We denounce ihe act of getting one convict to hunt up another its unworthy ft sane man, but if the thing ii to be repeated we insist that Watkinds change clothes with the con Tict, to prevent. attention to his prison costume.

Statssrum : So you have gone and told them where to look for me, but, then, who cares. I don't intend to vamose the ranch until I eat Dp two acres more of strawberries and gnaw through that shackle that's trying to gnaw through my leg. I'd have thought more of Bill if be hadn't loaded me down so much heavier than ho did the rest ; but 1 understand what the object of that w te, be wanted me to behave good, and give then a chance to pardon me out, but you see I had a reputation to suBlain, and a pretty thing the boys in my line wonld have had on me if tbey could have proved that I went to State Prison and was pardoned out as genuine Jobr.ny Good boy. No eir-ee, that's not my style. I expect to be a cracksman without blemish of character, and it a man who has broken into every place he wanted to can't break out of a wooden paling, or a one-horse Penitentiary, such as Watkinds runs, he had better give up bis calling and try to make an honest living. HT IDBA OF BUSINESS. T broke ont as I did just to keep up tny professional reputation, and to prove to my pals that the strong ties that bound me and Watkinds together as Democrats and personal friends and we were warm ones couldn't ia terfere with- business relations of long standing. Now, there were particular reasons why I could get along well with him, for be bas a natural respect for a man of my talents, and only that he bas chosen the more rascally but less honorable trade of politics, be might have done well in our line. Yon see that we dare and share alike, and what meanness a man does, as a cracks man, is all for himself, but a cove who does the dirty work. for politicians takes desperate chances of not getting bis share, and be bas to be a worse knave than any of us. I've been im ported and exported often enough about election times to know bow they manage, and I must say that many of us in the Penitentiary have been more honest than some of those coves who deserve to be there for the illegal things they have done, and tbey are put into office because they did 'em. That's what puzzles some ot us. The law is only for rascals outside of politics it seems. BHCLTZ DiriKDS HIS FRIEND. To come down to the right of the matter and do bim justice, the Super intendent bas qualities that I admire, aid I ain't a bad judge of a man. He don't put on no foolish frills about honor, and be don't lose all respect for a man that bas been catcbed in tricks, if be wasn't catcbed too easy. Me and bim never had no trouble, and I'd as lief have bim tor a pal to-morrow, if be would quit his foolishness and go into regular business, as any man 1 know, and I take occasion now to make bim the proposal. lie hasn't cot quite enough sense, and that story of his being scared by a mare mule is hefty, bnt tben I've got sense enough for two, and we'd do well enough if he won't get scared till I do. You see the valuable quality in him is bis wil lingness to do as he's told, and I could make money out of it. A COMPARATIVE CSTIMATI. When Maj. Berry was in charge be never had much to say, but kinder walked around and looked dangerous. That mare mule never scared him. He was a man we prisoners never could make a companion of, and they were all afraid of bim, because be looked as if he knew a great deal, and that al ways scares us folks. The difference between 'em is all in Bill's favor, he talks all the time, whether he bas any thing to say or not. The prisoners all feel glad to have him aronnd, be cause they learn something. Tbey peak friendly of him to each other, and call bim " Bill Watkinds," easy like, and they tell over all the clever election dodges he's doie, and most of 'em allow they are sharper than any of their own doings. Tbey are rather proud of him in fact, and all think he'd beat me in my line, but, you. see, I knows better. Now, Maj. Berry was a powerful sight different ; be hadn't much appreciation for talent, and the men always spoke af him cool and civ il like, as " The Major." He didn't make no warm friends among the reg ular boarders. You're mistaken about Watkinds not being the man for the place. Every single man there, includ ing rae and Matt Bledsoe, will tell you different. Shcltz. P. S. I add a line to repeat that I don't forgive Bill for bis bragging so eternally over the rest of us about bis Democracy. We was, all of ns. Dem ocrats, and he knowed it, but be bad the whip naod of us and kept boasting about himself. Now, the fact is, that Democracy was what took us all there; ours put us on the inside, and bis'n got bim a show on the outside, but as long as we was all there togethe, birds of a feather, be bad no right to brag to al fired much. Shultz. The Caterpillar Matter. Salem, Orsoor, June 12, 1871. Editob Statrsmar: Will you pub lisb this in your useful paper for tbe information of your many readers? Prevention of disease is said to be better than to pay doctor's bills and run the risk of losing tbe patient. The orchard ist can prevent tbe production of tbe woxm caterpillar by closely examining tbe limbs of his fruit trees in any win ter month. This worm does not repro duce itself, but at tbe proper age throws off ita worm form and becomea a beau tiful butterfly with black stripes on the wings. This butterfly during tbe sum mer and fall months makes a ring aronnd a limb of the fruit tree about the size of a man's finger, and on tbe inside of this ring, of a gummy sub stance, she makes a great many little cells in which she lays ber eggs, and they are dormant during the winter months. In the mean time tbe orchard ist may at pleasure take a suitable lad aer ana examine bis trees and cut loose all these rings and burn them inus you may aave your fruit and "Woman is a delusion, madam 1' exclaimed a crusty old bachelor t , witty young lady.

Lister, who was for seventeen years a citizen of Lane county, now a resident in the Ochoco Valley, called upon us last Monday. He reports the lire stock in that country as looking well, and notwithstanding the backward spring the grass is remarkably fine. His farm is located on McKay's Creek, a branch of the Crooked river, and has for a neighbor the Rev. Mr. Willson, formerly pastor of one of our city churches. Mr. L. crossed tbe mountains by the Leba non road and found about twelve miles of snow, which is fast disappearing. He met several large droves of stock on their way to Eastern Oregon. Tbe mail facili ties for tbat portion of Oregon are bad, or rather tbey have no facilities at all ; the nearest office being at tbe Dalles, 100 miles distant, and for their mail matter tbe people of Tygh Creek valley. Oak Grove, Warm Spring Reservation, Big and Little Creek, Ochoco, etc., have to rely upon the passing traveler. A mail contract was advertised and let last spring for that section of the country, but the Government decided to abandon tbe route, not deeming tbe country thickly enough settled to have a regular mail. The tide of emigration is setting in so strongly this spring tbat it is absolutely necessary that steps be Ukcu at once to regulate this matter Tehferance Cacbe. During the pro ceedings yesterday the following resolution was adopted by the Grand Lodge, I. 0. of G. T. Raolrtd : That while we regard the Christian Church and Ministry as especially called upon to lead in the great temperance reform, wo cordially welcome and recognize as eo-laborers all of whatever organisation or name who are working to secure Total Abstinence from all tbat intoxicates and the legal suppression of the liquor traffic, and we invite tbeir hearty co-operation. The Tellceiob. We have seen the working of this astronomical instrbment which professor L. Cary bas with him to as sist his lectures on that science, and also has for sale. By ingenious mechanical ar rangement this apparatus represents the exact revolution of tbe earth and moon, tbe peculiar orbits of each, and the length of days and nights and the space of the earth in lightandshadowatanyday in the year. The value of this for tbe purpose ot illustration is sustained by testimonials from all the faculty of the Willamette University well as by the certificates of President Campbell, of Monmouth, and of tbe pro fessors of Philomath and the Corvallis Col lege. Professor Cary intends to deliver leetures on astronomy to be illustrated by the action of this apparatus aad to canvass for the sale of the same to the different in stitutions of Oregon. He will probably lecture in this eity next week. Tbe eard of tbe faculty of the University is published elsewhere. Festival. The lad ics of tbe Orphan's Homo Society, give a festival Ibis even ing in the Legislative Hall. . It is a question if we have in our city an institu tion tbat is more deserving of the patronage of our cititens than this one. There are at present four children at the Orphan's Home aad four more are offered, and the festival for this evening is for the purpose of rais ing a portion of the amount necessary for their maintenance. It is hoped that there will bo a good turn out. An admission fee of twonty-fivo cents will be taken at tbe door. r ' A CARD. , . Salem. Ogs.. June I3tb, 187L, To IloD. L. F. Graver, T. M.

By vote of the Society they will repeat the concert of June 6th. en Monday even ing, June 19th, with some ehangc of pro gramme. Kespeetirully yours, C. N. Terrv, Pres. S. M. Cooke, Secretary. From Above. Mr. A. J. Hamilton, of Polk county, has just returned from an ex tended trip through Lane county, visiting on his route Clovcrdalo, Pleasant Hill, and Il&illey A Owen's ranch of 7,A0O acres on Coyote Creek.

This mill is still running, as small lots of wheat are continually coming in. The prospects are that they will have enough wheat to keep them going during the present week, when they will shut down for repairs, as stated several davs ago.

The track was finisli ed to Ilarrisburg, night before last, and it is expected that regular passenger and freight trains will be put on next week, to that point. . Road Work. Commissioner F. G. Schwatka, yesterday commenced work on tho Silverton road, also on the Stanton road just outsido the of tho city limits. Mr. S. is making a thorough and efficient officer. The Commercial Hotel, under the man agement of Mr. Wesley Graves, is daily growing in popularity. Besides his largo transient custom he has, we are informed, upward of fifty regular boarders. Scio. From Mr. A. T. Powell, of Scio, we leurn tbat tbat section of the country is prosperous, and that tho Wkkklt States man is growing daily in popularity. T HURSDAY. An I'rgcnt Sccesslly. It has been from a faithful and un prejudiced appreciation of tbe charac ter of the present incompetent and every way unworthy man who fills, or pretends to fill, tbe respousible position of Superintendent of the State Peni tentiary, that we have lately under taken in various legitimate ways to expose him to the public. We have really assnmed, in these articles, to establish tbat his proper place is on the inside of the Penitentiary instead of being its Superintendent. Recent events, which have to be decided by tbe Courts, sustain this opinion, and by his own act W. II. Watkinds has enrolled bis name on tbe criminal cal endar. The credit of the State is involved in the character of the men who fill responsible positiona under it, and whatever party may be in power owes it to the Suit , as well as itself, to pub lic integrity as well as to mere expes 'iency, tbat ruffianism aid crime shall uot i- promoted to any office of honor or trust. A few plain facts may rot be amiss. This man Watkinds baa a multitude of enemies in his own party, and could not possibly be elected to any office within tbe gift of the people, and tbe most appreciative readers of our com ments upon bim have been Democrats. His late conduct of tbe Penitentiary shows an entire want . of good sense, governing power and discretion, and the Democratic party can furnish many men entirely qualified for tbe position by moral worth as well as practical ex perience. We bad no doubt tbat he would dis grace himself and the State when be was appointed, but party necessity- pblinded the appointing power, and has led to tbe present situation, and no one need be told what is tbe urgent necessity to which we allude in this article. ShuHi Speaks Briefly. KsarEastSalkm School lloisg, ) Where I Keep my Bbead and l CllKESE. J Ed. Statesman : I don't know when I ever felt madder than I did yester day when I learned from a friend, who was down in town, -that yon and Wat kinds bad bad a row, and tbat nobody was seriously damaged. I knowed when I read your articles about bim, charging him with being afeard of a mare mule, that Bill wonld rear and faunch to a lively tune, and thought tbat If he bad tbe spunk of a louse he would resent it, honorably, by cowhiding you, of xourse ; but I bad no idea he would crawl up behind as little a man as yau are to do it. Al) things considered, it was one of the ejni o n f,EM, OREGON, dial rt'ntingest bloody rows that eTer I h 'ill of. Now, in tbe first place, be t stood up face to you and in vitei -. i to be tanned, and then as howj bein' a editor, and made for that Vjise, yon orter stood and took it, but instead, I he am that yon drawed a pocket knife on him, cut his whip is too, and was carving bim up in slices when he palled out a six-shooter and blazed away four times and didn't bit yon good nary once. COPI OF GOOD MORALS. Let me tell yon what's what. In the fust place he should a waited 'till you growed to near hia site, so as to give yon a fair show, Tben he sbonld a stood up fair and fit, and when yoa cut his whip in two, which warreglar, be should have given you a polite In vite to stand still 'till some of bis cubs got another. Tbe shooting was so wild that it made old clothes of a lot of new store goods, and bis crawling op and poking bis gun through a crack and shooting you in tbe back and not mak ing a center shot was the allfiredest, dogondest, most worthless thing I ever beered of. I withdrsw my offer of partnership from this roinit. for If be can't hit anything smaller than a bser barrel he aint do use to me Just one word more. I intend to keep clear of tbat Penitentiary , if only to avoid having bim for company. It's bad enrmgh to have him on the outside, and to have bis company inside as looks lik-lv well, I won't stand it. That's all I have to say of that. I'm too mad to say more to-night.

Approaching the Columbia from tbe ocean the traveler fails northward along a mountain range that gives no indications of the valleys which Isy in land. The shores and the mountains beyond are covered with dense fir for ests and though seemingly inhospitable and a mere mountain wilderness there is a great extent of valuable country to be developed along tbe bays and in lets which line tbe coast, and as tbe mountains themselves are prospected it becomes evident that a large amount of valuable land invites cultivation in the coast range and that in time a great portion of what now is considered comparatively worthless land will be settled and cultivated and become among tbe most valuable lands and beautiful homes upon tbe Pacific coast. Tbe value of tbe coast country is be coming every day more appreciated as the lumber trade increases and coal and mibersl deposits are discovered upon the hays and rivrs. Thriving settlements are developing the lumber and coal interests of Coos Bay and Co quille river, Port Orford. Ellenburg, Hcottsburg, Siletz Bay, and Tillamook Bay, all invite tbe attention of 1. bor and capital to similar pursuits. THE COLTMBIA BIVgB. Entering tbe Columbia river tbe voy ager gathers no idea of tbe agricul tural character of our State as be sails up the spacious harbor, past Astoria, perched mainly on the mountain side, and ascends the grand sweep of waters winding constantly through densely woodel shores, no mark of settlement being visable, save the noisy clatter v f tbe saw-mills that occasionally vary tbe scene, aad the silent hamlets estab lished by the increasing fisheries. Ex cept for these scattered indications of man's presence, and the occasional garden spot and orchard planted bes side some wood yard, the region seems as dreary and silent a wilderness as in tbe olden times, save tbat the river bears upon its bosom to-day tbe bu.y steamer, tbe more somber steamship from off the ocean and the fleet of sail ing vessels enticed thither by the grow injr commerce of the New Northwest. These replace tbe fleet of light canoes tbat user! aforetime to sail upon expe ditions of war or peace, and the white man's improvements are instead of the Indian villages to which distance lent enchantment to the olden time. Tbe traces of Indian life have almost disap peared, but tbe whole region is scarce less a wilderness to-day than when the Iudian called it all his own. Such is tbe Columbia, broken at Kalama by tbe glaring newness of tbe work com-, meoced by tbe North Pacific Railroad Co., and tbe little towns that lay claim to tnaralime importance above it. The. Columbia bottoms and Sanvie's Island give room for successful agricul ture about tbe mouto ef the Willam ette river, but tbe mountain shores of the Cascade range is close in beyond them and wall in the river with precip itous shores which in tbeir rugged maj esty present, to the eyes of the tourist, tbe grandest scenery to be found upon our continent. THE VALLEY OF WESTERN OREGON. The Coast Range of mountains seo tinel the waters of the Pacific Oceen from Puget Sound to Lower California, and parallel with them, and not dis tant, rises the most rugged range upon tbe continent, known to the north ward as tbe Cascades and to tbe south as the Sierra Nevadas, and between these two ranges lie tbe beautiful val leys which constitute the greater bulk of the agricultural resources of tie Pacific Coast. Iu California so situa ted are tbe valleys of the Sacramento and San Joaquin and tbe other valleys of that State, and sroing northward me find Rogue River Valley in Southern Oregon, the valley of tbe Umpqua still further north, and greatest ot all, and incomparably tbe most extensive and tbe most valuable in our Slate, the valley of tbe Willamette, wblch river empties into tbe Columbia abont one hundred miles from its mouth and the valley of which occupies the intervale between tbe Cascades and Coast range, a region at least forty miles wide by one hundred and twenty-five long, with a variety of fertile soil, alternate bill and prairie, descriptions ot which have given to tbe world tbe opinion it bas received of Oregon, for hitherto tbe Willamette Valley baa been Oregon. IA8TIBR ORKOOI. The greater bulk of onr State lies east of tbe Cascade range and the usual approach to it is by tbe Columbia river. Here, stretching north and south more than three hundred miles and covering a country larger in extent than thd State of New York is a region as vaiied as it is extensive, whose val leys cluster around tbe spurs of tbe Blue mountains, whose seemingly des ert plains afford endless pasturage, and whose mountains are rich with mines of gold and silver. To tbe southward of this eastern stretch of comparatively independent Territory is the wide and valuable lake country now rapidly be coming an object of interest to settlers. This wide region has an important part to play in Oregon's future, and cannot be described in a paragraph. A flood of emigration is pouring into Eastern Oregon and tbe prospect is that soon it will assume a much great er importance in connection with the affairs of our State. It will be our object to do all possible justice lo tbe great natural advantages and unlimit ed resources tbat invite development there. From tob Bohemia Mikes. R. J.Ladd, of this eity, returned last evening from tbe Bohemia mines, whither he went recently for tbe purpose of completing arrangemeuts for getting tbe quarts mill over tbe moun tains and into the mining camp where the ledges are situated, which Mr. Joreph Knott and others of this eity are preparing to operate. The mill left Eugene City yes terday morning. Tbe distance to the mine from Kugeue City is about twenty-aix miles, by Ah route which Mr. Ladd trav eled, an 1. over which a road has been con structed by the Company.

Frm the Walla Walla Union of June 10th we glean tho following : Hurdy houses have now to pay $300 city and county license quarterly iu advance. On last Saturday morning the mountains and foot bills, low down their sides, wero covered with snow. The ground remained whitened during tho day. At the saw-milt of Urecn i Fall, sixteen miles from town, the snow was rix inches deep at seven o'clock in the morning, and more coming. It was three inches deep at Reed A Haw ley's mill, and in various depths in other places. As it was not cold and the snow only remained on tha ground during tho day, no damage was done. The weather has been warm most of the week. , The engine, boiler and machinery for tbe new steam saw-mill of Moore, Chapman A Co.. were hauled through town on Wednes day, en route to the mill site, direct from Chicago. In thirty days run, Reed A Hawley cut 270,000 feet of luml.er at their mill in the ISIuo Mountains. There is lots of lumber of all grades in the various yards now. The Masons of this vicinity have or ganized a Royal Arch Chapter of the Order. They are prospering. New wagons, mowers, reapers, headers, horse rakes, threshers, horse forks, etc., arc daily started for the field of their future operations, indicating the coming of an abundant harvest and tbe prosperity of our farmers. i;atera Oregon. From the Baker City Democrat of Juno 10th we learn the following: Mr. Fernald, of Rye Valley, called on us the other day and reports that the min ing season will not lat a great while longer in bis camp ; but that the miners generally have done moderately well np to this time We learn that tho Ditch now being con structed by Packwood A Cj., in tho Eagle Creek country, has a forco of seventy-five or eighty men at work on it, and that over seven miles of the Ditch is completed.

Mrs. Place, No. 1, has left the city and gone on a prospecting tour her son-in-law having a notion of buying a ranch and settling in Oregon. For some days past the weather has been exceedingly fine in this valley. One day this week we examined a piece of wood which had been painted by Mr. W. C. Miller of this place, a beautiful red color. He informs us that the material of which tbe paint was made or rather tbe basis of it was taken from a miue or ledge of it in Auburn, four feet thick, and run ning downwards, li c a quartz ledge does usually. Mr. Miller bas painted several articles with it, uud bas quite thoroughly j tested it, and he statu that it is equally as good if not better than the best of ml lea l for painting purposes. So well convinced is he of its excellence that he bas taken the necessary steps to secure it for himself. Sriii-TZ Melaxgk.

Affray. Yesterday afternoon there oc curred on Commercial street an affray in which the editor of this paper was cowhided nml shot, but fortunately the cowhide only bit bis hat and tbe bullet glanced with out afflicting a dangerous wound. The would-be murder and assassin was com forted and furnished with $1,000 bail to ap pear before J. J. Murphy, J. P., this morn ing for examination. Tho cowhiding was a failure and wo were enjoying a nice time on the defensive, driving the assailant bp foro a pocket knife, when tho other man, who is tho fellow Shulti brags so on, pulle I out a revolver, firing four times wi'liin ten paces and only making one hit. That is tin- poorest shooting on record, and it is the purest sham in the world for such a man to go about hunting for Sbultx. If he was to find Shultz he would run faster than he ever did from a mare mule. As this affair is to come before tbe Courts we do not choose to give any fuller statement save to say that the attack was made un expectedly, entirely so, and tho cowardly red headed scoundrel struck from behind, and struck a man that goes unarmed.

While he was quarreling with Henry, Thomas lire J at bim and he drew a derringer and shot him and then had a running combat with both the brothers, being shot by Thomas four times.

From tbe Jacksonville Sentinel and the Timet of June 10th we cull as follows: Tbe BSewning quarts mill is still crush ing quartz at the lead oa Grave Creek, about four miles above Leland. The pro prietors think the prospects are better for good yield of gold tbis time than at any previous crushing. Tbey have been very enterprising, and merit success. Our farmers exult In the prospect of nortnous crops of grain. They are com mencing to eut bay. Tbe new comers who still cross our bor- lers in large numbers are inquiring after land, and endeavoring to establish them selves in our valley. Among tbe number we are pleased to meet Mr. Wait, a brother f ex-Chief Justice Wait, who has jnst ar rived from the East, and is much pleased with the climate and soil of this valley. We have met W. J. Cooksie and J. B. Mc Daniel from Goose Lake Valley. They speak in encouraging terms of that section. The grass is excellent and stock in fine con dition, and the baying season is about commencing and large quantities will be put np this year. They report many immi grants this Spring settling in the valley. Portland. From the Portland dailies of the 14th inst. we take the following : The linlUtin states tbat tbe cargo of the California, which sailed for Victoria on tbe 1th inst., was valued at $5,704.40. Same paper states that a man named Ma- . luney, at the Dalles, attempted to commit suicide by bleeding himself to death. Ex cessive drinking was the cause. The Oregon Ironworks bas taken a con tract for heavy bridge irons, to bo used in the construction of tbe railroad bridge, at Ilarrisburg. The Oregonian states that a cable dis patch was received yesterday afternoon by Smith A Davis, from their correspondent in London, announcing the loss of the ship Iltimani, from Liverpool. This ship bas been due at tbis port over a month, and her arrival has been anxiously awaited by ber consignees, Messrs. Janioo A Rhodes. No particulars of tbe loss were given, but it is presnmcd to be total. Tbe Congregational Church, at a meet ing the other day, raised nesrly $1,600 tow ards clearing off tbeir indebtedness. The Oregimiau also states thst the plan of the new Court fur Marion eoanty, drawn by Burton A Piper, of Portland, indicates a fine building, to cost $60,000. The Herald says the steamer Annie Stewart is laid up for repairs. Same paper states if the river con tinues rising at the same rate of increase for the next forty-eight hours tbat it has the past.

The ladies of tbe Orphan's Aid Society, desire to tender their thanks to the many friends who so kindly manifested by their presence at the Hall last night, their sym pathy for the four dependent, yet interest ing little wards, now nnder their care, and especially to tbe honorable members of the Grand Lodge of I. O. G. T., who by tbeir kind presence and assistance, showed that in tbeir self-sacrificing labors "to save tbe fallen acd prevent others from falling" into drunkenness and ruin, tbey do not for-, get the fatherless and tbe orphan, but are ready aud willing for every good work. May tbey have success in tbeir laudable mission and the determination "to move immediatc!y on Ihe enemies works." Mrs. t. C. Adams, Secretary. Selk PsrsNSR In allusion to the recent affray, tbe Unitein denounces it in a very sensible manner, alludes to the fact tbat tbe editor of tbis paper is a man of " very Blight frame and very nervous temperament," which is un fortunately for ns, entirely correct. It adds that " Clarke is supposed to be a non-combatant," which we beg to es pecially deny. Having been once tak en entirely unawares, many years ago, and made the victim of ruffianism, we learned a lesson of the necessity of self-defense that will last a lifetime. We have proven the advantage of it several timet since, and ' slight" and nervons " as we are, we managed to drive a cowhide off a twelve foot side- ' walk tbe other day, with a common pocket knife. Never expecting to at- tack any one, we shall never hesitate ' upon self-defense in case of need. An Atrocious Affair at Salem. ; From a person wbo left Salem on the evening train yesterday we obtain an account of a shooting affair at that place. The account as we nave it states tbat W. H. Watkinds, Superin tendent of tbe Penitentiary, having taken umbrage at something printed in tbe Statesman regarding tbe escape of Sbults, attacked 8 "A. Clarke, editor of tbat paper, with a eowbfde, having at tbe same time a pistol with which to intimidate Clarke, or, In case of resistance on bis part, to shoot him. ' When Watkinds began to nse the cows hide Clarke drew a knife to defend him self, when tbe former fired two or three shots, one of which struck the latter in fho side or back. Bow se vere tbe wound was onr informant' could not learn. Mr. Clarke was placed in carriage and taken home. If anything could exceed tbis atroci ty we cannot imagine trhat it is. By tbis act Watkinds has proven himself k bally, a lawbreaker, a criminal, fitter; by far for a cell io tbe Penitentiary . than for a Superintend over that in-, stitution. There is a special a tat ale in tbe Criminal Code which pfescribea a a heavy punishment for even attempts' iog to use a cowhide upon another, while having a pistol or other deadly weapon for tbe purpose of intimida tion. . " We have not heard whether Wat kinds hat yet been arretted, or not.' Should tbe injuries whi-h Mr. Clarke' bas received prove fa al the act of Watkinds wonld be nothing lose than enarder. When a man whose office is to have charge of criminals turns crim-i ioal himself and com mils inch an act of atrocity as "this It is surely time to visit' the severest condemnation on an administration which placet tbe most important affairs al the Slate in sech unwortby bands.
