THE JUDICIAL CLAMOR.

We notice by several OF Cur Territorial
exchange that considerable stir ar d clanlo,
Is being made tor the disappointment OF
Hon. Il. n. Blake to the judicial position,
lie has filled daring tho past -four years
Having no lax TO grind'-no course OF
Justice to fear, nnr favo,s to ashland not
being aware Of any active or formidable
opposition to lis disappointment we have
not regarded tie movement as either neces-
sary or evincing tic best of taste. In our
opinion, an occupant of the bench. in order
to administer equal juctice to all, should
steer absolutely clear Of all cntanSling al
lianes. He should receive his appoint
ment on his individual merits, and especial
ly without the outside pressure of parties
or ciiIucs within the Judicial District in
which he is expected to preside. Conspic-
uous services in securing position for
another, in the natural course Of human
thought, carry with them, at least, an i'm
piled obligation and a man must be some
thing more than human TO administer im-
partial justice to all. at all times, places,
and under al! circumstances when laborin
under sense OF even an implied obliga-
ton to a certain few. We NAV be in
error, but in our way OF thinking, a local
demonstration or camor raised in the in
tercsts of any particular individual. or TO
undnly influence the appointing power in
his behalf. is a tacit acknowledgement OF
weakness and has Il greater tendency to
injure than benefit the aspirant tor judicial

that Oh Nov. eth, Sidney A. Grant, late OF
Cincinnati, and a. I. Wilder were arrest
ed for conducting a fraudulent scheme
through the mails under the name of the
Denver Land company and taken before
the United States commissioner. They
waived examination and were committed.
The scheme was PLANNED. in Cincinnati.
stereotype plates were prepared and al
ready had been inserted in 500 tirst-class
newspapers and periodicals in the North

came to Denver to secure land for the pl.r-
pose and bought nearly thousand acres
in the sand hills, forty miles north OF Dem
vcr, in another county, which was plated
and recorded as North Denver. Although

The fraud was discovered by the local
newspapers, and bitterly condemned by
the citizens. The postmasters reported to
the Department, and Nov. 9TH received Or
lers TO deliver 10 registered letters and
pay no money orders to Grant. The ar
rest was made by Special Agent IL. Hall.
Special Agent Furnay also asks the De-

There were two hundred men in the camp,
one hundred and fifty of whom would win
ter there. Many OF these had laid in a

sites were laid out adjoining each other,
called respectively, Belt and Hoover Cities.
Belt was the most favorable location and
would perhaps predominant. A town had
also been laid out some distance below.
called Yago. but no buildings had yet
been commenced. But little can be said rs
to the extent and richness of the mines.
Most of the miners are sangtIine. The
quartz looks very favorable. and specimens
showing free gold were exhibited. Some
five or six bars were sufficiently developed
to guarantee that they would pay from
wages uplfo I, n dollars per day. Mining on
Chese Hau Deen prosecuted viii Soou IL
suits until cold weather set in. Four or
five companies were running drains, but
bedrock had not been reached One drain
WAS down seventeen feet and had struck
gravel that would warrant the putting in
of flume, whether there was any pay
found on bedrock or not. A saw-mill
was said to be EN- route from the Yellow
stone, and some parties had also gone to
Benton for one. Mr.. Collins regards the
mines rs permanent beyond Il doubt, and
the Judith basin us the most beautiful and

TimLer Seizure.

Seattle, November ls.-A million feet OF
logs, recently seized on Molowish River
by the United States Special Agent of the
Interior Department, for being cut in vio-
latiOn OF the timber laws, were sold YES
te,Slay at private sale to the Port Gamble
mill for four dollars per thousand feet.
This is the first instance where such logs
have been sold here at market value, it
usually being the custom to sell at auction,
the buyers clubbing together and bidding
them in at nominal figures. This, and
several other seizures recently made here,
have the effect to put Il stop to the illicit
cutting OF timber. and general satisfaction
is expressed among timber men at the
result.

HOW THE PRESIDENT WEARS.

Whatever may be thought or said in re
gard to President Hayes title, it must b.
admitted that his administration is regard

the heavy Republican ground SWELL" Sc
visibly seen and felt during the recent cleo
'Ions, than all other influences combined
II the secret impulses which have gov
erncd patriotic and conscientious voters
could be made known, they would be found
to be more complimentary TO the Prcsi
dent than to the party he is said to repre-.
sent. 1T was remarked by an eXcellen,
Judge OF characters, soon after Hays in
augVation: The longer he remains in
the position, the better the American peo-
pie will like him." and it looks as though
the prediction was being fulfilled. No
greater compliment can be paid TO an oc-
cupant of the Presidential chair than The
almost unanimous voice Of the people to
the elteci that ''he wears well.' On this
subject an editorial in a recent number OF
the Pioneer Press pertinently says:
Scarcely enough has been said about
the admirable record for public cleanliness
and efficiency made by the administration
OF President Hayes. The luxury has not
been common enough of late years to be
ignored, now that we have it. Not only
has his term thus far been unstained by a
single scandal, but it has presented num-
Der of conspicuous and Unprecedented in
stances of the reverse. Instead of Great
ing mysterious deficiencies, the Secretary
Of the navy has saved million and Il hall
