1T is said that Theodore Tilton is about
to publish statement denying the domes-
tic irregularities charged upon himself and
Others by Mrs. Victoria Woodruff. II will
strike most persons that Theodoie's de.
murrer comes at rather late day, but he
says, in excuse, that he has had his state
ment written for some time, but his chiy-
airy would not permit him to publish it
until Woodruff was out of Jail and able to
put herself in a defensive attitude. 1t is
further said that L. L. at first determined
to ignore the whole matter, but has been
so severely pressed that he has finally con-
cluded to define his position"
We hope he will spare the public any
such infection as a repetition of the charges
referred to. All domestic Irregularities"
should be got out of public sight as soon as
possible, and, when once out, should be
kept out. I. L. had a "soft spot" for
Woodruff at one time, and if he didn't go
"cean daft" over her, the public imagined
no did,, which makes it just as bad as
though he had done so in fact. Things ''un-
der the rose" should be kept there. They
have no fragrance to redeem them when
given to the public.

THERE are some sensible girls down in
Maine, and, il we were young and unmar-
ried, we think we should go in that direc.
ton for wife. In the first class of the
high school in Portland, all the young
ladies, with only two exceptions, have
agreed to adopt for school dress plain,
substantial, and not expensive material.
Overskirts, laces and velvets are TO be
wholly discarded, anC ribbons used only to
limited extent. No jewelry except q
plain pin and one plain ring is to be worn.
The girls agree to wear no other costume
to school between this time and their grad.
uation next June. Among other things
they agree to discard all slang talk, and to
make their English as chaste and pure as
their dress. Those young ladies deserve to
have their names lettered in gold, and if
the teacher of that school will send them
to us we will have it done.

THE people Of Germany threaten to take

THE JCRs TRIAL.

A correspondent writes us that in GER
tain portions of the State Northern man
cannot safely trust his rights to jury.
We trust and believe that this feeling is
fast disappearing, but we cannot in caudor
deny that there are such places. And ii
there were no such prejudice the jury
trial has become miserable farce in many
of our courts.
Tne remedy is to be reached through the
judges. tits the custom in most States
and very wise one--for the judge to
charge the jury upon both the law and the
evidence in every case; pointing out to
tn 70 the proper application Of the law to
the Iacts, and the manner in which the ev.
idence must be clarified, sifted and
weighed. As matter Of Course, if the yer-
diet is in conflict with the tenor Of the
charge, the judge is very apt to Set it aside.
TIE result is, injustice is often prevented !;
for who will doubt the Pr probability Of a man
trained 10 apply law and to sift and weigh
evidence being right, rather than an igno-
rant and prejndIced jury
The trouble in Virginia is, the judges
with perhaps a few exceptionsl do not take
responsibility enough in jury cases. They
attach too great sanctity to the verdict OF
aiury, which, in their own minds, they
often ieel and believe utterly worthless;
yet they tacitly sanction injustice from in
difference or timidity.
a partial remedy is, perhaps, within the
scope of legislative authority. Let judges
be required by law TO write out and file
their charges in all cases when requested
in advance, and the complete remedy would
then be with the Court of Appeals. They
could bring the law Of Virginia up to the
standard of most other states, where it is
held the duty of judges to set all YER
diets aside which they believe to be against
the law or the evidence.
If Northern immigrants are desired or
expected to remain in the STATE and where
they cannot stay a foreigner certainly
should not--they must have some show of
fair play in the courts. Let those interested
see TO it. The current Of migration is now
setting outwardly or from the State rather
than into it. Land is decreasing in value,
and the "poverty that breeds worse than
poverty" psrysdss tho air like an ep!zootic,

a HAPPY CHRISTMAS.

The legislature takes a short recess
today TO erjoy The hol days. We
trust that they will fad the loved ones at
home well and happy, ready to greet
them with cheerful welcome to the merry
Christmas feast. We wish them all posi-
bic enjoyment of the festive season, and
hope they may return to their post of duty
rested, strengthened and inspired with the
determination to do their duty thoroughly
for the people Of the State, without fear OF
favor. Let them look in upon the abodes
OF the humble and the poor, with whom
life is a struggle for bread. Let them lift
the veil from forbidden haunts where vice
consumes the flower of our youth. Let
them not forget the dark places where
doomed felons, expiate crimes against
society. Let them give thought to the
Migrants of the streets for whom no Christ
mas bells ring with glee.
From the charmed circle of happy homes
let them give thought to the uncounted
thousands of our neglected children grow
ing up in ignorance and neglect, to reinforce
the great army of pauperism and vice.
Such contemplations will bring sense Of
the great work to be done. lie will also
suggest remedies for evils too readily given
up as irremediable. Psuperlsm, prosttu-
ton, gambling ,crimein its thousand forms
these are the demons that confront US.
R,rt fhuco ho clair, Hhas,,
monster evils can be overcome. There
are remedies equal to the terriule disease
within the reach of the State. And these
sacred and beautiful days of the Christmas
feast, recalling the birth and life of Him who
lived and walked among the poor and
degraded sons and daughters of men, lcug
and dying to lift them into higher life =
these days are fitting time to remind US
OF sacred but difficult and perhaps to
some unpleasant duties. In the circle OF
home, let each man reflect what dangers
lurk without to blight his present hopes
and lead his loved ones to ruin. Let him
think of the contagion that haunts the
atmo, phere where ignorance and vice rear
their fearful head 1t was to cleanse these
dark places in the worlds life that Christ
came, and the Commemoration Of his COM
ins will never be adequate which does not
turn the hearts Of men to his especial!
work for the lowest and poorest. and even
the most degraded of our race. Here,
then, is work for every man and
woman. and especially for those men
who have been chosen to make
la,US, and to discover remedies for the evils
which afflct society. There is a remedy
for each wrong. No evil is so deeply
rooted, or firmly founded, but it can be
remover. A brave heart touched by hui
nan sorrow a clear head and resolute
will only, are nesled to Danish poverty,
prostitution and all the terrible vices which
now inftst society. We safer because in
doleuce, cowaidlce and prejudice refuse
even seriously to consider the possibility Of
help. Our own Christmas will be happier
if we remember to make that of everybody
else brighter now, and through oil the COM
ing years.
