Is ii Far ?-We desire to ask a ques-
ton of this community, knowing that there
are men here with sufficient honesty to con-
slider it, regardless of political prejudice.
George Chahoon is being tried for forgery,
said to have been committed by him, or to
the utterance of which he was said to be a
party. One Jones is said to have been in
possession of the note at one time, and SO
satisfactory has been the proof to establish
it, that he is now in custody and will be
tried for the offence. Several times his
case has been called for trial and as often
continuation what? Let the fact that he
is now a competent witness against Cha
hoon, answer.
He has testified, and we presume will
now be tried. In his testimony, he denied
ever having seen the note, and yet he is fol-
lowed by three different parties, who de-
clare that Jones did have the note. Could
we expect less from him than a denial OF
its possession, when to acknowledge il
would be equivalent to confession of guilt,
likely to result in his conviction OF course
not. Is it not persecution to make a wit
ness of this man? If he is to be used as a
Commonwealth witness, proceedings
against him should have been stopped. The
testimony of Jones contradicts the state
mcnt made by I'll. S. Merrill, ESQ.,, previous
to his death, that he (Jones) had offered to
negotiate the note with him. We see no
reason why Chahoon had not as well be
permitted to testify as some who have, who
will be used in this case, then prosecuted
afterwards for frauds and forgeres connect
ed with the present case.

The Case Of J. C. Jones before Justice
WhHe.-This case, by Justice White, was
finally disposed of this morning. Jones, it
will be remembered, was sometime ago
arrested and brought here from New York,
upon requistion of the Governor, to an
swcr the charge of being connected with
the lIaunsten note, said to be a forgery.
Notwithstanding this fact, and that he was
under, arrest, the Commonwealth intro
duced him as witness against George
Chahoon, and his evidence was heard last
evening"
The following evidence was elected from
witnesses for the Commonwealth:
ID. b. White, being sworn, testified that
he had seen the note in question, but was
not certain that Jones had it. A person
came into Chahoon's office, in 1866, think
Jones the NAM with this note in his pos
session, which he left with Chahoon for col
lection, after some conversation with him as
to his fec. | am not certain that Jones is
the man.

III revenue scrape | asked him why he
did not employ Chahoen he said he would
not do him justice, for he had given him a
note for 81 900 for collection, which Cha
noon thought was not altogether right.
Mr.. Charles was severely cross-examined
by Jones himself
William Christian stated that he had nev-
cr seen the note. In July or August, 1867,
he was in the office of Thomas Bowden,
and was introduced to a man by the name
OF Jones. Bowden went out, leaving Jones
and himself together, when the two engaged
in conversation. asked him how Cha
hoon was getting on, he having an office in
the same building with Bowden; he said,
very well, he had lately collected 81 900 for
him (Jones) from some estate.
AT this stage of the evidence, Jones asked

ly replied, 81 did,"
Mr.. Jones asked that this statement of
the witness be recorded.
Mr.. Christian here said, "Jones, you are
the man."
Mr.. Charles, being recalled, stated that
he was certain Jones was the man; he
wore a moustache at that time, but no
whiskers.
After hearing all the evidence, the Justice
decided to send Jones on for indictment,
but admitted him to bail in the sum of
81 800.

EMANCIPATION OF SLAVES IN BRAZL.--The Bra
lillian Chambers have voted in favor of the eman-
eipa'ioh OF slaves by majority of twenty-eght.
This nineteenth century well deserves to
be known as the epoch of emancipation
the supplement of the civilization which
dates from the advent upon earth of Him
whose coming was heralded as one bringing
peace on earth, good will to men," One
by one, governmental and legalized despot-
lSns have disintegrated to downfall, and
passed away, leaving nothing but dark
blemishes ON the histories of the countries
where they had prevailed; and now Brazil
compliments the emancipation of the Afri-
can race, and sounds the last l1nell of q
legalized barbarism, which-unlike mercy,
Fan attribute to God HIMSELF" which
"blesseth him who gives and him who
takes"-has cursed him who gave and him
who took.
Strange how infexible are the DEGREES of
Providence and how complete history shows
us, the execution of them against defiant
wrong-doers. Stubborn resistance, deter
mlnation to refuse obedience to the Divine
law, has always failed most disastrorsly to
the most defiant, and the rule is of uniycl-
sal application. Louis Napoleon attempted
to roll back the tide Of emancipatory reyo-
luton; and pleasing the eye and tickling the
fancy of the masses, by ostentatious ma
terial progress, he stealthily but steadily
strove to strip them of their legitimate
rights, absorbing all power to himself.
Free political discussion was frowned down
and represscd, while atheistic and pseudo
scientific discussion was not only tolerated
but encouraged, resulting, as it always does,
In communist extravaganza, which has
made Paris Qhe chez nous of Frenchmen)
charnel house, and those who have escaped
from its horrors, dreaded outcasts.
In this country, a like attempt to roll
back the tide of revolution, by insisting that
all should bow to slavery and slave-hold-
ers, resulted in the same disastrous way.
Like Gessler, they set their plumed SYM
Dol in the public places and ordered all to
bow to it.; but their fate was like Gessler's
a Tell sprung forth from every point
where freedom stood with her free Bible,
free thought, and free discussion. The ar
rogant Gesslers were overthrown, and their
boosted cornerstone" uprooted, ground
them to powder.
THE mills of God grinds slowly, but they grind
exceeding small; "a
Though with patience He stands waiting, with
eXactness grnds He an
