cording to his oath of office, and that he has
not BETRAYED the confidence and trust reposed in
him bv the people. No officers acts should be
such as to fear investigation. On the contrary
all should be such as to bear the test of light
and court examination. None but the guilty
shrink from such process. | am well satisfied
from the well-known efficiency and integrity of
the present incumbents of the offices of our
county that their conduct would bear the most
scrutinous investigation without the stain or rust
of corruption being visible. If, gentlemen, you
should think it necessary, in the course of your
deliberations to investigate the official acts of the
county officers they will be found, trust such
as to adorn and beautify, and reflect as a worthy
example for those who are to follow to initiate.
1t is also within the scope of your duty to ex-
anime all public buildings belonging to the
county and see that the revenue collected for
that purpose is wisely expended and economi
cally managed.
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury, in conclusion.
let me again say to you that it is your impera-
tive duty, under your oaths as Grand Jurors, to
carefully aud impartaly, without malice and
without affection, without regard to popular
gossip or private opinion, without regard to any
affection or predisposition to exonerate or in
dite but to carefully probe and maturely decide
on the grave questions which the law has sum-
moned you together for the purpose of investi-
eating and determining. Calmly and dispas SION
ately investigate those matters, gentlemen, and
you will have attained the end and accomplished
the object the law had in view in calling YOU to-
gether, and discharged your duty to the people
and to yourselves.
Mr. Allen, the District Attorney, of the coun-
ty, is your legal adviser. The Court will be in
readiness at all times to confer with you and ex-
plain any point Of law which you may enter

THE APPORTIONmENT,

We publish to-day, the apportionment
of Acting Governor Meagher, of the Ter
ritory, into Council and Representative
districts. 1t does not contain the unjust
determinations we had been informed
had been made, and will probably be ac-
cepted as fair basis of representation
by all parties. 1t appears to US,
however, that the apportionment of
Representatives of the fourth and
fifth districts is not strictly just,
even while admitting the inability of
obtaining reliable statistics of the present
population. and the difficulty of making
an apportionment that will give univer
sal satisfaction, where the number of
Representatives is limited to thirteen
for the entire Territory. We believe it
to have been the desire of Acting Gov
Meagher to postpone the apportion-
ment until the arrival of Gov. Smith or
Secretary Tufts, but the requirement of
the act of Congress that this apportion-
ment shall have been made on or before
the 1st day of July and the improbability
of the arrival of either of these gentle
men before the day named, devolved the
duty upon him. A failure to make the
apportionment within the time specified,
would have deprived US of Legislative
Assembly, when it is essential to the
welfare of the Territory that one should

IN1PRACTICABLE.

Some one blew the blast for winter
campaign against the Indians, and pres
aged success upon the inability of the
red skins to travel at that season of the
year. Any feasible project for remedy
ing the evil that exists would meet with
our heartiest concurrence; but this win
ter scheme is isimpracticable, and it's adop-
tion would only procrastinate without
accomplishing anything. We cannot
follow Indians, except at distance, with
cumbersome wagon trains, and without
them our horses would be as destitute of
forage as theirs. 1t is rapidity of move
ment and the persistency of an army OF
sleuth-hounds, following ever upon their
trail, that will enable troops to surprise
the Indian camps, and every encounter
with them, bearing good fruits and of
practical benefit has been by surprises
of this kind. 1t is a possibility in the
summer season to make forced march
of hundred or two miles unencum5er-
ed and prepared to follow up an advan-
tage but in the winter it is not, when
heavy trains. dragging their slow length
along, must be guarded and kept in hand
to supply forage. Heavy SHOWS impede
travel and render it impracticable TO
cross the mountain ranges. Exposure,
suffering, death and disgraceful failure
are all that is promised by winter cam
paigns in this latitude. If the immense
bodies of regular trooPs moving TO the
Indian Country let the summer pass ny
without achieving success in tanning the
warlike spirit of the braves, we have but
the most hopeless anticipations of any
benefits resulting from a campaign when
eight or ten feet of snow lies on every
divide. If " the glorious summer sun .
does not see the whites in possession of
the plains, and the movement is post
poned for a snowshoe enterprise, it will
prove indeed "the winter of our discon-

The following items from the Oregon

Democrats "are the same everywhere, ="
as we are startingly informed by the
Gazette.
The Charleston Mercury, Charleston
Courier, Columbia Phoenie and VIII
mington Journal all urge the people of
the Carolinas to cooperate with General
Sickles in carrying out the provisions of
his recent order.
The Atlanta (Ga.) Era says that the
rebel Gen. John q. Breckinridge "has ad-
vised his friends to accept in good faith
the Sherman Reconstruction bill, as the
surest and only mode of restoring the
country 20 peace and quiet" NJ
g. G. Brown, ofMississippi, is out in a
letter urging the Mississippians to ac-
cept the reconstruction bill, as the con-
querers have the right to legislate for
the conquered, and the latter have no
rights which the former are bound TO
respect.

AT meeting of the colored voters of

a fourth jumped out of back window

the colored voters. That is, to give the
colored men the entire Congressional

The Baltimore correspondent of the
Philadelphia Bulletin says that thous-
ands in Maryland who supported the
Conservative party at the last fall cleo
tions, and were hopeful thereby of Sc
curing peace, are now determined and
are determining to withdraw from that
faction, and, if necessary, to vote for the
most radical men and measures that can

things go on as they have begun, and
the excitement intensifies, as it surely
will, insurrection and bloodshed may
follow.
The Georgia Chronicle says the white
population is already divided in political

GOING TO THE SHOW.

We published in late issue tele-
gram stating that Captain J. Mix would
sail for Europe, on Monday, the Sd inst,
on a monitor raft The following from
the Scientific American, refers TO the
the same affair. A couple ofyears since,
manned by Captain Donovan and one
other person, started 10 cross the ut
lantic and were never heard of more.
Another one recently made the trip sue
cessfully. A two and half ton sail boat
was also announced to sail on the Goth
ult. from Baltimore in charge of three
men and boy. The New York Sun
suggests that if they get to Paris they
should be exhibited as specimens of
American fool-hardy recklesness. Here
is the monitor raft
"The journey is TO be undertaken on
one of Perry's monitor RATS, now on ex-
structed of three air-tight cylinders in
cased in heavy Russia duck cloth, each
twenty five feet in length, by twelve and
one-half wide. When blown up these
bags are connected by light framework
which also forms the deck. The raft is
schoonerrigged, with lug-sail forward,
mainsail att, and jib. Cabin there is
none, the only protection for the passen-
gers being a small waterproof tent rig
ged amidships. Captain Mikes with
two companions constitute the compile
ment of men, and the expedition is to start
about the middle of the present month,
bound for Paris and the Exposition.
The raft draws but seven inches of water
and with a fair wind the inventor states
that her speed will be from twenty to
thirty knots per hour"

THE CELEBRATION.

that has ever taken place in the Terri

issue OF our Weekly can be circulated,
we deem it proper in this place to men,

half of the Lodges and officers here to
extend a most cordial invitation to all
Masons to participate. The laying of
the corner stone of the new Masonic
Temple, designed TO be the finest build
ing of that character between the Mis-
souri, and the Pacific, has been deferred
until St. Johns Day, and will form the
principal ceremonial feature of the occa-
sion. The procession of the different
Orders in full regalia will start at l04
A. NJ, and return to the Temple, where
the Corner Stone will be laid in due form
by the Grand Master of Montana, assist
ed by the officers Of the Grand Lodge.
Immediately thereafter, Grand Comman-

ton on Templar Masonry. Col Sanders
will also deliver an address, and General
Meagher has kindly consented TO deliver
