jury to render vindictive damages in libel
suit, or acQuit a seoundrel of the deepest
dye, whose guilt is as plain and unmistakable
as the sunlight at MONDAY. do not deemit
advisable TO 60 into details to-day on this
matter, but suffice It to say, the police have
in their hands letters and proof Of the most
conclusive character against o large number
Of parties who are implicated in this in
famous business. The unexpected decision
of the jury in the Downs Wilson-Bulletin
libel suit created q suspicion in the minds OF
various parties that there was power be-
hind the throne somewhere, and the failure
to agree in another libel case was looked
upon as remarkable in view Of the testimony
and the law On the subject; but the acQuittal
Of Moses Frank, Of the Utah Mining Com
pany forHeries, on several indictments, and
the failure to agree in others, was considered
the most astonishing aud unaccountable OF
oil things, aud the police obtained clue at
last, through the disaffection of one Of the
brokers engaged in tampering with the
juries, who let out tho whole matter in re-
venge for the non-ful6llment Of promise for
the payment Of 800, which he claimed US
due him for "seryices rendered" Only
three men, E. P. Clark, Geo. D. Rich and
John Payne are as yet arrested, but more
arrests will doubtless follow. All the de-
PENDANTS are in the calaboose in default Of

will serve as sample OF all. therefore
give it in full:
State OF California, CITY and County Of
San Francisco, ss.-Police Judges Court
Personally appeared before me, this 18th day
Of June, 1865, Fl. H. Ellis, who deposes and
says, that on the twelfth day Of June, 1865,
in said City and County, the crime Of taking
money, presents and reward by a juror was
committed, to wit, by one John Payne; he
the said John Payne being then and there
juror enpaneled In tina County Court Of said
City and County and sworn to try cause
wherein the People Of the State Of California
were plaintiffs and one Moses Franks de-
fendant, did then and there, in pursuance of
a former agreement, feloniously, corruptly,
unlawfully and knowingly, take and receive
certain moneys, presents and reward, and
did then and there feloniously, corruptly, I'M
lawfully and wilfully take and make a con-
tract with one Sykes, he the said Sykes then
and there acting in behalf OF said Moses
Franks, for the payment and delivery of GER
tain moneys, presents and reward, and he the
said John Payne, feloniouSly, corruptly, un-
lawfully and Wilfully, did allow himself to be
influenced and was influenced to decide in
favor of said Moses Franks on the said trial,
and either to procure the acqnittal Of said
Franks or cause the jury to disagree; and
hyy roa ann ~ tho f,,l6lIn, anf of end nm
tract, made az aforesaid BY the said John
Payne with said Sykes, and by reason of the
expectation Of receiving such moneys, pres
ents and reward, he the said John Payne, as
such juror, did decide in favor Of the said
Moses Franks on said trial by reason
whereof said Franks was not convicted. All
OF which is contrary to the form Of the statute
in such cases made and provided, and against
the peace and dignity Of the people Of the
State of California"
THE FOURTH.
The preparations for the Fourth are going
on upon an immense scale, and the celebra-
ton bids fair to utterly eclipse everything
ever before attempted here, but the eyerlast-
ing "nigger" is 10 the fence, making trouble
as usual. Are we nereT to be rid OF that
question: The Committee OF Arrangements,
after much consultation, decided to invite
the colored population to participate in the
celebration, and they accepted; but already
grumbling 10 heard ON all sides, and hun
dreds who would otherwise have turned out
in the procession, will now abstain from
demonstrating" don't admire Sambo in
the abstract myself, but it does seem that,
now that the Committee have given the inri.
tation, less fuss over few decently dressed
negroes in the procession might be made.
We march with them without a murmur
when we 70 out on target excursions, why
not allow the same proportionate number
place in our National Holiday procession:
