received, and as you lawyers do not get
within twelve hundred dollars of each
other, l believe Patterson is as likely to
be correct as any Of you.
Now let me give whatyou signed as one
of the committee
The Committee further finds that the Com
missioners have made allowances TO attorneys
for defending persons charged with crimes
was no authority of law, as said allowances
were made for services rendered prior to April
IL, 1877, and that said crimes were neither cap
ital nor punishable by imprisonment in the
penitentiary for life.
gal fees to which the Auditor is entitled
those prescribed in the Act OF April "a, 1877, and
mssioners are in excess of the amount he
should receive under said act, and that part
| of said excess is without any authority of law,
and that balance of said excess has been al
| lowed under a construction of the first section
| of said act, which the Committee believe to be
| erroneous.
| 1t will be seen that you never pretend
ed in that report to give any amount, or
even hint at any amuont. And why are
you as dumb as dead oyster about the
money unlawfully paid to certain attor-
neys? Who are these attorneys, and
how much did each receive in violation
of law Are you not one of them? Did
not your partners, Moore and DUNCAN,
get some of this money, and did not you,
as one of the firm, get part of it? Out
with it now Why not, if you are so
anxious to stir up a lawsuit, propose to
Charley Atkinson to bring suit against
yourself for this money Illegally paid to
you? No withdrawing" by you in this
attorney matter, is there? l believe
there is no statute in Ohio against cham
perty and maintenance, but at common
law you have committed an offense.
Webster says, in giving the definition of
Maintenance
''5. In lac, an officious intermeddlng in a
suit in which the person has no interest, by as
sisting either party with money or means to
prosecute or defend it. This is a punishable of
fense.'
If the people OF Jackson county had
desired your services in this matter. they
would have elected you Prosecuting At
torney in place of Mr.. Atkinson as you
and he were candidates two years ago.
If you are really in earnest, and looking
to the best interests of the people of the
county, and want to get up an amicable
suit for their benefit, suppose you get the
last Democratic County Commissioners te
waive the the statute of limitations. anc
let you bring suit against them. That il
a clear case, and the amount now due, o
principal and interest, is between $35 ,0O(
and $4,000 Will you do it?
Yours, DAVIS MACKLEY.

EMMITT.

One of the funniest things we ever
read, was in a sketch of the life of James
Emmitt, published in the Portsmouth
Times last week, where it is said that Mr..
Emmitt was the first President of the
S, j. & P Railroad, and that the sue
cessful completion of the road was largely
due to Mr.. Emmitt. Now all who are
conversant with the inside facts about
this railroad enterprise know that Mr..
Emmitt was most miserable and utter
failure as President of the road, and that
he was compelled to resign, or he would
have been put out.
When Mr.. Emmitt was elected Presi-
dent of the road, we admit that we had
great confidence in his alleged business
qualifications; but soon it leaked our that
he had made contract for the construc-
ton of the road with bogus company,
and that large number of poor laboring
men were, for time at least, swihdled
out of their hard earnings by this pre-
tended company, and their wages were
tied up in a lawsuit for many months,
and we do not know whether they have
received their pay up to this day
Mr. Emmitt came to jackson to urge
the stockholders to pay up, and made a
little speech in the Court House, in the
course of which he admitted how he had
been fooled by this Great Western Con
struction Company" We asked him
how he came to enter into so important
a contract without ascertaining some
thing about their means and responsible
ity-why he had not written or tele-
graphed to a commercial agency, or some
bank in Cincinnati, where they pretended
to have their office. - why" said Mr..
Emmitt, they had fine Autographed let
ter heads, giving the amount of their cap
ital stock, and had no doubt it was just
as they represented" Now a man who
had no more sense than to be swindled
in so great matter, by bogus letter
head, is surely too silly to be sent TO Con
gress, with safety to the business inter
ests of this district.

Correspondence.

We have received several letters which have
been crowded over for time. The first is from
our old Sabbath School Superintendent-the
man who laid out the town of Oak Hill, in this
county, 45 years ago. We give this letter to
show the undying love of parents for their chill
dren. Here is man So years of age, still re-
membering kindly the dust of his children
who died more than half century ago:

an old friend, for advice and assistance. You
are aware that have moved about & great
deal, and that my family have all died and are
buried in different places. have thought of
trying to gather their remains together, but
never felt that was settled in any place where
L should finish my mortal existence, and there

Now, at the age of S5, L conclude that here
will be my last resting place of all that remains
of mortality. Now my former wife and chill

Ell ECT FARMER

The editor of this paper resided on a
farm until he was thirty years of age.
This gives US some knowledge of the
business, and right to speak in behalf
of farmers We see no reason why a
man has any more right to be elected to
office because he is farmer, than if he
is carpenter lawyer, or blacksmith.
There is this about it; if farmer wants
a house built he does not go to the law
yer to get a man to do it; if he has law
suit in court, he does not go to the farmer
or the wagonmaker to get man to man
age his suit if his family are sick, he
does not go to the wood chopper, or
teamster, or 'ore-digger, to get medicine.
If the people want law enacted, or a
law administered, they should get the
men who know what laws are now in
force, and what new ones, if any, are
needed. This looks reasonable. A man
who aspires to make laws should be a
man of very general information; should
be we'll educated. This would include a
knowledge practical knowledge-of
farming.
What we set out to say was, that we are
disgusted with the demagogues who are
constantly talking to farmers and labor
ing men as if they had no sense, and
could be fooled or fattered into any non
sense. We know that farmers are capa-
BILE of making very good officers. Judge
Evans was raised on farm, and he has
made one of the best of officers. His op-
ponent John L. Long, was raised in a
dry goods store, and only went to farm
ing after he had reached middle life.
Whether he would make as good an Off
Ger as Judge Evans, would be a rather
risky experiment. ..
Mclaughlin and Paine were both
brought up upon farms, and have com
plete practical knowledge of the business.
Mr.. Mclaughlin is nothing but farmer,
while Mr.. Paine is thoroughly educated
farmer, few men, if any, in the county
having so complete scientific education
as he has. And in addition, he is law
yer-not much of practitioner yet, but
man fresh from the study of the great
elementary principles of the law.

JUDGE.

A Judge of the Court OF Common Pleas
should be man we'll posted in law, both
by reading and practice. He should not
attempt to assume the responsible Office
of Judge until he has had many years
practice, and that general practice In
our courts in the country, where there is
but one Judge, the criminal, chancery
and law cases are all tried in the same
court, and by the same Judge, and this
requires a varied and general knowledge
of every part Of the law.
A Judge should be man Of stern in
tegrity and honesty lie should possess
great tirmness, courage and impartiality
He should be man of pure private char
acter, honest and truthful in all his deal
ings with his fellow men. And above
and beyond all this, he should be relia-
bly, temperate and sober man In too
many districts in Ohio the people have
been cursed with drunken judges. This
is not only a burning shame and disgrace
but it is dangerous and costly. How
often have jurors, witnesses and litigants
to remain for days at great expense, fol
drunken Judge to sober up?
James Trip is a man who comes fully
up to our ideal of Judge. No man
will dispute this proposition.
How about Mr.. McGillivray? We dc
not know. Does anybody know? Ha;
he the requisite legal knowledge and ex
|
his debts? Is he a sober man. and if so
has he always been so? We are no
able to answer these questions.

JUDGE EVANS.

John j. C. Evans has been Probate
Judge of Jackson county nearly nine
years, being now near the end OF his
third term. He has no enemies, ard no
man can, or does, say one word against
him. He makes an officer that just suits
the people. He now very fully under
stands the duties of the Office. He is
thoroughly honest, faithful and capable.
He is man of pure and exalted moral
character, liberal, humane, generous, and
religious.
Why should he not be elected for the
fourth time? "'Oh," says one, "he has
held the office long enough. Let som e
one else have it." Why2 If Office is a
reward, to be bestowed upon any one for
political, or other services, there might
be some sense in such an argument; but
if an officer is the servant of the people,
then there is no sense or reason in such
an argument-in fact, it is no argument.
Why should not the people fill the Offices
upon business principles ,? How do bust
ness men manage such matters? A
farmer hires a man to work on his farm
he serves him faithfully for years, and
knows where every tool and implement
are to be found, the horses, cattle, and all
on the farm understand him, and he
knows how to manage them. All at
once the farmer discovers that the faith
full man has been in his employ long
enough, and he turns him off, only be-
cause he has been long on his service,
and hires green hand. This will apply
in a much greater degree in the case of
book-keepers and clerks, and in still
greater degree in The case of competent,
honest, and experienced officers. Why
not?
