Reply TO "Kustiens."
GRAFTON, August TO-
Editors lntelliGeneer:
Your correspondent, "Rusicus," on the
9th inst, published in your paper some
criticisms on the report Of a speech made
nv me at Grafton in reference to the Con-
stitutional Amendments submitted by the
last Legislature. 1 have had no opportu-
nity to reply until now, and were it not
for some glazing inaccuracies into which
your correspondent has fallen, II should
not now say anything. He says lam "in
favor OF Of the present County Court sys-
lem" This / distinctly disavowed,
I am not. But ! am in favor OF
an intermediate court between the
,Jnstice's Court and the Circuit Court.
He certainly does not mean what
he said, when he declares there can
he no intermediate court except It be q
County Court" On q moment'srefection
he viii see that an intermediate Court can
he formed by Constitutional amendment,
and even without it, composed OF ONE or
more counties. Second, Rusticus is in err
ror in saving "a Justices Court Is not a
Connty Court, but a district Court" II is
diificuIt to sec how he came to such a con.
clusion in the face OF the fact that the
amendment-ArtiGle 5, Sec. 2S,distnctly
saws: 1.-THE jurisdiction OF Justices Of Inc
Peace shall extend throughout their
comfy" Under the Constitution OF 1868,
a Justice was district or township officer
-except that as conserYator Of the peace
he mad Jurisdiction throughout his county.
Under The Constitution OF 1879, as well as
under the proposed amendments, Jus
lice is county officer, 30 far as 1urisdic-
ton Is concerned.
II / understand "Rusticus" correctly he
admits the correctness oil the other propo-
sitious announced by me. He admits:
First-That Justices Courts will have to
he made courts OF record. Second-That
appeals from Justices Courts, where the
facts have been passed on by jury, can
only be had on a record Of the proceed
iDgs complained Of, made up, by the
Justice. Third-1Ie admits that 1uries be-
fore Justices will have to be paid by the
county and the county take the chances
Of collecting 1t from the litigants. These
facts being admitted, / am compelled to
oppose the amendments, even at the risk
Of being political "heretic." do not
understand that any Republican is in any
way bound to the quasi endorsement OF
The amendments given by the Grafton
Convention. am quite sure l am not. NO
such bungling absurdities form any part
OF my political creed. -,

Jake jackson md senator lIoar.


In his speech at Washington Hall on
Tuesday night, the Hon. Jake Jackson,
who boasts that he is both lawyer and a
Jackson, stated that Hon. George F. Hoar,
United States Senator from Massachusetts,,
had, in public speech, referred to Gen.
James A. Garfield as a man tainted with
corruption. We were not able in our re-
view OF Jackson's speech on the morning
following its delivery, to produce the evil
dence Of Mr.. Hoar that this statement Of
jackson was absolutely untrue. We now,
however, have his own statement at hand,
from which the reader can judge whether
Garfield was the man Senator Hoar had in
his mind when he was making the speech
from which the Hon. Jake quoted at Wash
ington Hall. Senator Hoar says:
~ was one Of the Committee who in
vestigated the Credit Mobilier, and wrote
the greater part OF the report Of the Com
mittee known as the Wilson Committee.
There uas nothing in he transaction which
in The least gaze me reason 10 distrua General
Garfrlfs absolute integrity. / expressed my
opinion ofNe absolute honor and integrity Of
General Garfield in his matter yours ago. No
man, Democrat or Republican, trho. erer serred
riM Garfield, does, Think, doubt &at he is ab.
solutely incor7tptJle. be has been for years
on Mc Committees Of Appropriation and Ways
aud Means, controlling The expenditure of mill.
iOnsupOn millions, and policies that make and
ummdke great business inteTSts."
Now We call upon Jake Jackson tomake
good his statement in regard TO Senator
IIoar, and show from any speech that he
ever made that he ever said word that
directly or indirectly referred to General
Garfield as q corrupt man.
Mr.. Jackson is a candidate ior. Governor
Of West Virginia. He ought TO be, seeing
that he belongs to SUCH an honorable
profession" and inasmuch as he is Jack
son, above retailing ialsehoods on
the stump. wechallenge him to produce
the proof that either Judge Farwell ever
made use Of the language attributed to him
in regard to General Garfield, or that
Senator Hoar ever said word in regard
10 General Garfield that conflicts in any
degree with the opinion which we have
quoted and italizcised in this article from
that Senator.
We are prepared to meet Mr.. Jackson at
all points in these ISLANDERS, and inasmuch |
rs he does not choose to deny our report
of his Fairmont speech, nor 10 cite Col.
Ben Wilson, and other Democrats named
by us, on the witness stand, to state what
they know Of Gen. Garfield, in order to cor.

CALIFORNIA.

Christians have a difficult position to
maintain in California. There are, in ALL
only 10000 members of Protestant de-
nominations, and the entire native-born
American population amounts to only
100000. There are $4,000 Irish, nearly
all of whom are Romanists; $4,000 Ger
mans, four-ffths of whom recognize no
church connections land who with other
foreigners, violate the Sabbath with pa
rades and beer-garden festivities); 1000
Spaniards, Italians, and Portuguese; s.
600 French; 5000 Mexicans, who are
Romanists or Materialists 100000 Chi
nese, etc. In all there are some 475,OOO
foreigners, and of the 100000 native
Americans mentioned, probably one-half
have one or both parents of European
birth. We get these figures from the
Catholic Presbyterian.
Of the Chinese, 900 are members of
Christian churches.
Here is a field for Home Missions.
Truly the harvest is plenteous, and the
laborers are few Who is sufficient for
these things?" And yet Christianity
does not lay down its arms; steadily, un-
falteringly it carries on the war for the
conquest of the world It's operations are
now spread over six continents, and pro-
vince after province yields genuine or
formal submission The work is heavy,
but the result is inevitable.

THAT Great Britain, the richest coun-
try on the globe, should coolly stand by
and see the Irish die of famine, is not
very creditable to British humanity.
New York is vastly more concerned on
the subject than London. In fact the
English seem to be doing very little. The
distress is largely the result of their own
oppression of Ireland, for, while there are
other causes, this is one. Even Mr.. Glad
stone declares in a recent speech that a. he
cannot forget the abominable conduct of
this country England towards Ireland
for many generations" We believe more
interest is felt in the subject in America
than in any part of Europe excepting
Ireland itself) And the American PEG
pie are sending their money to Persia to
save the furnishing there The Yankee
may be close at bargain but he spends
his money like prince, and gives it away
with princely generosity There is far
more Of this sort Humanity in America
than in Europe. The last number of the
