FRIDAY-The traverse jury was excused until
the 8th day of May.
AT the commencement of the term there we've
80 cases put upon the assigned jury trial list, but
on account of an epidemic of non readiness, after
the trial of one case the remainder have been
continued. The case of Dickinson VS.. Dr. Bur
bank for malpractice, which If tried would occu-
py several days is continued account of the i'll
ness OF the plaintiff. Other cases are continued
on the ground of the absence OF important wit
nesses and sickness of the parties. some OF the
cases consigned are to be tried before the jury
at the close OF the criminal trials in May. few
court cases will be tried at this April term.

COOP REasoNs.

One Of the best reasons we have
heard in favor Of county division is
the answer Of a certain Wood River
paper to the allegation the BULLETIN
made that there was twelve hun
dred voters in the proposed Elmore
county. It thinks we may possibly
have five hundred. Whena editor
is so totally oblivious of facts in re-
lation to the county in which he
prints his journal it shows most
conclusively that territory twic.
as large as New Jersey is more thar
the average inhabitant can keep his
mind upon, know its needs and in
diligently vote in its affairs so as t.
do justice to all concerned. Five
hundred indeed! The biggest fiv'
hundred that ever entered int
your imagination, "old son."

A PROPOSITION ONLY,

1t has been suggested to us that
it would be better for each Of the
political parties in Gilmore county
to preserve its integrity and send
delegates to both the conventions
with understanding that when it
shall be attempted to pledge them
to support nominations against di-
vision or in any other manner act
inimical to our interests, such dele
gates be instructed to withdraw
Whatever we may have said has
been only by way Of suggestion.
No man, editor or otherwise, should
have, or pretend to have, autocratic
power. If this course should be
considered advisable we must still
be ready to coalesce with either
party or act independently and
adopt the principle of the old
Puritanic Captain, Trust in God
and pray to him, but keep your pow
der dry" It is folly to underrate
the obstacles we have to encounter

THE SHIRETOWN.

What a bugsboo it is upon the
part Ct some Of the Wood River pa
pers to state that the only object OF
agitation of the county division
question is to get a county seat at
Mountain Home. The county seat
question is discussed only among
the Wood River people. We have
not arrived to this point as yet.
When the time comes for its con-
sideration, should we. not be able
with the amount of intelligence we
possess to satisfactorily arrange the
matter, it will be time for the wise
men of HALEY to step to the front
and kindly tender their sage advice.
We feel perfectly certain that they
will not cause us to suffer on ac-
count Of any dearth Of wisdom this
side Of the Sawtooth range.

A FEW MORE FACTS.

The BULLETIN thinks it can pre-
sent few facts in addition to those
heretofore advanced which must
convince the most skeptical that
the new county of -Elmore is de-
manded by every principle Of COM
mon justice. The territory Of AL
turas in square miles is just about
double that Of the entire State Of
New Jersey which is really COM
monwealth Of no mean dimensions.
Turn over the leaves Of statistics
given in the World or Tribune
almanacs and view the figures, for
they are easily ascertainable. If
the people of the state named were
obliged to 60 to Trenton to settle
estates and follow up appeals from
Justices courts and cases certified
where titles come in question, they
would esteem it a great hardship.
There transportation is easy, rail-
roads running to and from nearly
every town, city and hamlet, and
even with these conveniances, were
its expanse doubled, what wrong,
it would be considered by the people
they were suffering? Here we have
roads and Mountain passes, which
in the winter can only be crossed by
those who possess the art Of snow
shoeing.
The last term of our court al
HALEY, was to have been held May
Is. In consequence of the illness
Of Judge Hays it was continued un
til 10th Of June, then until a latel
date. When the docket was mad.
up for May, there were, we were in
formed, 118 civil cases on the docke
and about six weeks ago Distric
Attorney Roberts gave out tina
there were about twenty-eight civi
cases. The number, since, we hav
no means Of knowing save that o.
this side Of the range, there has beel
three shooting affairs to our know
ledge and many appeals and case
certified up to the district court
It is probable now that no coul
will be held until October %. Wit
the great accumulation Of cases no,
can the court get through the docke
in less than three or four months a
the leasss? During the winter ther
is ten or twelve feet of snow on tn
divide, between Atlanta and Rock
Bar; generally six feet at the Be
and for miles out, on the high roa
between Pine Grove and Halle
seven or eight feet. How are wi
nesses to get out to go to Halle
especially women and sometime
children? How many people wi
be Obliged to abandon their suit
court and allow them to be strickt
from the docket because they CO
not get their witnesses over to Ha
ley before snow falls and keep the
there until spring? The poor m.
who sues for wages, the widow for
board bill, the child for his pat
mony, must lose all because t
means of obtaining the redress al
remedies provided for by law q
utterly impossible from the force
circumstances beyond the power
man to avert.
This is no fancy sketch but
plain unvarnished statement. Wi
small docket and court held at
season of the year when the pcol
can move about with a reasonal
celerity-the chiefest object Of t
government, the redress of t
grievances of the citizens, the p
seryation Of the public peace, a
the punishment of crime can be b
attained.
