several States, and still greater advant-


ages Of this kind may be expected in


the near future. The time Is not very


fsr distant when the entire expenses


Of the free schools for all classes of


people in the South will be paid out


of the public funds. Then the, income


OF the Association can be eoncen-


trated on the mission churches and


the higher institutions of learning.


The American Missionary Association


has done more than the Congress of


the United States has ever done, or


ever can do, for the permanent recon-
struction of the South. Mere legis-


lation can never secure peace and har-
mony between the sntagonistic races.
An ignorant and vicious people can
not win the respect and confidence of
their neighbors by any process of law.
Only as the freed people acquire
worthy character can they secure social
and political standing beside their late
masters. They must be educated, they
must acquire property, they must ex-
hibit moral worth, and then the true
basis of peace and harmony will be
established. The Association is giving
them the opportunity to show that
they are MEN, that they are capable of
intellectual and moral improvement,
that they can make money for them
selves, and pro6tsbly use it. Under
the the guidance Of the wise and prao-
tical teachers employed by the Assc-
ciation, the people are saving their
earnings, are obtaining homes for them
selves, and are thus securing, as they
could in no other way, the respect and
good will of the white race. These
things are apparent in every communi-
ty where the Association has been at


work; but alas there are vast and
populous districts where no work of
the kind has yet been done, because
the means necessary could not be OBJ
tanned.


To continue the work at the impor-
tant points where it has been begun.
and to extend it to every desti-
tute neighborhood, Is our present
duty and privilege. Patriotism, phi
lanthropy, and religion unite their
voices in calling US to this work. JUS

by it. Compassion for the earth's per-
shing multitude should move us; and

NEW YORK, November 26.-In the


Ingersoll and Harrington case this after


noon, Tremaine closed for the prosecu-


ton, and Judge Davis delivered


lengthy charge occupying over two hours.


On the first count in the charge, on


indOrsing the name of Heath & Smith,


it was enough. if there was collusiOn


between Ingersoll and Harrington,


though one of them might not


have touched the paper; and the


second count in the charge of lettering


the warrant fraudulently, the judge


said it is sufficient to establish that the


defendants issued the warrant knowing


it to be forged for the purpose of getting


the money of the county transferred to


Ingersoll's credit. The theory OF the
prosecution was that the bill had been


made out at the sanction OF Ingersoll,


and being a courthouse commissioner,


he used the name of the extinct firm of
Heath & Smith. 1t was then neces-


sary to forge the Endorsement of Heath


& Smith to transfer the money. There
is some doubt as to who wrote this in


dorsement. The writing is neither


Heath's nor Smiths. Mr.. Far


rington, 1t is conceded, wrote the
body of the bill, and an expert testifes


that the signature was written by the
same person, but it is not so material


whose writing it is, provided it was done
by the agency, and under the control of
both or either of the defendants for a
common object. The paper got into In
gersoll's hands, and it required an in
dorsement for payment, and was in
dorsed, and in the absence of an explain
alton the jury must decide on facts. IfI
they believed the defendant Earring
tom had the permission TO use the
name of Heath & Smith, the
jury could net convict of forgery,
Notwithstanding the enormous frauds
on the city that we all believe were COM
mitted, and which were proved on an
other trial. You are to look on this case
rather than upon the evidence before
you; but if you find it one of number
of frauds you should remember it is of
the highest importance that pub
lie officers should be held to a
strict account and punished; for
such offenses, unlike sordinary ones,
show no yielding to the sudden impulse
of anger; no giving way before the |
temptation of weakness or want, but |
coolness and deliberat on in robbing |
those whom they were bound to protect, |
which should call for cOndign punish |
ment. If you find both or either not
guilty, acquit; if otherwise, convict. |
The jury retired at four forty-five and |
returned in half an hour with a verdict |
of "guilty.u Sentence deferred to Fri |

J. Gen. Gillem and a. number of officers
visited the late lava>bed stronghold, and


were much astonished at the Ingenuity of
the Modocs in their artificial work Oh these


natural fortifications. At one spot they
constructed winding gallery up a rocky
bluff, which was guarded by side wall of
broken rocks so placed as to render it inn
pregnable to musketry from any point.
Every prominent rock that commanded an
approach was fortified with breastworks Of
with their guns at rest and perfect security
from the fire of the attacking party. Our
shells, however, were too hot for them.


WHAT THE OLD sQUAw SAID.


The old Modoc squaw, who was captur-
ed in the rocks, and who was recognized
by John Fairchild as Black Jim's mother
in-law, was in a great scare, but finally,
after finding that nobody was going to
hurt her, and, getting plenty of muck-a-
muck, she became communicative and told
what she remembered of the fight. She
said on the first day one of the big balls,
meaning shells, fell near where the bucks
were sitting in council, and that One-Eyed
Jake, one of the Shacknasty family, ran
and picked it up and took it over to John
SchOnchin and another Indian. and they
all three tried to bite 1t. At this interest
ing juncture the big ball broke into pieces,
and they were all three killed.


This story is probably true, as the body
of One-Eyed Jake was found with his hand
blown off and stomach torn to pieces by
an exploded shell, though Commissioner
Meacham claims to have given Schonchin
his fatal wound on the day of the massa-
ere. The old squaw said that four others
had been killed on the first day by musket
balls, and she had been hid in a crevice
ever since and did not know what was
done afterwards. Ea Q4kT1 I'll

Pennsylvania company, continues
about 400 out Of the 1000 employed,
still standing out. Other skilled men
have been found to take the places Of
many OF the strikers, and most of the
passenger and come OF the freight
trains are again running with their &C.
customed regularity. While the strikers
have not receded from the demand
that their wages be not reduced, the
Company will not recede from their de-
termination to reduce the wages and
salaries OF all their employees from su-
perintendent down to the humblest
clerk, brakeman, section master or
wiper. Work has generally been sus-
pended in the shops of the company,
and every species OF emp!oye discharg.
ed except such as can be used
to set the trains TO running again and
at the reduced wages. The strike has
occurred at q season when it will do the
Comp pany the least harm, for it is the
season of the greatest dullness in both
freight and passenger traffic, and the
season Of the greatest wear and tear Of
machinery. While the season OF the
year is the best for the Company
in which strike could oc-
cur, If a strike must come at all, it is
the most unfortunate season for the
strikers. With the pinching cold Of
the winter, and the worse pinching OF
general financial arrangement and
depression, when employment is scarce
and hard to secure in any branch OF
trade, and prices ollabor as well as of
its products shrinking everywhere, the
Brotherhood o! Engineers has proba-
bly, done bad thing for its members
and, it may be, a good thing for the
Company against which it has struck.


It;is proper 10 say here that we were
mistaken in saying on Saturday morn
ing that the Pennsylvania company
was in arrears with its employees. All
were paid up to the first OF this month,
aad at that time notice was given that
the reduction OF 10 per cent upon the
wages and salaries OF all employees
would take effect from that date. This
order was acquiesced in by all in the
service OF the company, except by the
Engineers aud Firemen. They at once
responded that unless the old wages
were continued they would strike on
the Goth.

For THE Ladies. Ladies have, 70
doubt, often wondered why cashmere
shawls are so expensive. A part Of
the reason at least is thus explained;


1t is only the summer wool that is
used, and this is blesched by a prepa-
ration of rice and -four. On plain
shawls, the weaving is effected By q
long, heavy and narrow shuttle, but
this is superseded by wooden needles
when the more ordinary variegated
shawls are to be made. For each col-
ored thread a different needle is used.
So slow is the process when the design
is elaborate that the completion OF
a square inch will occupy three persons
for a day, and shawl OF remarkable
beauty would take this number OF
years for its execution; but q number
are engaged on the same shawl, accord
ing to The speed required. Siogularly
enough, it is only the inner side OF the
shawl that is exposed to the view OF the
workman, be being guided by the de-
sisn placed before him and the dlrec-
tons of q skilled supervisor OF the
work. The thread is previously spun
and died by women.

as a reward for his mild design. The
Professor went, according to promise,
but returned some months aiterward and
after au interval of idleness again ac-
cepted the post Of principal of the col
lege. Matters went along swimmingly
until his eccentricities again began to
crop out, furnishing much food for gossip.
At one time his mania was shown in ei-
forts to join all the different religious de-
nominations in the town. and at another
time betraying weakness for something
else equally ridiculous. His wife died very
suddenly, and within four months there
after he married girl Of sixteen, a pupil


in the college. Grave suspicious as to
the cause of the death of the first wife
were whispered about, coupled with
whiapers as to the antenuptial relations
Of the newly married pair, and the col
lege trustees finally took up the matter,
and passed an order dismissing the
principal, which was published in the
town paper He was not thus easily to
be got rid Of, however, and swore with
terrific intonation that he would
teach until June :" or shed the
last DIR r-r.op of his hearts best blood 7"

trustees would steal n march on him by
locking up the college at night, five Of

The women will vote, in time, for their cause
is that of common sense, and common justice.
AZ we have already remarked, it was the law of
suffrage which was tried before Judge Hunt, at
Uanandaigua, and not Miss Anthony, and it is to
be sorrowfully admitted that the law made q
miserable figure. II is once more shown to be
full of contradictions, shifts, and evasions. The
constitutional andlegal rule OF the right to vote
proves, again, as previous investigation has al
ways disclosed it, to be batch OF botched
work.


Thus, Judge Hunt seriously and solemnly
rules that


THE right OF voting. or the privilege Of
voting, IL right, or privilege arising under the
Constitution Of the State, and not of the United
States. II the right belongs to any particular
person. it is because such person is entitled to
it rs citizen OF the State where he offers to ex-
ercise it. and not because of citizenship OF the
United States. II the State of New York should
provide that no person should vote until he had
reached the age OF 81 years, or after he had
reached the age OF 30, or that no person hay-
ing gray hair or who had not the possession of
all his limbs. should be entitled to vote, do
not see how it could be held to be violation of
any right derived or held under the Constitution
OF the United States"

Was there ever such nonsense as this enacted
by Legislatures, or accreted by the decisions OF
Courts


Once more, that scsndalous and disgraceful
clause in the Fourteenth Amendment arose
to do further injury to what ought
to be the law. The provision in that
Amendment which enacts that il the right to
vote for Federal officers IL denied by any State
to any OF the male inhabitants Of such State, ex-
cept for crime, the basis of representation Of
such State shall be reduced in proportion spec
ihed, was triumphantly dragged up to the light
by Judge Hunt, and made part OF his judg-
ment, the poor old tattered remnant of tho
slave system stinking once more in the nostrils
OF all sensible people. 1t was put into the Com
stitution most inadvsedly and it ought be cut
out, clean and clear.


This whole subject of the Law of Suffrage is
imperfectedly comprehended, even yet, and the
disposition to give to the States degree of con-
troll over it which they ought not to have is dam
gerously great, especially in the Courts.
