THEM !" ana you may possibly ConC0i'0
q partial, very partial, idea of Her Hon
or-our judges's appearance and her
sense of legal jnstice and dignity.
Hereford sued Sam Horse before JUS
tice of the Peace for the rent Of house
and lot, and obtained Judgment. Sam
appealed from the decision of the JUS
tice to Her Lordship, 7. G. PutterDaH,
alias Thickhead Groundanklc,ap
as legal adviser for Sir Horse. Sans ap-
peal papers were all wrong grossly, radi-
ically wrong, through the ignorance and
customary negligence of ten dollar gold
piece Putterman-viz. the, appeal was
against the "wrong man" altogether.
Her Honor allowed the declaration to
be amended so as to strike out the name
of "the wrong man." and insert the
name of the Fright man." notwith-
standing, the "right man. had no no.
tice whatever of the action against him.
Query - Why was this donei An
r:-Because Mr.. Horse is one Of the
Radical shriekcrs from whom Mrs. II
vine can fully expect lift on the fourth
Tuesday in October, 1868. But even
the fright man" was not allowed to
show his deed for the house and lot on
the trial, and yet the whole question
was Who is the lawful proprietor?
Oh justice, where is thy GRANDEUR
Ellick Hog drove his aged father out
of his own house, and took possession
of his entire personal estate, stock,
grain, hay, furniture &c, with the aid
and through the influence of our loyal
Doctor William Pillgarlic Rucker. The
old gentleman took the case before
Lady Irvine. Two of the main
witnesses for Mr.. Hog we're his
daughters. The grand jury, which by
the way was accidentally composed of
a few honorable men-found indict-
ments against them, upon abundant,
unimpeached and unimpeachable testi-
mOny, for perjury in this very cause.
Ten dollar gold piece Putterman, nom-
inally tie Prosecuting Attorney, and
virtually the agent of friend, perjury
and low-tricky, here had fair, open
field for the display of his natural du
plicity, yankee cunning and snake-in-
the grass, ungentlemanly and unlawful
practices. He was to get good condi-
tional fee from Mr.. Hog; two of the
witnesses relied on for success in the
cause are found guilty by the grand
jury of perjury. This would have
proved stumping case-an inextrica-
BILE dilemma-to q gentleman sworn to
demear himself as a gentleman, and to
faithfully discharge the duties of his
office. But ten dollar gold piece proved
himself master of the situation, as he
ever has done where knowledge with
out education, principle without
honor, veracity without truth ard
firmness without stability are requi-
site. And what do you think
he did! Stop, stop I'll bet you drink
you can't guess in an hour-I'll give
you day-yes, q month. Well III tell
you. He went up before the Grand
Jury, and in an attempted speech in de-
fence of his perjured witnesses, he awk-
wardly said: ~ know these two Misses
Hog; | know them well, and they are
ladies' after my own heart; they never
did swear to q lie, and | know, in all
reasen, they did not swear TO one in this
case. lam their fathers counsel in this
case now pending against old Jimmy
Nicholas, and my individual interest
requires that you drop this indictment.
In fact this must drop. / am Prosecu-
ting Attorney; have the confidence of
the Judge, and / have right to in
struct you in this matter. But at all
events, tell you once for all, | will not
write out this indictment until the case
between Mr.. Hog and old Jimmy
Nicholas is decided by tie Jury and
Court"-meaning six selected and
picked Radicals and Granny Irvine. A
majority of the jury "listened to
his story" and dropped the indict-
ment. might instance numerous
similar, and even more outrage
ous cases; but knowing the value of
your columns, and that "brevity is the
soul of w.t." l will only mention one
other. DR.. William Pillgarlie Rucker
sued Babtist Huff for the value of LOT
of plank purloined from one of his tene-
ments in the great city of Snmmerville
during the rebellion, and obtained judg-
pent and execution before Esqr. RAIDER.
HUFF paid part of the execution and
gave his bend, with security for the bal.
ance agreed upon-the bond stating an
expressed compromise of matters be-
tween the parties. Subsequently Huff
obtained, through Putterman's influence,
an appeal from Madame Irvine. The
trial came on, aud ii was ascertained
that Huf-s bond to Rucker, expressing
full and final settlement and compro-
mise-was lost by Capt. Hiram Pearson;
Pearson swore he had lost or mislaid
the bond: Constable Cox swore he had
seen the bond, and was positive that it
showed compromise George Morehead
swOre that he knew all about the bond,
and was positive that it did not contain
one word about compromise. The case
went against the loyal doctor. But a
short time afterwards Capt. Pearson
found the mislaid bond among his pa
pcrs. Rucker applied for a new hear
ing. assuring her honor that the written
evidence-the bond-was found and
would prove final settlement and COM
plete compromise of all matters to its
date. But, no, no: there conld be no
new trial in this cause. 1t had been
tried once, and given in favor of Bah.
bist Huff, and our loyal doctor had called
her honor "a damned old granny"
When Granny Irwin came amongst us
after the close of the war, ste- was, TO
all intents and purposes, so extremely
conservative that she could board only
at a rebel house and compare notes
only with Conservatives. Radicals were
nowhere. Conservatives were her COM
pauions and advisers. She employed
a rebel clerk and came near en-
ploying q rebel Prosecuting Attor-
ney. Now she is so radical that a
conservatives hound dog yells distress
ingly when he sees her three story ruff
fed night cap; howls piteously when
he scents her unwashed gowns; aud
runs swiftly when she takes one of her
devilishly hysterical fits. In \ word,
Granny is no excuse whatever for q man;
poor excuse indeed for a warrior aud
the poorest sort of an excuse for q judge
The leading, prominent RAIDS are even
oil down on the old lady; aud / venture
to predict that she will not get, on the
fourth Thursday Of October, 1868, six
votes in this county outside Of the Put
terman. Craig, Msrehead clique, which,
all told, will not exceed twenty very
dirty, illiterate and indecent souls-or
rather snobs.
