An Act for the Encouragement OF Libel
Suits.

The following bill was introduced into
the Assembly of this State and referred 10
the Committee on the judiciary, some
time ago:
hereafter De Joined, the plaintiff ihal have The ugnt,
after having served notce of trial ana upon two dgyi
IRE ny Juice holding the Chambers Or Special Term
IN the court 10 wnich any such action Is brought %
tan, Nhich shan not be less than thirty days
than ninety ys thereafter IN where such action
Il brought IN Tie counties OF this State where
thsn four trIl terms Of the court IN which action
brought appointed TO be held In year
IN counties where four less trial terms appointed
down Tor trial on The hr.i day OF the next succeeding
thai Term u be held the county where such action Il
brought or which the place Of trial may be changed
Ana 1t shall be the dutS of any such Judge, hefo re
whom the application r. made o grant order com.
pying With The foregoing provision; aud IL shall be
the duty Of the clerk OF such court upon whom tuch
ord T. serve 10 place such action on the cay calendar
OF the day Indicated In such ORDER
What has become OF this bill since its
reference, we do not know. OF course,
there can be no public reason for the en-
actment of such a law-no reason why ac-
tons for libel or SANDER should have pref
erence over other actions.
The act is understood to have been drawn
up by Mr., JOHN ID. TOWNSEND, O lawyer of
this city, and it Is thought that il would
benefit his professional practice. Those,
therefore, who think the Legislature
should be run " in the interest OF Mr..
TOWNSEND, rather than in that of the peo-
pie at large, will favor the passage OF the
bill.

IDOIan.

We do not see how the Court of Appeals
could have come 10 any other conclusion
than that nt which they have arrived on
the points submitted to them In the DoLAN
case.
The remarks which we have made, at
different times, on the subject applied to
his trial. We did not think, aud do not
think now, that he had such q trial as q
man should have who is tried for his life.
But what there was exceptional in it was
not what was carried before the higher
courts.
1t is very possible he mil ht be convicted
on n proper trial but that does not make
the trial which he had proper one while
we believe no point was saved and taken
up to the Court OF Appeals on which that
court could legally have granted him n
new trial.
We suppose DoLAN will be hanged now.
His crime, if he Is guilty, was one Of the
most terrible. Just ten days from the
time of this final decision, if he obtains no
commuiation or reprieve, are left him to
live, the time having been extended by the
Governor 10 April II.
IL seems that telegram reporter, with
an inconceivablc, morbid relish for being
the bearer of i'll tidings, was the first to
rush TO DoLAS's cell and communicate 10
the unhappy man the most unwelcome
news.
one sickening execution follows another,
in sad succession, and yet murders con-
tlnue to be committed. As n preventive
measure, actual experience does not leave
n great deal TO be said in favor OF hanging.

Only handsome young widows, true and tried, who know how to keep a house in ap- ple-pie order need apply. For further particulars, call at or ad- dress, RooM No. 10, Atkins, Ark.

THE RUssEILvIIIE DEMOCRAT. THURSDAY. MARCH g. 1876

---GoNE !---Our editor, seized with a sudden inclination to visit the capital, made his adieus to the office Monday last and in the care of Con- ductor Buckner of the reliable l.. R. & F, s. Ky. was speedily carried to the city of 'body snatchers,' and ere this may have been spirited away by some of the 'prominent physicians, which ye Donald, of the Herald, caused to be arrested Saturday. We consign our absent one to the tender mercies of our good friends at Little Rock, by them to be tenderly cared for, until, his business OCT, 'she shall come march ing home.'
 To our readers we would say that if the i"DEMocRAro is better than usual,---o as we intended to say lacking any of it's originality and interest, it is attributable to the ab- sence of the "boss,' who will be on hand next week to make amends for the shortcomings of this.
 We had hoped ere this week to have seen our citizens manifest some interest on the subject to which we alluded two weeks ago, and in favor of which Rev. w. J. Dodson made such strong and touching appeal in last weeks paper. We refer to our grave yard. Are our appeals in this direction to meet with no response from the people of our town? Are the living so reck- less and dead to all thought concern ing the once loved ones who slum- Der silently beneath the sod of our village grave yard, that they cannot find time to give thought to the consideration of this subject? What have cur town taxpayers to say in regard to purchasing the grounds: And what have our town fellow mortals to say in regard to repairing, bestowing little care upon, and beautifying the grounds?

The Little Rock Gazette, which so recently was burned out, an nounces that it is back again in its old quarters, with new outfit, re- newed vigor and determination to give the people of Arkansas a live, newsy and reliable democratic paper. May success attend you and yours, Woodruff.
 The Arkansas State Grange, of Little Rock, came to us this week greatly improved. 1t is ably man. aged, both editorially and typo graphically. Friend Tobey has our best wishes for success.
 That sterling journal, the Louis- vile Courier-Journal, comes to us this week in new typographical attire which is neat, clear and chaste, and will add to the favor of that popular paper.
 We have received the first num- Der of the Lincoln County Herald, a neat six column paper, and inde- pendent in politics.

One day I was weary,
 Walking a Lonesome road, My Savior spoke unto me And filled my heart with love. CHORUS :-Let Us cheer the weary traveller, Along the Heavenly road. said unto my Savior My talent is but small, And if I am Christian, 1 am the least of all.
 CHORUS Let us cheer etc. The cross is great and heavy, And am in my youth, 1 fear l am not able
 To preach the word of truth.
 CLIO. Let us cheer, etc. Said Jesus, am with you, In every trying hour, What though you are dejected, I am the God of power.
 CHo. Let us cheer, etc. I took the gospel trumpet, Ana then began to DloW, And if my Lord will help me, 1 blow where'er may go.

 CHo. Let us cheer, etc. I publish free salvation, Whilst l am here below, And blow the gospel trumpet, As through the world go.
 CHo. Let us cheer, etc. Though sinners may refuse it, And slight the Savior's love, I'll wave the gospel banner, Stained with the Savior's blood.
 CHo. Let us cheer, etc. Then when my missions ended, And all my work is done, And God will send his angel, To call his watchman home.

That New Township.

member that the residents in the vicinity
of Maple river have petitioned the Board
of Supervisors Of Emmett county for the
organization of a new township to be cal
led Sherman in honor of ID. r. Sherman
one Of the first settlers. Considerable
feeling his been engendered upon the
subject, because some one opposed the
name suggested upon the ground that
there were already seven townships of
that name in the state. The Grand Trav-
erse and Charlevoix papers opposed it
upon the same ground, and the result is
that severaEletters have been written and
published upon the subject. The resi-
dents think that they know what they
want the township named and intimate
they want no outside interference. The
Board of Supervisors meet On the Sth
when the matter will probably be defin-
itely settled. s..ff s1-7kf .-sts s

The Dogs Name Was Doctor.

1t was evening and she had started out
for short walk.
She had barely passed into the street
when suddenly she turned and said !:
go back, Doctor"
Doctor didn't obey as readily as she
wished, so she said still more imperiously,
SEQ back, Doctor
Still Doctor did not seem at all in
cliled to go back. So she stamped her
foot and said to him, somewhat harshly,
perhaps, $50 back L tell you, Doctor;
you are always pestering me by trying to
follow me when l wish to go out for a
walk
The voice of gentleman standing
near, and who had been .unobserved in
the darkness, now broke the silence by
saying, II beg your pardon, madam you
are mistaken. 1t is not the Doctor"
The lady gave little scream and fled
back to the house, where, amid peal after
peal of laughter, she told them that
there was a gentleman in the street that
thought she was talking to him when
she was only talking to the dog.

nitrre store was broken into last Satur-
day night and quite quantity of paints
and oils, and bedstead taken away.
Entrance was effected by removing rear
window, but it apparently being too
much trouble to go out that way with
his booty, the thief took the lock off and
passed out the door. He evidently knew
what he was about. SO far as we can
learn nothing has been learned which
would lead to the Identification of the

Michigan Ship Canal.

Tue lonia Standard refers TO the
scheme of opening ship canal by way of
the Kalamazoo river to Battle Creek.
thence up the valley of the creek to the
base line, and eastward to the Detroit riv-
er. 1t says that a more desirable route
would be tn commence 1T Grand Haven
and follow the course of Grand river to
Lansing, thence up the valley Of Cedar
river, then due east to the innumerable
lakes of Oakland county, or southeast to
the chain of lakes and the Huron river
n"ar Dexter This route would have
many advantages over the Kalamazoo and
Battle Creek route. Grand Haven has a
much better harbor than Sagatuck:
Grand river has been made navigable as
far as Lyons, and steamers of large size
now come to Grand Rapids; more than
half the canal would be by the course of
the largest rivers in the state, and it
would leave Grand river at lansing,
about thirty miles east of Battle Creek,
where it is proposed to leave the Kala-
mazOo, the Cedar being sluggish stream.
flowing through level country, would
require no locks, I'd SO wonld furnish
water enough; and as the canal follows
the courses of streams instead of crossing
them, the expense of cuts and dykes on
this route would be much less than on
the other. There is likely to be plenty
of agitation and discussion befo the
money is found to build either of these
ship canals, although the saving of prop
erty might be very large.

Patterson,s Skating Park.

Messrs. Foster & Farr have not made
much money out of their skating rink the
past week, The reason is very evident.
A skating park has been established up
on Mr. Patterson's lot where all can skate
without money and without price. This
park has been extensively patronizcd by
all classes and conditions. In tact it has
been the most popular resort i'm the vii
lage. 1t is not often that there is as good
skating here as at present. There is usu-
ally too much snow.
