- closed and the witnesses must stand on

take to say, that something approaching TO
perjury or false witnsss-ss cssuists may

another, when tho documents are given to
the world. Charges have been made, which
have not only failed 10 be sustained, but
which arc disnpproycd by every witness in
dicted to Justify the allegations. There
can be no misapprehebsion on such points.
The parties removed are guilty, or the par
ties eliminating. aro perjured. One or
other ofthcse extreme alternatives is pre-
scented 10 the case now under remark, and
there is no possibility Of escape from lie
responsibility which it-involves. Nj. Bur,

CAPTAIN PH,Lirs AND fns GsAsb JuRy OF Rock
ISLAND CouNry.--We learn that on last I hurs-
day evening" q telegraph dispatch was received
from Davenport, nnorncing TINT the Grand Jury
Of Rock Island county, Illinois, had found bills
Of indictment against two citizens of Illinois,
md also:two Of our town;fos the muruer IT sOl
Nick,o who, Il will be remembered, WINS G lpsain
Philips mnn-of-all,work, and was killed nearly
year ago, either by C.pi. Phillips himself, or
BY some persons unk nown. We give . state
mens Of facts, in relation 10 tho matter, at the
time Of its occurrence. The affair was never
brough, before any judicial tribunal for exnmina-
tion, until during the last winter, when Captain
PHILIPPE, Tor the sake Of exctement--witii which
he cannot live-swore out d warrant hEsinst TWO
citizens Of Ilinois--had them arrested and ex-
amined before Justice in Rick fAand, who
discharged them for the feafon that il was clear
y established before him, 'that c .ptain Phillips
and his hopeful son Johnny, were not entitled 10
credit, and their statements could not DO b.liev-
Cd hv any person who knew them.
We supposed this would settle the matter; but
we were mistaken. A Grand Jury Of Rick Is
land county have gravely listened TO the motor
ious Captain John Phillips statements, and have
eAhumed from the grave s'whcrein we saw him
quietly inurned," tho malignant propensi'ics for
'v''. Of which he 10 conn ored. Tue charge OF
mnTdar when endorsed by a q and jury, becomes
livery serious affair, and requires cool and dis
passionate consideration. .Nu~atiae Jotre1E
