We did tho Appellate Court Of this eistrlct
and the Circuit Judges Of this county an In
justice yestertlay III publishing cominunI-
cation from d lawyer, aud in editorial COM
ments thereon, respecting tho business Of
that Court Substantially 1t was stated that
out Of fifty-four cases taken 10 tho Appellate
Court from this county flfsy-thrce were ro-
yersed and only one affirmed. Tho writer
WIS tod into this mistake by forgetting or
not knowing that tue Appellate Court Is not
required 10 deliver written opinions except
In those casos which arc reversed, md hence
the volume Of reportcd opinions contains
only cases that wcre reversed. In ono case
of special public interest tho Court gave o
written opinion affirming tho Judgment be-
low. This fully explains what seemed to be
wholesale aud extraordinary reversal OF
Judgments.
Alr. SMITH, tho Clerk OF the Appellate
Court, furnishes t,s with some facts concerns
ing the businesa Of TINT Court, from which
1t nppears TINT tho whole number Of cascs

Tho number determined By tho Appellate
Conr. was 23+. OF which about GO per cent,
or thrse-afths, have boon affirmed mud tho
others reversed and remun1cd.
Tho wholo number Of casos In which tho
sum in controversy Is II 900 and over ia
125. From those reversed aud re,nanlet1
there is no nppoal to Tho Supreme Court ;
those cases arc returned to tho Courts In
which they originated. OF tho casos at
tr,nel, only ~ hava been appealed to the
Supreme Court. OF tho 23t casea ndjn<1l'
called by the Appellate Court, only 2c hnve

In tho absenco Of that Court perhaps 200 Of

SHERMAN. sTUMPED.

Honest John Sherman is now earning
his money as Secretary of the Treasury,
stumping New York State for Cornell.
This is not in accordance with HAYES
civil service order, which prohibits
; Federal officeholders,. who are paid by
the people irrespective of party for at.
tending to the duties of their respective
offices, from active participation in po-
itical affairs; but Sherman knows that
the Administration never intended. to
enforce that order, and he has repeatedly
disobeyed it. The Secretary, in laud-
ing Cornell from the stump advises all
to vote for him because she isan honest
and excellent man. This recommenda.
lion has been an unfortunate one for
bae Secretary, as well as his. candidate
for Governor of. New York. Hayes,
among other civil service orders, de-
creed that no man should be removed
from office on account of his political
opinions so long as he performed his
duties faithfully and honestly. In the
face of this decree he removed Cornell
from the position of Collector of the
Portsof New York. Inquisitive' electors
now ask Sherman:r. "Why Cornell
was removed if he is as honest as he
represents him to be-" This simple
question has stumped Sherman, and is
liable TO cost his pet candidate many
votes. Cornell ives removed from. a
Federal office against the professions Of
Conkling, presumably because he was
dishonest, or incapable Of filling it,
yet Sherman and Conkling would have
people believe that he is, honest and ca.
pable enough to be Governor of the
Empire State, with it's four millions OF
inhabitants; but if he is elected it will
be because Tammany has been pur.
chased by the Republicans, and not be.
cause OF Sherinan's laudations.

jay GOULD REJoIc,xG.

The New York Tribune, founded BY
Horace Greeley, but now run in tha in
terest of Jay Gould, the notorious
stock -iobber, and owner of the Union
Pacific Railroad, is ecstatic over the de-
feat of Thurman in Ohio. The people
whose money and credit built the Union
Pacific road, and furnished a surplus
over the actual cost sufficient to en-
rich the builders, were anxious to
secure by legislation the repayment Of
what they are responsible for. Tha
owners of the road showed no disposition
to enter into any arrangement of that
kind, and their attorneys in the Senate
and House of Representatives declared
that no law could be passed to compel
them to provide for the payment OF
what they owed. The corporation and
its agents had first mortgage on the
property and the Government, as agent
for the people, held a second mortgage.
The corporation intended when the
first bonds became due, to let the road
he sold and compel the Government to
lose millions of dollars. CT pay off the
first mortgage bonds. Thurman, in
the interest of the people, drafted bill
and forced it through Congress to conn
pei not only the. Union Pacific Railroad
Company, but the Central PACIFIC, to
create sinking fund in which a
certain percentage of the earnings
of the roads should ba.deposited to pay
the debt at maturity. This act, which
is known. as the Thurman bill, was con-
tested ins the Courts, and decided by
the Supreme Court to be constitutional;
Bradley and Strong, of Electoral Corar
mission notorlety, wholwere railroads.&c.
torneys before Grant appointed them,to
the Supreme Bench, when the Court
was remodeled to. reverse thesdeclsion
OF Chief Justice Chase, and Field, who
is said by the lawyers. to~be specially
friendly to corporations, dissenting
from the opinion of the majority OF the
judges To defeat Thurman, Gould is
said to have invested considerable
money where it would do the most
good in the Ohio election, and his
organ, the New York Tribune, rejoices
over his success. Thurman, who, of
all men in the United States Senate
has stood by the people, is defeated for
reelection, and strange to say, many
who pretended to be violently anti-rail-
road in sentiment, and in favor OF max.
ing corporations pay what they owe,
the Government, join Jay Gould's organ
in exulting over his downfall.
