ters, Cottle 6s Co., and judgment bad, though

The judgments, though taken by default,
must still be based on testimony; and these

CHICAGO; Aug. 23:-In Jour issue Of the 81st

about barber who was sued for 8 50 nat lost
at his shop, for which he was notified to appear
at some remote corner in Cook County for trial,
thereby causing him to incur an expense ID
going to and from said point Of at least $780,
besides the Justice, Constable, and other fees,
which in all probability exceeded Sc more, as
judgment is invariably rendered against. the
defendants. Now, Mr. Editor, as you are ever
Oh the side Of Justice, wouEd Jou not be doing a
kindness to the community By aseertafnlng the
names Of the would-6e pettifuggers WHO practice
these tascaly acts and publish them, Thereby
causing the finger of scorn and contempt to be
pointed at them, until they seek some other
point t. ply their dirty avocation?
am informed that there are from twenty-five
to thirty eases weekly at Dalton and Thornton,
besides as many more at other places In the
county. Particular pains are taken by the Con
stables to give you the wrong directions. so that
you may not reach the Justices Court in time
for trial, and auy other deception that can be
practiced is surely done. OBSERVER.

VERY DESIRABLE CANDIDATE

Many of the prominent citizens OF
Virginia are urging j. H. Douglass,
the senior member of the brokerage
firm Of Douglass & Thompson, to al
low his name to be used, at the forth
coming Democratic convention, in
connection with the nomination For
Mayor, assuring him that if he does
be will not only be nominated, bat
elected by a large majority. We
hope thai Mr.. Douglass will become
Z candidate. The salary attached to
the Office (only SIS month, We be-
lieve) il quite insignificant, and the
man who accepts it must do so from
q sense of honor coupled with a de-
sire to be of use to his fellow-citi-
zsns. Mr.. Douglass is ayouug man,
bur with an old head; his business
ability is Of the first class, and, there
fore, such as is required to steer the
city's financial bark clear of the
snags and breakers SO plentiful in
these hard times. HIS, business not
monopolizing his time, he can well
afford 10 pay to the city's nffairs that.
attention which they require. Hav-
ing never been an aspirant for public
Office, and having strictly attended
to his private business, he has few. if
any, enemies. He would therefore
be entirely unobjectionable and (the
Office being non-politicaD would
doubtless draw to his support the
best men Of both parties.

Shortly after ten o'clock last night
Patrick Burns who lives at Blue
Hills, accidentally shot himself, on
wadsworth street, without knowing
it at the time. He had been in town
making a call, and had started to
walk home. AS he passed along
Wadsworth street he heard the re-
port of pistol Shot, but did not
drea IN that weapon, which he had
in the right hand pocket Of his ul-
ster, had been discharged. He kept
on to West street, when he found
. that be had been shot in the abdo-
men. He did not then think that
his own pistol had gone Oh, but
supposed that he had been shot by
some one else when he heard the re-
port on Wadsworth street. He was
growing fainter all the time. and
staggered upon the porch of house
where two women came out
and they, too, considered that lie
was drunk, ridiculed his assertions.
A young man subsequently went in
search of a policeman, and found Off
Ger Miles, who took the wounded
man in charge and conveyed him to
the station house. Upon arriving
there it was perfectly evident that
he was entirely sober. An exami-
nation of the pistol in his pocket
disclosed the fact that it had been
discharged, and hole in the pocket
and through the ulster showed the
direction of the ball. Burns said
that he had his hand in his pocket,
but could not account for the acct

Aa -BUsINEss seems to multiply
on the hands Of the Presbytery of
Brooklyn, which at first commenced
operations on one minister, but now
has in addition six contumacious
church members to deal with. The
committee which formulated the
charges against DIR. Talmage pre-
sented formidable list of witnesses
to prove the accusations. The "true
inwardness" of how this committee
was deluded into believing that
these gentlemen knew anything
against Talmage is as yet an un-
written bit of history. The six wit
nesses having been twice cited, and
having twice refused to have any,
thing to de- with the trial, they are,

accommodated until they repent.
Instead of being sorry, they read
the Presbytery lecture for its folly
in going into the Tslmage. trial al
all, and this nils the prosecutors
exceedingly full Of indignation.
This causes great embarrassment,
and still greater embarrassment is
caused by the, unforeseen contradic-
