VICTORIA, Dec. 10th.-The bark
entine A. G. Dickerman will carry
small quantity of provincial
wheat to England, the first shipped
from this place.
On Friday morning the steamers
Wilson G.. Hunt and Enterprise
came into collision in this harbor
when about to leave for New West
minister, and the last named was
seriously damaged. The rivalry
between the two vessels has been
very great for year past.
The Fraser river steamer Reliance
struck a rock on Friday and was
run ashore. Passengers and live
stock all saved, and steamer will be
repaired.
The Wellington and South We'll
llngton colliers have resumed oper-
ations.
The work of dredging the harbor
at the mouth having been suspend
ed, the Hudson Bay Company have
hired the dredger and intend to
deepen the water at their wharves.
The bark Penang arrived on Fri
day night. She left Honolulu on
the 29th ult., and thus made the
voyage within IL days-the fastest
passage on record.

ShyIock Was Right Alter All.

A distinguished German jurist
makes the following sharp, and we
must confess just criticism on the
celebrated judgment of Shylock's
bond for pound of flesh:
"I claim that injustice was done
to Shylock. l have not contended
that the judge should have recog-
nized Shylock's bond to be valid;
but that, once he had recognized
its validity, he should not, subse.
quently, have invaldated it by
base cunning. The judge has the
choice of deciding the bond valid
or invalid. He should have de.
clared it to be the latter, but he de-
clared it to be the former. Shakes
peare represents the matter as if
this decision was the only possible
one; no one in Venice doubted the
validity of the bond; Antonio's
friends, Antonio himself, the Court,
all were agreed that the bond gave
the Jew legal right. And confid-
ing in his right thus universally
acknowledged, Shylock calls for
the aid of the Court; and the wise
Daniel after he had vainly en-
deavored to induce the revenge
thirsty creditor to surrender his
right, recognized it. And now,
after the judges decision has been
given, after all doubt as to the legal
right of the Jew has been removed
by the judge himself, and not
word can be said against 1t, after
the whole assembly, the Doge In
cluded, have accommodated them
selves to the inevitable decree of
the Iaw-now the victor, entirely
sure of his case, intends to do what
the judgment Of the Court author
lied him to do, the same judge who
had solemnly recognized his rights,
renders those rights nugatory by
an objection, a stratagem so con-
temptible that it is worthy of no
serious attention. Is there any
flesh without blood? The Judge
who accorded Shylock the right to
cut a pound of flesh out of Anto-
MOS body accorded him, at the
same time, the right to Antonio's
blood, without which flesh cannot
be. Both are refused to the Jew.
He must take the flesh without the
blood, and cut out only an exact
pound of flesh, no more and no less.
Do say too much when assert
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1879-12-11

that here the Jew ia cheated out of
his legal right? True it Is done in
the interest of humanity, but does
chicanery cease to be chicanery be-
cause practised in the name of hu-
manity ?'
1t Is hatred and revenge that take
Shylock before the Court to cut his
pound of flesh out of Antonio's
body; but the words which the
poet puts into his mouth are as
true in it as In any other. 1t is the
language which the wounded feel
ing of legal right will speak at all
times and in all places; the power,
the firmuess of the conviction
that law must remain law,
the lofty feeling and pathos
OF a man who is conscious
that, In what he claims, there is
question not only of his person but
of the law. "The pound of flesh''
Shakespeare makes him say:
1.-THE pound Of flesh which I demand of
him
Is dearly bought, is mine, and I will
have it;
II you deny me, fle upon your law;
There is no force in the decreess OF Venice.
l crave the law, stay upon my bond.
1t is no longer the Jew demand
ing his pound of flesh; it is the law
of Venice itself knocking at the
door of justice; for his rights and
the law are one and the same; they
both stand or fall together. And
when he finally succumbs under
the weight OF the Judges decision,
who wipes out his rights by a
shocking piece of pleasantly, when
We see him pursued by bitter scorn,
bowed, broken, tottering on his
way, who cannot help feeling that
in him the law of Venice is hum
bled, that it is not the Jew, Shy
lock, who moves painfully away,
but the typical figure of the Jew in
the middle ages, that pariah of So
ciety who cried in vain for justice.
His fate is eminently tragic, not
because his rights are denied him,
but because he, Jew of the middle
ages, has faith in the law-we
might say as if he were a Christian
"a faith in lhe law firm as o rock
which nothing can shake, and
which the judge himself feeds until
the catastrophe breaks upon him
like thunder clap, 6ispels the IL
lusion and teaches him that he is
only the desplsed medieval Jew to
whom justice is done by defrauding
him; for when the jurist submits
the question to critical examina-
ton, he can only say that the bond
was in itself null and void because
its provisions were contrary to good
morals. The Judge should, there
fore, have refused to enforce its
terms on this ground from the
first. But as he did not do so, as
the "wise Daniel" admitted its val
idity, it was u wretched subterfuge,
a miserable piece of pettifoggery to
deny the man whose right he had
already admitted, to cut a pound of
flesh from the living body, the
right to the shedding of the blood
which necessarily accompanied it,"

Grant Cannot Carry Ohio.

Interview with Deacon Richard Smith. !
Mr.. Smith was asked if he did
not think Grant would be weak
candidate for the Republicans to
nominate, because OF the feeling
that it would be unfit to honor him
more than Washington was hon.
ored, and because of the hostility OF
large body of Independent voters,
who might turn the scale in favor
of the Democrats by refraining
from voting.
'I put that question to Wash
burne the other day in Chicago"
he replied, "and he said that for
every vote Grant lost in this way
he would gain two from the unde-
cided element and the Democrats" +"
"But what is your opinion, Mr..
Smith ?'
81 do not agree with Mr.. Wash
burne. l should regard Grants
election by no means certain. The
German element is hostile to any
thing that looks like Imperialism.
They favor frequent elections and
change of men in power. Nearly
all Of them are opposed to giving
Grant third term. Without the
Germans we cannot carry Ohio. /
do not see where we could turn for
votes to make up for their loss, un-
les it were to the Democratic party,
and that would be very untrust-
worthy source in a heated Presi-
Dental canvass"

WE admit to our columns, with
pleasure, q communication from
the attorney of Mrs. Hamilton, who
develops novel theory of the dis
appearance of that lady's husband.
1t is accompanied by notice from
Mrs. Hamilton, in our advertising
columns, offering q reward OF $500
for the recovery of the body of her
husband, whom she assumes to
have been murdered. From every
standpoint the affair is a mysteri-
Gus one. We have no desire to
prejudge it, although We certainly
do not share the conclusions of Mr..
Dooner. 1t is somewhat surprising
that reward has not been offered
for the discovery of Hamilton's
whereabouts by either the city au-
thorities or his bondsmen. II he
has indeed been murdered it will
not be long before his body will be
found.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1879-12-11

SOME fussy people in this neigh
borhood have undertaken to trav-
erse the HERALD's right to call
Hayes hypocrite and a humbug
"a sort of unique combination OF
Chadband and Pumblechook. We
invite the attention of these
forcible-feeble Miss Nancys to the
following from that staunch and
able Republican journal, the New
York Commercial Advertiser:
There is nothing the people Of
this country have greater contempt
for than cant and hypocrisy. The
Presidents course from the time he
entered the White House up to the
present has been one OF pretension
and imposture on the subject of civil
service reform. He refers to the
improvements made in the New
York Custom House and Postof1ice
under the competitive system. This
10 Q snare and delusion. The en-
forcement of what is called the
civil service order at the Custom
House is very thin dust thrown in
the eyes of the public. The COM
petitive system Is dodge to enable
the President, the Secretary of the
Treasury, and the Collector of the
Port to take care of their particular
friends to the exclusion of outsid-
ers. That is all there Is of this
much vaunted reform movement.
The examiners know how to prefer
just as we'll as President Hayes
knew how to reward for personal
and political service. Blood is
thicker than water. and these ex-
aminers will give the preference to
their friends, just as Mr..
Hayes gave the preference to
Gov. Noyes, who nominated him
at the Cincinnati Convention, and
to the large number of men who
rendered service to "count him In. !"
The partisanship that brought the
President and the Cabinet to the
support OF ascandIdate for Govern
or, who was removed from Office
for no other reason than that he
was not in sympathy with civil SER
vice reform, ought not to expect
the people to believe they are hon.
estly and sincerely in favor of true
reform.

Suddenly Became a Millionaire.
[Santa Rosa Democrat.I

Charles Thorn, Jr., the efficient
agent of the S. L. & N. ?. r. r.,
has received the welcome but al.
most incredible news that he has
become heir to fortune of So, $780,
600, that had lain in the Bank of
England for over two hundred
years, awaiting a claimant. The
Hyde estate was accumulated by
two East India merchants named
Hyde, who, dying, left 1t by will
to a third brother, who, it seems,
never heard of his good fortune,
and it has lain ever since in the
Bank of England awaiting a
claimant. The third brother dying
left an only daughter, who married
a Mr.. Frye, the grandfather of
Charles Thorn, ST., and the great
grandfather of our fellow-towns-
man. The heirs now number one
hundred and fifty, mostly residing
in Glen Cove, Long Island, Mr..
Thorn's native place. The estate
is now valued at e80,O00,O0O ster-
ling, and when distributed the
share of each of the one hundred
and fifty heirs will amount to some
81. 500, 900 of our money. From the
advices received from Glen Cove
and the Solicitors in England, it is
expected that the heirs will enter
upon the enjoyment of their i'm
mense property about the first of
January. Mr.. Thorn's father. Cap
tain Thorn, is one of the

THE landlord agitation in Ire.

The landlord agitation in Ire.
land is quite wide in its ramifica-
tions, q meeting of Irishmen hav-
Ing been called In Los Angeles to
devise relief for their suffering
compatriots at home. No country
In the history of the world has
been so cursed as the evergreen isle
by the exactions Of property hold
ers. A tenant has no rights which
his landlord is bound to respect.
No matter how valuable may have
been the improvements which he
has placed upon his farm, he has
been liable at any time to the most
summary and heartless eviction,
Just as the caprice of his landlord
may dictate. In addition, for hum
dreds of years that unfortunate
country has suffered from the evils
of ssabsenteeism." The money
which was wrung from the poor
Irish tenant was carried of into
England, that the landlord might
there live in ostentatious splendor,
regardless OF the mortal injury he
was fnflicting upon a country
which he scarcely looked upon as
his own except for purposes OF
plunder. Ireland has been steadily
growing in knowledge or her
rights and in her ability to assert
them. England knows that, under
the imposing fabric of her power,
there has been a slumbering vol
cano which was liable to burst
forth and level 1t, il not restrained.
Brute force no longer rules the
world; and, while an occasional i'll
judged and local Irish emeute could
be tramped out by the troops
and constabulary of the Irish es-
tablishment, the united demand Of
the people of Ireland can no longer
be dlsregarded by England. Catho-
lie emancipation was the first great
boon which agitation accomplished
for ireland. Next followed the
Encountered Estates Court Act,
which broke up the feudal tenures.
Within more recent times came
the disestab lishment of the Irish
Church. A modification of the
relations between landlord and
tenant and Home Rule are the
present demands of this long suf-
fsring race. There can be no
reasonable doubt but that they will,
In time, accomplish both their
aims. or course this statement
leaves out Of the count that imme-
mortal yearning of the Irish people
for absolute independence of Eng
land. This aspiration never sleeps.
To its attainment are consecrated
the most resolute and generous
spirits who live on the green sod
to-day. That even their opportun-
ity will come ultimately is exceed
ingly likely. England, il she is
wiee, will stave off the evil day by
substantial concessions. Glad
stone has always appreciated the
necessity for conciliatory policy.
How Beaconsfield will conduct
himself remains to be seen.

THE Cuban insurgents appear to be una
bic to take the field in force, and the Span
lards are unable to destroy them in their mid
ing places. It costs the insurgents nothing to
keep up the war, while to Spain the struggle
is exhausting. The fighting has now been in
progress for nine years, and its termination
seems as far off as ever
1t has now cost more money and blood than
the whole island is worth; certainly more than
1t is worth to Spain, but pride holds on to it,
and though the war has been announced as
ended, Spain is still compelled to send troo. I.
and stand on the watch.
