The other route is by way Of Reefs

River at Nick Jani~e'S ranch, about
thirty miles east Of Fort Laramie,
and thence in a northraSt"Tiy dirrc-

mail and passengers from Choyrmn"
to Red Cloud and Spotted Tail
Agencies, owned by lIOShirr and
Cinnamnnd, and also by freight
trains, ranchmen and settlers. This
route is settled up as far as the Platte
River, and all of the Indian goods
for these agencies, and most of the
military supplies for the two mill
tary posts at the agencies, Camps
Robinson and Sheridan, are trans
ported over it. The fare to Red
Cloud is fifteen dollars, and the dis
lance from there to the Black Hills
Is about fifty miles. The following

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-Persons who re-
call the circumstances of the safe burglary
conspiracy trial, about year ago. may re.
member that after it was over the grand
jury by whom the alleged conspirators
had been indicted was found to have been
illegal in its constitution. Upon this dis
covery, not only all untried cases on in
dictments then found fell to the ground,
but had it not been for a special act which
expired Feb. l, 1875, the District of Co
lumbia would have been left several
months without a grand jury. During
this time, the Pacific Mail investigation
took place, and the testimony taken before
the Ways and Means Committee seemed
to convict VIM, s, King of having been
guilty of perjury in his testimony before
the same committee of the previous con-
gress. As no grand jury was in session.
after Feb, /, and none could be drawn, as
the law then stood, until the expiration of
two years from the time the alleged per-
jury was committed, it would have made
Mr.. Kings prosecution impossible, under
the statute of limitations, Both houses of
congress, therefore, passed a jury bill for

links the conclusion to the premises2 The
law is sound, for it is based on the funda-
mental principles of religious liberty, viz:
allowing all persons to worship God accord
ing to the dictates of their own consciences,
and not compelling them to worship him
otherwise.
The law simply permits persons who
are confined in penal institutions, or are
supported in charitable asylums under
state control, to select. teachers and seek
religious consolation according to the
faith they profess or in which they
were trained: and protects them against
being coerced to accept the services OF
ject to this? Would they not rejoice to
see such law enacted in every Catholic
country on the globe? Indeed, does it not
spring from the same doctrine of tolera-
ton in matters of religion for which Mar
tin Lnther himself contended in Germany,
which drove W. Brewster and his Puritan
associates from England to Holland, and
thence to Massachusetts, and on which
Roger Williams founded Rhode Island and
William Penn Pennsylvania? Was it not
on this principle that in our times such
nonconformists as John Angel james, the
great Congregational preacher, and Samuel
Quincy, the eminent Quaker banker, re
fused to pay tithes voluntarily to the
established church of England, which drove
Thomas Chalmers out of the established
church of Scotland, and compelled Glad
stone to disestablish the Episcopal Church
of Ireland? These Protestant illustra
tons might be multiplied almost indefinite
ly, and keen controversialist might per
haps be able to press them to logical con
illusions lying far beyond the very proper
law under consideration.
