NUMBER IA.

| SHERMAN AS A LAwYER.-The "early
judiciary" of Kansas transacted business
on equity principles. A good many of the
justices were like necessity, they knew no
law, but they generally did justice about
as we'll 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 employed as an at
torney. The General came in with an i'm.
mense pile of law books and his precedents
well selected. He expected to try the case
before Squire Gibbs as a good lawyer
should, and had taken it more for the Dur.
pose OF aiding neighbor in what he had
been made to believe was good case and
to relieve bin from injustice than for any
fee.
The jolly old Justice came into Court
and annouced the case for hearing. The
General said the plaintiff Was ready. a
long, lank, lean looking genius who stopped
string of cattle and loo wagon in the
stree, and struck his whip with twelve
foot lash behind the door, appeared for the
defence. The testimony was heard, and
General Sherman delivered his argument
and presented the law in the case in an
able manner, as good lawyer would He
read from the common law of England, and
cited cases in the reports of several of the
american States The bulwhacker fol.
lowed him, and ridiculed his precedents
and secuted at his books. He said it was
an insult to the Court to read from "The
common law of England" and declared
that "if we we're 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 be ever tried
in Kansas. He left, and Kansas lost
medium sort of farmer-about equal to
Horace Greeley-and the nation gained a
good and great General-Lawrence Tri.
