PROCEEDINGS IN JUSTICE CoURT.-Frank
Williams, who was arrested some time since
on charge of horse stealing, near Boise
City, had an examiaa4ion before Justice
Walker, on Wednesday, and was discharged,
the proofs being pretty clear that he had
traded for the property which he was accused
of stealing, the real :hief, meanwhile, had
escaped detection. Several accusations for
passing counterfeit dust have been made DUR
ing the week, but, yet, no sufficient proofs
have been adduced to fasten the crinae OF will
fully passing spurious dust, on any particular
person. That there is a large quantity of
bogus gold afoatis beyond cavil, inasmuch
as the acid tests that are being made daily in
court fully verify the fact; but any person not
an expert is liable to become possessed of it
innOcently in the ordinary course of trade,
and consequently subject to arrest. There is
a nest and fountain head some where, and
we have faith to believe the officers will ferret
it out, but it takes time to do these things
The business men of the Basin should make
it an inducement to any detective who will
break up the band, by Offering reward.

New ExcITEMENTs.-For a week or two
pastiparties have been quietly fixing up and
fleaving for some new discovery, in the direc-
tion of the head waters of the Payette. On
Monday we had an interview with gentle
man who had just returned from trip to that
region, and he reports that about one hun
dred miles from here, in nottherly direc-
ton, on the north fork of the Payette, he
found bar that prospected about four cents
to the pan, with some eighteen inches of
wash ground, but beyond that he was UNI
able to find anything that he could call pay
dirt. He had no difficulty in finding the
color anywhere, and everywhere, and occa-
sIonally as high as hundred colors were OBJ
tanned, but SO fine that it was poor prospect
notwithstanding their number In bis trav-
els, our informant went within twenty miles
of Warren's diggings. Water was plenty in
the Payette where he found the four cent dirt
and available to work the bar. He showed
US some specimens of rose quartz, discovered
by himself, on this side of the Payette
that were really rich in gold. Tie LEDGE as
we'll as he could judge, was five or six feet
thick; and, as it is situated in this county, /
they came in to have it recorded. We have
no doubt from the appearance of tde rock,
but they have found country rich at least in
gold bearing quartz, and perhaps ia placer
diggings; Of this. however, We shall have
more to say, as we are further Uniformed on 4
the return of some friends who have gone
with the crowd to see what it all amounts to.

States not in insurrectiOn or rebeon-the arbi-
trary military arrest, imprisonment, trial and
sentence Of American citizens in such States
where civil law exists in full force and reign
the suppression Of freedom of speech and Of the
press-the open and avowed disregard of State
rights-the fanatical attempt to place the negro

THE ABSENT ONE.

Two little feet at early morn
hear upon the stair;
Two little cheeks are pressed to mine,
Hall hid in golden hair.
Tv0 little hands at twilight hour,
Close elAsped in child like prayer,
Two little knees in reverence bent,
Ask GOd's protecting care.
Two little arms about my neck,
Fillan my heart with love
Two sweet blue eyes look full in mine,
Like stars from Heaven above.
But now the little arms are still,
Yhe sweet blue eyes are dim;
The dimpled cheeks are smooth and pa lie
The psst seems like dream.
No patter now Of little feet,
Upon the chamber stairs
A mothers tears have well embalmed
The curly golden hair.
The little hands are claSpsd above,
Before the throne of God,
And angels sing around the babe,
Sweet hymns Of praise and love-

The weapons were rifles, the diStanc
sixty yards, and in q very few minutes
the ground was measured and everything
ready. For the first time then that day,
there was silence, each straining to hear
the word and see the firing. At last it
came. "Are you ready, gentlemen p
One, two, three Fire /" and the sharp
crack Of the rifles rang through the gully,
and the heavy thud Of Waldron's body
followed it. The crowd stood still for an
instant, and the seconds bent over him.
He was dead-shot directly through the
heart.
There was low, suppressed murmur
ran over the crowd, which in few min
utes broke out into wild conversation
and then learned that this Was The third
member of the Waldron family that
Jones had killed within the year. l had
little time to consider it, for q nightly
shout went up from the crowd, and
turned to see dark, tall lad, who could
not have been over seventeen standing in
the spot where but few minutes before
the murderous ball had passed through
human heart, and to hear from those
about me that it was the younger broth
er of Waldron.
A very little time elapsed when the Sec
ond command was given, "Are you ready,
gentlemen One, two, three Fire !"
~ y -. KS (aIAted ksA-ft e.. ?
the younger WaEdron sitting supported
by his seconds. A few minutes elapsed,
and could see there was an argument
proceeding between principal and seconds.
They lifted him to his feet, but he could
not stand. Once more he was seatcd, and
two whisky casks were brought to prop
him in sitting posture, and it was un.
derstood there was to be another shot. |
took look at the face of Jones while this
was going on, but might as well have
looked into the face ofa statue.
Once more the rifles were loaded, once
more the word was given, and the sharp
crack answered. At that instant had
my eyes upon, Jones, and | saw him start
quickly, and turn suddenly toward the
left, open his mouth wide as though gasp
ing for air. Then he made three or four
rapid steps towards the crowd, holding
his rife out before him, staggered and fell
fiat on his face. For moment his Sec
onds seemed paralyzed, and then hasten
ing to raise him he came up with his
hands full of the grass where he had fall
en-, and his mouth filled with blood
They held him so only for an instant, for
in that time the strong mans body be-
came limp, and he dropped to the earth a
dead man.
This finished the duel for that day,
though there was talk about the last VIC
tim having son, a growing lad who was
certain to take up the affair within year,
and fight it to conclusion, he being the
last member of that branch of the family
Of Jones.
Memphis thatnight was riotously noisy,
and drunken, over the event Of the day,
as we'll as curiously sympathetic to hear
the doctors report on the case of young
Waldron, that they. might calculate clos, =
ly how long it would be before they
would have another holiday over the fight
of the younger Jones and the wounded
