A GREAT improvement is apparent IN
our Court of Common Pleas. The order,
decorum, attention to business, and fit
ness for business so far during this term
are in marked contrast with the almost
total want of them during the last term.
This every order-loving man in the COM
munity is pleased to see Chronicle.
Conceding it to be true that the menu
bers of the bar and the officers of the
Court of this county need no defense at
our hands. Yet, we cannot refrain from
saying that such a wanton attack, by
the editor of the CHRONICLE is simply
OUTRAGEOUS. The bar of this county for
a half century, as gentlemen and as men
of talent and learning in their profession
has not been excelled 10y any other county
in the State. This wholesale and infa
nous slander upon the members Of the
bar of our county is all the excuse we
can give for noticing the above con-
temptible fiing.-[Gazette.
1t is barely possible that we were mis-
taken when we said "a great improve
meut is apparent in our Court" and as
the Gazette says it is I" wholesale and
Infamous sIander," we feel like taking it
how the talent and learning" of the
bar are called in question in the item
quoted from the CHRONICLE, but as the
editor of the Gazette is member of the
bar it may crafty his inordinate vanity
to devote portion of his space in telling
the people g howyUs apples SWIM

SUCCESSFUL TANNERS. John Scott United
States Senator elect from Pennsylvania, was
once poor tanner boy; Younglove, Speaker
of the New York Assembly, was also once a
tanner boy, whether poor or not does not
appear in the record and General Grant, the
President elect--about whom some malicious
parties in Washington have just divulged the
fact that an official order for his removal from
command while he was operating against
vicksburg was in the pocket of General
Banks, who was directed to supersede him,
but who declined to present the order, and who,
by the way, was once a poor bobbin boy,
which early condition Of life may be regarded
as the next best lucky thing to having been
poor tanner boy-the same General Grant was
likewise once a tanner--a boss tanner. The
purity of this stock Of tanners cannot be ques-
toned, unless, as in Younglove's and in Banks
cases, there may be a stripe Of. black and tan
mingled with it.
