Bar Meeting.

On last Saturday evening the Bar of
jackson county, at the invitation of JAS
Trip, Judge elect of this subdivision of
the Seventh Judicial District, held a
pleasant reunion at the rooms OF George
Pugh, Esq, Broadway. An organization
was effected by selecting Elihu johnson,
the Mentor of the Bar, to preside over
the meeting. The old veteran supported
fully the dignity of the Office with great
decorum
An elegant oyster supper was served
up IN Mr.. Pugh's own inimitable and

Dear little Sissy Nichols, of the Spring
field Republic is gradually settling down
to solid business. For instance, in her
paper of last Friday she says:
"We have grievously insulted Mackley,
of the Jackson Standard, by naming him
as a candidate for Lieutenant Governor.
We should have placed him at the head
of the ticket and given Private Dalzell
the second place. Then we would have
had two of a kind, and we would say that
to those who would like that style of a
ticket it would be very acceptable. By
the way, we are prepared to apologize
to private Dalzell, on demand"
Now we might just as well be frank,
lay aside our modesty, and let our little
sister-and the Republican party, know
just what we think ought to be done.
Let Grosvenor and Dalzell, or Dalzell
and Grosvenor, we do not care which is
head, or which is tail-let them be nom
ieated for Governor and Lieut. Governor,
and let the Republican convention adopt
the suggestion of the Cincinnati Gazette,
and name a man for United States Sena-
tor. Sissy knows who that man ought
to be. With three such sorrel topped,
sanguine, stalwart men as Grosvenor,
Dalzell and-the editor of the Standard
to the front, the State can be carried by
something less than one hundred and
fifty thousand majority.

HEATHENISH LEGISLATION,

Men of middle age will remember that
when they were boys, studying History
and Geography, that they were amazed
at the stupidity of the Chinese Empire in
excluding all foreigners. Other nations
complained of this exclusiveness, and the
United States Government, after much
effort, succeeded in negotiating treaty
with the Chinese Empire, each country
solemnly covenanting with the other to
permit free immigration. Last week a
bill passed the House of Representatives
to disregard this treaty-or in other
words, bill to dishonor this nation
The vote stood, low demagogues l55, hon
orable men y. We very much regret
that Henry S. Neal, from this district,
voted with the former crowd.
We publish elsewhere articles uroa this
work of bad faith and dishonor, from the
N. Y, Sun and the Cincinnati Tines

the meeting in few pleasing remarks,
during which he stated that for thirty
six years he had been engaged in practice
at the Jackson County Bar; that his re-
lations with his brethren during that long
period had been in the main pleasant
He spoke in terms of commendation of
the retiring Judge, and expressed his
trust and confidence in the ability and
integrity of the incoming one. Mr..
DUNCAN was very felicitous in bis remarks.
Many others Of the lawyers present
responded to calls made upon them, and
the hours wore pleasantly away. There
was no f1ippancy nor aimless jest indulg-
ed in; the gentlemen seemed to act as
though they felt the law to be a grave
and august profession, and when one of
them stated that the lawyers have done
more toward the civilization of the world
than any of the other learned professions,
the sentiment was received with applause.
At late hour Judge Trip was called
out. During much of the entertainment
he had manifested great feeling, as
indeed was the natural result of the
many kind expressions zmade in his
regard, and now, when he arose, in re
sponse to the call, his emotion was very
obvious.
In voice tremulous from deep feeling,
he thanked the gentlemen present for
their kind words of encouragement and
confidence, and trusted that the honor
and distinguished courtesy of the Jack
son Bar would greatly aid him in the
arduous duties of his office upon which
he is now about to enter
The best of feeling prevailed. and at q
late hour the undersigned were appoint
ed to prepare this statement for the press
The occasion was one of great pleasure
and interest. Many of the thoughts there
expressed are worthy of immortal, but
we have not space for all, and it would
be invidious to particularize. Taking
that meeting for guide, it is safe to say
that the new Judge assumes his Office
backed by the united good wishes of oul
entire Bar.

cratic paper, and the organ of the party
in Pike county. 1t gives our Democratic
Judge the following parting kick:
The Commissioners of Jackson county
give the people to understand that they
stand by their record, Notwithstanding
the alleged crookedness unearthed by
the recent investigating committee. 1t
is claimed that the committee appoint ted
to examine the Commissioner Report
of Jackson county, like the committee
appointed in our county, was set up job
of few gentlemen, who were anxious to
get even with somebody. This piece of
dirty work, in both counties, we are told i,
was not only known TO, but participated
in by his Honor, (O Judge Porter Du
Halfway. We are satisfied this was the
case in this county, and that in the selec
tion of at least one member of the exam
ining committee there was some mighty
dirty, low down work done. But then,
it is all right. Such work will hurt no
body, and then, it is very gratifying to
all honest, fair minded people TO know
that it is the last dying kick of a CALLED
jackass. What beautiful chrome.

The quickest and surest mode of con-
version seems to be stout rope, with a
slip-noose at one end. 1t is really aston
ishing how supremely happy and conten-
ted criminal becomes when it becomes
certain that he has but few hours to re-
main on earth. Though his life may
have been. from early childhood up to the
moment of the death sentence, career
or sin, he finds at the last moment that
he is truly blest, and, as the hangman
adjusts the white cap, the culprit casts
his eyes pityingly upon those about the
scaffold, and solemnly assures them that
he "forgives everybody" 1t is truly
gratifying to witness such sublime peace

Every violation of law, wheth er natu
raj law or moral law, must be visited
with punishment. God works by un-
changeable laws, and by natural means.
We came to the conclusion, years ago,
that the laws regulating drunkenness
must operate in the natural way, and
work cure. When we read such arti-
cles as the following from last Sundays
Cincinnati Commercial, we are convinced
that it is the natural law of the case, Or
dained by Providence, and is right. The
only regret is, that the drunkards did
not succeed in killing each other:
IRoNToN, O., February There was a
terrible carving affray in East Ironton
last night. James Smith, a desperate,
frightfully mangled the face of Rube

nearly ended bis life by fearful cash in
the neck. Both men were intoxicated
The case was brought before the Mayor
this afternoon, and Smith was fined thir-
ty dollars and remanded to jail

by China, and so eagerly sought for by
the former that its ratification was hur-
ried through the Senate with Joy more
than twelve months before the Emperor
of China approved it. 1t is token of
the shameless disregard of modern Con-
crosses for the binding force alike of
constitutions and treaties, that we find
schemes like the present urged.
Now, if it be deemed public policy to
restrict Chinese immigration, there is a
lawful, just, and honorable way to go to
work. 1t is, first of ALL to invite the
power with which we made the treaty to
modify or abrogate it. This at all times
the only courteous and creditable way of
proceeding with a friendly power, be-
comes strikingly so now, when China has
established at Washington an embassy
specially designed to consider promptly
and amicably all international questions,
and particularly this very one of the
Chinese race in America Yet this is the
moment chosen for course which is of
fensive and insulting, as well as a viola
ton of plighted faith. The friends of
this bill seem to have been anxious to do
something which should defy interna-
tional courtesy and justice. On all
grounds, Of policy and prudence as well
as of right, no such treaty-breaking pre-
cedent should be set up. The bill should
be defeated.
