"TRAvELER" in Judge Dougherty's Jones'
boro Advertiser, objects toJudgc Walls pro-
motion to the Appellate Bench in Bakers
place, because the constitution provides
"that judge has to be for one year next pre-
ceeding his election resident of the partic-
ular circuit. Judge Wall has never resided
in the First Judicial Circuit; therefore he is
not eligible" This kind of talk amazes u.s..
What has the appointment by the Supreme
Court of Judge Wall to be the successor of
Judge Baker on the Appellate Bench got to
do with the constitutional provision referred
to by "rravelerl' Judge Wall might have
been appointed to the Appellate Bench
when Judge Baker was. Why, then, may
he not be appointed to fill the vacancy that
will be created by Judge Bakers promotion
to the Supreme Benefit Traveller" does not
know what he is writing about.

The Paducah Sun says that lit would
appear that the average Paducah Democrat
is never SO happy as when he is attending
a convention" In this respect there is a
marked difference between Paducah and
Cairo Democrat, who goes to a convention
only on compulsion. Almost every Demo-
crat in Cairo is too busy with his own affairs
to give any time to his party. But the
Cairo Democrats are very earnest fellows
nevertheless. They don't like the Republi-
can party and ALWAYS vote-on fair election

CART. THOMAS will not, as a matter OF
course, challenge Judge Allen to meet him
on the stump. Capt. Thomas, in his Muir
physboro speech, said he would, but he has
certainly reconsidered this assertion. He
will take our advice and let Judge Allen be.
OF course Capt. Thomas, the gallant gentle
man who met the rebels on the field of battle
and slew them by thousands, is afraid to
meet Judge Allen on the stump; or, if not
afraid, he knows discretion to be the better
part of valor.

"WOMAN'S FALL"

BEING THE APPROPRIATE TITLE OF MRS.
TILToN'sNEw LECTURE.
BROOKLYN, July 25.-Lately a story has
been whispered about among the Plymouth
church members, and elsewhere in Brook
lyn society, that Mrs, TiIton was to 20 on
the lecture platform. The story is that
this had been suggested or at least sanction
ed by Theodore before his departure for
Europe, and that he had even written a
lecture entitled "Woman's Fall" for her to
deliver. 1t was added that he contemplate
ed following Mr. Beecheron his u speak
ing in places he did the night after his de-
parture. Mrs. Titons friends, it is said,
were urging her to lecture as the easiest
method of supporting herself and children
and the only way OF righting herself before
the public. She is offered 800 per night
and travelling expenses.

five for twenty-five years, twenty-three for
from twenty to twenty-five years and the re-
mainder for shorter terms. More than fifty
of the life men have been pardoned by DIFF
ferent governors. The total number of
murderers now at large in the State who
have been tried and sentenced since 1853, is
one hundred and sixty-two. Twenty three
have died or gone to the insane asylum.
These figures indicate wholesale system of
pardoning, and the average time for muir
derer sentenced to the Illinois penitentiary
appears to be three years and six months.

GAGE AND SONG"

In vain men tell us time can alter
Old loves or make old memories falter,
That With the old year the old year life closes
The old dew still falls on the old sweet flowers
The old sun reyives the ncw.hedged hours,
The old summer rears the new born roses.
Much more Muse that bears upon her
Rament and wreath and flower Of honor,
Gathered long since and long woven,
Fades not or falls rs falls the vernal
Blossoms that bear no fruit eternal
BY summer or winter charred or cloyen
No time casts down, no time upraises,
Such loves, such memories, and such praises
As needs no grace Of sup or shower,
No saving screen from frost or thunder,
To tend and house around and under
The imperishable and peerless flower
Old thanks, old thoughts, old aspirations,
Ouiived mems lives and live Of nations,
Dead, but for one thing which survives
The inalienable and unprced treasure,
The old JOY Of power, the pride OF pleasure,
That lives IN light above men's lives.

Any citizen is to have as much of
this fractional currency as he wants
upon paying coin or legal tender
notes for it at the Treasury until all
of the $50,000,0 900 shall be in circu-

rected, in redeeming national bank
notes and in all disbursements for
currency expenses, to make one
sixth of each payment in ST., 50, SO,

WHY ANDERSON GOES FREE.

New ORLEANS, April I'm its de.
cision refusing a rehearing in the
Anderson case, the Supreme Court
dwells upon what it considers the
faultiness and actual illegality ofthe
Indictment and information against
the prisoner. The decision bears Sc
verely on the State officials for what
is called the glaring fault in the in
formation ofnot charging the offence
in conformity to the laws direct
mandates, and of emitting to charge
the crimes to a public officer instead
of making the charge against a pri-
vate Individual, who, in that posi-
ton, was utterly incapable of COM
hitting the offences and doing the
injury charged, when it was notori-
GUS that as a'public official he did
effect the injury and commit the
crimes complained of. The COURTS
bitterly denunciatory of the Return
ing Boards frauds, of which it re-
marks that, "being done in their Of
fetal capacity, their fame and infamy
filled mems mouths. Everywhere,
in the market place and at the fire
side, in the press and the forum, at
the council board and in the legisla-
tive hall the official act is the thing
complained of and denounced. The
theory ofthe prosecution throughout,
outside of the information, is that
the act was done in an official capac-
ity, and therefore defrauded. The
argument of council, the charge of
the Judge, the bills of exception to
that charge, and to his ruling in the
course of the trial, are based on that
assumption. 1t is that feature which
has impaired to this prosecution the
interest and invested it with the
character of State trial, which gave
to the events that then TRANSFERRED,
and to the criminal acts which r a
part of them, national Importance;
and that feature, conspicuous every
where else, is absent from the infor-
nation.

permitted its Judgment to be clouded

The reports from 700 correspond
ents of the Department of Agricul-
ture show that the cereal expansion
which, during the past ten years has
represented an increase of fifty per
cent, will the present year exceed
that of all the former years. The
prospects of winter wheat, which
amounts to six-tenths of the whole
crop, accepted as q basis Of estimate,
and allowing a fair average to the
spring wheat crop, the yield will
reach 100000 900 bushels. The corr
yield, it is thought, will not be less
than 1900, OOO, 900 bushels.
