Mr.. James O'Bren, who has q fraudulent
bill against the county for services which ne
Aid NOT render as Sheriff. declined, yesterday,
tbrouob his COUNSEL to submit his claims to
tbe BOARD appointed by Gov. Dix, consisting
of Messrs. Vermilyea, Cadwallader, and Booth.
Now il seems to us that if Mr. OBrien had
any faith in the justice of his claims, he would
not ask better Commission than this. 1t is
because he knows that his claim is illegal, and
that his bill seeks to rob the county as he has
robbed it before, that he declines to go before
this very fair Commission. Mr.. 0'Brien has
already received from William NJ. Tweed the
greater portion of the claim which he now
presents with the funds of Tweed in his
pocket. He ran as a Reform candidate for
Senator, and by the use of his money was
elected. He now seeks to secure the balance
and repay Mr.. Tweed. He is no more entitled
to payment than Mr.. Tweed himself. More
than this we imagine it is not necessary to say.
Judicial affairs in Utah are in confusion
again. on account of the difficulty OF obtain
ing iuries. The old quarrel as to the right or
the United States Marshal or the Territorial
Marshal to summon jurors has broken out IN
a new form. The Supreme Court of the United
States has decided that this power OF sum-
mons belongs to the last-named functionary
accordingly the Legislature, which is Mormon,
elected a Marshal instead of waiting for the
Governor to nominate as the law provides.
The Marshal so chosen is incompetent TO act;
consequently there are no jures. Washington
dispatches say that the President attributes
this deplorable state of affairs to the neglect
of Congress to legislate so as to provide
against this constant tendency to conflict OF
jurisdiction. This is a just criticism; and as
there was not the same excuse that the Presi-
dent really had a policy of his own, as there
was in the Louisiana case, the failure of Con-
gress is more unaccOuntable.

We are glad to see that the taste for artistic furn
ture which Rossett and Eastlake and Morris the
poet. have done so much to establish in England s
beginning its existence here. There is House
hold Art Company in Boston which imports articles
of English manufacture and makes similar ones OF
its own. Within the last two or three years Amer-
cans have developed rapidly in the direction OF
household beauty. journey through furniture and
paper-hanging establishments reveals instead OF tbe
old. coarse. and glarng discrepancies of form ana
color delicate contrasts and bits of real artistic eA
ceence in the shape of medallion and carving draw
ing and coloring. If there is rather too decld'da
tendency toward the copying Of old French forms
and ornament it is at least better than the common
place and merely costly combinations winch nave
hitherto filed most American houses.

The Tribune Lecture Extra No. s, issued this
morning, and designated as "The Museum
Extra" is in almost every respect the most
remarkable of the SERIES The twelve lectures
by Prof Agassiz which it contains, have not
only attracted widespread interest by their
revelations of strange facts in vital pro-
cesses hitherto unannounced, they have
also afforded one of the most eminent
of living naturalists the opportunity for re-
cOrding his unrelenting opposition to the
Darwnian theory. The New-Haven letter
describing the remarkable fossils discovered
by the exploring parties under Prof. Marsh in
the Rocky MOuntans-discOveries which are
of the highest Importance to geological science
is republished in this Extra which con-
tains also a description of the fossil human
skeleton recently discovered at Mentone !;
and two lectures of which only brief extracts
have hitherto appeared in print :-Vestiges of
Antiquity, by DR.. lie Plongeon, showing nu-
merous points of similarity between the re-
mains of early races in South and Central
America and those of the old world; and the

The decision of the Court in the case of
Miss Susan B. Anthony, accused of illegal
voting, is substantially identical with that of
the United States Supreme Court in what is
known as the Myra Bradwell ease. Judge
Hunt holds that the right of voting arises
under the Constitution of a State, not of the
United States; that if the right belongs to
any person, it is because he is entitled to it
as a citizen Of the State where he offers to
exercise it, and not because of citizenship of
the United States. The Fifteenth Amendment
provides that no State shall deny the right of
suffrage on account of Grace, color, or previous
Condition of servitude." The question of SEX
therefore, is not touched by this addition to
the fundamental law. Further, the presump-
ton of the defendant that she had a right to
vote is not admitted in bar of conviction of
the offense alleged. The Judge charged that
ignorance of the law excuses no one; and that
every person is presumed to understand the
effect of his own acts. There was no ignorance
of the law in this case, but an undertaking to
settle principle. These are the main points
involved in the charge to the jury; their YER
dict of "guilty" was, therefore, in strict
accordance with the instructions of the Court.

That something must be done to facilitate
the transportation of freight between the
West and the Atlantic seaboard is universally
admitted. OF the various projects which have
been suggested, one of the boldest is that
which is designed to commit the Federal
Government TO the building and control of a
freight railroad. Such plan was introduced
and discussed, yesterday, at a meeting of the
business men of this city who are Immediately
interested in solving the problem of rapid and
cheap transportation by rail. The insuperable
difficulty in the way of securing quick time
for freight trains, as the roads are now or
ganized, is the fact that these must wait for
the frequent transit of passenger trains. 1t
has been proposed to add double tracks for
the exclusive use Of freight. Having the fear
of consolidated mOnOpolies before their eyes,
some of the heavy customers of the railroads
favor a Government ownership of such chan
nes of transportation. The need is. crying
one; but government railroad would be a
dangerous experiment, as well as an anoma-
lOus undertaking.

The Wear and Tear of Life.

The cares, anxieties and misfortunes Of
life have as much TO do with shortning ii as
disease. They are in fact the source of
hany ailments and physical disabilities
Nervous weakness, dyspepsia, affections of
the liver, disturbances of the bowels, head
ache, hypOchOndria and monomania are
among these distressing fruits. 1t is there
lore of great importance that persons whose
minds are oppressed with heavy business
responsibilities or harassed by family troub-
les, or excited by speculation, or perplexed
by a multitude of enterprises, or in any
way overtaxed or OVerwOrked, should keep
up their stamina by the daily use Of a
Wholesome tonic. Thousands of persons
thus circumstanced are enabled TO Bear up
against the difticuitiesin which they are in
volved, and TO retain their strength, health
and mental cleaness, by the regular use of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Diseases
which are prone to attack the body when
debilitated and broken down by over-much
brain work er exhausting physical labor.
are kept at bay by the resistant power with
which this Incompatible tonic endows the
nervous system and the vital organs. At
this season, when the heat is evaporating
the elements Of strength from every pour
an invigOrant is absolutely essential 10 the
safety and comfort of the public, and is re-
quired even by the most robust, if they de-
sire to keep their athletic capabilities in
statu quo. Hence a course of Hostetter's
Bitters is particularly useful at this period
of the year as defence against the invisi-
BILE disease aflOat in the atmosphere 1t is
the most potent Of all preventive medicines
and for all complaints which affect the stom~
ach, the liver and the bowels, and interfere
with the perfect Digestion and assimilation
of food, it as the standard remedy.

Thursday and Friday, July
24sh and 10Th; were good days at
this place. At that time the stu.
dents Of Oak Bower school, un.
der the supervision Of Mr.. j. A.
Holland, assisted by Miss Mat.
tie Dunnavant, passed an exami-
nation before the public, and gave
an exhibition on the stage much
to the praise of all concerned
In all the exercises, it was evinced
that teachers and pupils had been
diligent and thorough. At IL
O'Clock on Friday, Capt. Burnam
delivered speech on education.
His remarks We're practical and
timely, showing the improperly
of the people entrusting their
children to the government to
be educated, and propriety of a
united effort in our community to
build a good house for school pur-
poses. The Captain knowing
that an effort was being made for
high school at this place, grew
strong and warm when he came
to urge the speedy completion of a
suitable house. His speech was
the thing We needed, and for the
same, he has the hearty thanks
of Trustees and patrons. Mr..
Holland and his assistant have
proven themselves worthy and
well qualified for the position of
teachers. Indeed, Mr.. Holland is
an experienced teacher, wearing
laureIs won in several fields while
warning against the powers of
darkness in uneducated minds
by personal effort he has passed
over many a toilsome cliff of
knowledge, and stands now the
full embodiment of what perse
verence5 can do. May he long
wave to bless the world, shedding
light upon the minds of the young
wherever his profession calls hin
to labor. Respectfully,
JAMES E. BYERs,
For the Board Of Trustees.
