In a reprint IN the Winchester Ne,cs OF
letter from Berryyille to the Richmond
Dispatch. giving a sketch OF Gresnwsy
Court. the once famous home of Lord
Fairfax, in the lover Valley, the follow
ing interesting event is gwen: when
L ,rd DuumOre went on his expedition in
i744 probably intended for l774) he
came on as far as this place with =
portrait of his troops, and waited here
abont a fortnight for achievements"
This was pretty slick trick on the part
of his Lordship, and was of course IN
tended to save money the picture Of bis
army being for less expensive to move
than the army itself Besides if the
picture didn't scare the Indians into good
behavior he could then bring the troops
with but little extra Expense after all
This is a bit of old history that We FEEL
sure very few of our people had ever
heard of and the Nacs deserves great
credit for bringing il to light.

its membership is large and its captain is
the senior captain in the guard. The
probable result of this transfer will be that
Captain Marshall will discharge every
man in his company and at the same time,
while keeping within the pale of the law,
he and First Lieutenant Sullivan and Sec
ond Lieutenant McCreagh will tender their
designations.
1t is rumored that Captain Marshall has
been asked to accept the position of lieu
tenant-colonel of the Second Regiment of
Artillery, but that he had not given a de-
cided answer. If he should accept the
position 90 per cent of Company A will
join that regiment.
1t is looked upon as exceedingly strange
that In this reorganization three of the
best companies in the State should be par
ticularly singled out for what is considered
unfair treatment. Company H of the
First, with membership of sixty men,
which WAS commanded by H. P. Bush
for twenty years before he was elected
Northumberland of the regiment, has
been mustered out. Company a, with a
membership of eighty men, has been
transferred to the Third Regiment, and
has been practically knocked out, and Com
pany B of the Naval Battalion, the oldest
company of that organization, has been
asked to lose dts identity In that of its
fellows.
'Since politics entered the National
Guard,' said prominent military man
yesterday, cit has done any amount of
mischief Men have been appointed not
for merit but because of their political pull,
and the result has been demoralizing in
the extreme.
81 will never forget the remark made by
General Barnes at a banquet given him
when retiring from the position of adj
iutant-general. Politics., he said, has
entered the N. n. c., and mark my words,
the n. G. C. will soon be n. g. And his
witty remark has proved prophetic.
1.-The National Guard will never be in
that state of efficiency to be of practical
use to the State until politics is eliminated
from it and men are appointed for merit
alone.n

A DISSATISFIED MILITIA.
Numerous Changes Among
the Companies Not Well
Received.
Some Say a Political Significance
Turks In the Back
ground.

The board OF location has done its work.
After weeks of investigation, during which
the companies of this City have been
shivering in apprehension. the local
organizations of the guard have been left
practically as they were before-that is, all
but the Naval Battalion. That organiza-
ton, the weakling of the guard. and the
branch for which each member of the
board has expressed the most profound adj
miration, has been shorn of one of its COM
panies, and out of the three it had in San
Francisco has been made to bear all the
burden of the local military economy.
Company of the Naval Battalion will
be ordered to consolidate with Companies
d and G. 1t is the pioneer company of
naval militia III the West, and SO far has
had a clean record. Company A of the
First Regiment will be ordered into the
Third Regiment, and to take the place of
the company thus moved. these will be
added to the First, the company from
Eureka.
The Second Artillery will be allowed to
remain as 1t is now, no changes being
made at present. Those are all the local
changes. In the interior the Stockton
Signal Corps will be mustered out, and the
corps at Sacramento will be made larger.
The order, when issued, will contain
little Joker which is causing no end of con-
sternation among such officers as
hear of it. 1t states that next
January all companies which cannot
show an average attendance at drill of fifty
men will be mustered out. This the line
officers say means the end of the guard if
the order is carried out, for reports for
wears back do not show anything like an
average attendance of fifty men on drill
nights. Thirty, thirty-fve and forty is
nearer the mark, but fifty is unheard Of
Company of the Naval Battalion is not
to be really mustered out; it is to be con-
solidared To the California guardsman
to be consolidated is an entirely new ex-
perience. The men of Company B will be
assigned to the other companies, accord
ing to the dictates of the lieutenant
commander and Colonel James, the in
specting officer. The officers of the three
City companies of the battalion, according
to the statements made by Adjutant-
General Barrett last evening, will then be
investigated and the best ones will be
assigned to the two remaining companies.
AS for the officers who are left out-the
Guard has but cold comfort for them

street, which is parallel along the other
side OF the panhandle. They saw that they
were being charged an exorbitant price,
and they set up, a loud and persistent pro
test lnsomuch that the work could not be
done, and the resolution was repealed
A little time passes, and these same
property-owners troop before the Street
committee OF the board, and say it was all
a mistake-they want the work done.
The Street Committee is accommodation
itself IN such matter, for four of its five
members are of the Solid Eight They
recommended that the resolution of repeal
be repealed, and at the last meeting of the
board that was done. That meant that
the work goes on.
What caused this sudden change of heart
on the part of the property-owners?
q man up tree could easily guess that
the agents OF these paving companies had
VISITED them and agreed to tax them for
tnelr hau OF the work at much lower
figure.
In consideration of this the property
owners withdraw their objections, the
private contract is let and the City is
cinched for an exorbitantly high rate. 1t
VIII be understood that the City here pays
half the assessment because these streets
bound City property.
Here there had been no previous bid to
establish the rate" The rate was estab-
Hshed by the contractors themselves. No
BIDS We're called for. These contractors
SIMPLY went before the board as they went

discharges will be granted to those men,
bers who do not want to undergo the
process of consolidation. "They are under
the orders of the commander-in-chief," he
said. land if he orders the men transferred
to other commands they must go Just as
they do in the regular army"
The guardsmen elect their own officers,
however, and the question arises, can they
be made to perform involuntary service
under officers whom they do not elect.
General Barrett says they can.
1--WE have done the best we could for the
guard" said General Barrett, land have
mustered out only such companies as we
thought could be spared. We have left
the regimental formations intact, and to
do this we have transferred Company A of
the First to the Third, of which regiment
it was originally part. The officers
will go with it, and the men, we
expect, will follow the officers. AS
for the company dropped from the
Naval Battalion it is not mustered
out, but is simply merged into the
other two. The officers of that company
will have to stand their chances of appoint
ment to commissions in the two remain
ing companies 1t will rest with Colonel
James and utenant-Commander Stahl
to select the officers, of course with the
approval of the Governor"
The reported transfer OF Company A has
had a most demoralizing effect upon its
mem bership, as it is one of the largest and
richest in the State. tits fatty asserted that
politics is at the bottom of the transfer
and that Company A was selected because
