LARAMIE, W. T.. March In en-
panneling and charging the first female
jury, Judge Hawes said:


Ladies' and Gentlemen of the Ora I'D
Jury-It is a novelty to see, as we do
to-day, ladies summoned to serve as
jurors. The extension OF political
rights and franchise to woman IS a
subject that is agitatlng the whole
country. / have never taken an ac-
tive part in these discussions, but
have long seen that woman was
victim TO the crimes and immortality
of man, with no power to protect and
defend herself from evils. L have
long felt that such powers OF protcc-
ton should be conferred upon woman,
and it has fallen to our lot here to
act as pioneers in this movement, and
to test the question. The eyes OF
the world, are to-day fixed upon this
jury of Albany County. There IS not
the slightest impropriety in any body
occupying this position, and | wish to
assure you that the fullest pro-
lection of the court shall be ac-
corded to you, as 1t would be
most shameful and a scandal that
our temple of justice and In our courts
of law, anything should be permitted
which the most sensitive lady might
not hear with propriety and witness
and here let me add, that will be a
sorry day for any man who shall So
far forget the courtesies due and paid
by every American gentleman to every
American lady, as to even, by word
or act, endeavor to deter you
from the exercise of these rights, OF
which the laws have invested you.
| will conclude with the remarks
that this is a question for you to de-
eide for yourself. No man has any
right to interfere. 1t seems to be
proper for women to sit upon the
Grand Jury, which will give them the
best possible opportunities to aid
in suppressing the dens of intamy
which now curse the country.
| shall be glad of your assistance in
the accomplishment of this object.
I do not make these remarks from
any distrust of the gentlemen; on the
contrary, [ am exceedingly pleased
and gratifed with the indications oi
intelligence, love OF law ami good
order, and gentlemanly department
which see manifested.

DETROIT, March 1.-THE case of
George Van0erpool, lately convicted
and sentenced to solitary confinement
at Manistee, is attracting a good deal
Of public attention. An appeal to
the people of the State of Michigan
was issued by sixteen leading citizens,
appointed By the people of Muskegon,
TO aid, unite, and cooperate with
them to secure a new trial for Van
derpool. to be conducted with fair
ness and impartiality In a community
uninfuenced by prejudice, passion, or
undue sympathy.


The committee say in initiating a
popular movement to set aside ver-
dict duly rendered. after trial by jury
in accordance with the forms of law,
we insist that we are not melted
by any desire to screen guilt
from legal responsibility, TO pro-
tect an offender from punish
ment, or awaken popular sympathy IN
favor of the accused that would be
likely to blind the judgement of intel
ligent men, only to secure a hearing
that shall be so expressive IN bring
ing before a jury all the facts having
relation to the case, and verdict so
impartial that the judgement of all
candid, thoughtful minds shall be
fully satisfied Herewith. The trial
Just had is fresh In the minds of the
people throughout the State. We
comment upon these facts no far
ther than to say we believe that
popular judgement coneurs with
US In the opinion that Vanderpool,
whether guilty or innocent, has not
had that opportunity for a thorough
and impartial trial so imperatiyely
demanded by the spirit of our laws,
and by the equitable promptings of
our minds, in view of the gravity Of
the crime charged and its fearful
consequences. Evidence has been
brought to light since the termination
of the trial, having very important
bearing upon the case in favor of the
prisoner. Upon this and other equal
ly substa ntial grounds, we have con-
fidence that above doubt new trial
will be granted.

to some other company for completion


OF course the completion of ten
miller of new road before the first OF
May next is now impossible, so the only
means of preserving the franchise from
forfeiture, is its transfer, as provided in
the law.


The object of the new organization is
to facilitate such transfer as will pre-
serve the franchise, and secure the
early completion of the road. Their
prospect of success in this, is perhaps
fully expressed in the term "hopeful."


Two years ago the Pennsylvania Cen
trail r. r. Co., proposed to the N. d Z.
r. r. Co., that if new company was
organized, and the franchise transfer
red to such new company, they, the T.
C.. Co., would construct and operate the
road. The only progress thus far made
in this programme is the organlza-
tion of this new company. Whether
the NJ. &. G. Co. will sell the franchise,
and whether the P. G. Co. still hold
their offer open, are not yet ascertained.


Should this enterprise fail, the proba'
bility is that the franchise will forfeit
and the right of way revert to the or
iginal owners of the land.


The work done and the material now
on the road probably including the
right of way) are estimated to have
cost $3.50, 900, and the amount neces'
sary to complete the road bed is esti'
mated by competent engineers at $780,
600.


As The rights now held in the road are
about to forfeit, it would seem reasona-
BILE that the owners should be willing
to sell at a small fraction of the origin
al cost; and if, with the immense saw
ing thus to be made, no company can be
found to complete and operate the road
all hope of our having railroad on that
line may as well be abandoned.


The new company, as we understand
it, does not design to construct the road;
but it may be relied upon to do every
thing that can be done ts perfect such
arrangements as will result in the early
completion and successful operation ol
the road.

The letter of our Camp McDowell cores pondent, which we to-day print, brings to mind, most painfully, scenes of murder and robbery which we know have been commit ted in the southern section of our Territory. We have become so accustomed to seeing, and hearing of, like barbarities committed upon unotfending American citizens by these monsters in human shape-the devilish Apaches-that we fear the view or recital thereof does not make as deep an impression upon our minds as formerly. This must not be. We must not become as calous to these things as are the officers of our Government, who lay back in easy positions, where they are free from dangers of all sort, .nd barely listen to the mournful walls of our people for protection. Great God, is it possible that the American People and the officers of their Government mean to continue deaf to our cries for aid Why do not the Senators and Representatives of the Pacific coast rise in their places in Congress, and tell that body some truths regarding this Territory. Tell the Government that it is responsible for the murder of it's citizens and soldiers in Arizona, by not at once putting an end to the bush whacking war that s being waged against them. Our military and civil officers must, we know, be weary ot asking for more troops, and never having their requests complied with, and it strikes us that the Press and peo- pie of the Territory are in the same condition. Yet, there is nothing like pressing a point or points, and the MINER will continue to press these matters upon Government so long as the necessity for so doing exists.

 In addition to the murders and robberies detailed in our letter from Camp Mcdowell, we have news that, quite recently, the sava- ges attacked the mail party, at point be- tween Apache Pass and Tucson, but, succeed. ed in doing no more than killing mule. The driver and escort, very luckily, got away and arrived at Apache Pass, all safe. Upon learn ing the news, Colonel Barnard took some O his troopers, pursued them, killed eleven o them, took one prisoner and captured foul horses

 We have, also, rumor to the effect that about ten days ago, large party of the say ages visited Salt River and drove off eight o nine hundred head of cattle This rurnoi needs confirmation, although it is said thai Mr. Mckinney brought the news from Sal River to Black Canon, where he arrived som. six or seven days ago.

 Although the savsges have not been yer, bad in this vicinity for some time past, they are here in force, and there is no telling how soon they may start in. The cavalry com panies are getting ready to start for Ney Mexico, and the Commander of the sub-dis trict is almost powerless to aid our people But, of ono thing we feel quite certain, h will do everything in his power for us.

SMALL Pox-We wish to inform those of our home readers who are not already posted on the matter, that this foul and dangerous disease still fingers in the southern counties of California, and is spreading among the people. We have also heard, within the past week, that the disease had broken out in Tue son, and attacked several people. The Ari- soraH has not said one word about it, which is very wrong in it, if the disease really eS- sts there, and Mexican people who recently arrived at wickenburg, from Tucson, have told citizens of Wickenburg that several per sons were prostrated at Tucson, when they left there. We counsel our people to start in now and prepare their systems to resist the loathsome plague, should it come this way. We do not wish to fnghten any one bul all know thas the chances are in favor of it's being brought here from California.
