en- from the case by persistent printed osinmny
The effort has been somewhat persistent it
has been carried so far, regret to say, as to
reach attempts to bespatter more than one of
the Judges before whom the case had come to
be triable.
Such assaults upon Courts are certain, even
yet, to recoil on their authors. without other
injury, except to the cause of decency. As
attempts by Intimidation to impede or infiu-
ence the course of justice, they deserve to be
rebuked. AS ebulltions of spite, au1 as
abuses of the freedom of the press, they
ought perhaps to be overlooked amcng the
petty brutalities of progress i alluds to the
subject TO bring it to the notice of your Honor,
and to say that the impudence of these libel
lers has given to NY espousals of this case
wamth, which but for their attacks, it would
never have had; and to say, further. that after
my right to act as couasel had been thus called
in question, would have tried this cause had
no fee or reward attended it beyond the con-
seriousness and satisfaction which every law
yer must feel when he proves that he has the
courage and virtue to maintain the rights of
his client and himself against popular clamor,
aud despite the pens of lbellers, whether they
write from malice, or only for q railroad pass,
or for hush money or black-mail.
In England, a barrister offered retainer
WHO should refuse it or throw up the case for
fear that obloquy might fall on him for doing
his duty, would forfeit his prestige and stand

be would be held in meaner estimation than ii
he refused to appear against the humblest
peasant in all the realm The memorable
language of Lord Brougham, on the trial of
Queen Caroline, was only a passionate, out
pouring of this chivalric sentiment. - q
In this country the morale of the profession
in this respect has not yet reached the standard
which has long been maintained in West
minister Hall; but would hold myself unwor-
thy place on the rolls, if, being asked to argue
case involving great sum OF money, the
regulations of many and the interests of many
more, and involving also. grave questions of
law l should shrink from standing at the bar
of the country and indicating, as best could
the constitution, the law and the right, even
for an unpopular or hated client, because
political opponents or slanderers might defame
me for doing it, | give my gage that if the
time shall ever come, politics or no politics,
when 1 am afraid to brave such dangers
afraid to hew to the line of professional integ-
rity and fidelity, let the chips fly where they
may, l will confess myself unworthy to stand
before a cOurt-unworthy membership of the
bar--unworthy the association of men who
place truth and honor above the passionate
discords, the groyelling resentments, or the
acclamation of the hour. 3 EFthA

DIR. SCHENCK'S
PulmOnic Syrup. Sea Weed Tonic, and
Mandrake Pills.

These medicines have undoubtedly performed more
cures of Consumption than any other remedy known
to the American public. They compounded of
vegetable ingredients, and contain nothing which
be injurious TO tue human constitution.
Other remedies advertised cures for Consump-
tion probably contain opium, which is somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases. and il taken freely by
consumptive patients, it must do great injury; for
its tendency is to confine the morbid matter in the
system, which of course, must make a impossi-
bic.
Schenck's Pulmonc Syrup is warranted not to
contain particle OF opium: 1t is composed of pow
erful but harmless herbs, which act on the lungs,
liver stomach and blood and thus correct all NOR
bid secretOns and expe all the diseased matter from
the body. These are the only means by which Con-
sumption can be cured, and as Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the
only medicines which operate ID, this way. it is obvl
GUS they are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary
Consumption. Each bottle of this Invaluable medi-
cine is accompanied by full directions.
Dr. Schenck is professedly at his principal office,
corner Sixth and Arch Streets, Philadelphia every
Monday, and at the Quincy House, Boston, on the

Teachers Institute.

Toae Editor Of the Press: az
The annual institute for York county closes
to-day 1t has been in session five days, under
the leadership of Hon. John H. French, state
Superintendent of Schools Vermont. Twenty
five Years experience in this line of work has
certainly qualified DIR. French to rank among
the best of our institute instructors, as well as
to entltle him to the position Of one of our
ablest educators. From the kind and order of
topics presented this week, and from the man
ner in which they have been handled, am
quite sure the teachers of Maine have the
promise. for the coming fifteen weeks of insti-
tute work, of a rare treat in the philosophy and
methods of teaching. The attendance has
been small-about fifty teachers enroled,-the
total number in the county being four
hundred and fifty. The proportion of
school officers has been very much less. Evil
IDENTIFY teachers and officers need extra prompt
ings from some source to reap the full advan-
tages afforded by the donations of the state in
aid of institutes. The, quality OF the attend
ance has been remarkably good. 1t has been a
week of close, studious attention. The note
books have been well filed; inquiries for the
schy and the hO,D have been frequent and
pertinent, and our only regret is that all of the
teachers in York county were not present to
carry away fresh thoughts, suggestions and
methods into their school work. Prof. N. A.
Luce has ably assisted in the management Of
the institute, and has been especially success.
full in his department of free hand drawing for
primary and mixed schools. This is a subject
of great Importance closely connected with the
orderly development of child faculties, the cnl-
tivation of taste in the older pupils and skilled
workmanship among our artisans. E
Evening lectures have been delivered during
the week by DR.. French and Supt. johnson.
These have been well attended. We hope to
learn that larger attendance of teachers. par
ticularly from the country, will be reported at
the succeeding Institutes to be held in various
parts of the state every week till the first of
