 The quick trip of the military transport Gen. Jeff Davis to Eagle and return, should be all object les son to the Judiciary department. If justice is to be speedily ar! ef- fec,ively administered along the Yukon, a like steamer should be placed ot the disposal of the judge of this district. The court officials who came from Eagle, to arrange the cases from Rampant for trial at that place, were held here nearly sixty days awaiting tie ar rival of an up-river boat to trans fer the principals, and an army of witnesses to court headquarters.
 Dawson is fighting the only means that makes her accessible. The News advocates fair freight tariff; the Nugget evidently wants the w. P. BY. Railway run at loss. We would suggest that the railroad officials meet the Nugget editor halfway and supply him a pass.
