Juror Longlcy's story.

Longley, tho fourth juror impaneled, in tell
ing the story Of the verdict, said ave were
not long in getting our verdict ready. We
were fifty minutes absent from tho courtroom.
and half an hour Of that time was taken mp In
reading the indictment. We took two ballots
On the first we stood eleven for conviction and
one blank. That was cast by the German, who
was little doubtful on one point, and wanted
to be instructed. He didn't understand the
instructions az to the question OF insanity thor
oughy. 1t only took moment to satisfy him.
and then, when ballot was taken, we were unan-
imous for conviction" He was asked If he bad
heard that the public were for time fearful
that one Of the jurors was going to hang the
jury. He said Yes, have heard that since
left the courtroom. We thought ourselves,
for while. that one man would stand out
against oil the Others but il was only for
time. We didn't express any opinions to each
other during the time, but think we ell knew
pretty we'll what the general feeling was"
Being asked to give some idea as to how
the eyents Of the trial Impressed tho jury,
parti cularly the Interruptions OF Guiteau and
the speeches, he said at was oil very
tedious. There was SO much that was gone
over and over again. The lawyers kept telling
us day after day, OF things we were tired Of
hearing. We didn't mind Guiteaus Interrupt
tons, and We understood that Judge Cox was
giving him liberty 60 not to have another
trial As to the speeches, think Judge Por-
tcr's impressed the jury the most but then
none OF the lawyers speeches had any infiu-
ence with US. We made up our minds from
the evidence and from the instructions. We
listened 10 5coville with interest. He did very
we'll, and stood up for Guiteau manfully but
he couldn't make anything out of the case.
Judge Cox's instructions were clear and to the
point. There was no installing them" Jongley
was ask, d what his personal opinion OF Guiteau
was. He replied II think he is q fanatic, but
he In morally responsible for his actions !

THEY BEGIN TO EXPRESS THEIR
VIEWS,

We regret very much the present
outlook for the admission of the north
ern counties of Idaho as rart of the
state of Washington, as we believe a
great injustice would he done the citi.
zens of that region should they be
compelled to remain in their present
isolated condition as respects their
territorial government. As far as any
practicable advantage they derive from
Idaho territory, they might as well be
connected with California, the means
of communication being as easy to that
State. There is much doubt, however
about the bill passing as amended OF
in any other way at present We hope
when it reaches the House it will Be
fayorably considered in its original
form and so pass, and together we may
enjoy the blessings of statehood W.
". Union.
The Olympia Transcript says: "With
out North Idaho the population OF
Washington is not great enough for a
State and that the Committees amend.
ment to Brents' bill gives the oppon-
ents of the bill an opportunity to de-
feat it. Considering the schemes laid
by certain politicians to run the mach,
inery of the State under that bill, it is
quite as well as it is, and perhaps just
as well to remain that way until We
can come in as two States Eastern
Washington and Western Washing
ton."
The Courier says: "The clause in.
GLIDING the three counties of Idaho in
the bill for admission of Washington
Territory, has been stricken out, and
with great injustice to those counties
and to this Territory, as the desire was
| almost unanimous in those counties and
this Territory that they should be in.
cluded. They belong to US by natural
division, were originally ours, and
should never have been separated from
us, as their social, business and politi
cal interests are in unison with ours,
and not so much SO with the rest ol
Idaho. The suspicion is generally en-
tertained that this action complained
of was covert blow at the life Of the
bill, as, without those counties, we dc
not possess the population that we will
be required to have prior to admission
To our mind the probabilities of ad
mission under two or three years are
| small indeed"
The Washington Independent says
at is shame that North Idaho is moi
included in the bill pending before
Congress to admit this Territory into
the Union. Is that part Of Idaho lief,

THE CASCADES

On the 18th of March, 1881, the
first work was done on the railroad to
connect Portland with The Dallex
Thursday evening, the last rail be-
tween the Cascades and The Dalles
was laid and a train passed over the
road yesterday. Regular passenger
and freight trains will be put on as
soon as the road Is ballasted. It il
conceded by all experienced men who
have seen the work. that no other rail
road in the United States presents ia
for'y-six continuous milcs---the dis,
tance between the two places named =
like engineering difficulties. Nearly
one fifth Of the line is made Of bridges,
and the remainder is through solid
rock. Its cost will not he far from
~, 100000. That it was mpleted
within year, reflects no little credit
on the enterprise of the Oregon Rail
way and Navigation Company and the
ability and energy Of the engineers and
superintendent of construction.

Buried In a Enowslide.

BoDIE, March 20.-Wednesday nigh,
a snow slide in Lake canyon buried
several men, four Of whom-Robcrt
Trumbull, Alex. McKeon and ID. B.
Grant, miners, and Henry Schumacher,
engineer-were killed. The bodies
were recovered, but a second slide buri-
ed them under forty feet of snow. Over
forty slides occurred in Lake and Mill
creek canyons between Wednesday and
Saturday, burying in all thirty.eight
persons. With the exception Of the
above named, the only one seriously
injured is Christian Hoblitzell, who
was buried for nineteen hours and is
likely to die from injuries. Heavy
storms have isolated Bodie for nearly
a week. The weather is now clear in
the mountains along the line of the
railroad, and the blockade will proba
bly, soon be broken.

ANTI -POLYGAMISTS ELATED

restraint. They now talk openly in
favor of new deal, and snap their
fingers in the faces of the old heads of
