Th necsssity for . tht hanging ot tn murdsrsrs within period of sixty days, in ft singla Slat of th Union, and that itata on of smallest, csrtsinly InditaUa a condition of so cisty not pleaiant to oratsroplsts. Dsspita all tha ridsncss of txptri act, which item to multiply with ever-increasing airphatia aa civiliza tion ad ranee a, teaching tha hopeless ness of Backing to prevent eriuia by the public execution of cr'miuals; and notwithetanding tha preaching af the tdvocateiol tha abolition of capital puniihment, in earnest championship e( epinioai founded in clear reason ing, and drawn from legicat daduo lions, there will likely remain a set tled conviction in tha popular miud that hanging is the very best use a murderer can bo put ta. It ia easy to understand that ii men's passiena and prejudices could be controlled by natural ind moral laws, and all their conduot regulated to serve tho best in Uresis ol them selves and of society, the highest good of human existence being thus attained there would be mo aee! for coercive agencies to secure the pub lic safety, order, comfort and individit at happiness. But the millennium in not yet, and pending its advett the Devil must be dealt with according aa existing circumstances shall offer wnys and means to meet his mnohi oatioua wjtb all the power of human resiilanco. "Joagula" lillrr Romaacci. "We elip th following from the S. F. Examiner of the 2d of January: "The wild poet of the Sierras is crcd ited with this: I call mysulf a tramp, for the reason that I liny hnd no home for years. Not sinoe I left Or goo. I was a lawyer there ami administered the law for four years. With that exception I have been a reamer. Yes, th four years wlun 1 administered the law was the longest time I lived anywhere. I was a J udge, and bad a copy of Hlm kstone and two air-shooters. Myadminiftia tion waa very 'successful.". It is true that Cincinnstus II. Miller, com monly known as "Joaquin," was four years a County JimIjju in Grant coun ty, Oregon, lie was elected by the Democrats to the office. But le was neyer a , lawyer, except by eay-eo. And if he mesne thst he administered the law or justice by t' e aid of his six shooters, instead of by the ststucs and as flm uoh of Illaukstone, as he had learned, he largely romances. Canyen City was never a good plaoe for pistol practice law, even in the wilder times belore Judge Miller held Court, and it is a baseless scan dal on tho administration of justice in Oregon to intimate that inathe State Courta anything ot the kind he mentions prevailed. "Joaquin" Mil ler'a Judgeship was not a brillsnt performance. Sfcret Soeitlln.

The annual report ef the Secretary of the Treasury of the Uaitsd States is now issued in pamphlet form, and ita effect open the reader is remarka ble.. Ills the duty, and should be tha pleasure, of every citizen and tax payer to attentively perasethic docu ment and learn not only where the money cornea from, but where it goee to. The c. aud t. therefore draws hia chair to the fire and commences the task ot Warning what the cuclo dian of the nation's strong boxea has te say. Oa the first pago we learn that for the fiscal year ending June 30th, the total ordinary receipts were 1257,763,878 70, sod th etotul ordina ry expenses 1230,904,326 60, leaving a surplus of 1 20,709,551 90, but this had been so liberally applied to the redumption of outstanding liabilitiea that we wound op in debt te the inking fund in the sum of 114,629, 449 00, the sum of $33,410,001 80, being due that fond fur that year. For the pat ient fi-cal year the actual and estimated receipts will bo 204, 500,000, and the actual and estimated expenditures, $240,10 100), lesvinj? a balance of 124,400,000 applicable te the sinking fund, whic'i for this year is estimated at $30,714,C07 87, expos ing a dvliciency ot J12,554,Co7 87. The ordinary recoipts for 1880 esli mstcd on exl ting laws are s-i down at $201,500,000, and the exjv mlin res, including sinking fund, $272,137,230, 94, the estimated deficit being $10, 637,250 94. At t hia rate, it will rc. quire ten more years to reach a point where, with the present ratio of re ceipts and ei cnditiires and (be re venue ainkiag fund requirement, we can make our income balance with our outgo. Following the above the reader is led into a pirfeot labyrinth of figures and atatamenls at first amazing and appalling in their magnitude, too ex tensive in fact to becommonted upon in the space at our disposal, and the mind aoon become so accustemsd to contemplating millionn,4ens of mil lions and hundreds o: millions ol dol lars that bewilderment gives places to iudiflerenoe,thc reader readily con cludes that a few hundred million either way will not make any differ ence, and the report is laid away lor "future reference" Cel. Rota Explains. From tho Roaelmrg Indepttulent we clip the following: "An inter view with C.I. Koss, on his rclur from Salem, has thrown much lig on the investigation, This gentle man before has be n known in us as "Ibnvst Old John," and from what ha said wc are c riain he deserve the name; for in this examination th Colonel has had no axes to grind, and in his woik he bus been moved by patriotiu motives en behalf of his con stituenoy, and a desire to sue justic done first, by the people, and then by those accused of wrong. II thinks that in the matter ol the re ceipt given Walker, the Seor. tary of Stale will show that il c in nils report ed sold yet remain iu possession ot the State that there was no aale in reality will easily be proven, and that the certificate wih piven in order that an effoit might be made in oonjnno tion with certain California capitalist in order to secure a title from the Government to tho Statu to such lauds. As to the ameuule preps! differs t cherif!, the Colonel argues, there is a simple diJcisnce of opinion in the construction of the meauing of the Statues, an Oat whether the payiiionta were in acoordanee with law, is a question for thj court to de cide." secretary JMihur has decide I not "i , .... te omuially certify to the State ol Oregon a large bndv of land about Little Klamath Lake, which ia claim ed under the Swamp Land Aot.

The committee also desire to slate that the books, papers and vouchers of Professor L. L.
