[Pratn the Now York World.] " Jf General Hamilton's figures l»e correct, then Washington was never 'in debt' in any sense of the word. Corbett and the World seem to think differently.- [Baltimore Gazette. The Accomplished writer in the Oa :> rtV, who at one period of hi* life care fully investigated at least the military part of Washington's career, and pub lished the result in volumes which form an interesting pari of our histor ical literature, ought not to have fallen into so many mistakes as he has given us occasion to rectify. He seems to hmVO forgotten more American history than most of his countrymen ever knew. He says if Hamilton's figures be correct, Washington was never an instant in debt to tlie treasury iv any sense of the treasury in any sense of the word.

Hamilton said: "1 knew that no possible risk could at tend the advance. The estate of the President was answerable in case of death or other premature vacancy-" If be Mas not in debt, how could the money have heen "advances?" How could his estate have been answerable for money which he did not owe? We quote again from the Haltinioie Go* zettt: "We have not at hand tlie Aurora or 'Peter Porcupine, and Aye are pleasant ly conscious of the privation, for surely there is nothing in our political story more hideous than the gibbering slan ders put in circulation by those reck less 'foreigners,' Diiane and Cobbett. It was with tlie former that originated the libel that Washington was always in debt to the Government—with the latter, the equally offensive one that he made a boast of ids disinterested ness." Duatie was not a foreigner; he was born in tlie Htate of New York, near Lake Chatuplain, He was not editor of the Aiinn'u when tlie salary etpO surc was made, nor till about four years afterward. He could not have been the "Calm Observer," for it was only in that very year that he return ed to this country after au absence since he was eleven years of age. His parents were Irish immigrants, and after tlie death of bin father his mo ther returned to Ireland, taking ber only son with her. He went thence to Calcutta and edited tlie World, the first, or one of the first newspapers published iv tlie East. The English authorities suppressed his paper and sent him to England for his too bold exorcise of tlie freedom of tbe press. After vainly seeking redress from Parliament and the East India Com pany, he edited iv London the Gene ral Advertleer, whioh afterwards be came tlie famous London Time*. Tbe Aurora waa owned and edited by Ben jamin Franklin Baohe, a grandson of Franklin. When Baohe tell a victim to the yellow fever in the autumn of 1798, (three years after the salary sen sation,) his widow continued tlie pub lication. She soon employed and af terwards married Duane, who thus be came editor of the chief Democratic organ. He contributed powerfully to Jefferson's first election. It is not true that Cobbett co-operated with Duane or Rache. During his publication of Porcupine's Gazette he was a furious Federalist ami lampooned Baohe aud Duane witb a skill which only lie pos sessed. It is not true that* Cobbett "originated" the comments on Wash ington's professions of disinterested ness; they were started in au editorial in Baches Aurora, replying to au ar ticle supposed to be Hamilton's iv Noah Webster's New York Minerva. When, after Cobbett's return to Eng land, he published the twelve volumes of selections from his American writ ings, he inserted among them some of tbe attacks on Washington as curi ous information for English readers. While lie was iv America he made a long defense of Washington against the virulent attack of Thomas Paine. We quote again from the Ootette', " Washington's legal pomp! Have our New York friends ever seen the modest mansions in Philadelphia and Germantown, which were the •palaces' then. Either would go into Mr. A. T. Stewart's kitchen, and be easily covered by General Grant's sta bles. And as to the (roach and four? Every Virginia and some Philadelphia gentlemen of that day drove four horses. There are living now those' who remember them. It was no more a sign of 'regal pomp' than Washing ton's black suit and sword und pow dered hair. It was the mark of a gen tleman, and we should say of a South ern gentleman, but tbat we remember Mr. Jefferson wore a red waistcoat unit hitched hi* horse to the Capitol palings." Wellington's house in Philadelphia was tiie mansion of Robert Morris. Washington himself said of it iv a letter to Sear, his private Secretary: "It is, I believe, the best single house in the city. Yet, without auditions it is inadequate to the commodious accom modation of my family. These addi .. tions I believe will be mudc. * * * There are good stables, but for twelve horses ouly, aud a ouavh houso, which Los Angeles Daily Herald. will hold all my carriages." We know no authority (aside from ilicGo- Sftte) for the statement that ucoaeh and four was customary with gentle men of that period. Be this as it may, Washington on State occasions gener ally used a coach and six, and he kept rOS till ions as well as a coachman. Will the writer who seems so amused, or at least surprised, ut our allusion to Washington's "almost regal pomp," take Jefferson as an authority? lie said (Works, vol. 7, pp. 887-8): "When I joined tlie Government iv March, 1700, at New York, 1 was much aston ished at the mimicry I found estab lished of royal forms and ceremonies. I took occasion, at various times, of expressing to (Jeneral Washington my disappointment at these symptoms of a change of principle, and that I found them encouraged by the forms and ceremonies which I found prevailing not at all in character with the sim plicity of Republican Government, and looking as if wishfully to those of European courts." Washing ton ex plained as being little versed in such matters, he had asked those about him to decide on tha forms. "The task," says Jefferson, "was assigned particularly to General Knox, a man of parade, "and to General Humphreys who had resided some time at a for eign court." Near the beginning of the second term Washington referred the subject to his ('abinet for advice as to revising the existing forms. Jeffer son and Hamilton favored more sim plicity; Knox and Randolph opposed any change; and tho Cabinet being equally divided, no change was made. We will add nothing hut an authentic description, by a friendly pen, of Washington's Philadelphia levee: "At ;i o'clock all the chairs having been removed, the door was opened, and the President, usually surrounded by members of his Cabinet or other distinguished men, was seen by the approaching visitor standing before the Are-place. Ids hair powdered and gath ered behind in a silk bag, coat and breeches of plain black velvet, white or pearl-colored vest, yellow gloves, a cocked lint in his band, anil a long sword, with a finely wrought and glit tering steel hilt, the coal worn over it, and its scabbard of polished white leather. On these occasions he never shook hands even witli his most in timate friends. The name of every one was distinctly announced, and he rarely forgot a person who had been once introduced to him. The visitor was received With a dignified bow, and passed on to another part of the room. At a quarter past » tiie door closed, tiie gentlemen present moved into a circle, and he proceeded, begin ning at his right hand, to exchange a few words with each. When the cir cuit was completed he resumed his lirst position, and the visitors ap proached him iv succession, bowed and retired." With this exception of not exact ing court dresses for the visitors, this differed little from tlie ceremonial stitrness[of a royal levee. At Santa Cruz Peeeuti) a native Califomian, named Jesus Marisch, while intoxicated, fell under the tiy wlieel of tiie Soquel Steam Flouring Mill there. Tne pinion of the fly wheel had struck liim on the head, and broke his skull besides mangling his limbs. The body was found under the mill wheel by Mr. O. I*. Wilson, the miller, while breathing, but in a few moments ho expired. I* It OS 1 ■ ECTTJSI —op THE LOS ANGELES HERALD.
