In supreme Court

On Tuesday last the questions Of law
taken up on writ of error, in the eases of
the Territory VS.. Charles Conrad and the
Territory vs.. Joseph Chartrand, were
argued before the supreme court, but no
decisions have as yet been made public.
In the case of the Territory vs.. Charles
Conrad, tried under an Indictment charg-
ing an assault with intent to kill, the jury
returned a verdict of guilty of an assault
with intent to do bodily harm, and without
excasable or justitiable cause" Upon this
verdict the court sentenced defendant to
five years Imprisonment in the penitentiary
at Fort Madison. Defendants counsel,
Hon. S. i. Sphinx, alleged error in the
felony, upon a verdict which convicted de-
PENDANT Of a misdemeanor, the punishment
for which could only be Imprisonment in
the county jail. Prosecution claimed that
the verdict was general-that the assault
was the main charge, and that the verdict
referring 10 the Indictment carried all the
allegations thereof in manner and form as
therein set forth, but with the lesser aggra-
yation, and that under our penal code and
criminal code the sentence was authorized.
Defendants counsel also insisted that the
verdict, in order to support the judgment,
should have specified that the assault was
committed by means of a deadly weapon !;
but having failed to do so, their verdict
was simply verdict of assault.
In the case of the Territory VS.. Joseph
Chartrand, Hon. S. L.. Sphinx and Bartlett
Tripp, Esq, appeared for defendant or
plaintiff in error, and Dist. Atty Faulk for
the Territory, In this case error was al.
legged in the constructions of the court to
the jury at the trial, the main objection
beng to the following language of the
court, to wit: The charge may be sus-
tanned if the evidence satisfies the jury be
yond all reasonable doubt that the defend
ant kept the house, and that it was re
sorted to by people of both sexes who were
reputed to be of lewd and lascivous char
acter, and that it was then generally re-
puted to be such house of ill fame. If such
be shown as above stated you may find
therefore that it was such house of i'll
fame.
1t was claimed by Messrs Sphinx and
Trip hat the court erred in charging the
jury that they might find the defendant
guilty upon this character OF evidence, they
claiming that such evidence only tended to
establish defendants guilt. Other minor
points were raised IN the argument of the
case. The court will probably render
opinions in the above cases at an early
day.
To-day the supreme court has been hear
ing the case of Russell B. Gress, vs.. James
w. Evans and John A. Burbank.

Of the little church, near the corner, may
be glad to hear what kind of teaching is
heard in it. Rev. K. Corner gave a very
able sermon last Sabbath, from the words
of Jesus Christ, without nc ye can do

nation or individuals can succeed unless
founded on the principles of the gospel as
revealed by Jesus Christ.

Boonsville Mo. Advertiser: On Friday
morning a skiff containing a solitary oc-
cupant from Fort Pierre, bound for New
Orleans, passed this city. He came from
Fort Pierre to this city-a distance of
400 miles-in three weeks.
W. H. b.. of the steamer Ashland writes
to the Cincinnati Enquirer: The Yellow
stone is different from any river l ever
saw. Some places it resembles the Ar
kansas river very much-haying bends
with cottonwood timber. at some
places it runs close to the bluffs like
Pine Bluff and White Bluff. At such
places the river is generally rarrow with a
strong current; other places it is as wide
as the Mississippi in its widest places,
but fuller of islands and towhead than
you can imagine, There is plenty of
water iii the river if it was confined
plenty of cottonwood timber, and larger
than on the Missouri.
The st. Louis Times has this 10 say
I'VE venture to say that, during the next
three years, there will be more new steam
boats built, and more money invested In
river commerce, than during any like pc
Rod since 1860. Many things combine
to strengthen this conclusion. A large
number of boats will have to be replaced
by new ones on account of their age and
lnadaptabiity to the times; when the
European wal has already stimulated ag-
riculture, which will have the effect OF
largely increasing the amount of produce
to be moved. A demand for tonnage will
then spring up; money will flow back to
the river; b0atyard and riyermen will be
given employment, and an era OF pros
perity will have been inaugurated before
we are aware OF it.

About immigration.

Ma. EDITOR A correspondent Of the ApVER-
TIsER, whose letter appears in your issue of the
Goth inst, and who speaks as q partisan of the
government on the subject of immigration. says;
' the present Ministry has turned the tables so
quickly, SO adroitly upon the gentlemen memori-
alists, and SO unexpectedly, that it must take the
country by surprise. The Ministry have cut the
gordian knot about which administrations, news
papers and advisers of all classes have bungled for
some two or three years. SC. Now I must pre-
SUM that the " memorialists'' mentioned in this
correction are the signers of a certain notable
address to His Majesty on the subject of i~mmigra-
ton; and as the three "foreign" Ministers of the
present Cabinet signed. and as one was on the Com
mittee to draft the address, these gentlemen have
evidently, according to this writer, turned the tables
upon themselves, to an extent that must take the
country by surprise. They cannot indeed awaken
any surprise by inviting landowners to offer induce
ments to intending immigrants; because such 9
purpose was fully set forth in an address issued by
the Executive Committee Of the Immigration Society,
some three years ago. in which the following en-
quiries, along with many others were propounded to
planters and other landowners. 'Please state if
yon have lands to offer to be worked on shares, aud

that this will be his last public act in the judicial
character. He viii doubtless continue in the
public service of the Kingdom as its Representa-
tive at Washington, but as a judge and the chief
of the Supreme Court, he will hereafter live only
in the record he has made during the twenty
years of his incumbency. Until his resignation
is announced in fact, We cannot properly review
at large his services to the country; but it will be
permitted US at this ~juncture to express the

maintained for impartial justice and unvarying
courtesy in the discharge of his duties. He will

ty. He is happy in having that which should

A WRITER on Physical Education in to-day's
paper makes some very sound observations and
pertinent suggestions as to the needs in this par
ticular of the male portion of the rising genera
ton, and gives a passing hint to the effect that
the girls should not be neglected. Certainly it
will be acknowledged as of the first Importance
that the physique of the future mothers of Ha-
waii should be looked after, as well as that of
the other sex.
During the year just past, we have heard more
than usual complaints of the excessive heat, and
if We are to credit some of our prophets, we
may expect another hot summer this year. Heat
creates lassitude, exercises upon the body an en-
ervating influence, softening the muscles and
affecting the freshness and VigOr of the mind.
Let anyone follow the bent of inclination under
the influence of the heat of the weather, and
they will soon adopt the regular midday siesta,
with its seemingly refreshing but in reality still
more eneryating sleep, and thus in giving way
to the beckonings of seeming comfort, they
become still more uncomfortable.
In the older countries of the worid-as Eng
land and Germany-the sun during the summer
months sends its rays Town as fercely and more
vertically than on these islands but where can
be found healthier looking ladies, with cheeks
whose bloom vies with the rose or peach, than in
England, Ireland or Germany The secret of
their toilet is-ExERCsE. 1t is a well-known
fact that English ladies devote daily some hours
to physical exercise, of which pedestrianism is
the principal. Many a country lane. when the
hawthorn is in bloom, is enlivened by the pre-
sence of fair pedestrians taking long walks for
health sake -" constitutional = returning
home with sparkling eyes and glowing cheeks.
Life in the tropies,-as most people liye,-
fades the cheek and insidiously saps the springs
of health, cheerfulness and life. No cosmetic
can restore to the outward person what the
springs of life have lost within. Health will be
secured, beauty enhanced, ennui and languor
banished and cheerfulness and content bless the
mind, if our Hawaiian young ladies will make it
a rule of their lives to take pedestrian exercise
not for a few steps or a neighborly call, but for
two or three miles of vigorous walking. Our
mornings are generally beautiful (and SO are our
evenings) with cool and invigorating airs. At
this season particularly is the time to lay up an
amount of strength to meet the coming heats of
summer by walks up the valley or along the sea-
shore. Those who may have the nerve to for
sake the warm couch for a brisk tramp at day
break will need no cosmetics for their cheeks or
sauces to stimulate an appetite for breakfast.
