THE CHISHOLM MURDER. General
Stewart J.. WoodfoId, who went with
Mrs. Chisholm to attend the trial o! Henry

farce from beginning to end. lie says {:
Judge Hamm did his duty fearlessly and
justly. Thomas S. Ford, District Attors
ney, did his duty well and bravey. /
Gear and complete case of murder. The
charge OF the Judge was distinct, direct
and positive, and yet the jury were only
out long enough TO take one ballot and
write verdict. / don't know how to
account for this verdict on any grounds
that are not discred liable either to :he IN
telligence or moral sense of the jury, md

she jury were lacking in intelligence. -
The three negroes evidently possessed
neither brains nor courage. The whites

non estly represents the present Judgment
and wishes of general majority of the

JEFF. DAVIS REFUsAL.-A letter
from Jefferson Davis to the editor of n
Mississippi paper, reply ing to one asking
If he would consent 10 become candid
for the United States Senate, has lately
been published. A prominent Mississ~
ippian now in Washington says it sets at
rest forever the suggestion that Davis will
again represent his State in either branch
of Congress. His refusal, however, is
very mildly expressed. He does not
"dasire" to be elected; does not "wish"
to re enter the Senate; is "averse' to
public station; his name will not be,
with h's consent, included" among the
candidates. The reason alleged for the
refusn is that he regards the doctrine of
State rights essential to tho liberty and
safety of the country, and fears That anv
advocacy OF that doctrine by him would
only damage it in the eyes OF the people
on account of prejudice in the North
against him.

TIE New York Tribune, commenting
on the Work;ngmen logic, says; How
can Isaac S, Kaloch, who has just been
elected Mayor of San Francisco, be hon-
estly called workingman, as iron moul-
ders, ship carpenters and shoemakers are
workingmen? Doubtless Knlloch is n
man who works, and will work, but, from
the point of view usually taken by the
society. The same may be said of Schw-
alb, one of the New York Workingmen
although it might be proper 10 apologize
no Kallock, who has been Industrious in
his several callings, for associating his
name with a meIe vender Of malt bever-
ages. Then there is Barbour, Work ing
mans candidate for Congress in the First
District. What has Citus Barbour, law
yer and fomenter of strife, in common
with the peaceful WorkngmenP Yet,
California Workingmen, with strange
incons istency, ominated the man for
Congress against citizen, who is mer-
chant and dealer in merchandise, and nad
given employment 10 fifty men where
Barbour had given none. IF. then the
occupations Of men afford any sport
within the magic circles OF "Work ing
mon" in which they arc entitled TO so
much respect, where shall we draw the
line? At Kearney, who drove n dray,
but drives no more, or with Clitus Bar
bour, who never did days allowance of
manual labor in his life?
