- Let Us Have Peace -

We have had many cheering indications OF
late of the subsistence Of the animosities epgen-
dered by the rebellion. In recognizing this
gratifying fact, the Richmond Whig a conser-
vatiye journal, says that the late message of
the President was altogether free from acrims-
NOUS references to " the rebellion and from
any suggestion of stringent measures for the
southern states; that, on the contrary, his re-
commentator Of general amnesty looked in the
other direction, and showed that in his opinion
nothing remained to be done but to close up the
sectional strife forever by this act of amnesty
and oblivion.
The Wig gives the following among other in
dications OF the restoration Of good feeling:
THE House of Represe natives took prom NJ
ection in the line indicated by the President,
and passed general amnesty measure by an
doubtless at an early day take up nd pass the
House bill-a bill by which Mr.. JeffS-son Davis
himself will be restored to eligibility to any
ONCE in the gift of the people.
The reception accorded at Washington to
MI Stephens, of Georgia the vice president of
The late southern cOnfederacy. the preference
unanimously awarded him in the selection of a
seat IN the House of which he il q member the
attentions paid to him by men of all sections
and pai ties. and by the highest dignitaries of
the government, NAV also be cited a. further
evidence OF the restoration of good feeling
so lar As Virginia Is particularly concerned
The President has evinced a marked considera-
uon for the sensibilities of her people in regard
70 Federal appointments which is honorable to
him."
The TIiq indorses the appointment of Hon
James Lyons as L. s. District Attorney for the
eastern district of Virginia, and says that al
though he IS not a conservative he is a Virgin
ian. and bel rs an bonored name.
The Richmond Enquirer, also conservative,
in referring TO Mr.. Lyons appointment, says
1.-THE political attitude of Mr.. Lyons for some
time past has not been such as to meet the ap-
prOval of his old party associates. But as q
gentleman OF exalted virtue, man OF intellect
and attsinments, and q lawyer of learning and
eminence, he is highly regarded by the people
OF Virginia. And for this reason he should take
the office that Is offered him. The duties of that
Office should have, and with Mr. Lyons filling it
we believe would have, no connection with
party politics. The administration has acted
well in rendering II TO him. And we hope Mr..
LYONS will not decline it,

The AMENDE Harry"
Meiggs, well known to most old Caifor-
mans, many years ago. it will be remem-
bered, left this State for South America,
where he amassed large fortune by his
enterprise in building railroads; first COM
mencing with the Chilian Government,
and subsequently building largely for
the Peruvian Government. When Mr..
Meiggs left California he was financially
embarrassed. He owed a balance of ac-
count to Mr.. George f. Walter-a well
known tailor of our city-of 1896 so. Mr..
Walter was for long time sick and in
capacitated for business. During this pc
riod he addressed letter to Mr.. Meiggs,
stating his condition, and that any por-
ton Of the amount would be very accep-
table. Mr.. Meiggs Immediately RENTED
the full amount of said balance with in
terest at 10 per cent. to date, amounting
in all to the handsome sum Of $1,007 81.
This is only one of his many like acts
which could be cited. Resources Of Calj-

A HARD WINTER FOR THE Poor
A dispatch from New York dated Octo-
Der 3Ist says A hard winter is expected
for the working classes. 1t has been de-
termined to call a meeting at the Cooper
Institute and ask aid for mechanics and
working people through the Winter.
The managers of charitable institutions
say the poorer classes are applying in in
creased numbers to them for relief The
institutions are every where crowded, and
every indication is seen ofa terrible Win
ter on laboring classes. The institute
tions now public ly appeal for aid to help
them to relieve the wants and suffarinrs
of the starving people who have been
thrown out of employment in conse-
quence Of the money stringency, as their
funds and appropriations are exhausted.
The Children's Aid Society reports more
than the usual amount of suffering among
families. The Workingmens Protective
Union says that applications for help
have fallen off three-q quarters since the
P"i'iS anu application lot ana increased
fourfold. All the benevolent societies
complain Of being harder pressed than
ever they experienced before, and it is
feared that unless substantial help is ex-
tended some must close their doors.
This is the darkest side OF the panic. In
all branches of industry workmen and
workwomen will suffer during the COM
ing Winter. Wages and force must be
reduced, and manufactures and work.
shops be closed.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

JOURNALISTIC DEBAUCHERY.r--The
Cdu, of one day last week had an article
under this head. the tenor of which was
that the press Of this State had been de-
bauched by the use Of money to favor the
interests of the Central Pacific, in the
late elections and in the course of the
article asserted that as high as $4,000
had been paid to one journal for its sup
posed influence. The article was copied
into and commented on by the Union.
If the Dolly Warden organs know this to
be fact, why do they not come out at
once and point out the journals which
have, for money consideration, advo-
Gated measures, or parties, or interests,
which are so obnoxious to the welfare Of
the people, that it is only through pur-
chase that they can obtain friends and
supporters? ? We can answer that ques-
tion-it is because they cannot name the
journals. If it lay in their power to brand
any paper as being bribed, it would have
been done long ago. But the safety of a
charge Of this character is in the fact of
its being a general one. 1t is so easy to
howl at those journals which have no
private malice against the Central Pacific
to crafty, and are therefore disposed to
advocate what they deem for the public
veal whether it is pleasing to the would
be dictators of the press or not; but it is
not so easy to make one Of these charges
specific, for its falsity could be at once
exposed.
The mission of public jonrnal is to
labor for what it deems the best interests
of the State and locality in which it is
published. 1t but lily fulils that mission
if it allows its course to be Influenced by
popular feeling if it is convinced that that
feeling is wrong. 1t may proclaim its
adherence TO what the general public
may deem wrong, and yet its motives be
as pure as though it sided in with the
strongest party. The newspaper which
advocates the wrong side of a question, /
knowing it to be the wrong side, holds
the same position to its patrons that
demagogical politician does to a constitu-
ency-a prostitution Of the sense of right
and wrong to personal gain. Such we
know to be the case with some of our ex.
changes, whose gymnastic movements to
drop on the strong side have been pleasing
TO behold.
1t is the worst phase of Journalistic
debauchery" which constantly endeavors
to malign and belittle the motives of all
those who do not coincide with a journal
in its approval or disapproval Of some
certain subject Of public interest. Which
gauges mems motives by its own narrow
standard; which believes, or affects to
believe that none can entertain an honest
opinion differing from its own.
This is the style Of journalism adopted
by portion Of the "Independent" press,
which having first, by misrepresentation
and mis-statements created a false public
sentiment, assails all who do not follow
in its lead as creatures Of the monopoly"
and "subsidized railroad organs" Now
let us have done with this kind of jour-
nalism, if there are newspapers which |
sell their columns to aid in expressing the |
people, let Us know which ones do it.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1873-11-08

UNJUST DIsCRIMINATIoN.-We find
at last specific charge against the Cen
tral Pacific. A Stockton firm had goods
shipped them from New York direct to
Stockton, expecting to pay the through
rates Of freight, in the same manner as
Sacramento merchants. In addition,
however, to full San Francisco rates, the
local rates from Sacramento to Stockton
we're added.
This is an unjust determination against
a place, which calls for legislative action
Railroads are common carriers and have
no right to discriminate against places or
individuals. To give them that power
wonld be TO give them the privilege of
crushing out Of business any firm, or any
town against which their managers con-
ceiyed i'll will. 1t is not to be expected
that railroads can carry freight or pas
sengers for the same rates on every di-
vision Of its line. Such matters are reg
ulated by the amount Of its business, the
difficulties TO be overcome, etc. But if a
true statement Of this Stockton case has
been given, it shows state of affairs
which demands speedy legislative action.
Such a charge laid at the door Of the rail-
road company carries greater weight to
the minds OF iair-meaning men, than
columns Of general charges WHICH are
fairly presumed to be dictated by malice.

A "SELL."-The San Francisco pa
pers Of last week teemed with notices
that Prof" Lay would ascend from the
City Gardens on Sunday in a balloon,
that he would be accompanied by his
bride elect and a Justice of tho Peace to
perform the wedding ceremony at the
hight Of eco feet. Over six thousand peo-
pie went out to the Gardens to witness
thc affair, and the balloon went upat the
appointed hour-but without the Protes-
sor, the bride, or the legal iunctionary.
The attendant six thousand were nicely
sold.

PATENT "OUTsIDEs. Tho papers
printed on the "co-operative plan," that
is, have the outside pages printed by
firm in San Francisco are very sensitive
if any allusions TO the fact are made by
their contemporaries. Yet it cannot be
denied that those papers which have
adopted the plan are not so readable, nor
do they come up to the standard of what
IS looked for in a country journal. A To-
cal paper is supported by n community
from the very fact that it is local, papers
containing ten times the amount of read
ing matter Of general character, can be
bought with the money represented by
the subscription price Of the home journal.
An interior paper should be entirely un-
der the control Of its editor-then its out
side columns can be used for any variety
of matter he may choose to print in them.
This, Of course, varies with the pressure
Of news or usincss-sometimes a rush of
advertising patronage will crowd all
matter OF literary character out and
candor compels us to say that most Of the
selections we notice in the papers which
have adopted the plan, might just as well
be crowded out for all the interest they
possess.
The ''patent outside" I" business is injur-
ing the general country newspaper bust
ness, and nobody is benefited by it except
the printers who form the San Francisco
Newspaper Union. 1t Injuries them
through the loss of San Francisco adYer-
tisng, which is contracted for for all the
papers printed by the Union at very low
rates. Therein it has injured those coun-
try papers who have not adopted the
plan. The San Francisco advertising
of country journals now amounts to moth
ing compared to what it was two or three
years ago. 1t is gratifying fact, how
ever, to see that the plan is not MS popu-
lar as it was at first, and that some of the
papers by which it was Mt first adopted
are beginning to see that it is not the course
for an enterprising, energetic publisher
to follow.

HRS Us.-The financial panic is likely
to have a depressing effect upon one of
California's greatest interests. The tele-
graph reports the wool trade in New
York and Boston to be almost in state
of stagnation. The only sales last week
were small lots taken up for immediate
consumption. Manufacturers are not
making full time, and their wants are
readily supplied from the small offerings
made by the weaker houses, at prices be-
low the nominal range of the markets.

on suspicion Of being the fourth of the

fact is against him.
