DIsCHARGED.--G. W. Moore, full account Of
whose arrest and examination for being an ac-
cessOry in the shooting Of Reynolds at San
Juan, we gave last week, was discharged on
Wednesday. There was no positive evidence
that Moore fired at Reynolds, but it was pretty
well established by the testimony Of the phys-
clans who examined Reynolds body, that be
had been hit by six different balls. Northup, it
is certain fired but five shots, and Msore was
standing by with pistol in his haud, one bar
rel of which had been discharged. 1t was in
proof, however, that the tube Of the discharged
barrel was rusty, and exhibited the appearance
o. having been fred off at least MONTH aud
several witnesses swore that only five shets
were fred. Many of the circumstances con-
nected with this affair, the giving ofNorthup to
the charge Of Moore, who was implicated as an
accessory, and The subsequent escape Of the
principal, seem somewhat singular, to say the
least, to persons at a distance A jury might
not convict Northup Of murder, but his case is
one which demands o judicial investigation,
and no one having any regard for his character
as citizen would have assisted him In escaping
from the officers. el

NS~ The editor Of the Grass Valley Telegraph,
having been convicted Of gross inconsistency,
attempts to get out Of 1t, by stating that Mr..
Boring was the "aCting" Sheriff at the time the
sales were published in the Telegraph, and that
the editor Of the Democrat then owned an inter-
est in the Telegraph efice. Admitting that hia
statements are correct, we cannet see that his
case is made any better. 1t is not true, how
ever, that Mr.. Boring was acting as Sheriff
when the sales were published in the Telegraph ;
he was merely Deputy in the Office. He held
the office two or three weeks, by appointment,
after the resignation Of Mr.. Endicott, and du-
ring that time the sales were published in the
Democrat. The present editor Of the Democrat,
at the time referred to, held bill OF sale of the
Telegraph office, but the ownership was merely
nominal. The materials were then owned by
Mr.. 8. Thomas, and the enolumeats of the estab-
lishment went to its present editor.

A SECRET ORGANIzATIoN.-A paragraph was
published few days ago in the Sacramento
Bee, credited to the Nevada Democrat, stating
that the Republicans were organizing secret
political party, similar to the late Know Moth

with the Sonoma Democrat, and must have been
credited TO us through mistake, as We never
made any statement of the kind. We have
heard intimations to the effect that secret po-
litical party was being formed, but have no ev-
idence Of the fact ..fs.

to as: The two men had got inte difficulty
on Sunday evening. They met again, in Bes-
ton Ravine, about noon on Monday. Conners
told Cummings that they had better drop their
difficulty, and 20 into Cloonan's and take a
drink, to which Cummings assented. AS Cum
mings was standing at the bar, Conners came
up behind and stabbed him under the left shou[
der-blsde with bowie knife, killing him al
most instantly. The parties standing around,
instead Of arresting the murderer, went after a
warrant, thus giving him an opportunity to es-
cape. Conners went to Allison Ranch, drew
some money due him for work, and left. on
Ger Van Hagan was in Grass Valley Monday
afternoon, but was net able to get any infor-
nation as to the whereabouts of the murderer.
The murderer and victim were both Irishmen.
Cummings has been living for some time at
French Corral. He went to Grass Valley,
where be has a brother, on Sunday, to get en-
ployment. His brother had procured him .
