GRIM. Cox. CAsE.-An action of Grim. Con-, in
the case of Andrew Jarratt against Joseph Swope,
was brought btfoie our Court of Common Pleas,
Judge Hammond presiding. BY a change of venue,
understood to have been obtained at the instance of
the defendant. 1t was tried last week, and we took
notes of the testimony at the trial, 1t was warmly
contested on both sides and resulted in a verdict for
the plaintiff of $1,000 damages. 1t was not only
warmly" contested on both sides; but we think too
much so. Not that we find fault with the verdict.
which we must believe was the solemn conviction of
the intelligent jury who rendered it, because that was
not a part of their province. But because the Judge,
with a dignity and on urbanity seldom witnessed in
our Courts, taught counsel that the only way to ad-
minister justice, abide by the law, expedite public
business, and preserve their own dignity, was to "set
the example" No personal illusions are intended
Reporter. The testimony must have been sutisfac-
tory to the jury-but it is too lengthy for our columns
at p~resent,-and shows that j%uries of Marion County
cannot, and will not, look upon such cases with many
grains of allowance.
For Piaintf.-Th. D. Walpolc, Smith g. Yandes.
For Dgendant.-Riley of Hancock, and w. & ].

The verdict of a jury in New Orleans, of "murdcr
without capital punishment has occnsioned much
comment in the North, where the iuries have no such
discriminative jurisdiction. In Louisiana. however,
the law authorizes the jury to Judge of the character
Of the punishment in capital cases, and hence the
verdict which appeared so singular.
Juries in THE State possess an equivalent power,
to upporiion punishment. and we think il one Of the
best features Of our criminal law.

SOUTHEASTERN, &c.-We extract the following
paragraphs from the commercial correspondence Of
the Washington Union
The plethora Of money in the great reservoirs has
stopped the cutlery against the independent treasury,
and there are indications that politicians, having dis
covered the sense of the business community in rela-
ton to its operation, will abandon all idea of It's mod
Iifcatiun. Indeed, the responsible editor of the New
York Courier. in a recent letter from the West, has
taken ground in favor of the present tariff Of 1916,
aud sbanduned the old issue in relation To the cur
rency. These indications arc SO far satisfactory 10
the commercial public, that IL gives promise Of some
respite from the eternal state of transition which the
attempts at exclusive privileges for corporations and
classes - Ing kept up. The Hon. Daniel Webster,
in his speech or 1888, estimated that under The inde-
pendent treasury all the officers Of the government
would in a year be required 10 count 100 millions of
dollars for u year, and inlimated the impossibility Of
il. while he asserted that the operation wonld require
$50. 000. 900 always TO lie dead in the government
vaults. In the city of New York alone the following
receipts and payments of coin have been made:

EVANSVILLE AND INDIANAPOLIS RAILROAD.-The
friends of the above contemplated Railroad appear 10
be moving. Judge Lockhart, of Evansville, in q let
ter to a friend at this place, says "Your road, (he
indianapolis and Bellefontaine RaIlroad,) is now re-
garded rs one of the best roads under construction in
the West, and | hope to see the day when a branch of
your road will extend down between the branches of
White river. and unite with US Mt Princeton. We
are anxious to have Capt. Morris make a survey for
u.s." The Evansville road, if made, would certainly
be one of great Importance, and one of the most in
viting and useful branches of the main central line to
passing up and down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers,
to and from New Orleans. 1t intersects the Ohio
river, passing through one of the finest countries in
the West, so much lower down than any other con-
templated road, as to avoid much of the difficulty of
navigation occasioned by low waters and ice, while
it would enable the passengers in the boats, and 9TH
ers, to be in the Eastern Atlantic Cities, by Railway
on the direct central route through indianapolis and
Bellefoniaine, Ohio, before they could possibly by the
river route. on the steam boat, be at Cincinn att. The
distance from Indianapolis to Evansville is only
about 160 miles, or about 8 hours run, and from In
dianapolis TO the Atlantic Cities, on the direct GEN.
tral route, the running time will be about the same as
from Cincinnati to those cities.

IMMIeRATIoN-Tbe British emigration commission
report that ihree-fourths Of the whole expense Of The
emigration from Ireland is discharged by those in the
United States who ~emigrated in previoss years. It
was ascertalned by the commission that the amount
paid in the United States for passages for intended
emigrants, or RENTED through houses at Liverpool
and in Ireland, exclusive of Earrings Brothers house
at Liverpool, was, in 1913, f460, 00O-say $780,
0OO. What a proof this affords, not only Of the
industry and kind-heartedness of the poor emigrants
when opportunity is offered them, but of the Gdvan-
tages of this glorious country, which is truly the re-
fuge of the oppressed The 1900 Immigrants
starved out of their native country by British oppres-
sion, and indebted TO relatives for the means uf es-
cape, will shortly repay the debt of gratitude. by re-
leasing at least as many more from the clutch of
priests and peers. 1t will be observed that this sum
annually paid by the immigrants, and which cannot
be short of So ,0O0, 900, forms q considerable item in
the monetary transactions Of the two countries, but
the largest portion of it returns to the pockets of
American ship owners, and is not in fact ultimately
paid out Of the country; while n considerable amount
of British and European capital finds its way hither
IN The possession of more prosperous ndyenturers. A
considerable proportion of the people that so arrive
pass into the western country, and become ~indepen-
dent landholders and republican freemen.
For the year 1913 the number of emigrants from
Great Britain was 246,G69 persons; of these 235,-
731 were Storage passengers, of whom lS9,251
were lrish-l23,516 having sailed from Liverpool,
and 59,675 from Ireland. The extensive arrange
ments made by the New York packet-ships for their
accommodation has been one means of d%iverting the
migration from the St. Lawrence to the Hudson.

PoLITIcAL BUzzARDs.-Tbe following rich example
of wing hatred for the g spoil,,'' is from the Cincin-
nuli Enquirer. Perhaps a whig may be occasionally
found. who VIII be really Disguised at the greediness
of these foul birds; but what else have they a right
to expect, knowing as they do. that the only platform
of Taylorism, which was indicated during The Presi-
DENTAL canvass, was the prizes OF power and place to
the vic;ors!
G-John Nj. Clayton, Secretary of State, in a let
ter replying to un invitation 10 attend a dinner to be
given by his whig friends on the 9TH instant, SAYS,
THE departments al Washington have been crowded
by a host of expectants of Office. never before exceed
ed, not even in the first year of the advent Of Jack
sonism." A similar account is given by all who have
been at Washington since the advent Of the " no
party !" administration, and who have written on the
subject, Democrats as well as Wings. The rush for
the g spoils has had no parallel. Those who while
out of power looked upon the practice as utterly de-
grading TO an American citizen, and as fit only for
hungry, brawlIng, red-mouihed locofocos," are
among the foremost in tie pushing, wrangling, FAM
ishing crowd, that are pressing forward 10 get a por-
ton of the - plumber" But bad as that is, who would
have thought any of them would have applied TO De.
mocrats 10 aid them in seeming out the spells! Yet
go 1t is, as tile following correspondence will show.

be to a high minded whig.

G-The editor of the Pa. Ledger gives n descrip-
ton Of a Patent Rotary Seaeing Machine, which he
saw in operation in Philadelphia. He says it is a
very ingenious, a very simple, aid a very effective
instrument. We do not know the technical terms
used by tailors for different kinds of stitches; but
this machine makes what we should call u lock stitch.
1t resembles in outward appearance the double stitch
used in harness making, but instead Of being the
same in reality, the two threads used by the machine,
by Icing made 10 cross each other, lock together
within the punctures made by the needle in the cloth,
and thence returning, stretch to the next stitch or
puncture, where they again cross and lock as before,
and so on, each of the threads extending upon the
side of the cloth throughout.
Tallurs, dressmakers. &C.. can tell better than we
can as to the applicability of this stitch to the vuri-
Gus purposes required. 1t sews in circular shape OF
in straight lines, according to a chalked mark, and is
said to be capable of completing one yard per min
ute. The machine is portable, not occupying more
room than a lady's small workstand, and its opere-
tons are performed by turning a small crank.
