CALIFORNIA boasts of one righteous judge,
who has just decided that under the four
teenth amendment to the Federal Constitu-
ton, the testimony of a Chinaman is admis-
sible against a white man. This is simple
justice, yet the California Democracy are
violently opposed to simple justice when a
Chinaman is involved in the issue. Hitherto
it has been a custom with the patriotic Demo
Gratis of the Pacific coast to maltreat native
of the Flowery Kingdom whenever an oppor-
tunity presented, and the pastime proved as
harmless as it was diverting, as long as the
evidence of the victim against the perpe-
traitor was inadmissible. The decision of
Judge Sawyer, however, has materially
changed the state of affairs, and hereafter,
when rampageous Democrat feels an ire
sistible inclination TO pummel a squint-eyed
Celestial, there will be wholesome fear of
punishment to restrain him.

MosEBYs DIPUDENoE is rivalled only by the
soundness of his Democracy. He thirsts for
the blood of Colonel w. H. Boyd, a sheriff of
reconstructed Virginia, because the latter has
declared that he ''could prove, in Penn
syyoania, that he (Moseby) was a highway
robber." For this assertion Moseby "now
demands satisfaction, not explanation or
equivocation. Will you fight?" he adds, and,
in conclusion, refers Colenel Boyd to the
ubiquitous Colonel Smith, who has been en-
trusted with ''full authority to act" If Boyd
is a coward, and refuses to be shot at by
Moseby, we hope the latter will ascertain the
fact in time to arrive in this city early to-
morrow morning. He will find ample scope
for his rampant Democratic energies in the
Fourth ward, if the promised ''club-law" en-
tertainment is to come off.

A DESIRABLE ACQUISITION expect that
ex-Secretaries Seward and Walker, and the
other disinterested patriots who are anxious
to purchase the island of St. Thomas for the
trifing sum of ten millions of dollars, will
submit to the Sentae, as an argument in favor
of ratifying the purchase treaty, full and
graphic description of the earthquake which
visited that delectable gem of the ocean on
the 18th of September Between o'clock
in the afternoon and II in the evening, ten
distinct shocks were perceptible and wide
spread terror and dismay took possession of
the people. Many of the public buildings
were injured, the walls of large structures
being frequently shattered by the pranks of
their shaky foundation. An eyewitness of
the subterranean entertainment states that
''there has been nothing like it since the
great earthquake of 1867 Even if we were
not in honor bound to ratify the treaty of
purchase simply because Denmark wishes us
to do so, the desirableness of st. Thomas as
place Of refuge for aged, decayed, and broken
down politicians should be a sufficient argu-
ment with the Senate. Between Alaska and
st. Thomas we might hope, in time, to be
entirely ridden of their presence.
