ONE OF TWO THINGS. '
tending would simply be an exchange
of interest-bearing paper, which will
mature at a fixed time, for demand
paper-bearing no interest. : But we pre
dict that the treasury will ain in its
gold reserve from sixty to eighty per
cent by the bond issue. It was the
London press which in 1862 declared the
legal tender act was the dawn of Ameri
can bankruptcy. They were slightly in
error then, and are equally so now.
The press of Walla- Walla is com
plaining because a jury in a murder case,
just tried in that city, failed to find a
verdict of murder in the first degree,
but returned one in the Eecond. From
the evidence introduced it appears that
one ot the convicts in the State peniten
tiary, on arcount of some real or fanc'eu
Injury done him by a fellow-prisoner,
laid a plan to kill the mover of his
wrath, and, seizing a favorable oppor
tunity, carried it into execution. The
first line of defense offered was the well
worn claim of insanity, but a commis
sion having decided that the prisoner
was sane, the plea of self-defense was
entered. The testimony for the state
was strong and supported the charge
that the killing was done with premedi
tation. It was shown conclusively that
the murderer, with a knife concealed in
his sleeve, walked towards his intended
victim, and after but few angry words,
did the stabbing. Other evidence,
equally as important, was placed before
the jury, and the efforts of the state's
officers lacked nothing in a forcible, fair
and convincing presentation of the case;
and yet, after being out all night, the
jury returned a verdict of murder in the
second degree.
Passing by the instructions of the
judge which in this instance, as in
many others, were conflicting, and in
stead of giving light to the jurymen,
only served to make matters still more
dark and complicated the outcome in
this case shows one of two things
either that men who are passing upon
the guilt or innocence of an accused,
hesitate at fulfilling the scriptural in
junction, "An eye for an eye and a
tooth for a tooth," or that, having ob
served in nearly every case the unneces
sary delays, and many times the perver
sion of justice, caused by the raising of
trifling technicalities and their sanc
tioning by the supreme court of our
different states having observed these
things, it is likely that the jury in the
Walla Walla case believed that a ver
dict of murder in the second degree
meant a punishment more certain than
If the one asked for by the slate had
been returned.
.In either of these conditions some
change is made necessary : if jurymen
are not willing to find a verdict in the
first degree, because such a verdict is
euDnosed to mean death, such men
should not sit upon a jury, or capital
punishment should be abolished. Men
will believe themselves competent in
this respect to sit upon a jury, but when
brought face to face with giving judg
ment of death, will weaken and com
promise upon a lesser offense. What
ever the trouble may be, the adminis
tration of justice should be remedied so
that the verdict - of a iurv should not
yrovoke the almost universal criticism to
which the people of Walla Walla are
giving vent.
While no one looks upon the presiden
tial candidacy of Governor Morton with
any serious consideration, yet in case
the venerable gentleman, by a stroke of
fortune, should be successful, the cam
paign for the vice-presidency would be a
warmer one than it generally is. The
lie of a public man. is not a long one,
and Morton has reached to near the
limit.
Shipments of machinery for the new
woolen mill at Pendleton have already
been' received, and the roaring of its
looms Jwill be heard by the first of July.
Pendleton is obtaining what The Dalles
should have had long ago. Nowhere
the Pacific coast are to be found
more substantial and lasting advantages
for this and kindred institutions than
those possessed by this city soon to be
the head of deep water navigation upon
the brad Columbia.
THE ENDLESS CHAIN.
English papers contend that the bond
issue will in no way aid the U. S. treas
ury, because the gold to be used in pur
chasing the bonds will be drawn out of
the treasury in exchange for other cur
rency. English newspapers know about
as much concerning American finances
and what is best for us as a nation as
they do about our geography. England
has one bank upon which its finances
depend almost entirely; we have thous
ands of banks scattered over a territory
more than fifty times as great as Eng
land. In these thousands of banks are
deposited gold coin, seeking a safe in
vestment which is likely to return gold
coin. This popular loan calls npon this
vast accumulation, and a part of it re
sponds at once.
New York banks may convert their
currency into gold at the treasury and
use it to buy the bonds sold to them ;
but generally throughout the country
this will not be the case. But if this
were the case, the result would eventu-
ally be the retiring of this currency,
which has given the treasury bo much
trouble, and the substitution therefor of
interest-bearing bonds, which will give
o trouble until they mature, and not
serious trouble then, because being ad
vised as to when they mature, the treas
ury will be advised to meet them..
If bur friends across the water knew
all they think they do," or rather if what
they think they know were a fact, our
