| 4uC W. oAstiSt SVuie'
The District Court for Western Arkan-
sas, commenced its session on Tuesday
of last week. Quite a larg" array Of lc-
gal talent from all parts of the State is
present Judge caldwell pre~idcs with
his usual dignity and general satisfaction
to the bar. No cases Of very much i'm
portaucc have been tried. Ward, for
shooting L. $. Deputy Marshal Fitzpat-
rick, was tried aud found guilthy. Sen
tonce not yet pronounced.
AS it is charged that quite number
ofthe Grand Jury, were either Judges
or Registrars of Election, and will have
the pleasure of declaring on their own
cascs-we publish below the names FOR
the inspection of all. But we think there
need be no cause Of fear that Judge
Caldwell viii permit injustice to be done
to any applicant for redress before the
Grand Jury, hy allowing interested or
implicated parties to sit on cases to which
they are made parties, directly or indi-
rcctly,
