THE inquiry by the State Senate com
mittee into the facts connected with the
paymen, Of $l0,O ,OOJ ont Of the State treas
ury to Simunton and Olms,ead, two Harris
burg lawyers, for receiving from railroad
corporation S191, 900 due the State, aud
paying it INFO the treasury, brought out
the ugly fact in the testimony Of Oimstead.
given ole day last week, that tho Attorney
General, George Lear, had received S5. OGO
from the corporation rs his per centage on
the claim which lie, the Auditor General
and the State Treasurer had authorized
Simouton and Olmstead to collect. This
whole business, from its inception to its
close, carries with it very discreditabIe
appearance, and Lcar's reception or this
s., coo fee looks very much like a swim die
upon the State. What had he done to en-
title him to it? Simply nothing lie
never collected dime Of the debt due the
State from the rail road and transportation
company, for the reason that he, Temple
and Rawle had made contract with the
two Harrisburg lawyers to do the work
They were paid ten per cent, or G10, ,000
for merely asking the company to pay it's
Indebtedness, receiving the amount aud
handing ii to the State Treasurer. War
den and Bayald, the two clerks in the
Auditor Generals Office who have figured
so conspicuously in this whole matter,
were just as much entitled to be paid for
their services Is Lear was for anything
that he had done. Lear swore before the
cent under an act Of Assembly, but he is
not, for that act contemplates the attorney
who collects the money, and as Lear didu' /
collect any his fee wac uuwarrauted and
cannot De justified.

THE CAMBRIA FREEniH.
EBENsBURc, Pa,
FRIDAY. MARCH 80. 1873

THERE was rei ,icing in the White iIous c
when the decision of the Louisiana SUI
preme Court discharcing Anderson from
prison was announced by telegraph, and
Mr.. Hayes is said 20 have expressed pecu-
lar qualification with the action Of the
Court, applau.ling it as patriotic and in the
iutercst of couciliation. If Hayes believes
that the 4 .cision Of the Court. which rested
sutirely ON technical grounds, and not on
the Jnct 7f Auderson's guilt, will reconcile
the people Of Louisiana 70 the base fraud
perpetratcd upon them Ay the Returning
Board, perhaps he will attempt to cono;ii-
ate them still further, either by continuing
Anderson in mis- present position as Deputy
Collector OF the port Of New Orleans, or
insult the Senate by nominating him to the
culloctorship itself which is now vacant,
aud of which tho virtuous Packard has been
50 long eudeavoriHg to get possession.
The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1878-03-29

The Attorney General Of Louisiana, Mr..
Ogden, has filed an application with the
Supreme Court asking for a reargument in
the case Of Anderson, and expresses his
belief that he can convince the Court that
Anderson was properly convicted. and that
the Court erred in discharging him. Mr..
Ogden deserves and will receive fun credit
for his zeal in endeavorng to bring tho
Returning Board scoundrels to Justice, but
Ie viii fail in his effort to get the Supreme
Court to reverse It's former decision The
truth is, ahd it need not be disguised. that
the leading Democrats in Louisiana, from
Governor Nicholls down, are satisfied with
the present state Of things, and although
they know that Tilden carried the State,
they also know that Hayes will serve out
his term. They have enjoyed peace and
quiet since the military wore removed from
amongst them, and they earnestly wish that
nothing may happen that will bring baci,
the turmoil aud bitterness OF other days.
Tho Supreme Court is in sympathy with
this feeling, otherwise Anderson, inst cad
OF escaping punishment on n legal techui-
calty. would be serying out his two years
sentence III the peuitcHtiary.

A company has been organized, under
the name of the Truckee G. IL S. M.
CO., to work the National mine at
Knoxville. This mine was one of the
first discovered and worked in this
county. In early days several tons of
the ore was sent to Virginia City, where
it yielded $l65 per ton in gold. Sub
sequently the mine was leased to a
company, which, with small. home
made mill, made wages by working the
groupings. A tunnel was started to cut
the ledge at depth of several hundred
feet. and the new company propose to
run this tunnel to the lead, distance
it is supposed. of $50 feet, and will re-
ceive proposals for doing the work
until the 10th instant. The ledge is

Congress to courts Of justices Of the
peace.
1t seems that the Legislature of the
Territory Of Idaho recognized the ex-
tent and limit Of its authority when
they enacted the charter for the city of
Lewiston, the tenth Section of which
provides as follows: 1.-The recorder, ex.
oficio, shall be Justice of the Peace,
and shall, within the limits of said city,
be vested with all the authority and jur.
isdiction Of the justices of the peace OF
counties, and be subject to the same
duties and liabilities, except as otherwise
provided by this act; and shall receive
the same fees for his services. The re.
corder shall also, as such Justice of the
Peace, have and entertain jurisdiction
for the violation of the ordinances and by
laws Of said city, where the amount
claimed doe, not exceed one hundred
dollars" Here there is no attempt Of
the legislature to establish any other
than justice of the peace court, which
is fully authorized by the organic acts
of all the Territories in express terms,
except that Of Arizona, aud in this it is
implied. The Idaho Legislature makes
by express act, the person elected re-
corder OF the city of Lewiston, also de
facto Justice Of the Peace, and in no
sense gives or attempts to give him jur-
isdiction AS recorder to exercise the
functions Of court, not even in the
trial Of cases under city ordinances. His
judicial functions are all those Of Jus
tice of the peace, which the Legislature
had full and ample authority to confer
upon him by virtue Of his election. Aside
from the law in the case which we think
We have clearly shown, it would be SUBJ
versive of public policy at this late day
ofour city government tothrow doubt up
on the validity of the acts and decisions
Of our recorders as such justices of the
peace, who have both fined and impris.
oncd men acting in that capacity. 1t
would invite prosecutions for false inn
prisonment for the recovery of fues
and costs, and damages. Portland and
other cities Of Oregon acted for years
under the same provision in regard to
courts when Oregon was a Territory,
and the authority Of the recorders Of
those cities Us justices of the peace was
fully recognized and the decisions of
their courts sustained by the higher
courts, and appeals were taken from
them to the district courts, as from all
other justices courts, aud were enter
tanned as properly taken.
