LETTER FROM CHARLESTOWN
April %, 1872.

as it is termed in legal parlance but
possibly a misnomer i'll the strict con-
struction of the term, is any thing else
than place of attraction. 1t is one of
those appendages Of society rendered
necessary by the corruption Of man sna-
ture. 1t is literally place of conten-
ton and strife-man against man. 1t
is abnormal in its character, for mans
normal state according to scripture data
would obviate all dispute or wrangling,
Yet in every community there are those
whose element seems to be, to be ell
pared in such fray. With them 1t Is
glory to have case III court. lhey
are proud of the notoriety and thank
themselves lifted in the scale Of public
estimation. There are those too, who
NAV be termed hangers on at Court
gentlemen of leisure, anxious for a job
chilling" to serve the public-so opln-
donated that they think themselves the
very persons to decide in matters OF
dispute between their tellowS-ready to
be snatched up for the .iury-box. All OF
which devotion and willingness for ser
vice is aroused and intensified by the
liberal per diem which the State in It's
generosity gives those who do Its bid
ding. have noted a term that sup
pose has become sterotyped in legal no
mcnclature that the Judge uses instead
of the personal pronoun Lin application
to himself in rendering decision, he
