The Republican organ of this
city never intermits an opportunity
of saying mean and malignant
thing about an ex-Confederate. In
its issue of Saturday it had some
comments founded on q charge,
which is probably untrue, made by
the Sacramento Sun, that, by some
hocus-pocus of the enrolling or en-.
crossing clerk of the House, an
island in the Sacramento river,
which, by the new law, was attache ed
to San Joaquin county, was left UNI
attached, thus securing immunity
to Haggin from taxation for two
years. This may or may not have
been done; but, on the strength Of
the allegation, this Republican
journal proceeds to heap abuse upon
Gen. John b. Cosby, an ex-Con-
fsderate General, as the author of
the iniquity. The dastardly char
acter Of this attack upon Gen.

nese to become citizens of the
United States came up in the
United States Circuit Court to. day
on application of four Mongolians,
through their attorneys, b. S.
Brooks and f. A. Bee, for papers of
citizenship. They were of two
classes, one for a man who came to
the State under legal age and the
Others on declarations of intentions.
The Clerk OF the Court refused the
applications, referring the appli-
cants to the Court. The facts of
the case were stated in open Court.
Several of the attorneys presented
briefs and expressed an opinion in
the matter. After arguments by
Brooks, Preston and Sol Heyden-
feldt, Jr., the Court took the cases
under advisement.

WE have heretofore said that we
have seen no explanation from Mr..
Frank Pixley. the editor of the
Argonaut, of his surrender to Kear-
ney at the Platts Hall meeting.
We have read his abuse of Kear-
ney, which is almost as choice as
that of the orator of the Sand Lots,
or of the Widow Moriarty, the re-
doubtable opponent Of O'Connell,
herself; we have read Mr.. Denis
Kearney's counter.abuse, which
has a fine flavor of the stews. We
repeat that we have held our nose
and read both of these choice effu-
slons Of Billingsgate, in which the
scholarly Pixley just barely man
aged to achieve victory over the
unlettered Kearney by being lit
tie more of a blackguard than he,
but we have failed to discover any
where any excuse for Pixley's lack
of manhood at that Platt's Hall
meeting. Pixley's pusillanimity
is further outlined by Col. w. H.
L. Barnes's testimony in the Hayes
trial. Col. Barnes said:
Mr.. Pixley arose to his feet to
make some observations, and
1 thought he was going to make an
attack upon Kearney, but he SEEM
ed to turn about as he went up on
the stage; Kearney seemed to mag
netize him; he shook hands with
Kearney and thanked him for al
lowing him to speak, and Kearney
had him appointed Secretary of the
meeting, and when Mr.. Kearney
wanted anything read, he would
turn around and say, "Pixley,
come here" and Pixley would 60
there say, "Pixley, read
this" and Pixley would read, and
Kearney would take it away, and
say, Ego back" and Pixley went
back. And then l thought Pixley
was going to speak against the
Spring Valley Company; and then
he did, and then he didn't; and al
together I don't know exactly
where Pixley was, except that l
saw him on the stage.
We may be permitted to ask, in
conclusion, whether this is the same
Pixley who threatened to jump
down Gen. La Oranges throat and
kick his CUTS out? The language
and the threat were his own. They
spoke of Bobadil, but Of Bobadi

clined to be party to inaugural
ing the crusade against him. He
could easily have caused both
O'Brien and the Times to have
drawn offby winking at their con-
templated fraud on the public, but
he did not think it worth while as
the terrible pencil of Mast had be-
gun its work, and he did not re-
gard the Harpers as approachable.
Mr.. Tweed said he had regarded
In its proper light the calamity OF
enlisting against himself the act
i've enmity Of the Harpers. He
had theoretically opposed the ac-
ton of the Board of Supervisors, in
throwing out the Harpers' series OF
school books from the public schools,
which had precipitated the issue.
The Harpers wreaked their whole
vengeance upon him for an act for
which he was not only not respon-
sible but which he had strenuously
opposed.
He next called our attention to
the fact that, in all his cartoons,
Mast had never introduced the
slightest reference to Ingersoll, who
was as fully in the Ring us Tweed
himself. He asked us if we bad
remarked that. We replied that
we had not, but that, on reflection,
we remembered that it was so.
Tweed then said that Mast and In
gersoll were boon companions;that
they often went OH junketiug par
ties together; that Mast was as poor
q painter as he was an excellent
caricaturist, and that Ingersoll
was in the habit of giving him
enormous prices for his daubs.
This fact explained Nasts forbear-
ance in his case. He never had, and
probably never would, introduce
Ingersoll into his cartoons.
Mast, Tweed said, was exceed
ingly clever, but as mercenary
as clever. He himself had once
entertained the idea of establishing
great illustrated Democratic
paper as a counterpoise to Harper's
Weekly. Through Ingersoll he had
ascertained Nast's perfect willing
ness, for coin, to transfer his pen
Gil from the Republican to the
Democratic side. He had, however,
given up the plan.
Tweed, to those whom he thought
it worth his while to conciliate,
could be very charming host. He
had the virtues of frankness and
outrightness. His celebrated
What are you Going to Do about
It," was perfectly characteristic OF
the man. His career is striking
illustration of the scriptural aphor-
ism that riches take to themselves
wings. Charles XII had his Pull.

that ever figured in municipal poll
itics, found at last the Ludlow
street Jail.

Hanglnen and the GaIlows

Formerly hangmen were of the best
families. FrOissart says that the Earl
of Arundel was hung by his sOn-in-
law, the Earl of Marshal. The hang
mans dress was peculiar. He wore a
clean white apron, and if he beheaded
a State criminal was dubbed Esquire
all the rest of his life. So it was no
small honor in olden times to be hang
man, and there is a recorded instance
of a certain lady, wife of a hangman,
who said, "that any bungler might put
a man to death, but her husband alone
knew how to make a man die sweetly."
This lady died shortly after. The Ro-
mans, however, as well as the Germans,
did not esteem that official in such high
repute, as they did not allow him to re-
side in town, although the gallows
were always within the city limits.
The gallows is a very old institution.
1t dates back to the days of COnstan-
tine the Great, who abolished crucifix-
ion. 1t is not a pleasant thing for a
man to have in his household, yet Gun
the Great, an Italian Lord of the four
teenth century, had n erected IN the
front of his house, and repaired it each
year, and in France gallows used to
stand before the houses of the terrific
rial %Seigneurs, and as of single, double
or triple frame, so they indicated the
rank of their owner to be that of a gen.
tleman, knight or baron. In carly days,
gallows, especially those in English
vogue, had hooks attached for the pur-
pose of eviscerating aud quartering the
bodies of the criminals. Those barba-
rous appendages have long since been
abolished, and the gallows of to-day is
a very simple sort of an affair. Two
upright posts with a cross-beam make
the framework; two cross-pieces, fas-
tened into the principal posts, and re-
ceiving the hinges, which fold horizon
tally make the platform. The traps
are generally supported by a centre
prop constructed OF the principle of
the carpenters rule. And generally
to secure the safety of the platform,
two temporary props are arranged near
the outer edge of the trap. The step
ladder rests upon the left side as You

Anecdotes.

Gen. Clingman, of North Carolina
in speaking in relation to the use OF
anecdotes, said: In 1874 | attended /,
Wing barbecue at Knoxville, Tenn
The morning speeches had been mad,
by Hon. John Bell and myself, and tn,
large audience had partaken of tn,
barbecue. On our return to the stanC
a gentleman of high position spoke fol
nearly three hours in such a manner a,
to keep us in excellent humor, ant
created almost incessant laughter, anC
we broke up In the best spirits. On tn,
next morning, Senator Spencer Jcrna.
gan spoke for two hours to a very at.
tentive audience, without, however
even causing a smile in the vast as.
sembly. After he concluded a promi,
nent Tennessee politician said 10 me.
referring to Jernagan, Gle is the man
to whom w owe the revolution In East
tennessee" | asked, inquiring if the
gentleman who had spoken the evening
before did not help also. He replied,
ono; he is a fine man for a rally, bui
he never makes us vote"
In 1860 | was present at a barbecue
at which a young gentleman occupied
most of the day. He possessed a good
memory, had learned almost all the
campaign anecdotes that were retailed
during that campaign, and rehearsed
them amusingly. After he had fin
ished IN the evening an intelligent
gentleman remarked to me, "This day
has been completely lost to us" He
was right in his view. Had a good
band played pleasant airs the assembly
would have been as highly entertained
and Just as decided a political impression
would have been made on it..
In 1872 | had an amusing illustration
of the downward tendency produced
by the fashion now so much in vogue.
A young man whose opportunities to
acquire an education had been limited
but who had commenced the study OF
law, said to me, General, | wish to
know how you great Senators used to
do in the Senate. | wish particularly
to hear about Mr.. Webster; was he not
a mighty man on an anecdote 2" The
question struck me as so ridiculous that
| found it difficult to avoid laughing
A moments reflection, however,
enabled NE to understand now he came
to possess such an idea. A speech
Astounding in anecdotes had a few
weeks previously been made in that re-
gion, and some of the papers stated
that this was the greatest speech hat
had been made since the days of Clay
and Webster. Genuine wit is a highly
intellectual and important faculty. 1t
has been well said that no one ever
laughed aloud at a thing really witty.
The great English debater, Charles
James Fox, was pronounce the With
est mar of his day. His wit was most
strikingly shown when in the course OF
his powerful arguments he so exposed
the positions of his adversaries as to
make themappear Observation-Disclosures.
Mr.. Webster, in a less degree, some
times exhibited this quality. Wholly
unlike, and most demOralizing to the
public taste, is that counterfeit, a spe-
cies of butfOonery, which consists
in retailing anecdotes, after the
fashion of Christy's Minstrels or the
circus-clown, who delivers his jokes
around at his successive performances.
