Justich Tempkrbo with MtROY. r Judge
Wilson established a valuable precedeot in
the degress of punishment awarded respec
tively to Frank Jones and Henry Trickle. The
Judge is somewhat noted for the precipitancy
and violence with which he "drops down" on
contumacious fellons. Jones canio within
that category. To forgery be added all suc
ceeding evidences of rascality necessary to
establish his reputation as a disMinest man,
who never intended to do better than he bad
done. Trickle is another kind of man. He
came to the bar of. the court a penitentre
gretting the one dishonest Impulse which had
been tbe cause of his downfall. He had given
many evidences of future good intentions,
and tbe Judge awarded him tbe lightest pen
alty which the law allows. The young man
Is better off to-day, than if were free and un-
uspected, with the spoils of bis dishonest act
bont bim; lor If he had got olf with tbe firtt
attempt in that direction, he would have
sooner or later been brought to justice and
condign punishment for some other similar
act, which he would surely have committed.
Next season he would have probably gone to
Montana, where be would have been hung; or
e might bave fallen into the hands of the
Walla Walla Vigilantes, by whom he would
are been shot. His conviction secures him
from either of these dreadful contingencies,
nd bis term of Bervice will give bim a suffi
cient time for meditation on the past, and to
form good resolutions for the future. If be
manifests tbe proper spirit while in confine
ment, be may reasonably expect to experience
executive clemency, in restoring bim to citi
zenship, if not in shortening bis term of im-
risonment. On the other band. Frank Jones
ill have seven years in which to practice
some useful bandicuft, and form himself to
habits of industry. He will, during that time,
ave abundant opportunity to reflect upon tbe
t-inousness of his offence, and build up that
moral basis of character which will prevent
him from acting the part o an amanuensis to
gentleman without his consent.
Whkn Tin llovs Cons Snkakino Hohi.
Some months since the proud spectacle of
hundreds' of thousands of returning soldiers
was presented ta the people of tbe United
States. The march of Suerraar.'s army, and
many corps of the Army of tbe Potomac,
through the streets of Washington was a prac
tical realization of tbe song, " When Johnny
comes Marching Home."' For four years this
had. been sang by millions of mothers, wives,
sisters and sweethearts, and At last nearly all
tbe "Johnnies," left alive from tbe dreadful
battle fields of the South, bare returned borne.
There was Another Army of " Johnnies,"' which
consisted of recusant conscripts, And others
who would not stay to seo themselves con
scripted. These men bad invaded Canada,
o-nd carried their arms as far away from home
as possible. Of late tbe significant ansottnee
ment has beeowmade that "there is a large
immigration to the United States, from Can
ada." Tbe cursory reader will fail to see the
irony Id this, but when .informed that these
immigrants to our country were once emi
grants, be will be able to grasp the jnke in
all its dimensions. Most of these " Johnnies "
ill return to the ranks of civil life, some
what sobered in their political views, and will
pretty generally make good citizens in times
of peace.
