PLEASANT RECEPTION ScENE.-The Ore
gon Legislature lately met, agreeably to joint
resolution, in joint Convention to receive and
welcome to their Halls Gen. Crook, Military
commander of this Division. He was thus
briefly but very happily welcomed by Ex-Gov-
ernor Whitsaker, Speaker Of the House:
GENERAL--It is my pleasant duty as well
as privilege to welcome you to the Capital Of
our State, and tender you it's hOspitalities. In
dong this, General we are going through no
empty form, but giving expression to our deep
and sincere feelings. The name of General
Crook must ever be dear to the people of this
State, but especially to those of Eastern Oregon.
By his gallant services, that part Of our State
now reposes in all the security, from savage
murders, that this Capital enjoys, and am
proud, General, to be the organ of generous
people who. through me, tender you their
thanks. On behalf of the people of Oregon,
and their Legislative Assembly, I welcome
you to Salem and tender you the hOspitalities
of the State while here.
Gen. Crook, who is modest man, and not
half SO much an orator as Indian fighter, briefly
thanked the Convention for the compliment
bestowed upon him by this reception. He said
he had served on this coast fourteen years ago,
he felt deep interest in its safety, welfare
and progress. In his late service he had but
done his duty; but he was gratifed to know
that the people of Oregon placed so high an
appreciation upon what he had been able to
accomplish.

THE RELEASE OF sURRATr.

A Washington dispatch Of Sept. Oath, thus
reports the scene in Court on the discharge of
John H. Surratt: ..,...
John Fl. Surratt was to-day discharged from
custody by Judge Wylie Of the Criminal Court.
Before Judgment was rendered the Judge made
short statement of the case, and closed as
follows: s7 a
feel also constrained to dispose of the case
upon decision of Judge Holt. An officer was
charged with crime and demanded an investi-
CATION. The President referred the question
to Mr. Holt. The latter reported against the
inquiry, because the offence had been commit
ted more than two years before, even though
the officer waived the privilege Of the statute
The only way prosecuting officer can avoid
such mistakes is in taking great care in prepar
ing indictments. One of the counsel has spoken
of there being no precedent compelling the
District Attorney to anticipate objections un-
der the statute Of limitation in framing indict-
ments. Now the reason of this in England is
that the common law declared that there was
no time for the King. and suits brought by the
King were not subject to limitations. In this
country the theory does not hold. Under all
these considerations therefore feel cOnstrain-
ed to decide upon the whole record, and ac-
cordingly judgment is for the defendant
A profound sensation was Occasi0ned in the
Court by this announcement. The District
Attorney ut once arose, aud the following col
loquy ensued:
| Mr.. Carrington-Will your Honor certify
the case to the Court at the general term?
Judge Wylic-No. When / try case my.
self, am not IN the habit of certifying it to the
Court,
Mr. C-I have the right to appeal, and ask
your Honor that the prisoner be not dscharg
ed. l ask that the Court order the case to bt

Judge Wylie-Not when try case my
self; | am not in the habit of certifying tht
case to the Court in banc.
! Mr. CT have the right to appeal, and
ask that the prisoner be- not discharged.
Judge W.-That is your look out. The pris
oner is now discharged.
Mr.. CT then ask that the prisoners bal
be renewed.
Judge W.-Oh, you can appeal it you like
but the prisoner is now discharged.
Mr.. C-Will not your Honor renew the bal
of the prisoner! Ipropose to bring him agaiI
before the Grand Jury.
Judge W-Well you can have him rear

, Mr.. C.-Then ask your Honor to issue tn

INTERESTING TO IDAHoANs.-We clip the
following from the Portland Commercial Of
Oct 1st in reference to the transportation of
goods from San Francisco to Southern Idaho:
The object of the late trip made by Messrs.
Thompson and Ainsworth to San Francisco via
Silver City, was for the express object of as
certaining to their own satisfaction whether
merchandise can be shipped from San Fran
cisco to Silver City, Boise City, ETC., as cheap
as it can be done via tho ocean to Portland,
and thence up the Columbia. They did satisfy
themselves beyond the shadow of diminutive
or lingering doubt The conclusion they came
to was, that freight can be delivered at Silver
or Boise Cities from San Francisco, via the
ocean and the Columbia river. cheaper, by q
good large per cent, than by rall to Winnie
mucca. aud thence to Boise or Silver cities by
wagons We are glad to learn this fact. i'm
portant as it is both to the residents of Idaho
and the people of our own section and city.
The railroad will be, when completed, about
forty miles nearer Silver CITY than it now is,
but the conclusion arrived at by the gentlemen
named is based upon the hypothesis Of the COM
pletion of the road to that nearest point. We
Shall refer to this subject again when leisure
affords.
