The coins had been fled round the edge

coinage Of 1870. Such coin will not be
received at its full value although it

ED. JoURNAL:-It is written some-

own horn, and If he does not, it shall
be blown for him with vengeance"
In looking over the columns of your
valuable paper, l notice that Hay Fork
does not blow its horn, and thinking
short communication from here would
not be out of place, send you one.
At present, everything is looking we'll
in Hay Fork Valley. Broad fields Of
waving grain, nearly ready for the har-
vest, dotted here and there with wild
flowers Of every shade and color, meet
the eye in every direction and speak to
one of the energy and prosperity of our
husbandmen. Farmers are not jubi-
liant at the prospect Of large harvest
of grain this season but the hay crop
will be very heavy and in measure
compensate for the loss in the yield of
grain. Some ranchers have commenced
cutting hay, while Others are drawing
the old reapers out from last years.

Our usual quietness was broken last

Levi Leland who entertained the peo-

lectures on temperance. We were also
favored with a visit from the Co. Supt.
of Schools last week and although her
stay was short she made many friends,
who hope she may find it pleasant to
visit US again.
AS this is the grand old Centennial
4th about which we have read so much
in history, we propose to celebrate it,
in an appropriate way, here at home.
The patriotic people have met, declared
their intentions to have grand Picnic
on that day and the word has gone out
unto all the people round about; and
nothing will be spared 10 make the oc-

LOCAL LEGIsLATIoN.-Very little leg

the last Legislature. One of the local
laws makes the office of Road Overseer
elective, instead OF their being appointed
by the Board of Supervisors as now
Road Overseers will be elected ut the
November election this year, to hold for

for two years and the election will be held

Another law permits the Trustees of n
School District containing not more than
twenty-one census children to employ a
teacher who does not hold the certificate
required by law, and permits that teacher
to be paid out of the public School money
apportioned to the District. These two
acts, we believe, embrace all the Legisla-
ton of Il strictly local character.

The CENTENNIAL AT ALTeoNA.-The
Shasta Courier is our authority for say
ing that the patriotic citizens of Altoona
will celebrate the Centennial by flag
raising and other exercises. Captain
Charles Anderson, late of the Swedish
navy will have charge of the flag raising
and the Grafton will be delivered by Ste
phen Meek. If the old pioneer should
embody some of his experiences in these
wilds before the American possession
was dreamed of, il will prove a most val
liable historical document and we should
be highly gratifed to receive copy 10,

sees of local character possess great

Nor MUCu DIFFERENCE.-Whe it
became known that the amendment to the
Grand jury law had vitiated the proceed
ingS of the May term of Court, we re-
marked that that little bit of legislative
tlnkering had cost the county five or six
hundred dollars. The capture Of Demo
rest, however, necessitated Grand jury
for the July Term, even if one had not
already been called, so the pecuniary loss
to the county does not amount to much.
But the principle which makes important
laws go into effect before their purport is
known is very bad one, and we hope
the next Legislature will make provision
for printing and distributing all laws as
soon as they receive the Governors sig
nature.

SJPSIiSS,o Moore

When this individual, bv a surrepti-
tious use of his nagisterial authority,
took from the county Jail two prison
ers who had been committed toanswer
crimes the crimes they we're supposed
to have committed, he did what he
intended to result in a fendish dis
play of negro rule over white people,
or else he was grossly ignorant of the
functions of his Office, and of the
powers pertaining to that Office.
The readers of the JOURNAL will,
perhaps, not have forgotten that two
white men were arrested by the
authorities of the county for the hom-
icide of one Jackson, coiorsd man,
on Water street. These two white
men were. by order of this colored
''Jestiss' Moore, brought out of jail,
after their commitment, aud were
taken to the dead body of this colored
man Jackson, and required to touch it
for the purpose of seeing If b.ood
would not flow afresh from the wounds
that caused death-under the impress,
sion that the murderer's touch of his
victim would bring about this miracu-
lous result.
For his participation in this offense,
"JestiSs" Moore was tried aud con-
vjctei, at the term of the court
which has just ended, and was. by the
court, sentenced to twelve months
confinement in the couaty Jail, and
to pay fine of fifty dollars.
A motion for a new trial, which was
made, but which His Honor held over
for consideration until the next term
of the court, prevents the sentence
from being executed at once. Until
this motion is heard, the sentence of
the court is IN abeyance. Meantime,
the "Jestiss" is placed under bonds.
That this foolish practice should
have been exercised by a Judicial
officer in North Carolina, in the last
half of the nineteenth century, on
prisoners of the State who had been
rendered helpless by their arrest, was
scarcely to be expected in Whining
ton. It was like driving the last nails
in the cofins of liberty and justice,
before the faces of those who had
rocked the cradle of the one, and still
endeavor to promote the other.
