These prices, be it noted, are Gold in 1860

those Of 1860.
Nor is this all. Our Western people are now

imported goods cost given sum under high
duty by no means proves that their price here
would be reduced fifty cents per yard by a
reduction of the duty to that extent. But let
Messrs Stewart, Clallin, and Chittenden, add

THE STATESMAN on NOGGLE-The States
man desires to know whether Chief Justice
Noggle has been captured by the Democracy
and if he as."gope the way Of Lyon, Gibson and
all the other captives TO Democratic barney"
Because Judge Noggle don't wear the States,
man collar, ergo, he is not Radical, and the
Democracy have captured him. Such is the
logic of the :"rlng." Our neighbQr complains
that Judge Noggle remains Q few days 10
Boise City after the ADJOURNMENT of the Sp-
preme Court, instead Of leaving post-haste for

resided in his District for six or eight months,
although the Organic Act made it obligatory
on him to do SOL Lyon and Gibson were never
captured by =" Democratic barney" but were
captured by Radical principles, and stole all
the public monies committed to their charge.
Moulton, who stole between eleven and twelve
thousand dollars, has probably Joined his dear
brother Whittermore, and gone into the evan

groes OF South Carolina. which doubtless ac-
counts to some extent for the Radical majority
in that State. If our neighbor would move

think they would be in their element "p'irty

The refusal Of Justice Winters to try
this case ON a warrant issued by Re-

magistrate should be invited to hear the
case. The cases of young Mr.. Browne
and Mr.. Lavatte, charged with compile
ity in the homicide, will be heard at the
same time and before the same magis-
trate. 1t is probable that the investiga-
ton of the homicide will be commenced
before one of our many city justices
some time this afternoon. In the mean
time the Brownies and Mr.. Lavatte re-

Justice Jones commenced hearing

ing a requisition from the Governor of
Pennsylvania for the arrest of Mr.. c.

ment found in Philadelphia, for obtain
ing goods, belonging to Mr.. j. Caldwell,
under false pretenses, went out to Plan
nensteihl's beer garden yesterday in
company with Mr.. Caldwell in order to
make the arrest. Previous to executing
the process, Mr.. Caldwell made PROPOSE
tons to compromise the claim, which
propositions were received by Mr.. Plan
uensteihl, and efforts were made to Sc
cure the claim with two Endorsed notes,
but the proper security could not be
found in the city. Pfannensteihl was
then arrested and brought to the city.
This forenoon Mr.. Pfannensteihl swore
out a warrant before Esquire Winters
against j. Caldwell, H. D. Cranmer, dep
uty sheriff, and j. l.. Lightner, special
state messenger, charging them with YER
bally threatening to accuse him of
crime, and to arrest him and cause him
to be imprisoned, with intent thereby to
derive pecuniary advantage, in this, that
they threatened to do said acts if afiiant
would not give his notes, with security,
for 5000. The matter will be fully in
vestigated by Justice Winters this after
noon. the officers in the meantime hold
ing Pfannensteihl in custody under the

There is more active feeling in money
matters to-day, and at several of the leading
banks the demand has improved. but yet is
not pressing; in fact it is thought that nearly
all the paper falling due between the LIST and

paper is being discounted at 10 to IL per cent.
There is considerable money going to the in

wear much more cheerful aspect than year

THE CANNON.MORsE CASE.

CAPTAIN Wynn Cannon demanded
TO Jail without Bail.
The arguments of Colonel Bullock for
the defense and of Captain Folkes for
the State, concluded the case at l:3O
this afternoon. While Justices Winters,
Burke and Elliott were consulting to-
gether as to the decision to be rendered
by the court, the large crowd in the
courtroom remained as still as death.
The countenances Of the Justices were
eagerly scanned in order to discover,
if possible, the minds construction in
the face. In few minutes Justice
Winters announced the ruling of the
Court to be that the defendant Wynn
Cannon was guilty of murder in the first
degree, and should be remanded to Jail
without bail. The decision OF the Court
was generally commented on by the
friends of both parties as they slowly
left the courtroom. What these COM
ments were amount to nothing. The
Cannon-Morse sensation is over for a
time.
