Tbs ability of Judge Price is generally ac
kuowIsdgs. lie ia an able lawyer, close rea'
sonsr, and good speaker. With little more
attention 10 rhetoric, an avoidance Of uncoufh
language and al abandonment OF his habit oi
usiug slang and prufane rhrases in hs epe'ehrs
be might become an orator without . superior in
The State as he certainly has il in mis- power to
become a leader at the bar and in politics. In
view of his natural ability, and his power, by
proper culture, to take rank among the leading
diguifisd lawyers of the State, we think he could
afford to leave the brow-beating, intimidating,
and abnsive, to those who are unable to rise to
more elevated plane.
We are entirely satisfied With our lawyers
Mr.. Perry lacks in powers of oratoryi but as a
sound, well-read, ahrewd lawyer, he has not a
superior In the District, and generally manage.
to make out of case all there is In it. His gen
eraI success is the best evidence of his ability.
Mr. Webb is comparatively new member oi
the Bar of the County, but he is getting to be
pretty we'll known. In addition to being an able
lawyer, he is a fine speaker. Men who have
been regular attendants upon Court, say that bis
speech in this case waa the best ever delivered
in that Court House.
The case is left Just where il commenced, and
unust be travelled over again. Or, as Price says
IL has 10 To strained over. He has new story
that lie will tell the next time, about a COW, a
jackass, and pail of milk. But as We do no'
wish to for.siall Prices argument, We desist.
In the meantime, the Chief win 60 on. Price
& year, OF sl.50 year TO clubs Of ten and over
Of Grangers, mechanics, labOring men, profession
al men, OF politicians.
