thereby afforded for fresh attack upon
the administration, individuals and corpo-
rations, as well as for plentiful display
of clap-trap. In process of time, Roscoe
Conkling, United States Senator from New

ling will be rendered the position, nor that
he would accept It, If rendered. Neither
do we believe that he is the proper man for
the place. His temperament and character
istics are, unfortunately, of that kind that
would lily fit him for the position. His
character, habits, and integrity are, how

The leaders of the republican party In
Massachusetts,, among whom are some of
-~,...~y, nave commenced a determined
movement, to prevent the old common
wealth suffering the disgrace of Butler in
the gubcrpatorial chair. A meeting was
held in Boston, Friday, at which some one
hundred were present, and committee
was appointed to take charge of the cam
paign. They propose to go to work in
the right way, and see that the farmers
and business men attend the primary meet
ings, select the delegates to the nominating
conventions, and run the machine, instead
of leaving 1t to the politicians. We trust
that they will succeed, and that the same
kind of organization may extend to other
states. If the people, who do the voting,
would, also, attend and control the eau
Gus and convention, politics would soon
purify itself and honest men rule. ~

TIE Coal CoMBINATIoN.-An interview
OF New York Sun reporter, on Thurs
day, with several of the prominent coal
merchants of New York, indicates the pur
pose of the combination, reported to have
been formed year ago, to be to check
this years production and create an adj
vance in prices. The avowed intention of
the combination is simply to bring the bus
ness back to paying basis, and not to
force the average price above 80 this sea-
son. This is said to afford no more than a
fair and reasonable profit upon the vast
amount OF capital invested in the business.
Dealers, however, while admitting this to
be the case, consider it doubtful whether
such moderate views will long be persisted
in, and believe that the monopollsts, find
ing how completely the trade is under their
control, will next yield to the temptation
to make their prices exorbitant.

..TIlE COURT OF CHANCERY.v

''T1iE COURT OF CHANCERY."
One must have studied and practiced the
profession of law, for over decade of
years, to little purpose, if he has failed to
discover the absolute necessity, to say moth
ing of the perfect harmony and beauty, of
courts of chancery, or, what amounts to
the same thing, courts exercising equity
powers. We are aware that the intermina-
BILE delays and enormous expense of the
system-as they are falsely charged--have
become q standing joke and alleged re-
proach, which Dickens. in his inimitable
account of the chancery proceedings in
Jarndyce Jarndyce, has used with SO much
effect in entleavoring to make the court an
object of ridicule and popular reprobation.
TO the layman, the formal parts of bill
in chancery may seem absurd, and the
same idea has probably impressed every
one on reading common warranty deed,
but, after all. If they do no good, they
work no harm. AS for the matter of ex-
pense and waste of time, proceedings in
equity are not, necessarily, more so than
suit at law, the counsel and parties having
the same control over the one as the other.
As for doing away with courts possessing
equity powers, and exercising equity juris-
diction, the attempt never has, as yet, been
made, and, probably, never will be, as it is
one of the great safeguards against wrong
and oppression and n necessity will always
exist for such q tribunal until our legislators
are gifted with inspiration, so that they can
foresee and provide against all possible
contingencies of the future, and the world
shall learn TO act righteously and all the
people to do equity. The nearest approach
to an attempt To abolish courts of chancery
will he found In New York, and in other
states which have adopted "code of pro-
ccdure," as they call 1t. Yet in those states,
courts exercise the jurisdiction and powers
of court of chancery, grant injunctions
restraining suitors in courts, etc. 1t is, in
reality, only doing the same thing with
change of name and of form.
Right here we cannot forbear remarlsing
that broad smile must have rippled over
the faces of grave judges, learned lawyers
and common sense business men, as they
read-and which smile must have deepened
into something more audible as they con-
tinued TO read-from the leading editorial
of one of Vermont's daily newspapers, Fri
day morning, that " the presiding judge of
" the county court has to be clothed with
" an outside power, operated by compli-
" Gated and expensive system, extremely
" tedious In arriving at results, for the pur-
pose of preventing him from doing in
" Justice TO the suitors who apply to his
" court for relief; but this is just what
