THE new placers, twenty miles above Aubrey, are still attracting much atten- tion. Finkler and Snyder took a dry washing machine up there, and made S35O in four days. When the Gila left Aubrey Finkler was there, and is reported to have said that he and Snyder, being the only Americans at the placers, had been driven out by the Mexican miners, who were ar irving in great numbers, and who seemed to think the mdehine was cleaning up more than It's owners share of the gold. We give Mexicans so much credit for good sense, that we are loath to believe they would be so foolish. But the "sand- lot" business seems to have set prece- dent for one class of people 10 be driven out of fields of labor by another class who may happen to be on the ground in strong est force. When the rule gets to working both ways we don't like it.

The Prosch Libel.

We publish to-day the decision
of Judge Lewis in the case Of
The Territory VS.. Thomas W.
Prosch, on the motion of defend
ants Attorneys to stay proceed
ings. From this it will be seen
that the Statutes of this Terri
tory, while defining Libel as a
criminal offence, repealed the
clause fixing the measure ofpun-
ishment, and the Court sustain
ed the motion to stay proceed
ings upon the express grounds
that as no Judgment could be
entered upoa a conviction, trial
would be useless. Mr.. White,
the Prosecuting Attorney, gave
notice of appeal, on the ground
that the offence charged was a
crime at common law, and the
common law remedy could be
enforced in the absence Of stat
ute law.
We are informed and believe
that the repeal of the penalty
clause of the libel law was lob
bied through the Legislature by
publishers of newspapers whose
vocation is libelling their neigh
bors, chief among whom is w.
H. Newell, Of the Walla Walla
Statesman, and the same parties
have actively and successfully
opposed any re-enactment of the
wholesome restraint upon the
practice of the most dastardly
crime that can be perpetrated
upon any citizen, entering as it
does into the social relations and
stabblng like a dagger the inno-
cent members of the domestic
circle. Where the malicious and
irresponsible slanderer has not
the fear of the law before his
eyes, and while newspapers are
supported by the community
whose editors live by defama-
tion, what public man and those

The way to Get Circulation.

A bedrock Democrat in Jetfer-
son county, on coming home with
his mail matter, threw one of
his newspapers into the fire with
the emphatic declaration: II
will not permit that dirty paper
to be read in my house, and the
first time l go to Port Townsend
l will ordered it stepped" "No
you WON'T" demonstrated his
more prudent wife. 81 would
gladly have it's whole edition
burned, every week; but you
know, dear, that if you order it
discontinued, they will say mean
things about you, and for the
price Of dozen papers l would
not have you made the subject
of a scurrilous newspaper arti-
cle." The reasoning was con-
elusive; the paper was not dis
continued, but is consigned to
flames as too vile q thing for
home reading.
That is not the only paper
that is forced upon unwilling
and disgusted subscribers and
advertisers by the same means.
One publisher we wot of has been
frequently heard to declare: GA
newspaper never loses anything
by. making itself feared by bust
ness men; we have the drop on
them, and they dare not go back
on u.s." Another self-gratulato-
~ expression of the black-mail-
ers is: "There is no law for the
punishment of libel in Washing
ton Territory" We know many
instances in which business men
have been constrained by pru-
Dental considerations to pay tri-
butte to that class of free-bOOters
to purchase immunity from dam
aging statements in relation to
their business affairs. Such de-
vices can only succeed for lim-
tied period. Newspapers con-
Quoted on that principle will
soon exhaust their influence for
either good or evil, and with it
their power of intimidation.

The executors Of the estate of
Horace Greeley have made their
final settlement. The estate con-
sisted largely of stocks and
bonds that have greatly depre-
ciated in value, and the execu-
tors have deemed it advisable to
distribute them among the heirs.
There are S163,000 Of such as
sets, inclusive of Tribune stock,
that was once valued at 100000.
1t seems to have been the pur-
pose Of the executors to convert
only as much of the estate into
money as was necessary for the
payment Of the legacies left by
Mr.. Greeley to his sisters. Among
the assets there are at least
$50, 900 of worthless promisscry
notes, in addition to the S49, 900
due the estate from Cornelius }.
Vanderbilt.

Of the House Railroad Commit

report in favor Of the extension
of time on the land grant to the
N. P. r. R., providing for the
construction OF the road On the

for any other road in Washing

Ables is an old man and had a

one Dodson, and Ables hired
Lane to help him search for
them. The two men went to-
gether with one horse (Lane's)
and took turns in riding. They
travelled up Sugar creek togeth-
cr, aud when at a lonely spot
near Granny's branch Ables shot
Lane. The body was found by
horse hunters next day. Ablcs

on the pursuit of his wife and
her paramour. He was tried for
the murder nearly two years ago

New HAVEN, Jan. 21.-The
suicide of Grove Camp of Bir-
mingham is the talk of the coun-
ty, throughout which he is well
known. For the past week or
so he has been acting strangely,
the burden Of his cry being that
he knew he was a bankrupt, and
that he was sure his wife and
himself would be turned out OF
doors to beg or starve in their
old age. He had all that any
reasonable man could desire.
His house, on one of the pleas
antest streets in Birmingham,
was as handsome a country res
idence as one could desire. Back
of it was a large and substantl-
ally constructed barn. He own
ed carriages, horses and houses,
and better than all, had a faith
full and loving wife, the daugh-
ter of Alfred Todd, well known
New Haven resident.
He was shaving himself yes
terday, and of a sudden walked
out into the barn, razor in hand.
His wife soon afterward heard
a noise there and hurried out,
and up to the upper floor. AS
she reached the top Of the stairs
she was met by her husband
with outstretched arms, and his
throat horribly gashed, who ex-
claimed, II have done it," and
clasping her to his bosom, both
fell together over the hay NOW.
The screams of the wife soon
brought to the scene one of the
neighbors, who Immediately
went for medical assistance. T.
B. Jewett, a young medical stu
dent, was the first to arrive. The
scene that greeted his vision was
terrible. The wife was sitting
upon the floor absolutely cover
ed with blood, with her husbands
head pressed frantically to her
bosom, begging and implorlng
him to look at her-to speak to
her once more. But he was past
all that, though he seemed to
recognize the doctor and others.
He lived only one hour.
The inquest brought out the
fact that the suicide was most
deliberately planned. One deep
cash with the razor had cut his
throat from ear to ear, and was
undoubtedly the cause of death,
severing as it did the carotid ar
terry on the left side. But before
inflicting this wound he had cut
the thyroid cartilage three times,
besides making two deep incis-
ions in the left side Of his neck.
On the floor near him was lying
a small bottle, half full of tine
ture of aconite, and the physi-
clans gave it as their opinion
that he had taken enough of it
before using the razor to pro-
duce death.
ALI of the witnesses at the
inquest averred that he had been
acting very strangely of Tate,
haunted by a dread fear that
his few creditors would come
down on him and take all he
had. Nothing could reason him
out of this, though friends clear
ly showed him that he had
enough and plenty.

The Law Of Libel.

The Grand Jury this morning
presented to the Court q true
bill of Indictment against Thom-
as w. Prosch, editor of the Iri-
June, for a malicious libel upon
the senior editor of this paper,
and the Prosecuting Attorney
was met by the Court with the
statement that inasmuch as the
Statutes of the Territory, while
defining the offence, had pre-
scribed no remedy or measure Of
punishment for the crime; hence
a trial would only be "for gran
deur," involving a large expense
to the county without any prac
tical result. This, according to
the construction of the Court,
reverses the common law maxim
that "there is no wrong without
a remedy" and leaves the most
valued portion of every citizens
possessions-his private charac-
ter-at the mercy of any mall
cious and irresponsible scoundrel
who may choose to assail it. No
public investigation, no judicial
vindication involving public ex-
pense, no verdict Of a jury of his
peers, guaranteed for the pro-
lection Of the rights Of every
citizen, can be had, because the
laws fail to specifically prescribe
penalty to the criminal. Does
his Honor mean to be understood
as referring the matter to the
arbitrament Of force, with the
bludgeon or the bullet as the Oh
ly redress for wrongs beyond
human endurance? Such is The
inevitable conclusion; f.lr no man
of ordinary sensibility can reas-
onbly be expected to regard laws
which afford no protection to his
most sacred rights, or fail to
avenge one Of the most deadly
wrongs which can be offered to
an honorable man, when neither
the law or the Courts afford him
any redress.
In this libel, put in print and
spread broadcast over the land,
we were specifically charged
with dastardly felony, no less
than forgery committed in the
name Of the Chief Justice, now
presiding in this Court, accom-
panied by the positive statement
that the forgery was in our hand
writing, and in construction and
punctuation bore indubita5le
proofs of being our composition; J.;
that the Court, the bar and the
Grand Jury who Investigated the
forgery, all believed us guilty of
the crime, and that we stood be-
fore this community convicted
felon, escaping the penitentiary
only by failure of legal testimo-
ny. The Grand Jury gave to
the Investigation of this afro
clous libel a patient and thorough
investigation, extending through
two days, during which a score of
witnesses, including the Judge,
the members of the bar and 9th
ers were examined, without eli
citing single fact or expression
in support or justification OF the
infamous charges; and the in
dictment was found accordingly.
Now all that we ask is an open
trial and a verdict by a jury as
to the truth or falsity Of these
charges. That the law allows.
Any thing less than that we
should deem cruel trifling with
the most sacred private rights
ON the score of public economy.
We would not desire a greater
punishment for our most vindic-
tive enemy than the verdict of a

Nathaniel v. Simpson, St. Louis

strai:ened circumstances. On every ans
niversary of his marriage he and his

determined that the custom should be
observed in spite of poverty. He set
about procuring the luxuries for the
table, but found that he had already
exhausted his ability to obtain money
from his friends or credit in the stores.
Made respondent by this unpleasant
evidence of fallen fortunes, he put
bullet through his heart.
