flowing at intervals of fifteen minutes with I'M
usual velocity
A New Bedford paper has the following: ''Mr
Henry A. Scarborough, 173 Purchase street, has
a wire rat-trap on the principle of n lobster pot
from which the rats have been in the habit of
stealing the bait without being caught. He
thinks some of their brothers and cousins must
have assisted them in getting out. Finally he
bated the trap with piece of meat containing
bone too large to come out except through the
door, and upon going 10 ascertain his success
found nine full grown rats in the trap, which is
ten inches in diameter and six inches high"

A Grand Jury Bmpsnneled- Charge Of
the Judge.

SALT LAKE, September 19.-The Grand
jury Tor the Third district was enpannCed
this morning. All pOlygumists were excused,
aud Mormon journals are very bitter on the
United States law Offices in consequence
Chief Justice Mexican, in his charge to the
jury, said You are summoned not to Try
criminal cases, but to say what criminal cases
shall be presented for trial. In the discharge
Of this duty you will be governed BY the
same principles Of law which govern Grand
.Jurics in Milne and Montana, in Georgia aud
Arizona, the principles Of law evCrywhcrCap.
pllcablc throughout the Republic.
The crimes Of murder, arson, larceny, big
amy, adultery and riot, in Utah, arc tho same
criiacs elsewhere throughout Ghristendom.-
If there is anything peculiar 10 the situation
in Utah, it is the peculiar conduct of some
men here, and not any peculiar principles or
policy that are to be enforced here. Utah be,
longs to the United States, and the people Of
Utah, like the people Of tho rest OF country,
arc amcnable 10 the laws of the United States
Those WHO obey the laws must be, shall be-
protected in their rights. Those who do not,
must answer ut the bar Of justice, aud those
men Of influence who in practice defan,ly
trnmpIe upon the laws themselves, BY PreccPs
teach others to do SO, Should be the frst to
feel the firm grip of tho law, rather than the
obscure men whom they have mislei, Gen.
temcn, it is your duty and mine to enforce
the laws, Let us dose without fear, favor,
affection, prejudice or the hope Of reward.

Important Case Under the Fourteenth
Amendment.
JosEru McMrJu,AS, Sec'y.

As was to be expected, Judge Rivcs has
declared Mr.. j G, Kasey, sheriff Of Bedford
county, disqualified for holding Office by the
operation Of the fourteenth amendment, The
case was fully argued before him ut Lynch,
burg on Thursday, by j. Footc johnson and
Others, for Kusey, aud by Hon, Il. W. Hughes
for the government.
The matter was brought before the court on
information in the nature OF quo wdrranto,
preferred by the District.AttOruey, against
j. G. Kasey, the acting sheriff Of Bedford
county.
This says tic Richmond News, is the lirs,
decision given in II case Involving the violation
Of the fourteenth amendment, which has oc'
Cured in the State Of Virginia, aud should
udmonish gentleman who are SO eager for
Office, to first consider the consequences -
Judge Rivrs is u Nirgnian, and somewhat in
sympathy with our people, which may account
for the extreme lGuiGucy Of his order, which
only required KusCy to give bond to keep the
pcacc, aud to desst from exercising the duties
Of sheriff. We fear that all cases Of similar
character, coming before Underwood, will be
prosecuted 10 tho utmost letter OF the law.-
Gentlemen who arc now pressing their claims
for legislative houors, should adopt the pru.
dent course taken by Judge William W..
Crump Of Richmond, who, when solicited to
become candidate for the Senate, declined
on account of his disabilities under tho four.
tcenth amendment, prefcriug rather to remain
in private lie, than to run the risk oIinvolv-
ing the party or himself in any difficulty.
