Common Pleas Court.

Under this heading brother Craw
ford, of the Marion 20. } Independent,
indulges in some pretty severe redec-
tions upon the judicial conduct of
Judge Pillars, of the Common Pleas
Court in that District, while holding
Court in Marion a couple Of weeks
since. He gives the following as his
reasons for his reflections upon His
Honor:
We are led to make these remarks
by the course of Judge Pillars in Court
last week. When the case of Yoakam
VS.. Diebold came up for trial, it ap-
peared that it was for damages under
the late liquor laws. The children of
Yoakam sued Diebold for selling their
father liquor by which he became drunk
and in going home (it being winter at
the time he had his feet frozen so rs
to make him a cripple for life. The
Judge remarked that he was ignorant
that such law existed till the day the
case came up for trial. Mark that
Then he remarked that the law had
been enforced throughout the State by
fanatics and that cases had been
''trotted through courts but that he
did not propose to let the law be en-
forced in that way. He charged the jury
that Diebold must know that the plain
tiffs were the children of Yoakam at the
time he sold their father liquor and
that he sold the liquor maliciously
with the intent to damage them and
that this must be proved before
the jury could award exemplary dam
ages. This we take is mighty poor
law and worse sense. Even in crimi
nal law q man is presumed to intend
what is the natural result of means he
uses in committing crime. If he
uses a gun it is presumed he intended
Something different from sport and if
uses poison malice was presumed. We
can see no difference if man uses
strychnine whisky, he certainly knows
the effect and as for knowing before
hand the persons he may injure it is
the grossest kind of nonsense
Judge Pillars may stand between the
EIiquor-sellers and their victims fol
awhile, but he can not long. There is
a court that will try him-aye, thai
has tried him-thc court of public
opiuion-and like the weak kneed
monarch of old be has been found
wanting. We look upon this law a:
the only defense to many poor, dis
tressed, heartbroLen wife and poverty
stricken child, and we have no goot
word for any man who strives to ren
der it imperative, no matter whethe
he is a judge or man in the pri
vate walks of life
1t may be said that we are fanatic
Be it so. Our fanaticism would de
stroy drunkenness and render drunk
ards unknown and would fill with jO
: and gladness homes now poor an
wretched and miserable. We than
God for our fanaticism.

! Crawford.

Dc1nocrats of Franklin.

In the Democratic Convention of
Franklin county last week to appoint
delegates to the State Convention to
be held on the first of June, the breth
ren had pretty warm time over res
olution offered by Mr.. Wright, of the
ValIandigham division of the Demo
cratic party The resolution that dis
turbed the elements was as follows:
"Mr. Wright offered a resolution as
follows: That we accept as a finali
ty, and in good faith will abide by, the
Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Eiteenth
Amendments to the Constitution of
the United States, and indorse in this
regard the resolutions recently adopt
ed by the Democracy of Montgomery
county, as well as those which relate
to the construction to be giver to that
instrument as amended, the rights OF
the several States, and for a general
amnesty"
This brought Baber to his feet, and
he offered a substitute; but the whole
discussion was ended by laying botl
resolution and substitute on the table
Fayette County herald. [volume] (Washington [Washington Court House], Fayette County, O. [Ohio]) 1860-1???, 1871-06-01

-Vallandigham's Montgomery Plat
form, in which he ''throws down the
shovel aud the hoe" and surrenders
to the powers that be, swallows the Re
publican Amendments to the constitu-
ton acquiesces in the Republican doc
trine of abolition of slavery and negro
suffrage, and finally admits that col
ored man is as good as Democrat, is
making quite breeze among the i'm
practicable members of the party. It
will undoubtedly be a disturbing ele
ment in the State Convention on the
1st. The chivalry connot all swallow
Vallandigham's doctrine of negro
equality. They may try it, but the
darkey's feet will stick out of chival
rous Democratic mouths. Think OF
our neighbor of the Register, who has
such holy horror of negro equality
trying to swallow the suffrage and
equality doctrine! That would be q
show surprising anything Barnum ev-
er presented to IL e public in the show
line.

= The question whether a man can
be compelled to testify against him,
self, is under consideration by the Su
preme Court of the State of Massachu-
setts. A Mr.. Emory, of Lowell, a
hotel keeper, who for twenty or thirty
years has figured prominently in the
courts as defendant in liquor cases,
was summoned to testify before a
Committee of the Legislature, in rela-
ton to the alleged corruption of the
State constabulary force. He refused
to say whether he had paid certain Off
cials money, on the ground that his
evidence might criminate himself
The Senate directed that he should be
committed for contempt; but he was
acquitted to bail until the Supreme
Court could decide upon the constitu-
tionality of the law under which the
commitment was ordered. 1t is
claimed for the State that in England,
Investigations before Parliament, wit
nesses are obliged to answer though
their answers might criminate them
the idea being that in matters affecting
the general interest and safety, this
consideration rose above the fndivitl-
ual's claim to silence as to bis own
criminal acts; that when the State
Constitution was adopted, therulc Of
the common law practice was that c
witness need not criminate himself
but that this was not intended to su
| persede the rule of parliamentary prac
tice, and that therefore persons who
refuse to testify to their own criminal
ty before the Legislature are liable t.
punishment-BWc State.

The GovernOrshin.

The times Indicate vigorous State
campaign, the coming Autumn. Our
opponents are nearly famished with
long fasting. They look with wistful
gaze on the emolumeDts of office.
They are ready to abandon old posi-
ton and accept any new or nntlfed
ground that promises the shadow of a
chance for success. They realize that
they have nothing to lose. Defeat has
followed their steps so long that they
at last realize that success does not
lie in the path they have been tread
ing Hence the new departure of
Vallandigham.
Tt behooves the Republican party to
be equally wise in their day; great
issues are at stake. The Legislature
must be carried for the Republicans at
all hazards. To SECURE this it be-
hooves those who may assemble in
Columbus, on the 2Ist of June, to
nominate a State ticket to scan well
the material that may enter into the
make up of that ticket. Principle
should never be abandoned, but
availability must be taken into con-
sideIation. There are certain locali-
ties that give large Republican majori-
ties, when circumstances eonspire to
bring cut the vote.
The preferences of such localities
should be considered in parceling the
candidates on the State Ticket. There
are plenty of good men who are ready
to accept positions for the various
places, but the Geyernorship should
be looked to with especial care Har
mony and unanimity, if possible
should mark the action of the Conven
ton in making choice of the standard
bearer of the party. We have some
what carefully studied the field, and
from the standpoint which we nov
occupy, we believe General Noyes, c
Hamilton county, to be the stronges
man for the place whose name has ye
been suggested in connection there
with. His record is one OF which VI
may all speak with pride. He is
power on the stump, and will make.
nominated, nging campaign. With
out desiring to prejudice the claims 0

to the place and for whom we ca
work with the best of feeling if the
should be nominated, the Courier i

PARIS.

We clip the following item, in rela-
ton to the condition of Paris, from
the Cincinnati Commercial of Monday
last:
The Versailles troops are at last
masters of the city of Paris, or rather
of what is left of that great city They
succeeded yesterday in capturing the
last of the strongholds of the insur-
gents. 1t is estimated that sixty
thousand lives have been lost in the
fight for Paris, and one third of the
city destroyed. The Archbishop of
Paris was murdered in prison, with a
large number of hostages and priests
one of the most terrible massacres re
corded in the history of Paris. Our
dispatches this morning are unusually
Ineligible, and of extraordinary in
terest.
Fayette County herald. [volume] (Washington [Washington Court House], Fayette County, O. [Ohio]) 1860-1???, 1871-06-01

We rise to explain to the Euquir-
er that the Commercial is not suffering
as to the next Republican candidate
for Governor. Our preferences are not
so acute as to be painful. If the De-
mocracy should nominate the Hon.
VIM. Allen, Bluff Old Ben. should be
trotted out to oppose him. This would
give us all an excellent opportunitv.to
read up ancient history. IF the De
mocracy should nominate Ewing OF
Nc Cook, in our judgment the Repub-
licans would find it prudent to put
General Noyes or Samuel Galloway, OF
some other young in the field. 1t will
be observed that our feelings in these
affairs are largely influenced by cir
cumstances.-TC Gin. Commercial.
Fayette County herald. [volume] (Washington [Washington Court House], Fayette County, O. [Ohio]) 1860-1???, 1871-06-01

IKE rejoicing over the loss of any mans
property, we confess that we have no
expressions of sorrow to utter when
we hear of the destruction by fire of
large or small quantities of whisky, for
we have NR idea that mankind would
be better off If all Intoxicating bever-
ages were to take fire and burn up, and
no more of that curse to the human
race could ever be made.
