Just Enough to Acquit
THE voTE!

The Court of impeachment on
Saturday last, proceeded to vote on
the eleventh article of the indict-
ment. The order of voting was
reversed to test the strength of
party fealty. Afterthe defeat, the
further consideration of the subject
was deferred until the 26th, and in
the meantime it is said Southern
States are to be admitted in order
to secure more votes for conviction.
That is, after the evidence for the
prosecution and defence is submit
ted, and after the argument is con-
cluded, and a verdict partially rem
dered, the jury is to be packed, by
introducing new members who are
pledged in advance to vote for
conviction! We cannot credit the
'report--it is too monstrous.-
The following was the vote. 1t re-
quired precisely nineteen votes to
acquit:
For coaviction-Anthony, Cam
Ieron, Cattell, Chandler, Cole, Conk-
ling, Conness, Corbett, Crager,
Drake, Edmunds, Ferry, Freling-
huyson, Harlan, Howard, Howe,
Morgan, Morrill, of Vermont, Nor
rill of Maine, Morton of New York,
Patterson of New Hampshire,
Pomeroy, Ramsey, Sumner, Sher-
man, Sprague, Stewart, Thayer,
Upton, Wade, Wiley, Williams,
Wilson and Yates-35.
Not guilty-Bayard, Buckalew,
Davis, Dixon, Doolittle, Fessenden,
Fowler, Grimes, Henderson, Hen
bricks, Johnson, McCleary, Nor
ton, Patterson of Tenn, Ross,
Salisbury, Trumbull, Van Wrinkle,

A somewhat singular incident
occurred at Grafton, VT, last week
A Mr.. John Smith being at the
point Of death, his son, Hendrick
Smith, asked that Lis fathers
property might be decided to him,
and the request was granted. The
son was in very feeble health. The
next morning the son died, leaving
the property still in the old gen.
tleman's hands, yet for only a lin.
tied time, as he was taken a.
way before four o'clock P. NJ, OF
the same day, which caused a
change in the property as to the
owners three times within the TWEEN
ty-four hours.

A Judges Opinion About
the Legal Advertising.

we learn from one of our eX-
changes that the Hon. L. c. Houk,
one of the Circuit Judges of East
Tennessee, gives it as his legal O.
pinion, that the present law rela-
lative to legal advertisements, is
wrong and unjust, and should not
be enforccd-that the law hereto
fore was equitable and right
that under it the parties could Sc
lect their own paper, thereby CIV
ing the sales and other notices the
largest publicity. We think the
Judge is entirely right in this O.
pinion. IF the Legislature creates
courts of law, it ought not to man.
acle those courts, SO as to destroy
that Justice for which they were
erected. We contend that all le-
gal advertisements are under the
control OF the Court-not Parson
Brownlow nor the Legislature.
The Judges know more about the
Courts over which they preside,
than adozen Brownlows, and hence
they have a right to make just
such laws as will secure justice to
all clients. And more especially
should they do SO, when there is
an unconstitutional law enacted
to try and force them to doa wrong.
We believe there. are more Judges
than Judge Houk of his opinion.

There is a man living in Texas
near Houston, who at the battle
of Richmond, Kentucky, in 1862,
lost his right arm. He is now en-.
gagged in working on a farm, and
with his left arm cuts and splits
one hundred and fifty rails day,
and two hundred when his timber
is cut for him. He had a pillow
made for himself with only one
handle to it, and plows as good a
furrow as anybody, and at all work
makes good hand.

A Specimen Brick.

The New York Express says
the value of reconstruction" on
the radical plan is evinced in the
condition of Tennessee. Every ma
tive body that can is getting out
of the State, and leaving places for
adventures with carpet-bags to
fill. These latter, as fast as they
obtain footing and power, tighten
the thumb-screws Gu all whites not
of their own stamp, and encourage
the negroes to perpexate such out
RACES as the natives cannot bear,
but must resent. This brings
Brownlow's militia down upon
them, and thus we hear of murders
in thatregion almost daily. Mem
phis used to be a fourishing place.
Five thousand persons have left it
within ninety days. Whole rows
of store houses in the most eligible
business portions of the city are
untenanted. Dwellings in streets
are vacant. The poor have scan
ty employment, and some are on
the verge of restitution. Provis-
ions and rents are held at exorbi-
tant rates. Here is a specimen of
the fruits Of reconstruction, as
Congress wants it. The other
States, about to be drought in" I'M
der the same benefcent code and
system, are pretty we'll ruined al
ready; but when the "Brownlow
plan" gets Systematically at work,
the ruin will be equal to that of
Poland. -s-

The Legal Notice Out
rage.

The Radical organ of this city,
the insatiate recipient of Treasu-
Iry pap from the State, county and
city government, warns the officers
of the law that certain small
crumbs fail to fall in its basket
and makes it the occasion to de-
fend the mean partisan law, by
which all the legal advertising in
the State is compelled to be insert
ed in some halfa-score of starve-
ling so-called Republican newspa-
pers, none of which reach one-fif
tieth of the readers in their res
pective districts. There is no
more parallelism between a regu-
lation requiring, under penalty of
legal forfeiture for failure, the in.
!sertion of court notices in certain
designated papers, and the prac-
tice existing before the passage of
that law, than there is between
permitting a man to purchase
merchandise where he sees fit, and
filming and imprisoning him if he
does not purchase at a certain
place. The former law required
them to be inserted in one or more
newspapers, and parties interest
ed had the privilege to direct the
officers to advertise in the paper
or papers of their choice-the
chief object being to afford as ex-
tended notice as possible. Now
they are robbed of this privilege,
and the officers are restricted to
those nominated by the Governor,
and he is compelled to select only
those deemed 'loyal' after his
standard. The present law was
framed, not for the benefit of par
ties to suits, nor for the better
conducting of court proceedings,
but for no other purpose than to
afford the means of support to
certain newspapers, whose politics
are SO unpopular that they could
not subsist by the patronage of
the people. 1t was done with the
willful knowledge that, to a very
great extent, it would defeat the
very object of such publication,
and there is no question that it
does SO. Another purpose was,
to the degree possible, to divert
this source of revenue from Dem
ocratic newspapers, and by the In
sertion Of these advertisements,
in which every one is more or less
interested, in Radical papers, to
force the people to subscribe for
or at least read them. 1t was
one of the most pitiful and plea
yune pieces of business that our
large-minded and liberal Legisla-
ture was guilty of, utterly con-
temptible in itself, but yet an in
justice to papers of extensive
circulation, and a great wrong to
the public at large.-Aashrille I'm

Letter from Judge Patter-,
son in Reference to the
County Court Clerkship
of Lincoln.
Editor Press and Times:

GtttCOT ITeSS anu WHcS:
/ will ask to make the follow
ling communication through the
columns of your paper-frst, for
the information of those concerned !;
and secondly, to correct a misap-
prehension in reference to my de-
cision in the case now referred to.
Under section 500 of the code,
Maj. Reynolds, who had been
elected clerk of the County Court
for Lincoln county, and indicted
into Office by the Commissioner
of Registration, presented to me a
petition showing that Mr.. Gordon,
former clerk, refused to deliver
the books, papers, etc, of Office.
| Under the section of the code
referred to, l issued an order requir-
ing the delivery of the books; or
that reasons be shown before me
at Winchester why the order was
not respected. The respondent,
in his answer, relied upon rec
ord of the County Court of Lin
coin county, which he filed with
his answer, showing that within
the time prescribed by law a con-
test was regularly entered and
determined as to that election in
connection with the election of
Trustee, Register and Tax-Collec.
tor, declaring said elections void
for, among other reasons, that the
officers holding the election at one
or more of the precincts of the
county were not sworn and quail
fed as required by the late fran
chise law, and that the returns
were informally made by the for
mer Commissioner of Registra-
ton. Notice by said record was
given to the Commissioner of Reg
istration to open and hold a new
election. With this record before
me l declined proceeding further
with the order, as no appeal was
taken from the action of the
County Court. / could not legal
ly do otherwise than leave the
Commissioner Of Registration to
proceed under the order of the
County Court. l see that the
Commissioner has ordered an cleo
ton, not only for the offices stated,
but also for Sheriff and Circuit
Court Clerk, which were not con-
tested; assuming the ground that
l had not only confirmed the &C
ton of the County Court, but gone
further, declaring and adjudging
elections void which had not been
contested. In point of fact | had
no authority to revise the cleo
ton OF the court below, there be-
ing no appeal; and had the case
presented such authority, no &C
ton could have been taken as tol
the two last named offices.
The question being tried out of
the county a misapprehension ex-|
lists among many of the citizens of |
Lincoln as to the true action, which |
l hope to correct through this me-
dunn; stating that | neither affirm
ed or disaffirmed the action of the |
County Court, but only accepted
its record as legal testimony; and
that l made no order for an cleo
ton; the proceedings giving me
no such authority, but left the
question with the officer author
lied to control it.
