JUDGE TAYLOR AND HIS MALIG-
- NERS

! Afiertbe attack upon Judge Taylor in
the Banner OF the 25tb ult,. in view Of
the change in tho Land Office, and ap-
pointment of Commission on "illicit
practices and fraud" both Of which mea--
sures he was charged win originating,
we were led 10 conclude tha: these ar,i-
cles were 10 be kept up. In this case,
the merits of the whole matter would
have been brought in controversy, for we
should have defended our Senator from
all charge Of impure motive, or anything Of
the Kind, and that successfully, too. Judge
ofollr surprise when the Banner of the
lsi instant appeared and disclaimed any,
intention of attacking the character Of
Judge Taylor. "No such thing" saws the
editor,and winds up his crawfsbing article
with "Nulf Ced." Enough has been sad,
however, 10 show the malignty YOURSELF
and others bear to Judge Tavlo,, and the
desire to cover up things. The insinua-
lions that Judge Taylor was removed fl m

reason than that he was Democ1t, and

WnIG DIsTRIcr CoNvENrroN,

I WmIG DIsTRIcT CONVENTION
The Wings held a Distric
I. Convention at Defiance on tn,
j 18th inst, Col. ABNER RooT, il
THE Chair; r. r. THRALL, Secre
tary. Resolutions were passe,
approving Of Fillmore's admin
istration. swallowing down Com
promise, Fugitive Slave Law
and all the beautiful precedents
of Galphinism which Wing rule
affords. AS Dan. Segur, was
present, the bankrupt Wing can.
Tdidate for Member of the Board
|of Public Works, a small shower
of abuse was poured out at the
present Board.
We select as a specimen o.
the truthful and dignified spirit
Of the resolutions the following
extract:
"That although the "new Constitution
is in the hands Of its friends" !" and under
il we were promised economy; our Legis.
laiors fix 81 day for their own com.
pensaIiuD, while the day laoorer is com.
PEELED TO toll daily for seveniy.five cents,
thus showing Their great regard for The
day lnborer and the tax payer"
We are under the impression
that the writer of the above
should be known, so that those
in his vicinity could guard their
hen roosts. 1t is about the most
pitifulspecimen ofdemagogueism
in lille that we have ever seen.
But we are surpfized that this
exceedingly honest and candid
body did not propose to Abner
Root, their Chairman, to do the
duties of the U. S. Land Office
for seventy-five cents a day! In
this way he could prove his
"great regard for the day laborer
and tax payer. If a "sans
cslOtte" standard is the true rule
let us see Wing Office holders
jerk off their broad cloth, and try
the working Of their own plan.
They do not work so hard as
day laborers, why not work for
fifty or, twenty-five cents a day?|
If they are honest they cannot
object to this; and after the
Wing office-holders at Defiance
have given it a fair trial, doubt
less a Democratic Legislature
will think better of it and follow
50 excellent an example.
Such men, however, have no
business after getting tat at the
public crib, by appointments,
without the popular sanction, to
'eek to kick down those equally
worthy, selected by the People,
md still hold on to fat salaries.
The thing is toob barelaced, though |

ExTRioRpINARy DOCTRINES OF Wnre
JUDeE.-We copy from the Lickn, Her
aid, the published opinion Of Judge
Ilurd in the great Injunction Case be-
tween the Central Ohio Railroad and the
Board Of Pu5lic Works. tits tue the
Judge dissolved The Injunction as he
should have done, but in doing il lie sus-
tains the railroads in any bigh-handel out
rage they may choose 10 inflct on the ca
mails. Such Judge would, in his at
tempIs 10 establish Corporate Despo-
tism, create disturbances, riots &C.,
along the whole line Of Public Works.
Wing rule and mob rule seem insepera-
Bile from each other.
Judge Hurd encourages and susIains the
Railroads in crossing the canals and using
the property Of the State al their discre-
ton and pleasure.
To sustain this extraordinary assump.
tion Of power, il will be seen that the
Judge declares that the State holds no
fee simple 10 the soil occupied by and for
the use Of canals! Now let us refer to
The law, the original law passed in 1926,
for the construction of Canals in Ohio
called The ''Internal Improvement Law ~
Swans Statutes, page 74S,sec.lS. Ii de-
clares that "ihe FEE SIMPLE Of tile
premises 30 appropriated shall be YES
TED IN THIS STATE!"
We may refer to this remarkable at
'ument Of Judge Hurd again. He GER
alnly went off under Rail Road press
ire that he will not look back upon with
pleasure. Ohio Statesman.

In the Journal OF Psychological Medicine
there is an extremely Interesting paper on
" Homicidal Monomania'' in which we find
another example to tie added to the long list
OF those who like Ccuci and Borgia were at
once dabocal and devout. The notorious
Bark, who was hanged for murder in Scot.
land which he committed for the purpose Of
selling the remains Of his unfortunate victims
to the anatomical schools, was very partial and
kind to children. He preached religious ser,
mons, and the Whole series of his murders was
snggoted by his confederate, Hare, reading
aloud one winter evening HE death Of BenhaI
ad by tlazael, IN the Second Book Of Kings
HE dIabolIcal suggestion arose from reading
he account given Verse 2. ch2p. viii) Of the
death Of Benbadad by Hazael, who was thus
killed by llazacl: And it came to pass on the
morrow, that he took thick cloth, and dipped
In water, and spread it on his face. so that he
died. Burke ana Hare adopted the Same
plan. They made their victims draak, and
covered themouth and uostrils with wet cloths.
Sometimes, by koeeling on the epigasrum,
they forced deep expiration, which emptied
the lungs, and the wet cloths prevented the re
admission Of the air. This mnrderous method
was SO pl.ysiologicaIly scientific, that it Was
suspected to have been suggested by some
anatomist. This was not true; the above states
ment came out in e,ilcnce
