No COURT.-It seems probable that we
are to have no court here this Fall A let
ter received on Friday last by Deputy Clerk,
w f. Yocum, from Judge Wycho informs
him that the Judge has q obtained leave Of
absence and will not be here to hold his
term of Court The members Of the bar
here, on the receipt of this news telegraphed
Immediately to Judge Hewitt, Of Olympia,
requesting his attendance, but as yet no re-
ply has been received from him IF he comes
he cannot possibly reach here so as to open
Court before next Monday, and he will be
compelled to be at Vancouver on the 10th,
to open the Court there, so that the term
hero would be of less than weeks dura-
ton. Judge Wyche states that he had
written to Judge Hewitt to take his place
here, but if his letter bore date date with
that of his "notice" to Mr.. Yocum it proba-
ably did not reach Olympia until this week.
This mixing up matters has given rise to a
great deal of dissatisfaction among the people
Of the county generally, and the question of
petitioning to have Walla Walla county an
nexed to Oregon-which has been discussed
more or less for the past year or two-has
again been brought up, and the pros and
ICONS discussed in such a manner that the
argument seems to be mostly on the side of
the pros, sowe would not be surprised to
see some decided steps taken in the matter.
1t would not be "too bad f" in view of all the
facts, if Judge Wyche should return and
find himself legislated out of district. In
the days of Oregon's "Territorial vassalage,"
the Delegate from that Territory, we are
told, secured the passage of law making it
forfeiture of salary for any Judge to be alb
sent from his district at the time for holding
his Court Can'tour delegate be made to
see the necessity of such law for this Ter
fitory2
The juries met here on Monday, accord
ing to subpoena, and were discharged on
Tuesday, by Sheriff Seitel, to appear again
on Monday next.

lMMIGRANTs.-Immigrant wagons con-
tinue to arrive in the valley. Some five or
six families have also arrived here within
the past ten days from Grand Ronde valley,
who have como over with the intention of set
ting here. 1t is said that upwards of five
thousand immigrants have gone this year
to Oregon In consideration of the fact
that the Oregonians have been emigrating,
in considerable numbers, to the upper coun-
try during the past four years, to "better
their conditions it seems to us that ma
jority, at least, of these immigrants would
have done better had they remained on this

as the materials can begot together.
We notice, also, that carpenters are en-

are in great demand now, and probably will
be so all winter.

GooD TEMPLARs.-A number of young
men Of the city are making an effort to or
ganize society Of Good Templars here. A
petition is now in circulation for signatures,
which is to be sent to the Grand Lodge of
that Society in Oregon, as soon as the re-
quired number of names shall have been OBJ
tanned to enable the petitioners to get a
Charter 1t is understood that the object of
the Templars is the inculcation of moral
rectitudc, temperance, &C., and, considered
in that light, the effort is commendable and
should be encouraged, especially by parents
who have children growing up around them,
as some such association would be benfcia
here in counteracting those immoral infu-
cnces which beset the younger portion of all

SEVERAL parties have called upon us this
week who have Just arrived from Blackfoot.
Their statements about the mines accord
with those published last week They say
it is too late for any one to go to the mines
from this side expecting to find diggings
this winter. There is already considerable
snow on the mountains. They think that,
with the large amount of provisions going
in from all directions there will be a sufi
cheney there for the winter supply.
Extensive coal beds and an oil well have
been discovered near Fort Benton.
Fifteen hundred families, who came out
this year with Capt Fiske, have settled on
the Yellowstone river
All with whom we have conversed are
unanimous in urging the opening of the
road from here to Hellgate, at the earliest
moment as the only means of securing the
trade Of that side of the mountains.

THE Montana Post says ten large freight
teams arrived at Virginia City on the 20th
September from Milk river, the pointwhere
the steamers landed on the Missouri. The
men with the teams ''report no Indians in
sight; but that a snow storm compelled them
to lay over eight days at Sun river, the
Dearborn, and on this side of the range"
The Post also chronicles the hanging of
a man named Tommy Cooke, by the Vigi-
lance Committee, at Helena, on the 18th
September. The body of the man when
found was labeled "Pickpocket." He was
supposed to have been from this side of the
mountains-from Boise or California.

EDS. STATESMAN Please let the farmers in
Umatilla county, Oregon, near the Washington
Territory line, know that I have discovered a
few mistakes in some of the numbers or figures
on different Section corner stakes in several
townships It is difficult to detect these errors
without the use of the Maps, unless one is ac-
quainted with such business No one will be
loser if his claim is described with care. The
Register of the Land Office at Oregon City in a
letter to me, dated Sept. %, 1865, says All
claimants on these lands should file their appli-
cations prior to the oath of November, 1861
And l add, that unless this is complied with,
claimants on School Sections can not hold from
the Land Office and on other lands, according
to the land law, the party applying first after
that date will hold although settler who has
not applied may be upon the same land.
wish also to state that have been enabled
to settle several disputes between parties claim
ing the same tracts of land, thereby saving them
the expenses Of a suit. think parties claiming
the same tract of land will find it far better and
much cheaper, IN most cases, to compromise,

THE NEGRO TESTIMONY CUES
EHDN.

Mr. EDITOR 1t seems that the editor
of the News is labOring with all his might
to convince bis readers that the House
was induced to vote for the admission of
negro testimony in cases, where the ne
gro is q party to the record, by outside
pressure, or IN other words by Federal
officers, who happened 10 be visiting
Jackson about the time the measure pos
sed the House. Now so far from this,
being the truth of the matter, not one OF
the members who were opposing negro
tes timony before these officers came to
jackson, who had interviews or converse
tons with them, are known to have
changed but on the other hand, were as
violent and Incorporating in their op,
position to it, as before, and attempted
by all sorts of innuendoes and appeals to
the manhood" 'chivalry," &C., of the
House. to excite members against it. 1t
is true, some members changed their vote
after The first effort TO pass the 4th Sec
ton OF the bill, but those who changed,
were of those who were convinced from
the time the discussion ended on the
question, that the proposition was right
in itself but came here rather pledged to
their constituents against it. After see
Tng the measure could not pass without
their support, they came up like true men
as they are, to its support, without refere-
euce 10 the stories retailed out by the
gentleman who had interviews with the
Federal officers. Aud so far as the writer
hereof. could learn the Federal officers
like the President, made no extraordlna
~ promises, and demanded no conces'
sions on the part of any one. So the
bill coniering the right OF the negro to
testify in cases where his color Is interest
ed. passed as matter of simple justice
to the negro, and without the outside
pressure which the News would have Its
readers believe.
1t is unjust to the original opponents
Of the bill for this impression to prevail,
for it is certain that all of those who op'
posed the bill upon principle, from the
beginning. did so TO the last, and then
names are recorded against it. And 1t II

A DANIEL, A SECOND DANIEL.-The
Shreveport Gazette relates that one of
the most respectable planters in the par>

quarter armed with U. S. musket and

swearing no white man should have 1T.
The gentleman drew a revolver and COM
PEELED the negro to give up his arms.
The aggrieved negro straightway pros

Marshal of Caddo, and upon his simple
version of the case, that worthy issued
the following order, which was served
