THE SIGNATURE OF THE Cross
The mark which persons who are
unable to write are required to make
instead of their signatures, is in the
form of Il cross: aud this practice,
having formerly been followed by
kings aud mobiles, is constantly re.
ferred to as an instance of the de-
plorable ignorance of ancient times.
This signature is not, however, in
variably Il proof of snch ignorance.
Anciently the use of the mark was
not confined to illiterate persons; for
among the Saxons the cross, as an
attcstation of the good saith of the
persons signing, was required to be
attached to the signature Of those
who could not write, or even read, his
knowledge was considered proof pre-
snmptive that he was in holy orders.
The clericus, or clerk, was synony-
nous with penman ard the laity,
or people who were not clerks, did
not feel and urgent necessity for the
use of letters. The ancient use of
the cross was, therefore, universal,
alike by those who could. and those
who could not write; it was, indeed,
the symbol ofan oath, from its sacred
associations, as well as the mark gen.
orally adopted. Hence the origin
of the expression, "God save the
mark" is form of ejaculation ap-
proachinS the character of an oath.

EAST OF THE MOUNTAINS.

Gar6elde's strikers on the Sound admit
that he has sustained severe losses in that
part Of the Territory, but claim that these
are more than offset by gains made East
Of the mountains. As usual, this is all
bosh. At the election two years ago, the
Democrats had q candidate who was per-
sonally unpopular in this county, and as a
result the returns showed an apparent
gain for Gir6elde. and on this vote his
Sound strikers claim great popularity for
him in Waila Waila county, than which
nothing could be further from the fact.
Give the Democrats an acceptable candi-
date-O. B. McFaddcn, for instance-and
we can carry this county against Gar6cIde
by not less than three hundred majority.
We speak what we know. Garfelde never
was popular iu this county, and is now less
popular than at any previous period in his
history. All the promises he made to
leading radicals in this county previous to
his election have been forfeited, and on
this score alone he has many lukcwaru,
supporters in his own ranks. Through
the influence of ex Governor Sal"mou, he
obtained the votes of number of German
Democrats in this county, who were per-
suaded against their own better judgment
to vote for the silver-tongued orator. "
Now every one of these Germans are
against him, and will labor actively to Sc
cure his defeat. Another class of citizens,
not Of any fixed politics, voted for Gar
fielde thinking that through his ability he
could accomplish more f,r the Territory
than any other man named for the place
They have now given him three years.
trial. and fud that instead Of doing more
he has done even less than the worthless
Flanders, and SO this class of voters will be
found against him in the next canvass.
Another element of weakness is the fact
that at the last election he promised np.
pniutmcnts" to nearly every leading radi-
cal in this county. These promises, with
scarce an exception, have been disregard
cd. and as result the best workers 10 the
radical party in this county have soured
on him" This is the exact condition Of
the Delegates prospects in this quarter Of
the Territory, aud any statement TO the
contrary may be emphatically branded as
