How an Expert Identified . Forged
signature.

Not many months ago a case was
tried in the Supreme Court in a neigh
boring county, in which the genuine
ness of the signatures to 4 number OF
promiSsory notes were contested. One
witness who witnessed the signatures
to the notes pronounced his name as
appearing on one Of the larger notes, a
forgery. The ablest experts declared
that they could see no difference in the
autographs. The witness stoutly per-
sisted that the one he designated was a
forgery. Careful tests were applied.
The notes were shuihed and dealt to
him and he instantly picked out the
fraudulent paper. The papers were
then overlaid In such n manner rs to
show only the attested names, and
without a moment of hesitation he drew
out the same paper. Every test which
the ingenuity Of the lawyers could de-
wise, was applied, with the same re-
suit, and the case went to the jury.
After the case was closed one of the
counsel gave the papers a careful eS-
animation, when it was found that the
disowned signature had been pune
tured with q pin between the letters,
but the mark was so exceedingly small
that it had escaped q Of prying
eyes, yet to the Witness experienced
vision it was "plain as a pike-statf."

As IL In explicit answer to the
Northern Democratic journals that are
asserting that JEFF Davis speaks only
for himself, and represents no con-
stituency, a correspondent writes to
the Chattanooga (Tenn.l Times:
We of the South cannot allow our
selves TO he lectured by any n who
Is unable to conceive, even to the
slightest degree, the feelings of deep
grief which Hills the souls Of those who
have fought for the right, and have
been overpowered by what they con-
sclentiously and religiously believe to
De wrong. Jefferson Davis still has
the love and admiration, as well as
the confidence, OF every true South
erner, and it will probably be we'll for
the Times, in the future, to bear this
In mind.

r,v raEArY OF WASHINGTON

The London Times Of June LIST, con-
,ains an interesting article comment
ing upon the course Of the negotiations
pursued by the members Of the Joint
High Commission, and says that the
methods adopted for arriving at ami
cable conclusions were remarkable,
chiefly for their great simplicity. The
Times says that in former ages the art
Of diplomacy, like the art Of strategy
was full of ingenious shifts and Skill
full maneuvres, and that no important
treaty was signed without a prelimi-
nary competition in duplicity between
the plenipotentiaries OF the various
parties to 1t, and adds that interna-
tional disputes being now affairs Of
nations as we'll as of courts, diplomacy
has become u much less scientific craft,
and that it is even beginning to be ac-
knowledged that candor and integrity
are positive qualifications for 1t. With
the exception of Sir Edward Thorn
ton, the English Minister at Washing
ton, the Times says not one Of the
negotiators had been trained as a d.
plomatist, and expresses the opinion
that all the Commissioners, both Eng
lish and American, would have fallen
lamentably short in the capacity for
assimilation of the standard required
by Philip de Confines, the accom-
plished agent Of the crafty and cruel
Louis Nj, Of France. The conse-
quence of this absence ofdissimulation,
says the Times, was that plain speak
ing was the order of the day ; and that
words, instead Of serving the purpose
of conceallng thoughts, were employed
throughout, as in ordinary converse
ton, to bring the opposite points OF
view into the clearest possible light.
The Times expresses the opinion that
the express terms Of the appointment
Of the Commissioners, by which they
were empowered to recommend ian
amicable settlement of all causes Of
difference between the two countries
and not only Of 1.-THE claims generally
known as the Alabama Claims" were
probably conducive to a general agree
ment. The Times also adds that there
are cases in which 1t is easier to close
the whole Of NJ account by a compro,
mise, than 1t is to close some part Of
it, and that when two nations thus
expressed their desire to extinguish
all outstanding grudgcs and grievan-
ces they had already gone more than
half way to attain their object. The
Times then illustrates the above re-
marks and principles BY following the
processes adopted by the Commission
ers in laying down the rules Of arbi-
tration, and in arriving at other con-
illusions which are to bind the arbi-
traitors hereafter to be appointed.

Why Is Mr.. Bowen, who has been
proved guilty Of marrying two or three
wives, sent to the Albany Penitentlary
for n couple of years? Are there no
jails In the part of the South where he
came from? There Is little doubt OF
Mr.. Bowen's guilt Of bigamy. A man
of his intelligence and social position
has no excuse for marrying three wives.
We are told there is nothing prepos-
sessing about him, yet his last wife
clings to him. When the sentence was
pronounced she said : eff he did 1t, /
did it. If he Is to be sentenced, please
sentence me. You have no right, your
Honor, before God Almighty, to visit
punishment on him alone for what |
did also. With that record In my hand,
1 stand before this Court and, before
my God. I procured it. If irregular,
If invalid, we are nc. In fault. Oh!
sentence me; l cannot part from him ~
Whenever will the Courts Of this coun-
try sentence Brigham Young for mar
rying thirty or forty wives? There is
bigamy for you!.

wha, Railrond. are D.inE for "Lo.'


"Gris" Is travelling in the Western
country, and illustrates the difference
between the modern Indian and the
" %untutored" savage known to ro-
nance. in the following observation:
Pictures in the old geography repre-
sent the Indian standing solitary and
In n melancholy attitude on q rock,
gazing In n sad, reflective way upon a
train OF cars speeding along the valley
below. He seemed to be weeping to
see the steam horse invading his hunt
ing grounds, and overcome with gloomy
forebodings as to his future. 1 saw this
lonely Indian at the railroad depot this
morning. He was grumbling because
the train was a few minutes behind the
time, and cursed the depot agent In
good missionary English because he
didn't hurry up and check his baggage.
He looked delighted when he saw the
train coming, Shook hands with the
conductor when it arrived, and Dor
rowed a "chaw %terbacker" from a
brakeman, and as the train moved
away l saw him comfortably stretched
out on two seats, eating peanuts and
reading the Days DoiRgs.
