warning of our readers, that among tne e'eo
pioneering arts to which Inscriptions partisans
will undoubtedly resort during the present
canvass is the forgery of representations pur-
porting to be extracts from Southern neWspa-
pers, and which will be disseminated IN the
Loyal States for the purpose OF manufacture
ing or moulding public opinion according 10
the wish Of the forger.
We have already seen the extent TO which
this nefario IS business has been carried, pol
soning al their fountains those channels Of
communication through which the pubic IS
compelled to receive the most OF the lnte!Il-
gence it derives from the region beyond our
military lines. So audacious have been these
forgeries, and so adroit in some cases has been
their execution, that We have seen the Secre-
tary Of State made the innocent victims OF
suppostitious paper purporIlng to De al cti1'
cial report Of MI. Mallory as the Confederate
Secretary Of the Navy. AS ''pious frauds
were once conceived in the supposed interest
Of the Church, so We have at the present time
our 'sloyal frauds, conceived in the supposed
interest OF che States and palmed Of upon the
people for the purpose Of hoodvinking and
deluding them.
Sometimes these forgeries are connected II a
spirit OF literary pleasantly, as if to crafty
the craving OF the multitude for sensation
writing, or TO test the extent to which the
popular credulity may be presumed upon; as
in the case of the fictitious narrative purport-
ing to give az account OF the tragic scene pro-
duced in the city Of Charleston by the expo
sion of SHE'LL which, so the story ran, con
verified the room where the marriage OF Miss
Pickens was being celebrated into the chamber
Of death. The whole story was an idle hoax
Sometimes these forgerles are concocted with a
higher AIM, and therefore with still more
dishonest purpose than when they merely seek
to tickle morbid appetite for exciting news.
Among such forgerles we must class all spu,
lious compositions which, whether purportlDg
to be official papers like that of Dir. Mallory,
or whether purporting TO be expressions Of
public opnlon In the South, are fabricated Tor
the purpose of misleading the Northern judg
ment as TO matters and things IN issue before
the Northern people We may be sure that
the same men who did not scruple to forge
report for Mr. Mallory when it was seen that
such report as Was actually forged would
temporarily serve the interest Of the Govern
ment, will be even more unserupulons III. the
service OF their party,
We need not say, therefore, that it behooves
all honest people TO be on their guard through
counterfeit articles, represented TO be taken
from Southern pa pers and calculated TO have a
bearing on the pending political canvass. We
have had in our OWN hands the evidence that
articles credited TO particular papers in the
South did nos appear in che papers to " :-5
they were credited. aud the thing that has
been is the thing that shall be. It will always

ignorant persons. who il other times could
scarcely make enough money to buy their daily

hundreds of other kinds Of proof, the satlrlcal
song writer, were he alive now, would 'be apt
10 conclude that his verse was no less appllca-

when he wrote. Stealing would seem 70 be
the passion Of the day-plundec the ''one

straints OF custom to say nothing OF law. are

such is not the case, in civil life, and where

The celebrated patriot lawyer Ersklne, IN
one Of his immortal speeches in defence OF the
rights Of Englishmen, aid Of English liberty,
says what no lawyer should ever forget; and
acting upon which, every lawyer would make
for himself a name and fame compared with
which money earned in panderlng to unlawful
power, is worse than dross. He said; IN
case where the rights Of society are involved
In the resistance Of 9 prosecution OF an lndl

yate individual is the subversion or surrender
Of public privileges, the advocate has then
more extensive charge; the duty Of the patriot
citizen then mixes itself with his profession

Santiago Libel Suit.

Our readers will recollect the article,
which, month or two ago, appeared in
the San Francisco Bulletin, relative to an
alleged gigantic swindle in the conduct Of
the Santiago mine, in Devils Gate Dis
trict. The article was extensively copied
in the Territorial papers, and caused much
excitement at the time. The gist of the
article was to the effect that the claim had
been sailed by the Superintendent, and
that it had no real value. We expressed
our suspicious at the time, and our con-
illusions, based upon information in which
we had confidence, were adverse to those
expressed by the Bulletin. The article in
that paper has become the subject OF suit
for libel. as has been previously noted.
The case is now in court, as will be seen
from the following item in the 5. F. BulIe-
tin of Saturday:
LIBEL SUIT AGAINST TIE "BULLETIS."
i'm the case Of James Downes Wilson
against the Bulletin for libel, in the Twelfth
District Court to-day, Judge Lake, counsel
for the defense, moved to strike out the COM
plant as frivolous, and not justified by the
article on which the suit was based. In sup
port of the motion, the counsel read the edi-
torial in question from the Bulletin, which
was listened to, BY the Bench and Bar with
marked interest and attention.
If the suit ever comes to trial, the
public will probably learn few items
connected with the popular game of
"freeze out"

EMANCIPATION IN RussIA.-A Boston CO.
temporary publishes the following extract
from letter written BY a gentleman who is
at present travelling in Russia:
The emancipation of the serfs is no
sham," but great and noble reality, car
ried through with caution and courage that
do equal honor TO the heart and head Of the
Emperor. 1t is scarcely possible to measure
the grandeur Of this peaceful revolution, by
which nearly forty millions of people are
raised from condition closely akin to slave
~, to the level Of free men of other civilized
States. This great act is contaminated with
comparatively little suffering and large pros
poets of future advantages Of mobiles and pro-
prietors of land, save only those whose estates
should come under an incumbered estates
act. The emancipated serfs are already dis
playing degree Of intelligence and industry
that surprise their former owners, establish.
ing schools, laying out boarded money on
lands and tenements, and in many other re-
spects showing great intelligence and
sagacity.

THE INCOMES OF THE JAPANESE FBUDAL
PRINCES, THE DAIMIos.-In Harpers' Mag
a=i,,e for January, the following curious in
formation is given as to the incomes of the
Japanese Daimios
We have little information as to the reve-
nues of the Tycoonat, and the sources from
which they are derived. That they must be
very considerable is shown by the cred
Book" Thus we find there the names of 26
Daimios, who are entrusted with the de-
fence of the Tycoon, and are obliged to fur
nish special military contingents." Their
revenues vary from 100000 to 1856, 900.
Then there are numerous officials, whose sal
aries are set down, who are not Daimios, but
belong to the class styled Hattamoto, which
we interpret as being equivalent to civilians.
Among these are fifteen or twenty "Govern-
ors of Foreign Affairs" with salaries Of from
81 200 to $1,000; twenty-four Generals of
Musketeers," with $4,000; an Inspector
of Schools Of Musketry," established in 1860,
with $40, 900; two Governors of Yedo, with
$1,000; and so on, down to " Generals of
Swordsmen and Archers," with $1,000; and
"Governors Of the Navy" with $3.50. Be-
sides these civilians, of whom more than a
hundred are enumerated, there are set down
about 200 Daimios attached to the court OF
the Tycoon, with revenues derived from land
VARYING from $4,000 to $375,OOO. 1t is
worthy of note that no Daimio Of the first or
second class appears to be attached to the
caurt of the Tycoon, with the exception OF
his representative at the court Of Mickado.
The great feudal princes seem to hold them.
selves, or are kept aloof from the general
ADMINISTRATION of affairs. There is one appar-
ent exception to this rule in the case Of an
officer called the Gotairo, incorrectly trans
lated " Regent" The Office was instituted to
make provision for any vacancy in the Ty-
coonship, wheather caused by death or other
disability. When this happens the G1tairo
assumes the functions OF the Tycoon; in no
other event has he any official duties. His
Office is precisely that of the Vice-President
of the United States, leaving out the func-
tions of President Of the Senate. His ap-
propriate designation would be "Vice-Ty-
coon" This office is said to be hereditary IN
the family of Oomi, ranking last but one in
the list of Daimios, having revenue OF
81, 100000. Prince Ikomo-no Kami, who
had held the nominal dignity for seven years,
and actually exercised the authority OF the
Tycoonat when the treaty was made by the
British, was assassinated in 1850. The Go
tairo is elected by the Council Of State and
majority of the Daimios.

She was then commanded by Capt. Caldwell,
