there were some deluded reoole who believed that President Gar field was constantly getting well when he was siowiT aving, so uert are otners wno believe that President Arthur will turn a political somersault, cut loose from his intimates and adopt the friends and the nolicr of the man whose bitter doI itical enemy he was. Such persons will be doomed to disappointment. Arthur is a Via fnnda "rtjilnrt anrl his will be a "stalwart" administration. General Grant can, I believe, have any thing: he wants: so can Conkling; so can Arthur. Garfield is dead.

Washington letter, New YorK loev The New York San saj the stalwarts in that state will certainly not support the half breed ticket with the seal which carried the state last rear for Garfield and Arthur. 'A few days ago when the half breeds carried the convention and the state committee the Sun reminded them that in the history of the party whenever the stal warts run things the party succeeded, and whenever the half breeds were in control the party was defeated. The Sun's latest explains it: The half breeds do their best right along; the stalwarts unless they can rule, ruin. Wicxed Bill Chandler bebs up serenely to say that every member of Arthur's cabi net will be a practical and that 'of Garfield's cabinet Hunt, Lincoln, James and Mac Veagh were "absolutely of no value in politics." ''BUT," himself, we believe rejoices in being known as a "practi cal politician," and ought to know what he is talking aoout; dui mere is an impres sion that "Bill" wanted to be solicitor general of the treasury department and that "vague theoriat," Mac Yeagh, "sat down on him" in a way he despised. This may not have been "practical politics," but it was something which was very handy to have around at that time, and it got in its work.

This same MacVeagh and James, who have "absolutely no value in politics" are the two of the cabinet whom the people regard as the chief instruments in ferreting out the thievery of the Star route rascals and saving millions of dollars to the government. They who have "absolutely no value in politics" seem to have great value in the pure and economical administration of affairs. There is a spirit growing that more of those who have absolutely no value in politics" should be called to aid in governmental administration, about which there has been too much politics and not enough "business." The feliows whom James and MeaVeagh have started on the road to the penitentiary if justice gets her dues, were "practical poli ticians." Of the two, we believe the people would prefer the James MacVeagh style. The Times last week said: It has leaked out that some of the coun cilors and aldermen who anticipate being candidates before the next county conven tion, are proposing to east their votes and influence their colleagues in the coming election of city officials so as to gain a point for their individual advancement. The special anxiety of these gentlemen is tegain complete control of the police force, in order that it may be used as a political machine to assist in setting up the delegations from the southern democratic wards in their favor.

There are two points here: One the can didacy of members of the city government, the other the iniquitous use of the police force in democratic wards to form the decision of a republican convention. The first of these is forbidden by a law passed by the last legislature, approved April 14, 1861, and with an emergency clause which made it operative from and after that date. That law says: No member of the cpmmon council or board ol aldermen hereafter to be elected shaD, daring the time for which he is elected, be eligible to any other city, county or township office." As the incumbents with the exception of the aldermen holding over were elected since this went into effect, they are squarely forbidden to indulge in that which the Times says they are indulging in. The purpose of the law plainly is that a position involving the city's inter ests' shall not be used to farther the personal ambitions of him who for the time occupies It. The second point using the1 the police to control democratic wards to shape a republican convention can be heavily "stepped on" by a remodeling of the unfair method of choosing delegates and baaing such choice' upon the actual republican voters pro rata.

Torktown. jTwo peoples daip hands now in com memoration of the event which a hundred years ago they consummated with their blood. A hundred years ago Yorktown saw that victory so portentous for the world's Strictly speaking, it may net have achieved American independence bat at least, it was the sign which the world awaited that that independence had been achieved, and as such, set the seal of sucets upon it. It was on Sep tember 30 that the seige actually began, the lines of the allied armies with each a wing resting on York river, closing entirely around the town on that day, thus, q. The French troops occupied the left, the.

American the right while the French fleet, under De Grasse, lay below at Lynn Haven Day to head off any naval force which might oome to Cornwallis's aid. On' October 6 the first parallel was begunwithin 600 yards of the British works On October 9 the American artil lery opened fire. On October 10 the French followed, and on the evening of that 7 day with hot shot burned the British sloop Charon and three transports, and drove away the sloop Gu datoupe, which were lying In, the river off tte y. 1 Under the furious French and American cannonade the British guns were soon silenced. On October 11, the second parallel under the immediate direction of the German Baron Steuben, was begun within 300 yards ef the British works.

On October. 14, two British redoubts which had kejt op a galling fire on the beseigers, were marked for assault, and the French THE INDIANAPOLIS NEWS: MONDAY. men and intrlMni MnnA ttvr pfvalrv la IV. (TL. 1 w3 ir.ti 1 under command of Lafayette, were in chsree of one redoubt while the redaction ox the other was committed to a detachment of French grenadie ra and chasseurs com manded by 1 Major General the Baron De YiomeniL Colonel Alex ander Hamilton led the advance.

The troops' rushe to the charge without firing a gun, end, in their headlong dash, went clear over abatis and palisade, plump ing into the' works with only nine men killed and thirty two wounded, including seven officers. The British commander of the redoubt, Maior Campbell, and some in ferior onicers, with seventeen privates were made prisoners, tight privates of the gar' rison were killed in the assault' It was a hot little dash, done in fine style. The French had a more serious job. The redoubt they stormed was garrisoned by 120 men, and it took a half hour's fight to carry it The loss of the garrison was eighteen killed and fortv two made pris oners. The French lest in killed and wounded, about 100.

The severity of their loss was because they waited for the atoms to be removed before making their assault, and during all that time they were exposed to a galling fire. These redoubts were at once manned, and the next day opened a hot fire on the British. At 4 o'clock on the morning of the following day the British Colonel Abercrombie made a furious sortie against the French batteries yet un completed. He was successful at first but the Frenchmen soon dislodged him and drove him back. Then Cornwall is thought of flight At 10 o'clock on the night of the 16th he got part of the army across the rirer to Gloucester, but the elements were against him and a furious storm that raged through the night stopped the movement, and next day those already across had to 1 1 croEsoacaxo loraiowu.

At daybreak on October 17, 100 years Ago to day, the second parallel was completed and whatfollowed was what was expected. The French and American batteries rained such an iron. hail upon the town that it was untenable, and Cornwallis sent a nag of truce lor suspension of hostilities for twenty four hours. Washington, tear ful of the arrival of Sir Henry Clinton, with 7,000 British troops from New; York, under a convoy of twenty five ships of the line, gave Cornwallis just two hours, and with it proposed the terms of surrender. Five days after the surrender, the British reinforcement described above, did arrive, and learning the situation, at once made sail for New York again.

On October 19 the articles of surrender were signed and the ceremony performed. The lo6S of the British during the siege of i or town was loo killed, 32o wounded, and seventy missing. The whole number surrendered by capitulation was a little over 7,000, making the total loss about 7,800. The besieging force consisted of 7,000 American regulars. 4,000 militia and 5,000 French 16,000 in alL Their loss in killed and wounded during the siege was about 300, The artillery and military stores and provisions surrendered were con siderable.

There were seventy five brass and 160 iron cannons, 7,794 muskets, twenf ty eight regimental standards (ten of them English and eighteen German), a large quantity of cannon ball, bombs, musket artridzes. eta. etc. There was also near ly in specie in the military chest. Ihe important part the rencn took in this fight speaks for itself.

But they did yet more. In July, when Cornwallis came up from the south and settled finally on orktown, Lafayette and Steuben hung in his rear nagging him all the way from Richmond. Once entrenched in Yorktown Cornwallis Bent 3,000 Hessians to reinforce Clinton at New ork who was menaced by Washington and Count Rochambeau. Lafayette informed Washington of this, withdrawl of troops from Yorktown. Washington once determined to abandon the New York attack and go to Virginia.

He wrote letters detailing plans of his supposed attack on JNew ork which he caused to fall in Clinton's hands and While. that gentleman was getting ready to repulse him, Washington and Kocheam beau were hurrying south. Itocheambeau advanced 20,000 in specie to prosecute the Yorktown campaign, Count De Barras commanding the French fleet in the waters of Rhode Island, was ordered to the Chesapeake and the French Admiral Count De Grasse also arrived there from the West Indies on the last day Of Au gust The British fleet from New York under Sir Samuel Hord, hunting for De Grasse, arrived off Lynn Haven bav where it found him. On the morning of September 5th besailed out into deep water and after fighting on two days whipped the British badly, losing 220 men, while the British lost 336 and several ships. In the meantime Washington and Rochambeau were passing south.

Three days after the naval battle, Wash ington arrived at Annapolis and seized the opportunity to go to Mount ernon. It was his first visit home since he had left it six years and five months before. The remainder of the month was occupied burrvine: troops up and as detailed above the siege of orktown began with the last day of September. now great a share the French bore must make it plain that without their aid of blood and treasure by land and sea, Yorktown would never have been won. The generalship was Washington's.

He bottled Cornwallis up as neatly as that thing was ever done. But it is because French help enabled him to do it that the descendants of those who, through! these days a hundred years ago, fought in the last battle for independence on American soil, join with Americans in commemorating the time Stories of Judge Davis.

During the campaign of I860 his whole heart was engaged in the cause of Lincoln's candidacy, and his mind was apt to wander in that direction even while he was on the bench.
