The louimlle Convention.
This Convention is looming up and
bids fair to both outnumber and out
"enthuse" the Hog and Hominy Con
vention at Cincinnati, or the Sellout
Convention at Baltimore. Thirty-one
States have promptly responded to the
call, and others arc falling in rapidly.
All true Democrats are advocating the
necessity of preserving their party ljy
holding on to their principles, and by
nominating a true Democrat upon a
Democratic platform. They are very
much disgusted with the way the po
litical brokers sold them out at Balti
more. Chas. O'Conor is talked of as
the man to represent the Democratic
party. lie is a man of ability, and
will mako a good run in opposition to
Greeley.
The Republicans have but to con
tinue in the straight-forward course in
which they set out, to ensure a tri
umphant victory in November next.
Both of the other parties are unpopu
lar. The "anything for office" party is
looked upon by the ereat masses of
the people as being without principles,
and as a wolf in sheep's clothing se
cretly attempting to accomplish by
guile and deception what they failed
to achieve by bold treason. The true
Democratic party will mako a much
better showing in November, for hon
esty and numbers, but it is too badly
out of date and fashion to be in style,
and must remain in the ante-chamber
until it gets a new dress.
m
Cincurr Coujst. Pursuant to call
this body convened on Wednesday,
the 21st instant. Grand and petit ju
ries were cmpannclcd and sworn. The
grand jury indicted Thomas Barber for
grand larceny. Ho plead guilty, and
was remanded to jail to await his sen
tence. Five indictments were fo-ind
against each of the following named
persons: T. J. Allen, Chas. Wilson and
W. B. Dearberry, each accused of
stealing and driving away stock. The
two first named plead guilty and were
remanded to jail to await sentence.
Dearberry plead not guilty on one of
iuo waicunems, went to trial, and was
found guilty by the jury. At 10 A
JI. on Friday the prisoners received
the following sentences: Thomas Bar
ber, 3 years; Thos. J. Allen, 1 year for
each indictment, or 5 years in all ; C
Wilson, 4 years on the first indictment,
2 on the second, and 1 on each of the
remaining 3, making 9 years in all ; W.
B. Dearberry, 12 years imprisonment
at hard labor in the Penitentiary. No
further business being before the Court,
it adjourned until the next regular
term.
In June, 1871, now barely a little
over a year ago, Horace Greeley made
a speech in which ho said:
"I have been asked, arc there any
Ku Klux down South? Yes gentlemen,
thero are. I am moved
with profound disgust when I think of
these men covering themselves up with
second-rate calico masking their faces,
arnling themselves to tho teeth, and
riding around to tho cabin of poor harm
less Negroes, dragging them from
their beds, and whipping and maiming
them till they are compelled to sicear
they Kill never again vote the Republi
can ticket." .
Yet, m the face of this, his own testi
mony, he and his supporters now deny
that thero are Ku Klux, or that there
is any necessity for any law to punish
tho Ku Klux. They "clasp hands"
with tho Ku Klux over tho "bloody
chasm" mado by tho lash and tho
bowieknifo upon tho backs and breasts
of "poor, harmless Negroes," who arc
"whipped and maimed" till they are
compelled, to swear they will never
Again voto tho Republican ticket.

Important 17. S- Circuit Court Decision-
J AS. BAECLAY VS. CAIT. 0, A. GOODALE.
This was an action commenced in
the Circuit Court of Jackson county,
by the plaintiff against the defendant,
for 29 days' false imprisonment in the
guard house at Fort Klamath, in May
and June, 1871. The plaintiff claimed
ten thousand dollars for tho imprison
ment and loss of health and property.
The defendant admitted the impris
onment, and averred that he was an
officer of the United States, and justified
the imprisonment by three separate
pleas, alleging tho plaintiff was guilty
of the crimes of introducing and at
tempting to introduce spirituous li
quors into the Klamath Lake Indian
Reservation, in violation of tho Acts of
Congress of 1834 and 18C4 to regulate
trade and intcrcourso with the Indians.
On motion of the defendant the case
was transferred from the State Court
to the United States Circuit Court,
and the case has just been tried before
Judge Deady. It took three days to
try the case. The testimony is vol
uminous, but tho substance can be
briefly stated. The plaintifi testified
ho. had taken a land claim west of
Fort Klamath, on Wood river, and
that he had been informed it was out
side of the Indian Reservation and also
the Military Reservation, and that he
had a tent there at the time of the ar
rest; two men and two squaws were
his company, and two kegs of liquor
constituted his stock in trade ; that he
had been selling liquor to the soldiers
at from $3 to $4 a bottle, and that the
soldiers took it to the Post.
The evidence of the defendant was
conclusive that tho Klamath Lake In
dian Reservation was established by a
treaty with the Indians, and that the
western boundary lino was Wood river,
and that the Military Reservatou con
sisted of OGG acres and lay on both
sides of Wood river. I he evidence
tended to show that the plaintiff es
tablished tho camp with the intention
to sell liquor to soldiers and Indians,
and that the soldiers had frequently
bought liquor just beyond the lino of
the Indian Reservation, and that they
had frequently taken it to the garrison
inside of the Indian Reservation, and
that nearly half of the soldiers at the
garrison were drunk at the time of the
arrest. The evidence was not positive,
but tho circumstances tended to show
that the whole of the drunkenness was
caused by the two kegs of Barclay's
liquor.
In tho argument Mr. Read, the At
torney for the plaintiff, admitted it
was the duty of Capt. Goodalo to seizo
and destroy the two kegs of liquor,
uu. us .ourciay was OlltSldO Ot the
Indian Reservation his person was
sacred, and that no military officer
had any right to molest him, and if
the plaintifi was on the Indian Reser
vation with all his liquor the Captain
could only detain him five days, and
the balance of the imprisonment, under
any circumstances, was illegal, and
that the plaintifi might recover heavy
damages.
Messrs. B.F. Do well and A. C. Gibbs,
Attorneys for the defendant, contend
ed that the defendant was a gross vio
lator of the law and good order, and
that he settled on the edgo of the In
dian Reservation to introduce his li
quor into tho Indian Reservation by
Indians and soldiers, and that he was
just as guilty as if he had his whole
camp on the Indian Reservation. If
ho 6old the liquor with the under
standing that the soldiers vrere'to take
it on the Reservation he was just as
guilty as if he had taken it there him
self They admitted the Acts of Con
gress did not authorize Capt. Goodale
to arrest the plaintiff outside of the
Indian Reservation, but that as a citi
zen, it the crime ot introducing or at
tempting to introduce spirituous li
quor on the Indian Reservation inside
or outside of the Military Reservation
was committed in the presence of the
officer he might lawfully arrest the
plaintiff and then as an officer of tho
Post he could imprison him in the
guard house. They also contended
that tho Act of Congress required the
prisoner to be removed from the Indian
country within five days after his ar
rest was directive and not imperative,
and under tho.particular circumstances
of this case, "owing to tho depth of
snow in the mountains, and the drunk
enness and insubordination of tho sol
diers at the time, tho defendant might
delay tho removal of the prisoner a
reasonable time.
The Court charged tho jury: 1st.
That under tho acts of Congress and
the treaty all tho Military Post east
of Wood river was an Indian country,
and all of it west of the river was not
an Indian country, but all inside otthe
Military Reservation and outside of
the Indian Reservation was not subject
to settlement by the plaintiff. 2d.
That the Act of Congress did not au
thorize any officer to arrest any one
for any of these crimes outsido of the
Indian Reservation; but under the
Oregon statute it the crime was com
mitted in the presence of Capt. Good
ale, as a citizen he could legally arrest
tho plaintiff outside of the Reserva
tion, and that he could legally confine
him, as an officer, for five days, and no
longer; that the Act of jCongress was
imperative and not directive, and that
no circumstances conld legally excuse
tho imprisonment ; but the jury could
look to all the facts and circumstances
in assessing the damages.
Tho jury retired, and in a few min
utes returned a verdict in favor ot the
plaintiff, and assessed his damages
at SI.
The other caso of Rouse against
Capt Goodale is very similar and has
been dismissed at plaintiff's cost,
Capt. Goodale may have been mis
taken as to his legal rights, but we are
satisfied he only intended to discharge
his duties. He is a gallant officer, and
we are pleased to learn he is only
mulcted in nominal damages for an
unintentional violation of law.

It appears from tho telegraphic dis
patches which we print to day that the
Republican majority in North Carolina
is nearly three thousand, as far as offi
cially counted. Papers like the Ore
gon Herald boast that their party has
elected a majority of the Congressmen
and obtained a majoriry in the Legis
lature. Both these results have been
brought about by outrageous gerry
mandering of Congressional and Legis
lative districts. This was done by the
last Legislature, which was a Demo
cratic body. So that, although tht.
Republicans have a good majority in
the State and are fairly entitled to a
majority of Congressmen and Legisla
turc, the will of the people is set aside
by unscrupulous manipulations of the
pious "Reform" party. Oregonian.
