ANOTHER sEDEcER EscAPEs.

The case Of the State of Oregon vs..
w. F. Rayburn, for the seduction of a
young woman, which was tried at Cor
Wallis last December, before the Circuit
Court of the Second District, and which
resulted in hung jury, eleven for con
viction and one for acquittal, "has been
disposed of in manner that reflects
very little credit upon the laws of our
young State" The quotation is the
language used by "W. f." the travel
ing correspondent of the Standard, who
furnishes tho following history of the
proceedings
At the November term Of Court,
Prosecuting Attorney Hazard moved
the Court to increase the bonds of the
defendant, to insure his appearance at
this (April) term, from two hundred to
Eve hundred dollars. The Court de-
MED the motion, and fixed the 18th day
of April for new trial. The defend
ant has decamped-gone where the
woodbine twineth-and the bondsmcn
will but too gladly "come down" with
the paltry sum of 5000, while the poor
wronged, homeless, friendIess orphan
girl will receive no redress for the har-
rowing and irreparable grievance. That
Judge Watson made sad mistake in
not causing the defendant to give bonds
for his aDDearance. not only In the sum
of Eve hundred dollars, but five thou
sand, is fact to be admitted and de-
nlored.

TIE SEW yoRk DRMoCRACY.

On the goth inst. two Democratic
State Conventions were held at SYRIA
cuse, N. Y, and no plan could be adopt
ed which would secure unity of action.
Tilden and his friends had control of
the regular organization, but Kelly and
his faction organized another convention
with Amasa J. Parker as Chairman.
Each convention selected delegates to
the National Convention and candidates
for electors.

TribuIation sits grimly upon every
Democratic visage. The Republican
nominations did it.-Bee.
Please give Us little more ligat
on this matter. Be particular ana let
us know which Of the nominations
made by the Republicans have caused
tribplation 10 sit grimly on every
Democratic visagc.
, Was IT that Of n. G. George for
Congress- It cannot be him, for our
people have no fears OF his election.
Hon. John Whiteaker Is doing ex-
cellent work for us, and the people
can ste no necessity for giving George
his seat.
Was It that Of Z. B. Watson for
the Supreme bench? He was adj
mitted to the bar ten years ago, and
for about only four years since that
time has he practiced in our courts.
lie Is at present the clerk OF Jackson
county. Ought such a record as that
for Republican candidate for sa-
preme Judge cause much ribuiasion
I'm the Democratic camp?
Do you refer to fbe nomination OF
J. i. Waldo for Supreme Judge 2
lie is a second rate lawyer, and about
all the experience be has had in max
ing Judicial decisions was acquired
while he vas Justice Of the Peace at
Portland. Litigants viii Of course
feel perfectly secure in taking ap-
pcated cases before Court having
such a large experience.
There's Mayor Lord; probably you
refer TO him. Well, he is a bright
lawyer nobody will deny that fact.
But he las had the misfortune TO lose
his hearing which almost unfis him
for the position FOR which he Is nos,,-
mated.
Probably you refer to Judge Boise's
nomination for Judge in this dis-
trict. Yes, we are very much afraid
Of him. Our people ike such pure
and spotless men, who never soil fhe
judicial ermine by engaging in poll
tics. And then he is not bit proud.
lie wanted the nomination f.r Su-
preme Judge, but when ne was beat
en- for that position he mounted his
horse and went into the country 10
keep from refusing the nomination
for District Judge, for which Office
he had solemnly promised not to run.
We suppose If the convention had
not seen fit to give him that he would
have gracefully accepted the nomiaa-
ton for Justice OF the Peace in some
country precinct.
And then there are those nomina-
lions for Presidential Electors. You
no doubt refer to them. There's
'Lish AppIegatc; our readers are
somewhat acquainted with this gem
ueman. His nomination causes
something to sit grimlys upon the vis-
ages of Democrats up this way, bat
that ttsomething'' is more OF IA smile
than tribnIaiion. He is the ssman OF
theories" lecturer on 'sghosts,"
the Usage OF YoncoIls," the "Green-
back APOSTLE" and all that, but he
Will never be a Presidential EIector.

The Mixed Population Of New Mexico

THE Mexicans and the Indians seem
TO be about equally numerous in the por-
ton of the valley through which passed
to reach this place. The two principal
Indian towns are Santo Domingo and
San Felipe, q pueblo about one-half the
size Of the former. The Mexican towns
north Of Albuquerque, on the railroad,
after 1t strikes the river, are Algodones
and Bernalillo. The trains run along
the edge Of San Felipe, and we caught a
glimpse of the town as we passed. II
has become Mexicanized In a great de-
greei that is, instead Of being one jum-
bl0d mass of houses built against and on
top Of each other, 1t has plaza, a church
and some streets. The houses are also
generally entered through doors in the
sides instead Of by means of holes in the
top, but nearly every one has ladder
leaning against II and the top Of the
house seems to be the favorite place of
resort. saw none of the Indians dressed
in European costumes, although there
was an approach to it in some cases, for
men and women were working in the
fields wearing very broad trousers, with
the upper part of the body covered with
s shirt-shaped blouse, both garments
being made Of coarse white cotton cloth.
l have not seen q Pueblo Indian wearing
q hat, although this is the first article 81
civilized attire TO which the wild Indian
seems TO take kindly. ll
The Indian children are an interest

soantily dressed, the only garment that

Smaller children were frequently seen
without stitch Of clothing. The wealth
Of straight black hair with which mostof
the young PuebloS are blessed is some
thing wonderful. It is changed" In

passage Of q railway train has not ceased
TO be q novelty TO them, and At San fe-
hpe dozen or more of them were gath

the railroad, jumping about and shout
ing like the little saYages that they are,
and throwing stones at the passing cars.
Some Of the Pueblo Indians In the
Rio Grande Valley have moved out Of
the towns and live on their little farIhs.
Their adobe houses are very small and
mean-looking, and some Of them sp-
parently have no doors or windows.
Frequently five or SIX persons, old and
young, would be eongregated on the top
Of one Of them, and look 90 crowded

must be pushed of II any other one

rude awnings, made of Poles and bOughs

What BrOekway, the FOrser, Gave up to
Secure His Own Release.

A NEW YORK special Of the LIST says:
The mystery about the release Of William
Brockway, the foFger, by the United States
authorities, was cleared up to-day. Last week
Brockway pleaded guilty 10 the charge of for
gerry, before Judge Benedict, in the United
States Circuit Court, and was subsequently
released on his own reoOgnizanoe, although
the latter fact was. for some unexplained re0-
son, denied by the Secret Service officials, both
in Washington and In this city. 1t was well
understood that Brockway had made some
restitution, but what its precise nature was was
withheld until to-day. Broekway has surren-
dered all the plates, twenty-five in number,
from which counterfeit notes and bonds were
printed. He has also given up S45l 900 In coun-
terfeit 800 bank notes on various banks and
800 or 400 sheets of fiber paper, and he has
furnished information which II is believed
win be Of great value TO the Govern.
ment. The material surrendered was all
displayed I'm the District Attorneys
Office to-day. The counterfeit plates shown
were three for hank notes, two Of them for a
Pittsburgh bank and the other Tor Wilkes
barre bank bills. Then there were four plates
for the border OF the notes. each bearing the
ooat-of-arms of different States. There were
also splendid plates for the back of notes.
Plates and number and seal of notes com,
pleted the outfit for 800 notes. Next, the
counterfeit plates for United States six per
cent. 1881 bonds we're shown. and with them a
bond seal of the Treasury Department en-.
graved on copper, and bond seal Of the loan
division In electrotype. The type with which
the numbers were printed on the bonds was
also displayed. Plates for the back aud Dor.
der Of the $40 bond coupons were also shown,
but they had never been used.
Last Thursday Brookway, accompanied by
several United States officers, went TO Jamaica,
l., l., and drove TO the woods near Richmond
Hill. Brookway conducted the party into the
woods, and although the ground was covered
with snow, soon directed the officers where to
dig for the plates. The bond plates were first
dug up. They were done up In tin-foil, and
were covered with Rsphaltum. Next &l5,TnO In
500 bills was found. The package was sealed
up in glass pickle jar The banlz-note plates
were found near the same spot. They were
protected by asphaltum. In another place
$4,000 was found inolOsed in piece of lead
pipe. The iber paper was found done up in
tin-foil, and scaled In q lead case.
In addition Brookway has made a clean
breast OF his connection with the forgers. He
has told where the fiber paper, which was sup
posed TO have been stolen from the Govern.
ment, was manufactured. He has also given
the authorities q number Of letters, among
them several from William p. Wood, ex-Chiei
Of the Secret Service Department, which are
said 70 be important The forged paper was
printed by Charles II. Smith, and the electro
typing was done by Drookway. Doyle, who
was arrested in Chicago, disposed of the
