ANOTHER ENCROAcHMENT.

The Western Union Telegraph company s line of telegraph between Les Angeles and Sar Diego was com Rleted to the latter city on
 the 10th ut. Immediately upon the eomple'
 ton of the work number of congratulatory
 messages were sent over the wires 10 and from
 New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles
 The San Diego Bulletin congratulates "the people Of San Diego and Arizona in particular, and everybody in general, upon the completion of the telegraph to this point, and rejoices that Eve are now in telegraphic cOmmunica' ton. with the whole world"--no other ci.y on the globe enjoying privileges in this connec- ton which San Diego does not likewise enjoy,
 From the tone of the despatch of Mir J. Gamble. Superintendent of the Pacific Divi. sion of the line at San Diego, to Wm Orton, President of the company, in New York, 1t would appear that the next connection of this Western line will be with the Mexican line to the city of Mexico.

Quinn, ths murderer and ravsher of the child Maggie Ryan of San Francisco has been tried, found guilty and sentenced "to the Pen- itentiary for the term of his natural lifs.' Too bad he cheated the gaIows.
New-York tribune., 1870-05-30

A vicious practice has lately grown up among
police officials. The other day merchant was
snatched from his family by authority of a
telegram purporting to be from the Mayor OF
Vicksburg, which charged him with being a
defaulter; and on Saturday two negroes, just
arrived from jacksonville, Fla, were arrested
for larceny which had no better basis. All
of these persons are yet i'll prison, awaiting
proofs of the charges thus loosely and illegally
preferred. In the case of the negroes, Super
intendent Jourdan was satisfied OF their inn0-
ence and sent them before Justice Bowling,
with an intimatiOn of his opinion; but the
magistrate has seen fit to disregard it, and has
| imprisoned two men who, before leaving home,
courted an investigation, which was persistently
I denied them. To make arrests upon tele-
gram is at best dangerous and the risk in
volved should never be assumed except III
cases of murder and the graver felOnies, where
the public safety requires a disregard OF lndl-
vidual rights. Private malice or interest often
has dictated these kilograms, and the officials
acting upon them can never be sure at the
time whether they are serving the ends of
public Justice or are merely the tools of some
personal enemy or importunate creditor. The
whole thing is illegal, and has often worked
glaring Injustice

GOOD-BY. LEATHER STOCKINGS!

There was something infinitely pathetic in
the picture of poor LeatherstOcking, his rifle
on his shoulder plunging into the wilderness,
never to return. But he was right. His in
stinct was a true one. If he had stayed till
the town finished growing up how out of
place he would have been. Civilization hires
her pioneers by the day, provides no asylums
for them, and is often ashamed of them be-
fore she contrives to push them along out of
sight.
We can fancy Leatllerstocking's struggles,
before he fully resolves to go. The very earth
is dear to his feet. Sunsets will not he as
beautiful from any other hills; he will thirst
with endless thirst for water from that spring.
If the boys he has taught and trained are to
be aldermen and mayors of the new city, he
would like to see how well they carry them
selves. He knows by heart every rise and fall
in the ground within ten miles of his cabin.
He knows best where streets should cross and
public buildings stand. How clearly he pictures
" himself the future town. white with marble
New-York tribune., 1870-05-30

The horrible scene in the Bowcry Theater
during a performance prOtracted into yester-
day morning in which an actress was attacked
by one of her performing lions, ought to have
the desirable effect of banishing such savageTy
from the stage. The employment of wild
beasts and the like, beside exposing both
actors and audience to great physical danger,
is debasing morally. In this case, more by
good fortune than anything else, no lives were
lost during the panic which the incident
created but when the lion next chooses to
fasten his fangs in the throat of his mistress
the result may be different.
New-York tribune., 1870-05-30
inc tbev cot their honesty or ability is of no

ing they got their honesty or ability is OF no
more Importance, after they have once come
to trial, than is the preliminary training OF an
athlete At q rowing match we look to see
the stroke; we do not care about the beeves
and loaves on which the young men have fed.
Strength il strength, though it may have been
nurtured contrary to all the rules of training.
In Congress a man is judged by his ability;
where he got it is his own affair To have
abolished Slavery is more than to have written
Lothair y the Fifteenth Amendment Is worth
more to this generation than the twcnty-four
books of Homer; and to weather great civil
war without national bankruptcy is to exhibit
a new Heroic Age. No learning, no "early
advantages" can guarantee wisdom or vir-
tue; and that they can be won without such
advantages we see every day. The nation is
very imperfectly governed rs it il i; but does
any one seriously suppose that a committee of
college presidents would govern it better!
After all, no man can know everything, and
an intelligent man is never ridiculous, except
when he claims to know something which he
does not Let q Congressman, like shoe
maker, stick to his last. A man may be never
so "rractical,n but if he begins to misquOte
with him. Let him hold to English grammar
and American virtue, and he may be safe
Unhappily, it is a malady incident to all pro-
fessions for men to wish to appear strong
where they are weak. Mr. Lillyvick, in "Nich-
"olas Nickleby," who objects to the French Ian
guagc as "a very melancholy dialect, sir" be-
cause he had only heard it spoken by prisoners
in Jail, would have found it more melancholy
still as disguised in the novels of some OF our
young ladies. And our worthy Consul at
Bradford, England, Mr. George NJ. TOwle has
brought all the English critics about his ears
by misquoting the very first line OF VirgllS
Kneid. The critics are right; he need not
have quoted it at all, but, if he chose to give
it, he, e,should have got the line straight. Even
in England a statesman is not now expected
to know all IIOrace's odes by heart as Fox
did; but if a man will play at that game, he
must come under its laws The safest way is for
a man to keep on ground where he is strong.
Nevertheless, Gen. Jackson was Jackson,
though his only Latin phrase, according to
Jack Downing, was "E pluribus unum, sine
"qua non"
