The alarming and threatening communis-
tic troubles in San Francisco appear to be
seriously affecting the value of property In
that city. Money, sure barometer of pub
lie feeling, evidently appreciates the present
threatening condition of affairs on the Pacific
slope. Real estate, however, seems to suffer
most. An auction sale ofreal estate in SanFran-
cisco, the other day was, the correspondent of
the Herald says, a perfect farce, while property
still commands high figure in Oakland, Just
opposite. San Francisco has already suffered
severely from contiagrations, and whenever
the threat Of discriminating the Chinese is
spoken of, there is no doubt in any mind that
the meaning is to burn Chinatown. The ex-
tent of such fire. when once begun, it is hard
to foresee. 1t is dread of such fire that is
driving hundreds of persons away from San
Francisco and destroying the value of all city

THE LOTTERY CASES.

We publish this morning short synopsis
OF the argument of Mr.. Sambola before Judge
Miltenberger in the cases OF Saloy and Sa-
randa, arrested under act No. 8 of 1874, for
selling Havana lottery tickets. 1t is due to
Mr.. Sambola to say that he was not employed
for the defense until the very morning of the
trial, yet his argument was able, learned and
concise, and covered almost the entire ground.
| He makes two points we had not heard sug-
gested before; first, that act No. Is in viola
| ton of article ia, in that the objects of the
law are not expressed in the title, and second,
that act 131 of 1877, creating recorders
| courts Of the city of New Orleans repeats
act No. 9 of 1874 and divests the special iuris-
dicton conferred by that act. This last point,
it seems to us, has great force. Section IL of
act l3l of 1877 confers upon the recorders
courts "full power and authority to enforce
all ordinances of the city of New Orleans"
and to impose fines for the violation of the
same. Granting that act No. 8 is.
technically speaking. an ordinance of the
city, by reference to section 5 of the same act
we see the scope of authority vested in these
courts still further limited That section
says: THAT the said recorders courts hereby
created, and the recorders thereof, shall have
respectively the same jurisdiction as is now
vested by law in the municipal police courts
of the city OF Now Orleans and IN the re-
corders courts formerly by the city charter, etc
Section Is Of the act repeats all laws in
conflict with its provisions, among others,
this act No. Of 1874. which confcrs iuris-
diction not given by the charter to the old
recorders courts.
This, however is mere matter of techni-
cality, and we are glad to remark that Judge
Miltenberger based his able decision upon the
very highest grounds, those which assure the
personal liberty of a citizen, and not those
which treat merely Of the forms and techni
calitics Of legislation.
Mr.. Sambola deserves great credit for the
ability and earncstncss he displayed on this
occasion, and his services in behalf of consti-
tutional liberty will not soon be forgotten by
his fellow citizens. But we wish to remind
him that his fight has but Just begun The
Lottery Company will not quietly accept, as
q tinality, Judge Miltenberger's decision, but
must be made to submit to the principle it
indicates i'm the end

The present is undoubtedly an age of
invention; perhaps no year has ever witnessed
a greater number of important discoveries in
the arts and sciences than 1878. Among these
are the telephone photograph, electric light.
aerophone, etc; but in no branch OF science
have more wonderful inventions been made in
war. Warfare is progressive science which
is to-day making rapid strides to perfection
Among late inventions relating to military
affairs are improved torpedoes, balloon tor
pedoes and the use of petroleum as pro
jectile In the past few months a new use
also has been found for gun-cotton. Here
after it is to be used in disabling the guns Of
the enemy. A slab of gun-cotton simply laid
upon the muZzle of a gun and detonated, SO
Injuries and dstorts the weapon as to render
1t practically useless for firing. The old plan
of spiking guns prevented them being used
again for some time. The rapid injurng of
gun by means of gun-cotton, in the way now
suggested, will prevent the cannon ever being
employed again. This is not the only way
however, in which gun-cotton can be applied
to purposes of destruction, as it is most con-
venient for breaking railroad lines and de-
stroying bridges quickly.
The English government has lately created
new body Of men, to be termed Cavalry
Pioneers, who are to employ gun-cotton for
these purposes of destruction. The trooper,
mounted on strong and rapid horse, is pro-
yided with a belt containing several pounds
of compressed gun-cotton. On arriving at a
railroad he dismounts and places charge
upon one of the rails. This is detonated, and
the result is that in less than a minute several
yards of the metal is torn away and all trans
portation prevented. In a similar manner
bridges can be destroyed and the cannon of
the enemy rendered Of no use. /
The discovery Of new means of destruction, !
It is said, make wars shorter and the loss of
life less. II this be really so, at the present
rate of improvement in warfare, the time
ought to be close at hand when wars will be
altogether bloodless. !

When Communism first showed itself al
New York, the papers of that city We're great
ly troubled: the existence of commu-
nistic and socialistic ideas in this country
seemed completely absurd to them; this
was a free country, republican country
What was it that these discontinued laboring
men wanted, what, in fine, were the demands
of the COMMUNISTS This question was asked
half dozen times and as nobody took the
trouble of writing any answer to the papers.
the latter loudly proclaimed that the Social
lists were mere incendiary criminals, and
scoundrels, who aimed at bringing about riots,
during which they hoped to secure plenty Of
plumber for themselves
But of late the reporters of Manhattan
have attended the meetings Of these Com
munists and they now find that the latter
really have doctrines and principles which,
although they are inconsistent and absurd.
are still honestly and wildly believed in by
thousands
Sunday is the great day for the Commu-
nfsts of New York to assemble, and it is upon
that day that their leaders preach to them
the doctrines OF Communism. The question
of property greatly worries them, and there
are Inherent DTduCIleS ol tllt oIRdulIttlou
holding different principles concerning it;
some want all property divided, while others
want 1t appropriated by the State, which shall
thereupon become responsible for the sup
port of all citizens. On the question of the
amount of labor, also, that each citizen is to
contribute there is wide difference of opin-
ion; the average time of this labor is
about four hours. All the Communists,
warmly applaud the strikers of last
year and the Mollie Maguires of Pennsylva
MIA for their noble fight against the tyranny
of capital. There is also general demand
for the blood of the richer class of citizens.
Free love- is another OF their favorite doc
trines, or, as they choose to call it, the free
dom of women. ..
Such are the principles enunciated in New
York every Sunday by Communists-pr inci-
piles which are undoubtedly spreading every
day and winning converts among the lower
classes. The New York papers can no longer
pretend that the Communists are without
principles; they have plenty of them, and
strong and fiery principles they are.

PART II.

In accordance with the custom
and injunctions Of my ancestors,
I proceed to give some Of the
most important and striking In
cidents of my life:
I am now an old man, and for
fifty years or more my life has
been a humdrum affair, Lean re-
call nothing during all this long
time that is worthy Of mention or
remembrance. During the win
ter 1 have generally spent my
time in town, and the rest of the
year on my estate, and for this
portion Of my: life, this is all l
have to say. Whether this in
difference to placing ahigber es-
innate upon this portion Of my
life results from old age, which is
said to be oblivious to recent and
passing events, I do not know,
but [ do know, that the incidents
of my boyhood and early man.
hood pass before me as wildly as
if they had occurred but yester-
day. I Remember my boyhood
home, my boyhood sports, my
boyhood strifes, sorrows, and trou
bles, with distinct vividness. They
are now passing before me, as
steadily and as connectedly as the
rolling canvass of the panorama.
T remember my mother, pale,
fragile, and sickIy. I remember
her death and burial, as the great
est sorrow of my life. remem-
Der my brother, my eldest and
only brother, who inherited the
constitution, but not the temper
and disposition Of our mother.
He was weak in constitution
and petulant, irascible and exact
ing in his temper. He was not
lovable, yet, L loved him. His
weak and delicate constitution
prevented him from being sent
from home to school, while l, be-
ing rather more able and stout:

much devoted to reading, and in
my fathers library were many
quaint and curious volumes OF
"forgotten lore, ~ as Poe, the poet
of America, has it, and many
manuscripts containing incidents
of the personal history of my an
cestors, which had been kept up
for generations, among these, was
one containing the adventures OF
my great grand father, subsequent
ly the Duke Of Lancaster in the
province of South Carolina about
the year 1850. Some Of the in
cidents remember, distinctly, but
not enough to give you now a
connected account Of them. They
related as I believe to this piece
of coral, and to the discovery OF
these wonderful Springs. When
| 90 home I will send you a copy
of the manuscript to which l
allude, and which [ am sure will
be an interesting chapter in your
local history. Place this piece Of
coral with tho other specimens
which I will leave, as nucleus
for the Glenn Springs Cabinet"
In a few days after this, to the
regret Of every visitor at the
Springs, he left for his home, and
| heard no moro from him, until
q few days ago, when I received
the following letter:
BIRMINGHAM, Eng, Nov. I, 1877.
Ny DEAR SIR Il arrived at

T have made my report ofits man.
ufacturing and mining resources
to the parties who sent me out,
which is so satisfactory that they
are making arrangements to In
vest in these industries. l congrat-
ulate you, and the country upon
the brilliant prospects which arc
in store tor you. 1t is possible
that some length Of time may
elapse before these arrangements
are consummated, and it is highly
probable that I may see you again
the next season. In the mean
time however, as l promised, l
send you the manuscript Of the
adventures Of my great-grand-
father. in your region Of country
in 1850. Having seen many OF
the places which he describes in
his narrative, it was to me again
exceedingly interesting, and [ am
sure it will be to you.
Please accept my grateful recol-
lections Of your kindness to me
while at Glenn Springs and the
assurance of my highest regard.
Very truly.
GEORGE LANCASTER.
