COMMON PLEAS.

Walker Il Bro. VS.. Cooper.-The action in
volyed controversy between the parties as to
the delivery of a lot of -four. The case had
been partly tried before Judge Malon on the
previous day, and continued until yesterday,
when counsel stated that, upon consultation,
both parties desired to withdraw a juror, and
to have the case continued.
The cause was alleged to be misconduct on
the part of juror during the vacation of the
Court
Christian Dig VS.. Mortimer and Miller
The plaintiff claimed damages for false i'm
prisonment. Dig, it appeared, had been taken
before Squire Mortimer, a magistrate in Greene
township, upon charge of assault and battery.
Dig entered plea Of not guilty, but the mag
istrate went on, and heard the case, and i'm
posed fine of So. Dig, not having the
money, gave security for the payment. In a
week afterwards tho Squire sent Constable
Miller with the same warrant and affidavit to
arrest dig, telling the constable to inform
him that he had made a mistake. When
brought up again he was required to give
bail, and refusing to do SO he was committed
to Jail.
Tho jury could not agree and were dis
charged.

defense.
CRIMINAL SrDE--VERDICT.-CharI Brown,

Woods Theater, commenced on the previous
day, was found guilty on the third count in
the indictment, namely: Burning the saloon
under the thcater, of which he was in occupa-
tion as tenant.
Geo. King was placed ON trial to answer q
charge of grand larceny, in stealing articles of
jewelry from the store of Beggs Il Smith, No. 6
West Fourth street. According to the evil
dence, the prisoner went in a little after six
o'clock in the morning, and while looking
round and pricing some articles, appropriated,
as the State claimed, breast-pin and ear rings,
worth $40, and a pair of armlets worth $l2.
One of the witnesses Ia clerk in the store, said
he could not tell what the intrinsic value OF the
could sell across the counter. When the ac-
cused was charged by the porter in the store
wsth having the articles, he handed them over,
bnt said his intention was not to steal but 10
see how sharp the porter was. He denied en-
tirely having taken the armlets, and they
were found on tho counter when he left.
sVerdict-Guilty Of petty larceny; value OF

the Court IF six months on the chain gang.

American Titles.

The following remarks from the Evansville
Enquirer on the growing tendency among US OF
giving titles to men filing civic statiOSs' are
worthy Of serious consideration;
off there is any practice which preva us In
this country which is to be deprecated it IL
that of adding or prenxing titles to men filling
civic stations. Our federal constitution wisely
provides that Congress shall grant no title OF
nobility, but custom is grandng g.tisies OF dis-
tinction which is evidently wrong in spirit.
Latterly there has been disposition to carry
the practice to such an. excess that it may work
its own cure.
"No persons or class of persons is particularly
blamable in this matter. Editors have done
much towards titling "honorables" in this
country, and they frequently use the prefix
without giving the thing moments thought.
We do it almost every day of our life, so great
is the force of habit, yet we think it has bad
tendency. The true American system should
be to call all men, Of every class and occupa-
tion simply by their names, using no prefix or
additions. How ridiculous IL would sound to
talk about the Honorable George Washington,
or the Honorable Thomas Jefferson! Or even
the use of the tito in mentioning nRt-es 81
modern date, such as Henry Clay or Osniep
Webster, would seem sadly out Of place.
These men have history in the hearts of
IuSlT COuulIy nou' IuoT BredIJ ehOh B"hoio
deeds have rendered them immortal. To add
a title to their names would mar that plain re-
publican simplicity which they were 30 instru-
mental in establishing and preserving.
ut is only men unknown to fame, whose
right to be dubbed Honorable has not yet
b.. earned, who are elevated by the use Of a
s~rso,.. title. When they deserve it they will
not need II. and none would think of giving it
10 tbOm' W. q, ,''ect then to the system and
would be glad to SEQ 1t discontinued. -, 49,. os
tbsso titles Of Sistinctign the might gradually
fall into disuse, and no one would 'oe IN inc ne
least injured. But the practice has DO OO%o hS 80
firmly rooted that we despair of seeing II doan
doned unless the excess to which 1t is oes,,ns
carried shall, as we hope it will, become US 10
gusting. There is disposition to attach tl "
: Honorable to every man who fills the sta.
ton of Justice of the peace and-we had almost
said supervisor! 1t has got so near down to
nothing that we hope it will coon be abandoned
with respect to the higher grades of offices for
the distinction of which the t!tle was originaiiy
used"

ought to be repealed at once. The West
and the South can do it if they co-ope-
rate; the independent men in all parties
who respect State rights, should concen-
trate their minds on that necessity, and
the people ought to instruct their repre-
sentatives accordingly.
The politicians who are always talking
in vain and never doing anything, will
give but little assistance in such an enter
prise. They are not ready to risk their
popularity. Governor Chase told the
mass meeting at Cleveland to rely on the
ballot box and Chief Justice BARLEY
makes the same wise observation in the
bank tax cases. Such advice is worse
than idle-it is deceptive. The voters
have no power to repeal an obnoxious law;
and if the leaders of the people do nottake
the responsibility of proposing and dis
cussing the necessity of II repeal of the
law through which any injustice is perpe-
trated, the law will remain as part of a
vicious system which no verdict of the
ballot box can change, because that rem
edy is only applicable to change of mas
ters. 1t is time to insist upon the repeal
of the practice, and to give our Congress-
men instructions.

THE following has been handed US by q friend
who has carried it in his purse for many years,
as a sort of taIisman and who regards much of
his success in life as the result of strict ad-
herence to the advice it contains. We do not
often see more sound advice in the same space
We commend it to all young men just starting
out in life. CUT 1T OUT and put it in your
purse:
Keep good company, or none. Never be
idle. If your hands can't be usefully employ
ed, attend to the cultivation of your mind. Al
ways speak the truth. Make few promises
Live up to your engagements. Keep your own
secrets, If you have any. When you speak to
person, look him in the face. Good company,
and good conversation, are the very sinews of
virtue. Good character is above all things else
our character cannot be essentially injured
except by your own acts. If any one speaks
evil of you, let your life be so that no one will
believe him. Drink no kind of intoxicating
liquors. Ever live misfortune excepted) within
your income. When you retire to bed, think
over what you have been doing during the day.
Make no haste to be rich if you would prosper
Small and steady gains give competency, with
tranquility of mind. Never play at any game
Of chance. Avoid temptation though you
fear you may not Withstand it. Earn money
before you spend it. Never run into debt un-
less you see a way to get out of it. Never bor-
row if you can possibly avoid it. Do not
marry until you are able to support a wife.
Never speak evil of any one. Be just before
you are generous. Keep yourself innocent, if
you would be happy. Save when you are young,
that you may spend when you are old. Read
over The above maxims at least once week.
