An Accommodating Judge

Alta far-western court, the case Of Smith
VS.. Jones was called on.
'Who's for the plaintiff ?" inquired the
Judge, impatiently.
''May it please the court, " said rising
member of the legal fraternity, 'Pilkins
is for the plaintiff, but I left him just now
over in the tavern playing game of poker.
He's got a sucker there, and he is sure to
skin HING right smart, if he has only time
He's got everything ali set to ring cold
deck, in which case he'll deal for himself
four aces and his opponent four queens, SO
that your honor will perceive that he must
rake the persimmons.
Dear mel" said the judge, with sigh;
"that's too bad! It happens at very un-
fortunate time! I am very anxious to get
on with this case"
A brown study followed, and at length a
happy idea struck the Judge:

rae Tort Prisoners

The Boston Advertiser, speaking of the
men now confined in the Dry Tortugas on
charge of completely in the assassination
of President Lincoln, says: "Nobody
ever conceived that Arnold was guilty of
anything beyond the plot to abduct there
are grave doubts whether O'Laughlin, now
dead, was implicated further than that,
and the commission which tried them
understood this fully or they would have
been sentenced to the gallows, instead of
for life at the Tortugas. Spangler, whose
six years term is now more than half ex
pired, is undoubtedly an innocent map,
knowing nothing of either plot; but every
body who ever examined the matter except
President Johnson, became convinced of
this long ago" The Alexandria Gazette
adds to the above: 1--WE believe Dr.
Mndd to be entirely innocent. 1t is time
that this outrage upon jnstice aud human
ity should cease"

Southerners In New York,

The New York correspondent of the

recent letter
have seen it stated il print tlat South
ronism Gf [ may coin & word) has almost
disappeared from this city. The statement
is not III any respect true There is more
of it than ever before. There is hardly q
trade OF profession IL which a large num-
Der OF Southern men are not engaged, and
most OF them have come North since the
war. They are found at the bar. on the
press, practicing medicine, in educational
institutions, engaged in mercantile pur-
suits, IN ba1ks and insurance offices, en-
ployed as clerks in Wholesale stores. and.
in laef, following every business on the
long list of avocatious in New York Then
there are large and constantly increasing
social circles, composed almost exclusively
OF Southern men and women, large and
fashionable boarding houses, where one
meets hardly any but Southern people, a
church attended by Southern people only,
and two hotels known by every one to be
patronized almost solely by Southerners.
Instead OF being on the decline in New
York, Southern influence is constantly in
crea5ng. 1t permeates the whole bushes q
circle, IS found in the best society, and IL
almost brushed against by every saunterer
on Broadway. No doubt this is very an
noying to the 'ioyal" element, but don't
see how that elementis going to get rid of it.

The cotton growers along the Mississippi
river, it is reported, are shipping their
crops to the Atlantic seaports by rail from
ST. Louis. Tho cotton is loaded on the
river boats, is taken to st. Louis. and at
that point is transferred to the cars. The
cost of transportation to New York is 81
AZ per hundred pounds. The principal
reason for adopting this route is the fear
for the safety OF the cotton while descend
ing the Mississippi to New Orleans, and
while stored at that city.
