o was entitled to be sworn in.

he was entitled to be sworn in. A
lively debate ensued upon Waliac.'s
resolution. Spencer called for the
reading of the report of the Senate
Committee on Mississippi Affairs.
Blaine argued that the report on Mis-
sissippi affairs might show that the
Legislature of that State which elected
Lamar was an illegal body, but he
should be sworn in, and his election
was matter for subsequent inquiry.
1t was a dangerous thing to stop a sem
ator from taking the oath when he pre-
sented himself with proper creden-
tials. After further debate, Spencer
said he was opposed to seating Lamar,
because the Legislature which elected
him was fraudulent. He had sent to
the clerks desk and read the report of
Boutwell's Committee on Mississippi
Affairs.
A courier from the front arrived at
Deadwood. Black Hills, yesterday, and
reported that Sioux scouts had discov-
cred another Indian village, containing
between fifty and sixty lodges, located
about 60 miles north of Deadwood.
Captain Vernoh's battalion, consisting
of companies @, B and L, Third Cav
airy, will proceed to attack it at once.
Weldon, who attempted to assassi-
pate Packard, arrived in Philadelphia,
yesterday. 1t is thought he will not
be prosecuted, owing to the interposi-
ton of friends.

THE FOURTH JUDICIAL DIS
TRICT.

A substitute for Comins' bill 10 re-
district the, State for Judicial purposes
passed the Legislature, and is now a
law of the State. Instead of uniting
Humboldt and Elko in one Judicial
District, as proposed by Comins' bill,
the substitute leaves them separate as
heretofore, but reduces the salary of
the District Judge of this county from
1000 to $4,000 per annum, and the
serms of Court from four to three
year. Reducing the terms of Court
will undoubtedly effect saving to the
tax payers of at least $1,000 a year.
but the propriety of reducing the
Judges salary is questionable. There
rs scarce a practising attorney in
m the county, WHO 10 competent to act
ln the capacity of District Judge, hose
business does not exceed $4,000 year,
at least we are so informed, end it may
be difficult to get competent lawys
10 take the office at the reduced salary,
as it would debar him from practising
during his term. The Act, however,
does no, take effect until the first of
January, 1879, and by that time things
may be different from v hat they are
now, and plenty of competent men
may aspire to the place.

TEN YEARS IN SING SING.

The celebrated pugilist, Joe Coburn,
was sentenced yesterday in the Court
of General Sessions, New York City,
to ten years imprisonment in the State
Prison for shooting police officers
Tobias and Jerfias. Four lawyers were
employed to defend bin, and though
he was suffering from wounds.received
at the time of the shooting, motion
for q continuance of the case was
denied. The trial began week ago
yesterday, and strange as it may ap.
pear whole day was spent in getting
jury. His appearance in Court
created considerable interest, and the
room was throngsd with spectators.
His long dropping mustache and
white cloth wrapped around bis head
gave him the appearance Of the tradi-
tional pirate of yellow covered novels
He was ably defended, bat the EVIL
dsnce against him was strong, and the
jury found him guilty of manslaughter.
A ten years training in Sing Sing will
probably end his usefulness in the
prize ring. He wore the champions
belt with pride, and was considered the
most scientific shoulder hitter in the
United States, His sparring exhibit
tons in Virginia Cisy and San Fran
cisco some years ago were highly COM

Minnesota Republican :Conven.

Sr. PAUL, September 2S.-The follow
ing are the principal resolutions in full
as adopted by the Republican State Con-
vention: g.
l. That we declare our unswerying de.
votion TO those fundamental principles
which gave birth and inspiration TO the
great Republican party, and in behalf Of
which National unity has been preserved
at an incalculable cost; that the truth and
value Of these principles have been at.
tested alike by the achievements Of peace
and the sacrifices Of war, and that in their
maintenance and practical enforcement
abide the common hope OF all men, re-
gardless Of creed, color or nativity. We
believe that with the suppression Of
armed resistance to the National aulhori.
~ the object Of our late war was subStan.
italy achieved, and that pursuant to the
true theory Of representative govern.
ment, which tolerated no subject race
among lis people, the several States
should now be left free 10 manage their
local affairs in their own way, subject
only upon National issues to the
constitutional and paramount au-
thority OF the United States, and
We hail, with qualification, the efforts
OF the wise, patriotic President TO pro.
mote sentiments oil peace and fraternal
concord among the people Of the States,
the Union, in recognition Of the broad
principles Of National unity, local self
government and the equal rights Of all
citizens.
.. That the sincere and pefsistent ef.
forts Of President Hayes 10 redeem the
promisss made in his letter Of acceptance
and inaugural message, as well as the re.
peaed pledges OF the Republican party,
In behalf Of civil service reform, deserve
the cordial support OF the Republican
party and commend Themselves to the best
sentiment Of the country At large, and be-
Iievlng as We do that purity, efficiency
and economy in the administration Of
public affairs will be in effective propor-
,iOn, as honesty and capabiliIy become
qualifications for the public rs they are

right 10 make nominations 10 Office as the
