The great strife in tho present political
campaign in Addison County is over the
States Attorney question. At the Coun-
t. convention at which the other nomin.
nations were made and ratified, it was
decided to leave the ticket without any
name presented for States Attorney, sub
hitting it directly to the people to make
their own selection for that office. The
contest is row evidently between temper
ance and rum, aud there is a determine.
ton to fight the battle on that line. Col

both Of Nergennes, are the candidates,

candidate for the rum corruptionists Of
the County. We hope he mfy live long
enough to repent of the folly and recov-
er from the disgrace, aud that every de-

the question, whether the power OF grog-

favor Of Mr.. Lucia as shall prove an over.

ADDISON County STATES ATTORNEY .--
la Addison county there is lively war
on the States Attorney question. joel
H. Lucia, of Nergennes, is the temper
ance candidate, and Geo. Il. Chapman, Of
the same place, is the anti-temperance
man Those who are in favor of max ing
war upon run, who think it inconsistent
to license the cause of crime itself, and
who believe in the enforcement of law
aud order, will vote for Mr. Lucia. Most
of the better class of people will vote for
him. But those who sell rum, those who
drink il, those who are almost careless or
indifferent even if honest in conviction,
and those who form the criminal class,
will vote for Mr.. Chapman.
Now we have nothing to say against
Mr Chapman, personally, hut there is
no. an intelligent man IN Addison county
who does not know that voting for him
will be an Endorsement of liquor selling

sible introduction in that city. The con.
trivance is well known in England though
it is somewhat Of a povelty here The
box is Of jappaned metal, having deep
lid and high internal shoulder rising up
within the lid, so as to prevent voting pa.
pers from being introduced or Withdrawn
in an irregular manner In front the lid
presents sloping surface. il which a
brass frame containing three sliding plate.

when drawn down, opens the slit through
which voting papers are to be passed into
the box, and the lateral plates, when they
are both drawn down, allow the lid u
box to be raised. When sealed no votI q
paper can be passed the slit without first
breaking the central SEAL and the lid can.
not be raised without breaking both the
lateral seals. AS explained in our recent
notice Of the seal lock. these seals arc OF
glass, so lettered and numbered that they
can be identified, and so made that when
broken they cannot be replaced Hence
such ballot box, if it9 lateral plate is
sealed when the voting is over seems to

-gsa THE Supreme Court of California
has vindicated its dignity by imposing
a severe penalty for contempt on poor
lunatic who had seated himself on the
Judges bench. A few days ago one
c. f.. Pickett entered the courtroom
during the absence of Justice Crockett,
and took his scat. He declined TO va
cate when ordered, and was summarily
elected. Justice Wallace thercupon
imposed on Pickett sentence of i'm
prisonment for five days and fine of
$1,000 for contempt of court, the fine to
be worked out at - day. On learn
ing that Pickett had shaken his fist
when the door of the court room was
being closed behind him, Judge Wal
lace ordered him to be brought back,
and added another five days imprison-
ment and another $500 fine. OF course
the court has full power and discretion
to vindicate his dignity in eases of con-
tempt and no other tribunal can inter-
ferc. But the discretion of the Judge
is hardly proved by this act. If noticed
at all it would have been better to send
the poor fellow TO the asylum.

men. and told them herd Of butialoes
were in a certain location. They found
the herd and killed several buffaloes, re.
naming in camp two days drying the
meat, when they saw party of forty
white men in the distance. Two Of the
Osages rode out to meet them and were
surrounded and disarmed of their bows
and arrows, Four more then rode out
and were treated in the same manner.
Two more then approached, but were
warned by the prisoners and fled. The
others at the same time attempted to es.
cape, and four were shot dead The
other indians escaped. The conduct Of
the whites incensed the Indians greatly

SINGULAR CONDUCT OF A JURY.-A
man named Briceland under sentence of
death for murder, has petitioned to the
Pennsylvania board Of pardons to release
him. One Of the strong points urged in
his behalf was the manner in which the
jury arrived at the verdict 10 his trial. as
stated in the certificate Of one or two of
the jurors who rendered the decision. to
wit: That several of the jurors al no time
during their deliberations believed that
he was guiltyas ho stood indicted accord
ing to the evidence adduced, but that af.
ter being out long time and believing
that they could not be discharged until
they agreed, and fearing they might be
taken i'll by longer confinement they con
sented to render verdict Of guilty, hold
ing the jurors who differed with them
responsible for the result, and thus wash
ing their hands of the blood of Briceland
