Judge Otis concluded, on Saturday last, the
longest term of the District Court ever held in
this County-probably the longest ever held in
the State. 1t ran through ten weeks, aud du.
ring that time the docket was cleared Of nearly
every case, including many that had been drag.

work-he would tolerate no delays or postpone.
ments, being determined to get the business of
the Court in such shape that hereafter all the
cases on the docket could he disposed Of within
the limits of o regular term.
The Judge has also been giving the members
of the bar such disciplining as they have long
needed. He insists upon pronptness above all
things, and takes no excuse Of "not ready" when
o case is called. He maintains order, and tOler-
ates no violation Of the rules of the Court or Of
those proprieties which should characterize the
administration of justice. His constant effort is
to dispatch business promptly and orderly, and
thus save the County and litigauts all unneces-
sary expense.
Judge Otis has done another thing for which
he is entitled to special thanks. He has dealt
firmly and decisively with q class of swindlers,
growing very numerous in Kansas, who Par-
chase goods, make contracts, and then skip ont,
leaving their creditors to whistle for their pay.
These fellows have found little officially, - .
rule, in invoking the law to assist them in get
ting away from . State, Judge Otis firmly 70
fused to allow such proceedings evidently be-
lieving that law was made for the punishmeut
of swndlers. and not TO assist them in svading
punishment for wrong doing.
The docket Of the Court has, during the loag
term just concluded, been cleared Of very
large number of intricate cases, involving the
most delicate problems Of jurisprudence. and 70
their consideration the Judge has given the
mest careful and studiou. attention. Attorneys,

SHERMAN's SPEECH.-We would advise the
few Republican supporters of Hayes Southern
policy to get and read the speech of Secretary
sherman, at Mansfield, Ohio, a few days ago.
His friends claim that he spoke by authority Of
the President, and claim the speech as an en-
dorsement of Hayes In speaking of Louisiana,
be said that If he had been President, be should
have acknowledged Packard as Governor, and
sustained him. How is that for endorsement Of
Hsyesi Sherman was at New Orleans at the
time the votes were canvsssed, and investigated
all the circumstances of the election. He be-
lieves Packard was legally elected, and would
have sustained him. If he had said that Hayes
failed to do his duty, and betrayed the Republi-
cans of Louisiana, it might have been palmer
language, but it would have been just as good
an endorsement.

u If Tilden had been declared elected Presi-
dent, he would have decided that the Democrat
ic Governors were legally elected in South Caro-
lima and Louisiana, and would have used the
power efthe Government to sustain them. Then
all the Republicans, and loudsst among them,
those who now support the Hayes policy, would
have raised . howl, and would have pointed to
his action as an evidence that the Democratic
party was . rebel party. But Hayes was count
ed In, and has done exactly as Tilden would have
done, with the exception that instead of doing it
openly aud boldly, he did it by snesking strate-
gy. Republicans are asked to endorse this as
true craftsmanship and glorious paci6cation.

A few days ago, the editor Of the BslIetis said
to one Of the County Commissioner. after rs-
mnding him that be had refused to divide with
him: 81 don't care how well you do am going
to eppdse you any how" In pursuance Of this
notification, we happosc, he wrute the article
published two weeks ago, relative to County cx-
penses, ia which lac asserted that the people
have ~ pay txxss to ths -anaoant af tlzs 900 an
nuslly. The impression sought to be conveyed
by this was, that the expenses of the County
government amounted to this, and that this
amount was Imposed upon the people BY the
County Commissioners. He undertook to con-
vey this idea in the face Of the figures which he
published in the same article, giving the esti-
mate Of County expenses for the next year ut
S20,5O0. This is the amount that the COmu,is-
sioners have levied q tax to raise The tax so
levied is IT mills on the dollar. A man who is
worth 81 600, pays 81 so to carry on the affairs Of
the County. This is oppression, isn't it Tho
balance of the tax that the Bulletis talks about,
is State, Township, school, and municipal tax,
and the Commissioners have no more control
it than the editor Of the Bslletis or any 9TH
er citizen has. When he dsnounces the heavy
tax, he denounces the people themselves for all
Of it over II mills on the dollar. Last year, the
people Of the County had to pay about SO on
the thousand for which they are assessed, for
County expenses alone. The Commissioners, by
their good management and business qualifics-
tions, have taken off Sl2.50 on the 81, 900, in one
year, leaving the tax but $3.50 on the 81 900.
These are the men whom the Balletis proposes
to tight, no matter how well they do, because
they will not pay him to tell the truth. This is
why he presumes the people are fools, and will
believe his statements that the Commissioners
are responsible for all the tax they have to pay.

State Central Committee holding federal Offices,

question having risen whether he did not come
