Ii will be recollected that at the April term
OF the Circuit Court, Ven Lewis and Benoni
Hall we're tried for the murder OF an inoffensive
man in the township OF Keller. Ven Lewis,
being the poorer of the two aud having no
money 10 pay lawyers for their feats OF leger-
domain. was sentenced to the State Prison for
thirteen years. while Benoni Hail. beng the
son of father who was in comfortable clrcum-
stances, was turned out upon the community
by Judge Brown on moderate bail being gwen
for his appearance at future day-the time
was extended by Judge Brown to tue present
term. The case was called up last Saturday,
and the respondent, Hall, not answering, his
BAH was estreated and Bench warrant prompt
~ issued by Judge Stone and placed IN the
hands Of an officer, who at once proceeded to
the township of keeier, took Hall into custody
aud committed him to Jail, where he now awaits
tue return OF Judge Stone who will pronounce
sentence on him. We learn that one OF his
counsel went 10 Lansing for the purpose Of
getting the Supreme Court, now sitting there,
to issue mandamus requiring somebody to
grant him new trial.

remarked that when the Constitution was so

matter in that light at all. Mankind is the

Will promote his own personal interest, either
financ ally OF politically, no matter how large
ms ealacy or compensation may be.
The proposition that large salary will call
to the Judicial ermine a better class of talent
isfallanous. &c witness our 9th Judicial Circuit.
The individual who will be promoted to the
Judgeship must OF necessity be selected from
among the members OF the legal profession Ie-
ding IN the district. No amount OF salary
will make them better or poorer Judges. The
Judge is just what he was as a practitioner

Some answer that tho State has become more
populous and wealthy. and that the business
OF the Courts have increased In the counties

that time the Counties OF Van Buren,, Anegan,
kalamazoo Calhoun and Eaton formed one
Circuit. Now Calhoun and Eaton form one
Circuit, kalamazoo and Van Buren, another,

] these two and half Circuits were served by
one Judge at fifteen hundred dollars year,
now they are served by two and half Judges
at fifteen hundred dollars each year, or three
thousand seven hundred and fifty dollars. an
Increase of cost TO the people OF one hundred
and fifty per cent. for Judges alone. We take
it that the people can see the point without
going into nice calculations and fine-spun argu-
ments. and will act upon their own judgments
made from the observations OF every day life.
One thing is certain and that is, that there
appears to be no lack OF applicants for any OF
the offices where the compensation is fixed by
our present Constitution. Until it is found
difficult to get persons possessing the necessa-
~ qualifications, to take these, the people will
be 10th to increase the salaries, well knowing
that they themselves have TO foot the bills.

From the Detroit Tribune.

The communication from Lieutenant
Governor Holt, published in an other
column and giving brief biographical
sketch of one of the pioneer abolition
lists now living 10 his neig hborhood
will be read with interest by the older
patrons of The TRIBUNE for its revival
IN their memories of an event which once
attracted the national attention, and by
the younger generation of our readers on
account of its history of one chapter in
the heroic stage of great struggle whose
triumphant conclusion they have wit
messed. The Man with the Branded
Hand " was fellow-iaborer with Lundy
and Garrison aud Whittier in an agita
ton which brought with it in those
times neither honor nor riches, and SO
much of personal obloquy and martyr
dom as was thrown in his way was met
with unAinching courage He did the
work of an honest and brave man in a
heroic cause, and there is no panegyric
upon the pioneer workers in the anti
slavery movment ia which he is not en-
titled to u share.
The people of Michigan with their
record of devotion to genuine liberty will
rejoice at the fact that Mr.. Walker has
selected this state as the home of his de
clining years, and will hope that content
ment aud comfort may minister upoI
the hale old age that has, and ought tc
have, followed youth with such al
honorable record.
At the reunion of the pioneer aboli
tiouists in Chicago last month, Mr.
Walkers history and the badge of sla
very's wrath which he carries were well
remembered, ana that convention raised
a small sum to reinforce his somewhat
straitened income. Mr.. Holt states in
his letter that it was gratefully received
and met necessities that actually exist

ne 66E5fT LIKE IT.

In other columns we print a card from
Murat Halstead, the editor of the Cincinnati
Commercial in reply to an article in The
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN few days ago.
The free-lance editor Of the Commercial is,
it will be seen, extremely sensitive and
chin skinned" While he is in the ex-
PLANTATION mood we desire that he will en-
tighten the public upon the Burnet woods
job, in which his friend Mr.. Groesbeck fig
ured so prominently, and which he, in the
Commercial supported from its inception
up to the very hour when the fraud and
corruption that lay behind it were exposed.
Mr.. Halstead has something to say about
the Washington ring" So far as that
portion of his card is concerned, we are
to say that it is lie in every es-
sential particular, and that Mr.. Murat
Halstcad will in short time have the op-
portunity to establish in court of justice
the truth of his assertions
