A CoWARDLY ATTACK on MINISTER
SARGENT.

The San Francisco Chronicle, sort of
Bashi-Bazouk of journalism, seizes upon an
unauthenticated rumor that the German
Government ignores Minister Sargent in
the diplomatic intercourse with this coun-
try, to say "Among a people who lay
great stress on etiquette and polish Of
manners, he (Sargent) came with the social
graces of cowboy" 1t is perfectly safe
assertion to say that in all attributes Of the
true gentleman Sargent is the peer of Bis
marck, and infinitely the superior of the
BLACKBOARD who penned the cowardly as
sault upon him.
Some years ago the Chronicle played the
very dirty and venal part of journalistic
blackguard and Gbeler in low political
game, wherein the bosses of the scheme
found it necessary to Willy Sargent. The
latter brought suit for libel, and fully and
conclusively indicated himself against the
calumnies of the Chronicle. For this he
has never been forgiven, and to this is
plainly attributable the coarse brutality Of
the Chronicles impotent vituperation.

TIE DAY.

Among some timid lovers of self.govern-
ment there have prevailed fears that the
patriotic sentiment in America is on the
decline. One of the reasons adduced for
the belief is that such days as this, com,
memorative of the birth of Washington,
are observed with less apparent enthusiasm
than heretofore. But the truth is that
mere professional pageantry and pyrotech.
meal spectacle do not testify to the SINGER
ity of the patriotic spirit, nor their absence
to decadarce of patriotism. They appeal
quite as much to ignoble as to lofty SEMI.
ments. The memory of George Washing
ton has not faded in the slightest in the
American heart. On the contrary, as we
recede from his time the grand symmetry of
the character of the chief of patriot sol.
dier and the leader of hberty's hosts
stands out in holder relief, and its exquisite
proportions become clearer to the vision.
As ages pass, instead of George Washing.
ton fading from memory, his name and
deeds will be deeper and more deeply
craven upon the tablets of history and
written in mems hearts and mans prog
ess. His name, fame and example will for
all time stand as the type of the loftiest
effort ever made by men to attain the ut
termost possibilities of perfect liberty tenn
pered by that wise constraint which arises
ont of the voluntary surrender of rights
by the governed, to the end that greater
rights and privileges and immunities may
be enjoyed. The tide of foreign ideas,
the encroachment of anti-republican
sentiments, the waves of socialistic isms,
have not yet so advanced upon the
shores of this republic as to cause
anxiety for the national heart. The time
may come when its beat will cease to be
responsive to American ideas the time
may come when the nations Of the earth
in the smoke of our downfall will write
of Washington as a greater one than
even we deem him-a prophet, if

A VOICE ON TIE LEvsK DEBATE.

EDS. RECORD UNION 1 claim to be man
of average intelligence with the general run
of Sacramentans. Now. sirs, I have watched
this debate between your paper and the Bee.
It figures all down to this, according to my
view:
First-A committee examines cur lsvees
and says safety calls for Us to expend $40, 900
this year.
Second-Two engineers, one city officer,
say the same, and one of them divides up the
levees, and tells US just where place il too
low, too thin, burrowsd by gophers, too per-
pendiculsr, etc., and where grass facing Is
needed, and wing dams, and the exact hight
of every section above high water, and esti-
mates the cost and points out just where each
dollar should be put.
Third-All are agreed that no money is to
be put on levees south Of the city. That is
settled, SO let's cut it out Of the debate.
Fourth-The Bee denies the necessity for
the work being done. 1t denies the figures of
Bassett. 1t keeps asking for proof of the
necessity for ths work.
Fifth-Bassett says he has shown why the
work ought to be done, and points to his long
paper to prove it. But the Bee answers and
says. But you are wrong, sir" and Mr..
Bassett replies, Let's go cut aud Measure
again ana tnen the Dee comes pAck, AnQ
gives up the game by saying, That isn't the
question"
Well. sirs, TO me up here tonight reading
over the whole thing that seems to be Just
,chdt tie question is. If MIR. Surveyor Bas-
sett is right, then, as any sane man sees, he
has shown the necessity. and a powerful one
it seems to me. and good deal more than TO
make people with houses feel comfortable.
Now, then. isn't it fair offer to go out and
test Bassett's truth. l think it is, and l
think the Bee is very foolish to keep asking
for proof, and when Bsssett offers to prove
it, to keep on replying SIS it does tonight, that
it don't make any difference about his figures.
1t seems TO me, and think I've got common
sense at least, that it does make all the diff
ference in the world, and the Bee men are
foolish to dodge Bsssett's offer. TN like
this, as I was about the 0.street muddle, /
want Improvement and safety. I'm like the
RECORD. UNION, that believes the necessity has
been shown for the $4,000 of levee work,
and great deal more, and this simply deny
ing and denying by the Bee is not argument,
nor does it destroy the proofs of necessity MIR.
Bsssett gives us. L. d.

1.-THE NECESSITY FOR LEvEE I'M
PRovEMENF.

The Marysville appeal evidently be-
lieves that the report of the Sacramento
engineers does show "tte necessity" for
work being done on our levees. To its
mind the report is testimony despite the
iterated denial of our evening contempt
rary. What the appeal remarks concern
ing its own city is true of Sacramento. 1t
says:
This city is safe from ordinary floods, but
sound wisdom dictates that the north and
northeast levees should be made strong
enough to withstand much higher water
than has occurred since they were erected.
In the language of the Sacramento en-.
gineers 1t lie the part of wisdom. and
will amply repay, to make our levees
doubly secure against even the most extra
ordinary floods, whether danger is feared or
not" Five months after confidence be-
comes firmly fixed that our levees are
strong enough to resist extraordinary
floods, the population of Marysville will
begin to increase, and building and i'm
provements of all kinds will become the
order of the day. The people complain of

all moneys to build half as strong as the
necessities may call for. The stoppage of
the hydraulic mines at the headwaters of

valley along its line too much confidence.
If not another sand was put into the Yuba

gotten that immense volumes of debris &C.
cupy the river channels, and during every
freshet it will slide along towards the bays.
The old deposit will first clear itself at the
head Of the rivers, and it will pass by US
safely if we keep up strong barriers. After
year or two it apprehended levee build
ing will be light in comparison with what
it has been the last ten years. The passing
off of the sand deposits to the depth of
one foot will lend assurance that they will
nearly all be gone in the course of ten or
fifteen years. When this day of deliver
ance from the curse of slickens comes the
Sacramento valley will again be the garden
of the Pacific coast.
