A MEDIUM on THE BENCH.
A CHICAGO JUDGE WHO DECIDES SUITS ACCORD
ING TO SPIRITUAL ADVICE.
from the Chicago Tribune.]

from the Chicago Tribune.]
Among the recent converts to spiritualism
in this city is a justice OF the peace. Not
willing to stop at the foot Of the spiritual lad
der and receive instructions from others, he
has been busted in developing his powers as
medium, and at last has come to such a
pitch Of perfection as to be able to carry on
long conversations with the inmates OF the
world beyond the grave. He no longer wastes
his time in visiting saloons, but stays at nome
at night and holds intercourse with Kent.
Blackstone, and other dead worthless OF the
law. 1t is his great relaxation when he gets
home after q weary session, to light his pipe,
mix glass Of punch, and then have pro-
tracted talk with Sir Edward Coke. This IS
really an improving way of spending the
time, and may be recommended to all who
desire to become experienced in the law.
These little peculiarities of the court have
thus far had no influence upon the outside
world, except to amuse the lawyers who found
their way into his presence, whom he would
inform how, on the previous evening, he had
had long argument with Story on some OBJ
scure point, and had compelled him to own
that he was mistaken. Yesterday, however,
the matter assumed a serious form, and one
lawyer at least is in quandary as to what he
shall do. During the forenoon session a case
came up for trial. The attorney for the de-
tense quoted a decision which will be found
in one Of the early Illinois reports. 1t was
apparently decisive. The lawyer looked tri-
umphantly at the Judge. The latter said:
''Wait a minute; feel the infunce.'
Then the Judge grabbed a lead pencil and
a sheet Of paper. His hand went convulsively,
and at the end of five minutes he had scrib-
bled over the entire page. When he was
through he said to the lawyer:
s.T have inst receiyed a MESSAGE from .Jn6pe
Lockwood, who was one of the Judges of the
Supreme Court at the time this decision was
majority of the members of the then Court,
who are now in the spirit land, after mature
consideration, decided to revt rse their former
Judgment Please inform the profession of
this fact, that they may govern themselves
accordingly
Then the Judge continued: "Under the
circumstances. Mr.. -, you will see that l
can pay no attention whatever to the decision
you have quoted, and judgment must be rem
dered against you.
The lawyer demonstrated, and the Judge
finally agreed to postpone the case for one
week in order to give Judge Lockwood and
his colleagues an opportunity to examine the
matter again and see if they are determined
to reverse their former opinion. The law
yers are meditating what the result will be if
the doctrine of Spiritualism makes much fur
ther progress whether it will not be necessa-
~ for them to burn all their reports if judges
in the spirit land are to be allowedto carry on
the business of making decisions, and Of re-
versing those which they have made in this

PROMPT ATTENDANCE.

We cannot too strongly impress upon the
Democratic members elect of the Legislature,
the great and vital importance OF their being
present in the city at as early day as posi-
BILE. Next Monday the Legislature will meet,
and good deal Of work is to be done prior to
the assembling. 1t will be necessary to hold
frequent consultations in order to arrive at
some definite line of action, and such satisfac-
tory conclusions as will result in giving sue
cess to our cause.
Every member should consider it solemn
dutv which he owes to himself and to his
State to devote himself for the next sixty days
exclusively to the redemption of Louisiana
from the control of the bad men who have,
for the past six years, SO shamefully and so
disastrously misdirected its government.
A desperate effort will be made by the Radi-
calls to retain their hold upon the State. In
their nefarious scheme they have been ma
terially aided by the corrupt and outrageous
action Of the Returning Board.
Unless, therefore, our people are vigilant.
determined and faithful, they will certainly
be defrauded out Of every right which be-
longs to them.
Our members must act in concert, with
perfect harmony and with purpose single
to the good Of the country. Personal aspira-
tions and interested motives should give way
for higher and more patriotic achievements.
Already the enemy is counting on demoraliz-
ing sufficient number of Democratic mem
bers to give a Republican quorum, and in
this accomplish their schemes of spoliation
and fraud. Let every Democrat then beware
of Radical tricks and offers. Be firm, true,
faithful and patriotic and all will yet be we'll.

Growth of the English Race in America

UrOWI0 Of the E0SllSu nACc lii AmcTlC1s
When the first Englishmen settled in these
wild lands the natives regarded them AZ gods.
Their powers were so far superior to anything
which had been hitherto experienced, that the
ordinary nature of human beings seemed made
quate to account for them. They had weapons
which breathed fire and smoke; they could
smite their enemies with sudden death at an i'm
mense distance and in some unknown way; they
came and went in vessels Of enormous size
they had coverings to their bodies OF such hard
ness that dart or an arrow glanced off them ;
in all respects they were wonderful and mystic
rious.
What followed was perhaps the inevitable con.
sequence OF the condl ions thus established.
The inferior race, after . few spasmOdic strug-
giles for the mastery, gave way before the
Superior The red man, sulleDly refusing to be
civilized, exasperated by the cruelty and injus-
tee of which he was frequently made the victim,
or incapable by his very nature Of receiving the
impress Of European ideas, retired from the
shores Of the Atlantic and sought refuge in the
wide regions of the West. TIE history OF the
United States reduced to broad and general
terms, is the his DRY Of an energetic nation OF
white men gradually spreading farther and far
Their into the desert and pursuing the retreatng
footsteps of several nations OF red men, who,
after falling back from forest to forest, and
from waste to waste, now fiutter like waning
phantom between the Rocky Mountains and the
western sea.
Yet, however rapid this advance during the
present century, it was comparatively slow in ear
fier days. For many generations, the colonists

The Southern Republ cans LabOring fer
the Removal of Gen. Emory.

Especial Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.1
WASHINGTON, Dec 25.-The Southern Re
publicans insist that the President has def.
nitely promised that Gen. Emory shall be
removed from command in Louisiana, and
Gen. Terry be ordered to supersede him, by
January l. The complaints against Gen.
Emory on the part Of the Southern Republi-
cans are Of long standing. Before the Penn
instruction the complaints were frequent.
During that revolution neither the President
nor any Of his Cabinet were satisfied with the
administration of Gen. Emory.
The objections in no way affect Emory's
character as q man, but refer to his indecision
of character and lack of executive ability.
It was an absence Of those qualities that, dur
ing the McEnery-Penn emeute, forced from
the President his noted Geographic order to
Emory, "Put down the insurrection and re-
port afterwards" The Southern Republicans
also charge that Gen. Emory has such per
sonal and family relations with Southern
Democrats as to
DIsQUALIFY HIM
for hearty corporation with the President in
supporting the Kellogg Government At the
outbreak of the civil war it was generally
supposed that Emory would join the Southern
forces, and it is said that peculiar chance
alone prevented such action on his part. The
brand, the subordinate officer whom Emory
has designated as Commandant Of the city of
New Orleans They said that Beforehand is
himself Creole, and that he is boon COM
panion Of the White Lacquer leaders in all
social festivities.
1t is feared that if the change is made it
will show that the President has practically
abandoned any expectations of action on the
part Of Congress defining the status Of Lou
isiana and the Kellogg Government. The
President, whether or not he erred in first re.
cognizing the Kellogg Government, insists
that in the absence OF definite Congressional
action he has no alternative but to continue
his executive recognition Of that Govern
ment
THE FEARS OF FUTURE TROUBLE
in Louisiana, in the event of the continued
support Of Kellogg by the President, are not
dispelled, and it is for this reason that thor
oughly experienced military commander of
high rank is desired at New Orleans, The
President once thought of designating Gen.
Sheridan for that position, but Sheridan,
when last here, very earnestly protested
against any change in his assignment. The
Representatives here of the Conservative party
in Louisiana are endeavoring to have the
Congressional Committee investigate theaction
Of the Returning Board. The Republicans
will try to have them visit Coushatta.
It is said that
PINCHBACK
has agreed to Immediately resign after being
seated, if the Senate will seat him and pay
him his salary and mileage. which amounts
to $4,000.

The oStentatious manner in which the ru-
Mored assignment Of Gen. Phil. Sheridan to
the command of this department is paraded
in the Radical "orgsns is eminently char
acteristic of the cowardly knaves who gener-
ally control those mercenary sheets. Forget
tul Of the fact that the gallant sons Of LOUISE
ana have more than once confronted on the
battlefield this overlated and vain lorious
warrior, they imagine that the mere shadow
Of his coming will paralyze the strong arms,
and dismay the stout hearts Of men who are,
At least, Sheridans equals in point of personal
bravery, while the humblest Of them is i'm
menseiy superior in honor and truthfulness
to the braggadocio whose reports Of his
military exploits in West Virginia and the
Shenandoah, justly earned for him the appro-
pirate surname of The Munchausen of the
Valley"

collision with the United States forces. as we
firmly believe they are, Generals Emory or

dan. or the scalping and town-burning Te-

Should they ever come to the conclusion
that their self-respect and manhood require
them to adopt a different course, which
is scarcely presumable, the fact that

particle Of difference so far as they are con-
cerned, and it may safely be predicted that
in that case somebody IS just as likely to be

The abandonment of capital punishment in
Iowa does not appear to have worked any
hopeful reform. The prevalence Of crime
has been greater than ever. Imprisonment
always holds out the hope Of ultimate par
don, while the most hardened criminals view
with terror the memorable penalty Of death.
Murder has increased in ratio OF twofold in
the State since the abolition of the death
penalty. There were recently ten homicides
in the Des Moines Jail awaiting trial at the
last term Of court. By a judicial interpreta-
lion Of the code adopted in 1873, criminals
indicted for murder are bailable, and one who
had wealthy friends recently escaped the
clutches Of the law by the forfeit Of his BAIL
The hostility of public sentiment en-
gendered by these escapes no doubt melted
the violence which resulted in the mobbing
of a criminal only a short time since at Des
Moines. He had been sentenced to impri-
sonment for life, but his crime was so fragrant
that public sentiment demanded his execution.
The law in this case melted to violence in
stead of suppressing crime. Had the capital
penalty been inflicted BY law the State would
have been saved the disgrace and society the
horror Of such catastrophe.
