# Constab Ballads/Knutsford Park Races

Batch o’ p’licemen, lookin’ fine, Tramp away to de car line; No more pólicemen can be
Smart as those from Half Way Tree: Happy, all have happy faces, For ’tis Knutsford Park big races.
No room in de tram fe stan’: “Oh! de races will be gran’,— Wonder ef good luck we’ll hab, Get fe win a couple bob!” Joyous, only joyous faces, Goin’ to de Knutsford races.
Motor buggy passin’ by, Sendin’ dus’ up to de sky; P’licemen, posted diffran’ place, Buy dem ticket on de race: Look now for de anxious faces At de Knutsford Park big races!
Big-tree boys a t’row dem dice: “P’lice te-day no ha’ no v’ice,— ​All like we, so dem caan’ mell,— Mek we gamble laka hell”: Rowdy, rowdy-looking faces At de Knutsford Park big races.
Ladies white an’ brown an’ black, Fine as fine in gala frock, Wid dem race-card in dem han’ Pass ’long to de dollar stan’: Happy-lookin’ lady faces At de Knutsford Park big races.
Ge’men wid dem smart spy-glass, Well equip’ fe spot dem harse, Dress’ in Yankee-fashion clo’es, Watch de flag as do’n it goes: Oh! de eager, eager faces At de Knutsford Park big races!
Faces of all types an’ kinds, Faces showin’ diffran’ minds, Faces from de udder seas— Right from de antipodes: Oh! de many various faces Seen at Knutsford Park big races!
Jockeys lookin’ quite dem bes’, In deir racin’ clo’es all dress’ ​(Judge de feelin’s how dem proud) Show de harses to de crowd: Now you’ll see de knowin’ faces At de Knutsford Park big races.
Soldier ban’, formed in a ring, Strike up “God save our king”; Gub’nor come now by God’s grace To de Knutsford Park big race: High faces among low faces At de Knutsford Park big races.
Ladies, ’teppin’ up quite cool, Buy dem tickets at de pool; Dough ’tis said he’s got a jerk, Dere’s no harse like Billie Burke: Look roun’ at de cock-sure faces At de Knutsford Park big races.
Hey! de flag is gone do’n, oh! Off at grips de harses go! Dainty’s leadin’ at a boun’, Stirrup-cup is gainin’ ground’: Strainin’, eager strainin’ faces At de Knutsford Park big races.
Last day o’ de race—all’s done, An’ de course is left alone; Everybody’s goin’ home, Some more light dan when dey’d come: Oh! de sad, de bitter faces After Knutsford Park big races!
# Constab Ballads/Last Words of the Dying Recruit

Where’s you’ tender han’, mumma, Dat would fingle up me jaw When de fever burned so deep, An’ A couldn’ get no sleep?
Where’s de voice me love’ to hear Whisp’rin’ sweetest words o’ cheer?— Voice dat taught me A B C As me leaned ’pon mumma’s knee.
Look de ’panish-needle grass Growin’ by de gully pass! Is dat fe me ducky hen Cacklin’ roun’-a rabbit pen?
Hea’ de John-t’whits in-a glee Singin’ in de mammee tree! Listen, comin’ up de dale Chirpin’s o’ de nightingale!
All de chune dem die away:— Do you see de shinin’ ray On da’ tiny buttercup? ’Tis de sun a-comin’ up. ​Now’s full time fe me to wake, ’Causen we ha’ bread fe bake; Git up, Sam, you lazy wretch, For de beas’ dem fe go ketch:
Ef you ’low de sun fe grow, Grass-lice wi’ sure mek you know; S’arch up to de ole-groun’ side, For de jack wi’ ’tan’ deh hide.
Mumma, me wan’ go a school, Te-day we gwin’ play tom-fool: Quick! Gi’e me my book an’ slate, For I doana want fe late.
Sister, wha’ de doctor t’ink? Say mumma a lower sink? Lard! ef she gwin’ go lef’ we, Wha’ de use o’ life fe me?
Sister, sister, a no true, Mumma caan’ dis dead ’way so; Sister, sister, leave me ’lone, Me won’ believe dat she gone.
Ah! no fe her own han’ now Restin’ on me fevered brow? Mumma, lay me ’pon you’ breas’, Mek me get a drop o’ res’. ​Mumma!—a whe’ mumma deh? Mumma!—mumma gone away? Gone, oh gone is eberyt’ing, But de funny fancies cling.
Aye, t’enk God, me mumma come! Ma, no lef’ me, tek me home; Tek me from de awful strife Of dis miserable life.

United States Supreme Court
94 U.S. 202
Commissioners of Johnson County v. January
ERROR to the Circuit Court of the United States for the District of Kansas.
The case is stated in the opinion of the court.
Mr. Nelson Cobb for the plaintiffs in error.
The bonds in question derive no validity from the act of Feb. 25, 1868, as it was expressly repealed by the fourth section of the act of Feb. 27, 1869, without any saving clause as to pending proceedings. The election, ordered when the former law was in force, not having been held until after the last law took effect, was, with all the subsequent action to which it gave rise, unauthorized and void. Aspinwall v. Commissioners of Daveiss County, 22 How. 364; Covington, &c. Railroad Co. v. Kenton, 12 B. Mon. (Ky.) 144. Their issue was not authorized by the act of 1869, as after its passage no election was ordered, and the county is not estopped from contesting their validity, especially when their recitals show an absence of legal authority for the doings of the board in the premises. Marsh v. Fulton County, 10 Wall. 676.
The plaintiff below was not therefore a bona fide holder of the bonds in question. This court has repeatedly held that paper otherwise negotiable, which on its face shows that which should arouse suspicion and put the taker upon inquiry, cannot be so transferred as to cut off defences which would have been available against the original holder. Fowler v. Brantly, 14 Pet. 318; Goodman v. Simonds, 20 How. 343; Angle v. North-western Mutual Life Insurance Co., 92 U.S. 330; Harshman v. Bates County, id. 569.
The subsequent acts of the county do not estop it from setting up the defences upon which it relies in this suit. Bigelow on Estoppel, p. 80; Clark v. Session, 22 N. Y. 312; Langdon v. Dowd, 10 Allen, 423; Freeman v. Cooke, 2 Exch. Rep. 644; Howard v. Hudson, 2 El. & Bl. 1; Anderson v. Lyon, 11 Allen, 349; Wells v. Truesdell, 6 Pick. 455. The only interest paid on the bonds was that paid to the plaintiff below. The delivery of the certificates of stock was necessary to complete the subscription, and was, like it, void. The registration by the State auditor on the application of the holder of the bonds was without notice or knowledge of the county or its officers. Upon neither of these facts, therefore, can the doctrine of estoppel have any application.
Mr. James Grant, contra.
MR. JUSTICE SWAYNE delivered the opinion of the court.

# Commissioners of Douglas County v. Bolles

United States Supreme Court
94 U.S. 104
Commissioners of Douglas County v. Bolles
ERROR to the Circuit Court of the United States for the District of Kansas.
This was an action by Matthew Bolles and M. Shepard Bolles against the board of county commissioners of the county of Douglas, Kansas, upon sundry coupons attached to certain bonds issued by the county. The facts are stated in the opinion of the court.
The following questions of law arose, upon which the judges of the court below were divided in opinion:--
1. Whether, as respects the bonds dated July 1, 1869, and the coupons in suit originally attached to said bonds, there was authority and power in the board of county commissioners of the county to issue said bonds under the act of Feb. 10, 1865, recited in the bonds and other acts of the legislature of the State of Kansas, including the act of Feb. 25, 1868.
2. Whether the bonds mentioned in the preceding question are void in the hands of a holder for value without actual notice, because the vote on the question of subscribing stock and issuing bonds was had Sept. 12, 1865, before the organization of the company known as the St. Louis, Lawrence, and Denver Railroad Company was made in 1868, to which company the stock was subscribed in 1868, and the bonds were issued and delivered in 1871.
3. Said bonds having been issued upon the facts as found, was the issue of them illegal and invalid in such a sense as to devolve upon the plaintiffs the burden of showing that they, or those whom they represented, were holders of them for value?
4. Whether, as respects the bonds dated July 1, 1872, and the coupons in suit originally attached to said bonds, there was power and authority in the board of county commissioners of the county to issue the same.
5. Whether, upon the facts found, said bonds and coupons last named are void in the hands of a holder for value without actual notice of the orders for and facts connected with the election therefor, and with the organization of the said railroad company.
6. Said bonds having been issued under the facts as found, was the issue of them illegal and invalid in such a sense as to devolve upon the plaintiffs the burden of showing that they, or those whom they represented, were purchasers or holders of them for value?
7. Whether the facts found constitute or show a defence to the bonds of July 1, 1869, or the said bonds of July 1, 1872, the said bonds or coupons attached thereto in suit being in the hands of the plaintiffs, without affirmative proof that they were holders thereof for value without notice of said facts.
There was a judgment for the plaintiffs below; whereupon the defendants brought the case here.
Submitted on printed arguments by Mr. William M. Nevison for the plaintiffs in error, and by Mr. John S. Abbott, contra.
MR. JUSTICE STRONG delivered the opinion of the court.

United States Supreme Court
65 U.S. 300
Christ Church v. County of Philadelphia
THIS case was brought up from the Supreme Court of the State of Pennsylvania by a writ of error issued under the 25th section of the Judiciary act.
The facts of the case are stated in the opinion of the court, and also the decision of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, which was alleged to be in conflict with the Constitution of the United States.
It was argued by Mr. McCall and Mr. Reverdy Johnson for the plaintiffs in error, and submitted on a printed argument by Mr. King for the defendants.
The first point of the counsel for the plaintiffs in error, viz: that a Legislature had power to exempt property permanently from taxation, was not contested by the other side; but the argument was, whether the reason given for exempting the property was a legal consideration of a contract or only a motive alleged for passing the laws. Upon this question many authorities were cited on both sides.
Mr. Justice CAMPBELL delivered the opinion of the court.

United States Supreme Court
61 U.S. 26
Christ Church in the City of Philadelphia v. County of Philadelphia
THIS case was brought up from the Supreme Court of the State of Pennsylvania, by a writ of error issued under the 25th section of the judiciary act.
As the decision of the court was, that the record did not show any ground of jurisdiction under the 25th section of the judiciary act, it will be proper to state what that record was.
The acts of 1833 and 1851 are recited in the opinion of the court, and need not be repeated.
The rector and church wardens were assessed for taxes upon several pieces of property, amongst which was the following:
Lower Delaware ward, No. 8 Cherry street, Hospital lot, &c., $126.
They paid the tax upon the whole assessment, including the above, under protest, and then brought an action in the State court to recover the amount so paid. The court decided in favor of the defendants. Upon being carried to the Supreme Court of the State, that court reversed the judgment of the court below, so far as respected the tax upon the Hospital lot. The rector and church wardens, believing that the whole of the property ought to be exempted from taxation, brought the case to this court. The question which they intended to raise was, whether or not the act of 1833 was a contract, irrepealable except with their consent. But the record presented only the following state of facts.
March Term, 1853, No. 145. Docket Entries.
The Rector, Church Wardens, and Vestrymen, of Christ Church, in the City of Philadelphia, in trust for Christ Church Hospital,
v.

'Service accepted.'
March 3d, 1854.-Case stated in the nature of a special vervict filed.
April 1, 1854.-Judgment entered without argument for defendants by the court. By writing filed, it is agreed that the above case may be removed by the plaintiffs to the Supreme Court, without any recognizance being given by them. Eo die assignments of errors filed.
April 4, 1854.-Argued.
December 27, 1854.-Reargued.
March 12, 1855.-Opinion by C. J. Lewis, judgment reversed, and judgment in favor of the plaintiffs in error for the sum of one hundred and twenty-six dollars, with costs. Eo die opinion filed.
The case was submitted on a printed argument, by Mr. Watts and Mr. Meredith for the plaintiffs in error, and Mr. Porter for the defendants.
The arguments proceeded upon the ground that the question of impairing the obligation of a contract was raised by the record; but, as the court decided that no such question was properly involved in the discussion, it is thought unnecessary to report the arguments.
Mr. Justice CAMPBELL delivered the opinion of the court.

# Christ a Redeemer and Friend

Is this thy kindness to thy friend by John Newton
    Poor, weak and worthless though I am
    I have a rich almighty Friend;
    Jesus, the Savior, is His Name;
    He freely loves, and without end.
    He ransomed me from hell with blood,
    And by His power my foes controlled;
    He found me wandering far from God,
    And brought me to His chosen fold.
    He cheers my heart, my wants supplies,
    And says that I shall shortly be,
    Enthroned with Him above the skies;
    O what a Friend is Christ to me!
    But, ah! my inmost spirit mourns;
    And well my eyes with tears may swim,
    To think of my perverse returns:
    I’ve been a faithless friend to Him.
    Often my gracious Friend I grieve,
    Neglect, distrust, and disobey;
    And often Satan’s lies believe
    Sooner than all my Friend can say.
    He bids me always freely come,
    And promises whate’er I ask:
    But I am straitened, cold and dumb,
    And count my privilege a task
    Before the world that hates His course,
    My treach’rous heart has throbbed with shame;
    Loath to forego the worlds applause,
    I hardly dare avow His Name.
    Sure, were I not most vile and base,
    I could not thus my Friend requite!
    And were not He the God of grace,
    He’d frown and spurn me from His sight.

Dans la trêve désolée de cette matinée, ces hommes qui avaient été tenaillés par la fatigue, fouettés par la pluie, bouleversés par toute une nuit de tonnerre, ces rescapés des volcans et de I'inondation entrevoyaient à quel point la guerre, aussi hideuse au moral qu'au physique, non seulement viole le bon sens, avilit les grandes idées, commande tous les crimes—mais ils se rappelaient combien elle avait développé en eux et autour d'eux tous les mauvais instincts sans en excepter un seul; la méchanceté jusqu'au sadisme, I'egoisme jusqu'à la férocité, le besoin de jouir jusqu'a la folie.
