An Airing in Newport.

The books of ex-County Clerk Air, of
Newport KY. have been found in bad
fix, and leave several large interpretations
without any legal existence. =
Yesterday Mr.. J. D. Hearne, of Coving-
ton, called at the County Clerks office to
obtain the original papers of the incor-
poration of the Cincinnati Iron and Pipe
Company. Mr.. Charles Gallagher Deputy
Clerk, made diligent search for them but
failed to find them, and only could inform
Mr.. Hearne that the papers were left for
record previous to his official capacity.
Mr.. Hearne then started out and hunted
up Mr.. John Bodley, who was Deputy
Clerk during Mr.. Ed. Airs administration,
and they both returned to the County
Clerks office and searched while for the
papers, but could not find them. The
Record Book was then looked into and, IT,
Mr.. Hearne's surprise, he found that the
articles OF Incorporate n were on the books,
but that the County Clerks certificate was
not attached to it as is required by law
| Thus this company, that is now doing a
large business has been in the eyes of the
law operating without any legal authority,
owing to the neglect of the Clerk in failing
to properly certify to his own records.
On looking over the records we find the
articles OF incorporation of the following
| that the Clerks certificate is not attached
to: United States Secret Service Company,
Newport Spar Verein Building and Saving
Association, Drake Baton Iron and Band
Tie and Bale Company, Camp
bell County Building and Saving
Association, and German Evangelical
Church Company. The Building As
sociations have been doing business all the
time, but it will be observed that they are
| Through the neglect of Mr.. Air to sign the
certifcate) not legalized Associations, and
if they had any suits in Courts or financial
difficulties they could not make one dollar
off of any person under their present char
ter. The only way this erroneous neglect
can be rectified is by special act of the
Legislature. .. .
| A STAR reporter started out this morning
on tour of investigation, and was
obliged to arrive at the conclusion that
there was vast amount OF smoke but very
little fire; in other words, that there was
no criminal intent on the part OF the ex.
County Clerk, and nothing more
than an oversight in following uI
his deputies to place hi
signature on documents after they has
completed the certificate for his signature
At times, when there was o rush of bust
ness, the clerk allowed his son, Louie Air
to draw up documents. but had neglected
to follow him up and fill up the blanl
space left for his signature. The County
Clerk can not be held responsible for thu
safety of original documents for ineorpora
tors.

SUPREME COURT.

We invite the attention of the legal
profession, land especially the Circuit
Judges and District Attorneys,) to the
opinion of the Supreme Court in the
case of Turbeville VS.. The State which
we publish to-day in full.
Unless the law as therein announced
on the subject of the presence of the
Judge in court, and his control thereof,
during the whole Of the trial in cases
of felony, should be carefully observed,
reversals will be the result.
In this case, however, there was no
such absence from the room or relin-
quishment of authority over and con-
troll of the court by the very efficient
and attentive Judge presiding, as to
affect the judgment, but the opinion
shows the absolute importance Of tho
presence of the Judge during the whole
of the trial in such cases, and so indis-
pensable in his presence that it cannot
be waived by the accused so rs to be
binding on him. His presence in and
control over the court is as necessary
during the agreement of counsel to the
jury as at any other stage of the trial.

COL. HOOKER AND THE YELLOW
FEVER PROPOSITION IN
CONGRESS-.

Much comment in different newspa-
pers has been made upon the speech
and action of Col. Hooker on the yell
low fever subject. He has been repre-
sented as throwing stumbling blocks in
the way of proper action on the part OF
Congress because he thought it was
better to save the rights of the States
than the health of the fever-ridden
section. We give his speech on the
subject below. 1t will be seen that
the word States-rights, or the idea of
States-rights, finds no expression in the
speech. Mr.. Garfield had the floor
and yielded three minutes to Col.
Hooker, who said:
Mr.. HOOKER. I think the substitute
which has Just been read in the hearing of
the House, offered by the majority of the
House committee for the Senate bill, is not
obnoxious to the criticism passed on it by
the gentleman from Ohio. There is in this
substitute no conflict between the authority
of the United States and the powers to be
exercised under it and the authority of the
State. When we were taking this testimony
in New Orleans, of the medical experts who
spoke advisedly aud intelligently on the
origin and cause of the fever, the great bulk
of them concurred in the opinion that this
disease whenever it visited our country was
imported. And when we took the testi-
mony of commercial men on the question
tn bnuy tho ol1uplufa hut e
ports like New Orleans would affect
trade that would be especially affected
by it, with South America, all concurred in
the opinion that the question ofinterference
with commerce was not to be considered,
even in money point OF view, in compar-
ison with the terrible losses which the prov
alenca of the epidemic always caused.
This evidence went to show that we could
establish national quarantine running all
along the Atlantic coast against the ports
from which this disease is usually brought
that we could establish a national quaran-
tine, to be maintained by the Navy of the
United States, in great degree, that
should guard the outer lines of ap-
proach Of these infectious diseases, while
we would not interfere with the State
or city regulations which were design
ed to protect the States or cities on the At |
lantic coast. Would you establish a nation
al quarantine, in the language of the gen
teman from Ohio, which would do away |
with the local quarantine? Would you
establish under the bill as it comes from |
the Senate national quarantine that would !
destroy the quarantine of New York and |
Boston and Charleston and Savannah and |
New Orleans? The very Office and function
of the House bill is that while we guard
the national quarantine, at the same time
we preserve the quarantine which the States
and cities on the Atlantic coast have pro-
vided for themselves.
Here the hammer fell.

BLAINE, on last Monday, made a speech
in the Senate, when he attempted to pull
verize the whole Democratic clan. He said
Eaton had misinterpreted Webster, who
had always said this government was ma
:ional, if he said anything about it. ''Be>
ing a compact betwce en- States" It was a
chance expression.
He then alluded to Alexander Stephens
as a man who had done more harm by the
dissemination of pernicious doctrines than
any man in America; who was more dan
gerous because he was sincere.
Abiding to Hill, Blaine, said he profess
cd to be Unionist, but voted Tor secession.
Some mention of Delaware as disloyal
State brought up Bayard, who resented the
charge with much feeling and decided adj
vantage to himself so far as the debate
went.
Blaine charged that the Democrats of
the North did not save the Union, as Hill
said, but the party had often denounced
the war for the Union, particularly in Ohio.
He then said Hampton had made
speech since the war, threatening a new
revolution when the occasion offered and
the South became strong enough.
This brought Hampton to the floor, who
denied the statement in toto in a very effec-
tive way.
Blaine spoke with difficulty, and not as
as be generally does.

half dozen to a dozen at a time, thereby in
surfing their freshness and turning
to the old negro, said, ''does he not,
uncle?r

times a half bushel or bushel and half

eggs are fresh and good, do youl"
Freedman, Scratching his head Don't
know, Massa-but spec day am.'
Polite Clerk, (blushing)-"Oh, well that's
all right-bring in the eggs"
Here the dialogue ended, much TO the
embarrassment of the purchaser, and the
evident discontinue of the polite clerk, who
thinks Solomon was mistaken when he said
words fifty spoken we're like apples Of gold
in pictures of silver.
