General sherman as a Lawyer.


The ''early judiciary" of Kansas trans
acted business on equity Of principles. A
good many Of the justices were like ne
cessity-they knew no law-but they
generally did justice about as well as our
courts.
A case was tried in 1857, in which General
Sherman, who then resided on farm in
what was then Calhoun county, was en-
plOyed as an attorney. The general came
in with an immense pile Of law books and
his presidents well selected. He expected
to try the case before Squire Gibbs, as a
good lawyer should, and had taken the
case more for the purpose of aiding neigh
Dor in what he had been made. to believe
was good case, and to relieve him from
injustice, than for any fee.
The jolly old justice came into court and
announced the case for hearing. The gen
eral said the plaintiff was ready. A long.
lank, lean looking genius who stopped
string OF cattle and log wagon in the street,
and stuck his whip with a twelve foot lash
behind the door, appeared for the defense.
The testimony was heard, and General
Sherman delivered his argument and pre-
sented the law in the case in an able man
ner, as a good lawyer would. He read from
the common law of England, and cited
cases i'll the reports of several Of the
American States. The bull-whacker fol-
lowed him, and ridIculed his precedents
and secuted at the books. He said it was
an insult to the court to read from "The
COMMON law of England and declared
that 'if we are compelled to take any of
that aristOcratic British law" he wanted
''the very best her majesty had and none of
her common law" That was enough: the
Justices face was set. and the general lost
his case. 1t was the last he ever tried IN
Kansas He left, and Kansas lost a medium
sort OF farmer-about equal to Horace
Greeley-and the nation gained good and
great general.

South.
From the Christian Union1
There is one question awaiting Congress
at its coming session which ought to be
courageOusly met and made an end of.
There may be no popular clamor to press it:
IT may be possible again to postpone action
on it without immediate and visible ruipous
consequences; yet every consideration of
patriotism and craftsmanship demands that
action be taken. We say, then. let us have
done with furnishing the South: let us no
longer humiliate those who have had so
many humiliatiOns. Is not the nation strong
enough to risk the admission of these men
TO full political privileges! Are We not for
giving enough to have done with the infiic-
ton OF pains and penalties Are we not
wise enough to cease trying to promote
peace by policy Of evaporation There is
especial reason for decreeing universal am
nesty at this time.
The control Of the national government
was never SO secure to the Republican
party. There is no longer any danger of
reversal OF the measures that secure the
black mans rights. Toward the other great
source Of disturbance, the outrages Of the
whites upon the blacks, Congress and the
PRESIDENT have taken every measure OF re-
preston. Let them now turn to the other
haif of the work. They have struck at the
out-cropping evil weed; now let them deal
with the soil whence the weed springs. We
can never get to the root OF the Ku-Klux
trouble, we can never restore the South to
prosperity and weld it in union OF heart
with the rest of the nation simply by meas
ures OF repression. There is a work of mag
nanimity and trust to be done as well, and
IL is full time the work was wrought. The
great measure should not be marred by any
reservations and exactions. If five hun
dred, or fifty. or five men are singled out to
remain under the ban. the practical benefit
OF the measure will be greatly impaired.
we want 1t to speak to the Southern people
a message of free and fearless good will. 1t
can only bear that message effectively, as
it is unqualified and absolute in it's terms.

Power OF the Horses Back.

1t has appeared to us that the power
of the horses back might pc materially
improved by having him gradually ac-
cnstomed to carry an increase of weight.
Training or work if iudiciously COIL
Quoted, will increase the strength Of the
entire muscular system. Consequently
we see no reason why the mpa,les of the
back should not be increased in power,
by being accustomed to gradual in
crease in weight. If this were done
with sufficient caution, it would be the
means of adding to the thickness and
strength of the muscles of the back.
The preservation of the legs is the only
obstacle i'm the way; but this might be
got over by keeping the horse during
the time of his work at a moderate pace.
At all events the matter is worthy of
consideration and investigation. Our at
tenttOn was first directed to the subject
by observing the great facility with
which sacks of grain are carried from
place to place in the market on the backs
of practiced individuals, when compared
with men. though apparently strong, in
experienced in the work. There can be
no doubt tie muscles of the back, by
regular exercise can be brought to carry
weights With ease which they could not
at first endure.
