CHINESE VERACITY.-In q Justice
Court, in this city, the other day, a
very good thing happened, which was
duly appreciated by all present. A
Chinaman was being tried for exhibit
ing deadly weapons in n threatening
manner ut another moon-eyed Asiatic.
During the progress of the trial, the
attorney for the defense, not being ex-
actly satisfied with the contradictory
evidence which was bearing rather
against his client, asked the CELESTIAL
who was acting as interpreter if Chi
namen. under oaths, administered be-
fore our judicial tribunals would tell
the truth. "Oh, no." replied John
'sChinamen lie, allie same as you lie
allie same as any Mclean lie y The
attorney waved his hand for the wit
ness to 60 ahead with his testimony,
but before the trial could proceed the
officer had to enforce order.-Petalmma

TuE accounts from Washington are
to the effect that the bill in relation to
the Mint reduces the maximum vast
age to the Mint from 2-l00Oths to
4-lOOOths on silver, and to 1s-l0OOths
on gold. and stops refining OIL the part
of the Government. The reduction is
very large in the allowance, and has
probably been guided by the actual
wastage under the skillful and careful
operations ut the san Francisco Mint

RECENT LEaAr. DEcrsIoNs.-The
Registers Court of Philadelphia, Pres
ident Judge Allison delivering the
opinion, has recently decided that a
declaration written in pencil in 4 re-
ceipt book to the following effect 81
do not wish any Of my brothers chill
drcn to have any of my estate" does
not constitute q will, although signed
at the end thereof by the alleged testa-
tor. The Court held that mere mega
tive words In 4 will are not sufficient
to exclude the heirs or next Of kin,
and that there must be an actual gift
to some other definite person or object.
This principle applied to the fact that
the writing expressed a mere negative
intent rs 70 certain persons, and did
not possess the form and characters
ties Of n will, 1t was decided to be a
fatal objection to the admission Of the
paper to Probate.

satisfied, when with little extra trouble
they. have every variety of Vegetables
that grow in this country. We hope the II

but an ornament to their farms.

4Hr. Ea,tor:-I am glad the ques-
ton has been publicly preached,
who shall represent us in the next
Congress; and while some seem to
think it difficult question, others do
not. The State of Iowa owes it to her
credit to be represented by her best
men, and no portion OF it more than
the fourth district. Other States
will send sufficient of dishonest. dis
reputable men, those who barter
principle and trust for money and
patronage. Iowa cannot afford to
do it; we have too much At stake. A
State is judged by its Representa-
tives, and Iowa's SHOULD be above
suspicion.
In the denomination OF Judge
Loughridge, We secure, first, an hon
est man, second, an able man, third,
an experienced man, fourth, faith
full man, fifth, man who is, on all
public questions, in harmony with
the sentiment Of tho great bulk Of
his constituents, sixth, man who,
knowing the wants OF his immediate
constituents, sets to work, and, il
reasonable, obtain it for them. The
above propositions are beyond con-
troversy. Having all the qualifica-
tons necessary, why is a change de-
sired? For rotation, no other rcas-
on. Will any business man refuse
to hire an assistant simply because
he has had him one or two years? II
he has been an honest, able, expe-
rlenced and faithful assistant, he will
be re engaged for those virtues alone.
Now, apply to public servants the
rule we apply to private ones, and we
will be we'll served. Let faithfull-
ness, and integrity and consequent
experience be the road to favor.
The friends OF Judge Loughiidge
are met with the charge that he sue
cceded against Mr.. Grinnell on the
sole ground OF the two term princl-
pie, or rule. No man in lama coun.
ty can raise that objection, because
lama voted for Mr.. Grinnell as
against that rule. and Mr.. Grinnell
was not defeated because of that, but
because his usefulness was waning.
Had tho news Of the assault Of Rous-
seau on him been received before
the final vote was taken, Grinnell
would have been rc-nominated IN
spite Of that rule. (Thc Citizen is
mistaken about the nomination be-
ing after the assult.)
II the usefulness OF Judge Tough
ridge is waning, drop him. 1t we
must have change, Gov. Stone is
not tho man. He may be the most
attentive man to business in The
district, his career as Governor does
not prove it. He may be an able
