nor A DEMOCRATIC FORGERY.

If the Morey forgery is to be con-
demned with any good moral effect there
must be convincing evidence that those
who denounce it are not inspired solely by
craftsmanship, but that they are ready to
rebuke similar outrages no matter under
what circumstances they are committed
1t is therefore duty to call attention to
statement made by Mr.. David A. Wells in
letter to the Nation, concerning forgery
committed during the campaign, not by
Democrats, but by Republicans. This
forgery was in the form of card, which
was issued from the Republican National
Headquarters in New York, and which,
according to Mr.. Wells, was "dstrib.
''uted by thousands in New York
"City, Brooklyn, and probably other
"places during the week prior to the
election" The card purported to con-
tain an extract from pamphlet issued
by the Free Trade Club of London, and
read as follows "Let it be understood
"once for all that the salvation of En-
gland depends upon the destruction of
American manufactures, and that the
only possible way in which American
manufactures can be destroyed is by free
"trade. This can only be done through
Democracy, and Democracy can only Sc.
cure contol of the Republic by the votes
"of Irishmen. How England must laugh
' in her sleeve as she sees the men who
cleft their homes vowing vengeance, serve
cher interests by working for a party
which, if it gets control of the country,
"will inevitably carry out the policy she
''most desires" Now this alleged ex-
tract from a pamphlet issued by the
Free Trade Club of London was a
deliberate fabrication. There is no such
organization as the Free Trade Club OF
London. Presumably the Golden Club
was intended by the forgers, but the Cob
den Club is not distinctively Free Trade
Club, and never issued any pamphlet
containing any such preposterous rub
bish as the citation. We cannot agree
with Dir. Wells that this forgery does not
differ in wrong and immortality from the
Morey letter. We think, on the contrary,
that the Morey letter exhibits far deeper
strain of scoundrelism, a far more reckless
and constituencies purpose to deceive, no
matter to whose injury. The difference
between the two we hold to be marked
and emphatic; but none the less do we
condemn and reprobate the Republican
forgery. 1t was undoubtedly. as DIR.

THE DAILY RECORD-UNION.
sArrRaAY............DE DECEMBER IS. 1850
THE REASONS

For declaring the WEEKLY USIos the best family
paper are obvious. 1t is the only weekly paper
which is issued in two parts and carries to its read
ers the news of the day twice each week. By this
means the news is to the great mass of readers in
the country nearly as fresh as if CLEANED from a
daily paper 1t is the only sixteen-page weekly
journal in the State; it is conplete news, COM
mercial, literary and critical paper; its columns
have special departments carefully edited fol the
farmer, mechanic. merchant, the housewife, the
young people, the lovers of curious puzzles, educa-
ters artisans, bankers brokers' readers OF fiction
and poetry, and the general reader of the political
scientific and business news of the day. In
December there began in the WEEKLY UNION
the first chapters OF the new serial, The
Ventures and Adventures of Charlie Gould" It is
deeply interesting story OF the stock market ard
stock gambling era Of California. 1t is written by
Edward F. Cahill of Los Angeles, and is the first of
the RECORD Us1os's $500 prize stories, for which
there was such active competition. The WEEKLY
UStoS is mailed for one year, PREPAID, TO any ad.
dress in the United States for % so.

HOLIDAY ISSUE.

Following the custom first established by this pa
per the RECORD UNION will the LIST day OF Janu-
airy, 1884, issue mammoth edition containing valu-
able statistics business review of Sacramento, and
interesting special articles.
The superior value of the New Years issues of
ths paper is already well known to require no
detail of the prospectus The editions of this spe-
cal issue have often reached $4,000 of the daily
alone. All matter presented in the daily reappears
in the WEEKLY UNION, thus receiving the widest and
most general circulation.
The RECORD UNION and WEEKLY UNION are the
only papers published outside OF the metropolis

TIE SELECTION OF JURIES Ia GRIM.
NAL CASES.

We have before expressed the opinion
that the uniformity of the failure of JUS
tice in murder cases which has disgraced
California for SO long is largely attributable
to the methods in use for selecting jurors
in capital trials. We observe that the
Oakland Times, in commenting on the ac-
quittal of Schroeder, intimates that the
jurors in that case were unknown men.
Their social position, their antecedents,
their intelligence, appear to have been
equally problematical. We are not sur
prised at this statement, for the practice

maNsIAuGHTEa BY oARE1EssNEss

a legal correspondent, referring to the
case of the young man who shot his sweet
heart at Oakland recently, and the case of
the man in New York who shot the bar
keeper while trying to put bullet through
his hat, observes that some of the papers
have found fault with the laws for not pro-
viding penalties in similar circumstances.
Our friend says that the fault is not with
the law, but with its administration, and
in proof of this he points to that provision
of the Penal Code which defines man
slaughter. 1t is as follows &c Manslaugh-
&c ter is the unlawful killing of a human
being without malice, and is of two
kinds: First, voluntary sudden
quarrel or heat of passion. Second, in
voluntary-in the commission of an I'M
g lawful act not amounting to felony or in
g. the commission of lawful act which
might produce death in an unlawful
simanner or without due caution and
circumspection. Under this definition
our correspondent claims that both the
persons in the cases cited were guilty of
manslaughter, and ought to be punished
for that crime The Penal Code further
more states the cases wherein homicide is
iustifiable or reasonable, and the shooting
of the girl at Oakland does not come within
the provisions. II some of the reckless
and foolish people who are constantly kill
ing their friends or neighbors were indicted
for manslaughter, and sentenced to round
term of imprisonment, it is quite possible
that there would soon be fewer of these
tragedies. In any case, if the law declares
such killing to be manslaughter, the pre-.
sentation and Indictment ought to be
made, or it is clear that che law is a dead
letter.

4 SOUTHERN VIEW.

The Grand Jury of the United States
Court at Richmond, Virginia, have in
dicted several judges OF election for re-
fusing to receive the votes of persons who
presented tax receipts alleged to have been
illegally issued. In Virginia it is required
by law that the voters shall produce these
receipts. The Judge informed the Grand
Jury that the receipts in question, though
perhaps technically irregular in one point,
were legal, and that the judges of cleo
ton had no right to deprive citizens of
their votes on the grounds alleged. In
accordance with those instructions the in
dietments were found, and thereupon the
Richmond press assail the Grand Jury
with a wealth and recklessness of in
vective alraost deserving of admira-
ton. The Richmond Whig de-
clares that it "has no patience
with these Thugs and demons, ne
matter whether they call themselves
"a Southerners or Virginians. 1t denounces
them as "the enemies of mankind and
suggests that the heavy hand of force :"
ought to be applied to them, inasmuch as
they can "neither be taught by human
treason ner touched by human sympathy. !"
All this and much more in the same vein is
called forth by the implication of the
Grand Jury that citizens ought not to be
deprived of their votes upon frivolous
grounds. The Richmond Wing and its
local contemporaries resent this as pesti-
lent and malignant doctrine, and judging
by their utterances they would be entirely
willing to see the Grand Jury lynched for
presuming to interfere with the sacred
tSouthernl right of suppressing Republican
votes

tanned. For its tendencyis tomake themost
OF us more thoughtful of the wants and wishes
of others, if only for twenty-four hours,
and it gives US all an opportunity of reaGz-
ing, as mere reading the sentiment can
never do, the truth of the saying that ''itis
more blessed to give than to receive. :"
The only wonder is that when men and
women have discovered this for themselves
by a few Christmas experiments, they do
not venture upon an extension of the
pleasure they have received, and carry the
Christmas spirit all through the new year.
The ease with which that spirit slips away,
however, only serves to show how ingrained
are the prevailing habits of selfshness which
enwrap the world. We are sure that no
one whose nature was not fatally
warped ever regretted or failed to expe-
rience true pleasure from the observance
of the Christian customs, and yet it very
seldom occurs to any of US that it might
be worth while to adopt the theory of the
season as a life principle. People are
very seldom impoverished by benevolence,
to say the truth. The men who have ru-
ined themselves by caring more for their
fellows than for themselves would not fill
very large muster-roll. We are none of
us in any danger of being persuaded to
put Self second instead of first. And yet,
unless all our highest religion and philos-
ophy are wrong, unless the most exalted
aspirations of humanity are mere vain
and foolish dreams, it is to some such
consummation that the race is slowly
and painfully and uncertainty struggling
and had it no such goal in view
it would be difficult to ind sufficient
excuse for its survival. 1t is in fact at
such times as this that we catch glimpse,
dim and momentary, but still suggestive
and encouraging, of possible future when
men viii have grown out of the deep
selfishness they inherit from lower organ
isms, and when the fierce struggle, not SO
much for existence as for the superfuities
of existence, viii have been superseded by
generous emulation IN mutual aid and
support. We shall none of us live to see that
time, nor will our children's children but
for all that it is worth something to such as
look beyond the present to feel that there
are latent possibilities in human nature
which in due course may SO lift our sue
cessors up that they will be enabled to
make the Christmas spirit their rule of life.

A Roman villa Unearthed.

FRESH discoveries are daily being
made by the exploring party at Morton
Farm, on Lady Oglander's estate near
Sandown, Isle of Wight. The most i'm
portant addition to the remains of the
Roman villa already laid bare has been
a large chamber, nearly forty feet long,
east and west, divided by strong piers
of solid masonry. The western portion
of this chamber is nearly nineteen feet
wide, and the eastern end more than
fifteen feet wide. 1t contains in parts
the remains of a dado about eighteen
inches high, ornamented with frescoes
in scroll pattern of pink, gray and
brown. A fillet of plaster runs round
the base of the whole chamber, the walls
of which are between three feet and
four feet in height, the superstructure
being of wood and plaster, much OF
which has been found in the ruins, With
the colors well preserved and for the
most part remarkably fresh. The floor
OF this chamber is paved throughout in
fine tesselated work, the most elaborate
that has yet been discovered in the Brit
ish Islands. The subjects contained in
panels are, among others, Perseus and
Andromeda and the Four Seasons. The
central ornament in another portion
contains the head of Medusa, with
snake-like locks; and around this are
panels filled with pastoral groups, and
a spirited composition of Tritons and
sea monsters. The exploring party OF
distinguished antiquarians have now un-
earthed six chambers, making, with
what had already been discovered,
eleven. In short time the extent of a
spacious Roman villa, which was with
out doubt the habitation OF some great
parsonage, will have been opened to the
light of day.-NeW York World.

Fall River Statistics.

ACCORDING to the figures of Fall
River man the capacity of the cotton
factories of that city is 100000 pieces
per week; allowing that these pieces
average As IL yards each, there are T.
1000 yards produced in a week, or
578, $50, 900 yards in year. The Fall
River man continues to figure, and
shows the capacity of the factories in
the most striking light possible by as
serting that if this vast amount of cloth
we're made into shirts every man, wom-
an and child could have one and one
halt each. He does not show, however,
of what earthly use half of shirt
could be to any one. The Fall River
man does some more figuring; he finds
that if the 578,560, 900 yards were I'M
rolled in q straight line it would 20
round the earth 8 3-5 times, and rightly
concludes that cit would make very
respectable tail for comet When he
undertakes to ascertain just how billions
of South Sea Islanders could be supplied
with wardrobe, the man becomes be-
wildered with amazement and dares not
give his figures to the public. Without
these it is safe to say that vast amount
of business is done in the cotton factories
at Fall River, and it is to be regretted
that it is likely to be interfered with by
a general strike on the part of the opera
tives therein.-B0ston Post.
