| Surfeited as We are with the contt r.
tions and chickering's of the present po-
li.icai campaign, and weary of abuse and
abusing, we tnin with sigh Of relief ard
gratified heart to that honest and faith
| full old subject, The Columbus Wagon
| Road. When We look back at the acres
Of copy" We have expended on that
| subject, and call TO mind the leagues of
printed prayers we have put up tor the
completion Of that road. our heart leaps
up with joy at tinding the said sui jet
still worrying the mind of brother ed-
tor and the road itself still offering a
field for blasting and blasted items.
And SO we turn with n mixed sense of
restfulness and exultation to the columns
Of the Borax Miner, to find there and
clip thence this most interesting item,
namely, to wit, as follows: Having had
occasion to visit Aurora last week, an
opportunity presented itself for a per-
sonal view of the much-talked-of new
toll road. The first point (eoing from
Columbus) upon which noticeable i'm
provement is seen. is in the canyon lead
ing from Teel's Marsh to Whisky Flat.
Heavy grading is found through and
over these mountains, and from Whisky
Flat out to the valley which connects
with the old Aurora road the work has
been pretty heavy. The fact that the
labor put upon the road has been judi
ciously employed manifests itself TO the
most casual observer-tLe "cuts" and
fills are so clean that it is apparent to
all that they have been done under the
supervision of a master hand. In this
Mr.. J. j. Holmes, the road-master, dc |
serves all praise; he has done well all
that has so far been accomplished, but !
the amount Of solid cutting which vet |
remains to be done to prepare the new
road for profitable teaming would appal |
a less experienced road-builder. The !
sides of the long canyon are SO steep and |
crooked that in some places it will take |
more cutting to get all additional foot in |
width than was required for all the |
present grading; and when the work of
widening and Strengthening up the road |
to make it available for heavy teams does
as is now contemplated. !
there will be many thousands of dollars
needed to take on. the sharp turns and
make the deep cuts necessary. The re-
cent rains and the hauling of lumber
and machinery for the Northern Belle
Company's mill. reported coming over
this road, will do much to harden the
road bed.

a Disa strSus Cloud Eurys.

TIE Dorax Ninr, of October 9Th,
informs its readers that another ard
more fearful cloud-burst than the one
mentioned in our last issue, occurred On
Saturday morning last, on the Benton
road. The water in great volume came
rushing down the gorge inst below what
is known as Five-mile SpriDg between
McBlide's Valley and T,el's Marsl),
and at the crossing Of the wagon-road IT
encountered Kelly's mule team, loaded
with ore for this place. Before the
driver could extricate himself and his
team from their perilous position, five Of
the mules were drowned. A Bishop
Creek team, belonging to Jake Powers,
driven by Brooks, and also bound for
Columbus, crossed the gorge in safety
but few mometns before the Kelly team
drove into it. The mules lost were unu-
sually large and fine ones, and were
probably worth $500 each. This acct
dent is particularly unfortunate for gen.
ial Pap" Kelly. coming as it does close
upon the loss OF dozen or more head
from fire. disease, etc, but it's a long
lane without q turn. "Pgp"--in the
meanwhil wei re sorry.

1.-The Court of General Sessions is now sitting
here, Judge Carpenter presiding. An incident
occurred in court this morning worthy of record
rs indicative of the NAL administration of the law
on the part of certain officers, and the prompt and
fearless discharge Of duty by the Judge. One Cy-
rus Clarkson, colored, was put upon his trial tor
grand larceny and on his alignment selected
jury of colored men. He was proven guilty Dy
the testimony of three white men, wholly uncN-
ceptionabe in character, and each corroboratlng
the other. The only evidence for the defense was
the mere denial of the prisoner that he had any
thing to do with the matter in hand. After care
full charge from his Honor, the judge, and warn
ing against yielding to the sympathy OF race the
Jury retired, and after conterring returned ver-
dict of not guilty, verbally, not one of them being
able to write the verdict or sign his name. The
clerk under the direction of the court, wrote out
the verdict and it was received and announced.
Thereupon the judge discharged these JurYmeh
from further attendance upon the court, statlnS
that the law required jurors to be selected tor their
intelligence and honesty and that he regrettea 10
say that they were not tit under the law 10 act as
jurymen. It has been the custom Of the small
politicians, to whom the important duty of max
ing up the jury list is entrusted, to select men lor
the most part, first, because they were partsanS
and colored men, and next, from those who would
be most grateful for the privilege OF serving as
Jurors for the sake of the pay. The proportlons
of race have often been great as four negroes 10
any really educated, intelligent and representa-
tive man Of property has ever been placed on the
list. When we consider that Judge Carpenter, on
his own motion, has taken this honorable ana
fearless stand against this corruption OF the very
fountain of justice, he merits the plaudts OF eve,
ry fair minded and patriotic citizen. 1t IS JUST
rebnke to the low demagogueism that seems W
version of authority in the interest Of party and
race
