The Court met last Monday
Hon. John Clegg presiding, moth
ing Of Importance was done on
that day, but what say we? the
most important, the first step to-
wards the holling Of the court
was taken, viz: the empannelline
Of the grand jury, and the charge
Of the judge to the same. The
grand jury is we'll composef with
a sturdy and Intelligent foreman
Martin Sarver. The charge Of
the Judge was full, comprehensive
and such as We had to expect
from an officer determined to see
the law vindica,ed in all particn'
lars. We hope that his charge
will be needed, if 80, and We doub1
it not, good will result to the coin
munity.

FABLE OF THE BEAR AND FOx.-A
Bear boosted of his love for man, say
ing tina. he never worried OF disturbed
him when dead. The Fox observed
with a emile, II should have thouht
more Of your profession if you never
ate him alive Moral: Better ave 4
man from dying, than save him when
dead. How true of man is that maxim
to this day. Men and women, here,
there, everywhere, deplore and lament
death-bed scenes, yet pay so little at
tention to each others welfare during
life. Ali tears after death, but no smiles
before. The health of wives and daugh
tiers is shattered, and their lives inn
perilled by some chronic female COM
plant, which is permitted to continue
uufil the whole constitution is broken
down. Don't procrastinate un il these
poor creatures are dead, bnt so to work
nou aud work continuously until they
are cured. DR.. Dromgoole's ENGLISH
FEMALE B1rTERs is the remedy. 1t is a
n~ver-failiag female regulator aud iron
tonic, acting promptly and pleasantly.

Judging from appearances, some
OF the newspapers fraternity have
struck q bonanza. Within the
past few weeks the Baton Rouge
Truth has doubled up. The Thlbo'
deaux Sentinel changed from a I.
col. folio, to u 5-col. quarto,--
while the Lake Charles Echo
which a few years ago was a lit.
tie 5.col. folio has put on a new
dress, and changed to q handsome
8 column paper chock full Of
reading matter. Success to you
all gentlemen, and when We get
in equally prosperous circumstan'
ces why we will follow your wor.
thy example.

The plea Of insanity in murder

The plea Of insanity in murder
cases is falling rapidly and most
deserved'y, in great disfavor in
our country ; eight times out Of
ten the plea is false. In Nilsson
ri, some two or three years ago 8
young mans father was killed by
a physician who through his at:
torney pleaded insanity and was
acquitted. He was sent to the ill.,
sane ASYLUM bnt recently was re.
leased and he return home when
he was met by the son of the mnr.
dered man, who shot killing him
instantly. The sy mpathies of the
of the whole community are with
the young man aud rightfully we
think.

We give the following extract
from the Philadelphia Ledger to
our readers and tho public geuer.
ally. It is worth reading espe.
cially on the eve Of q term Of
court:
Nor have grand jurles any
thing to do with the policy of a
law. It is sufficient for them that
there is a law. It can not be re.
pealed by the grand jury, nor can
its members allow their individual
concelts, or even their convictions,
to obstruct its enforcement. They
might just as we'll ignore a bill TO-:
the forgery Of. a national bank
note, on the supposed ground that
it was beyond the constitutional
power of Congress to charter a
bank, or a bill for larcenary, be-
cause they accepted Proudhon's
a~pothegm thatall property is theft.
They are not responsible for the
existence of the law and though as
citizens, they may disapprovs
its provisions, they can not, ae
|grand jurors, !icens. what it for
bids.
If the statute or the animus Of
the prosecution or the nature Of
the evidence is thought to be OBJ
]ecronable, the subject had better
be discussed in a public trial,
where such a discussion may be
productive Of some benefit rather
than be disposed of in a secret
room, and il Jurors have doubts as
to their duty, let them inquire
openly of the court aud not work
their own counsels in the work.
Where an offense is charged. is
sustained by credible testimony,
and a prima facie is made out. the
Jury violates the law by Ignoring
the bill.
Il is to be regretted that its
members. or some Of them, seem
sometimes to act as if they pos
sessed a sort Of general discretion
airy or dispensing power and could
do very much as they please. The
sooner they empty their heads OF
such a faIlacy the better will it be
for their credit. They have a dis
cretion, tits true. bnt, like that OF
q Judge, it is a regulated legal dis
Ecrotion. 70 disregard the settled
principles by which it should be
guided justly subjects their acts
to demonstrations. To do so
knowingly, is to be f~oresworn.'

"A LAMP THREE HUNDRED
YEARS OLD.-While engaged in
improving the ground around the
old Catholic church in Ysleta
some parties dug out of the ground
a large silver lamp. Investiga-
ton and research proved that ii
had been brought over to this
country from Spain about 1912
by C%ordovan, the we'll known
prospector and settler. The lamp
is Of the very finest of oliver and
very heavy and valuable. 1t was
sent to Sante Fe, New Mexico
where it was cleaned and burnish
ed and returned to the church, az
object of curiosity az we'll as q
valuable relic and ornament.
This church was constructed il
1880. under the auspices Of TIL

Mr.. EplroR.--I am glad to see

the telling sometime ago expressed
in your worthy sheet, that party
names had become full Of empti-
aess, is echoed back by many pa
pers in the State. Intelligent me n
feel and strongly feel that their
first duty is to their country and
are no longer disposed blindly to
bend the neck to party yoke. That
day is past, jait. They proclaim a,
that they will support those whose
abilities and pol tiea! integrity en-
title them to the stewardship Of
the peoples rights. I speak this,
not that / love my old party less,
but love my country more, satus
