QuorINc BRITlsH AUTHORITIES
British authorities in our courts arc
considered standard authorities for
reference on doubtful points of law
The la.o Judge Daniels, of Virginia
used to Cell what great glee, how when
q young man on the circuit, he saved
a clients life, solely because the oppo-
site counsel quoted from British au.
thorltles. 1t occurred during the last
war, when tho English squadron under
Admiral Cockburn was ascending the
Potomac river burning and plumber.
ing the villages along its banks, ne
gro man was ARA igned for the muir
der of one ofhis own color the often
Sc was clearly proved, and The only
chance for his escape was slight in
formality in the indictment. The
prosecuting attorney, in reply to Mr..
Daniels defense of his client, quoted
from British authorities, showing clear
ly thai the ground taken by the latter
was untenable. While he was quoting
and speaking, at intervals, bang bang,
bang went the cannon from the Brit
ish squadron. Daniels rose to answer,
and with great tact seized hold of the
strong point Of this opponents cause,
turning it completely against him.
Gentlemen said be to the bench,
'the prosecuting attorney quotes on
this occasion British authorities =
British authorities, gentlemen Can
there be any one in this court room ex-
eept himself, SO dead to feelings of pa
triotism, as at such moment to listen
to British authorities when British
cannon are shaking the very walls of
this court house to their foundation Z
| pause for a replyp'
Up jumped one of the justices, high.
" excited at this appeal, aud thus adj
dressed the prosecuting attorney
Look here, Mr.. A, you had bet
ter strike 3 line from this court
house with your British authorities,
or III commit you! Prisoner, you
can go! Crier adjourn the court !
British authorities be id !"
The prosecuting attorney was struck
all in a heap at these extra judicial
proceedings, and resigned his office
the very next day.

IRRIThBILITy IN SICKNESS. Those
who are blessed with health can never
know, till they are in turn called upon
to suffer, what heroic strength of spirit
lies hiden under the mask of silent,
accomplishing suffering, how strong
the temptations are to be unreasona-
bic, pet!ish, or repining; how difficult
it is to be grateful and still more
to be amiable, when the irritation of
every nerve renders the most skillful
attendance irksome, and the dearest
presence experimentation the irri-
tated.frame loathes the sunshine of a
smile, and breads the tear and the
cloud, where all is pain, and WEAKNESS,
and bitterness. Let the healthy lay
these things ever to heart, and while
they scrupulously perform their duty,
while they reverence, almost adore,
the fortitude and patience Of the gentle
and resigned, let them have pity upon
many poor and querulous sufferer;
let the sick not forget that the rever-
ence, alteration and love, thus excited,
are as the elixed attendants ]; quicken
ing them to excrtion by the sweetest
Of influences, instead of exhausting
them with strug gle to perform an un-
grateful duty.

We understand at the General Land Office

Withdrawn for the railroad grants in the six
States of Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, LOUIS

A WoRp TO INDEPENDENTLY HONEST
PEorLE.--That there are some few of
the citizens Of this locality, as else
where, who may be classed under the
head of "indiiferently honest there is
no doubt. Such, are not office seek
ers; they seldom attend political meet
ings, and unfortunately too often re-
main ut home when local and State
Offices are to be filed by election
To such, we look, as the staff upon
which the tottering morals Of the age
must lean for support. Such, have
high and holy duty TO perform, in
tho present and the coming time
Without molestation, such may go to
the polls, and quietly. p1ta check up
on public proflagracy and liceutious-
ness, which now, moro than ever, cries
aloud at MONDAY, threatning the
most disasterous consequences.
Since the breaking up Of old politi-
cal organizations, which the American
movement may well claim the honor
of; it has unmaskod the corruption
and rottenness in high, as well as low
places showing how many men there
are, occupying place, and out Of place,
but in expectency-who can no more
be relied upon for what they say, than
so many banditti, leagued together for
public plumber. At this point Of our
history-with this apparent and true
picture CT things, it behooyes the brave
hearts and true, to como out and stand
firm not under this or that banner,
Of this or that partizan leader, but I'M
der the standard of truth and virtue.
Men now, must be judged Of, by their
an'ecedonts, not by empty professions.
What are called smart men, (Which
means in n latter day construction of
the word--unpfincipled scoupdrels)
must be abandoned for honest men,
who cannot be purchased with filthy
lucre. What have we ITO think,
Of men, protesting one thing to day,
another tomorrow, and still another
the next day Mer who 90 sell them
selves first to one, and then to another
faction, in the expectancy of having
some paltry and insignificant Office to
fill, which they do not get after all,
and then they 60 wandering about in
the political SHAMELESS, soliciting q bid
for their bottomless souls A "stewed
.prune' is worth nation of such ami
mails. Let the indifferently honest
single them ont, and remember them
at The ballot box, where alone check
can be put upon them.

THE RELIGION OF Cor. Fremont.
The papers are busily iaquiring in
to the private life and religion of the
Black Republican candidate for the
Presidency. The Buffalo Commercial
has the following about his religion
Col. Fremont was educated in and
graduated from St. Mary's College, in
Baltimore, a Roman Catholic institute.
He was brought up in the Catholic
faith, and is Catholic. lie married
daughter of Col. Benton. Miss
Benton was o Presbyterian. They
were married by clergyman of that
denomination; but a Catholic priest
made fuss about it, as being null,
void and heretical, and the ceremony
was re-performed by him.
Another paper says he educated his
children in the Roman Catholic insti-
tuition, at Georgetown, D. G. The
New York Tribune, per contra, insists
that be is not Catholic. These diff
ferent views are put forth, Of course,

The Fourth or July.

IN
At this moment, all the vehicles
from the stables; horses, Wagons,
carryalls, etc, are out Of town, having
taken with them needy Of people, TO
their utmost capacity. Some have
gone one way, some another. Tho
country is after all, perhaps the best
place to spend the natal day of the
Republic. There, in the fresh and
uneontqmnated air; apart from the
dust of the town, and all its contami-
mating and corrupting Influences
There in small parties may wo enjoy
ourselves, in a primitive and approved
fashion without the fumes Of whisky,
aud apart from such considerations as
drag us to the earth. Give us the
country, ever-for all celebrations
Where pleasure, apart from mere OK
element, is to be had.
Many patriotic speeches will be
made to-day; many things said in
way Of praise for the great country,
the constellation of States, that will
look like the verriest poetry, when
compared with the facts before U.s.
May the generation now living be
able to hand down to the generation
to come, the unsullied honor of a ma
ton, depending for its support on the
wisdom and virtue Of its people.
