VIRGINIA New, November 22d.-Rich-
ard Granville, a miner employed in the

found Granvilles dead body with the neck

SOLD HIS WIFE,
Canadian Who Disposed of His Better
Half for $40.

OTTAWA, November 22d.-There is a
young woman at present living in Halifax
who a dozen years ago married a man
much older than herself. They lived con-
tentedly together for q number of years
and had six children. The husbands bus
iness called him away, and he remained
absent longer than was expected, and the
wife gave him up as gone forever. But a
few days ago he returned home, as he
thought, to the arms of loving wife and
the caresses of dutiful children, instead of
which he found another man in his place.
This man did not board at neighboring
hotel unknown to his wife and work hard
for an existence while his family lived in
comfort, and at first it looked as if the old
and new husbands would spill some blood,
but the old fellow took a more sensible
view of the matter and accepted $40 from
the new husband, for which he promised to
relinquish all claims to his wife and FAM
lily. The old husband, happy at what he
considered good bargain, left the city.

SYMPATHETIC JURY.
A New Mexican Murderer and Robber
Turned Loose.

Turned Loose.
ALBUQUERQUE IN. NJ, November 22d.-
One of the most surprising verdicts ever
rendered in New Mexico was that returned
by the jury in the Pedro Lopez murder
case. They found him not guilty in the
face of the strongest evidence. He killed
Frank Chase with coupling pin, dragged
his body under railroad bridge and then
robbed his person. He fed, but was ar
rested, and on searching his clothing the
murdered mans knife, bloody from hand
ling, and his two purses were discovered.
Chase was in the employ of the Atlantic
and Pacific. and on The morning of the
murder received his wages. This money
was also found on Lopez. Several spots of
blood were on the prisoners clothing. The
mans own testimony was convicting, and
still the jury turns him loose upon the
community. Prominent Mexicans are Bit
ter in denouncing the verdict.

CITY PRISONERS.

the Supreme Court has rendered de-
cision that, so soon as stated, will be seen
to accord with sound reason. A defendant
was convicted of violating a city ordinance
at Eureka and sentenced to a term in the
county Jail. On habeas corpus the Su-
preme Court holds that the prisoner under
such Judgment cannot be held by COM
mitment addressed to the Sheriff; the
prisoner must be confined in the city
prison. Whether the decision goes to the
length of holding that prisoners committed
from municipal courts must be confined in
city prisons, or that only such as are con-
victed under city ordinances, we are not
informed
The ruling directly and materially
affects Sacramento. In years time prob
ably three hundred and fifty persons are
confined in the county Jail under commit
ments issued by the Police Court. These
prisoners are to some small extent worked
in the chain-gang in cleaning streets and
keeping crossings clear of mud in winter.
Under the new ruling all such will be con-
fined in the city prison, and consequently
the cost of maintaining it will be materi-
ally increased. But on the other hand, the
city viii gain very much by having entire
control over these prisoners. 1t can make
them working force of from thirty to
forty per day. These men eau first be
utilized in doing the necessary work about
the prison consequent upon this increased
force to be kept there secondly, in pre-
pairing stone for street improvement,
which can thus be furnished at greatly re-
duced cost; thirdly, in work upon the
streets, alleys and sewers.
In the long run the city will be the
gamer by the new system-it will really
save money, for these prisoners can be
made to very much more than pay for
their keeping, since the cost of street work
by utilization of a city force of prisoners
will be much reduced Greater cleanli-
ness can be secured on all public highways
ALSO and this in itself will be material
gain. However looked upon, therefore,
the decision inures to the benefit of Sacra-
uepto

book was a successful one, good, bad, or

INDIANS AS SOLDIERS.

Major William Powell proposes in the
United States Maqazine that reservation In
dams be enlisted in the regular army. He
holds that many of the reservation Indi-
ans will never become good farmers, while
most of them may be good soldiers. He
cites the fact that European nations have
armed the members of nomadic tribes in
their territories and colonies. Russia
arms the Cossacks and England the Sc
poys. This sounds well, but the scheme is
not to be commended when a second
thought is given to it. In the first place,
the American Indian win not make good
soldier. The confinement, precision and
disciplinary necessities of the army are
repulsive to him, and barrack life soon be-
comes intolerable to one whose nature is
interlinked with the idea of perfect free
dom of action In the second place, he
does not feel, and with very few excep-
tions cannot be made to feel, an interest
In our civilization and institutions. He
is the element in our community that of
all others remains foreign and apart from
our national life He must continue to
look upon the pale face" as usurper of
his birthright and ruthless trespasser
upon his hunting grounds, to which the
Great Spirit had given him a title in fee
simple. Aside from these considerations,
in such government as ours, this kind of
material should not be grated upon the
army, since we should only wish American
citizens to serve in such capacity. Mon
arches may engage hirelings and to keep
aboriginal tribes in subsection may en-
ploy them to bear arms, but such system
in America would be foreign to the spirit Of
our institutions, tend to bring the army
into disrepute, and have precisely the OPP
posite effect from stimulating pride in the
service As scout, a sort of free lance,
the Indian is at times a useful auxiliary to
frontier forces; as a regular in the army
we do not believe he would give satisfac-
ton.

but it is not correct judgment to say that
they manifested it in the elections referred
to, for the fact is, that in every instance
they returned Legislatures that elect
United States Senators that are Republic
can and pledged to the policy of the Ad-
ministration. The Democracy elected
Governors and some minor State officers,
but when it came to the choice of men
that alone can affect the tariff question,
they chose those who are favorable to the
Republican view.
