lowing;
A tramp came along the other day and
seeing a good chance to MP a box of to-

rates than our merchants can. Chief

Judge Mccormick said 80 days quicker
than blink. Bush & johnson paid the
loss and there is one less tramp in town.
There are 50 many teams in town after
upcounty freight, and the depot is so
small that often teams have to lay ever a
day before their turn comes So that they
can get up to the platform TO load. Then
you can hear some fellows say "cuss"
words.

Gagged AT LAST. The now more than
ever notorious Maurice Bosqui arrived
here last night ON the steamer Ieiicaa,
in charge Of Sheriff Bun and deputies,
and is again safely lodged in the county
Jail. Notwithstanding the fact that the
steamer arrived after dark, there must
have been several hundred persons con-
greguted on the wharf with the hope of
obtaining a glimpse OF the prisoner. All
sorts Of rumors are aaoat as to tho man
ner Of his ro-oapture, but the fact seems
to be that he was apprehanded by an ar
my officer. Th. is OF little consequence,
however, and our readers will be content
for the present with knowing that just
now Maurice Bosqui is again behind the

THE 0TAND jury SYsTEM.-Among
other propositions freely urged by the
press for action by the Constitutional
Convention, is one looking to the aboli-
zion Of the expensive, cumbrous and un-
neee'sary tribunal Of a Grand Jary. But
however much we may agree that the
system should be abolished, it can only
be done by and through an amendment
10 the Federal Constitutior tie Yth ar.

that DO person shall be held to answer
for capital or otherwise infamous crime
unless on a prosentment or indictment by

mon had been employed as express mes
senger on the railroad for several years,
but gave up the situation and bought an
express wagon mt Chico. His father be-
ing telegraphed to went down and tool,

ing in the hope that home influences
would bring his mind to rightcondition.
The Scammon family is another illustra
ton Of the truth Of the old adoge that
"misiortunes never come singly." 1t is
only a few weeks since Mr.. Scammon
senior met with an accident by which
one Of bis legs was broken.
