Timely Remarks,

Judge Freelon, of the criminal de. partment of the Superior Court of San Francisco, in passing sentence on Patrick Barry, for perjury in the Kalloch case, said:
 It is custom of the judge of this court to add to the severity of its sentences severity of language in announcing it. The court has often enough stated that perjury is the worst crime committed in a civilized community governed by law. It strikes at the foundation of all law and social system. It is probable that if the court could legislate il, would make perjury punishable by a penalty at least as severe as that which IS attached to any crime known to criminal codes. Nor does the court desire to impress upon the com. munity the fact that perjury is be coming so frequent as to endanger the whole objects of cou,t and gov. ernment The fact is known to every lawyer and to every juror that it is so. Whenever perjury is proved, and there are no mitigating circu n- stances of youth, ignorance, possible mist ake, or anything of that kind, this co IT: will always i've to the convicted perjurer the highest pen alty which the law allows. The ex- 'cuse or the circumstances in mitiga- ton which were offered by the de. fendant himself when called as a witness in this case, if possible, adds to the enormity of the offense. The deceit, the meanness of the object of this defendant, as announced by hlm. self here upon the stand, which in duced the perjury, adds, in my opin. ion, moral obliuuity to the legal obliquity which the jury found. The judgment of the law and the sen. tence of the court is that you be i'm. prisoned in the state prison of the State of California for the term of fourt en years.

George Scovilie'. Remarks.

CHICAGO, March l5.-George Sec, vile remarked to reporter that he believed it was the best thing for the country that Guiteau should hang, for then there would be revulsion in public feeling and Griteau would do the country the great service of bringing about a revision of the laws to protect the insane. He had, how ever, asked President Arthur to have Guiteau sent to prison for life, and then If he became ravlng maniac it would be easy to have him sent to an asylum. He believed the Garfield. Rosecrans letter greatly angered the president.

apply themselves to the considera. ton of their improvement. In the present application of these methods they are unfair and oppressive to the poor man, while they are indulgent to the wealthy. President Asten, of the tax department of this city, re. gently said to reporter:
 As an instance of how the tax operates Il poor man, with a large family, who has $500 saved for his children from his earn inss, was here this morning to see if he could not escape paying personal tax As he could not swear of, he is obliged tu pay. After he had gone out man doing large business in this city came in and made affidavit that he was not liable for any personal tax. He said that he had $3OO,OO0 invested in a manufactory in Hartford, Conn, but that he only kept q 'slesro0m in this city with samples of his goods.
 It is generally known that Cyrus w. Field, Jay Gould, Russell Sage, the Lorillards, and many other mil l,onaires paid no personal taxes what ever last year, and will not pay any this year. The streets in the vicinity of "le Palais Vanderbilt" were blockaded with the carriages of those who, on Tuesday last, thronged to view its vast and varied stores of ar tistic wealth, and yet MT. Vanderbilt after a careful examination some tune ago by the commissioners of taxes, was declared not liable to tax. ation upon any personal property. Not caring, as he said, to be called "a pauper millionaire" he voluntar- fly submitted to pay personal tax on Sl,00O.00O. If 2 legal remedy is not found for these disgracefully un. just, and, to the poor, absolutely op- pressive inconsistencies in our meth ods of taxation, it will be wonder if, sooner or later, a remedy of less agreeable character is not applied by the people themselves, in their exc. cutive capacity, without any legisla- tive interference or authority.

'c S's'SAN tOhh sbS ANS " York Daily Stockholder rather flat. tsrs the EPITAPH, whose columns from the first have been devoted to fostering legitimate mining, not only in Tombstone, but throughout, the Territory. That we have succeeded m establishing reputation for re- liable information is evidenced by the fact that interruptions men bor- row it's name to aid in attracting attention to their wild schemes, and get such. influential journals as the Stockholder to lend the endorsement of its columns by crediung to the EPITAPH what otherwise would be by them passed by as unworthy republi- cation. It is unnecessary for us to say that we know of no such property as the Charles Dickens, either in Tombstone or elsewhere, and that did such valuable @ property lie around loose in these parts there would be hundred eager buyers, ready to take it on the owners terms. Here is'tho Stockholders article:
 The Tombstone Epitaph says: ""Last Monday we paid visit to the famous Charles Dickens mine, where it had been reported another import. an. find had been made during the past two or three weeks. When he went to his trunk and passed out for our inspection large pieces of ore that were merely pure gold and sil yer, we were much surprised at their great wealth. The pieces of sul phurets and native silver were held together by wires of gold, and, be, sides being valuable, were very hsnd. some. After examining the speci. mems, we proceeded with him to in spect the mine and ore. After pass ing through 500 feet of the main tun nel we entered the south crosscut, where tunnel is running on the richest vein. In the lace of this tunnel, which is 900 feet in the hill and 300 feet below the surface, We found the vein to be nearly two fee, in width, and in it we could plainly see gold and silver diffused through the ore. This vein all along the tul. nel yields shipping ore that averages $2SOO per ton, the first class average assays being $36Sl AS and the second class $972.j4. It will be seen by these figures that of the fortv.ive or fifty tons of shipping ore being sacked more than half is first.clsss Stopping has commenced, and by spring a large quantity of ths rich ore in sight will be sacked ready for shipment. The ore in the lower ore house averages sl52 63 per ton, while the upper ere house IS nearly filled with richer ore than has ever been worked in the arastra. The waste dump, according to tests to ascertain its value, averages $l5.7l. Count. ing all of the ore out, the quantity IS 5000 tons. We would like to see a mill on this mine. The crushing of twenty or twenty five tons of ore per day would astonish the world with the products. If the mine was in Nevada or Montana, capital would be glad to get it for $l,000,OOO. IL is the best mine in America, and has all the advantages of timber, mill sites, etc."
