An epithet against any man's good
name is not unlikely of proving it
self as emphatic and effective as the
pebble flung from the stripling's
sling against the giant's forehead.
It is only too evidently the purpose
of the third estate of the Eepnblic,
the conspiring hosts of the Bohemia
of Journalism, to create a popular
distrust of all public men who will
not acknowledge and make dae rec
ognition of iU power. The process
is as riraplo as it is subtile. Cor
ruptibility or political Atheism are
assumed as a postulate, and the su
perstructure of detraction and invec
tive i moulded and built with an
ardent, deft an 1 expert hand. Ifr
traction is an art, like law pleading ;
and one of its simplest elementary
principles is that the scar left npon
even an innocent man's character is
never obliterated nor forgotten. The
effectiveness of an accusation rather
gains than loses by its indefinitenes.
An innendo is oftentimes more po
tent than a direct indictment. An
obscure and ill-defined epithet car
ries an extrinsic force which ia a
combination of inuendo and mysti
fication. Just now there is not one
frank and unabashed champion of
Republicanism , not one outspoken
friend of the Administration, whose
reputation has not been wounded by
these Bohemian conspirators. What's
worse, their hue and cry has had the
effect of intimidating and misleading
a certain class of Republicans.
Those unsieadfast, unthinking per
sons are fondly blind to the glaring
truth that these onslaughts from
Bohemia are levelled at the more
conspicuous representatives of the
Republican party made for no
other possible reason than to prepare
the public mind for some one other
than a Republican candidate for the
Presidency in 1S71. The conspiracy
is against the Republican organiza
tion ; and the sappers and the miners
Lave been set at work, Crst of all,
to break down the Conklings and
Butlers and Carpenters and Grants
of the party. It is amazing with
what a serenity and composure the
mass of mankind accept and move
into and occupy a ready built fabric
of personal detraction without even
n much as thinking to inspect the
foundations upon which it is reared!
The Sacramento tmon quotes
Grant's letter to the Jfew York
Brokers and then, having ingenious
ly distorted its meaning, proceeds
to hang upon bis effigy the patched
and seam-whitened toga of Ciesar-
ism. The ceremony is none the less
bewildering to the unthinking mind
fr-m being duly tinseled in the
rbnnn classicism of the cyclopedias
Doubtless it happened that when
Attilla sought to fire the Hungarian
heart, and sent his emmissariea to
incite the Tandals to cooperative ac
tion against the fair lands of Italy
hi bellowed stoutly in deprecation
of Owarism.- It was, with him,
anything to despoil the Teninsula
and demolish the power of Rome.
It was the native-born savage in
stinct of hatred of law and order.
The determination of the Bohemians
is to find fault with Grant because
he represents the head of the Re
publican party. Grant nrmiy ana
-wisely declines to violate an explicit
nravision of law in order to ease
the embarrassment of the New York
City Banks. Therefore he is guilty
nf ftesarism. He writes a letter to
the oTer-importote bankers (who
have, all along, had their eyes on
that $44,000,000 of Treasury re
serves) and giTes them to under
stand that he will extend them all
. .L.1 that he can lawfully com
mand, hot that they must exhibit a
disposition to accommodate the mer
cantile community and not assist the
Chicago and New York and Milwau
kee bread staff dealers to engineer a
corner on wheat and flour if they
would entitle themselves to govern
mental assistance. In other words,
he lets those sharp money dealers
know that they must show no inten
tion of taking advantage of this dis
turbance in financial matters to
throttle the legitimate industries of
the country, if they would have any
assistance from him. And this, the
Sacramento Union tells its readers,
is Csreariara. If-this i Ca-sarisni,
then is its reverse nothing better
than Vandalism. Xo. The news
paper republic of Bohemia attempt
ed, unsuccessfully, in 1872 to name
the Tresident. Even the Sacramento
Union then stood out. Now it
stands in, and substantially upon
these high terms, to w it : " We
named the Governor of California
in 1871 ; we have very nearly, if not
quite, succeeded in electing the Sen
ator from California in 1873 ; now
we are preparing the way to name
the President for 1S7G. We join
forces with the Bohemians of the
Atlantic Slope in order to shape
their policy. We nominate for
President, subject to a ratification
by the Irresponsible Tress cf the
United States, Xewton Booth cf Sac
ramento. Therefore, may it please
the public. Grant is a modernised
edition of Julius Oosar, and the
Bohemian who engineers the Sr.cra
mento Union is the Brutus who
slars him !'

We are indebted to Messrs. A. Ii.
Bancroft Jfc Co the enterprizing book
and publishing house, Market st., San
Francisco, for a copy cf this new
look. It is an attractive octavo,
prettily bound and illustrated with
wood-cuts engraved upon a new
method which combines effectiveness
and ugliness. We notice that this
work has been entered according to
act of Congress, Ac, by Curtis B.
Hawley, and that, we take it, is Mr.
Buckskin Mose's tinpoetieal other
name. This book is pretty well de
scribed in the above-quoted title.
It is one of those periodical intru
sions into the literature of the times
that find paternity in the Jim Beck
worths, Grizzly Adamses, Seth Kin
mans and Peg-leg Smiths of border
society, men who seem to have a
morbid hankering for a fame which,
in their imperfect estimation, is
merely ephemeral and traditional so
long as they lie by word of mouth,
only, but which, as they fallaciously
imagine, becomes stated, distinct
and permanent from the uses of "pen
writing," printers ink and binders
gilt. The trouble with this sort of
reading is that it strips its heroes of
their habiliments of romance and
reduces their narratives down to the
level of commonplace, yellow cov
ered fiction sends it below that
somewhat nnderrated character of
writing, in fact; for while it is hardly
up to Buntline's and Cobb's style of
dishing np the blood and thunder
business it is too much tinctured
with the incredibly marvellous to be
accepted as a strictly authentic re
lation of actual events. Still we sup
pose that this little volume will be
read with interest even by fact
seekers for it seems to contain some
statements concerning matters of in
terest as, for instance, that old
Peter Lassen, whose grave is in
Honey Lake Valley, brought the
first Masonic Charter to California
and, indeed Buckskin's tone would
seem to be pitched so as to attract
the Masonic ear. We judge from
the many stories of Moses' prowess
that he is a near relation of the
famous Captain Jonathan B. Davis of
South Carolina ; whose tremendous
exploits in Rocky Canyon near Todd's
Valley, California, in 1854 awakened
such a fountain of gushing admira
tion, but which subsequently soured
into incredulity.
AN ABLE LETTER
From tne Seeretnrjr of the Tnunrr.
The Secretary of the Treasury has ad
dressed a letter, of which the following
is a copy, to Mr. Frank Edson, Presi
dent of the Xew York Produce Ex
change. It strikes os as a very clearly
expressed, able document :
Treasury Department, Washington,
Sept. 30. Sir : Your letter of the 20th
instant covering two resolutions of the
New York Produce Exchange has been
received and the subject matter fully
considered. The resolutions are those
requesting the President and Secretary
of the Treasury to nuthorize the pur
chase of foreign exchange of bankers,
and requesting the anticipation of the
payment of the bonds due January, 1874.
While the Government is desirons of
doing all in its power to relieve the
present unsettled condition of business
affairs, as has already been announced
by the President, it is constrained in all
its acts to keep within the letter and
spirit of the laws, which the officers of
the Government are sworn to support,
and they cannot go beyond the authority
which "Congress has conferred npon
tlem. Your first resolution presents
diflienlties which cannot be overcome.
It is not snpposed that you desire to ex
change "coin in England fur United
States notes in New York at par. If
your proposition is for the Government
to purchase cold in England to be paid
for in United States notes at the current
market rate in New York, it would in
volve the Government in the business of
importing and speculating in gold, since
the Treasury has no use fur coin beyond
its ordinary receipts, and would be ob
liged to sell coin so pnrcbasrd at a price
greater or less than was paid for it. If
yonr object is to iniluce the Treasury
Department to loan Uuited States cotes
to the tanks in New York npon pledges
and deposits in London of gold, it is
asking the Secretary of the Treasury to
loan the money of the United States
upon collateral security for which there
is no authority in luv. It the Secre
tary of the Treasury can loan notes
npon a pledge of coin he can loan them
npon a pledge of other property in his
discretion, as he has recently been re
quested to do, which would be cu extra
ordinary power as well as a most dan
gerous business to engage in, and w hich
my jnilgnient would deter me from un
dertaking as Secretary of the Treasury,
even if by any stretch of construction I
might not find it absolutely prohibited
bv law. The objections already men
tioned to vour first resolution are so in
separable and conclusive that it is un
necessary for me to refer to the many
practical difficulties which would arise
it an attempt snouiu ie niaue to conipiy
with your reqnest. Your second reso
lution calls for the payment at once of the
loan of 185, or of the bonds commonly
called the fives of 1S74. Upon thorough
investigation I am of the opinion tbat
Congress has not conferred upon the
Secretary of the Treasury power to com
ply with your reqnest in that particular,
and in this opinion the law officers of
the Government concur. Under
these circumstances you will perceive
that while I have great respect for the
gentlemen comprising the New York
Produce Exchange I am compelled by
my views of the law and of my duty to
respectfully decline to adopt the mea
sures which yenr resolutions propose.
(Signed) Wm. A. Kichaeiwos,
Secretary of the Treasury.
The New Yohe Democratic Conven
tion met at Utiea on Wednesday. Ho
ratio Seymour was chosen President.
The incidents of its career most worthy
of mention are that the Tammany Dele
gation was admitted from New York
City and the Apollo Hall delegation
ruled out. The convention resoluted
very resolutely against back pay and in
favor of continued connubiation with
the Liberal Eepubs. Their labors
reached into the bowels of yesterday.
Hon. F. F. Low, our Minister to
China, has arrived in San Francisco.
He is to be gratefully remembered, if
for nothing else, for being the subject
of that splendid bit of witty epitomizing
of one of his Thanksgiving Proclama
tions by the San Francisco JVeics ZeZer
thuswise : " Praise God from whom all
blessings f f low." 1 .
New Yobk I bos dealers deny the late
telegraphic statements that American
iron is superseding English iron in the
British markets. They say that it can't
be done; as also that the story that such
was the case had been invented by
English iron factors to bring down the
price of coal.
