farther Have the Judiciary expenses in
this State" been ''reduced?" And if 80,
how? Will William Allen, or some other
gentleman of "rising up" propensity,
rise and explain how?
This, Mr. Editor, is by no means an ex-
treme, or an improbable illustration. 1t
will he observed, in the illustration used,
there was no fine imposed as part of the
penalty-it only embraced the c0Sts-and
dare say the certificates of cost bills on
file in the Office of Superintendent Smith,
will show that $50 is not an unusual figure
for cost bills to reach in criminal cases.
Now, what is to be thought of Section
~, of can Act to reduce the Judiciary ex>
penses in this State ?' Is the title mis-
nomer? And is the law just one? Has
any one yet. discovered how Section II
"reduces the Judiciary expenses in this
State ?' And how has any Legislature the
right to ent0re tile collection
Of cost bills in that way? When you get
down into the true inwardness" of sec
lion ~, does it amount to anything else
than cruel and unjust method of collect
ing cost bills?
Viewed in the only light in which can
zee it, the title to this Act is a fraud, and
most clearly misnomer; while Section ~

May 23d, 1879.
To the Editor OF the Comet:
I have received three numbers of your
paper, and am more than pleased. All
three issues are full of Interesting reading
on every page" 1 was specially struck
with the speech,of Robinson, colored, at the
labor convention. 1t was fine speech.
After reading it over, was anxious to fix
in my mind where had heard something
like it. Surely it bore resemblance to
something heard or read. At first my mind
rested upon the efforts of Mr.. Chadband !;
than the speech of Mr.. Robinson-more
pious. At last located the speech. 1 did
not hear it when delivered, but read it. 1t
was the speech of S. Fl. Stackhouse Esq,
in the theatre, at Buffalo, New York. in
1875, believe. I shall never forget that
speech, for thought then, and think now,
that it was worthy of immortality.
Over here, the people think that the ne
groes ought to experiment little in Kansas
This Kansas fever is like measles A person
never has it but once. This exodus is over,
and would have been over without the
Vicksburg meeting. There is sure check
10 all foolish action, in the fitness of things,
there is sure method of getting rid of
caprice and whims, and foolish notions.
Just go ON awhile.
Two schoolmasters ia Mississippi once
concluded to turn their faces away from
Hostetter, Brady, Plantation and Home
Bitters, because they contained alcohol,
and to try DR.. Walkers California Vinegar
Bitters. They saw an almanac, with the
picture of train of cars and rail-
way. The stations were marked off,
etc. Through tickets to He'll were sold
from Whisky Gulch, and other like
named stations. The Vinegar Bitters
contained no alcohol, and cured all
dlstempers without putting one on this
dangerous train for hell. Our two friends
resolved to fall into line, notwithstanding
an old lady told them to "go Slow" that
the Vinegar Bitters were very saTchin. 4
bottle was bought. The two brethren met
about sundown, endorsed DR.. Walker and
opened the bottle. The Senior drank
good draft. He was staggered. No such
combination of iniquitous tastes had ever
assailed his palate. His stomach rebelled
but, in order that his companion mi
share in the retrenchment and reform, he
haid nothing, but handed the bottle to the
other teacher, and walked away. Teacher
number two drank deeply, and said some-
thing that is not proper to be written. The
next morning both gentlemen looked pale.
Nothing more was ever said about the Cali |
fornia Bitters. The reform stopped there;
and it is not known to this day what became
of the bottle of Bitters. If this expert |
ment had not been tried, the Vinegar Bitters
would have been pushed. As it is, two
mtn never recommend them. No further |
was ever required. So with |
the exodus. 1t will stop. Have no further
The speeches of Hill and
are worth nothing in comparison
with a little Kansas experience.
Crops here are good, and Texas is still
considered the land of promise.
Truly yours, SENIOR.

Mr.. BRoRsEN's comet approached the

that Of other comets.

The import Of American mcat into this country
Is assuming such large dimensions tint It is not
surprising farmers begin to be somewhat anxious
AZ to the future OF thu cattle trade. Hume it,

generally, was given ut dinner held few days

American meat trade, THO Chairman In tho
course OF his observations observed thnt trfarm-
crs might be assured that tic coming summer
and autumn would be the worst they had to
face with America, largo freight contracts hav.
ing been entered Into for tho transport Of cnttle

that he was afraid many OF them would
