three or more feet high, the remaining
part of the room space being tagged.

desks or tables, each table being covered
with u green baize cloth. The number
Of these tables varies according to the
court, in the common pleas there being
generally three of them, but not all are

Fort will start out this morning, and it
should be the aim of every one to give
something toward the noble work, and I
am sure that if our people knew what is
in store for them in these historical two
blocks of ground in the very near future,
they would be only too glad to give their
mite toward its purchase and preservation.
Sacramento City should well consider that
this Fort, when once purchased and
renovated is another step toward its future
greatness, and these very grounds will tend
more to advertise cur city than any other
feature, and bring the tourist and sight-seer
within our gates.

Between Ashland and Grants Pass the

sHERIFF's FEES.
Amounts Collected From the State Must
be Paid to the County.


Judge Spencer, of the Santa Clara Supe-
rior Court, has rendered decision that
interests the Sheriffs of the various coun-
ties. 1t was in the suit of Santa Clara
county against Jonathan Sweigert, the
Sheriff, to recover $1,1l0, which he had
collected from the State for taking prison.
ers to the Penitentiary and insane persons
to the State asylums.
When the county brought suit for the
amount the Sheriff demurred on the ground
that no cause of action had been averred,
and that he had the right under the State
Act; also, that if he had no right to convert
the money to his own use, the suit should
be against the State.
In his opinion Judge Spencer takes the
ground that the money should be collected
from the State by the Sheriff and turned
over to the County Treasury. This practi-
cally ends the case.

THE decision of the Supreme Court of
the United States affirming the oonstitu-
tionality of the anti Mormon test oath in
Idaho efctually lays upon the shelf the
controversy the Mormons have so long
maintained that religious liberty protects
them in the practice of polygamy. The
Court holds that religion cannot be per-
mitted to cloak crime defined by the laws
of the land, and that church will not be
permitted TO defend criminal practices on
the plea that their following is in accord
ance with the code of the church and the
articles of its faith. There is now nothing
left for the Mormons to do but to abandon
the ground they have SO long occupied in
this matter, submit themselves to the
laws or leave the country. 1t does not
much matter to the people at large which
they do.

THE settlement of the Parnell- Times
libel suit brings to a close one of the most
famous proceedings of the century. The
Times withdraws It's libelous remarks and
pays Parnell $4,000. 1t was the only
course left open to the Times with honor
Having failed to establish the genuine
ness of the letters on which it based its
charge that Parnell had been engaged in
criminal conspiracy, it remained but a
question of the measure of damages. 1t
was wiser to compromise this point than
to leave it to judgment under verdict.
On his part, by accepting one-tenth the
sum ne sued for Parnell has shown to the
world that he had pursued the Times not
for money, but for clearance of his char
acter. 1t is probable that the sum lie re-
ceived will be absorbed in paying the out
side costs to which he was put, though the
Court costs and the expenses of the prose-
cution usually chargeable in bill of costs
follow the judgment confessed. If not
openly, the Government will tacitly con-
sent to an apology to Parnell for its part
in the affair, and that will end one OF
the most phenomenal political proceed
ings of which English annals bear any
record
