questioning witness in reference to the
animals habits and disposition. Have
you ever driven her?" was asked. 81
have" " was the reply. "Was there any
one with you at the time ?" was the next
question. "There was a lady with me-"
the witness answered, and he blushed a lit
tie. "Was she a good driverP" was the
next question, the lawyer referring to the
animal, but the witness understanding that
he meant the lady. "She was, "he replied.
"Was she gentle and kind?" asked the
legal limb, and the reply was in the affirm
ative, though the witness, still thinking OF
the lady, looked a little surprised. "She
didn't kick?" was the next interrogation,
and decisive "No" was the answer
"She didn't rear up,o kick over the traces,
or put her hind feet through the dashboard,
or try to run away, or act ugly, or"-the
witness was boiling over with indignation
by this time, and interrupted the lawyer
with "Do you mean the horse or the lady?'
"I mean the mare we're talking about"
thundered the counsel. "Oh ~ was the
response, thought you meant the ga"
And with this explanation the pursuit of
justice was resumed.

JAMEs FL. HOWE, a nephew of Senator
Howe, and who was appointed last win
ter United States District Judge of the
Eastern District of Wisconsin, has re-
signed, after one years service. His
health is not sufficiently strong to enable
him to endure the severe labor which a
Judge must give to his duties. While
General Manager of the Chicago and
Northwestern r. R. Co. Judge Howe's
health was much broken. His labor
there was SO excessive, and his respon-
sibiities were so large, that it wore him
down. Judge Howe has been on the
bench but single year, yet he has prov
ed himself to be an honest, upright and
fearless judge, and the people always
part with such man with regret.

An interesting suit has been commenc-
ed In the yellow-brick city OF Milwau-
kee. It is brought by A. NJ. Thompson
against the Milwaukee Sentinel Printing
Company; N. S. Murphy, its President;
w. G. Roberts, its Secretary; $. G.
West, Postmaster; and Matt 81. Carpent-
er and others. He alleges in his com
plant that he is the largest stakeholder;
that defendant S entered into aconspiracy
tc procure an issue of $4,000 stock;
that this stock was 'tgobbled' by them;
that this stock was issued to obtain con-
troll of the Sentinel, and use it in the in
terest of Matt 81. Carpenter. He alleges
further that the agreement upon which
the additional so, 900 stock was issued,
that Carpenter should take the stock off
the hands of the conspirators, was IN
known to him when he consented to the
issues; that the conspiracy was carried
out by the removal of the complainant
from the office of President, and the
appointment thereto of Murphey, law
partner of Matt Carpenter; that the new
President was the author of certain
Hbelous articles against Attorney Gener-
al Sloan, the Hon. W. P. Lynde, and
Samuel Rindskoff, and that for such
mismanagement he ought to be removed.
He therefore prays for the cancellation
of the stock fraudulently issued, and the
appointment OF Receiver. It is ex-
pected that something interesting will
be developed.

The Judiciary Committee of the State
Assembly has reported favorably bill
providing that no person shall be con-
fined in the county Jail on arrest upon
process in civil suits, unless there be paid
by the person causing the arrest twenty
five dollars every twenty days for the board
Of the prisoner. This is very well as far as it
goes, but it does not go far enough. While
imprisonment for debt, and in civil suits, has
been abolished in principle in this State, and
this has become q recognized principle in most
of the States of the Union and among the en-
lightened nations of Christendom, both the
principle and the law are evaded frequently by
appeals to legal tecLnicalities or by the vim
dictive action of prosecutors. Not only should
those causing the arrest of persons who may
be imprisoned be compelled to pay for the
board Of prisoners, but they should be liable
for heavy damages when mere vindictiveness
and insufficient cause of Imprisonment can be
shown. A rich man who is determined to
persecute an enemy in q case Of debt or civil
suit will not mind paying the board of a pris-
oner to crafty his revenge. The law is too
partial and loose, or too loosely interpreted, as
it stands, and ought to be made as clear as
possible, SO as to protect the liberty and rights
Of the citizens.

There is q stirring controversy in Massa-
chusetts over the attitude which Judge
Hoar is supposed to hold towards the Civil
Rights bill of Sumner. Judge Hoar, as our
readers know, is candidate for the vacant
seat. During the canvass q statement was
made, on the authority of Wendell Phillips, to
the effect that Judge Hoar was opposed to the
bill, and had SO expressed himself to Sumner.
Some of the Judges friends have denied this
statement, the most prominent denial being
that Of Mr.. Williams, who telegraphs to
Boston that he accompanied Sumner home in
carriage, when he expressed his qualification
at the support offered by Judge Hoar to this
measure. The objections had been altogether
of a constitutional character, and we take it
for granted Sumner removed them. The
question now arises, Is Judge Hoar a fit man
to be Senator If he entertains. these convic-
tions? The Judge himself will not express
his views, and he is called impertinent there
for. We think the Judge is right. To give
any expression of opinion now would look like
an attempt to barter or baggle for the Office.
Senators should be chosen for their general
worth, their experience the beauty and infu-
ence of their lives, not for their opinions on
any one question. We respect Judge Hoar for
his manly Roman frmu ess.

PATRIOT PROGRESS IN CUBA.-The details
we print this morning of the recent battle
near Puerto Principe indicate much greater
success for the Cubans than the Spaniards
were willing to admit and show an unmis-
taxable patriot progress that even Concha will
not be able to weaken The Cuban cause is
more hopeful now than at any time since the
beginning Of the rebellion, while the condition
of Spain in the Antilles grows more hopeless
day after day. Industrial and financial dis
tress are added to the drain Of war against the
insurgents, and it cannot be very long till the
power Of the Spanish Captain General sue
cumbs to the indomitable spirit Of the Cuban
fighters. One of the grand results to be gained
by peace and the extinguishment of Spanish do
minion will be an end of the barbarities which
have disgraced the struggle and made the
names OF such men as Valmaseda and Burriel
hateful in every part of the world.

The Voice or Now York.

Nothing is more pleasing to the mind of the
people than the position which New York has
taken in this financial debate Our public
servants, without distinction of party, have
sustained the policy of financial honor. MIR;
Fenton put himself early on record, while the
Message of Governor Dix sounded like a
trumpet call in favor of integrity and sol
vency. The Governor has done many brave
things during his long and eventful life, but
his prompt support of the policy of honesty
and fair dealing at q time when imitation and
folly hold sway will be long remembered as
among his most meritorious achievements
Senator Conkling, with his accustomed in
trepidity and with even more than his accus-
toned eloquence Numbered against the in
fanny involved in the Senate bill "Such q
policy" he said in words we are proud to
quote from New York Senator, ''spurns the
experience of all epochs, tramples on reason
and right and violates the pledged faith OF the
nation, as attested by solemn and repeated
acts Of the American people in Congress as
sembled, by avowals Of every department of
government and by declarations in national
convention Of the political party which chose
most of us to seats we now hold, and chose
also the Chief Magistrate, bound by his word
against every scheme and device of repudia-
ton and dishonor." We sincerely trust that
the anticipation thus expressed as to the ac-
ton Of the President will be justified Presi-
dent Grant has one of those splendid oppor-
tunities which occur rarely, even TO man as
favored by fortune as he has been. Let him
be worthy of it, and thus share with Wash.
ington the honor Of being ''First in war, first
in peace and first in the hearts Of his coun-
trymen."

The Faults or Our street Cleaning

The Faults OF Our street Cleaning
The Assembly Committee has reported to
the House the result of its recent investiga-
ton OF the management of the Street Clean
ing Bureau in this city. Its report tells us
that the business of cleaning the streets has
been neglected; but this can scarcely be re-
garded as a discovery, since the fact has been
known to every resident of New York ever
since the bureau was created. 1t states that
there has been unnecessary expense" in the
prosecution of the work; but it scarcely
needed committee from Albany to give us
that information. The people know very
well that two-thirds of the large amount Of
money squandered by the bureau has been
''thrown into the dirt" instead of being
honestly expended on its removal They
would not have complained of the
cost of the bureau, heavy as it
has been, if it had really given us clean
streets; but they do object to paying literally
for cleanliness and realizing in return for the
investment an increase of filth. The report
charges on subordinates OF the bureau the
offences of Matchmaking and favoritism, and
no doubt in the course of the protracted in
vestigation, the committee has discovered
evidence sufficient to justify the accusation.
But nothing better could be expected as the
fruits of system loose in its construction and
free from the checks and direct responsibility
which should surround the expenditure of
large sums of money.
What the committee fails to do, after all its
labor, is to suggest some plan by which the
peoples money will not be wasted and clean
streets will be secured And this suggestion was
just what was wanted and expected from it.
1t thinks it bad plan to place the street
cleaning in the hands of the police, but it
leaves it there. In fact, it shifts on to the
shoulders of the Legislature the responsibility
OF providing remedy for the evils it finds
to exist Yet a simple method Of reform
might have suggested itself to the minds
of the committee. An honest, capable
commission, appointed by Governor Dix,
with full power to clean the streets after
their own fashion, either by days work
or contract, ought to give us the reform
we need just as effectually as similar COM
mission gave us the Central Park and would
give us rapid transit. If the Legislature will
supply the omission of the committee, and
create such Street Cleaning Commission, we
shall hear no more of inefficient management
neglect, blackmailing, favoritism or waste Of
money such as the committee processes to have
discovered, but which it proposes to leave
undisturbed.
