THE SHoTwELL FORGERY CAsE.-Thc prima-
~ examination of James A. Shotwell, or James A.
stevens, on the charge of forging the name Of A.
]. Moulder, to a check on the banking house Of
Donohoe & Ralston for the sum of $780, COM
meuced yesterday afternoon, Messrs. Murphy d
Wilson appearing for the prosecution and Alexan-
der Campbell and Harry Byrne for the defence.
The evidence was of the strongest possible char
acter, and included the testimony Of quite num-
Der of witnesses. The fact Of the check being
forgery was shown by Mr.. Moulder and his part
ner, Mr. Clary. Mr.. Clark and Mr. Morrison, pay.
ing and receiving tellers in Donohoe 4 Ralston's,
identified the defendant as the party who drew the
money on the forged check, their attention having
been drawn to him specially by his stating he had
sold Real del Monte stock to Moulder s. Co., and
lind never done business with broker yet with
out being swindled" Marshal Perry, of Virginia
City testified 10 the facts Of the arrest, and sub
sequent conversation with the prisoner. D. c.
Williama. the stock broker, testified TO the fnct
that the defendant had been frequenter Of his
place of business for months, upon one prctext or
another, and to the following very ugly looking
fact On the 26th Of January last-the day on
which the forgery was committed-he (Wllliams)
was figuring upon q slip Of paper, which he
lef lying on his desk when the calculations which
he was making were completed While the slip
lay on the desk, the defendant came In and wrote
there for some time; and on bis gong away
Mr. Williams looking for the slip to refer to as o
memorandum found that defendant had written
the name of A. J. Moulder, and the figures 81, 200
the amount Of the forged check-a number
of times across the back Of It and, strangely
enough thrown II down, instead of destroying 1t.
The slip was preserved by Mr. Williams, and Py
referring to his books containing the figures which
be had transferred TO the slip, he is now able to
swear positively that the occurrence took place
the day specified Mr. shotwell, Of Alsop & Co. 3
also testified to the fact that the defendant made
the deposit at that bank the day the check was
drawn, az heretofore stated IN the Ahe-and fur
thsrmore, that defendant and himself were not rel
atives by blood or marriage, the statements OF bis
assumed namesake to the contrary notwithstand-
ing The hearing Of the case will be continued TO-
day-Aha, Of Tuesday, EreaiAg.

RELATIVE GREATNESS.

1t is not our desire to underrate or to over
rate the importance Of any place in this Ter
fitory. The entire country challenges our
wonder and admiration BY its matches I'D
Sancement, and commands our hopes for Its
uninterrupted development. Each locality IS
worthy Of respectful attention and uueauN-
oeal encouragement; every good eiazen' no
matter where his energies are conferred, IS
worthy of the praise which is always due to
enterprise and honesty; and every feature,
srno+ive, tendency, or institution which is cal
ruAted to help the morals while the energies
arc concentrated upon the minerals, ought
TO be written of and spoken of as 4 matter
belonging to the Territorial community,
rather than as speciality Of single section
or neighborhood. Nevertheless, the inhabi-
tant of any section or neighbOrhood is en-
titled to the privilege of testifying persua-
siyely, and, il possible, couvincingly, in ia
yor of his own place, without attempting to
do so through detractiOn from other places.
Therefore, il is for Us to say, that while all
of the most settled places of the Territory
have respectively the true merits and means
of progress, the Gold Hill Mining District is
the most thorough and abundant in its min
ing operations and that next TO Virginia in
prosperity and wealth, the town Of Gold Hill
stands, or, it might be properly said. moves,
in the lead Of immediate substantialness and
prospective greatness. The discoveries in
the District have more generally proved pro-
6table than those Of any other district, and
the idea of discoveries yet to be made is
sustained by the soundest of foregone con-
clusion. The atentian Of tens Of thou
sands may be turned toward the surprising
growth Of Virginia but the thoughts Of tens
of thousands are directed to Gold Hill min
ing prospects and projects. The acknow-
ledglnent Of vastness and elegance may be
made for the benefit Of Virginia; but the
admission of superior mineral resources is
made for Gold Hill by not only California
capitalists, and mine operators, but by the
capitalists, spectators and improyers of Eir-
GINA. We unhesitatingly accord to Virginia
a city-like-a splendidly city-like superiori-
ty, but withal i, cannot hold Gold Hill as a
dependency. We would not arrogantly af-
firm that Virginia is dependency Of Gold
Hill, but we would ask if such is not truth
fully the relative positions of the two places.
II Gold Hill had not expanded and prosper
ed, Virginia city would not have reached its
present high commercial grandeur and So
cial fullness. Virginia possesses advantages
for the building of spreading city; Gold
Hill has greater natural obstacles in this
particular. The steep hills come close about
its location; but when YOU look along the
streets of Virginia and observe the wonder
full improvements Of last year, you may turn
and overlook Gold Hill to witness an equally
wonderful improvement in the even tenn
pered, un5oastful, Industrious and hcayy
treasure yielding Town.

STUPIDITY OF VERD1cT.-The following
story of twelve gentlemen Of the jury in
England, who sat upon the case Of man
found dead in sand pit, surpasses, in the
stupid faulty Of the jurors, anything which

returned a verdict of manslaughter. The
coroner recapitulated the testimony adduced,
and sent them back. They re-entered the
