criminal if we fail to bring the
terrors of the law TO bear upon him.
For one, l refuse not to hear what fills
the ears of all to the discredit Of the
business men and methods of this city.
The crimes indicated are beng commit
ted. 1t imports much that the validity
of cur statute and its sufficiency to reach
the guilty parties should be early tested.

cts an i'll wind that blows nobody
good." The California fruit raisers are
making fortunes in consequence OF the
failure of all kinds of fruits in the South,
Fast and West. The advance in fruits
in San Francisco, this year, has been
from 100 to 800 per cent; and many or
cbards have returned over $1,000 per
acre. The heavy freights paid on fruits.
and the large amounts decaying during
its transfer across the continent have
hitherto been the chief trouble that the
California farmers have met with. They
are getting around this now, by canning
fruit, which Is found to be a much more
profitable business than shipping the
fruit IN its raw state.

will come up to that figure.
Q.-Do you think this system would give
any better drainage than by the canal. :.
Alt cannot fail to do so. Beside 1t Will
place US in a position where we can at any
time make such improvements as are needed
in our sewerage system. 1t will be the first
step in that direction, after which the balance
can be carried out as fast as the means can
be provided, and, as I hope to be able to
prove hereafter, at far less cost than is gener-
ally anticipated and with results the most
satisfactory.

cost of S29, 600:
A.-By consulting with those in Sacra-
mento who have knowledge of such things,
and by communicating with manufacturers in

Q.-What are your views upon the propo-

Of the city levees with cobble or rubbe stone,

Al think the plan proposed entails a
greater expense than is warranted by the
conditions surrounding the north levee. The
need Of stone protection does not exist either

the situation of the latter. Nowhere ia the

the only condition, in my opiRion. that war
rants such plan at so great cost as pro-
posed, viz, 100000. But were It necessary
to mako use cf the stone protection j would
be in favor of using quarry stone only,
cob5les being too light and too easily moved
from position to be of any value. Large
blocks, the refuse from granite auarries, laid
as in wall, under the direction of skillful
ssonemasop, experience has shown,is the only
method which is permanently successful.
Q-What would be tho effect of building
brush spur-work at intervals along the out
side Of the north levee, to check the current

deposit of sediment?

water of last winter conclude that there is
not sufficient amount Of sediment carried
