How JUDGE DAVIS BECAME RICn.=SJudge
Davis, OF Illinois, is rich man. The public
nav not know how he became wealthy.
About thirty years ago, when Judge Davis
was Il practiclng lawyer in the West, he was
employed BY Connecticut man to collect
$500. Davis went to the place where tie
debtor lived. and found him TO be rich in
landed possessions, but without spare dol
lar in money. He finally settled the hill by
giving deed for Il tract Of land-a fiat, moist
and undesirable piece of land in appearance,
lying close by sheet Of water and consisting
perhaps Of sixty acres. Davis subsequently
met his Connecticut client i'll st. Louis; When
the latter IWho seemed not to have the usual
Connecticut shrewdnes>) fell to and gave him
4 regular "blowing up" for taking the land
rather than insisting on having the eight
hundred dollars in cash. He did not want
any of your western land, and he told Davis
that having received it in payment OF the
the money out Of his own pocket. TO this
Davis agreed. Stepping into II friends
office he borrowed $500, took the COnnecti-
cut mars receipt for the land and held it for
Il rise. That land forms part Of the suburbs
OF Chicago. Judge Davis has sold two or
three hundred thousand dollars worth of it,
and has nearly million dollars worth yet
1t is striking example of what western
property has done for its holder, and rs the
story has never been printed we thought il
would be interesting enough TO publish

How BARNARD TAXES HIS DETuRoNEMEST.-
\ correspondent of the New York CONNER
cial AdcertiScr had Il talk with Barnard, the
deposed judge, during which he says:
Judge Rapelo. member Of the Senate,
came up to the Judge to shake hands. As he
held out his hand Judge Barnard turned his
piercing black eyes upon him, and said:
"Will you do me one favor, Judge Ra-
pclloy"
"IeS what is it,"
DWELL, never speak to me or recognize me
again as long as you live !" aud Judge Bar
nard turned his back on him.
Pretty soon Senator Palmer came up TO
shake hands.
The Judge looked straight in his face, and
said: "Senator Palmer you are dying with
the consumption. You have voted the bread
from my children's mouths, and now you
would shake hands with Inc. No, sir; YOU
have got but few months TO live, but you
can die without making peace with me-"
Judge Grover came up and got similar
shot.
Some of his friends think the Judge makes
q mistake in being so severe, as they are of
opinion that the Assembly lave the power
yet to undo what they have done.
But Judge Barnard says "they can't undo
it us he reads the statute

Not for Sumner Not for Reconciliation.
This ground is taken by some two or more
northern prusses in commenting upon para
graph in this paper objecting to Mr. SUMNER
as not a statesman, not fit to make laws, etc,
on account of his peculiar mental constGuc-
ton. These presses themselves are against
Mr.. SUMNER yet we who have undertaken
to support prominent Northern men who
were formerly as wide apart from lis as the
poles are from one another, and yet we must
go Mr., SUMNER. too, or we are opposed TO
reconciliation. This is mere absurdlty.
Do these editors mean to say that if q man
ut the North finds fault In any southern
statesman he is therefore opposed to recon-
ciliation between the North and the South
This objection to what the Dispatch slil
about SUMNER Is only pretended eaptious-
ness for effect. Those Editors are not such
fools as to put the slightest faith in the truth
of what they say, that to object to SUMNER
rs statesman is to object to reconciliation.
The fact is, these hypercritics are GRANT
men, and don't want reconciliation if it Is to
endanger GRANTS chances for election. 1t
is their trick to throw doubt upon the people
of the South all the time-to prolong dis
trust, and to revive the hates of the sections.
But their efforts are vain. The people are
for reconciliation and peace, and they will
have them by the election of GREELEY and
The election of the war party from power.

TIE CAUSE FOR lMPEACiiIEG TIE LAST
CARrET-RAG GoyERSoR.-PoSsibly one OF
the grounds for the threatened impeach-
mcnt of Governor Davis, of Texas, may be
found in his alleged action in proceeding to
issue two millions Of bonds to meet State
appropriations. after having testified In the
Honey trial that he did not intend to issue
them. The Austin Statesman, Houston -iJc.
and other Texas papers. declare that the bill
authorizing this issue was passed by fraudu-
lent means, not reaching final vote until
some time after the hour for Adjournment
sine die had come; that the clock of the
House way twice turned back to give time
for passing it. und that Il ;i:,s ii0t enrolled
and signed until after the Legislature had
ceased to exist. They ins-t that ''thc boDds
so issued are cheat, Il fraud and Il swndlc';
declare that the people of Texas will acknow-
ledge no obligation TO pay them, and call
upon the eastern, press TO give warning &c
that effect IN i''c,t &c The ,atr experience
in Georgia it is probably IL very good thing,
fer eastern capitalists to notice.

SIMMER TRAvEL.--The total number of
passengers leaving New York by steamer
for Europe from April 1st to July 3lst
amounted to l8.30a. The E,irs Gliarced for
the passage fohged from sixty-tivc dollars
currency TO one hundred and thirty dollars
gold. 1t Is estimated that one hundred and
seventy dollars would he tho fair average
expense for the round trip, thus making
49, 1850 as the sum required for the out
and home passages Of those persons who
have crossed the Atlantic this sDring and
summer. There ART eleven lines of passen-
ger steamers running between New York
and the ports of Europe. OF these llhcs seven
are English, three German, and one French,
and the number Of steamers amounted to
one hundred and ten, with an aggregate
capacity of three hundred thousand tons.

ENCOURAGING IMMIGRATloN.-The Commit
tee ON Immigration appointed by the Lynch
burg (Va.) City Council makes cheering re.
port. They have disbursed about $1,000 for
10000 maps, advertising, and distributing in
formation here and in Europe by means OF
10000 pamphlets. Already Lynchburg has
been more than repaid for her expenditure.
Several enterprising English families have
located In the city, and are successfully en-.
gagged in prosperous business; besides, a
number of English and Scotch families have
found homes in the counties contiguous and
tributary to that city.

Power

.--unscrupuleusty exercised never fails 70
make inreads upon Che spirit of independ-
enee, and breaks down amongst its first VIC
tins men Of stiIted bearing and defiant DIS
positicps. They stand out either through
personal vanity or circumstances OF their
lives as the tall trees of the forest, aud fall
first IN the storm. Many Of these tall trees
are to.,ow-hearsed and weak in body lin
'backbone), and down they come, scattering
their honors in the dust!
We have seen this sadly illustrated In the
last ten years In this country. The "hre-
eaterso have furnished shining instances OF
the first to bow the neck, to kneei down ana
Stake their thirst at the putrid fountains oi
power and corruption.
The country hns learned one faiuap'e les
son aud that is, to follow not the connseir
of fesy spirits who boast of honor ana swear
toe rehemcntly about the shedding OF oceans
of blood rather than surrender the ninth
part of lair of principle and right. There
were enough of the wade-in-biood mel
before the war to make large array who
never went IN at all aud out OF their NUM-
bers there are distinguished persons who find
it much better to bask in the sunshine OF
power and wade In office.
The fiery spirits may bring on war, but IL
Is the calm and solid. brave and true-hearted
people that have to fight. These are the men
-and,only thesc-who are "thelr country
stay in dny and hour O. danger"
What is the great Liberal movement now
but movement of tho solid people, upon
whom the Government rests? of those who
have TO bear the brunt Of national calamity
and who have to foot the war bills and main
tain the Government They ars calm and
determined. They are not misled by sky
ssraping notions and political crotchets-
they are not uncompromisingly fighting fol
idle party conceits nor attempting hopeless
things.
they are tired of the present Government
which has abused every power belonging tc
st-they are tired of war-thcy are tired OF
sectional strife and flateInal hate. and they
have gone to work In the only possible way
to reform the Government: by supporting q
former great lender of the party in power
who has boldly declared that there should
be amnesty and peace and Cancellation and
brotherhood amongst the people, the revival
of local State authority, and the restoration
Of the Government to the true constitutions
and republican basis.
This is what the great popular tide is about
to do, and there is to be no diversion froi,
this grand national object. The people arc
moving in it. They zee the national ext
gency, and they know their power. 1t is the
day of solid ideas and manly resolutions
Aud we trust 1t will be a time far off when
the impulsive and unwise and unreliable
rouDses of the fiery spirits of public life
shall have any part in shaping the destiny OF
the land,

ORIGIN OF NEwsrArERs.-The newspaper
was for a long time said to have originated
in Venice in 1868. and to have been called
Gaszeita whence our apprlMiion Gazette.
This, however, was IN error, for the Vene-
tiah newspaper was a rrittcn sheet, for
hearing which read each person paid q

paper was in fact called 4 Particular Rein-

The State Journal would make 1t appeal
that this paper has been harsh and rude it
what 1t had to say Of Mr.. OCoSoN. Tha
gentleman may well inquire what he ha.
done that he should find in the Republican
organ of this city an apologist and how il
is that be who has yearned for the South
and moaned ut the utfiiction of southern peo
pie by the cruel md unconstitutional mea.
sures of tho Administration should be SO
kindly spoken of, so Indignantly defended
by that same organ?
No, we said nothing improper to he said
OF air. OCoSoR, unless to pay him the
highest eulogy and dcplore his great error
be personal offence.
The Dispatch ridiculed his iLea that a
Democrat could be run Into the Presidency
between GREELEY aud GRANT, and presented
by him In surk manner as to throw con-
tempt upon any one who did not believe
that this could be done. Why, even "a
rational baby" he said, would reason that
way. An assertion so absurd, put In such
manner, merltcd ridicule, and baby enough,
indeed, must be the intellect of that man
who, with all the facts before him, could be-
lisse that the schooner-load of Democratic
impmcticables could run in Democratic
nominee with both GREELEY and GRANT in
in the field.
Does the Journal admit that such thing
Is possible?
If it is not possible, we care not whether
it be Mr.. O'CoNoR or who else that proceeds
upon the hypothesis that such thing can
be done, we say no amount of personal good
standing should shield him from the criti-
cisn his folly merits. We say that any man
or men who take that ground are either mad
or influenced by some prejudice which OBJ
sc,ires their judgment. We have no trouble
In seeing that certain persons with whom
they must be associated are downright
knayes.
So, as it is impossible for these people to
elect anybody, they should know that they
are only endeayoring to defeat their OWN
friends and prolong cruel and usurping
Administration. 1t would be more credita.
Die to both their Judgment and their inte-
gritty IL they would follow the example OIL
Messy and go right over to GRANT.

The Belfast Riots.

= Belfast has always been noted for its troll
bles among the turbulent classes of that CITY.
Riots like that which began on August 10th.
and is still continuing, have frequently oc-
cured id Belfast. On August 9Th, 1864, one
broke out which lasted for over ten days,
and IS persons were killed and 31G were
seriously injured. The loss caused by the
stoppage of the mills and other works
amounted to s250,000. The immediate ca'lse
of the outbreak was procession ana tfe
unwilling of statue. Of Daniel CConnell,
A caricati,rp of The Irish Llbefator was car
ried about BIZ the opposite party ana after-
wards burned. This indignity aroused the
feelings of the friends of CConnell to an
uneoyernable pitch. Paving stohcs, brick
hats. and clubs were first used. and then
Guns and swords were rcScrtcd to. The
military, consisting Of one regiment Of infan-
try. two sqlladrons Of cavalry, and battery
of artillery, were ut last called out, and put
down the riot, which the local constabulary
and one thousand special policemen had not
been able to qucll. On August 25d, 1891,
series of riots commenced in Belfast, which
lasted for two weeks; the assaults taking
place in the evening; and each party beng
beautifully provided with guns. This out
break was caused by the har;n9ues OF an en-
tb,Siast named Hanna, who during the riots
kept up the excitement by issuing violent
addresses TO his followers.
The present riots grew out Of attacks made
during a celebration Of the eXpiry OF the
"Proccsslons Act" prohibiting parades and
professions of character likely to be made
pretextS for breaches Of the peace. They are
continued, however, by the lawle>S ana tur-
bulent, who are always ready for such work,
and by the thieves. who see IN them large
opportunities for pluntcr. II Is disgrace
to the peace authorities Of the city, to the
Government, and to all responsible tor the
preservation of order, that they have been
permitted TO go so long unchecked. Nothing
but the grossest partiaity, or parlIsanshp
with the aggrc>sprs, hi this Instance, CAN en-
plain the criminal dilatorncSs Of the local
and general government.
Belfast. the chief manufacturing and COM
ncrci;ll city of Ireland, is situated at the
mouth of the river Lagan, on the Bay OF Bel
fast. 1t is one hundred and one miles north
east of Dublin, and is the great depot of the
linen trade of the north of Ireland, and the
chief scat of the manufactures both pt cot
ton and linen. Belfast is situated in the
counties of Antrim and Down, and COM
prises an area of 5000 acres, of which 1910
acres are in the suburb of Ballymacarret,
county Down. The river Lagan. dividing
the city, is crossed by three granite bridges
and two boat ferries In 1871 the valuation
of the property subject to poor rates
amounted to S2,132,270, and the population
had increased to I74,39l. occupying 2I,M1
houses. In 1866 the imports of Belfast
amounted in value to So, OBS, 900, and the ex-
ports to S59,515,000, making total OF
1922 100000. The customs duties i'll 1867
amounted to S4,15G,51O.
