Among the lutest of these rumbrs are that Mr. Gould has secured the Lake Bhore & Michigan Southern, and also that he fs about to purchase or bbtain control of the Central Pacific Raflroad. Both these ru. mors arc 80 intensely absurd and sensational that the true reason for ipreading them can readily be scen by any one not entirely desoid of common sense. It has been known for the tast six mouths that Jny Gould fs piuched, having suffered great losses In stock rpeculs tloos.

It Cannot Be Had in the Federal Courts. Men Who Bpend a Year in Jail Before Arraignment, ‘The right to a ““speedy trial,” which 1s sup- posed to he granted by law to every criminal, and which Is one of the bossted privileges al- leged to fluw from onr republican {nstitations, Is a very pretty sounding phrase, theoretically and of ftself, but In actusl practice has come to be looked upon as more or less of a nullity. A fair sample of “‘the law’s delay" may be had by & glance at the criminat business of the Fed- eral Courts. A potty offender is arrested, say for counterfeiting, or gutting mail-bags, or sclling liquor on the ely, without a Ii- cense. tHe s yanked up before Hoyoe, beld to await the actlon of the next Grand Jury, finds it impossible to give bail, and fs taken over the river, where he does await the action of the Grand Jury, and generally awalts it a long time, too. In fact. he wmay walt around until ho has served out the timo which a ver- dict of guilty for his offense would have enti- tled bim to. 1t the period of tncarceration is lesa, he Is “allowed® so much on bis sentence. I 1t should happen to be cqual, his sentence Is practically nullified. But this, of course, is on the supposition that ne is guiity, snd that the petit jury so finds him. It is quite possible, bowever, to imagine a case In which the innocent might drag out his time in_jail, waiting for & Graud Jury to pass_on his case and an opportunity to be tried. Then, i finally uitted, he can grin and bear {t with the tion of a martyr and the conscluusnens, for , that there ia no drawback check, as it were, no alluwance, no re- course, no anytulog, This is an extremo casc, to be sure, but the principle of the thing holds good and demauds a reform {n the method of crinlnal proceediogs which shall make thbe “‘speedy trial” no hollow mockery, no windy promise, but sn sctual guarantue of a uot dis- tant reality. And = THE FIRST STEF IN THE WAY OP REFORM can only cume from s more frequent calling of a Federal Grand Jury, At present this matter of calliog juries resis wholl { within the discre- tlon of the Court, Sec. 810 of the Revised ntat- utes laying down the law as to the summoniig of Urand Jurors after the following fashion: The Grand Jury shall be sammoned to attend any Circult or District Court uniess one of tho Judgas of such Clrcait Court, or the Judge of such dlatrict, in hls own discretion, or upon a nutifica- tlon by tuc District Attorney, that such jury wiil be needed, orders a venire to lesue therefor. And eitherof the said Conrts may In turn order & Grand Jury to be summoned at such time, and to serve such time, as it may direct, wheneverin its Judgment it may be proper to do so. But nothing herein ahnil operate to cxtend beyond the time permiited by Iaw the Imprisonment befors innict- ment found of a person accused of & crime or of- feuse, of the time donug which a person 8o accused ;u-y ;w held under recogulzauce before indictment ound., The Jast Federal Grand Jury was thaflrst called within a year. ON ThE 23D OF JANUARY last a man by the usme of CHARLES A NAMUTI was arrested for stealing letiers, He was ac- corden u preliminary hearing tefore Hoyne, was beld fn bail which be could not furnish, and of conrse went to jail, He has been there ever sluce, and Lias a nrospect of remalning there un- til some time o January or February, when the petit jury in the District Court will bégin to grind out erjininal cases at tho rate of ono or more u day. The late Grand Jury returned an indictincul inat kim Uct. 15, but, for sl that, It will have been a year from his arrest before bie zets the *speedy trial?’ granted by law. The penaity of being unable to get Lall, it will b seen, 18 sometimes not to be lightly conmdered ; and it s equally outrageous that, where one does et batl, one must wait monthssud months to know one's fate at the Grana Jurs's hands, and months and montbs therealter, In case of indictment. for his trial.
