a MOOT COURT.

Formal Organization OF An Association.
Some eighteen or twenty young aspiranta
to forensic fame held a meeting in Judge
Simons' court last evening, and organized
Moot Court Association, with Mr.. s. Ward
president 7. F. O'Brien, secretary P. Haas,
treasurer; s. Rice, vice-president.
The association will hold its regular court
every second Wednesday evening, and extra
meetings will also be held when lectures will
be given by eminent lawyers, Gov. Davis
having kindly promised to deliver the first.
After the election of officers last evening,
court was held, at which H. @. Eller, ESQ.,,
kindly acted as judge. The case tried was
one involving the right to wild animals
found at large on estates. The case was
argued with considerable skill on both sides,
the arguments showing not little research
and study. II. A. Hall and 81. P. Goodenow
appeared for plaintiff, and Edward Rotert
and p. Alexander for defendant. So well
were the two sides handled that the judge
took the case nnder advisement.

rhorouxh and Searching Examination Of
Candidates.

Thorouxh and Searching Examination OF
Candidates.
Tho examination for admission to the bar,
held before the judges Of the supreme court
Chief Justice Gil6llan, and associate justices
Cornell and Berry-yesterday, was conducted
by H. F. Masterson, G. e. Otis and w. Bar
rett, Esq'rs. Messrs. Walter T. Burr, @. M.
Greene and Edward Rotert were the only ap-
plicants. G. M. Greene submitted q GER
tiacate issued by the supreme court of Iowa,
admitting him to the bar of that State, in
view of which few questions were asked him.
The other two candidates, however, were put
through most rigid and close examination.
Mr.. Masterson taking the lead, questioned
the gentlemen on their reading and study,
asking what works they had read upon COM
mon law, on equity, on pleadings, &c. He
then examined then upon common law,
rules Of action, duties of lawyer to his eli
ent, to the court, and to the
and criminal; motives of punishment; lead
ing questions; treatment of witnesses; tes-
timony by commission; equity; injunc-
tons; bonds; accidents; fraud; contracts.
After finding what they knew of Kent, Black
stone, Parsons, g., he handed the m over to
the tender mercies of Mr.. Barrett, who put
them through most rigidly on property, es-
tates, courtesy, dover, mortgage, purchase,
tenancy, Inheritance, joint tenancy, copar-
ceny, estate in common, estate at will,
escheat, occupancy, prescription. acquisition
of title, deeds, indentures, contracts, partner
ships, agency, insurance. Then came Mr..
Otis, with negotiable paper, bills of exchange;
proInissory notes, cause at issue, &c.
The questions were answered generally
very promptly, and with one or two excep-
lions, very correctly. There was some little
confusion of ideas on joint tenancy and es.
tate in common, but the questioning had
been long and severe, and there was excuse
for it. The examiners reported favorably to
the court, and recommended the applicants
for admission.
Chief Justice Gilfillan said he had listened
carefully to the examination, and he
was glad that examiners were becoming
more searching and exacting. The candi-
dates, he said, had answered well, and de-
served to be complimente1. He, therefore,
ordered their certificates to be made out.
Edward Rotert, one of the applicants, and
whose answers upon some of the topics were
particularly clear, was formerly principal OF
the Sixth ward school. If ever men were
admitted to the bar on their own merits,
these were.

THE OLD MISSISSIFPI.

A Jolly Rise CominG-Arrivals of the Rob
Roy and Imperial.
There was rise of four inches yesterday,
the greatest in any one day since the present
swell commenced.
The frequent arrivals of boats from below,
al bringing large freights, makes very lively
times about the levee, and although large
numbers of drays and trucks are kept con-
stantly engaged in hauling away, it is found
impossible to keep up with the accommoda-
tons.
The Keokuk Northern line packet Rob
Roy, arrived last evening at $50 o'clock.
This is the first trip up of the season of this
steamboat, which is differed as follows
VIM. Thompson, captain; Carroll and Link
pilots; N. B. Hatcher and George Siebert
clerks; and James Parker, steward, all favor
ably known to the travelling public as efficient
and courteous. The Rob Roy brought an
enormous freight for this point, having
dropped immense quantities by the way,
and most of that landed here, consisting OF
sugar, molasses, drugs, and other supplies
is intended for Bismarck, D. T., the Black
Hills and Montana. Capt. Thompson reports
splendid stage of water, which is rising al
all points, and that high winds prevailed
during the up trip. He also AYERS t!lat he
never witnessed finer prospects for river
traffic than this season already presents
The Rob Roy will leave at 10 A. M. to-day
on the down passage.
The Diamond Joe liner Imperial arrived,
with barge, yesterday at P. NJ, and left this
morning at 4 o'clock. The Imperial brought
over 100 tons of miscellaneous freight fol-
st. Paul, having strung five barges along the
river, one of which was left at Newport,
Washington county.

THE ADO COMMITTEE.
New York, Aug. 6. This being the last
day of the congressional labor investigation
committee the attendance is unusually large,
Geo. E. Mcneil, president of the inter-
national working mems union, residing in
West Summerville, Mass, said the whole
difficulty in his opinion is the wages system
for labor, or in other words, wages system
and the steam engine are cOntemporaneous.
and the production has exceeded the power
of consumption. He favored the eight hour
law throughout the country.
Peck, of Danbury, Conn, followed. He
thought that instead of lending hundreds of
millions oil dollars to banks the government
should lend some few hundred millions, free
of interest. to the workipgmen. He read a
long petition to congress asking the govern
ment to lend any man 5000 to build q
house with, the amount to be paid back in
installments.
Mr.. Sellcck was for abolishing the United
States senate, restricting the power Of con
gress and the president, for the issue OF $5S
per capita. for curtailing labor to six hours
and allowing no one outside the labor bu-
reau to employ laborers. Mr. Kemp believed
the cause Of the depression was the war, the
over issue of currency, the extravaganza
caused by q short period of initiation and a
high protective tariff, all of which ought 10
be remedied. He will read the following,
which the committee submit to the public
congressional committee and earnestly re-
quest the cooperation Of the public in all
sections of the country in obtaining infor-
nation ia aid in the practical solution of
the important questions submitted o. it.
1t especially invites suggestions from rep
resentative men in all departments of bust
ness. 1t proposes the following questions to
the employers of labor throughout the coun-
try:
1st-What were the selling prices Of your
products in 1860 and in each subsequent
year down to 1873. inclusive?
2d-What we're the wages paid by you in
each Of these years for labor employed?
3d.. Where persons furnishing informa.
ton are willing to do so, the committee in.
vite you to state the percentage of profit
made by them in each these years or the
capital employed in their business.
4th. What were the wholesale and retail
prices of the leading articles of family con-
sumption during each of these years in your
vicinity!
tween the rents of tenrements occupied by
operatives in the years 1886 and 1873 In your
vicinity?
9th. What was the comparative amount
oftne products of your business in quality
and value in the years 1860 and 1878.
7th-State the comparative steadiness of
the employment of operatives between the
years 1860 and 1873.
The committee invites suggestions from
employers and employed as to the extent
and causes of the present depression in
business and as to any special federal legis-
lation which in their opinion would tend to
relieve the same.
The committee will hold its next session
in the New York postofice, August goth.
