Justice Chase is holding Court in Rich.

famous test ::oath by its virtual abolition
in the following charge to the Jury.
GENTLEMEN OF THE GRAND JuRy: When
sworn, yesterday, there was administered
TO you, beside the usual oath, an addition
al oath, which. by the act of Congress, is
not required to be taken unless upon mo-
ton by the District Attorney or by the
direction of the court, in the exercise of
its own discretion. An order Of the court
ut each term is required by the act. At
this term tho District Attorney has made
no. motor, nor has the court given any
direction that the additional oath il TO be
administered. 1t was administered BY the
clark. in accordance with the practice
which has heretofore existed. Scrurles
st taking it, expressed by some of the
grand jurors, known to be among those
best qualified for the responsible duties of
their position, have induced Us to inquire
whether the public interest now demand
that the ticking Of il be required; and we
are Satisfied that, while the matters af-
6rned in il are proper cause Of chal-
ienge in particular cases, the ends Of JUS
tice will be hinderd ard defeated, rather
than promoted and secured, by directing
It to be administered, unless some special
occasion shall demand It. No such special
occasion now exists, and. inasmuch as the
required number Of grand jurors have
been swern, we will order chat those who
have been sworn be discharged, aud the

Trouble soon commenced, several shots
wero fired, Pratt was wounded in the left

little good. Frank and friend left in a

A SYNOPSIS Of Secretary McCulloch's

A SYNOPSIS Of Secretary McCulloch's
report says:
''The Secretary congratulates tho coun>
try that the national finances are in good
condition. and that the ration has not
suffered for the present commercial year
from an expensive credit system. based on
too redundant currency. Economy in
public and private business interests has
diverted industry into healthy channels
and he believes that. with proper financial
legislation, revision Of the tariff, ard
the modification of certain portions of the
internal revenue laws, the path to specie
payments may be reached though he is
opposed to naming, by legislation, any
time for resuming, and declares that moth
ing can be gained by forced resumption.
The funding Of the public debt he regards
AS one step toward resumption
BY this it sappears that the Secretary
does not think that the currency is re-
dundant. Perhaps his views upon this
point have been corrected by conversations
with Senator Morton. The latter says he
would not contract the currency, and that
specie-payments may be reached in July,
1871, without contraction.
Messrs. McCulloch and Morton are
western men, and disposed to take less
extreme views on the specie-payment
question than the radical leaders in the
eastern and middle states. Those leaders,
however, have carried their measures on
financial questions ever since the ruling
party came into power, and there is too
much reason to fear they will do so again
this winter. Every member from a
western state who shall vote in favor of
contraction, or of any policy that shall
involve contraction, will justly subj oct
himself to the suspicion Of having been
bribed.

American coast in four hundred ton ship,
and first landed upon the island of St.
Domingo. Last week vessel from st.
Domingo unloaded in New York over four
hundred tons of st. Croix Rum for P. ii.
Drake & Co., Of that city. This is but a
few weeks supply of this article, which
these gentlemen use in the manufacture OF
the celebrated Plantation BHtys. We are
informed by an exchange that Messrs.
DRAKE & Co, have not advertised dollar
for year, but that the sales of this arti-
Gle continue at the former enormous figure.
In 1864, the receipts of the Plantation
Bitters were equal to those of the New

The Minneapolis Daily Tribune filings
out the following good sign. We join the
Tribune most sincerely in hoping the
statement is correct
Express CoMpetition-..Perh
The other day we chronicled the conso,
lidation of tho Merchants Union and
American Express Companies. Most peo-
pie naturally supposed that this would
end all competition between express COM
panies and leave the public at the mercy
Of the extortionate corporations. We are
comforted, however, by the statement that
the Adams Express company, not having
been included in the arrangement, has re-
solved to enter into competition with the
others. The Adams is the wealthicst Of
all the companies. and if it seriously un>
dertakes to "buck against Them we ehail
witness war OF giants. We sincerely
trust tho statement is correct. If no
permanent reduction of rates should result
from such a competition, the public would
at least enjoy the satisfaction of another
''darncd good drive out Of tho bull"--of
seeing the monopolists sweat and suffer
some Of the Inconvenience they have in.

Stafford.
The wretch who murdered MINER1
near Smithfeld, Alamakee Co., Iowa,
sometime last spring was reported, a few
days since, as captured by Smith, Of Hard
in, at an obscure town in Arkansas.-
Smith has returned and reports that
Stafford escaped him at, or near, Men,
phis. S. complained Of the letters hurt
ing him and his feet were released, the
handouts alone remaining. Smith and
his associates were wearied with watching
night and day and fell asleep! Staff:
walked off and Smith came home, con-
Guiding probably, that Stafford would get
away if he was caught second time.
The above is general report but we
do not bet on it. If Smith, $500 prize
in his hands and had worked so hard to
catch ALPHABETICALLY when that prize was
the human butcher that Stafford is known
to be, why, SMITH would have held tighter
to his $500, to his reputation as dctec'
tive, to the good opinion of his neighbors,
to public interest, to all that is profitable
and noble than to unfetter the prisoner,
70 to sleep, let Staff. 20 and then return
home to tell the tale! We believe Smith
came to Waukon in the night with Stat
ford and that the prisoner is now in Jail
at that place. Lynching was the sure
portion of the prisoner had he been
brought home publicly. Both officer and
criminal knew it, hence the qnietness Of
his incarceration and the cooked up story
Of his escape. Alamakee does not want
the disgrace Of lynching criminals, but
there are in all communities men whose
impulses lead them astray. The Law will
settle Stafford when it reaches him. We
believe that Stafford is at Waukon. We
believe that the people Of Alamakee Co..
have too much respect for themselves to
attempt violence, and we further believe
that the County authorities should let the
people know the fact, if fact, rather
than to keep anxiety on the alert for
further gossip and increased excitement.
Our information as to Stafford comes by
report and differences favor its probable
truthfulncss.
p. S. Since the above was typed we see,
in the Lansing Chronicle, confirmation of
the guess we made. Stafford is in Jail at
Waukon. The Chronicle also says, Presho,
who sprang overheard with DR.. Hall and
drowned him while on the way to #. Ma
Olson, is alire, and that he was recently ar.
rested in Illinois for horse stealing! We
have often heard Presho was alive but We
did not believe it until now.
