TnURMAN.-He looks like an Associ-
ate Justice of the Supreme court. Out
side the Senate he is still Senator,
his locks are gray his stomach is ample,
his movements, bodily and intellectual,
are conservative. He is not being Of
crosses, but thoroughbred to the bone.
He never wore paper collar in his
life on the contrary, his swallow-tailed
coat has the easy fit Of familiarity with
good society. 1t may be fairly doubted
whether his fayorite beverage is not
coguac. In one word Judge Thurman
is gentleman, an old Virginia gentle
man, gentleman Of the original Jeems

with watch fob and u silver headed
cane. He came to the front during q
period of extreme drought. lie has re-
manned there by the pressure of IN ex-
cess of responsibility. There are in
Ohio the lurking remains of an effect
aristocratic system which the cumming
propensites of Cincinnati cannot wholly
eradicate. In spite Of these, Thurman
got to the Senate, where his abilities
have maintained and sustained him.

More about the Parker Case.

The counsel for the State in the
Parker oAse, Messrs. Melton, Rion
and Wingate, filed on Wednesday
o bill of exceptions to Judge Mack.
ey's order releasing Parker without
bail. '''".& :. ..r.'f .nnni...ts .
Tue grounds on which tho ex.
ceptions arc based are, that Judge
Maokey had no jurisdiction, that
tho case was not regularly up for
consideration, that the order was
made without notice to tho Attorney.
General, that Judge Maokey pre-.
vented tho Sheriff from executing
the order of the Clerk of tho Court
and vacated the order, holding it to
be without authority of law and
repugnant to the constitution.
BY this it appears that We are to
have another dose of Parker. No
practical result will follow us far as
this arch criminal is concerned. He
will probably never again be soen.
But 1t is highly proper that the ques.
tions raised by Judge Maokey in
this case should be settled definite
ly. The position takou by him
seems very extraordinary, and he
will be Justified in it only by being
fully sustained by the Supreme
Court. 1t has always appeared
strange that ono Judge can invade
the circuit Of another and interfere
with his duties and decisions. And
oven if the law permits it, the privi
lege should be very seldom taken
advantage of. Why Judge Maokey
who has so frequently preached re-
form and denounced tho whole rine
with such bitterness, should be seer
throwing his mantle over the chic
conspirator against the State ant
depriving Justice Of her Lawful
captive is inexplioabie, Parker.
case was not one which should arouse
all tho sympashies of his fellow mon
He richly deserved all the disgrac.
and Inconvenience he was uuderro
ing, and even if the law was more
clear than it is, We should hav,
thought that Judge Mackey woslt
have hesitated to free him by mer,
legal quibble.
| We sincerely trust that tho coun
sci for the State will press this mat
ter vigorously, and let'it be forever
decided what aro the provisions o
the law, and what the powers and th,
duties of u Judge.
