Two weeks ago we charged that either
Lewis GIessner OF Judge s. j. Huffman
had partially suppressed the sworn state
ment made by Geo. F. Pendleton, Esq,
ms TO the condition of the County Treas
ury, in September last. Wegave a copy
of the document, and tie part sup
pressed. We referred our readers 70 the
Courier OF October l, 1874, and the copy
of the document itself, on file in the Au-
ditor, Treasurer, and Probate Judges
office, for proof that our statement was
true.
We now again demand that these gem
tleInen come to the front, and give their
reasons for this unwarranted and un-
heard-of proceeding. They have not
dared to deny it. The proof is ON record
against them, and they know it, and are
trying to sneak out Oft by silence. That
game will not win, gentlemen. Show
your hands.
Lewis Glessner, you have made loud
professions of honest and impartial jour
nalism. You have Haunted at the head
of your columns the motto;
We sketch the world precisely as il goes
Without regard TO friends or foes.
''Tear down the Haunting lie" The
proof is on record that you garbled
and suppressed a sworn statement,
made by a member of your own party,
who was too honest to suppress the
truth. You cannot deny the charge; and
| it will and ought to cling to you like the
| shirt of Nessus. We ask honest men of
both parties TO go to the Auditors Office
and ask for the Courier of October l,
1874, and compare the statement there
published with the original statement,
on file in the same Office. You have a
right to do so. They are the property
of the county-your property and mine,
and you have a right 10 examine them
when you please.
Nor is this the only note belonging to
Henry Brown that has been in the coun-
ty Treasury. When that great and good
member of the Courthouse Ring, II. b.
Wall, left for parts unknown, Judge
Barnd appointed w. H. Wheeler, assist
ed by Henry Sheets, to examine the
County Treasury. After counting uI
the money that was left, these gentlemen
made a list OF notes and other evidence:

THE PARKER CASE.

Further action in the criminal prosecution
of Parker has assumed tangible form. The
necessary papers have been prepared by the
Attorney. General charging Parker with grand
larceny in the theft of thirty dollar coupon
from the Treasury of the State This charge,
it is said, can be sustained by evidence pro-
cured in Columbia, obviating the necessity of
taking evidence at distance by commission.
Under the head of "Parker's Prospects" the
Columbia correspondent of the Neacs and
Courier writes:
Although public interest in the Parker case
has sunk down to its level, there is still a
good deal of speculation as to what the law
yers are going to do. Is Parker to remain in
;ail all the summer, or how? There are very
few facts in regard to this matter, except that
the Judgment for $4,000 which was found
for the State during the recent term Of the
court has been filed, and that the papers in
the criminal prosecution against Parker are
being prepared. The next thing in order is
the execution of the judgment; but as Parker
is not known to own any real estate, it is hard
to tell what they will execute upon, unless they
execute upon the person of the defendant. 1t
is very generally believed that Parker's coun-
sci are holding off until Judge Carpenter aud
the attorney. general leave the State or city for
summer vacation, when they will move

ready on this coast. Our statesmen are
puzzled to foresee what effect the informing
ling of so great number of an uncongenial
race may exercise socially and politically on
this section of the Union. Already they re-
gulate the wages of labor-not only onpub'
lie works. but in factories and in our house
holds. They monopolize washing and vege-
table peddling; they control cigar.making,
boots and shoes, underwear, &c. they are tin
smiths, watchmakers, carpenters, broom
makers, fishermen, and gardeners; they are
very expert in woollen fabrics. 1t is amaz-
ing how quickly they learn to use American
machinery. They are excellent cooks and
chamber servants they are expert money
counters, in banks. In fact, they can turn
their hands to almost anything. They are
industrious, expert at bargaining, and very
economical. AS house servants they are
cleanly, but apt to strike for higher wages,
and vacate without notice. Dishonesty is
rather too frequent but the notions of Euro
pean domestics are exorbitant,and housekeep-
ing would be impracticable without China
men. Chinawomen never hire out. China
men show no disposition to regard politics.
We never saw Cinnamon tipsy. but they
gamble universally, and exchange knocks
among themselves. A shilling goes further
than dollar with Americans, and though
they are quick to strike for wages, they work
for whatever offers rather than be idle.
Every man can read and write.

- Last season there were shipped from
Salem, to Chicago and other points, over three
millions pounds of dried blackberries, fol

sentence of death in the case of Reuben VIII

he was duly graduated and assigned to duty
with the army, then in Mexico, with the rank
of brevet second lieutenant The youthful
soldier advanced with Scots column upon
the City of Mexico, and was one of that bril-
liant group in which Jackson, Magruder and
Mcclellan shone. He partici pated in the
bloody battles of Contreras, Cherubusco,
Molno del Rey and Chapultepec, and was
twice promoted, at the latter place being ad-
vanced to the rank of captain. At the end
of the war Capt. Pickett was assigned to duty
in the Territories, at the head Of his com pany,
the Ninth Infantry. 1t was on the Pacific
coast that Capt. Pickett added new lustre to
his record, for he was ordered to hold the fa-
nous Island of St. Juan. This he did with
GOODNESS and tenaeity. Opposed to him he
found three or four British men-ofwar sent to
take forcible possession of the island by Gov
ernor Douglas, whose arrogance came near
precipitating the two great Engish.speaking
races into war. In this position Capt. Pick
EFT not only showed the resolution of good
soldier, in face of overwhelming odds, but
tact and judgment. For his services in this
grave business he was recommended by Gen.
Harney for brevet. Pickett remained on
the Pacific coast at the post he had made
celebrated until 1861. The cloud of war had
now overspread the sky, and having resigned
his commission, he made his way across the
plains to give his sword to bis native State.
His subsequent career as brave and gal.
liant officer, and a leader in whom his men
had the utmost confidence, is too fresh in the
minds Of the people to require recapitulation

the constitution, no man can be imprisoned

principally on Section 20, Article ], of the
State Constitution to sustain them. This sec
ton reads: No person shall be imprisoned for
