EDITORIAL LIFE IN CALIFoRN1A.-A good
picture and life like, of California editor may
be had in the perusal of the following from the
Alta Californian:
"First, he gets up in the morning at ten
o'clock; dresses himself, puts on his hat, in
which are six or seven bullet-holes, and goes to
a restaurant for breakfast. After breakfast,
starts for the office to look over the papers,
and discovers that he is called q scoundrel in
one of them, liar in another, and puppy in
another; he smiles at the pleasing prospect of
having something to do; fills out and dis
patches three blank challenges, ream or two
of which he always keeps on hand, ready print
ed, to save time commences writing leader
when as the clock strikes eleven, large man
with cow-hide in one hand, pistol in the
other, and bowie-knife in his belt, walks in
and asks him if his name is -; he answers
by knocking the intruder down two pair OF
stairs with chair. At twelve o'clock finds
that hi, challenges have been accepted, and
suddenly remembers that he has a little affair
of that nature to settle at the beach that day
at three O'Clock: goes out kills his man, then
comes in and dimes on stewed grizzly. Starts
for the Office, and while going there gets mixed
up in street row, and has the heel of his boot
shot on Dy accloeht; laughs 10 tnihk now
beautifully it was done, arrives OF his sanctum,
and finds an internal machine upon the table;
knows what it is, and merely pitches it out of
the window writes an article on moral re-
FORM and then starts for the theatre; is at
tackled on the corner Of dark alley, by three
men, kills two of them, and takes the other to
the station-house. Returning to the Office at
II o'clock at night, knocks down man who at
tempts to rob him, kills dog with piece of paw
ing stone, gets run over by cab. andhas the tail
of his coat slit with thrust from knife, and
two bullet-holes put through his beaver as ne
steps within his own door; smiles at his escape;
writes until two o'clock and then turns in,
with the happy consciousness Of having two
duels to fight the next day." @

An IRON sH1p.-The Salem, Mass, Gazette
says that an iron ship is to be constructed in
that place for the South American trade. We
quote:
"The iron ship which Mr.. Tetlow has con-
tracted to build, is for Capt. Thomas Mckinney,
of Newburyport, and is to be employed in the
South American trade Her hull is to be en-
tirely of iron to be constructed in five sections,
with iron bulkheads between, so that either
section will suffice to float the ship in case of
disaster One of the sections might be entirely
stove in, by such disaster as occurred to the
Arctic, without any danger of the ships sink
ing. She is to be called the North Star. Capt.
Mckinney has found that wooden vessels en-
ployed in this trade are ruined by worms in o
very short time.
"Mr. Tetlow expects to be about thirteen
months in getting the ship ready for launch

CHIEF JUSTICE OF DEMONSTRATION. E. T.
Merrick, whom we have already mentioned as
having been elected Chief Justice Of louisiana ~as
native of Wilbrahann in this county. Judge
Merrick is now about forty6ve years old, and left
Wilbraham for Ohio in 1888. He was admitted
to the bar at Columbus in that State, and remained
there till about 1888, when he removed to Clinton,
La, where he has since resided. in the enjoyment
of very large and lucrative legal practice. He
affords an encouraging and honorable instance OF
Yankee energy and enterprise, working as he did
at the trade Of Joiner dnti he was nineteen years
old, and rising, as he has, in twenty-six years, to
the highest legal honors in an adopted State. He
was the son Of the late Thomas Merrick, OF VIII
braham-Sprinafeld (Aass) Republican.

THE NATIONAL INTELL1GENcER.-In reply to
note which the editors of the Intelligencer re-
ceived, disappearing of their course in the dis
cussion of national questions, they use the fol-
lowing admirable and independent language:
ga public journal which came into. existence
with the first meeting of Congress, at the cons
titutional seat of government, which was for
many years the only public journal that gave
regular aud connected history # the proceedings
of that body and of the government, and which
in ffty-fve years has never, from fear or favor,
departed from the prineipel Of conduct which,
it publicly avowed on its initiation, must, ia the
very nature of things, have been looked upon
with appreciation by the calm and rejecting
portions of both the great parties which then,
and for long series of years afterwards, divided
the political opinions of the country. If this had
the coAagration of its office by the public enemy
in 1914, and the subsequent unholy efforts to
pnt it down during the reign Of prescription
1t has come through the fires of persecution un-'
scathed; it has never quailed under the frowns,
nor been Influenced by the smiles of the high IN
place. 1t is not likely that the editors Of q pa
per who have been thus true to themselves, thus
consistent in their bearing towards all men and
all parties, fearless in denouncing wrong and
defending the right, should, at this protracted
period of their labors submit to the dictation Of
any man or set of men, We are not unwilling
to admit that we may have committed mary err
rors of judgment, for we have never preteEdedtc
be free from the common lot Of humanity;
but we have dared TO be honest in the worst
times, and we are growing too old now either to
be frightened by the threats Of loss or seduced
by the promises of profit, to become otherwise.
We shall continue to write and to select SUCH
articles for our paper, displease whom it may,
as in our judgment seems most conducive to me
great end we have in view-the preservation OF
our Constitution and the restoration of peace

The DEMOCRACY DISHONEST IN THEIR CHARGE
OF PRoscRIpTIoN.-The records of the country,
says the Creole, abound in evidence that the
present love of foreigners, avowed by the DEM
ocracy, is mere pretense. Their charge of pros
cription against the American party for openly
acting upon the principle that Americans shall
rule America, is designed to dupe the ignorant
rather than to express sincere adherence of
the doctrine. Otherwise they are convicted by
the record of the most shameless inconsistency
We have before us copy of Princes Digest
of the Laws of Georgia, in which we find some
convincing argument going to show that the
Democratic party of this State, in 1885,
prescribed foreigners "with vengeance" In
an Act of the Legislature of Georgia, passed Dec
3lst, 1888, to incorporate Railroad from Au-
find on page 8l4, Section XVII, That .'No
foreigner either directly or indirectly, shall own
stock in said Railroad or Bank, and If any for
eigner shall oacn stock in any aOise, the same shall
be forfeited to the State" The charter allowed
banking privileges to the Railroad company
but rigidly excluded foreigners from it, as will
be seen. Now, let US turn to page 334, to the
Act incorporating the Central Railroad and
Canal Company of Georgia, and we will find
Sec XVII reads thus:
Ne foreigner, by himself AGENT shall own possess
CONTROL in any way either directly indirectly any stock
in said company and in the event of any stock being thus
owned possessed controlled aforesaid the shall
become forfeited to the ate Of Georgia"
And again An Act to incorporate the Chat
tahoochee Railroad Company, passed 21st day
of Dec. 1885, and approved Dec. 20, 1889,
contains, in Sec XVI, page 367, the words
comprised in the above section.
Remember, voters, it was an "out and out "
Democratic Legislature that so unceremoniousls
excluded the dear foreigner. Oh! how they
loved the dear foreigner Men-when there was
not sufficient number in the State, to call for
their adulatory addresses for votes. 81
