Was he JUSTIFIED -?

We published yesterday an account of the
killing of S. ]. Newell, at San Francisco, by
Horace Smith, on New Years day. There
are various rumors as to the provocation, but
they all agree in one thing, that Newell
coupled Mrs. Smiths name with terms re-
hecting dishonor upon her character. AS
the papers will probably discuss the question
of justification or non-justifcation of this
deed, we may as well have our say now.
The only point of doubt with us is, wheth-
er Newell did say any thing rejecting upon
Mrs. Smith. If he did, and if the fact of his
having said it was the cause of the summary
vengeance taken upon him by Mr.. Smith, we
have no hesitation in saying that he deserved
his fate, and that public opinion should side
with Mr.. Smith.
Any man who would breathe an imputa-
ton against the character of any lady of the
circle in which he moves, or boast of faml-
iarity with her, to her detriment, whether
his boast was well grounded or not, land in
such cases it is ninety-nine times out Of q
hundred, false boast, for no true man
would give such license to his tongue) he
ought to die. There is no other aionement
for an act which, like breath upon a pol
ished mirror, may dim the clean crystal of a
womans reputation, or like an exhalation of
the upas leaf, blast the very life of her exis-
tence. The least whisper may stain the fair
est name in the community, and fasten upon
it blight from which it can never recover.
How much more then an open ard public
declaration, who Sc repetitions are to be sown
broadcast upon the winds? 1t is the busi-
ness of honorable men to protect the fair
fame of women. Every man claiming to be
gentleman, should hold the reputation of
every female whom he deems worthy of his
acquaintance, let alone of those dependent
upon him, as sacred as his own honor among
men, and as dear to him as the apple of his
eye.
The murderer of character is q far
blacker murderer than the mere assassin of
the body, and he who slays such a man is no
murderer at all. Nature and eternal Justice
give the husband or any other legal protec :
tor the right to the blood of the man who
would, with foul utterance attempt to black
en- the character of his wife or of his daugh-
ter, or of the female who looks to him for
protection.
The facts in the cas- of the present killing
will probably be developed in the publica-
tion of the testimony on the inquest upon the
body of Newell. Ifnot, they will be made
known in the trial of Mr. Smith for the ho-
miOide, he having waived the preliminary
examination.

ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT of ANDREW JACKSON
j. w. Simonton, writing to the Bulletin
from Washington, on the llth of December
says:
Senator Sumner yesterday read to the Sen
ate an original manuscript letter by General
jackson in 1888, in which he anticipates the
present attempt at disunion "on the negro
question" 1t is as follows:
]Private.] WASHINGTON, May, lst, 1888.
My DEAR SIR: have
had laborious task here, but notification is
dead and its actors and courtiers will only
be remembered by the people to be execrated
for their wicked designs to sever and DESTROY
the only good Government on the globe and
the prosperity and happiness we enjoy over
every other portion of the world Haman's
gallows ought to be the fate of all such ambi-
tioUs men who would involve their country
in civil war, and all the evils in its train.
that they might reign and ride on its whirl-
winds and direct the storm. The free people
of these United States have spoken, and con
signed these wicked demagogues to their
proper doom. Take care of your nullifers :;
you have them among you let them meet
with the indignant frowns of every man
who loves his country. The tariff it is
nOO--
land he italicizes or underscores the word
now" said Mr.. Sumner.
known was a mere pretext-its burden was
on your coarse woolens. BY the law of July,
1882, coarse woolen was reduced to five per
cent. for the benefit of the South. Claws bill
takes it up and classes it with woolens at fifty
per cent, reduces it gradually down to TWEEN.
ty per cent, and there it is to remain, and
Mr. Calhoun and all the nullifers agree to
the principle. The cash duties and home
valuation will be equal to fifteen per cent.
more, and after the year 1912, you pay on
coarse woolens thirty-fve per cent. If this
is not protection, l cannot understand there
fore the tariff was only the pretext, and dis
union and a Southern confederacy the real
object. THE nert pretext wiU be the negro or
slavery question.
My health is not good, but is improving
little. Present me kindly to your lady and
family, and believe me to be your friend. /
will always be happy to hear from you.
ANDREW JACKSON.

SENATOR HAIE.--The following expression
of opinion about Senator Hale is from a Re-
publican source. Itis from the Philadelphia
Inquirer. Referring to the speech of the SEN
ator, on the present aspect Of political affairs,
it says:
"This gentleman has, by some unacoount-
able freak of the citizens of his State, got
into and kept in a seat in the Senate of the
United States, when his true position would
be in the saw-dust of circus, crowned by
the testers cap and bells He is the mounte-
bank of the Senate, possessing neither digni-
ty, prudence, nor proper appreciation of his
hiph duties"

let us with disposition to welcome all who
come to us from our old homes seeking an

Oh psllaw !

RELY upon your own exertions for liv-
ing, and you will not go barefoot while
waiting for dead mems shoes. Rely upon
your own eyes for sight, and you will not be
misled by the ortsightedness of others
Rely upon your own brain for ideas, and you
will never perpetrate plugiarisms. Rely on
your own talents for fame, and you will not
need to resort to humbug.
