Gen Grants Decision in the Canal Matter.

New York, Sept. l0-The Tribune says: Although some over zealous advocates of General Grants nomination in 1880 insist that his decision in the canal matter will not take him out of the Presidential race, it is evident that he has made up his mind to keep aloof from the whirlpool eff party politics. It is not t0 be supposed that he would entertain the idea of managing so gigantic a commercial and engineering un- dertaking as a ship canal between the At lantic and Pacific if he had any ambition CT expectancy of serving another term in the White House. He writes he has given two days consideration to tine matter. He is DO doubt we'll informed as 10 the drift of political events at home, and in these two days of reflection he must have weighed the chances of a nomination and election next year. Probably his conclusion was that a life position as head of the Canal Company would be more to his taste than four years more of the Chief Magisiracy, even if the latter were assured. Al all events, he has made up his mind, and he is the last man to waver when he has once come to de- cision.

HOW THEY FEEL.

Kearney, it will be remembered, on Sun day, 7st inst, proclaimed in speech at the Sand lot, that aGrsnt ls soon to be here, l hope no workingman will go down to swell the crowd to meet him. While he is being paraded through the streets we will burn him in effigy, right here on the sand lot, and call upon all citizens, in every part of his route. to burn him in efiigy.n
 No one will be interested in learning the effect of this impudent speech upon the friends of the greatest commander of the age, and foremost Americsn citizen, the vile utterances of the foreign scalawag, On American soil carry with them an answer of utter contempt and loathipg. But let us see how it affects those who have for hf- teen or twenty years been the bitterest po- IiticaI enemies of the General, and who are to-day intensely opposed to him and his party. We take one example which will serve as an avrrage of what Democrats think, The Red Bluff Sentinel of the Huh, edited by "old Abe' Townsend, most uncom- promising Democrat and apologist for Se- cession, rebellion and every other purely democratic principle, says;-
 This speech has called forth the just in- dignation of the citizens of San Francisco The ignorant brute who seems to lose what little sense he has as he grows older, should have hls mouth closed so strongly that all the demons of the lower regions would mol
 be able to open it. A prominent man trav. cling ia the capacity of free American citizen, and who has had henors heaDed upon him from the most powerful King doms and Empires on the face of the earth
 should not be slurred by the words from
 the foul-mouthed rawlings of dementeo
 fool. The people of San Francisco have
 dared Kearney to do the act he threatens The city would be far better off without him, and would be doing the state service
 nf untold merit if they would hang Rear
 ney in earnest. We will subscribe our mt to his headstone.

Two old chums in the California Legislature.

Joe wassou, an old printer and newspa per writer, of more than ordinary talent has been elected Juint Assemblyman from Mono and Inyo counties, and ". J. Hill, (Old Hill1 has been elected to she Senate from San Bonito and Monterey.
 When Joe Wasson started the Owyhee Qdaho) Avalanche, in 1865, Old Hill, then a mere boy, owned and managed the Owy- hee ferry, living alone in a miniature stone fort, in the heart of the Piute country many miles from any other white settler. Here he was several times attacked by the sav- ages, and on one or two occasions was bad ly injured by gun shot wounds. Here 1t was he got the name "old Hill, which was given him by emigrants, and others who had never seen him, but who took it for granted that no one but au old mountsineer who had spent at least quarter oi a cen tury trapping in the Rocky Mountains would dare to expose himself thus among hostile Indians. The many narrow escapes, and ludicrous positions in which he was placed, during his solitary residence of two or three years on the banks of the OwYhee, would, If written up as he is so eminentiy fit to do it, make an amusing and interest ing book. It was during this residence that he began to exercise his talent as writer, in the capacity of correspondent of the Ava lanche; he and Joe having been previously acquainted m Idaho City,wherc Hill, though 6 graduate of Canadian College. was earn ing his bread as woOd-chopper, aud Joe sticking type Tn ths office of the Boise News.
 Solitude having lost its charms, and the Avalanche having in the mean time grown to be . valuable and influential journal, Hill sold his ferry and bought the paper, where he soon made a reputation as the best country editor in the mountains.
 Joe became regular Bohemian" trav- eled everywhere as correspondent for pa pers, east and west, went to Europe. was at The Vienna Exposition, accompanied Gen. Crook in several expeditions, wrote up his campaigns, and finally brought up as the historian of Bodie, from whence he is sent te the Legislature.
 Hill has moved to Salinas City. and is editor and proprietor of 'the Salinas Index, in which position he has become power in that land which sends him to tie Senate.
 They both have host of friends in Ari- zona. who have known and respected them ;p Idai,o, hence this sketch by one of them.

Fiat Justitia. Ruat Jurymen.

"Gentlcmen," said Kentucky Judge fo the jury in a murder case, ''have you agreed upon a verdictg"
 "Ae have," made answer the foreman.
 At this moment twelve men in the audi encc rose, pulled out their shooting irons, and covered each man iB the box.
 There was an ominous silence Tn the couri, broken at length by the voice of the Judge from behind the desk where he had dropped:
 "Gcntlcman, the dignity of the law must be respected. The first great principles of justice and jurisprudence must and shall be maintained at all hazards. Do you fnd the prisoner at the bar guiltyor not guiltyf"
 The foreman looked at his fellow jurors. They glanced nervousiy at him. There was a hurried consultation that lasted less thsu minute, and then the foreman spoke up like little man:
 No, guilty, your Honor.r
 And thus did they emphasize tho funda- mental principle of jury's prudence.

TIE TuSSEI. COMPLETED Tonight the track through the tunnel will be completed. and tomorrow the first regular train will be run through it. The swiicll-baek has had it's day, served its purpose well, and will hereafter bc considered among the things of the past. The switch-back has been used about seven months. When first built it was regarded by railroad oper- atives as an extremely dangerous system to work, and more than one tired locomotive engineer, fireman, conductor and brakes man, has shrunk from the responsibility of running trains up the ugly. giddy height on 3l7 foot grade. Bat it has been op- erated with safety, and without serious ac- cident. The credit of its successful work ing is due to Mr. c. A. Sands, master of trains for the mountain division, more than any oBe else.--Trinidad News, Sept 9th.

sherman Declines to oelsorese.

General Eherman's letter of reply to the Salisbury, North Carolina, invitation to at- tend reunion of Confederate and Federal soldiers, comes like an inspiritiDg burst Of martial music into the midst of an atmos- phere of dreary 'gush." We are glad to note that at least one of the great Captains of the war is not disposed to coDcede that between the cause for which the Confeder- ate soldier fought and suffered, and the cause for which the Union soldier fought and suffered there is no essential difference. The time has not yet arrived when the loyal nation can spotheosize Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis upon the same pedestal, or rank Robt. E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant ss equally entitled to the gratitude and es- teem of the country. So long as Mississ- ,pp, iuries return verdicts justifying the covardIy murder of the daughters of Re publican fathers, so long as the banks of the Father of Waters arc lined with those fleeing from the bondage of!errorism, which js exercised in the South over black skin ned citizens of the United States, it cannot be truly said that ii is quite the thing for Union soldiers to cheer at the mention oi Confederate victories, or for Sherman to don his cap and do homage to the flags "hicn gre still stained with the mire into which his legions trampled them. Nor m saying this do we mean to be understood as in'i- mating that it is desirable to retard the era of good feeling and homogenity of purpose which all patriots hope will eventually per meste the people of this nation. We sim DIv say. and we say it with regret, that thus far. the ssreciprocity of feeling appears to bs sll on one side;'' and we say further that the newly welded unity of feeling and ptr- nose between the North and South need not include, and in our judgment ought not ,o include, the proposition that because the people of the South were honest and earn est in their rebellion, that therefore, the rebellion was any the less great, cause less and s needless crime. It would be bet. ter for this generation and the next. better for the peace, the prosperity and the unity of our land, if the rising generation of the South could be taught to look upon the rebellion Of their fathers, if not as crime to be forgot ten. at least as a cruel blvnder, the details of which should be remitted 10 kindly ob- liyion. We therefore think that the hero of Atlanta struck the right key when he said that he would be glad to meet the peo- ule of North Carolina on some civic occa- sion, or, in memory of the Revolutionary war, but to meet them as ex-Confederate soldiers to commemorate ex Confederate battles or campaigns would be unjust to them, unjust to him, and unwise for the general welfare.

A Nrw v1oERoY or INDIA.

Late advices from London say that Lord Lytton has resigned his high office ot Vice. roy of India, and that he will shortly retire in favor of Lord Duiferin, late Governor General of the Dominion of Canada, and al present Ambassador to the Court of St. Pe- tersburg. Lord Duffcrin has been, DIoba- bly,, the most uniformly successful Britis diplomat of our day, and promotion has borne corresponding ratio 10 his merit. Earl Besconstield's penchsnt for brilliant men, is we'll known, asd it would be diff cult to point out a morc fitting successor than Lord Dufferin to Lord Lytton. The latter, it is surmised, prefers the fiowery paths of literature 70 the uncongenial tasks of diplomacy or Oriental administration. "Owen Meredith" can well afford to retire upon his laurels, and the Star of India" will be supplemented by his elevation in the peerage to an earldom. The world of letters will look forward to the fruclifca- ton of his genius in leisure.
