The testimony of doctors is the most
unreliable and dangerous testimony ever
received in courts of justice. They get
up a pet theory, and then swear it
through at all hazards. Many an un for
tunate man has suffered imprisonment,
and not few have suffered death, in
consequence of this weakness on the
part of doctors.
Here is an illustration, from the report
of murder case now on trial at Jersey
City:
DIR. Charles o. Viers was called. He
said that he examined with microscope
some substance that he got from under
the handle of the knife which had been
found in the vault, and discovered blood
corpuscles-he could not say whether
human or animal blood.
AS the witness said this the five law
yers for the defense looked up from the
table at which they were writing Mr..
Windfield's flexible brows arched them
shaggy wall, from beneath which he in
tently regarded the witness. Doctor" +"
said he. at the end of portentous mo-
ment, What led you to believe that
there was blood in that substance which
you discovered under the handle of that
knife2"
Because" said the Doctor, II saw
hematine and colored matter, which led
me to suppose it was blood
And did you in your testimony be-
fore the Coroner's jury state that you
had found blood corpuscles in that sub
stance which you examined.
81 did"
Mr.. Collinss fingers ran over a mass of
foolscap notes containing the Coroner's
evidence, and he found a passage and
passed it over to Mr.. Winfield, who
glanced at it, and carrying it to the wit
ness, showed it to him and asked:
"Is that your signature2"
"It is"
"And here you say, reading: II ex-
amined the substance which l scraped
from the the knife, and failed to discov-
er any blood corpuscles?'
The witness admitted that what he
had declared then was more likely to be
correct than what his recollection now
recalled.
Now, Doctor" pursued Mr. Winfield,
tipping back in his chair as the approba-
ton of the audience at this charge ex-
pressed itself in buzz which was prompt
ly checked by his honor, "hematine ex-
lists where?'
II cannot tell exactly"
docs it not exist in the corpuscles?"
"Yes, l believe it does"
"Then, if you failed to discover the
corpuscles you could not discover the
hematine?"
No, it seems not, as you put it"

ANOTHER CONTRIBUTION

The tax payers of Ohio have made an
other contribution the heather Indian
god, tobacco. 1t is only seventy five
thousand dollars this time. At seven
o'clock on Sunday morning, the Chill
drens Orphans Home, at Xenia, Ohio,
was destroyed by fire. Loss to the State,
$4,000.
The fire originated in the rag room,
and one theory is that some members of
the Legislature, who were there as a
committee, in a room over this rag room,
were smoking, and threw the stumps of
their cigars down into the rag room.
Another theory is that as the boys were
in the habit of going into the lower
rooms to hide while they smoked, that
they caused the fire. No one seems to
suspect any other origin for the fire than
that of the smoking theory Three
fourths of the fires originate in this way.

There is the usual fuss in the Legisla-
ture about Sheriff's advertising. This
time the discussion touches the old story
of official advertising in the German pa
pers. There is just one honest thing TO
do with the Sheriffs official advertising.
1t should be placed, at the option of the
parties interested, in the paper that seems
to them best The Sheriff should have
nothing to do with it, beyond certifying
its accuracy. 1t is an outrage upon the
unfortunate that the Sheriff should be
able to spin out wearisome advertise
NETS at their expense, and force them to
pay extortionate prices for matter that is
of no value to them, that he may place
the plunder largely in his own pocket.
The Sheriff has not right to put into his
purse one cent of the advertising spoil,
but he notoriously does it through cor
rupt collusion with the publishers he
deals In this county it has become the
habit of Sheriffs to put up the spoil of
the unfortunate at auction, and deal with
the publisher who will pay the largest
per cent. The abuse extends through
out the State. 1t is inveterate. There
is no hope of abolishing it. The reason
is that each Courthouse has its Ring
and pilfering from the people has become
a regular business-that the Sheriff ad
vertising is required for the county
organs, and is part of the system by
which the ringsters of the several coun-
ties are fattened, that they may go about
putting their cigars in the faces of honest
men. Touch the Sheriffs advertising,
therefore, and you start into activity all
the Courthouse rings in the State,
and each member of the Legislature
hears from his friends in tones and terms
that mean business, and he is warned not
to cut his throat and spoil his great here
after by making a reformer of himself in
the days of his youth.
The above is from the Cincinnati Com
mercial of course. Two or three years
ago the Commercial made a desperate and
dirty effort to get the Sherif's printing
in Hamilton county, and tried to secure
it at 333 per cent. above legal rates. No
little dingy patent outside paper in Ohio
ever descended so low in this matter as
did the Commercial

We understand an effort is to be made
to slice off a portion Of Washington tp
and attach it to Jackson county. The
plea that we hear is, that the north part
of the township is so remote that the
Commissioners can't be induced to do
anything for it in the way of roads. This
is not a good reason, and the scheme
should be resisted,-I Ironton Register.
The edge of Washington township,
Lawrence county, reaches within mile
of Washington and Gallia Station on the
railroad in this county, and half of that
township would find it a very great conve-
nience to transact all their county bust
ness at Jackson, instead Of at Ironton-
We would not object to taking the whole
township, which includes Olive and
Washin gton Furnaces

The Republican scheme to imprison
enough Democratic memb bers of Congress
to give them control Of the House is
probable enough, but not possible. That
is, it is probable that they are willing
and anxious to do so, but it is not posi-
BILE for them to execute it.-[Columbus
Democrat.
Why not? They are not afraid, are
they? Did they not count President
Tilden out and were not you Democrats
too cowardly to seat him Did they not
prevent President Tilden's friends from
buying him into the Presidency? Go to
cally Republicans may or may not do.

The Ohio Legislature always commen-
ces, on the first or second day of its ses-
sions, tinkering with printers fees
Members want to show their constituents
| how they love them, and how they want
to lower their taxes by cutting down
printers prices for legal advertising. But
when it comes to touching their own
fees and stealings, it is another thing
Now they get five dollars per day for
every day, including Sundays and they
get mileage, some fifteen to twenty times
more than it would cost them if they had
to pay but they have free passes on the
railroads.
Last week some greenhorn introduced
bill reducing the pay of members to
So 80 per day, but it was promptly post
poned indefinitely. AS slight evidence
of the stealings, read this, from Columbus
correspondence of the Cincinnati Times
A bomb-shell is liable to burst in the
Senate Chamber before long if the char
ges of crookedness in the Sergeant-at-
Arms Department prove true. Some
weeks ago each Senator was presented
with an elegant pearlhandled pocket
knife, which were excellent for cutting
plug tobacco and whiting. There was
a great demand for these knives, but the
supply was limited to one apiece for Sen
ators and officers. The assertion is now
made that the acquisitions are on file in
the Secretary of States office, signed by
the Sergeantat-Armso of the Senate, show
ing that 265 knives of various kinds have
been drawn, ostensibly for the use of
Senators. As there are but thirty-ive
Senators and ten officers, the question is
what has become of the other 220 knives.
The total value of these knives is said to
be about $780, When this news is made |
public, expect lively investigation.

The Cincinnati Gazette has made the
wonderful discovery that economy is not
the road to wealth, and a short time ago
it argued that the consumption of even
beer and whisky stimulated production.
1t now argues that if reducing consump
tion adds to prosperity, doing without
der production unnecessary, and stop all
industry.
Now, if we understand this argument,
it would add immensely to National and
individual wealth to burn every house in
the land How it would stir up work
among builders! And then farmers
should burn all their crops as soon as
produced. And SO on.

Mr.. Burke, mail agent on the M. q c. R.
R. Branch, assures US that the complaints
of the irregular distribution of mail along
that route, are in large measure ground
less and if the matters were investigated
would be found to be no fault of his
Portsmouth Times.
No one attaches any blame to Mr..
Burke. He is one of the most attentive
careful Mail Agents in the State. 1t is
true that the wrong person is often hlanl-
ed for Irregularities A short time ago
we spoke of the Portsmouth Times hav-
ing been taken past, and then coming
down from Hamden in the afternoon
Postmaster Baldridge says that the Times
came to his Office in the forenoon, as it
should have done, but he forgot to put it
into our box until after the boy had taken
out our morning mail.
We have also spoken about the Colum-
bus papers being taken past Waverly, to
Portsmouth, and then coming up the
next day, on the other road We are in
| formed that the mail from Columbus does
not get to Waverly in time to connect
with the train coming to this place, and
the mail by being sent to Portsmouth,
arrives here at 104, whereas if it lay over
at Waverly, it could not reach this place
until 12l5 next day.
We are also informed that if change
of some minutes in the time of the trains
could be made at Greenfield the Cincin-
natl mail could come from Greenfield by
way of Waverly, instead of going by way
of Hamden, and would get here nearly
three hours sooner than it now does
Such connections would certainly be a
great accommodation to travellers, as
well as to the entire community, who are
interested in rapid transportation of the
mails.
Will the proper authorities on all these
roads think of this matter?
