A RIGHTEOUS ACTION.

Such do we term the action of the people on last Wednesday morning. They organized, escorted their men before regular justice of the peace, gave them fair hearing, in which the men only furnished additional proofs of their guilt, recovered the stolen treasure, and then, in orderly ranks, took the confessed and con- victsd murderers, and hanged them. That there was no unreasoning mob in the affair is shown in the fact that in the prison from which Grimes and Hawlev were taken there were sev- eral horse thieves and other crlmin- als held for serious crimes, these men were unharmed; were left to be pun ished oy the law. Their vengeance was directed against none save the Gends who now, with their victims lie upon the silent hillside. Our best citizens, our foremost residents, par ticipated in the movement, and our entire population approved of tt.
 "But," some of our readers may | say, "would not the law infict a suffi
 oient punishment" X might, but the case is dubious. Law is popu, | larly supposed to be the path of Justice, but it is infested by high waymen, so that if Justice takes that devious road, there are many chances that she will be robbed of her pris- oner.
 The cases would havo been brought before the District Court, been post poned a term or so, until the most l important prosecuting witnesses had left the country, until public feeling over the a;rocity of the crime had been smoothed down by the hand of Time, and would then have been brought before a jury necessarily knowing but little of the deed; an eloquent attorney would feelingly address the jury in behalf of the prisoners, would confuse the oppos' ing witnesses with fire of questions, and the case would be likely to end in sentences of ten years or so being inflicted. None can deny this, and
 now we ask: Which is preferable
 swift retribution or slow and doubt
 full punishment in the dim future!
 In minor cases these "legal" actions
 are always submitted to by the
 people, but in crimes as black as
 those perpetrated last Sunday, mod
 eratlon finds no place in the breast ot
 any honest citizen, and it is with g
 fierce joy that he assists the assassins
 upon their journey to eternity GGlobe Chronicle.

Before the Ballot,

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 1.-Estee, in his speech before the ballot unreser- vedly endorsed the platform, and scored the railroad company in the most vigorous manner. He said they were a menace to the liberties of the people, to commercial freedom aad eqnal distribution of government. He had made no promises, had not spent dollar to secure the nomina. tion, and would not do it to secure his election. He pledged himself to faithful performance of duty. Mayor Blake, speaking before the ballot, approved of .he platform in its entirety; believed the people needed protection moro than corpora. tions; had no intimacy with railroad management and had received no favors from them would make no pledges except to the convention and to the people. Referred to his public record as his best claim to the nomination. Russ said he was not an orator, and would not infict speech on the conven- tion. He was pledged to no one, and endorsed every word of the plat form. Shafter spoke at some length in an amnsing style, saying that about two thousand persons had told him he had ought to be Governor and United States Senator, but they had never voted for him. The eonvcn- tion then proceeded to ballot. Estee, after the nomination, oontented him. self with thanking the convention at some length, and saying that he had no enmity against any one and be- lieved the campaign would be suc- cessful one.
 SACRAMENTO, Sept l.-Before 'the' vote was announced Colusa changed two for Estee, Modoc from Russ to Estee, San Diego three votes from Russ to Estee, Butte one from Shafter to Estee, Del Norte from Russ to Estee, Humboldt from Russ to Estee, Merccd one vote from Blake to EStee

Guiteau's Skeleton |.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-GuiteauAs s skeleton is now at the National Army Medical Museum in this city, but will not be exhibited to tae pub lie. Its fnal disposition has not yet been determined upon, and can not be until Judge Haynes decides on the validity of Guiteau's will, in which he beq"eathed his body to Dr. Hicks. Experts engaged in making a micro- scopic examination of Guiteau's brain have completed their work. It is understood they already disagree in their conclusions respecting his san ity, and there will be probably be two reports rendered.
Tombstone weekly epitaph., 1882-09-02

A GOOD deal of attention has been aroused over tho value of oaths in legislatures and courts by the Brad laugh case in England and other events emphasizing what has been for some time a growing feeling in regard to the validity of such pre-. caution against falsehood and un- faithfulness. In the current number of the North American Review, Judge Edward A. Thomas discusses the subject in the light of practical experience. In his judgment the oath should be entirely dispensed with, as doing more harm than good. He declares that the conscientious man will tell the truth, when legally called upon to do so, as thoroughly without oath as with it; and that dis honest persons are seldom restrained by the utmost solemnity of form. In short, he believes that the oath has lost Its force as 8 restraint, and is merely the formula of an exploded superstition. This will hardly be the conclusion of those who attend the courts, and it cannot be honestly said that there is not a considerable class who are influenced by It to the de. gree of telling the truth, when other- wise they would not. That its force is neither so strong nor universal as it used to be is also evident, and where criminals or interested parties are testifying in their own behalf, it is little more than mockery. AS a theoretical it would be we'll if re- ligious superstition were not dragged in to the support of honesty, but as a practice it will probably be continued as long as there is faith in its eff cacy. The multiplicity of oaths, ho wever, might be diminished in this country, as is being done in Europe, without harm to the force of law and
 improvement to the sentiment of re- ligious reverence, which is unques. tionably harmed by their use on frivolous and unmeaning occasions, in which they are given and taken as a mere matter of form.

ny of party support.

WHEN the Democratic County Convention meets, much care should be exercised in the appointment of the committee on credentials, as it may be called upon to decide dis puted representation from various precincts. Testimony as to alleged fraud may have to be taken, requir- ing time and good judgment. It is to be hoped that there may be perfect harmony, and there are no good reasons why there should not be. A fair ballot is all that is required.

IT is to be hoped that the Den O. crats of the county will select dele- gates to the convention whose SC le aim and ambition will be to nominate candidates who can draw out full party vote. This can only be dcne by nominating men for the different offices whose ability to discharge the functions pertaining thereto is un- questionable. There is not doubt but that the county of Cochi,e is Democratic by handsome majority, and it devolves on the convention to place candidates before the people worthy of party support.

A ROMAN Catholic Bishon at Three

A ROMAN Catholic Bishop at Three Rivers, Canada, has issued pasto- ral against bangs and frizzes on the part of the females of his flock on pam of communication. And not long ago, females were banished from the choir by the same austere func- tionary. This is carrying things with a high hand. The bishops in the Roman Catholic Church lay down the law, but it is safe to say that in matters of taste, ladies shonld be left to judge for themselves. The fashions are always changing, not only in dress, but in the arrangement of the hair and the wearing of orna. merts, and even the church may find it is stretching its authority too far when it commands ladies to abjure those little habits and modes which good society prescribes. While we are all willing to admit that the wear ing of bangs exhibits detestable taste on the part of ladies, still they should be allowed to regulate their own personal adornment without suggestion or command from priest or prelate.

AGAIN the Indian question is com ing home to roost. The slaughter of industrious settlers in the Sonoita and Santa Cruz valleys, chronicled in our news columns yesterday, is sufficient to make ones blood run cold. The government, if not actu- ally, is certainly indirectly respon- sible for the lives and property thus sacrificed. The temporizing policy of the government has done more to encourage Indian outbreaks than even tine tameless blood that flows in the aborigines' veins. Eastern sen- timentalists and Sunday-school pro- fessors have dictated the Indian policy of the government, instead of the western pioneer, who is compe- tent to judge of the Indian character by practical experience. Just as long as the present Indian policy is ad- hercd to, the lives of settlers will be at stake, and their hard earned aocumulations a prey for Apae he rapacity.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 30.-At Sacramento the Republican State Convention was called to order at 3 p. m. by w. w. Morrow, chairman or the State Central Committee.

There had been no po- litical party in all history that had accomplished so much for justice, so much for humanity and so much for freedom as the Republican party had accomplished by enlightened law during the past twenty-seven years, But the party could not live on its tradition; it must drink anew of the original fountain of its inspiration, We must meet new questions with the old courage.
 James A. Orr, of Plumas, was elected temporary secretary.
