TIE feeling of Indignation against Judge Nc

rather increased. On the streets, on Change,
in the cuunting-room, and everywhere else, was
the tonic discussed. Politics seems to have lost

iusticc taken its place. The fact that the Judge
hts openly dcfcd public opinion has increased
the Indignation. His rulings are held to have
been shameful to degree, aud rs

CHICAGO, Oct. 2S.-McA1lster, one Of the
Judges Of the Circuit Court, playing the role Of
protecting advocate for the assassin Of the late
Mr.. Hanford. Among all the paid Judicial
slaves to the swell mob from Barnard aud Car
dozo down to ChiefJustice Banyon, late of the
Police Court in this city, none have so well
earned lasting and perpetual infamy as the one
Of the Judges Of the Circuit Court whose name
heads this article. Sullivan, the murderer of
Hanford, has, FROM tho time of the commission
OF the llorrid crime for which he has been tried,
conducted himself, both III and out Of court, as
done, and for which he has been applaudeu by
all that class Of men who are now loud for Til
den and Reform. The Sheriff Of this county has
treated him at all times rs a fayoritc guest, iu-
stead OF applying to him tue prison rules which
would have been meted out to any poor and de-
fenselcss criminal charged wifi the terrible
crime for which he should suffer tue Severcst
penalties OF the law. While the defendant
claims to be a Republican, it is strange
To- TO- find .i,,, that all his apologists tor
stanch: Democrats; and the sherif whose daty aty
custody, is also Democrat. The Judge who
tried him is a Democrat, and all the
noisy, filthy crowd Of loafcrs that

from Judge McAlster's reply to q request from
: Mr.. Reed to be protected, Ill that he was pow
er1ess to protect him, although the power Of
the State stood behind linn to enforce the rea-
sonable request. The above is but small dose
that VIC arc bound to endure when the Confed-
crate Democracy shall hare power in and over

observe, In answer to correspondent, q full

Among them were two Scotchmen. Being
Scotchman myself, I naturally feel indignant at
the gross outrage on justice manifested by the
standing of the jury. The only c1tcnuation
that can be offered IN their behalf is the ruling
Of the presiding Judge, ruling which brings
disgrace to the Bar and profession. Let us in
charity suppose they were not bought By the

CHANGES WANTED IN OUR LEGAL SYSTEM.
TO the Editor Qk The Tribune.

To the Editor Qk The Tribune.
CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-As SuIlivan's trial has
ended, permit me to offer some alterations in
our legal system, which certainly cannot per-
sonally affect him. The first thing most objec-
tionable is the waste OF public time. Why
should Cook County subject to great loss Of
time so many OF her peoplea Why not sum-
mon forty-eight freeholders, and in chambers
have the attorneys for the plaintiff and de-
fendant respective to strike of twelve each, and
from the remaining twenty-four, unless some
vital objection to be sustained by the Judge, hare
twelve selected! Is it fair, or eyen honest, to
summon 100 jurors for two consecutive days,
to be cross-examined and then rejected. Is the
jurors time worth nothing? Il he is paid, so
much the worse, as ithnly adds taxes, without
particle of benefit to either,
Next, in life and death case keep the jury
together. Wiudy orations and lengthy speeches
will be out Of place. In England a trial By
Judge on circuit could not last over ten hours,
and no one complains Of too short time. even if
Now let some official better posted than AM,
add up the expenses to this county OF this one
trial,-Judgc, District-Attorney and assistant,
witnesses to be subpDnaed, Ba1iff to keep order
in court. sub-Sheriff to summon jurors, Clerk
OF the Court, all this Tor seven or eight days.
when, By my showing, a fair and Impartial trial
can be had in one day.
# the fault be in the law alter It. But, In my
opinion, no Judges whim should be allowed to
waste public time. The present system is
manifestly unjust to witnesses, taxpayers, and
jurors, and ought to be speedily altered.

Of wheat, but for al other produce there

Cheaper Production is Higher

If bushel Of wheat or Il pair of
shoes can be produced by one days
labor, and sold for q: dollar, the dollar il
the value of the days labor. If we can
by improved methods Of working, or
greater skill or activity, produce two
bushels Of wheat, or two pairs of shoes,
by days labor, and still sell them for
a dollar each, the value Of the labor is
two dollars. We have then doubled
the value OF our labor, without increas-
ing the cost Of it; consequently if the
cost Ct living remains the same, our
profit is doubled. The shoemaker and
many other mechanics, have succeeded

As this, although by the use of drills,
harvesters, and threshing machines, it
costs him less in labor to produce a
bushel Of wheat than formerly. But
the most laborious part Of his work is
not cheapened, nor is there any proba-
bility that it soon will be. But the
work may be made to cost less, prac-
tlcaliy, if we can make it more effective.
If We plow an acre of barren soil, we
lose: our. labor altogether, and the cost
is exactly equal to the value Of the
labor: expended, because there is no re-
turn. If we pillow an acre of ground
which produces crop worth exactly the
cost Of the labor, the labor is paid for,
but there Is no profit: If the ground is
rich enough to produce u crop double
the value Of the labor expended, the prof.
it is equal to 100 per cent. upon the ex-
penditurs. The way to better profits
very clearly lies in the direction of en-
riching the soil. This IL the whole
secret. What we then produce will
cost but half what It formerly did, and
We therefore get a double price for our:
crop, which merely represents so much
labor. There il no fear that this meth
