We notice The following personal item
going the rounds Of the newspaper press
Judge Chester Il. Krum, one of the
Bsbcock counsel, was the mayor of Al
ton during the Lovejoy riots. He was
famous at the time for having begun a
speech TO the bowling fanatics before
him with the address: Gentlemen of the
mob."
Judge Krum was Judge of the United
States Court at ST. Louis, Mo. He is a
near relative of Messrs. Abel and Henry
Krun, of this county.
Judge John F. Dillon, who presided at
the trial of General o. E. BabcOek, was a
Judge of the District Court in Scott and
Clinton counties, some sixteen years ago,
when the writer used 10 see him while
holding court No one seemed to be
more appropria tely in his posit ion. He
is man of striking personal appearance
massive head. keen black eyes, and al
that time, had black hair. BE lost his
father while young-a victim of intem-
perance-which made him firmly resolve
10 be a temperance man in the future
he has worked his way step by step to
his present high and popular position.
Were the writer not in favor of an Ohio
man for President, no more worthy
name could be presented than that Of
Hon. John F. Dillon. of Iowa.
A story is in circul ation at st. Louis,
that Judge Dillon is toreceive Judge
Glifford's place as member Of the Su-
preme Court at Washington, asthe latter
has reached the age when he can be re-
tired.
The following is a description Of the
closing scene in the Babcock trial amid
the noise, Judge Dillon sand:
"Gentlemen of the jury, you are dis
charged. The Marshal wi Il settle your
fees, 50 that you can leave for your
homes at once"
This reminded Judge Krum of a point
that had been oVerlooke d in the excite
ment of the moment, and he said
II ask your Honor to discharge the de-
fendant."
The Court-Are there any more indict-
menis against bims
Judge Krum-None
The Court-The defendant is discharg-
ed.
The statement has been frequently
made that there are in Congress at the
present time from sixty to seven tY mem

as, Stephens, Harris and Chan der Of
Georgia, Slemons and Gunter OF Arkan'
sas, Lamar Of Mississippi, Hatcher OF
Missouri, Dibbrell of Tennessee, Goode,
Hunter and Harris of Virginia, members

When we remember how the tory OF
revolution was despised aud torgouen,
and that not one Of them ever reached 3
position OF honor or confidence, e seems
strange to look over the events OF the
past ten or eleven years and notice the
position that we now occupy.
People have generally commenced su-
gar making.
