day last There are about eighty cases on the
docket. A large number Of them have been
disposed ofAnd the petit jury will be discharged
bt the middle Of ne1t week. The Court will
probably adjourn BY the latter part of next week.
In.the Charge Of the Court to the Grand Jury,
Allusion was mAds to- the existence Of an Or
gAniEAtiOu in this County, having for its object
the punishment Of criminals, And'ths Court said
there was probably at one time some necessity
for such an organization; that in ridding this
valley from the horse and cattle thieves who In
Tested it, perhaps good work was done for the
public, but however that might be, the Court
was Satished that such necessity no longer ex-
isted1 and it was the duty now Of all good eiti-
zenS to unite with the Court in enforcing the
laws. The Court WAs-satisied that the law could
now Be sHieientlyGn and justly administered, and
believed it would be. II Will beseen bv the re-
port OF tbs Grand Jury, which We publish, that

THE COUNTY JAIL. - DisoIaiming dis

THE COUNTY JAIL. - Disclaiming dis
position TO dictate or in any manner inter-
fere with the peculiar province Of the Grand
Jury, we have this to say, that the circum-
stances attendi lg the release Of Donahue and
AllertOn from the County Jail should be
thoroughly investigated. No sane man pre-
tends to believe that these men effected their
escape. Indeed, all the facts go to show that
the way was prepared for them, and that they
only left after their prison doors we're thrown
wide open. In the interest of the peace and
well being of society, it becomes important
TO know who it is that has committed this
high>handed outrage. Men charged with
the commission Of grave crimes - one of
them convicted felon-have been allowed
to ego unwhipped of justice" and it is for
the Grand Jury to inquire into and make
presentment of the parties to this great
wrong, Our people are heavily taxed for the
administering of public justice, and yet if
the county Jail is to be opened and prisoners
turned loose at pleasure, it would seem that
this taxation is altogether useless. At pre-
sent, the Jail is little better than place of
refuge, where criminals are boarded at the
couuty's expense until such time as convent.
ence or pleasure calls them elsewhere. Such
condition of affairs is not to be tolerated,
and it is for the Grand Jury to apply the
remedy. In a community like this it cannot
be difficult to ascertain who it was that forged
the keys that were used to unlock the prison
doors. This point gained, an important step
will have been taken toward unraveling the
mystery, and all that will remain will be 10
bring the guilty to punishment. The Sheriff,
the Prosecuting Attorney, ard indeed all
who are in any way connected with the ad'
ministration Of public justice, should aid in
this investigation. Let it once be under
stood that the Jail is little better than place
Of refuge, and care will be taken that crimi-
mails are not permitted to reach its friendly
shelter. Offenses against person and property
will be punished on the spot, and instead Of
the slow but sure process of the courts, we
shall have the caprice and uncertainty Of a
mob. This is a condition of affairs not to
be contemplated without pain, and hence it
is that we ask that measures be taken to fix
the guilt of those who usurped the preroga-
tive of justice and turned Douahue and Air
lertOn loose, to possibly enter upon new
career Of crime.

upon lie latter the necessity Of a stricteE Vigs'

The County having extended to the City, the
accommodation Of the Jail for small eonsid-
Grafton, we Sud it works not only badly, but
very injutiously to the community-a double
sett of KEYS being in existence, Of which the sett
assigned to the City is passing from Marshal 10
Watchman, thus depriving the Jailor Of sole 1u-
risdiction of the Jail, and who, Of course, can
not be held responsible for any escape while
outside parties are in possession of keys to the
Jail. We recommend, on this point, that the
City provide place of confinement for its own
pris6hets.
The CoHnty records and accounts we have not
examined, as this session is too short for Us to
enter into all the details.
We also recommend that the Vigilance Com
mttee, if such an organization exists be dis
banded, and law and order restoredi as the eI-
istence Of such an organization, in our opinion,
is DO longer necessary. Yet, if the people in=
sist upon something Of the kind We think they
should assist to arrest offenders and turn them
over to the proper officers; to be dealt with &C.
cordfng to the law.
For the kind treatment we have received
from the Court, also the Sheriff and Deputies,
we return our sincere thanks. The Prosecuting
Attorneys, Messrs. Fargo and Holmes, will please
accept many thanks for their valuable assist
ance.

CAMP MEErNas.-Brother Benson, of the i'd
Uoedte, discusses the question of camp p-neetings,
snd inasmuch as these Assemblages an all the
go in this Valley, we append his REMARKS
A camp-meeting ought to embrace at least
two Sundays: There should be a thorough
siege, and then the Notifications of tie enemy
would certainly be taken. One other natter re-
quireS reformstion-we speak only of whst We
have seen-there are grievous burdensbOtne by
only few. The laOor and expense ought 10 be
eqnalized, or wrongs are inflicted by some and
suffered By others. There are q few who have
soufs as large as the groves in which the meet
ings are keid. They spread taBles, literally
loaded With comforts. and they dispense hospi-
tality most kindly; but there are to few Of
them. The burden is foo great; the labor, of
preparing food and serving Il out, occupies too
much time, and so e1hausts the strength of
those who make servants of themselves, that
they are worn down and disqualified br the en-
joyment of the religious worship. This is en-
tirely wrong, and the time has come fer turning
over . new leaf. In most cases, thoss who at
tend camp-meetings should provide for them
selves. All families, who attend, caa do this.
II may not be convenient, always, to have
tent; but provisions may be taken and the ne
cessary work done, without adding to the la
Dor of others. And for the accommodation Of
transient persons, it may be well to have a table
furnished and controlled by q committee of
church members, under the direction of a COM
petent steward; then meals should be served
q the lowest possible rates; the committee
should see that no profits should accrue to any
one. No tavern or huckstet shops should be
tolerated; and no man should be suffered to
traffic or make money on camp-grounds. But
if some better m5thod can be adopted, let it be
done. But there must be a reformation in' the
matter Of Accommodations, and 1t should, be
made at once. The labors Of these meetings,
equally borne by all, are very light, but imposed
on few they are crushing.

RETURNING MINERs.-We have seen and
couversed with four or five men this week
who have just returned from the BlackfOot
mines. They belong to the disappointed
class, and naturally enough their account Of
that country is not DER Aattering. They
state that the country Is in every respect
greatly "overdone;" that where there is
one good claim there are a hundred others
that will not pay "grub," and that not more
than one out of every ten miners there can
find steady or profitable employment that
the rich claims we hear shout in Mcclellan,
Deep and other Clutches are altogether the
exception and not the rule, and that even in
these very rich claims the miners sometimes
work for days and do not secure more than.
wages. They instance cases where claims
pay as high as nine hundred dollars for a
single day and then for weeks they do not
pay the expense Of working then. They re-
port, further, that there rs large number Of
miners from this side on their way back to
the old camps, and that the returning tide
may be looked for here in a few days or
weeks. Many of the packers and others,
they say, who went from this side With goods
are quite discouraged at prospea of not
realizing more than cost for the articles they
have transported thither. As an offset to
this, ne have seen others who have arrived
from there this week, who tell the id story
about the exceeding richness of tha couur
try. among the fortunate ones firm this
place who have secured good claims there
are Messrs. Seth and J. W. Seauan and
Ned Skunk.

broke up the assembly in the utmost Confusion, /,

learn from this event; first, greater vigilance in
the proper protection and guardianship Of our
city, BY an extra police force dnring the ab-
sence of the bulk Of citizeus in such cases, and
a decided prohibition Of tbe use Of fre-crackers
within, the city limits; and then more consist

RIGHT.-A proposition is now up before
OUugtess ,ruhs iertImg SmU UOnUrVI EHUfau
affairs from the Interior Department to that
of War. The proposed change is correct and
cannot be made too soon. The present sysr
TEN of Indian management is expensive to
the Government and is attended with no
corresponding advantage. The Indian can
only be governed through his fears, and for
this purpose a military officer, backed by a
file Of soldiers, is.a far more efficient agent
than a civilian with his Blankets aud trinkr
cts. If the Indian was capable Of gratitude,
this system of buying bis friendship would
have something to recommend it, but when
II is understood that he attributes all such
concessions to the fears of the white man, it
will be seen at once that the effect of the
system is essentially bad. The gathering of
them together on reservations with view to
instructiug them in the arts of civilized life,
wherever tried, has failed In the Indian
character the element of progress does not
exist, and hence the effort made ia his BE-
half has been labor lost. Totally worthless
and without one redeeming trait of character,
the sooner be disappears from the earth the
better. In the meantime, as a matter of
protection to the whites, he should be placed
under military control. In this way, although
she Indian can never be made useful, he may
be rendered harmless.
