justified by the facts. It has long been
apparent that the four faithless members
made fatal mistake at the very outset Of
their programme. They were SO ILL.,
acquainted with public sentiment as to
believe that it was possible TO bargain
away any amount whatever out of the
county Treasury, under the cover of an
attack on the hydraulic mines. Their
mistake in this was perhaps due to their
want Of judgment in accepting the stand
point of Mr.. George Cadwalader for the
public standpoint. But they thought they
could do anything under the circumstances,
and that no inquiry would be made, and
they reekoued without their host. The
Grand Jury might have dealt more severely
with them had it referred to the law,
which az heretofore cited in these COL
umns) prohibits the Board from making
any such payments under the conditions
existing in this case. The fact is that the
Board violated the law as well as defied
public opinion, and that it originally
intended to have gone very much
further in the way of mourning expenses
than it actually went. The public of Sac
ramento may thank the RECORD UNION
and the District Attorney for the curtail-
ment of the Boards original programme.
But for the opposition they encountered the
four members who have gained go IN
enviable notoriety would have laid
debt of from SIS, 600 to 500, 900 upon the
county. As it is, they have wantonly and
uselessly increased the tax rate, and we
have the consolation of knowing that it
will be heavier than ever next year.
Considering all their claims upon the pub
lie. therefore, it will have to be admitted
that in merely suggesting the propriety of
the resignation of these Supervisors the
Grand Jury has treated them very
leniently.

THE GRAND JURY AND TIE SUPER
VISoRS.

The Grand Jury, in condemning the
action of the majority of the Board of
Supervisors in employing George Cadwala-
der, and in expressing the opinion that the
four members referred to would crafty the
public by resigning, has merely echoed
public opinion. 1t has been rumored that
the Grand Jury at Que time contemplated
far more stringent censure upon the Super
yisors, but that perhaps mistaken feeling
of tenderness finally induced it to miti-
gate the asperity of its criticism. OF
course the Grand Jury had perfect right
to express itself as il did, and of course it
was not under any necessity to hold its
tongue il it did not see fit to indict the
Supervisors. Whether indictment would
not have been the most judicious course is
question open to discussion, but it must,
we suppose, be assumed that the Grand
Jury did rot see It's way clearly to
that recourse. As it is, the opinions
expressed in regard to the course of
the majority of the Supervisors are
unquestionably sound, aad thoroughly

CONGRESSMAN PAGE.-C Congressman Page
is still keeping up his spoils fight, this time
after Director Burchard. In our view of
the matter the Second District wants its
Congressman to attend to other business
than looking after the claims of his satel-
lites to Government pap. Mr.. Pages en-
tire public career has been nothing more
than an effort to keep himself in Office,
and the better class of the Republicans of
this district have become supremely dis
gusted with the late founders of their
honorable Congressman, as he will find
when he breaches to them the subject Of
his denomination. 1t is getting time that
a mans own ability and his adherence to
the principles of his party should be his
passport for preferment, and not his skill

4 New sh.p Route to Callrornin.

NEW York, October 27eh.-The Herald
says of the recent voyage of the ship Mac
milan. from Antwerp to San Diego, Califor-
mia The route taken by the Captain Gray
is certainly novel for a vessel bound from the
English Channel to California ports, but the
experiment suggests an important problem
for navigators when making the winter pas
sage The distance from England to Califor-
MIA by the Cape of Good Hope is far more
than by Cape Horn. But the perils of the
Cape Horn passage and its notorious uncer-
tainties and attendant delays may, upon ma
ture re-inyestigation, make the route recently
tried by Gray preferable for sailing ships, at
least in the season of winter. By the Cape
Horn route every mile of longitude the ship
makes (about LOO before reaching our Pacific
COAST, except while crossing the trade winds
belt, she must make in the face of adverse
westerly winds whereas by the eastward
route these winds are almost ceaseiessly in
her favor throughout the voyage, as the speed
made by the Macmillan (17l miles per day.

The New Secretary of the Treasury.

WASHINGTON, October 27th.-The ready
and unanimous confirmation of Judge Folger
by the Senate to-day shows that the nominal
tion inspires general confidence among public
men. The rumors connected with Judge
Folger, that his nomination is q prelude TO
his transfer to another sphere are eaid to be
(by friends of President Arthur) entirely gra-
tuitous. It is well known that upon the en-
trance of Garfield to Office it was great
desire of New York that one of her partisans
should succeed Secretary Sherman. Hon.
Levi p. Morton was conferred upon, and
public sentiment in the State was almost
unanimously favorable to his appointment.
When it was ascertained that his
relations to the banking interest were deemed
an objection by the President. the general
desire was that Judge Folger must be ap.
pointed. He was sent for by General Gar
field and rendered TIE Attorney Generalship,
but declined. For many days his appoint
ment as Secretary Of the Treasury was con-
sidered settled matter. but for reasons not
publicly known. President Garfield decided
upon Western man, and most acceptable
selection in she person of Secretary Window
The story, they say, that Judge Folger takes
the Treasury portfolio now under any cor
ditions or understanding that it is but TEN.
porary aud that it is with view TO trans
ferring him to the Supreme Bench upon the
retiring of Justice Hunt, has no foundation
whatever

not be used to control State elections. The
Republicans reply that Wilson was short in
his accounts, grossly dereliet in his duty, and
deserved to be displaced. The Republicans Of
Lynchburg unanimously approved Strahan,
and the idea of Federal interference was
strained. The Democrats, by dilatory tao
tics, prevented vote on the question. Fill
