Death OF an EsHmabIe Lady.

The many friends of Mrs. Mary E.
Williamson will be deeply panied to
learn Of her death, which occurred early
this morning at her residence on Madi-
son street. Mrs. Williamson was a ma
tive Of this county and widow Of the late
s. B. Williamson aud sister-in-law of
Nolan Fontaiue, OF Hill, Fontaine & Co.
She was an excellent and refined Chris
tan lady, whose sudden and unexpected
death will cast a feeling of gloom over a
large circle Of devoted friends. She had
been in feeble health for some time, but
very few apprehended that her end was
so near. Only a day or two ago her
physicians expressed confident hopes of
her recovery. She, however, expressed
no hopes except beyond the grave, and
breathed her last as quietly and peace
fully as if dropping off to sleep. She
will be missed in the social circle, BY the
church, by the poor, to whom she was
always a friend, and especially by her
SOD, whose education and moral develop
ment she SO anxiously and tenderly
watched. The funeral notice will appear
ia due time and her remains will be fol.
lowed to Elmwood by many sincere and
fearful friends.

shyster tells him the judge is q d-n
fool, and that any other judge would have
turned him lose, but he will get out an.
other writ Of habeas corpus in a few
days aud it will all be right. The poor
devil goes back to jail and remains there.
The lawyer got all he was after, the
two and q half dollars, and he lives
luxuriously for another week.
WHERE TIE swINDLE HURTS.
Heretofore at almost every term Of the
Criminal Court from one to two hundred
Of these bogus habeas corpus cases we're
brought up and disposed of at a cost Of
from six to ten dollars each, which the
taxpayers had to pay. This amounted
to several thousand dollars per annum,
and was taken from the taxpayers
in order that the shyster lawyers could
play their little games and capture a
small fee occasionally. Since Judge
Logwood got on the Criminal Court
bench the judges Of the different courts
have agreed upon certain rules with
reference to granting habeaS corpus writs,
and the consequence is that 10 during
a term Of court but from ten to twenty
such writs are granted instead OF from one
to two hundred. This saves the tax. payers
many thousands Of dollars each year
Now, when a petition praying for q writ o.
habess corpus is presented to a judge he
reads it carefully, and if no legal or just
grounds are alleged therein for the writ
the prayer is refused. The writ of ha
beas corpus cannot be legally obtained
merely by asking for it. The petition
must show some legal right. 1t will not
do, now, to allege that a prisoner is IN.
lawfully detained in custody by tbs
sheriff, who holds him by virtue of q
mittimus issued by the recorder or 9
magistrate, etc. That petition shows
upon its face that the sheriff does hold
the prisoner legally, and restraints hin
OF his liberty by virtue of a legal pro
cess. 1t is some satisfaction to know
that the occupation of the shyster i
almost gone, and no longer can he tam
per with the law in order to secure TO
himself a two dollar and q halt fee, pait
in money, stolen chickens or some piec,
of personal property Of little value ant
of questionable ownership. Let til,
shysters be disbarred, and let the nobl,
aud learned profession Of law be save,
the disgrace Of having within its fold
band of shystering lawyers.

The papers are announcing that
Walker, of the defunct Memphis Reds,
had been expelled from the St. Paul Red
Caps, for violating his contract by join.
ing another club who increased his
wages. What does a professional leath-
er.pounder care about his word or con-
tract when an extra dollar is in sight ?
Aud what difference does it matter if he
leaves the club or all clubs, and %retires
to private life, in order to work for a
living at the pillow instead of fooling with
the bat2 The world would be much bet
ter off if all the batters went to work.
A picked nine OF professionals could
