Sharp Practice.

i matter has arisen out of the prosecu-
ton and collection OF Judgment rendered
by the | nIted States court of claims, in
voiving grave considerations touching the
practice OF that court and the. moral aud
professional conduct of prominent III m Der
OF its bar. Il seems that Judgment for &
large sum was rendered by this court last
Apri!, in favor OF Georgia claimant. The
usual clerk 8 certificate OF that TACT wac
suspended b. reason OF the United States
attorney, taking all appeal to the Supreme
Court. In this state o. affairs, a certain
lawyer by the name of Weed, whose only
connection with the case consisted III per-
sonal knowledge Of the parties, went TO the
assistant United States attorney general,
who IL the absence Of his official superior,
dismissed the appeal at Weeds urgent re-
quest. Of this action, Weed failed TO notify
tAe proper attorneys, but proceeded follow
the case into the treasury department, for
the purpose OF getting 1t through. Here,
according to uniform usage, II became
necessary for the attorneys of record to
execute a stipulation permitting the depart
ment to retain so much OF the money es
would meet the internal revenue tax thereon.
TO conform to this rule, Weed executed the
stipulation and signed the names Of the
lawful attorneys thereto, without shadow
Of authority; out then pocketed the fees of
regular attorneys, amounting 30 something
like s 500, and forwarded the balance to
the Georgia claimants. The lawyers whose
wages were ,has coolly gobblsd have filed
q bill in the court of claims setting forth
the above facts, and the papers have been
placed in the hands Of the district attorney
here for his consideration. Weed is an
Illinois man, snd was appointed assistant
solicitor of the court of CLAIM under Presi-
dent Lincoln administration.

THE Courier finds the following
to Mr.. e. G.. Van Ripper,
in the Cincinnati Enquirer of the 10th
instant:
e. G. Van Ripper, Esq, one Of the
most active and enterprising citizens
Of Evansville, Indiana, and one OF the
most effective workers In the Demo
cratic party of the First Indiana DIS
trict, is 10 the city on = short Visit.
Evansville owes much of her recent
progress and present hourishlDg con-
dition to the energy, pluck and zeal OF
Mr.. Van Ripper, who, though 5tiI!
very young man, has identlhed MN
self with every measure for the WEI
fare of that city, and is recognized as
a mower in the municipal government.
The Democrats talk of making him
their next Mayor, and we hope they
will do so. Such men are scarce, and
when found, should be we'll treated"
Little Van was the headlight to
the Democratic train until he demon
strated his ineapacity for selling the
Water Works bonds, and Mr.. Isaac
Keen had to make good his defcien-
cy. Since then he has lost prestige,
and does not eli his party with elan.
We think. however, by securing q
sufficient number of puhs in the pa
pers. similar to that which appeared
in the Enquirer. after his visit to that
city, he may be able to recover
some of the lost ground.
