The LegaE Farce.

We have heard OF good many strange
things in the Temple Of Theniis in these
latter days-sach as Governors practtcing
lava Judge sharing with pet attorneys in
the fees Of clients, &c.,--but the way In
which lawyer Beach put through Wells,
Bond & Co., before Commissioner ChahOon,
rather takes the shine of Of anything we've
seen or heard tell OF.
Note the points:
These grave dignitaries we're formally
charged by afidavus with feloniously viola
ting the laws Of the United States. The
United States Attorney was notified and
his presence requested. In the first tnsaace,
he declined coming. The prosecuting par
ties employed ether counsel, who took the
necessary preliminary steps to vindicate the
msjesty Of the laws; again the officer OF the
Government was appealed to to perform his
duties.
At last be came, aad his first act was to
dismiss the counsel already engAged-pro-
testing that be was competent alone TO con-
duct the case. That proceeding excited the
suspicion whether we'll or iIl-founded is
for Others-that he was in the Ring, aud
while pretending 70 defend the Government
was the friend Of the accused.
His next step was to move that the case
70 S3ultuurG Ou dcCONub ot tue absence OF
material witness. This looked we'll; il
indicated disposition to investigate the
truth. But in a short time be changed bis
sround, and although the material witness
was skill absent, he cOnse nte& to 20 into the
trial. TIE aggrieved parties vehemeatly
protested, but 10 vain.
The next day telegram was received
stating that the material c4aess would cer-
tainly be present by next morning. The
examination OF other witnesses was con
tinusd for awhile, when suddenly the United
States Attorney announced that be took
upon himself the responsibility Of dismiss
ing the case. The defence faebly protested !:
the Commissioner readily assented-and il
sands mooted point for all time whether
Wells, Bond and Dudley did or did not pur.
loin letter Of Samuels and Allan. These
last swear positively to the fact-and rhers
Is no evidence on record TO rebut their al.
legations.
Ii the United States Attorney acted in
tie interest Of the accused, he buneled
shamefully aud hopelessly Compounded
his friends
" But has the GoUernsaqrt no friends ~
Isl inquiry which some people are simple
enough 70 make Richaa0nd Win.

The Tribupe's Atlanta, Ga, dispatch
says: Hon. Joseph Adkins Republican
Senator from the Nineteenth District,
was assassinated in Warren county,
this State, on Monday. He had been
frequently warned net to enter the
county, though it was his birth place
and home. Paying no attention to
thaeats, he started for home few days
ago. On arriving at Deering Station,
eight miles from his residence, his car
risge met him, and in it he proceeded
homewards. When within two miles
of his house a man issued from the
woods close by and saluted Mr.. Adkins,
who recognized him. The salutatlon
was instantly returned, and was accom-
panied by the drawing and presenting
of the assassin's pistol. The fellow took
aim and fired at the Senator'S heart,
the ball killing him instantly. Mi.
Adkins was staunch Republican, had
been many years Baptist minister,
and bore an irreproachable private char
.cter Political animesity alone could
have prompted his assassination. lie
was one of the delegation of Georglans
who visited President Grant some weeks
ago to urge fully legal recenstruction
for his state. He is the second Repub-
licsn rnembsr OF tho Legislature AID
second of that delegation murdered
since the adjournment Of Congress. He,
like DR.. Avre, has psrished by the way
side, as was recommended by so-called
Republican paper OF this city.

Rrtef Thoughts.

A heroic soul is scornful of being
scorned.
Fair dealing is the sand and cement Of
society.
A penitential tear in value surpasses
the wealth of words.
The universe is the visible garment of
the Invisible.
What we call birthday is the funer-
al of the past year
To conquer fear, always do what you
are afraid to do.
Let girl stray in the field after roses,
and they will redden her cheeks
The aim of disputatlon and discussion
should not be victory but improvement.
When our feelings contradict theories,
the feelings are true, and theories false.
No human heart is ever vacant lt
has an inhabitant either an angel or q
devil.
When we know that . man has de-
ceiyed us we appear more ridiculous to
ourselves than to him.
The true lover, if he so far forgets
himself as to indulge JOY when alone,
will feel as if he were guilty OF robbing
his partner.
TO know the pains of power, We must
90 TO those who have il; TO hear about
its pleasures, we must go to those who
are seeking it; its pains are real, It's
pleasures imaginary.
To indulge anger is to admit Satan
as q guest; but to indulge malice Is TO
close the door upon him as an inmate;
in the one he finds n transient lodger; in
the other a permanent home.
In eur efforts to reclaim and savemen,
or. at wisdom is needful to adapt the
means used to their various cases. Some
must be allured by kindness, and efforts
for them should be gentle, ss those OF q
nurse with her children; others must be
aroused by terrors, and urged by the
thunders Of the coming wrath.

DIED OF DISSIPATION.-The papers
chronicle the death of Col. Robert ohm
son, son of the Ex-President. The de-
ceased was young man of some prom
Use, but contracted habits OF dissipation
in Washington, where he was petted
and popular. He became so reduced,
bodily and mentally, some time since,
that his father placed him in private
lunatic asylum. His constitution was
however, too far undermined for medi-
cal skill to effect his recovery. He was
o young man of naturally good impulses,
but weak, and easily Influenced and led
by others. He entered the service du-
ring the early part of the rebellion, rs
Captain in a Tennessee Regiment, and
rose to the rank of colonel by daring
and bravery. The Junior of this paper
remembers him well as q gallant and
chivalrous officer, one exceedingly pop
ular both with his fellow officers and
the men of his command. His conduct
then was fully up to the average of army
officers in point of s0briety, but his re
moval to the corrupt and vicious society
of Washington speedily effected his ruin.
From the hour he went there his path
was downward with frightful rapidity.
Under proper influences, and with good
associates, Bob" Johnson, as he was
always Familiarity called, might have
become more than ordinarily brilliant
man. This is another of the sad fruits
of evil company and vicious habits

Too TRUE.-Henry Ward Bseeher, in
a sermon deliveredin in Plymouth Church,
produced the following picture:
MEN seem ashamed of labor, and
often you will find men who have made
themselves respected by labor, have
built a business and amas.ed fortune,
who turned to their sons and say: You
shall never do as 1 did; you shall be
spared all this" On, these rich mems
sonsl They aim to lead life of emaseu-
lated idleness and laZiness- Like the
polyp that floats useless and nasty upon
the sea, all jelly and tiabby, no muscles,
no bone. it shuts and opens, and opens
and shuts, and sucks in and squirts out
again, of no earthly account, influence
or use. Such are these poor fools. Their
parents toiled and grew strong, built up
their forms of iron and bone; but, deny
ing all thi. to their sons, turn them upon
the world boneless, muscleless, simple
gristle, and soft at that.
