Christmas is at hand. The season has
come for the display of charity. The
poor exploited laborer Of London is to
get charitable dinners, etc., on Christ
mas day, for even the commercial heart
softens at this time. But the poor man
only needs charity because the fruits, Of
his toll havebeen stolen !; and by whom?
By those who are now about to show be-
neyolence to him. I have no desire to
sneer at men and women who feel for
and would feed the hungry, But it IS
well to point out that they belong to a
class who live by confseating the pro-
ducts made by those who are poor. If
Justice we're not withheld charity would
be unnecessary. Sf

THE SATURDAY JOURNAL

The Saturday Journal of tomorrow, the
18th instant, will contain the story by Louise
Chandler Moulton, written and printed under
a special arrangement, entitled "Nan." 1t is
the story of a New England girl, and has
all the freshness and charm of Mrs. Moulton's
well-known and universally admired style.
Besides this, we shall also print an original
story. printed by a like special arrangement
with the author, from the pen of Marion Har-
land, entitled WAS It a Ghosts" 1t is not
often any paper prints two original stories
from such writer's as Mrs. Moulton and Marion
Harland in the same issue. Besides these,
the Saturday Journal will contain all its usual
miscellaneous, literary and news features.

SHOWING the farcical spirit which so often
underlies extreme Temperance" legislation,
the report comes that Bob Hamill, the author
of the anti-treating law, was arrested in Wells,
New, on the 25th ult. for violating the same.
He was released on his own recognizance.
Such a statute as the Nevada anti treating law
simply results in driving people to the use of
all sorts of subterfuges to evade its penalties,
and tends to bring all law into popular con-
tempt and disuse. Law can never compel the
criminal treatment of what the overwhelming
sentiment of the people does not recognize as
a crime. AS well issue bulls against comets.

AJURY in a Pennsylvania court, tired of
the prolixity of a c~ross-examiner, who, doubt
less, thought he was making a brilliant dis
play Of his legal abilities, took a novel method
OF obtaining relief. Two jurymen interrupted
proceedings, and, stating to the judge that
they regarded the questions being put to the
witness as irrelevant, impertinent, and alto
gether apart from the issue before the court,
requested that the examiner be ordered to cut
the examination short. The jurymen further
added that their time was too valuable to allow
them to sit quietly and listen to the triAing
impertinence and foolish witticisms of mem
bers of the bar. The judge, as might have
been expected, refused to admonish the coun-
sci to attend strictly to business, but promptly
dismissed the case, on the ground that the
jury was prejudiced. There are pointers
in the affair which attorneys and iuries might
both find useful.

The clamor raised by Californians against
the admission of Chinese children to the pub
lie schools led to the passage of an act by the
Legislature requiring the establishment of
separate schools. AS a consequence, the anti
heather souls of the people in one district are
narrowed by the fitting up of a school, at an
expense Of $40 a month, fer the sole and ex-
elusive benefit of one Chinese child. The
unreasonable Caucasians from Cork will not

IT is stated that Encouragement Garland
has finally given an opinion that General Law
ton, Of Georgia, appointed minister to Russia,
is eligible to hold Office under the government.
The situation is this: General Lawton was
the acknowledgement Of the confederate
army, and thereby incurred possible penalties
for his reasonable action. He received, dur
ing the days when pardons were issued by
the wholesale, a pardon from President
johnson. There is no question but this
operated as a complete bar to any proceeding
against him for rebellion, and placed him
where he would have been, as a citizen of the
United States, had he never served in the
confederate army. But after this pardon was
issued the fourteenth amendment to the Con-
stitution was adopted, which added a new
qualification for ofice-holding, and this, GER
tainly, the antecedent pardon of President
johnson had no power to suspend or annul. The
disabilities imposed by the fourteenth amend
ment must be removed by Congress. That is
the only constitutional way; the pardon Of
the President, issued prior to the adoption of
that amendment, certainly cannot be held to
abridge the constitutional qualifications
required of an ofice-holder. That this is the
view generally held is fully shown from the
fact that a large number of prominent South
erners, in precisely the same position as
General Lawton, applied to the last Congress,
and were relieved. for the very purpose of
rendering them qualified to accept and hold
Office under the incoming Democratic admin
i~stration. General Lawton did not see
fit to do what the Constitution i'm
poses, saying he did ''not think it worth
while" He thought 80 little Of his citizen
ship, or else was soproud Of his rebellion, that
he preferred to remain under his disabilities
rather than ask for relief while a Republican
administration was in power. 1t is for such a
man and under such circumstances
that an Attorney general of the United
States has used all his legal acumen to
nullify the Constitution Of his country. It
has come to this, that the Constitution
amounts to nothing when an ex-rebel, who
will not ask for relief, is to be put ainto a fed
eral office. Did ever a Union man or a Union
soldier ask that the Constitution be ignored
for his benefit This Lawton case case is one
of the big straws showing the drift of the wind
under a Democratic -ex-c confederate admins
tration.

Barney McAuley's Brother.

Louisville C0urier-Journal
In the published accounts of the unhappy pra
dicament to which the devil of drink has reduced
poor Barney McAuley a most cruel injustice il
being done the family Of the wrecked actor.
More aifectionate or moro generous people da
not live, and we have positive knowledge Of the
fact that both brothers of the unhappy man
have followed his wanderings with the most
jealous and solicitous care; have sent money in
abundance, and have done all that love and duty
could do to arrest his downward course. All hiz
debts in Cleveland were paid. A proper watch
was set upon the poor fellow after his release
from the hospital. But to no avail. He seemed
bent upon the road to destruction, and friends
and kindred were pow erless to save him.
