MAUMEE CITY EXPRESS.
SATURDAY, MARCH le, 1889.

In our third No. we spoke of the Maumee
Express as being democratic paper, wewere
mistaken. The general views Of the Editor of
that paper, on the subject Of banking are cor
rect, but when he speaks ofour present legis-
lature, he shows his party cast. We have
great confidence in the wisdom and liberal
views of our present Legislature, and we ex-
pect much both of liberal and judiclous char-
acter.--.akron Nt.O Era, March a.
Took us for patent Democrat did you Mr.
Era7 Well, we are bound to consider that
funny, though the jest of the matter hes I'D

TAX 1'ITLEs.--The following is an extract
from an opinion given by Chancellor Kent up
on the subject of tax titles in Illinois 1t may be
interesting to some of our readers, and we wish
we were able to give the state of the case un-
der which the opinion was given, and the whole
of the opinion itself:
"Under all the circumstances of the case
am of the opinion, that the revenue and road
laws are sound and upimpeachable, provided,
as the case assumes, that the proceedings and
sales for taxes by the state officers, whether
Auditor, Sheriff, or Clerk, have been regular
and in conformity with the statute provisione." +"

A DAY IN CouRT WEEK.--Capt. -Spink OF
the Gov. Vance," is entitled to our thanks
for placing us, free ofexpense, upon the wharf
of our friencs Palmer Bush & Co, at Toledo, on
Thursday morning, in time to walk into the
court room, up one very broad, and one very
narrow fight of stars, soon after the judges had
taken their seats. After shaking hands with our
brother lawyers and neighbor Fairbanks, who
introduced us to mine host of the American,
from whom, we cannot forbear to say, we re-
ceived an invitation to good dinner, we turn
ed to observe what was going Oh in court
Brother Fitch was just arraigning couple o.
scalawags, who answered to the names o.
Charles McLane and Gabrael Bedford, for ma
king too free with the goods and chattels o.
their friends. Charles, plead guilty to steal
ing $50 bill and took his sentence Of "ter
days OH the simples of solid and ffuid," with
apparent thankfulneas, protesting that ht
wouldn't get caught in such things again
Gabrael was a tough customer, and denied hli
guilt most stoutly. In the afternoon however
he concluded "to shift his plea, ,"--as brother
Allen very learpedly expressed it, and take
sentence of jug6caton long enough to car
ry him snugly through the winter, therln show
ing his fondness of protection and support al
the public expense.
The new presiding Judge is a noble looking
man with fine commanding figure, piercing
black eye. hair dark as the raven wing of mid
night lying in rich jetty masses upon his hlgf
nd expanded forehead, and on expression O.
countenance Of mingled sweetness and com
mand, not unmxed with little voluptuousness
around a mouth and chm fine IN themselves, but
not equal in dignity with the upper portion OF
his phisiognomy. Judge Potter dresses well,
thing unusual in Judge, and shows his goot
judgement in suiting his form with such ap
pareI as best becomes him, and his good
manners by wearing it like gentleman. The
associate Judges present were Messrs Wolcot
and Jerome; the former the descendant OF
family of revolutionary memory IN Connect
cut, who has long been Judge both in this ant
Wood counties, the latter, man who has made
fortune by atte ,ding to his own business, an'
who has the good will ofevery body.
After taking dinner as per contract we tool
look at the splendid Touring mill of Edward
Bissell Esq, an establishment worth looking at
and then returned to the court room, to hea
some very good speeches from Messrs Cook
Tilden, Morton and Way, and correct, bu
not luminous charge from the new Judge. W.
are short of room this week or we would gv'
our readers glimpse at the Lucas county bar

WABASH AND ERIE CANAL PACKETS
A daily llne, leaving Fort Wayne and Logans-
port every morning has been established, tc

We would nsinuate to these packet owners

ALI HAIL MrssoURl!--Ou Dur last advices from
ST. Louis state that Benton's Currency Bill,
designed to punish as felony the highly aristoc-
ratio and dangerous practice of carrying mo-
ney in the pocket or offering to pay it to any
body, was rejected on its third reading in the
Senate by vote Of l6 to IA! So the Buffalo
I is unable to rule even his own State! There
is decided Van Buren majority IN each branch
Of the Legislature, which probably adjourned
on Saturday week.

BUFFALO HARBoR.--Past experience shows
that our harborfor the ensuing season will come
far short of accommodating the fleet of steam
boats and vessels engaged in the commerce of
the lakes. Last year it was scarcely adequate
to the lake craft, and was rendered in degree
capable Of accommodating the schooners and
steamboats, then in employ, only through the
good management ofthe Harbor master, whose
services were inestlmable in that particular
During the past winter, many new steam and
sail vessels have been completed, and will be in
readiness by the opening of navigation to ply
upon the lakes. Inasmuch as our harbor is not
enlarged proportionably with the increase Of
our commerce, the services of the present har-
Dor master can be rendered douply valuable for
the ensuing season.-Buf Pat

Information has been received from the Aros-
took up to the god inst. The British and
trespassers In that quarter were apparently
quiet. Mr.. Jarvis had at that time force Of
about seven hundred men. He has taken a
part of them on the Fish River, branch of st.
Johns, to arrest the trespassers in that quar-
ter. A part of his force he had sent down the
Aroostook to establish position sufficiently
near the mouth of the river to protect the TIM
Der on that river, and part of them will re.
main at No. 10. Gen. Hudson, with detach-
ment from his division will join him in few

To CORRESPONDENTS is with some re.
luctance, that we have been compelled to de-
cline the communication of Equality at
least for the present. 1t is rule, that we
ourselves are obliged to observe with degree
of strictness, "neyer to write an article for a
small paper, of over manuscript page in
length" Neither do we subscribe to all the
doctrines of our correspondent. "Respecta.
bility" is quality intrinsic in the possesso'
himself, and is not increased or diminished by
the estimation in which he is holden. All men
who observe and keep the precepts of the
moral code are respectable, and one or another
occupation neither adds nor detracts from their
responsibility. Birth, wealth, talents, learn
ing, and polished manners confer upon their
possessors a certain degree of estimation
among men, and that estimation is power.
Man being gregarious and disposed to associate
with those who are like him, firms classes in
society, by community of feeling and interest.
1t is not subject Of complaint that such sub
divisions should exist any more than it is that
we should follow any other instinct of our ma
lures. Nor do We see, with our correspondent
that any difference can be found between one
trade and another in the public estimation. In
all places, that trade that has the most num-
bers, concentrates the most power, but this Is
merely an accidental elevation, and unworthy
Of complaint or remark. There can be no re-
al difference between butcher and baker, Q
tailor and shoemaker, milliner and man.
tuamaker except such as arises from individu-
al superiority in the scale Of merit. Honor
does not always belong to him who writes hon
orable before his name, but respect is the unfail
ing attendant upon responsibility.
