The defeat of Freud is of course to be
greatly desired also, for his reputation
would signify rebuke not alone to Kearney-
ism but to those INSCRIPTIONS and recreant
Democrats who have been making alliances
with the Sandlotters for the single base
purpose of furthering their selfish partisan
aims. There is indeed less infamy in the
open designs of the brutal Communists who
press rudely forward to their anarchical
| designs, than in the cold blooded betrayal
Of their fellows perpetrated by those
rascal politicians who, in order to advance
some sordid craving for Office, have shown
themselves ready to put the very existence
of society at risk, and to strike hands with
the public enemies in the face of SO peril
Gus crisis. These men ought to be
marked for future punishment, and when
the present struggle is over they
should be prescribed by all honor
able citizens. At this moment, how
ever, there is but one duty for San
Francisco, and that is to crush the foul
conspiracy against her life and prosperity
that has been Matched in the Sandlots. If
the Citizens Union possesses the power it
has been credited with, now is the time to
use it with effect. For there will assuredly
be no laggards among the Kearneyite yot-
ers. They will be found attending to bust
ness strictly on election day, and all who
sympathize with them secretly will vote
against the peace and safety of the city.
Nothing can add to the keen perception of
the disaster which an adverse outcome
would be for San Francisco, probably, but
the consideration of what defeat involves
must nevertheless be the main stimulus to
exertion. A Kearneyitc victory at this
iuncture would go far to sustain the
declaration that the majority of the
inhabitants of the city are favorable
to Sandlot government, and such
an implication would paralyze the arm of
the Citizens Union, and render any fur
ther efforts for the abatement of Kearney
ism practically futile. Such an issue to the
election would in fact create the conviction
that there was not energy and honesty
enough in the city to oppose a successful
resistance to the mob-spirit, and that the
mob-leaders were in truth masters of the
situation. 1t is needless to say that such
belief would destroy all confidence in the
future of the city, and give death blow to
its credit all over the world. It is there
fore an instinct of self-preservation which
impels the supporters of the cause of order
to make a desperate effort on this occasion,
for they cannot possibly afford to let their
antagonists succeed.

THE following is a correct
statement of the case by the San
Francisco Stock Report:
They have now demonstrated that
General Hancock very nearly caused
the loss of the battle of Gettysburg
and that the Union army was only
saved from rout and ruin by the
gdsd Judgment of General Hant, the
Chief of Artillery. There is such a
thing as'carrying this species of cam
paign tactics too far. The people
think and have reason to think that
Hancock fought we'll and made a
splendid record in the war on the
Union side, and attacks on him after
the lapse of fifteen years and in the
course OF political campaign are
much more likely to serve than injure
him. Hancock and Garfield were
both good soldiers and did the Union
service. We believe their oharac-
tiers as men are not assailable; but

.DELiGHTFUL CHEAP LiIEh'
ATURE."

The Virginia Chronicle last IhufS'
, dsv contained an article with tne
stove heading, rejecting in jocu-
lar manner ON the lengthiness Of the
l.. opinions of the Justices OF the Su'
preme Court in the case OF so'en Vs.
tho v, g. T. r. r. Co., a suit for In
,erest on q judgment for $4,000 re-
covered tor personal injuries receiv-
sd by plaintiff. 1t appears that the
Judgment was recovered by the
.n,a,n,,a in December, 1876, and that
the defendant appealed, but the
Judgment was affirmed by the SUI
preme Court on June 22d, 1878. This
Judgment was entered by the clerk
ot the court precisely in accordance
with the form Of q Judgment which
had been prepared and furnished by
ana Of the attorneys for the defend
ant. 1t was for $4,000 and costs OF
action, but was silent as to interest.
ON the Goth day Of June, 1878, the
railroad paid to the Clerk of the
e Court the SIS, 200 and costs, claim
ing full satisfaction; but the plain
. iii refused to receive the amount,
. claiming interest also on the $4,000
sor the eighteen months since the re-
coyery OF the judgment, and COM
,osnced the action referred to ia the
Chronicle.
The object OF the Chronicle was to
. @ asst some ridicule upon the Supreme
ranch, because its members belong
. 10 the Republican party. 1t observes:
% But the most curious partOf the
whole business Is the quantity Of
wisdom (and wind poured out by the
three learned Justices Of the Supreme
Court in expressing their respective
conclusions"
Really, the most curious
/, mart of the whole business is
that the present Democratic csndi-
date for Supreme Judge was the at
torney through whose carelessness
or ignorance Of the law his client
lost about $1,000 of interest, ard that
q Democratic journal ahould call at
teution to the fact.
A similiar neglect or willingness
to take things easily in framing de-
cision an . Justice of the Supreme
Court, might be the OCCASION at some
time of q much greater injustice
than the loss OF few thousand dol
lars, and the people of Nevada in
making their choice between the
present candidates will scarcely care
TO trust their most ;:importsns inter-
ssts 10 careless hands. but will vote
for W. H. Beatty, who is known to
be both careful and accursts in the
performance OF his duties.
