THEY TOOK IIIA IN.

A Joplin, Mo-, man, while on his
way home from Jefferson City, fell
into tie hands OF the wicked and cov.
etous. He was on the way train and
near HIM sat an innocent young man
in whose eyes there shonc only love
Of the human race. In his hands he
held thrce books--very cheap looking
books. The innocent young man
put his hand in luis pocket and took
out Il ten dollar bill and laid i. be-
tween the leaves of one of his books
anu closed it up. He then turned to
the Joplin man, and with smile that
was very childlike, told him he could
have choice Of three books for six dol
lars. Our friend from the land Of
lead and blackjack saw the edge Of
the ten dollar bill sticking out of the
book, thought TO himself: THAT
fellow amt so sharp after all; I'll
just take that Y in.'' He paid his
six dollars, took the book, and oh,
no, he wasn't mad when he found
that, instead of a ten dollar bill stick
ing from the end Of the book, the
meak looking fraud had cut about the
eighth of an inch off the end of bill,
and pasted it to the edge of q leaf.

Too MANY LAWYERS.

A prominent m5mber of the Bar informs us
we were mistaken when few days ago we
stated the number Of lawyers at the Cleveland
Bar as three hundred and twenty-four. He
says they number three hundred and seventy.
or one lawyer for every eighty seven male
adults in the city. The numerical increase of
the lawyers of Cuyahoga county within ten
years has been SO great, and the average
quality SO poor, that the Bar of Cleveland
seems to have decreased in learning and abi!i-
ty in about the same ratio as it has increased
in numbers. Now within the last ten years
the Bar has failed to receive valuable addi-
tions to its ranks. Far from it. Some of the
best educated and most promising members
are among the younger representatives of the
profession. But too large number of the
so-called lawyers practicing in our local
courts are notoriously uneducated and litter
ate, having only a smattering of law, and that
OF character which enables, them to be sim
ply stlrrers up of strife and panderers TO the
worst passions of their fellow men. Such
persons by the laws of Ohio have the right
to call themselves lawyers, and get their
bread by preying upon the community in
which they live. The proper name for this
class of legal riffraf is shyster. The noble
old name of lawyer insignificant for centuries
OF lofty character, sound learning, liberal oul-
ture, varied accomplishments and social stand
ing, should not be given to men who have
neither wit nor wisdom, learning nor talents,
character nor respecta5ility. The shyster is
usually cunning, nrtfnl, unprincipled and

Slippery Sans Denial.
The Great RefOrmer Pleads ''NOt
Guilty"

New YORK, Oct. III have read the
publications in the Tribune of the 8th
inst, purporting to be a translation of
the cypher kilograms, relating to the
to the canvass of votes in Florida at
the Presidential election of 1876, and
have looked over those printed in the
Tribune this morning relating to the
canvass in South Carolina. l have no
knowledge of the existence of these
kilograms, nor any information about
them, except what has been derived
from or since the publication of the
Iri0URe. So much for these kilograms
generally. l shall speak yet more
specifically as to some of them.
First, Those which relate to an offer
purporting to have been made in behalf
of some members of the State Board of
Canvassers in Florida, to give, for pc
cuniary compensation, certificates to
the Democratic electors who had been
actually chosen. None of these tele-
grams, nor any telegram containing
such an offer, or answering such an of
fer, relating to such an offer, was sent
by me, translated to me, or the contents
of it in any manner made known to me.
l had no knowledge of the existence or
purport of any telegram relating to
that subject, Eor did l learn the fact
that such an offer of the Florida certifi-
Gates had been made until long after
the 9th of December, at which time the
certificates were delivered and the cleo
toral votes cast, and when the informa-
tion casually reached me as a past
event, it was accompanied by the state
ment that the offer had been rejected
Secondly, as to the publications in
the Tribune of this morning, purport-
ing to be the translation of cipher tele-
grams relating to the canvass of votes
in South Carolina in 1876, which 1
have seen since wrote the foregoing,
l can speak of them no less definitely !
and positively. No such cipher or
translated dispatch was ever shown to
or its contents made known to me. No
offer or negotiation in behalf of the |
State Canvassers of South Carolina, or
of any of them, or any dealing with
any of them, in respect to the certifi
Gates to the electors, was ever authoriz
ed or sanctioned IN any manner by me
directly, or through any other person.
| will add that no offer to give the
of any Returning Board or
vote of State canvasseis of any State
20 the Democratic electors in consider
alton of promises of office, or money,
'r property, no negotiation with any
such member to influence the action of
my clectur of President and Vice Pres
lent by such motives, was ever enter
aimed, considered or tolerated by me
u anybody within my influence, by my
