Minor Criminal Offences.

A Bill has passed the House OF Re.
presenta,ives Of this State by vote OF
7s to II, which provides for giving jus.
tices Of the peace, final jurisdiction in the
tlial Of minor criminal offenses. This
bill classiies those offences not punishable
in the Penitentiary, and after setting aside
one class of the higher grade. places the
rest under the jurisdiction Of Tie justices
of the peace, to be tried in the townships
1t allows the accused, il they demand it
to have jury called, and to be tried by
their peers as in the higher courts. 1t al.
so provides that the rulings Of justices.
in any case arising under it shall be sub.
ject to revision by the Common Pleas.
The friends Of this measure claim for
1t the advantage Of prompt trial Of these
offences, and more certainty Of their pun
ishment, while it will ensure to the aceus-
ed. trial where he and his case are well
understood. 1t will also reduce the cx.
pense of trying and furnishing these Of
fences SO far below the present method Of
trying them in the Common Pleas, as that
the costs will be counted in cents instead
OF dollars.
Should this bill pass the Senate and be-
come law it will save tho taxpayers Of
the State Of Ohio thousands Of dollars in
the shape Of costs now paid in the trial Of
petty criminal cases by the Court of Com
mon Pleas.

One day last week part of the COM

or six extra horses and twelve or fifteen
men. passed through this place, on their
return from Denver City to Leaven-

They report very favorably Of the
route up the Kansas River and Smoky

best road 10 the gold regions on the
Eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains.
They say the distance by the Smoky
Hill route. by measurement. is over one

tween the same points on the Platte
River road; that the ground over which
The irst named road passes is much
more level and smoother than the latter:
that where trains have 10 drag through
miles of sand beds on the Platte road
on this they have no sand except a. the
crossings Of streams. and such places
are not more than rod in length: tha,
a good span Of horses can draw 1000 lbs

that. even in this dry season. there is
plenty Of water the whole distance; that
there is a sufiiciency of wood. with a

much more abundant and luxuriant
