institution volume containing these
self-same rules, written in French.
One edition of this volume was print
ed in Rouen, aud was among the text
books studied by young James Marye
when attending the Jesuit college Of
thar city. This proves conciusively
that it was he who translated these
rules to his pupils in Fredericksburg,
since he was the only man there who
understood the French tongue, his ma
tive speech5 The variations in the
manuscript left by Washington are ex-
actly such as young boy would make
in following the eral instruction of his
teacher.
With these revelations it would
seem that the dispute Of historians
and biographers over the history Of
these famous rules has at length
been settled.

state in December of the year 1895.
Alexander Hamilton and Oliver
Wolcott served as secretaries of the
treasury during Washingtons admins
tration, while Henry Knox, Timothy
Pickering and James McHenry served
at different times as secretaries Of
war and navy. The different attorney
generals during the Washington ad-
ministration were Edmund Randolph,
William Bradford and Charles Lee,
The postmaster general was not rec,
ognized as a member Of the Presi-,
dents cabinet until the year 1923.
All was not harmonious in the Pres
ident's cabinet, peaceful as his cleo
tion had been Thomas Jefferson and
Alexander Hamilton we're not the best
of friends, and the breach widened as
it became more and more apparent
that Hamilton had more influence
than Jefferson over Washington and
was able to bring more things to pass.
Washington was as unwilling to re-
ceive his second nomination as he had
been to receive the first, and he was
anxious to retire from public life, out
again his friends made him feel that
it was his duty to accept the Office.
The second campaign, like the first,
was without conventions, without
nominations. and such thing as a
platform" on which the party might
"stand" was as yet unheard Of. But
party spirit had made itse6 felt, and.
there were Federalists and Anti-Fed-
eralists, to whom the name of Repub-
licans began to be given.
But both parties were eager that
Washington should remain in office.
although there was an effort made to
oust John Adams from the vice presi-
dency and to give that Office to George
Clinton, but Adams was. as is well
known, elected for a second term.
Party spirit ran high. Indeed it be-
came so violent before the close of
Washingtons second administration
that he might well have wished him
self back on his peaceful Mt Vernon
farm, leaving behind all the vexatious
cares of state that must be the por-
tion Of every President Of the United
States.

London. There, in 172S, he married
Letitia Maria Anna Staige. sister Of
Rev. Theodosius Staige, famous min
lister In the early days of Virginia, and
who was at that very time rector OF a
church in ST. Georges parish, few
miles from Fredericksburg.
On first coming TO Virginia Rev
James Marye became the minister Of
a settlement Of Huguenots at Mana
can, or Manakinton, in Gooehland
(now Powhatan county, on the James
river, above Richmond, and so excel
lent was his reputation that the good
people of Fredericksburg desired him
for rector Accordingly, in 1885, as
shown by the early vestry book, the
church wardens asked leave Of Gov.
Gooch, as was the colonial custom, to
call Rev. James Marye to their pull
pit. This request was granted, and
in October Of the same year he as
sumed charge Of st. Georges parish,

thirty-four years, and being followed
by his son, Rev. James Marye, Jr,
who ministered until his death, in
1880. AS was the custom Of clergy

James Marye conducted an academy
in connection with his church. 1t was
this academy that Washington attend

1t is a far cry from the time of the
election Of George Washington and
John Adams to be President and Vice
President of the United States down
to the presidential campaign of the
years of our Lord, 1904. That first
election took place on the 7th of jan
uary in the year 1889, and such evil
dence as we have in regard to it
would indicate that it was rather a
tame affair. Indeed, it could not well
have been otherwise in view of the
fact that there we're no opposing can
didates, and none of the elements that
enter into the election contests Of our
day. Party spirit had not yet mani
tested itself, and the young republic
turned with one common impulse to
Washington when it became neces-
sary to elect President.
The Hspellbinder, the Stump speak
en-" the professional politician, the
chronic campaign shouter and the po-
litical wire puller' were as yet un-
known.
Only ten states voted at this first
election. New York, although having
ratified the constitution and thereby
having the right to vote, lost this
privilege through a bitter contest be-
tween the two branches of her Legis-
lature over the appointment of cleo
tors. There is no satisfactory record
of the number of popular votes cast
at this election, nor at any Of the sue.

AS a rich incumbent of the highest
Office, Washington maintained style
that was rich and elegant and by
some thought ostentatious. The state
carriage was the town wonder. espe.
cially when 1t was drawn by six blood
ed horses. The Presidents social adj

their studies at some Of the great uni
versities. Washington two elder
brothers received this advantage, but
the death Of his father made a change
in the family affairs. A large property
was left to them but there was little
ready money and there were several
children TO educate and provide for.
Hence the education Of Washington, to
his lifelong regret, was limited. 1t
was under the care Of this Huguenot
that our great statesman received his
most valued instruction.
Rev. Jonathan Boucher, teacher Of
Mrs. George Washington's son. John
Curtis, says that George Washington
had for his first teacher "a convict
servant whom his father had bought
for q schoolmaster" This convict
was most probably one Of a shipioad
of convicts brought by Augustine

the death of his father (April f2,
1880 George, who was then IL years

Wakefield in Westmoreland county,
where he was born. Two years later
he returned to live with his mother
opposite Fredericksburg. It was tnen

Marye.
