JUDGE EMMONs.


We notice in the Memphis Avalanche OF
the 9TH inst, correction vi erroneous
report, copied by it from the Louisville
Journal, of what occurred in the United
States Circuit Court at this place, some
weeks since between His Honor Judge
Emmons, the presiding Judge, and Hon
T. A. r. Nelson, counsel for Boyd. we
regret the mistake of the Journals CORES
pondent, writing as he did from mere ru
NOR. 1t wholly discolors a matter which,
though unfortunate, commanded in its
firm and dignifled treatment by the bench
and the manly and courteous response by
the Honorable counsel, the unqualified
commentator of all.
And now that attention has been called
to the administration of the law here by
Judge Emmons, we know we shall express.
what every member of the bar, and all
who know anything of his laborious and
successful judicial labors here, will hearth
ly assent to, if we say they were so charac-
terized by efficiency and ability as to COM
mand very frequent expression of praise
by suitors and counsel, and we believe such
an administration of justice as has been
exhibited here by Judge Emmons will do
much to restore the old-time respect for
the National courts and the National pow.
er and love for the old flag. We do not
mention it to criticise it, much less to find
fault with His Honors novel mode of al.
ways compelling in the outset develop
ment of the points, in difference. Attor
neys who come into court in the eXpeeta
ton of reading long bills, answers, deposit
tons and documents with associate couE-
sci, preparing an argument and cleaning
points as the proce is going on are FIRE
quently as much irritated as disappointed
when often repeated failures to answer the
questions of the Judge in reference to the
facts the order is hard "Ilet
the cause stand over to give counsel
an opportunity to read the papers" This
is with US a novelty. All papers are
here fully read and the. merits thus learn
ed. Judge Emmons demands a reading
ont of court, and that counsel shall be able
to tell him in the outset what are the diff
cult points about which they can not agree
and they wish him to determine, insisting
that in no other mode can he dispose of %
1.-THE of the matters before him. We refer
to this one now only to suggest that his
ultimate success in giving such complete
satisfaction must be traced wholly to the
readiness and real ability with which sub.
stantial issues here been disposed Of. Moth
ing whatever can be credited to that,
sometimes over-accomodating spirit on
the bench, which sacrifices efficiency and
the time of the court, of jurors, and the
bar to a desire to please and fear of Of
Tending, leading and influential counsel
who in the pressure of business, sometimes,
seek to do in court that which is the legit-
innate work of the Office and study.

of no heart and of little principle, takes the
present opportunity to cast all manner Of
reproach upon Schuyler Colfax. White
law Reid, of the New York Tribune who
was lately to lose his seat to give way to
ColfaX. Shows bad taste in similar abuse
To all such assaults Mr.. ColfaX's friends
can look without fear. They can do
him no harm. His character is now
in issue before the country, but until
lac is finally heard in his defense
his hitherto blameless life and high char
acter will be remembered by thoughtful
peEOns before judgment is passed. There
are few men who have ever been in public

NIT some errors. To condemn him now,
as the two Irtbunes do, as perjurer, bride
taker and e"indler, for the offence with
which lie is now charged would be TO put
him in the same list with the corrupt men
whose whole life has been full of the worst
of crimes. Until forced TO such judgment
by ne final verdict of the committed or

loco. The constant succession OF stone
plates up to perhaps thirty or forty in
number-continues until the chrome ex-
actly represents the original. The very
acme of precision is attained by the
artisan as he applies the various tints;
since the least deviation from the proper
position of the sheet is at the hazard OF
running the harmonious tout c1asenaote.
Seventy persons are employed IN the
manufacture of the chrome, While the
labor and skill employed are lnestlmable.
The well-known Family Scene IN Pom
peii," by Coomans, is the best finished
picture yet offered to the public, and 1t
is astonishing to be informed that this
small chrome required forty-three separ-
ate stone plates, and consumed one year
in it's production. AS matter of course
the first expense of the chrome is often
double, triple, and many times the cost
of the original painting, but when once
the plates are prepared, pictures to an
indefinite number may be struck OFT and
their wide dispensation and sale soon
obliterate the original expense. The
true object of the chrome is to raise, the
standard of art among those classes of
the nation whose inability to purchase
works of art forbids their rise and to
grant satisfaction to those over whose
purses baleful economy mounts guard,
and love of art and nature pleads an un-
availing cause. Many heart is bright
ened, and many wall ornate with these
bright teachers, even drawing man out
of himself into its own little view;
while even one such moment of oblivion
of the great ego, is one step in the path
which leads to perfect manhood. There
is silent, philanthrppic work performed
by the chrome which is worthy poets
panegyrlc but the reward must be
sought in future generations, which will
yet boast that by its medium they at
| tanned their present elevation, through
the education of the eye made accessible
| to all.
Chromo-lithography is a crescent
power, and already is it at the overt
gate of progress, which closed during the
past ages, has oppressed the advance
ment of the masses and has kept iron
guard over cart made tongue-tied by au-
| thority." VDEo.

for his own Qualification, but to serve
the ends of justice. Every man, in
fact, was detective. Hence ''mysteri-
Gus crimes" were unknown and murder
would out" Now everything is left to
the detectives and police. No steps are
taken by other persons, unless it may be
by those having direct personal inter-
est. We know what the result is. There
is another suggestion and we are through.
If there is any foundation for the talk
about the corrupt use of money on the
part of the criminal classes and their
friends, this leaving the entire ferreting
out of crimes to detectives, leaves the
door wide open for such use, and the
consequent suppression of facts. If this
talk is true, it is not surprising that
criminals are not detected, so long as
the general public give the matter no at
tention. If it is not true, we believe
that if every person felt it to be his per-
sonal duty to leave no stone unturned in
penetrating the secresy of violation of
law, if in a word we should return te
the practice of fifty years ago, aided by
our present appliances, we should have
no Nathan or Goodrich mysteries to re-
cord.

The Camp Fire.

Quite a good audience assembled at
the Young Mems Christian Association
rooms last evening, to hear comrade
George Simpson of Post Stannard, Bur
lington, read his paper on "The Capture
of Fort Fisher"
The exercises opened with piano
solo from Prof. G. A Mietzke, which
was followed by the duet, ."When We
gang ava, Jamie" by Mrs. H. w. Kings
ley and Henry w. Bailey. The chorus
by the G. A. R. Glee Club, consisting of
Geo. @. Day, E. NJ. Edgerton, II. w.
Kingsley and E. A. Morse, was then
given, after which the Post Commander,
H. w. Kingsley, introduced Captain
Simpson.
The Captain then read comprehen-
sive and entertaining account of the two
expeditions against Fort Fisher, in both
of which he figured so prominently, in
deed, being the first to advance upon
that stronghold in the first expedition,
and being in the van in the second. He
gave a lulElllOuS IlCluIC VI lIIG SlOuull
and the achievements upon it, with the
operations of the different commanders,
telling in soldiers style and with SOL
dier's frankness of the episodes and mis-
haps of those memorable events He
severely criticized General Butler and his
mode of operations, and gave due credit
to Generals Terry and Curtis and Adj
miral Porter for their efficient action in
the second advance, which resulted in
the capture of the Fort.
We have no space for an abstract for
the paper, which we would like to give,
but can give Captain Simpson the assur-
ance that it was well received, and its
statements substantiated by participants
in the affair. The speaker used map
in explaining the different maneuvres of
the troops, which was drawn and pre-.
scented to him by Henri Pichot of Bur
lington, who was an engineer under Gill
more during the war, and is now sur
yeyor in the government service.
After the reading was finished, Com
rade Joel G. Baker moved a vote of
thanks from Post Roberts to Comrade
Simpson, which was given with hearty
unaminity.

studies his father directed him to pursue.
The pupil declined to comply and was
dismissed from the school. This led to
unpleasantness in the district and the
teacher was requested to resign her po-
sition, which she declined to do. After
a while. however, she left, having kept
school two weeks, and demanded pay
for the whole term of her engagement
four weeks. The district refused pay
ment hence the effort to compel pay
ment by litigation. The result was that
the Jury, under charge of the court,
brought in a verdict giving the teacher
the full amount she claimed.
From the facts and principles of law
involved in this trial, it would seem that
neither the prudential committee, the
parent, some prominent citizen, nor
even the school district itself can ''keep
school, or direct the course of study.
The town superintendent may "adyise'
and, for cause, may revoke license,
but cannot "keep school. The pru-
Dental committee has no more power
over the teacher after his instalment
than any other citizen. The school dis
trict itself cannot by vote interfere with
the management of the school. The
parent cannot dictate to the teacher
what studies his child shall pursue. Sc
the conclusion of the whole matter is
that the teacher alone can keep school.
The moral of all this is !: be careful
whom you elect prudential committee,
and let the committee be careful whom
they place in the high and responsible
position of teacher. Com.

s. Who Keeps School ?r

Or, in other words, in whom is vested
the responsibility of controlling the dis
cipline, classification and course of study
in our public schools?
Is this power vested in the town SUI
perintendent, the prudential committee,
the school district itself, some ''promi-
nent citizens, the parent, or is it in the
duly installed teacher ? :.
A case pertinently suggestive of these
questions came before the Rutland
County Court during its late session,
and the issues involved pretty thorough
ly ventilated by able counsel. 1t ap-
peared that lady teacher, fortified by a
estate certificate" running five years,
was employed to teach district school
in the town of Wallingford. While at
tending to the classification of the pu-
pills, during the first week of school, a
promising lad-son of prominent cit
izen"-was directed by the teacher to
provide himself with textbook in geo.
graphy or grammar, in addition to the

Letter from Chicago.
!'WAsHINGToNIAN HOME.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, March %, 1878.
Editor Rutland Herald: The Wash
ingtonian Home is an institution for the
reformation of inebriates, similar to the
Asylum at Binghamton. N. Y, and the
Washingtonian Home in Boston.
You may be surprised to learn that |
have taken myself 30 such an institu-
tion-but it is not more strange than
true. And when you look about you
and see so many young men, who, at
first, take an occasional glass, but ulti.
mately go to ruin and fill drunkard's
grave, you need not feel greatly surpris-
ed to learn that | am in an inebriate
asylum.
No man is sure to keep out of drum
kenness who takes an occasional glass,
even if he does talk temperance. | am
satishen that total abstinence from all
that can intoxicate is the only perfectly
sure rule to adopt. have never known
a person to adopt and adhere strictly to
that and become a drunkard. There
fore / think I will in the future adhere
strictly to the rule of total abstinence.
| find that l have only one glass OF
liquor to contend with and that is the
first glass. 1 believe one glass is not
enough to induce me to risk my position
in society, my life, indeed my all. Most
inmates of the Home make an effort tO
do what I have suggested-resist the
first glass. Happy is the man and re-
ioiced are the friends of those who re-
main faithful to the end.
Perhaps l should explain more clearly
in relation to the cause of my being
here. [ was not brought here, but
came in response to a "call" of the trus-
tees of the institution, who wished me
to become its superintendent posi-
ton which have accepted.

STATISTICS OF HORSES, CATTLE AND
SHEEP.-The annual returns received at
the statistical division of the Depart
ment of Agriculture shows a decided, if
not heavy, increase of stock during the
past year The increase is in horses,
cattle and sheep. The aggregate of
swine is nearly equal to the total of last
year. The increase of horses is mostly
confined to the New England States; in
mules, mostly to the Middle States,
while the decrease in COWS is confined
almost entirely to the Southern States.
Those in which there is no change of
the number of cows are Delaware, Mar
yland, Virginia and Kentucky. The
prices of farm stock are better sustained
than the rates obtained for other pro-
ducts of the farm. The price of horses
has advanced in nearly all sections of
the country. Sheep are somewhat
higher in certain sections, and trifle
lower in others. The price of mich
COWS has advanced in the South, and de-
clined slightly in the North. Horses
bring the average highest price in New
Jersey, oxen ia Maine, and that of
mules is highest in the Southern States.
A continued advance in the price of
sheep is apparent throughout the coun-
try, whilst that of hogs has increased in
New England The advance is most
marked in sheep, amounting to nearly
one per cent, or about one million in all.
The increase in horses and cattle is
about two per cent.

CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED
SCHENCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP,
SCHENCK'S SEAWEED TONIC,
SCHENCk,S MANDRAKE PILLS.

SCHENCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP,
SCHENCK'S SEAWEED TONIC,
SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS,
Are the only medicines that will cure Pull
monary Consumption.
Sometimes medicines that will stop a
cough will often occasion the death of the
circulation of the blood, hemoIrhage fol-
lows, and, in fact, clogging the action of
the very organs that caused the cough.
Liver complaint and dyspepsia are the
causes of two-thirds of the cases of con-
sumption. Many are now complaining
with dull pain in the side, the bowels
sometimes cOstive and sometimes too
loose, tongue coated, pain in the shoulder
blade, feeling sometimes very restless and
at other times drowsy; the food that is ia
ken lies heavily on the stomach, accom-
panied with acidity and belching of wind
These symptoms usually originate from a
disOrdered condition of the stomach or a
torpid liver. Persons so affected, if they
take one or two heavy colds, and if the
cough in these cases be suddenly stopped,
the lungs, liver and stomach clog, and re-
main torpid and inactive, and before the
patient is aware of his situation, the lungs
are mass of sores, and liberated, and
death is the inevitable result.
Schencks Pulmonlc Syrup is an eXpec-
torant which does not contain any opium,
nor anything calculated to check a cough
suddenly.
schencll's seaweed tonic dissoIves the
food, mixes with the gastric juice of the
stomach, digests easily, nourishes the sys-
tenn, and creates q healthy circulation of
the blood. When the bowels are costive,
skin sallow, and the patient is of a bilious
habit, schenck's Mandrake Pills are re-
quired.
