What Constitutes q Probable Cause
Action in Law.

What Constitutes a Probable Cause Of
Action in Law.
Presidents, no more than precept or even
the good that might be fairly expected from
them. No matter how great the disappont-
ment or the failure arising from this perversity
in human nature, we must not weary of well
doing. Precedents, precepts and examples
are required to be freshened up or presented
all the time to the minds Of men, so that no
very great or serious departure from the right
path may ensue. In law this moral will hold
as good as any Of the ethics of life. probable
cause is doubtful phrase at best, but to the
lgal mind its definition is very easily arrived
at and yet it is the cause of great deal of
unnecessary and sometimes of unjustifiable
and heartless persecution on the part of the
wealthy against the poor and unfriended. 1t
does not, however, always screen the rash or
the malignant accuser, no more than, when
justly taken into account, does it leave the
original accuser at the mercy of the accused,
the latter becoming in turn the plaintiff in a
suit of law to recover damages for an assumed
unfounded charge involving character and fair
name.
A case in point and illustrative Of the appli-
cation and scope of the term will be found
in our law columns. The circumstances
present the case Of a persona stranger, sud-
denly called into house on professional
services. These being discharged, in brief
time certain valuable property is missed and
the late visitor to the house is suspected, and,
though search Of her premises is made at her
own request, none of the missing property Is
found. She is subsequently formally arrested,
held to bail, examined and a. length acquitted
of the charge. Upon the conclusion she pro-
cecds against her accuser ia an action for
damages for twenty-five thousand dollars in
the Superior Court, but the action is removed
to the Marine Court, the extent of the jurisdic-
ton of which Is but one thousand dollars. 1t
cluded yesterday by Judge Shea taking it
from the consideration of the jury-he grant
ing nonsuit on a motion made to that effect,
on the ground that probable cause had
been shown for the arrest Of the party charged
with the supposed offence. The Judges
remarks upon this point will repay perasal,
showing as he does the medium line which
lies between a malicious accusation and the
probable cause" which justifies the arrest OF
person suspected of a crime.

YOu Haven't Tried them.

Victim of debility, who is responsible for
your feebleness? Notyourself, you will say,
for you've done all you could TO cure il
That's q mistake on your part.
You haven't tried HOStetter'S Bitters.
Gloomy dyspeptic, with an uneasy stom-
ach and a world-weary face, of course you
don't think yourself responsible for your
own tormentS. But you are. 1t Is easy To
see from your condition that you haven't
tried Hostetters Bitters.
Bilious sufferer, it is not your fault, you
think, that your symptoms grow worse day
by day. Blue pill doesn't do you any good.
Very likely. But you can be brought
round for all that.
Why haven't you tried HOstcttcrs Btters?
Friend, on whom fever and ague alter
nately blows hot and cold, and whose brain
seems to be bursting with the effects of some
powerful drug, do you assume the RESPONSE
bility? o, no! You've taken piles of qui-
nine, and all the regulation medicines.
What could you do IAore? One thing
more-the very thing that would have eX-
empted you from ali the pangs that now
rack you.
You have never tried HOstetter's Btters.
Nervous invalid, what have you 10 say?
You plead that you have taken all the ner-
vines of the pharmacOpTia. If they have
done you no good, it is not your fault. You
are not responsible. Wrong all wrong.
You have, in reality, nobody To blame but
yourself.
Why haven't you tried HoStetter's Bitters?
For all the above named complaints, the
BittcrS are absolute specifies.

M. THEIRS Paris resident, which was
demolished not long since by order OF
the Commune, was a model OF culture,
art, and comfort in its interior arrange
ments. His study contained a hand
some library, while upon the walls here
and there were hung wellexecuted
copies in water colors Of the great mas
terpieces OF Italian art, most of them
Raphaels, and on shelves, in recesses,
and on tables were scattered reproduc-
tons in bronze of the choicest specimens
of Italian art. The house throug hout
overlooked with costly works of art
bronzes, pictures, enamels, medallions,
porcelain, rarely-bound books, engrav'
ings, cabinets, and curious furniture
On the 7th instant, previous to the de
molition, all the movable property in
the house was carted away by order OF
the Commune, and every precaution was
taken that not the smallest article
should be distracted by the crowd out
side. The people in the crowd Jestlngly
remarked while the removal OF the
furniture was in progress that Nj

EVERY SATURDAY for this week comes
to its readers with new claim to favor.
Every copy is trimmed, neatly pasted 30
as not to disfgure the paper, and held
together as securely as if stitched. This
arrangement, which is to be permanent,
will be very great convenience to all
who read the diversified literary con-
tents of Evsry Saturday, and all who
examine its weekly gallery of portraits
landscapes and pictures OF character,
incident and travel.
The machine which produces this
result is the only one Of this kind IN
the world, and is really wonder in Its
working, accom- plishing the various pro-
cesses of folding, FASTING and trimming
at one operation. The two sheets OF
which Euery Saturday is composed are
fed in at opposite ends, are taken up by
the machine and carried toward each
other, while by series OF automatic;
movements, they are folded, trimmed
and pasted, in tranSitu; and arriving
simultaneously at the centre OF the ma
chine, the smaller sheet is placed accu-
ratelv inside the larger one, and both
receive their final fold and are deposited
carefully in the box placed for them,
a perfect paper.
This operation is repeated, when the
machine is at its highest speed, thirty
times minute, producing 1900 copies
an hour, without mistake and variation.

civil Service Reform.

! Most of the corruption IN public
places about Washington, can be traced
directly to the agency of Radical mem
bers Of Congress. They keep improper
persons in office there, and either share
the plumber, or use the tools for polltl-
cal advancement. A few days ago, MIR.
Fisher, late United States Commission
er of Patents, gave lecture in Clncln-
natl on his experiences in Office, in the
course of which he earnestly advocated
a reform Of the civil service, and The
practical destruction of the present
overgrown and dangerous fabric Of ex-
ecutive patronage" He gave many
examples of the inefficient and corrupt
means now used to obtain office.
When Mr.. Fisher took his place, an
examination of the clerks i'll the Of
fee was ordered, and many of them
were dismissed for incompetency.
Several Congressmen Immediately
protested against this. The next
step was to establish Board
to examine applicants for new appoint
ments; the competitive system was
adopted, and the number OF clerks re-
duced. Mr.. Fisher adds the significant
fact that it was necessary to keep this
reform secret, lest they should be be-
sieged by Congressman demanding that
the full number of appointments per-
mitted by law be filled at once, in order
to provide places for friends. Since the
retirement of Mr.. Fisher, all the places
have been filled, and the political fur
naces are in full blast More than one
third of the appointees in many of the
departments have no duties to perform,
but they are paid, and will be used to
do the work of the men who had them
appointed. In this manner, the ex-
penses of the Government are augment
ed, and taxation kept at its rulnous ele-
vation.-Age.

The Head Of the Pennsy ivania DEM
ocratic State Ticket.

From the Harrisburg Patriot.
The nomination Of General William
McCandless for Auditor General will
command the respect Of every intelli-
gent voter in the commonwealth. Not
only do the Democracy hail it with de-
light but thousands OF Republicans
who know the worth Of the gallant
nominee stand ready to show their APP
probation Of the election by endorsing
il at the ballot box. As a soldier, Cen
eral McCandless has a record written
over with the history Of gallant deeds
in defence OF the Union. He entered
the service of the United States on the
9th of May, 1861, as Major of the
ID regiment of Pennsylvania Reserves.
William B. Mann, of Philadelphia,
was commissioned colonel Of this regl-
ment but resigned as soon as active
hostilities began. After his resignation,
the regiment was commanded by Cen
eral McCandless, as lieutenant colonel,
until the 10th OF July, 1862, when Gov
ernor Curtin, in recognition of his
gallantry, promoted him to the colonel
CIV of his regiment. From Mechanics
vile, the first of the seven days battles
near Richmond, until his honorable dis
charge from the service, General Nc
Candies continued in active duty a
great part OF the time acting as brigade
and division commander. lie was
twice severely wounded, first at the
second battle OF Bull Run, while gal
lantly leading his regiment in that
hard fought but disastrous field, and
subsequently in one of the bloody bat
ties ofthe Wilderness. But the splendor
of his military career is matched by his
record as legislator After the close
of the war he was elected State Senator
from the First District of Philadelphia,
receiving a very large majority. He at
once took high rank in the Senate, and
soon came to be regarded as one OF the
ablest, as well a. one OF the purest, men
in that body. lie retired from that
position respected rot only by his own
constituents, but endeared to the De-
mocracy from one end Of the State TO the
other.

Plain Talk to Prize Fighters.

Edwards and Collins, the prize fight
ers, having been arrai gned before JUS
tice Bowling, at New York, for cOnsplr-
inc to break and violate the laws of the
State, 10y encouraging and engaging in
prize fight, were treated in a manner
likely to discourage that sort OF amuse-
ment in that section in the future
Their counsel had applied for their dis
charge on bail to keep the peace. JUS
tice Bowling said:
This prize-fghting must stop; 1t must
have an end cannot, therefore, adopt
the suggestion of the counsel TO admit
You to bail to keep the peace, for there
is no peace with you so long as you are
at liberty. Yeu say that you have

have, you must return to England after
your time has expired to follow your
occupation. This country will not sup

ANDYJOuNsON HEARD FROM.

EX.PRESIpENT JOHNSON delivered q
three hours address before q society Of
mechanics in Knoxville, Tennessee, last
Saturday. In the public procession to
the Fair ground where the address
was heard, he rode among the talIors
and identified himself with them as a
mechanic who had not forgotten and
had never been ashamed of his trade
His address, Judging from the meagre
Geographic report we have seen, was a
curious mixture Of social and political
discussion. -IIe condemns the practice
Of allowing the labor ofconvicts in State
Penitentiaries to compete with that OF
honest mechanics, and expresses his
hearty sympathy with the laboring
classes in all conflicts between labor and
capital He exhorted his hearers to in
dustry and frugality, and cited his own
example as atiording an Illustration Of
what positions OF influence and honor a
mechanic might attain.
But the most remarkable portion
of Mr.. JoHNsoNs speech was his
reference to the National debt.
He asserted that no nation had
ever yet paid any large public debt
without reputation; that the debt con
tracted during the revolutionary war
was nearly all repuiiated, and that the
men Of the present generation have no
right to make this debt permanent
burden on the labor of the country
lie favored the immediate stopping OF
all payments of interest on the debt,
and the application of the sums now
paid as interest to the reduction of the
principal, until it can be cxtinguished in
that way.
Mr.. JOHNSON appears to be irrepres-
sible. He has a wonderful energy and
vitality that prevents him from settling
down into that mild and superannuated
retirement which has been the choice
OF all our ex-Presidents heretofore
We should not be surprised to hear of
ANDY JOHNSON turning up in Congress
again, at no very distant day, and ex-
horting his hearers to "cling to 'he Con
stitution" as of old. Well by the time
they are done with GRANT, the country
will begin TO wish that JOHNSON was
back in Washington as President
again.

IN the recent debate in the Senate
concerning the Imprisonment of the
newspaper correspondents, reference was
made to the case OF PAT. WOODS, who
it will he remembered was arrested ard
imprisoned several months for refusing
to drink with and committing an as
sault upon Congressman PORTER.
Messrs. SUMNER and SHERMAN both de-
clared that WOODS punishment was en-
tireIy without law and that his consh'
tutional rights had been forcibly Vlo'
lated thereby. WOODS ought to bring
suit against Congress for false imprIs'
onment and test the question as to
whether the rights of citizen may be
invaded by mere majority Of the House
Of Representatives.

A Lesson for the "StrOng Minded.

Among the peculiar features OF the
closing scenes of communism IN Paris
is the part which some Amazonlan
women have borne in the fight. The
women's rights advocates of this coun.
try may possibly look upon the armed
demonstration OF female communism as
a proof that whatever man can do, even
to bearing arms, and pouring petroleum
into the cellars and throwing in lighted
fuses, may be done by women. Per-
haps the proposition cannot be disputed
but the fate of the women engaged in
these last operations deserves to be con-
sidered by their ambitious sisters here.
They were shot on the spot, just as men
would have been under the same cir
cumstances, which is a lesson 10 the
strong minded that the immunities and
disabilities enjoyed by their sex are not
likely to be accorded to them when they
unsex themselves. Even the polite
French soldiers kill q women who is
playing soldier or incendiary just as
readily as they would a man, treating
male and female rattesnakes both alike
