TEE BALL ON THE 21D.-The ball at Magnolia
Hall, on Wednesday night, was all that week
ago. we predicted it would be-the ball of the
season. A great deal of labor had been expended
in adjoining the hall, and it looked better than we
have ever seen it. All the best of the pictures
and portraits in the city silently looked and smiled
upon the animated loneliness of nearly one hum
dled beautiful ladies', moving tunefully through
the meodious rhymes of measured motion. The
supper was monument of mental taste, immortal
ling Mrs. Barber, under whose skillful manage
lnent it was gotten up. Three tables, each extend
ing the entire length of the hall, failed TO furnish
accommodations for the hosts of the hungry
PASSIONS and Omsdale's bands combined their
forces and genius in furnishing the music. which
was of character to win the applause of the most
critical of assemblies. Joe McKibben and Dick
Bentley (whcle-souled, gallant Dick, whom we
knew dozen years ago, rs one OF the best promp-
tiers on the C0&s) were there in their official char
scters with clear voices and scientific heads, d
recting the revolutions OF the time. On the whole,
Aessrs. Barber Il Oldham may congratulate them
selves getting up the largest ball that ever as
sembledin Idaho Territory.
TIE MONTANA CAsE.-The examinations Of
BuckHer before Justice Walker has occupied the
attention of the Court during the whole week The
evidence, and the arguments Of counsel, have
taken very wide range during the examination,
embracing the, career of the Vigilance Committee
at Virginia City, and the connection with it of de.
PENDANT, and the Sheriff of Madison county. We
understand that it appeared from the evidence
that HOwie was at one time member OF the Wig
lance Committee, but he denies having any con-
nection with it since he became an officer. doc
umont purpoEting to be "a requisition from Gov.
Edgerton, of Montana, upon Gov. Lyon, for the
delivery OF Buckner has been also produced, but
Gov. Lyon has left the Territory and the Sheriff
OF Boise county has no power to surrender the
prisoner without orders. The validity of the doe
ument is also denied. A motion was made to re-
mand the prisoner to the County Jail. The mo-
ton was ably argued by the counsel on both sides
Judge Hough for the People, and Hon. E. D..
HolbrOok for defendant. At this writing the me.
ton is still undecided.
There appears ts be an effort on the part of GER
tain individuals to PREJUDICE aud prejudice this case
and to give it, if possible, party cooring.
A correspondent Of the Statesman from
this city, appears to be In at interest.
The unceasing violence with which the spoken
Of carries its own REPUTATION with it; but it confirms
many in the belief of the that certain parties
here interested in obtaining the reward offered for
the delivery Of Buckner in Montana and also prevent
prosecution against themselves for acts connected with
the arrest The foolish assaults upon the Masonic fra
ternity and the County Judge inue but the
writer The Masons probably understand their duty to
themselves and to the public without any instruction
from that correspondent The pure e honesty, ability
and rreproachabe Of Judge Shepherd for nearly
twenty years this side Of the Rocky Mountains have
made Kim honored and respected by all who know
him, without distinction of party.
