The leading editorial Of the Memphis
Avalanche of-the 4sh is as follows
Although only enc Presidential ticket Is
IN the field the canvass is already opened;
for Grant is as certain of nomination at
Philadelphia as that the 5th Of June will
come. There is no doubt of this; the
plaee holders have controlled the State
Conventions IN his interest, and his Sc
lection will. be merely matter Of form
80 the people must make choice between
Grant and Greeley; between reform and
corruption; between civil, law guarded
liberty and tn e worst of misFuIe; between
bon esty and dishonesty; between forget
tnlness OF the fierce passions of the war,
and their perpetuatoin. We say Grant
and Greeley, for we cannot be brought to
bsIIef that the strong, clear light cast by
the. events ofths past week has left any
Democrat in doubt as TO his duty to him
self, I'd h country, Grant represents
the mailed hand of the war which, though
the clangor of arms ceased seven years
ago, still holds the South as vice More

THE Massachusetts, lawyers fud ample
scope for the exercise of thsir ingenuity
in trying to aid their clients to evade the
PROVISIONS of the Liquor law Some
rery curious pin have been made in
cases of this character. In the Supreme
Court in Boston, the other day, the case
came up Of two men who we're taken out
of the House Of Correction about eleven
months 90 on a writ of error. The
Judge required the presence Of the men
ia court, but their counsel did not seem
to think that necessary, and finally fat
~ told him his Honor, in effect that they
were beyond the reach of the court
since all that the court had power to do
was to affirm or reverse the judgement
of the court below, and there it must
stop. The men were sentenced for three
months and they had served two days,
They did not escape, They were let out
by the court The time Of their sentence
had expired, and the court had no pow
er to pass d new sentence, the other one
being right Tie Judge gently inquired
of the counsel whether, haging had power
10 stay q sentence, the court could
not vacate its own order, and let the
sentence 20 on2 To thia the council
prom pity responed '',Iot without per
forming a miracle. The three months
for which these men were sentenced are
gone. They are run out They are
passed forever. You Cannot make them
run on again. This struck the judge
as point which required examination
and he reserved his decision.
