Obituary.

Major Charles Edward Fulton died
at his residence in this city, this
morning at seven o'clock, after a
prolonged and painful illness of a
complication Of disorders, which BAT.
fed all the efforts of his physicians.
He was native Of Loudon county,
Virginia, and was about SO years of
age.
He studied at Mt. Pleasant for a
time, and after that read law at
Keokuk, with Rankin & Miller, and
later graduated with distinction at
the Harvard law school.
vss The war found him in lucrative
law practice at Cincinnati, which he
abandoned At once, to enter the SER
vice at the head of . Company in the
66th Ohio Volunteers, which he rails.
ed at his former hons in Urbana,
Ohio.
He was made, directly after enter
ing the service, Major Of his regiment
for gallant aud distinguished sorvi-
ces, but was compelled to resign in
1864, on account of severe wounds
received in the Shenandoah Valley.
He settled in Ottumwa in 1896,
and Immediately entered with spir-
it, into all our public movements, and
at the time Of his death was at the
head Of tho legal fraternity in the
Rpity, and was recognized leader in
levery good word and work.
X He leaves wife and two children
who are plunged into the deepest
griet at the loss Of q kind and affeec-

In the death Of Major Fulton, the
city of Ottumwa has lost a public
spirited citizen, who has served them
with credit as chief magistrate for
two terms, and one who could have
been as lily spared as any other man
in the entire community.

An Unjust Law.

Ii unpleasant; TO find fault continually
with law makers, or with officers who
are appointed or elected &c execute or en-
force the laws. Yet the right exists,
and under that right We often attempt to
explain and to remedy existing evils
Our misfortune Is, that while We are at
tempting to avoid or eradicate one evil,
we often become the victims Of another.
Doubtless the legislature Of the past win
ter, enacted some necessary and whole
some laws, aud some, the usefulness, ex-
pediency, or business Of which We may
well question. And among them is au
act authorizing every justice Of the peace
who enters up Judgment on bis docket
for any sum less ;hau fifty dollars, TO add
to the actual damages the sum of five
dollars for the benefit Of the prevailing
qarty, and ten dollars where the judg-
ment rendered is for fifty dollars or over.
1t true that this is called attorneys
fees. but this IS contradiction in terms.
at least. since attorney. are not known or
recognized in justice Courts.
To make the application perfectly
plain, let US suppose that A owes B one
dollar for which be sues \. and under
our present law B will recover six dollar.
and costs, instead of one. II the debt
be fifty dollars, be will recover and col
Iect sixty dollar. and costs.
That such = Law was mischievous in
its inception and is unjust in its opera
ton, must Be apparent &c any man With
proper sense of justice, and it will new
er find favor with the masses. Even
the attorneys, for whose especial benefit
it is supposed to have been enacted, Will
hardly venture to apologize for it, or
claim it TO be Just.
