call, Mr.. G.. i. Graham, chairman OF the
county democratic committee, called Il large
meeting of voters to order. Mr.. "A. L.
Douglas was chosen chairman, and James
E. Clements secretary. Messrs. Robert IL.
Eeitch and Willard +. Birch were chosen as
delegate and alternate, respectively, to the
Congressional nominating convention 10 be
held to-morrow in this city.
Quite a spirited discussion upon county
matters and upon the issues of the coming
presidential campaign was had, and Tues
day evening, the 26th of August, was desig-
mated as the time, and Walker school house
the place Of holding a general mass meet
ing, and for the organizing of a campaign
club. A resolution inviting the Hon. John
S. Barbour to address the meeting on that
occasion was adopted. 1t was freely ex-
pressed by many that should Mr. Barbour
find time from his many duties to he pres
ent at the proposed meeting, it would be the
largest political demonstration ever held
in the county.
On A TRAMP Messrs. AL. Gibson aud
VIM. Purvis, two Of the three members of
the Ideal Pedestrian club Of this city, left
here early yesterday morning on foot for
tramp to Charlestown, w. Va They were
gotten up in gorgeous array, white helmets,
blue shirts, knee breeches, long stockings,
broad tread shoes and Alpine Stalls and
arrived ut I.eesburg in thirteen hours, hav-
ing rested three ut Dranesville. Their fast
time is accounted for from the fact that they
were requested to move on" by the resi-
dents along the road. They write home
saying that they were saluted as dudes,
cranks, &c, By the children whom they
met and it is probable they will ride home.
Mr. Willie Wheat, the other member of the
club, after making preparations to accom-
pany the others decided at the last hour not
to do so.

before Judge Rives, of the District Court

the motion to continue the suit Of the

Thomas Wren, assisted by A. +, Cheney,

other for a half ncre--neither could be
allowed; that the mill site must be in

CHANDLER AND HENDRICKS.

Gov. Hendricks has plunged head
long into politics since his nomination
for Vice Presidency, and has succeeded
In stirring up lively exchange Of lst-
tiers with Secretary Chamber. It was
early In the season for the war to open,
and both parties appear to be eager for
the skirmish.
We do not understand Hendricks to
have made personal attack on the Ma
val department or It's head in his Indi-
ana speach, but rather as to its methods
as illustrative OF the business conduct OF
all tie departments, and the necessity
for IN overbnnIing Of the public nc
counts. Chandler evidently did not
like tho idca Of being publicly point
ed ut as n fearful example. lie was in
the right to clear his skirts OF all re-
sponsibility rs fur Ms possible; but
Hendricks has rather the best OF the ar
gument In his reply II maks no diff
ference whether "Wnles was as mnch Of
Democrat ns anything else" or not, II
this deialcation OF sea, 900 had remained
undetected under two Secretaries 10
much the worse. Chandler WIS proba-
bly, honest In believing that the bu-
reau was all correct; but everyone NC

justified on the suspicion that every
thing has not always been ''as straight

probably no better nor worse than the
remainder. The manner in which the
official affairs OF Idaho, us insignificant
they have been. in their relation to the
nutho tiles, have often been, to say the
least. very queer. When the immense in.
terests brought before the departments
| from the entire country are considered
| II will astonish none IL many wonderful
discoveries are made. Personal virtues
are not limited to any particular party
and very possibly they will not be fount
any stronger in those who may hereaf-
ter unearth old iniquities among tn
old records than those guilty of them.

JUDGE ROSEBOROUGH'S MEMOIR
ANDUM.

We have no disposition to unjustly
criticize the action of any court or any
officer; but In looking over the order Of
Judge Brodcrick in the matter of Judge
Roseborough's memorandum 1t appears
somewhat remarkable.
The special District Attorney casks
tho Court to submit to subsequent
grand Jury for further investigation
the following matters considered by the
present grand jury" Then follows
list OF the charges against the Assessor
and Collector, Sheriff, and the District
Attorney for cxtortion; Of misconduct
IN ONCE of the County Commissioners;
OF malfcasance and corruption IN the
management OF the County hospital, the
admission Of patients therein contrary
10 Inv, and OF allowing Illegal claims
against the County in their behalf
nc JHNEt ItlhHca tllls It-
quest In the following language:
Il do not deem II best TO submit these
matters to n subsequent Grand Jury, for
the following reasons:
!. Because the questions have been
investigated by one jury, and are Of
their report.
2. II any money has been wrongfnlly
paid ont, the law provides for recover
ing IL in civil action, aud this wonld in
my judgment, be less expensive to tho
county than pny other course which
could be pursued"
II was within the province OF the Court
to determine the ACCESSIBILITY Of resnb-
hitting the matter, but the second rea-
son assigned ispcculiar, II anything, II
amounts to recommendation TO com.
mencc civil suit to save expense, with
ont regard to the criminality OF the al
legged nets; reversing the usual course
by which the guilt Of the offenders Is
first determined, and then an action
brought to recover whatever may be
found delinquent.
Exercising his judicial discretion the
general order may not be subject to
complaint; but it will strike most men
that courts are instituted to enforce the
laws and punish their Injunction. This
| Is not done by civil action, but by
criminal proceedings, OF which grand
Jury investigation is the first. II would
be but just that these County officials
should have fair opportunity to meet
and refute any objection asto their con
duct. The place to do thisis in n grand
| jury room, where the entire matter can be
thoroughly Investigated and sifted in all
its labyrinths, intricncies and complica-
tions. A civil action would never bring
out these connections essential to a
successful verdict.
The result is that the matter virtually
drops into the shades OF limbo, leaving
charges preferred publicly unanswered
and partial cloud over men who have
had no opportunity To vindicate them.
selves. A future grand jury can, how
ever, take up the case on its volition
without any formal submission OF this
memorandum.
