Down the Missouri.

From Tom Morgan, who has just re,
turned from a trip down the river, our
reporter secured the following items:
G.. r. Norris, of Clagett, is working
about fifteen men, improving roads and
building sheds for the sheep that will be
driven there this summer. When com
pleted he will have an excellent road
from Clagett out on to the bench.
A mar named Sweeney was seriously
injured a few days ago at Clagett by a
kick received from a horse.
G. R. Norris and Mr.. Morgan went
down to Carroll in the formers convey
ance and while there the horses strayed
away or were stolen, and nothing has
since been heard of them. 1t vas a
valuable team.
The trade at down the river points
this season has been exceedingly light
a nd their catch of robes and peltries
does not amount to anything scarcely.

Activity Of the Dynamiters Unabated.

PARIS, April 15.-Several English de-
t~ectives arrived in Paris for the purpose
OF tracing the dynamiters. In spite OF
Col. Maiendie's report it is declared
that the dynamite used at Victoria sta
ton was made at a factory between
Amiens and Boulogne. The rumor is
afioat that all attempt will shortly be
made to blow up one of the public bull
dings in London. The activity of the
dynamiters continues undated. They
meet twice q week for the purpose Of
making plans and preparations for fu-
ture outrages. It is believed that the
English and French police are fully
acquainted with their movements. and
that every effort will be made to coun-
teract their plots. Also oneof the mos
trusted dynamite leaders keeps the
police fully informed as to all their
plans.

President OF Guatemala Still Lives.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-Senor Bates,
the Central American minister at this
city, received a telegram from the min
lister of foreign affairs for Guatemala
and San Salvador, saying that it is true
an attic npt was made to assassinate
President Barrios, but adding that no
harm was done him and that he is per-
fectly well. The dispatch also says that
there is no disturbance of public order.
The attempted assassination is univer-
sally execrated. General Barrios is re-
celving congratulations from all classes
of people.

THE JUDICIARY IN THE TERRI
TORIES.

The following is the bill that recently
passed the house, modifying the judi
ciary system in the territories, and
which was ably supported by Delegate
Maginnis:
Be 1T enacted, &C., That the supreme
court of every territory shall consist of a
chief justice and three associate justices,
any three of whom shall constitute a
quorum; and they shall hold their Off
ces for four years, and until their sue
cessors are appointed and qualified.
They shall hold a term annually at the
seat Of government of the territory for
which they are respectively appointed {:
Provided, however, That no justice shall
act as a member of the supreme court in
any action or proceeding brought to such
court by writ of error, bill of exceptions
oraappeal from a decision, judgment or
decree rendered by him as Judge of a
district court.
Sec. 2. That every territory shall be
divided into four judicial districts, and
a district court shall be held in each dis
trict of the territory by one OF the JUS
tees Of the supreme court, at such time
and place as may be prescribed by law,
and each Judge, after assignment, shall
reside in the district to which he is as
signed.
Sec. 8. That temporarily, and until
otherwise provided by law, the governor
Of each territory not divided into four
judicial districts shall, by proclamation,
define the judicial districts for such ter
ritory, assign the judges thereto, and fix
the times and places for holding courts
therein: Provided, That no process,
proceeding, order, judgment or decree
of any court of any territory issued, had,
made, or rendered prior to the taking
effect Of such executive order shall be
invalidated or affected by the provisions
hereof.
If the bill meets the same favorable
consideration from the senate and presi-
dent, it will become operative at once,
or upon the Encouragement of the dis
tricts by the governor and the appoint
ment by the president of the additional
justices.
The provisions of the bill are excel
lent, and the demand for such a change
so apparent to everybody, that it is
quite unnecessary to argue the ques-
ton here, where the shortcomings Of the
present system are SO seriously felt.
With four judicial districts instead of
three the business of the courts could
receive better and more prompt consid-
Grafton, but the great advantage to &C
crue would be the certainty of q court
Of appeal free from bias or prejudice,
where the Judge of the lower court would
not be required TO pass upon his own
opinions. The territories will watch
with interest the further action of con-
g1ess upon this bill.

according to some, 10000 persons, it

pieces but for the intcrposton first of
'the disciple" i" aud then of 1.-THE Chiefs
of Asia" These chief officers, or Asi
archs, were men Of wealth, who superin,
tended the games. They were high in
honor and influence. 1t seems that
they were friendly to Paul. They knew
where he might be found, and sent him
warning to take care of himself. The
town clerk, too, the parsonage who had
the charge Of Statcpaper- and presided
over public gatherings, came forward
as the Apostles defender.
1t has been noticed that Paul was Of
ten befricnded by person, high in Office
as Sergius Psulus, Gallo, Felix, and
Festus. Some OF these very A'iarchs
may have been secret deciples. Some
how Paul commended himself to such
men; no doubt Is thi, candor and
courtesy and the evident seiiiorgetiuI-

were not so much OF his making as of
God oyerruling. They were raised up
for bis protection and help. God cares
