In the Journal of the 22d inst. l no
tice an article giving an account of the
shooting of Mr. John Stockton, the bar
keeper of the Armada, by Private Ro-
sins, of the 35th Kentucky Volunteers,
at this post. In the article referred to,
you say that "you are told that the mill
tary authorities refused to arrest the sol
der who did the shooting"
Permit me to say that your informa
ton is not correct. l was informed Of
the shooting very soon after it took
place, procured a physician for the
wounded man myself, and ordered the
immediate arrest of the offender Capt
Baker, to whose company the soldier be-
longs, mounted his horse and pursued
Resins (who had fed) some four miles,
but failed to overtake him; since which
time we have heard nothing of him.
Should we succeed in arresting him, 1
shall turn him over to the civil authori-
ties, as provided by the Regulations.
/ should not have asked the favor of
occupying your columns for this expla-
nation, but that my friends in your city

Evansville daily journal. (Evansville, Ind.) 1863-1866, 1863-12-28

the members of the Bench actually 81
tend democratic caucnsss, and have the +
policy Bipartisan conventions predicated .
upon decisions they would render to sus-
tain their action. The yigo county Au-
ditor controversy, is case of this
kind in point
The salaries allowed Supreme Judges
are small-too small. Yet, some of the
present incumbents have amassed for
tunes. They began their career poor, they
win lay aside the ermine-all soiled and
filthy rich. That this wealth could
be accumulated out of the small salaries
allowed, is a marvel to all who have Civ
en- the matter thought, and are chart
table enough to exonerate them from
suspicious Of having accepted brides.
Our Supreme Court needs re-organiza--
ton and elevation. 1t must be lifted
from the mire Of politics and placed upon
the rock of justice. Its reputation for
impartiality and integrity must be such
that the poorest in the State will
have no hesitation in taking their cause
before it, and appealing to it for protec-
ton against the injustice and rapacity of
the rich AS the Court is now constitu-
ted, that poor man is fool who would
appeal a case from the verdict of II
| jurors, however palpably wrong it might
appear, if his opponent should, per-
chance, be a man of wealth. Wealthy
corporations, apparently, have it all their
own way with the present Judges, and
none possessing less wealth dare put
their transactions to judicial test
If the Union party can nominate and
elect-(they will elect if they make ju-
dicious nominations)-a Supreme Court
composed of such men as Col Conrad
Baker, new judicial era will dawn up
on our State The Court viii assume
the position" as the Gazette remarks,
sit did in the days of Blackford, Dewey,
and Sullivan" 1t will be the dwelling
place of Justice, munition of rocks to
the oppressed.
If Judge Baker places himself at the
disposal of his friends in the convention,
be will meet with an enthusiastic sup
port, either for the position of Lieut.
Governor or Supreme Judge.

Editors Journal:
As many inquiries are made as to
whether men who volunteered from this
county last summer and fall are credited
to the different townships, the following
statement, furnished by Col CONRAD
BAKER, A A. P. NJ G., is published for
the information of all concerned:
On the 18th day of Sept, 1868, there
was a settlement with the Adjutant Cen
eral of the State, in which all men furn-
ished by this State up to that date, were
credited according to the data given by
the muster-in rolls, which only showed
from which Congressional District the
men came. When the apportionment
published by the Governor was made up,
on the sd day of October, 1868, seven
hundred and eighty-seven recruits, OBJ
tanned in the entire State, between the
18th day of September and the 23d OF
| October, 1868, were also credited-and
the residue of the quota of this State, APP
portioned.
1t will, therefore, do no good to seek
information as to credits prior to October
23d, 1868, but it is important to see that
all recruits since that time are properly
given. BLYTHE HYNEs,
