Learned Advocates OcchslOnAiiy biuhoeT'
An interesting episode occurred in the
argument of the Mabry-Chur3hwell case,
Yesterday, in the Chancery Court, illustra'
ting the familiarity of learned counsel with
Biblical literature.
One of the witnesses who had been ex-
amined in the cause, in order to lay grounds
authorizing him to express an opinion In
regard to G. w. Churchwell's mental con-
dition, said that he had hauled hay to him
forty years ago. Counsel in commenting
on this evidence, and in confirmation OF
the fact deposed to by the witness, remark
ed that he had few days previous seen
the witness in the city trying to sell two
horse wagon load of hay, but intimated
that his continuance in the vocation OF
"hauling hay" for forty years was not cal
culated to expand his mind and qualify
him to give evidence upon question OF
sanity or insanity. In reply, the opposing
| counsel Indignantly resented the iliiberai
| illusion to his witnesses, and among other
| things, said that that beautiful and lovely
| character, RUTH, was CLEANER OF hay
| Here smile stole over the faces of the
! Court and spectators, which caused the
| eloquent advocate to pause as though he was
| in doubt whether he had made the correct
| reference, and, addressing himself TO the
| Chancellor, added: " / belirv your Honor

This subject Of tree planting In large

destruction TO forests. l Is said as II
demonstrated fact, that denuding the

increasing the severity Of winter and
lessening the fall Of rain. The older
settlers Of the tlmbcred southern States
are living witnesses of the fact, within
their own recollection.

WEE PRIMARY ELlCTION.

On Saturday last, to nominate Dem
Ocratic candidates for city officers, at
the ensuing election, on Tuesday, the
7th day Of April next, was one Of the
most orderly and good-hamored con-
vacations we have seen in n long time.
Every one appeared to respect the
rights Of others, and rendered it what
it should be- fair contest between
political friends as to who should be
selected to administer the city govern
ment during the incoming municipal
year. In some cases the contest was
very close, and all the candidates re,
ceived votes enough to show fair
standing in the community. The gen
tlemen nominated are sufficiently
known to need no eulogy from us.
Taken rs a whole, il is ticket worthy
ofpublic confidence, and we can truly
say that II majority of the selections
are of the very best material possible
to obtain. Glance at the nominees
for aldermen, and this will be appa
rent. They will constitute n prudent,
yet intelligent and progressive board,
in whose hands our interests will be
secure. There Were many candidates,
and hence some of our best and most
useful men were left out. In some
cases onr own choices fell u little be-
hind, but they, as we, will lend cheer
full support to the ticket
Nine hundred and seveniy-flve DEM
ocratic freemen OF Dallas peaceably
deposited their ballots, voting their
choice for candidates for city officers
Now, we ask just and thinking men
to compare this open and fair mode of
nominating, where every member of
the party has his full and equal voice,
with the old mode of public meetings,
where COMMISSIONS arise, men become
weary, and a few active, talking men
generally carry the day over the null
titude of quiet and modest people.
1t Is true that the mode of conduct
ing primary elections is not fully per-
fected with us yet, as this is our second
trial. But by another occasion the
whole plan can be so worked as to
guarantee absolute justice. The great

WRONG.

Section forty-four, article eleven OF
the State constitution abolishes all
usury laws, and'forbitls the Legislature
making laws to limit the interest on
money. Many years ago the old sys-
tenn of fixing legal rates of interest
began to be discussed, and many came
to assail its wisdom. In some States it
was finally abolished, andsince March,
1870, il has been cast aside by our con-
stitution. No matter how unwise or
ninous to the interests of the State,
there can be no relief till the constitu-
tioncan be changed. The subject is
one Of great magnitude, and like that
