Judge Fisher, growing ont Of the expulsion
from the bar Of the former by the latter ut the
conclusion Of the Surratt trial. The decision
was in favor of Judge..Fishrr, sustaining the ac-
ton Of the court below. The points OF the de

expelled from the Supreme Court OF the Dis
trict, when it appear, by the declaration that
he was expelled from the Criminal Court. -
Second. Because a Judge cannot be- sued for
deciding ease within his jurisdiction, even
though he decide wrong, and this applies t,
all cases where he has jurisdiction of the sub
ject matter. Third The Criminal Court
! has jurisdiction to remove attorneys from thu
bar Of that court. Mr.. Justice Field deliver

Taxation ut the south.

We of the North can have but faint Idea
Oflthe distress which has been brought upon
the people Of the reconstructed States through
the astrocious rObberies Of the carPet-bag gov
ernments. State after State has been merci-
iessy plundered by relentless adventures,
who have been sustained In their rObberies by
the whole power and influence Of the Federal
Government, and who consequently are eager
for Grants reelection.
The Washington Patriot publishes letter
from citizen Of South Carolina, which gives
a history Of the personal experience Of the
writer in respect Of taxation. In 1860 this
CarolMian was worth $l25, 900. and paid there
on tax Of tl25. In 1871 his property was
estimated at about $3o ,ooO, and his TAX amount.
ed to $500. In that Stats the Legislature has
passed a law validating bonds fraudulently is
sued, and there Is no guessing at the limits
which taxation may reach In the future. II

In Arkansas the taxes imposed on the peO-
pie have caused the forfeiture o: about 5000,
600 acres of land, or about One-seventh OF tn
whole territory Of the State. These lands

offered for sale again and again; but 1t Is no
thought that more than half Of them will hn,
purchasers even at the price OF the taxes; .
that while thousands OF persons are deprive,
Of their homes, the State Is not likely to real

due to 1t. Nothing could give more viyi
idea OF the extreme poverty TO which tn
Arkansas people have been reduced than thi
fact.

crease of 100000 over the previous
year. The Accommodations of the company

MoULToN's TUBING.-Moulton Broth
ers 4 TO-, have now permanently located
at Morrisville, and will commence the
manufacture Of their patent water Tubing
in about two weeks. Their place of bust.
ness is with the Morrisville Manufactur.
ing Company, and new water wheel of
sufficient power to carry all the works,
has been ordered. We have many times
expressed our opinion of their Tubing
and the men who are making it, and we
are still Of the opinion, that for all the
purposes which they claim for it, no better
conductor is now in use, being cheaper and
healthier and more durable. Moulton
Bros, have been unfortunate the past
season, in losing by fire their factory in
johnson, with large stock of tubing
which had been sold, but not delivered
yet they did not pine over their loss,
though the blow was severe one, but
have kept at work, and we hope, will
soon convince the world of the truth of
what they claim. Thirty men, residents
of Morrisville, reposing full confidence in
them, have loaned the firm $4,000 at six
per cent, for five years, in order to give
them start, and enable them to 90 more
largely into its manufacture. W. +.
Moulton, the senior member of the firm,
exhibited the tubing before the American
Institute Farmers Club, and received the
testimonial =

On Monday evening as special
freight train hauled out on to the siding
at Blue-Clay-Cut, on the Harlem Exten-
ion Railroad about two miles West of
Bennington Center two " flats or plat
form cars, become unshackled, and as the
grade is quite descending, started back
towards Hoosic. The road master was
on the ears at the time and tried to stop
them by setting the breaks, but the breaks
did not hold, and he jumped of, leaving
the cars to rattle away down the grade. at
any speed they chose. After running 3
or miles down towards the Valley, they
came in contact with the evening mail
train from Catham, due at Bennington at
7 O'Clock. Charley McMasters, the engi-
neer on the passenger train, says the flats
we're coming at about 60 or 100 miles an
hour, and he was running at full speed,
about 25 miles an hour. They met On
curve, and all Charley saw was streak
He sprang and pulled the whistle, but
there was no whistle there. AS the cars
struck the engine, they upshipped the for
ward trucks, under the boiler, and then
took to the air, sailing completely over
the engine, cab, tender, and two cars,
alighting on the milk car, tearing off the
top of that car, and then tumbing to the
ground upset. In their flight they skim
med the top Of the engine, carrying away
the smoke-stack and other rigging. The
only injuries McMasters received was a
slight cut on the face by piece of glass
from the shattered cab window. The
fireman, Joe Russell was not hurt. A
fragment of wood with piece of iron at
tached, struck close by his side, and he
asked the engineer Hello, Charley,
who DO you suppose is throwing clubs in
here = None of the passengers or hands
we're hurt, although the collision was Sc
we're enough to put out all the lights on
