PAPER MAIL 5UsPESsION-We learn from
the Umatilla Press that DIR. Postal Agent
Quincy A. Brooks has issued his ukase against
the transportation of paper mail between
Portland and the points along and above the
Upper Columbia river, during the time the
river shall be closed by ice so as to prevent
navigation. Only a weekly letter mail is per-
mitted meantime by the gracious Postal Agent,
who SO stupidity or corruptIy-- perhaps both
manages the Postal arrangement in Oregon.
Washington, Idaho and Utah. The contracts
call for regular service all the year, between
Idaho and Portland. But owing to the obstruc-
ton of ice in the Columbia, and the difficulty
experienced in travelling the land route be-
tween Cmatilla ard the Dalles, and that city
md Portland, during winter, nearly all con.
cerned would be satisfied with weekly mail
service between these named points and Idaho,
and such mail scryice-paper rs well as lot.

The Cheyenne argus offers the following
very sensible and commendable views con-
corning Vigllance Committees. and with espe.
cial reference to an organization Of that char
|actef IN that citys
Vigilance Committees may have effected
some good, but it Is equally certain that they
have many wrongs to answer for. The worst
offenders have frequently found that their only
safety consisted in becoming members OF such
societies, and charging their own criminal acts
upon innocent parties, who, perhaps, IRE UNI
arrested 10 the dead hour OF mid
night, and as they could not possibly, without
q moments warning, produce witnesses, or
make defense against charge OF which they
might be wholly Ignorant have been merci.
lessy murdered BY the-very same parties VINO
have committed the crimes with which their
unoffending victims have been charged, and by
false judges have they been executed:
We do not suspect or accuse the Vigilantes
of this city of any intention of committing such
acts as these. but it is well known that such
abuses and wrongs have worked their way into
similar organizations. and we have no assur'
ance that the same results may not be created
BY similar causes. =
i Whetner the Three men WnOt as IL Us nicScu
were punished and threatened by body Of
disguised men on Friday night, were guilty OF
any crime or not, is foreign to the question Ii
has been shown, beyond dispute or doubt, thai
ut the time of their barbarous treatment by
the mob, they were under bonds to answer the
complaint which had been entered against
them before United States Commissioner Bart
lett, and that the amount of these bonds was
amply sufficient for such case, and that there
was no cause for such treatment being inflicted
upon them on the uncertain accusation OF ~
individual who had lately been their companion
and friend, and who was member OF theiI
household. f
We repeat, If there be anything objectiona
BILE against our local laws or officers let them
be changed for others of proper character
and when any one is accused OF any criminal
act. however great or Insignificant let him b.
informed who makes the charge, aud wha
should be the character OF his defense. Or !
any officer crininaily fails to execute the law
m it exists, let him also be impeached or nc
cused, and allow him. before the proper au
thorities, to Justify his acts or receive thei'
censure But let there be no midnight cen
spiraccs, let there be no canclayes ot seli-con
stituted Judges of their fellow citizens. and lie
there be- no blood thirsty executions OF human
beings, however great the crime with which
they may be charged. to cast an indcllble bio
upon the fair name of the City Of Cheyenne.

Most readers will conclude with us, after
perusal of the above statements and affidavits,
that Judge Cummins acted more in the spirit
of prosecutor of Mcbride than becomes any
man or any officer Of the law, especially an
Associate Justice of the Territorial Supreme
Court and District Judge, in urging on as he
did, without Communication or respite Of SEN
tence, the execution Of that victim of his
own Court, when all this strong evidence of
the unsoundness Of that victims mental cond-
ton was submitted to him. We think, had
Mcbride been in sane mind and in malice of
heart had killed the unofTcnding Chnaman, he
Justly merited death; but we do not believe
he was sane when he committed the deed.
Therefore, we believe it was the duty of those
who had authority in the case to have COM
muted his sentence to confinement which
would have securely protected the community
from the hazard of q repetition of his danger.
