SECOND DISPATCH1

SANTA Rosa, December 5th.-After recess W. V.
Huntington testified tina: the authorized capital Of
the Northern Railway was IS 400 900, at par, and
that 81 500 900 had been issued to the W. d. Com.
pany previous to August q, 1879; that his uncle,
c. P. Huntington, had presented him with stock of
the various roads, the par value Of which amounted
to $1,000 00-all Of which is now his bona fde prop
erty that Mr. Huntington, being resident of New
York most of the time, requested him to become a
Director OF those corporations to look after his in
terests; tha: he always voted as he thought best
for the interests Of those corporations, and was
never requested by defendants to pursue any wrong
or improper course.
E. II. Miller, Jr., was then called a witness and
sworn, but owing TO the absence OF some records
which are expected tonight, he was temporarily
withdrawn after few preliminary questions.
Plaintiffs counsel stated to the Court that they
had some 500 letters from Mr.. Huntington to Mr.
Cotton which they desired to offer in evidence, as
proof Of the confidential relations which existed be
tween the parties. The reading of the first one
dated Oct Der s, 1874, provoked argument of al
most two hours duration, and led the Court to sug
gest that matter affecting only third parties such
as were purely sensational be omitted in the read
ing OF letters Plaintiffs counsel agreeing so to do
the defendants objection to the introduction of the
letters in whole or IN part was overruled, and an
exception noted.

An Ideal Ballet Box.

A ballot box that can neither
cheat nor lie would apparently be
of use in American elections, and a
Boston man claims to have invent
ed such O box. So we'll satisfied
are q number of his fellow citizens
that his device offers perfect Sc
curity both against illegal voting
and fraudulent counting, that they
have obtained the incorporation Of
an American Ballot Box Associ-
alton, with a capital Of 500, 900,
for introducing it. According to
the Boston Herald, this new recep-
tacle for votes is one (which no.
body can stuff, and from which no
knavish politician can steal a single
ballot" That is the kind Of ap-
paratus that should be welcomed !;
but perhaps only experience can
show whether it is practicable to
trick this particular appliance. just
as experiment at last showed that it
was possible to beat the bell punch.
The ideal combination is a box that
cannot cheat aud officials that would
not cheat if they could.

GEN. sABix's GRAFTON.

The Memorial Day Grafton de-
livered by Gen. Sabin on Wednes-
day last deserves more than q pass
ing notice. The APPEAL is un-
able to print the address in its en-
tirety without crowding its adver-
Users to the wall, and in lieu there
of select some of the most elo-
quent and stirring passages. In all
the Grafton the word treason and
rebellion does not occur, the author
wisely avoiding all terms which
could be construed into anything
like q digging up of old animosi-
ties or a reopening of the wounds
which time, tenderness and true
manhood is SO fast healing. There
are many men who, having fought
in the war, cannot look upon their
ancient foes without wanting to
brand. them as traitors and towards,
but this class is rapidly dying out
and Gen. Sabin's high compliment
to the Southern soldiers, their
honesty and bravery, was also the
highest possible tribute he could
pay to the victors. Such utterances
goes q long way toward making the
Day what it really should be, a
mingling of the people of one
nation upon a common footing of
charity, amity and brotherhood.

ing him that, although all hope of recovery was
past the Archbishop was still anxious to know the
result of his suggestion. On November % Mr.
Mackonochie wrote "The conclusion to which
have arrived Is to acquiesce in your Grace's wish
that should resign my bene6ce You will under
stand that il is to myself aud will be to my people
great sorrow, but one which hope we shall be
willing to bear ii the true peace and liberty of the

with how strong feeling of thankful
ness to God he has received your letter Of

sideration on other foundations than money.
When it is necessary we can do without our
playthings, and are not ashamed to say we can
not afford them; even the American in Europe
no longer brides himself ON being cheated, and
haggles over his sous like any other man.
The increase among us of that quiet self-re-
spect which unconsciously grows out of an i'm
pregnable social position, shown in many
ways. The well-bred American is far less
likely now to boast'of himself or his belongings
or to assert himself by arrogant insolence, than
the Englishman or Frenchman of the same
class. He is not afraid, either, to be courteous
to everybody he meets. His own position in
this big universe is secure it will not be lost II
he takes of his hat TO tradesman. The
women of this country too, begin to live up to
the requirements of their own social code,
which is keyed Ito much higher note than that
of their English or French acquaintance.
In many ways the Nation has given proof OF
q more vital moral sense and finer human SYM
pathies. Of course the principal evidence OF any
increased sensitiveness in conscience OF any
people is to be looked for in their action on re-
Igious matters. The most careless observer
must have noted that, no matter what the de-
nomination be to which tho American belongs,
he is growing more charitable in his Judgment
of other sects, and broader and more liberal IN
his view of every subject brought before him.
He is with every year less of Baptist, no
manist or Methodist, and more of Christian
There is, too. an increasing tendency to exam
inc into the other relIg ious faiths OF the world,
and to credit each of them with it's basis OF
truth. Our fathers consigned Buddhist, Greek
and Mahometan to a common hell as I" the
heathen," but the Christian of the present time
recognizes them as brothers struggling ear
nestly toward the same goal rs himself
On the whole there Id cause to believe that
the American is acquiring moral vigor COM
mensurate with his increase in worldly prosper
ity. He may face 1888 with clear conscience.
Some of our English friends and critics lately
have found reason to warn us OF our approach
ing dvcrepitude in youth from the widespread
corruption and fraud which they detected
among us. Unfortunately politics, in which
corruption il rampant, is the foremost and most
assertlve profession in this country. The pIofes-
sonal politician ab.orbs the attention OF
strangers while he constitutes but the smallest
quantity of the people. Let The TRIBUNE
