The Vacancy ola The United states
Supreme Bench.

Beside attempting to protect the
Supreme Court from further assaults
ON the ground that its3members are
partisans, the President should try
to rectify the present unfairE geo
graphical distribution Of the Judges.
Since 1860 the appointmentsahave
all been made from the Northern
States. The West has had a very
disprOpOrtionate share. Ohio has
two members of the court, and until
Judge Davis resigned Illinois and
Iowa had two more, and In the East
a Judge i'm New Jersey Is wedged I'm
between one i'm New York and one
in Pennsylvania, while the sixteen
Southern States have none. The
existing vacancy and the next two
ought to be filled by the appoint
ment of Southern jurists If men can
be found of sufficient character and
professional eminence. The South
ern States would then have one
third of the Judges, and the other
twenty-five States the remaining
twO-thirds, which would be a fair
distribution considering the greater
amount of judicial business i'm the
North. Justice Bradley does circuit
duty in the Gulf States, but 1t Is n
great deal better that circuit duty
be done by Judges residing In the
same part of the country. The rea-
son is not merely that they are more
accessible and can attend the circuit
with less Inconvenience, but that
they are constantly called to admin
lister State laws. A citizen Of Loui-
siana, suing a citizen Of Alabama ON
a contract made i'm the former State,
asks United States court To ad-
minister the laws of Louisiana, and
Judges are likely to be better ac-
quainted with the laws of neighbor-
ing than of distant States.--NelO
York Herald.

Dead-Heading. e.

There is no other business on
which the public levies such heavy
contribution as on the newspaper
publishing business. An Organiza-
ton is getting up some kind of fes-
tivities, for example. 1t pays for
the use of grounds, pays for music,
pays for refreshments, gets 81 worth
of tickets and $4 worth of bills print
ed either at a newspaper Office or
somewhere else, and then expects
free advertising from the paper to
an extent actually worth from 81 or
So to $40. The mere announcement
of a picnic, sOciable or festival is an
advertisement, and ought to be paid
for. The result is that a generous
proportion of the profits Of nearly all
entertainments of this kind is money
which rightfully belongs to news
paper publishers. Then, after the
thing is over, the managers will
come in with a long string of resOlu-
tions, with which to rob the pub
fishers of more valuable space. The
truth is, that space in a newspaper
represents money. 1t is worth
money to the publisher. There is
no more reason why he should give
it taway than why merchant should
give away his goods. Part of the
space of the paper is sold to business
men for advertising purposes the
rest of the space is devoted to inter
esting reading matter. On the last
the publisher depends for the at
fractions which shall sell his paper.
Either space represents cash to him.
Yet a business man who buys space
to the amount of 81 often gets a
gratuity of space to the amount of
81 or 81, or even more. The mana
gers of festivals, picnics or other
home entertainments may not buy
one cents worth of space, but all the
same expect the free gift of several
dollars worth of space. The politi-
clan, although he forgets to keep his
subscription paid up, demands col
umn after column of valuable space
free, and rarely so much as says
thank you for it. For all this the
newspaper man, taxed beyond any
other business man, enjoys the high
distinction of being regarded as a
dead-head by two-thirds of his neigh
bors.-ROnle Sentinel.

LIABILITY OF INDORSERS.
Recent Decision of the United States
Supreme Court.

In a recent decision, the United
States Supreme Court lays down
several principles of law in reference
to the liability of indorsers on prom
issOry notes, which are rather strange
in some respects, and well worth the
attention of business men who are
compelled, such times as these, to
transact considerable share of their
business by means of this kind of
paper, The court holds that an in
dorser is a competent witness to
prove an agreementin writing made
with the holders of the note at the
time of the Endorsement, that he
shall not be held liable thereon,
where the paper is still held by the
party to whom the Endorsement was
made and has not been put into
circulation. 1t also holds that an
agreement like this and the indOrse-
ment taken together are equivalent,
so far as the holder of the note is
concerned, to San Endorsement
without recourse to the indorser."
1t further holds that the omission of
indorsers on a series of notes, under
such agreement, to set up the agree
ment as defense in suit brought on
two such notes, does not preclude
their setting it up in another action
brought on other notes of the same
series, the Judgment in the first
action not operating as an estOppel
in the second.

Timely Advice From n Tennes-
seean i'm Texas.
Correspondence Nashville American.

Correspondence Nashville American.
WACO, Texas, Sept. 10, 1877.-In
reading your valuable paper, learn
that great many of your people
are going to immigrate to Texas
this Fall, many of whom, to use the
language of Cosmopolitan" one of
your correspondents, are exceed
ingly poor. Now, as citizen of
Texas, and a native of Tennessee, /
would say to all such, that they will
not better their condition by coming
to Texas at this stage of its progress.
Texas is a great country, its lands
are fertile and productive, its climate
is mild and congenial, and its re-
sources are great, but a poor man
cannot avail himself of the advant-
ages any more than he could in
Tennessee, from the fact that that
class are in the majority here. To
all such, whether professional or
not, l say stay where you are,
among friends and neighbors, and
labor to develop the many resources
that lie hidden in the ineXhaustible
treasures of your State.
A man with capital can come to
Texas and double his wealth in
short time by making proper invest
ments. He can loan his money, or
invest it in real estate and derive
greater benefit from his investment
in Texas than anywhere else at the
present time. But, without capital,
a man can do but little here. We
have enough common day laborers,
clerks, and secOnd-class professional
men, but if you have capital to in
vest in our rich prairie lands, in
or anything that will
tend to heighten the development |
of our country, come along. We |
will extend to you the right hand of |
fellowship and bid you God speed |
in your undertaking.
Tennessee can never stay the tide |
of emigration from her bounds until /
she teaches her people to take a
great interest in the welfare of their |
own State. Texas has not "doubled
its population" by the efforts of one,
two, three or dozen salaried Off
GERS, but by the combined efforts of
all its citizens everyone feeling an
in his country's welfare, has
done all in his power to add to its
wealth and population so, likewise,
could Tennessee do, if her citizens
felt that interest that they should
feel in the prosperity of their
country. CLIO.

The Earth Cure.

FROM the DETROIT FTeSS.
Levi PartOns, who has been q
helpless invalid for the past four or
five years, his lower eXtremities
from the small of his back down be-
ing totally paralyzed, has for some
time had enough faith in the home
ly but excellent Indian remedy of
burial in the earth to try it for his
disease. On Sunday last he was
taken to ROswellHart's land, where
is lfield of blue clay, and hole
three feet deep dug, in which he was
laid, covered nearly to the armpits
in the earth, and allowed to remain
about three hours. From this one
trial a very decided improvement is
perceptible. His feet and ankles
were covered with thick incrusta-
ton of dead skin. This has peeled
off, and leaves the feetlooking more
life like. Blood in the veins APP
pears thinner and flows much quick
er, and he has turned himself alone
on his couch twice since, a thing he
has not done before since his copfpez
ment. The result appears TO be so
beneficial that he will follow it up,

A Lost Son Among Indians

Mr.. G. Fisher, of Fredericksburg,
Texas, arrived here ON Wednesday
in search of his son, stolen by Indi-
dians thirteen years ago, when only
II years old. The boy was found
among the Camanche band, and rec
ognized by his father instantly. His
embraces were received by the son
with stole Indifference and imbecile
smiles, and nothing would induce
him to recognize his father or con-
sent to go home with him, until
Gen. Mackenzie interfered and au-
thoritatively told him he had to go.
Profuse promises of horses, guns,
ETC., dear to the Indians here, made
no impression on him. He seems
to feel the parting from the Indians
very keen1y, A dusky maiden,
whom the chief promised to give
him for his wife, if he would re-
main, seems to be at the bottom of
it. The old mother is said to be al
most frantic with JOY at the recovery
of a son whom she believed dead.
