THE NEW DISTRICT JUDICIARY ACT.

JUDGE POLAND EXPLAINS HIS ADVOCACY OF THE
BILI-THE FACTS IN THE CAsE-THE NEW LAW
AS APPLIED TO NEWSPAPER MEN.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUEE.l
WASHINGTON, June 30.-Judge Poland has
written a letter defending his action in
nIgng the passage of the act extending
the jurisdiction of the Criminal Court of
the District of Colombia He says there has, here
foiore> boen no way in which criminals indicted
jn the courts of the District OF Columbia and escap
lng into the States could be arrested and that Tor
this reason it necessary TO extend the provs-
ions of the SD section of the judiciary act to them
This statement is not true The fact is, that the
courts IN this District have always been able
10 secure the arrest Of criminals in any part OF the
United States The modas Opaandi is as follows: If
ahe criminal has been indicted here the clerk of the
court furnishes to United States officer a certified
copy of the indictment, and he appears before a
United States Commissioner IN the district
where the criminal is found and makes oath
that he has authority TO make the arrest The
offender is then placed in his custody by the author
ity of the United States Commissioner. If no in
dictment has been found, information may be lodged
with United States Commissioner, who issues his
warrant which is served by United States officer
in the district where the accused person is found
An example of a proceeding Of this latter kind
DN~NAS~ -
Tennessee about two years ago. In that case the
commissioner of Pensions made affidavit before a
limited sta:.4s Commissioner who issued warrant
nd sent VI by mail to United States Marshal in
.rar,noaoon orc that officer arrested Stokes and
ANhuNoSpN, 49, = ~ 49,
bro4pht him here. VUJect OF the new act
xsas to enable the Criminal Court here TO
Iarrest offenders at distance without
the intervention of United States Commissioner.
Jud0e Poland saws that he did not have newspapers
in his mind at all when he introduced the BILL The
fact is that no correspondent in Washington knew
that such an passed, until several days after
Congress adjourned and then the discovery resulted
from a remark by Senator, that 1t news
paper men only knew what laws had
actually PASSED, they would discover
that an act much more Objectionable than the llth
,,seetion of MI Carpenters Judiciary act had been
nctually signed by the President. The Grand Jury
of the Criminal Court here, has already indicted
Buell. the correspondent Of The Detroit Free Press,
for libel of Senator Chandler, under this new act
although the alleged ofense was committed long
before the bill was Introduced in either House.

HOME RULE FOR IRELAND.

DR.. BUTTS MOTION IN THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT
THE PROPOSITION OPPOSED on THE PART OF
THE GOVERNMENT AND OF THE LIBERALS.
LONDON. Wednesday. July $3.50 a. m.
In the House of Commons last evening. Dr. Butt
moved his resolution in favor of Home Rule for Ire
land. He maintained that Home Rule involved no
disturbance of the principles Of the Constitution.
The Imperial Parliament, in which Ire
land would still be represented would have the
power to tax all the of Ireland well as
of Great Britain. Since tho union. Ireland had
always been unprosperous and dissatisfied. He
acknowledged efforts had been made to redress her
grievances, but these had failed and always would
fail, because real liberty was denied. He appealed
to the House to adopt his resolution the only real
remedy. BY restoring the constitutional rights
tent and prosperity would be established throughout
the country.
The Attorney General for Ireland gave decided
and emphatic negative TO all thel propositions
which Dr. Butt had advanced. The present pro-
posal was infinitely more dangerous to the
peace and prosperity Of the country than
the demand for tie repeal of the Union. A
collision of the Imperial and Irish Parliaments
would be inevitable, particularly on questions of
commerce and finances. The proposed action would
endanger the whole commercial and social fabric
and the political constitution of both countres it
would be dangerous for England, but practically
ruinous for Ireland. He regarded the agitation Of
the subject as miscbievous and futile.
Viscount Crichton, member for Enniskillen, said
the people of Ulster unanimous in the opinion
that Home Rule was equivalent to civil war and
would inevitably result in the subjugation OF
Ireland by some foreign Power hostile to England.
The Marquis of Harrington said the great bulk of
Irishmen do not desire Home Rule: the question
must be regarded from the imperial point Of view.
and the House having charge of the imperial in
terests, must reject the motion, whatever
be the eject upon the internal affairs Of
Ireland. No consideration would ever in
duce the Liberals to purchase Irish
support by sacrificing the slightest interest of tho
Empire. He felt that any coquetting with the
question will Immediately result in the complete
disorgauization of the Liberal party and urged the
cordial cooperation of Ireland with England instead
of the useless agitation of the question Of separate
Parliament.
The debate adjourned until Thursday.

DIR. Hammond's discovery is great advance
toward the solution of the problem that has puzzled
scientists since the time of Galen. The finding OF
structural changes in the medulla oblongata shows
that the disease called hydrophobiais true nervous
disease. and not blood poison. Dr. Hammond has
found the key to the workings OF the mysterious dis
ease in MeCormick's case He was bitten upon
the first knuckle q bis right band some time
about eight or nine weeks ago He washed it with
brandy, but the virus had already reached tue me-
duila and had begun its insidious work. d. Ham
fnond traced the poison from the point of ingress
into the system to the seat of incubation-the me-
dula obl0ngata. There the diseased action settled
about the great nerves that control the actions and
had also extended to the hemispheres ct the BRAIN
THIS was shown by the peculiar attention that Nc
Cormick began to pay to the subject. The poison
that was working in the great nerve centers said
DIR. Hammond, began to influence his thoughts and
even his dreams As men almost always do IN brain
affections, he strove to conceal the anxiety which
was depicted in his face. When his friends anu
family asked him what was the matter, and
advised hin, to see o physician, he laughed
at them ard said. THAT dog is not mad
From this incipient stage until the aggrava-
ton of the disease about the origin OF the spinal
accessory nerves and the pneumogastric nerves
caused the terrible spasms that only ended In death

lowed by DR.. Hammond great step has been

cases must be followed with as great care as this
has been. But the great discovery by DIR. Ham
mond has pointed out a true lesson in McCofmicks
case at last and others will know more clearly
where to look and what to look for. The
experiments that are to be made will de-
velop further points in the disease. DIR.
Hammond has overthrown the great stumbling
block, and cleared up the inner workings OF the
mysterious disease by proving beyond a doubt that
in the case of Mccormick true lesion existed. II
this is true of this case, it follows, DIR. Hammond
believes. that it might have been equally true in
Others. but had been overlooked on account OF the
observations of the investigator not having been so
advanced as these have been in this case. .

BY a notice elsewhere it will be
learned that one of our oldest citizens
Mr.. John Jepson is about to retire
from active business. Mr.. Jepson's
extended career as one of the leading
grocerymen and as one Of the most re
liable and honorable business men in
the community will be sufficient rea-
son for giving a short history of his
career. Thirty years ago last April, he
removed from the Humphrey farm,
where he had short time before been
terribly crippled by a falling timber at
a "barn-raising," and came to this
place and opened Grocery Store.
In 1852, he removed to McCOnnells-
vile, Morgan County, where he re-
mained but eight months, going from
there to " heeling, where he engaged
in business for sixteen months, and in
April, 1854, he purchased what was
known as the "Benj. Thomas" proper
~ and returned to st. Clairsville; since
which time he has continued in bus
mess at the same place. By the fire Of
1866 his dwelling and store were de-
'troyed, but were rebuilt and moved
ntO in January, 1867.
Mr.. Jepson, although meeting with
ome reverses has been successful in
lis business; he has maintained repu-
alton for integrity of which he may
veil be proud.
AT the advanced age of eighty, he re-
Tres to the more quiet walks OF life,
by all, and with the wish on
he lips of host of friends, that his old
ge may be as serene and happy as his
business course has been high-toned
md honorable.

SALUTATORY.-Wit the next issue
of the CHRONICLE we will enter upon 8
i new year as newspaper corresp md
emit. To those readers who have spoken
words of commendation we uncover
our head, make our very lowest bow,
and with conscious unwOrthiness re-
turn acknowledge as grataeul as
they are sincere. To those who have
clicked" US we extend our H6r and
trust that all future lickings may prove
as free from bodily pain. There is no
literary merit in local items, yet 1t is
very difficult matter to get them up so
as to prove in any degree interesting to
the public at large. We have no apol-
ogy for good words concerning those
deserving ofthem, we de not believe in
"post mortem" love, there are enough
to bruit abroad the faults of their neigh
bors, but alas their good deeds often
pass unnoticed until after death, and
then (too late) the tear is shed and the
kind cord spoken. As faithful re-
corder of events we do not propose to
cover up the faults of the hypocrite, the
slanderer and he who puts the bottle TO
his neighbors lips 50 to do expose
fearlessly not regarding threats of vio-
lenee to person or property. We wish
for all the readers of the CHRONICLE
and for those who ''get it up" a Hap
py, Happy. New Year and we trust that
if the year 1875 must bring for US some
trials and crosses that we will always
view the crown above the cross, and
that the storm-cloud of sorrow may al
ways be encircled by the rainbow
of promise. The old year has also
brought US sorrow, and many of our
Lored ones have folded their white
hands and gone smiling away into the
dim hereafter. Lips we loved to kiss
may have turned cOldly away and the
strongest ties of friendship may have
broken. With the coming of the New
Year let US strain to bury our hatreds
in graves that are deep and plant there
love, and although we cannot forget
our sorrows, let US look beyond them
to the land of promise where we may
sometime be permitted to eat of "The
Grapes of EscLOl."
