Legal Intelligence.

A countryman walked into the
Office Of Lawyer Barns mo day
and began his application
"Barns, lhave come to get your
advice in a case that is giving me
one trouble" N#ff N#fF
"Supposc now" said the client
"that man had a spring OF water
On his land, and his ncighbor liv'
ing below should build a dam
across a creek through both tllcir
| farms, and it was to back the
water up into the mans spring,
what ought to be done"
"Sue him, sir, snc him. 10y all
MEANS" said the lawyer, who al
ways .ot excited in porp' r.ionio Il o
argravation of his client. "You
can recover heavy damages, cir,
and the law will make him pay
well for il. Just give me tho case,
and pll bringthe money from him,
and if he hasn't great deal Of
property, it will break him MP
SIR"
"'ut stop, Barns" cried the
terrified applicant for legal advice,
''it's | that built the dam, and it's
ncighbor Jones that owns the
spring, and he threatens to suc
me-"
The keen lawyer hesitatcd n
moment before he tackled the ship
and kept ON.
"Ah well, You say you built a
dam acroFs that creek. What sort
of a dam was that sir 2"
at was a DAM
"A mill.dam for grinding grain
"Yee, It was just that"
"And it is a good ncighborhood
mill, is ("
$50 it is sir, and you may well
say So"
"Aud all your ncighhors bring
their grain TO be ground, do theyt"
ayes, sir, oil but Jones.p
"Then it is n general public
convenience, is it notE' r.......
"To be sure II is. would not
have built it bu, for that. tits so
far superior to any other mill, sir"
"And now," said the old lawyer,
"you tell me that man Jones is
complaining just because the wa
ter from your dam happened toput
hnck into his little spring, and h,
is threatening to sue you Wei
all | have to say is let him sue, AM
hp'll rue the day Ms sure as M,

The Cleveland Convention.

We publish, upon the next page, full re-
port of the proceedings of the Cleveland Con-
vention.
The ticket presented is: For President,
Jo4S G. Fremont: for Vice President, JOHN
CoCHRANE.
1t was the most motley political gathering
that has ever assembled in this country, COM
prising eccentric and disafected individuals
of nearly all parties and factions. While we
think its proceedings will be harmless, so far
as any serious division of the Union masses
of the country is concerned, il may operate
benefcially as sort of safety valve, or es-
cape pipe, for the effervescent spirit of the
times.
If we are not considerably mistaken, it will
turn out that all who participated in the Con-
vention, with the possible exception OF the
German radicals, will be dissatisfied with the
result of it. WENDELL PHILLIPS and his set
will be disguised that the principle of negro
suffrage was lodged in the Platform. The
few War Democrats will be disguised with
the nomination of FREMONT, and the obviously
hopeless prospect of his endorsement by the
people. Even the honor of seeing his name
published as candidate for Vice President,
will not reconcile JOHN CoCHRANE to the re-
suit The New York Democrats wanted
GRANT nominated, and to win the substantial
fruits of victory. They hoped to forestall
either the action of the Baltimore or the
Chicago Convention and to use Gen. GRANT
as an instrument for elevating themselves to
the honors and emoluments of power. They
will not be content with empty honors.
The circumstance that by 10 possible con-
catenation of circumstances likely to arise
| can the Fremont ticket carry a single State,
or even a respectable minority of the voters
of any State, will go far to reconcile WEN
DELL PHILLIPS and his followers to what they
will esteem the great defect of the platform.
They cannot bear success, and are unhappy
except when in hopeless minority. They
are men who love to fight against odds. They
can only thrive under adverse circumstances,
like those plants that grow only where they
are trodden down. The weakness of the
ticket will be its strength SO far as they are
| concerned.
We have heard it suggested that Fremont
will not accept such a nomination; that he
will not permit himself to be used for the
purpose of creating divisions among the
Union men of the country. Such expecta-
tions are groundless, however. Nothing in
his past history warrants them. If we do not
| greatly mistake the character of the man, the
notoriety of running as candidate for the
| presidency, even without the most distant
prospect of success, is to him its own exceed
| ing great reward.

THE BATTLES OF THE WnDERNEss.-The
Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette says there has been not unnatural
reaction in the public mind, with reference
to the value of our successes in the Wilder
ness and at Spottsylvania Court House. The
engagements are found to have been in the
main protracted and holly contested Skin
mishes, rather than great battles; and the
number of killed and wounded conelusively
shows that, instead of "equaling Solferino
and Magenta" they rather resembled such
affairs as the seven days retreat, on the Pen
insula. The contest may have been obstin-
ately protracted, but loss of twenty or even
thirty thousand, in eight days fighting land
two thirds of those so slightly wounded as
scarcely to deserve being treated as disabled,)
does not not indicate fighting like that of
Gettysburg, or Pea Ridge, or Pittsburgh
Landing.
