Justices of the Peace.

EDS CHRONICLE
The Legislature, by an act approved
March 9TH, has made some very important
changes in regard to this office. Their Ju-
risdiction has been so enlarged, that they
now have cognizance in cases where two
hundred dollars, or under, is claimed to be
recovered, instead of one hundred dollars,
or unt.er, as heretofore. The act further
provides that the justice shall tax, as costs,
in favor Of the prevailing party, an attor-
ney fee of five dollars, where less than
fifty dollars is recovered, and ten dollars
where the Judgment is for more than fifty
dollars.
By this act, the Office Of justice Of the
peace assumes at least four times the i'm
portance which it had under the old law.
That is, at least four times the amount
will come before our justice courts for adj
Indication than formerly, and our circuit
court calendar will be proportonately les,
sened.
Heretofore the Office of justice of the
peace has been deemed Of such minor i'm
portance, that it has been filed carelessly
by the people, in most localities, by any
Tom, Dick, or Harry who would accept
the position, and, as a natural consequence,
our Justice courts have become bye-word
and reproach, the administration of jus
tice % therein, a Notifying specticle Of
ignoran ce and stupidity, and the whole,
akin to farce.
Filled as the office often is, by fourth
rate men, possessed of no knowledge of
the law, and bat small share of common
sense, our judicial officers become, either
the weak and servile tools of some crafty
attorney, who, the saying is, "ruas the
court" or in vain endeavor to be Impair
tial," they rule upon and decide questions
of which they have no more knowledge
than a mule has of Greek, first upon one
side and then upon the other, regardless OF
law, Justice or reason.
But under the new state Of the law, it
will not do for us to be thus careless OF
the importance of having judicial officers,
who can administer the law understand
nely. Three fourths of all our laws are
administered in our justice courts. Is it
strange that people complain of g" the in
Justice OF the law" when they receive it
through such tribunals ? 1t is not the lew
that is in fault, for that, as a general rule,
works substantial justice, but it is the NUT
ton headed bungiers who attempt to ap-
ply and execute it.
Our town elections are about coming off,
and in those towns where there are vacan-
cies in this important office, let the people
see to it that they elect for justice of the
peace, their clearest headed man, and, if
possible men who have had experience in
the law. Don't vote for a man for that Of
flee, because he is poor, sick, lame, halt, or
blind, or, because he don't know enough
for anything che but select some man,
who is honest and capable, ard possessed
of mind Of his own, not liable to be made
a weather cock Of by wind that's paid for
blowing. J.

County MAP-We have seen the new
county map which w. j. and &. L. Wrig-
ellsworth are getting up. As far as we are
able to Judge the map will be complete
one. It is on a large scale, so that each
mans house and land can be marked /; the
different towns will be printed in different
colors, and the exact course of each stream
and highway is marked. These gentlemen
have spent considerable time. and money in
this enterprise; have gone over their work
twice, so as to be-sure of correcting errors,
and deserve to make something handsome.
Every farmer, every merchant, every me-
chanic, and every other business man
should have one They are sold for the
low price of five dollars. Mineral Point
Democrats
Thank you, friend Peck, we call that a
frst-class notice. 1t will doubtless be of
interest to many to know that we are
pushingsthe map to completion, as fast as
possible. Part Of it is engraved, and it
will be ready as soon as the engravers
can complete their work, probably two or
three months.

AN ENocH ARDEN BOTH wAYs.-There
was a romantic meeting or railway train
in Iowa, few days since. At stopping
place a middle-agcd woman entered the
cars. A gentleman arose and offered her
a seat beside him. She had just seated
herself when she exclaimed, "Oh, Heay
ens!'' Both parties sprang to their feet,
and while facing each other the gentleman
said, as it possible? How strangely we
have met? But let us part friends. | am
going to my family; you, | presume to
your husband" The lady replied, eve
may part friends and wiser than we once
were. My experience has been bitter, and
doubtless yours the same. You will obige
me by stepping into the next car" The
parties shook hands and separated. Ten
years ago petty quarrel resulted in divor-
cling the parties Both had since married,
and lived to learn that the old love had
not died out.
