TIE CHERRY CREEK CASE.
CONVICTION OF WILSON.

After long and arduous trial, in which a
forensic wind was expended, the first of the
three cases to be tried under the Indictment
| in the U. S. District Court for this District of
the CHERRY Greek Stage Robbers was CON
cluded night before last by the return by the
petit jury of a verdict of "Guilty' against
Edward Wilson, one of the three men indicted.
Our readers have already been informed of
the nature of this case. It is unnecessary to
recapitulate its history. Suffice it to say that
in this case the gravamen of the testimony
Gf we may employ the expression), was to
prove an alibi The maneuvering ct and
about this point was very sharp and at close
quarters. 1t was a matter of horology-a
thing of watches, problem of strict chron-
ology. A driver or two was of remarkable
niceness Of memory concerning the precise
moment when the stage was stopped for the
purpose of robbery; and Jehu's time piece
was again called in question as to the exact
moment when the stage was once more going
unvexed upon its way. 1t is a serious thing
to stop Uncle Sans mails, much more to
plumber his sacred letter sacks. And so there
was much swearing pro and con over this
theory and purpose of an alibi. The chief
witness for the defense, however, was broken
down by the sharp cross fire by the attorneys
for the prosecution. There evident
discrepancy in some of his more material
statements; there piling up of the hard |
testimony of positive witnesses; there was a
strange improbabiity of the alleged abb; and
so, after being out comparatively short time,
the jury, only having taken one ballot, came
into Court with the verdict as above stated, |
and so endeth the first lesson. U. S. District
Varian and Gen. Kittrell are to be
upon this successful issue of
very hard fought struggle. The penalty for
robbing the mail is imprisonment for life.

THE CANDELARIA MINING CASE.

This case is to be tried by the Court and
not by a jury. This by stipulation of parties.
Yesterday the testimony of two experts for
the plaintiffs was taken. That presented by
Mr.. Reyes was of highly interesting charac
ter. Evidently he is a gentleman of much
culture in the inspection of mines, the theories
of the geologist and the ways and works of
practical metalurgist. 1t seems probable
that even In view of the vast horde OF wit
nesses and other interested Candelarians
present at this trial, the testimony will be ali
taken and the arguments of counsel conclud-
ed before the expiration of the present week.

| AU FAT PARTY. There will be most
| admirable and attractive feature introduced
at the Au Fait party which will take place on
next Friday evening. The executive COM
| mittee have concluded to make it ''boa- bon -
party And this is how it came about. A
short time since the bloods of Virginia con-
| Guided to give grand party, and at the sug-
gestion of few prominent young men of
that city, John w Mackey, Esq, wrote to
Paris for large assortment of full dress bon
bons. They arrived, but the Virginia bloods'
party did not come off, and the Partisan bon
b6,ss were sent to this city to be utilized at
the party on the evening of the 9th instant.
This feature is new and novel one here, and
will unquestionably be productive of much
pleasure and merriment.
MALICIOUS MISCHIEF evening some
malicious person (unknown) fixed piece of
iron in the "guides" of the locomotive engine
Genoa" at Virginia City just before the
starting of the train; and the result was that
as soon as the wheels moved the back cylinder
head was broken ia and the engine disabled
from further service. From our bright and
obliging young friend Chris Zabriskie, who
thoughtfully brought us this item, we learn
that the engine "Merrimac" was put on as a
substitute tor the disabled locomotive and
that the train was delayed but about fifteen
minutes in consequence of this piece of devil
ment
GONG TO LEAVE Us Mrs. H. G. Parker

train for Oakland, California, her

greatly miss this lady. Her many friends
trust that her new home will prove as at
tractive as she could wish, and that she may
always be surrounded by as many sincere
friends as she leaves here.

port to the careful perusal Of every
taxpayer in the county. From knowl-
edge in our possession, Outside of the
records, and which has been gained by
and through Official relations, we know
that the statement is correct.
The whole matter, touching the pro-
posed sale Of the county's stock in the
Wichita & Southwestern Railroad, af-
fects every property owner in the
county in proportion to his interest as
o taxpayer. and is q matter only and
purely of business judgment and dis
erection. The county Board of Com
missioners, assisted by others inter-
ested in the welfare of the county,
have spared time nor pains to gain all
the facts before making move, as
those who have becu cognizant of and
spent time in gathering information,
well know.

from all suspicion that the County
Commissioners have in the slightest
degree been derelict in their duty to
the people.

The authorities of Leavenworth city
and county, together with those OF
Douglas county, were brought before
the United States District Court last
week in Topeka, upon writ of man
damus, TO show cause why they had
refused to obey the order of tie court
in levying taxes to pay overdue inter
est upon outstanding bonds which had
been issued in aid of railroad cons;ruc-
ton and other improvements. The
court put each commissioner and coun-
Gilman under bond of $4,000 TO ap
pear at the next term Of cont. The
papers say the matter is q serious one,
but must be met. The court suggest
ed compromise between the munich
palities and the bondholders, but some
of the attorneys for the bondholders
are very stubborn. The case makes
up lesson that should be needed by
other counties.

Congress and the President.

Congress has been in session now
over one week, and there seems little
indication of legislative business. The
impression is general in political cir
cles that but little general legislation
outside of appropriations will be gone
into this winter, and that the people
will be relieved of all political excite
mcnt.
The comment on the President
message is varied, the Democrats be-
ing very indignant over his illusions
10 the want of good faith on the part
Of Southern Democrats. II Is very
evident from the tone of the papers,
and newspaper correspondents, that
there is better feeling among tie Re
publicans, and that the message has
done much TO unite factions. AL petty
differences of last year have disap-
pcarcd. That the Republican party
will elect its nominee in 1850 il no
longer question, let the candidate be
from the East or West.

4ih. This places the proceeds of the
sale at the option of the abstractor
of the bonds with not farthing of
indemnity to the county. An unpre-
cedentcd proceeding.
9th. The A., L. & S. f. are the par
ties now required to have the stock,
for which there are other competitors.
9th. The party now having it who'll
~ in his custody is now, aud has long
been, the faithful. humble servant OF
the A., I. & S. L. railroad.

The question Of transferring the In
dian Bureau from the Interior TO the
War Department has developed a live
IL fight between the Secretary of the
Interior and the army. II is question
that has long been mooted, and even
tried at one time. The House passed
n bill transferring the Indians to the
army, last winter. but il was defeated
in the Senate, and Conference Com
mittee to go over the whole question.
That committee is now ia session, and
Secretary Schurz has sent TO ii his
opinion in a report that rather lays IL
over the army pretcnsions. lie non
cnly shows how the army failed ia the
past, and how II committed greater
frauds than ever were committed
since but pretty clearly shows that
the Indians have never committed dep
relations except after the violation OF
treaties, which have always been brok
en- by the white man or his govern
mcn,. Sohurz is right, but we fear
the army will win.
