SOul.Life.

We heard the lecture of Hon. JAMES II.
BAKER, Secretary of State, on the above
subject, Tuesday evening. 1t was a lecture
beneath criticism. If Mr.. BAKER did not
steal $4,000 from Ohio, when Secretary OF
that State, we are satisfied, from this exhi-
bition of his thievish propensities, that the
omission occurred only from lack of oppor.
tunity.
BY the way, while the Germania was
singing that Incompatible air, to the ravish-
ing melody of which, in the whirling move
ments of the schottische, we have before
now, in ungodly halls, endangered the
integrity of our coat-tails, we could not help
revertiDg-right there, in the presence of
our good pastor MArTocKs,- the time,
last autumn, when the same consecrated
edifce was refused to Tom MARSHALL, of
Kentucky, for his splendid lecture on WASH
INGToN and we realized, more fully than
ever before, how much better it was to be q
public swiDdler, if with that one only pos
sessed a brassy face and an oily tongue, than
to be an honest gentleman, if with that one
was cursed with the objectionable sin of
inebriety. And we thought there were
others who took this Christian lesson to
heart, as we did. May we all profit by it,,
and be thankful.

A Speaker at Last.

On Wednesday last, Hon. WN. PENN1NG-
TON, of New Jersey, was elected Speaker of
the House of Representatives, over Mr..
M'CLERNAND, of Illinois, his principal COM
petitor. Mr.. PENNINGTON in New Jersey,
has always been known as an old-line
Wing he was elected to Congress by a
combination of Republicans, Americans, and
Anti Lecompton Democrats, over an Ad-
blage of the present Congress, he has acted
with the Republicans.
1t is rather significant fact that the
Democrats, on the last ballot, should have
voted for Hon. JOHN A. M'CLERNAND, of
Illinois, Douglas Democrat.

ment Suppressed.

In the earlier edition of Helpers "Com-
pendulum of the Impending Crisis of the
South" the Enforcement of it by VIM. II.
Seward was published on the covers. 1t
reads as follows -" 1 have read this I'm
pending Crisis of the South with deep
attention. 1t seems to me work of great
merit, rich, yet accurate, in statistical in
formation, and logical in analysis"
In the late editions, by the same publish
ers, this emphatic endorsement is omitted
But it cannot be rubbed out. 1t stands
boldly upon the record. Why is it now
attempted to be suppressed? Tell US, ye
skulking politicians, who have brought the

The recommendations of Theodore Parker,

The Lennon Case.

This celebrated case has lately been be-
fore the New York Courts again. The
facts involved are as follows JONATHAN
LENNON tie plaintiff, citizen of Virginia,
in 1852, shipped seven slaves-a man, a
woman, and five belonging to his
wife, on board vessel for Texas. The
vessel, however, came into the port of n ew
York. There, writ o. habeas corpus was
taken out and they were brought before
Justice PAINE, who, after hearing arguments
decided that they could not be held in slavery
under the laws of that STATE, and they were
liberated. The State of Virginia considered
the decision an infringement of her rights
and took steps to have the case carried up
on appeal, in order to have the law on this
subject authoritatively expounded by the
Supreme Court. The Supreme Court
affirmed the decision of the Justice. So
Virginia carried it up to the Court of Ap-
peale, and announces her intention, if the
decision is again sustained, to carry it to the
Supreme Court of the United States.

Editors Of the Pioneer and Democrat.
Prominent among the members of the
Legislature deeply imbued with the doctrine
Of Retrenchment, in all its details, is the
honorable gentleman from this county, Mr..
Acker, chairman of the Committee of the
House of Representatives, on Retrenchment
and Reform. This gentleman, has, during
this session, introduced number of bills
reducing the fees of County Officers. These
bills, are, in many respects, very unjust,
afording no adequate remuneration to the
officers for the service rendered, and if they
should become laws, no honest man can
afford the luxury of holding an office under
their operation. if. tE-.
ID the bill introduced by Mr.. Acker, pre-
scribipg and regulating the fees of Clerks of
the District Courts, the sum of twenty five
cents is allowed for the final entry of judg-
ment, there being no distinction made in the
cases OF foreclosure of mortgages in chance.
ry. Tn entry of judgment or decree in
these cases usually average from twelve to
fourteen folios, and a copy must be made
by the Clerk, to be attached to the referees
report of sale. Consequently, for writing
from twenty four to twenty eight folios, the
Clerk would be entitled to charge, under
this bill, the enormous sum of twenty five
cents nearly one cent per folio! The other
items OF the bill are about in the same pro-
portion. A few days since, when it was in
consideration in Committee of the Whole,
in the House, Mr.. Secombe, understand,
stated to the Committee that the Clerks's
fees under the bill would amount to two
dollars in causes where judgment is taken
by default. Now, Mr.. S. is lawyer, and
should have known better than to make such
statement. do not believe that he would
intentionally make false statement to the
House, in regard to measure pending
before that body, for the purpose of creating
an erroneous Impression on the minds OF the
members who were not acquainted with
such matters. On the contrary, conclude
that he had never examined the bill in
question to know what its provisions were.
Now, the fact is, under this bill the fees OF
Clerks, IN such cause as is referred to,
would amount to the enormous sum of
eighty.fue cents all told That is all that
can be figured out of it.
The bill purports to reduce the fees fifty
per cent, but the truth is, it reduces them
more than two hundred per cent. If the
members of the Legislature would reduce
their per diem in the same proportion, it
would be good proof of their sincerity,
and at the same time would save large
sum to the tax payers of the State.
Iappend statement of the items charge
able by the Clerks, under Mr.. Ackers bill,
in entering judgment in cases of default.
They are as follows:
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1860-02-10

For entering judgment and perlectipg a
judgment roll, no sane man will pretend to
say that the above sum will pay Clerk
for the labor necessary to be done. Clerks
of Courts, Sheriffs, and Register of Deeds
and other county officers, against whom
these bills are aimed, should have, as we'll
as other people, a fair compensation for
their work, and they do not receive anything
more than that under the present laws reg
ulating the fees of their Offices. The
people, as understand it, ask for retrench-
ment in such way as will ease the burdens
of taxpayers. They do not complain, as
indeed they have no right, of fees paid, for
the most part, by nonresident parties,
plaintiffs in actions brought for the recovery
of monies due. In the introduction of these
bills do not think Mr.. Acker intended to
do injustice to any officer of the county
or State. They were doubtless drawn up
in haste, framed after laws in relation to
similar officers in other States, where an
entirely different system of litigation pre-
walls. In old and populous States, under
the common law practice, these fees might
remunerate officers, but in this State, under
our present code, and with sparse popula-
ton, they are totally inadequate for that
object.
do not think Mr.. A. himself would be
willing to employ clerks and discharge the
duties of either Clerk Of the District Court,
Register of Deeds or Sheriff, for the COM
pensation named in the bills prescribing the
fees of these officers. The entire income of
either of these Offices under these bills, would
not pay the salary of one clerk.
