The Late Senator Owens, of South
Carolina.

Captain Samuel Dihb]e, Of the
South Carolina legislative committee
to investigate and prosecute charges
against late officials in that State, is
i'll Baltimore looking after the affairs
Of the late Young John Patterson
Owens, ex- Senator from Laurens
County, who died at the Howard
House, Baltimor, last Wednesday.
Mr.. Dibble say $ he has taken no steps !,
Yet in the matter, and is here rather
to learn Of Whit Ovens effects con-
sisted. lie may pursue some legal
course to day.
The incidents Connected With the.
disposition of the effects Of Owens in
Baltimore were substantially nsf fol- !,
lows: On Thursday, officials of South
Carolina, who had heard of Ovens
death, telegraphed to the proprietor
of the Howard House and to the
Chief Of Police of Baltimore to see
that his affects did not fall into i'm !.
proper hands. Owens was under in.
dictment III South Carolina for enbe1
Element, He was on the bond ut an
ex-'rrcasnrer an'l was largely indebta.
e,l to the State. "a man and woman
had left South Carolina to join Owens
previous t. his death, and it wa4 sta'-
c'l that they were not the parties who
should get the property. The South
Carolina officials asked that an inven
cry nf the effects be made, and thas
they he held subject to the demand of
the authorized claimants. Marshal
Gray says that, in accordance with
this request, he went to the proprietor
of the Howard House. He saw Mr.
Wood, and aseertained that Owens
left valuable papers and effects. An
inventory Of the property was taken
in the presence Of witnesses. A copy
Of the inventory was telegraphed to
South Carolina, and the original kept
for the inspection Of any one legally
entitled to inspect it. The effects were
placed i'll the Safe Deposit Company
building, where they now are. The.
woman who claimed to be the wife Of
Owens left the hotel on Friday prior
to the arrival of. T. Owens, half.
brother, who stated that the dead OK
Senator had no family. The half
brother was shown the effects, which
were taken from The Safe Deposit for
that purpose, and he took memoir
andnm ut them, but was refused pos
session Of the effects bee ,use he could
not show any legal right to them.
Attachments have been laid in South
Carolina against property to a large
amount standing in the name of Owens
including bank deposits, &C., the
location of which was ascertained
through the inventory transmitted to
South Carolina from Baltimore. The
investigation committee, of which
Captain Dibble is member, was ap-
pointed by joint resolution Of both

TO the Triul Justice Of TIC FIRST Judicial
Circuit:
To expedite your own business and
to simplify mine. | adde's to you this
circular, in order to bring to your at
tention few important points in the
administration Of your Offices.
l. It's your duty, OF. the prcscn,a-
ton Of a cause of criminal proceed
ings, to decide, primarily, whether
the offence charged be one within
your jurisdi ction to hear and decide,
or only TO examine and bind; and for
your Information OH this point, I cite
the law upon the subject: "irial
"Justices shall have juris LECTION ofall
Offences which may lie subject t, tn.

Of 500, or thirty days confinement,
Is the murimHm penalty. 1t will IT,
for instance, inciu,lca case wherein
the fine may be from S25 to 500, or
Imprisonment from one t 0 sixty days.

"and other breaches Of The peace,

And l would suggest, such assault
are Of u high s.and aggravated nature,
wherein there is apparent intent to
kill, or reckless disregard of human
life, or where deadly weapon is used !.
NVenever the case presented is not
within the jurisdiction Of the Trial
Justice, he should examine into same,
and commit, or bind over for trial.
Ibid. 49, p. 1876.
2. Bear in mind that the State, not
the prosecutor, is the plaintiff in all
criminal proceeding, and no one has
a right to appear as council for the
State except the solicitor, or one de-
puted by him In cases of great i'm
portancc, it may be proper for you to
notify the solicitor, and ask for coun-
sci.

4. III cases of homicide, the instru
ment with which the killing was ef
fected should, if possible, be secured
and forwarded with the papers to be

ship, time, and locality, which 60 to
constitute tho offence.

suffi cheney of bail. 1t is not enough
that the sureties justify by taking

Meeting of the Legislature.
AUSs u - II A,
Wednesday Morning, January }, 1877.

The Fifty-sixth legislature of the State
of Maine begins its session to-day. The
inclement weather and deep snow have
not served to prevent the usual full at
tendance at the opening.
The most important business OF the SEES
sion will be the election of a United States
Senator. Upon whom the choice will de-
volve there is not a shadow OF doubt.
There Is but one name upon the lips OF re-
publican members in connection with the
Office, tina; of James G, Blaine. We an
ticipate unanimity and harmony at the eau
Gus for the nomination of the candidate,
and when the election of Mr.. Blaine is com
pleted the result will be regarded with
the most profound satisfaction by his i'm
mediate constituents in Maine, also by
that broader national constituency who
have in many ways attested their admira-
tion OF him as a man and statesman.
The members come together with the
best of feeling, and with every prospect
of a pleasant and harmonious session.
There will be able members in both
branches. Considerable business has al
ready developed and more will appear as
the session advances.

began to thump on the bar.
