PANcoAsT.-This big Davenport thief was
only held to bail on four cases, three of $500
each and one of $780, The other parties
were glad enough to get their goods without
prosecuting anybody.
Pansoast has not yet procured bail. but it
is very likely, with $500 in cash on hand, and
plenty of friends, that he can raise 81, 600,
and thus escape the penitentiary. The
course of the examining magistrate is mock
cry upon justice. The object of bail is not to
get certain amount of money from prison
or, nor should bail be fixed at uniform rate
for the same crime. The object of requiring
bail is to make certain the presence OF the pri
soner at the trial. A sum which would ensure
the presence and punishment of one man
would be ridiculously small for another and
utterly defeat the ends of Justice. Pancoast's
bail should have been fully double on every
case, aud then there would have been some
chance to punish him. Now, if he can raise
81, 600 he will be set at liberty and rob the
next town he locates in,

ROCK ISLAND BARRAcKs.-There are now
about 1000 prisoners of war at Rock Island
Barracks. Nearly the same number were re-
leased last week. All who have been releas
ed have been furnished with transportation
to some point as near as possible to their
homes, some by rail and some by boat.
Those not yet released are the persons who
originally refused to be exchanged, or to en-
list in the frontier service,-didn't want to
fight on either side or take the amnesty oath.
They have been kept until the last, and no
order has yet been received to release them.
We presume (now the others have all been
released, thus Furnishing those who refused to
be exchanged. by a little extra imprisonmens)
that orders will soon be received to send these
home also, and thus close up the prison at
Rock Island.
