JUDGE MILLERs COURT.
The q. S. District Court Is in full blast. in
the and spacious Assembly Hall. Here
New Workers and BostonIans haul their custom
over the Goals, in preference to trusting our
State tribunals, DEGREES being obtained more
promptly. and SO often In favor of the plaintiff

shall. who uses his own discretion in ms king Sc
lections, ard who sometimes makes mistake |
by putting a Republican his list, although |
this is said to happen very seldom. The Judge |
presides with considerable dignity and gtves his |
decisions quietly and rapidly. which | believe |
in the main are Just. unless SOME principle af- /

Law should arise. In such a case it is l, be ex-
pecfed that he should carry out the opinions of
the party to which he elongs and to whom he
owes his appointment.

Chief Justice Dixon, and associates ORsAMus

sneers which have heard in relation to the
youth of some of the judges, we believe they

of the people. They men whose integrity is
above suspicion, and whose judicial ability and
legal knowledge is above reproach Their de-
cisioDs thus far have been able and impartial

legal INFORMATION for E" Boys Court" as polit-
zeal enemies have stignatized it. And here it
IS proper to say that VIM. p. LyNpE, the Demo
cratic Candidate at the last Judicial election
who, according to his friends, was the Nestor of
the Bar, Is only THREE years older than Judge
PAINE. the successful candidate, and the youn-
sest man on the Bench. All three of the pres
emit Judges are Republicans and will in their
decisions protect the citizens of the State against
