The Crime of Perjury.

In our issue Of last week the commission
of the crime of perjury was clearly fixed up
on an individual who has heretofore enjoyed
in an unusual degree the public confidence.
At the date of the perpetration Of this
great wrong, he held the position of COuuty
Treasurer, aod trusted by his fellow citizens,
SO much the greater reason why he should have
stunned the commission of crime, which
has been rightly termed " the meanest of all
crimes" If we are to lose all regard for the
sanctity of oaths, the sooner we get rid OF
courts of justice the better, for certainly Ii
false swearing is to be tolerated, the limos
cent are just as likely to suffer as the guilty.
1t is true that the first attempt to punish TINS
crime failed on account of an informallty IN
the indictment, but this defect can be reme'
died, and the question fairly tested IN our
courts whether perjury can be committed
with impunity. We'have it on information
believed to be reliable, chat money was free
ly used to prevent the case being brought to
trial at the time of the finding of the first in,
dictment, and although this may only bo
secondary matter, still we deem it OF sufficient
importance to merit the attention of the
Grand Jury, soon to be impanneled. Our
new Judge, We doubt not, will charge the
Jury fully in regard to offences of this char
acter, and whatever information we may have
will be freely submitted. The practice of
Furnishing the little roSues and allowing the
big ones to escape, is bad one, aud we be-
lieve that the time has como in this Valley
when Justice can be administered without
d" fear, favor or affection" 1t may be claitn-
ed that other parties are connected with this
matter, aud that for their sake it is best to
" hush it up" Away with this temporizing
with justice. Let the outraged majesty of
the law be avenged, and if the axe of justice
happens to fall upon those who have hither-
to held high places, so much the greater
will be the influence of the example in preI
venting the commission of like crimes.

Letter from Moose Creek mines.

MUSE OIrY, July 70, 1862.
EDIToR STATESMAN :-0n account OF errors in
my last letter, am compelled to bother you
again. Ny letter in your paper read, teams are
coming in from both sides, and the distance from
Pierce City forty miles. 1t should have been,
trains coming in from both sides, and the
distance from Pierce City ninety miles. mean
by both sides, trains from Bitter Root, and trains
from Lewiston. The distance from Frenchtown
Nellgate Valley is estimated at seventy'ive
miles.
Now for mining news Claims that were pays
ing we'll when last wrote, are not doing well ut
present. or, as we say, the streak is lost, and on
the other hand, those that were doing nothing
then, are doing well now:
Work on the bitches is progressing rapidly,
and one at least will be in, or finished, in week
more the question now is whether there will
be sufficient water, for the use of the claims that
are waiting for it, that is this season. myself
think that there will not be, unless providence
sends it through the clouds. Moose City is a
lively little place, and is improving very fast.
We have four stores, two saloons, two blacksmith
shops, two butcher shops, q carpenter shop,
ba kerry, a feed stable, &c.
There aIe a great many Walla Wallaians here,
and the most prominent among them is Dick
KelliIg. Dick has fine saloon and is doing very
we'll; he is here as in Walla Walla the favorite
of ali the jolly boys.
The others from Walls Wala who have good
claims are Tom Bell Bro, G. Macy and Hank
Lavake. The claims of these gentlemen were
located last fall, and purchased by them this
spring they bid fair t. be among the best in
the camp There are at present, in this camp,
about two hundred men some employed in
mining, others in ditching, and some IN pros
pecting. VIM. Waymire, from Pierce city, is in
town, and informed me that the people of Pierce
city, are taking steps towards making more
practicable rout to this place. Mr.. Waymire
thinks that a good pack trail can be ma de up
the Clearwater, from the mouth ofthe Orc Grand,
to this place we think it can be travelled much
later in the fall, and earlier in the spring, and
will be much better than the route that is travel
ed at present. We are in hopes that this trail
will be nnt through by fall, will now close
If any thing of interest occurs l will post you.

A BAD EXAMPLE.-The manner in which
the radicals conduct the Government and
crush out everything like freedom in the late
rebel States, is being held up in Spain as an
argument against the republican form of Gov.
ernmeut In recent debate in the Spanish
Cortes, Senior Rios Rosas spoke for an hour
defending monarchical institutions. He was
very severe with tho Republic Of the United
States. He said half OF it was was outside
the law. All the States OF the South were
held under the sword of military government.
Individual rights we're all confounded. There
was no liberty. 1t was dictation-sword
dictatiUn. The government of the half of
the States had characters ofiniquitous tyran.
nv, for the interests of the conquered coun>
tries we're sacrificed to the egotism Of the
North. They euslaved the whites to give
liberty to the blacks. This slavery would be
prolonged years and years, for the Federal
legality nn1 the au,onmy of the States were
completely abolished. Was that the sort OF
Constitution they wished to give to their
country? ["NO nor and great applause. J

FATAL AFFRAY.-A difficulty occurred about
six O'Clock on Thursday evening at Simons'
Restaurant on Washington street, between Bart

ties became very boisterous, and were In the act
Of commencing to 6ght in the saloon, when
Frank Babb, who was present, showed them both
outside Of the door, where they fought for some
time, soon after which Maize was heard to call
Babb lying s-n of a BIB, whereupon the lat>
ter went ont on the street and struck Maize two
or three times with his fist, knocking him down /;
Maize got up and ran into his room, Immediately

A RADICAL CHIEF IN PRISoN.-A Lou
dsiana exchange says that Dunn, the "cOlored
cuss from Africa" who is playing the role
oflieuteuant governor of that state, was lately
committed to prison for six hours, and fined
800, by Judge Cooley, of New Orleans, for
contempt of court, in refusing to recognize
4 writ of injunction. That Judge must be
reconstructed Immediately. Such fagrant
outrages upon the liberties of the colo!ed
people must not be tolerated any longer.

PRoHRITIoN-Under the new prohibit:
tory liquor law of Massachusetts, respecta>
ble'German, the proprietor of brewery, has
had all his stock seized and con6scated to
the State, and he himself sentenced to three
months Imprisonment. His offence was that
of owning brewery and having a stock of
beer on his premises. All over the State
Oreweries are being seized, and the manufac-
tured article destroyed The result is great
excitement on .be part of the quiet Germans,
who find themselves denied their usual social
recreation, and compelled to adopt the habits
of their puritanic oppreasOrs. The question
of the repeal of this law will enter into the
November election, and on this issue of pro-
hibition the democrats expect 20 carry the

son named for the democratic nomination for

THE RADICALS AFTER GRANT.-The New
York World says the republican politicians
of Pennsylvania are just now pouring their
complaints into the ears of General Grant, in
reference to the mode in which the latter has
dealt out the Federal patronage in that State.
They claim that the appointments thus far
made in the Keystone State have been in
furious to the party, and will bring defeat at
the polls. This complaint is not confined
alone to the republicans of Pennsylvania, but
exists all over the country. Leading radical
papers assert that where the President has
made one good appointment he has made one
hundred bad ones" This is the effect of
the party nominating and electing a man
who was declared by the men of brairs in the
party to be totally unfit for the position.
The difference between now and the Presi.
dental campaign is, that what few promin.
ent republicans then admitted to be the truth
in reference to Grant, is now acknowledged
BY :he entire party and the whole country. .

IT is reported that Secretary Robson, of
the Navy department, says the Rolls County
(Mo) Record, was one of the gift enterprise
managers, and subscribed five hundred dollars
towards house for Gen. Grant. As Borie
gave FIVE thousand, Robson was hardly en-
titled to more then clerkship, reckoning
pro rata, but doubtless the New Jersey gen
tlcman gave fully as much in proportion to
his means as did the venerable Quaker-del-
pha. Hence the Presidents rigorous regard
to the fitness of things in his appointment.

PUBLIC DEBT SrATEMENT-INcREAsE
DURING LAST YEAR, $4,000 OOO.-Tho
Dayton (OhiO,) Ledger says: The states
ment of the public debt, as published in to-
days paper, closing with June 3Oth, is
S2,4S9, ,002 So. According to the Dayton
Journal, Of Sept. 18th, 1868, the public
debt statement June 30, 1863, was s2,4S5,-
900, 900, being an increase of the debt in one
year Of over four million dollars. This
statement is highly important in view the
talk of retrenchment practiced by Grants
administration. 1t is an increase of 81 ,000,.
600 in one year, aud in time of peace and
prosperity is called retrenchment. We
would like to know. on the same hypothesis,
what our radical friends would call extrava>
gance? 1t is evident, notwithstanding the
continual drain upon the country in the
shape of taxes, that the debt is not dimin>
ishing. The foregoing is sad commentary
upon radical retrencbment.

THE fRoNCLAD OATH.-A dispatch dated
at Richmond, July 18th, says: Gen. Candy
has sent circulars to all the members of the
Legislature, asking if they can qualify by
subscribing to the ironclad oath. If he as
ccrtains that quorum Of both Houses are
thus qualified, he will issue a proclamation
10 about fifteen days announcing the result
Of the election, and calling the Legislature
together to ratify the Fifteenth Amendment
and elect United States Senators. Mems
bers unable to qualify in this way will remain
absent until the Constitution has been ratiti-
ed by Congress, and the State admitted, when
they would present themselves and qualify
under the State Constitution, from which the
test oath has been expunged. Should it not,
however, have been found that quorum is
able to qualify by taking the test oath, the
Commanding General will then defer issuing
the proclamation, but order new elections to
fill the seats, which will be declared vacant
by reason of disability.

A RADICAL paper expresses the opinion
that Grant is "cOming out all right" In one
sense Of the word there is little doubt that
he is " all right" With all his own relatives
and those of his wife in office, aud in the
habit of receiving presents from S65,OOO
house down to $500 horse, it is fair to say
that the Grant family is doing reasonably
well, and that as far as they are concerned
the prospect is delightful and the "goose
hangs high" Certainly Grant and his FAM
lily arc coming out all right" but when it
comes to the country with constantly in
creasing debt, and diminished revenue, it is
anusbLr matter, and here we think that in
stead OF being all right everything is wrong.
It,is related of an ancient ruler that he fd~
died while his capital was being destroyed ;
and 50 of GRAFT. be pensions his relatives and
favOrites upon the public treasury, and gives
no heed to the fact that all the time the in
stitutions of the country are fast drifting in'
to the vortex of destruction.

A MEAN CoNGREGATIoN.-Ac correspond
ent of the CAurchnaan tells us of clergy
nA1 whose salary was made up by subscrip-
non. Not proving sufficient to support him,
his vile gave music lessons. When the salary
was collected, lAaan miser, who had sub
scribed $40, refused 10 pay over S5, because
he had paid the ministers wife s5, for a
quarters instruction Of his daughter. An
other cut down his subscription frOa $40 to
20, because the wife received $50 for teach
ing his daughter music. Them fellows arc
only after religion, without price, and should
