A correspondent in the New York Sun
says: ut may not be generally known that one of
the citizens Of this city is the owner Of the car
riagc in which Washington made his tour of the
Southern States in 1871. 1t was built by White, of
Philadelphia, and was regarded by him as q mas
terpiece. In a journey of nearly two thousand
miles II is said that not Il screw or bolt started.
In the towns and villages along the route the np-
pearance of the white chariot driven by John
Fagnn, Wnshington's trusted coachman, was the
signal for general rejoicing. OF the three carriages
in which Washington was wont to appear in pub
lie this one alone remains, and 1t is In wonder
iul state OF preservation. The others were cut up
into canes at the time of Washington's death, The
carriage Is now In Philadelphia, and understand
that Mr. Benjamin Richardson the owner, has
written to the foreign visitors to the Yorktown

flowed rich with Creole blood and his record is

A. A. Sargent, of California.

A San Francisco paper, which has long
been most unfriendly to ex-senator SAR-
GENT, prints an editorial assault upon
him, which contains some very absurd
misstatements. We should not refer to it
but for the fact that for many years it has
been the habit of some people to cause
unjust attacks upon public men to be
printed and sent marked to high officials
in Washington, and this may very likely
be Il case of that kind. Says the article
referred to:
ltwas Sargent, most consplcuously, who in 1875
managed to break up and divide the party here so
as to maize the election of the Democratic State
ticket, from Governor down, absolutely certain;
and II wis Sargent, also who the same year paved
the way for Democrat to the United Stat 9. senate
All this work was in corporation with the Cen
tral PacihH Railway Company, which that year
i,,iu off ITS debts to Irwin by making him Gov
srnor, and TO Farley, subsequently, by making
him Senator. Sargent and that corporation have
been the best of political friends since 1871 when
they made him Senator; and his cooperation
with them In 1875 to defeat tho Republican party
WAS probably In the discharge OF the Old debt due
from him to them. If this is StalwarIism very
well but 1t is certainly wretohed kind Of poll
lics, and US far from Republcanism It Is posi-
bic fog treachery to be.
Now every Californian knows that
Aaron A. Sargent never antagonized the
Republican organization in his life. The
party was not broken up in 1875. On the
contrary, it recovered large portion of
The boilers who in 1873 went off under
the lead of Newton Booth and coalesced
with Democrats for the election Of Booth
TO the United States Senate. 1t was the
refusal Of Newton Booth and his followers
among them the present Governor OF
California; TO support the Republican
ticket in 1875 that caused its defeat
which being accomplished, the indie
pendents returned TO the party the fol.
lowing year.
As it was Mr.. Sargent's own seat in the
Senate that was next TO be filed, il is
hardly necessary to bring evidence that
he did not willingly defeat himself in
order to pave the way for Democrat tc
the Senate.
So far from cooperating with the Cen
tral Pacific Railroad Company in 1875
that corporation drove Mr.. Sargent ou
of the Senate by its work of that year
Every man and boy in California know
this and every home reader OF the above
extract laughed at the grotesqueness o
its misstatements. 1t was intended only
for Washington consumption.
Aaron A, Sargent never has failed Il
support the undisputedly regular Repub
lican ticket, never did dishonorable o
questionable thing, and has an enviabl'
reputation everywhere, and especially OF
the Pacific, where he has lived for thirt,
years, for unloading integrity. He need
no defense, bat, being familiar with Cali
fornia matters, we were unwilling TO SCI
his political course misrepresentcd to hi
detriment here.

THE LOGIC OF oRANKs.


Mr.. George William Curtis, Mr.. Dorman
n. Eaton, Mr.. C. sliney, Mr.. II. b. Hayes, Mr.. John
Hay and others signed and issued circular letter
few days before General Garfeld's death. They
attributed the assassination to "the abuses and
dangers Of patronage In the civilservice." Wher-
ever public meetings were held TO express the
strong feeling which had been excited by tho as
sault, or any other appropriate OCCASION" they
recommended that resolutions be adopted "as-
serting the paramount Importance Of the question
of reform" The theory Of the assassination pro-
pounded by these men was also advanced by GER
tain European newspapers famous for Ignorance
Of American affairs. The miserable politicians
who invented the phrases
GARFIELD REPUBLICAN,"
and "Guiteau Republican" were not quicker TO
make capital out Of the assassination than the
civil-servlce reform theorists. Under the Ameri-
can system OF rotation in office the public service
Is open 10 ten million citizens The so-called re.
formers would close 1t to all except aclass OF about
one hundred thousand perpetual and professional
ohce- holders. To their ears the hinges Of the uni
verse Will continue to oreak until this thing Is

hangers oil patronage in the civil service
GufTEAu WAS DISAPPOINTED
Office seeker and he shot Garfield therefore he
shot Garfield because he was q disappointed office,
seeker. That is the logic of this interesting band
OF civil.seryice rcformers, now increased IN mum
Der by the accession Of the infamous X. d. Hayes.
Guiteau was n Disappointed Communist, and he
shot Garfield; he shot Garfield because he had be-
longcd TO the Oneida concern Guiteau was dis
appointed brother of Plymouth Church, and he
shot Gariied he shot him because he had set under
Henry Ward Beccher's preaching. Guiteau was n
disappointed and soured frequener Of the reading
room OF tho New York
YOUNG MEMS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION,
and he shot Garfield; he shot him because he was
disappointed young Christian, Anyone OF these
conclusions would be as logical as that reached
by Mr.. George William Curtis, Mfr. Dorman ID.
Eaton, and Mr.. II. B. Hayes If Guiteau's Office
seeking has any bearing on the crime II to make
u more extraordinary, not to account for IT, When
the assassin conceived the deed he was still mop
ing for Office From the office seekers point OF
view he did the craziest thing imaginable when
he made up his mind 10 murder the man on whom
his hopes depended. He shot the President, moi

The BALL mt Yorktown.

The ball which was announced to fol-
low yesterdays reception was SO rigidly guarded
by the over.zealous marines that not q guest was
permitted to approach the doors Expostulatiou
and the display Of cards of invitation we're of no
avail. The soldiers declared doggedly that they
had their orders and could not depart from them.
The result was that the brilliantly lighted pavilion
stood the whole evening empty, and the dignI-
tarics having forgotten the event, the lights were
put out and the place closed. and the multitude
