Malicious MeauneSS.

To show the baseness and contemp-
liability to which some editors viii de-
scend, when they have an unholy object
to accomplish, we refer to the San Fran
cisco Morning Call, of last Sunday.
That paper, for several days, had been
endeavoring to convince the public that
Hon. D. c. Broderick was the victim of
foul conspiracy, and in the furtherance
of that object they made the assertion
that there was difference in the weap-
ons with which the duel was fought
Well, after the inquest, an article was
written which appeared in Sundays pa
per, and here is an extract from it:
1.-The armorer, who accompanied Mr..
Frederick, testified to discrepancy iu
the trigger of the pistols, and swore that
the weapon placed in Mr.. BIS. hand
was so susceptible that sudden jar or
jark would have discharged it. The
pistol OF the other party, however, was
more difficult, and required an effort OF
the I'm er to shoot it off,
The above extract appears on the
third page of the Call, and on the first
page they publish the testimony given
at the inquest, among which is that of
tie armorer, Bernard Lagaorde, and
here is what he says upon this subject ::
The weapons used aoere alike, but,
one was little more delicate on the
trigger than the other u
They could be discharged by a sudden
jsr or jerk; simply raising them would
not cause an explosion
Now mark the difference in language
In an editorial article, on the third page
OF his paper, this unprincipled fellow
s,ys, the armorer swore that IT. the
pistol of Mr.. Broderick, "was SO srs-
e.ptible that sudden jar or jerk would
have discharged ~" and that I" the
pistol of the other party" Judge Terry.
required an effort Of the finger to shoot
/" of." Now We pronounce the as
s,'rtion made in the Calls editorial ar
'icle, and the extract abovce taken from
it, to be ar unqualified falsehood, with.
ont particle Of truth to sustain it, and
by the above extract, from the evidence
gwen on the inquest, we have proved it
to be such. The armorer, in his evi-
deace, distinctly says that " THEY"
both pistols, &c could be discharged By

Honor to whom Honor is due.


We have received the last number Of
the San Francisco Neaos. and while il
l. laments the death of Hon. David G..
: Broderick, we find no abuse of any one
nor no accusation made against anv ore
Of conspiracy to take his life. This
( is as it should be. Mr.. Johu White,
by SO doing, shows disposition to wait
until an investigation Of the sad affair is
aad before the proper tribunals, when
] The whole facts will undoubtedly come
.sout, and if any unfairness was used
Stoward MIR. Broderick it will be- proven.
sMr. John White was warm personal
friend and bosom companion Of the late
I Senator, andedid more for him, during
{ the last few months, than probably any
so,her man in California, and if any man
could be held excusable for making use
of harsh language under the circur,-
sstances, it would have been he--Brod-
serick's warmest and most devoted friend
sNow contrast his con2uct with that Of
sthe editor of the San Frsncisco Times.
THAT paper and its editor, was always
abtterly opposed TO the late lamented
SSenator--so much so, in fact, as to be
sheld in utter contempt by him. Well
Che is no sooner under the sod than they
aendea9or to build up their fallen repu-
I tation, and that Of their paper out OF his
sremains. They-his bitterest enemies
Hwhen living, suddenly become his warm
5est and mos. devoted friends now that
/ he is no more Why is this? Why
ahas the editor of the 7'inles been SO
suddenly transformed into such warm
Eand personal friend Of the late Senator?
aThe fact is evident. He thinks, by
pursuing this course, to gain favor with
the friends Of Mr.. Broderick, and thus
bring himsel, into Lotoriety by the ex-
citement and HEARTFELT sorrow which the
death of the late Senator has created'

A REMARKABLE PoIEICAI. REVOLUTION.
The recent fanatical demonstration at Harper's
Ferry has made most wonderful revolution
in the political affairs of the country. A whirl-
wind has passed over the republican party
upsetting all its plans, and burying nearly all
its leaders in their political graves. Seward is
completely crushed out, and Douglas with his
distractions about popular sovereignty. is no
longer heard Of His colorcd namesake, Fred.
Douglass, has found it convenient to make a
trip to Great Britain, where he will stir up
the sympathetic hearts Of the old ladies' at
Exeter Hall, and extract many half sovereign
from their pocketbooks. Fred. has printed a
long bulletin in his own paper, in which he
abuses the South roundly, and acknowledges
that he would rather run than fight aay day; no
also accuses the government Of cowardice in
endeavoring to arrest him when "other and
more popular men happen to be equally COM
promised" with himself. The fact is, that the
radical abolitionists are shaking in their shoes
all over the North, while the republicans of the
Thurlow Weed Greeley and Matteson stamp
look upon Old Brown as a special machine in
vented to plague and destroy their party. On
the other hand, the conservative men Of all
parties, North and South, speak highly Of
