! A .long-winded lawyer lately de-
Tended criminal unsuccessfully, and
during the trial the judge received the
following note :s=a'.f.
"The prisoner humbly prays that
the time occupied by the plea Of the
counsel for the defense be counted in
his sentence. This recalls an Incl
dent in our State Supreme Court.
The late Mitchell Sanford was argu-
ing case and the late Judge Gould
was presiding. The Judge had inter
rupted the counsel considerably, and
when he reminded the counsel that his
'shour was up the latter said /;
"Wcll, Your Honor ought to give me
half an hour more, for you have talked
half the tine since I have been. on
NY feet. !" The same Judge once fell
into ferry-way and, unable 10 swim,
he had the presence of mind to turn
on his back and hoat until he was res
cned. In narratlng the circumstance
to lawyer. he said; ''All l had tt
do was to keep on my back with my
mouth shut for three minutes The
lawyer exclaimed: Judge, how die
you manage to keep your mouth shu
lso long!'

The Paris Mercury suggests the
name of A. Nj. Alexander, of Monroe.
as Democratic candidate for congress
from that district to succeed Judge
Buckner. But we imagine it will be
a somewhat difficult undertaking TO
convince the people of the Thirteenth
District that they will improve their
condition by nominating a politician
of the Alexander calibre over a man
of the high ability and national rep
utation Of Judge Buckner. Few Ills.
trlcts in the country are represented
in congress with the same ability and
credit and for frivolous reasons to
set aside a representative OF the
character, standing and experience Of
Buckner for one Of less ability anG
no experience would be a folly o
which we do not believe the people O
that district would be guilty.

The Palmyra Spectator, one of the
oldest and most influential Demo-
cratic papers in the State, says. ..
Hon. A. Fl. Buckner has made a
good speech on the subject of an ex-
isting curse in the shape of national
debt. Mr. Buckner is an honor to
the constituency he represents and
fills his position in the national coun'
ellis as statesman. Such he is con
sidered by his peers, and such his

it, and contains a score OF facts ano

FROM the tlarksyille sentinel

We do not pretend 10 say what the
feeling is in other places, but we
meet plenty of Buckncr men in this
section of his district. They fail to
sec why new man should be sent to
Congress on trial every few years,
aud point to the North's success in
Congress as argument in favor of re-
turning Judge Buckner. The ablest
Congressmen the Northern states
ever had are men who have grown
grey in the halls of the capitol. We
don't think there is man in the dis
trict who could or would do better
than Buckner has done. And as fol
supporting any man simply because
he is from Pike county, we think that
is carrying devotion to one's country
too far. The good of the whole
Congressional district and the whole
country should be paramount to de
votien to individuals or particular
locations. a.-3 ,4A .1'% q.

Machine Politicians.

Many years ago-about the time of
the birth of the Tadpole party the
people lost confidence in Col. Hutton,
and now that beautiful creature has
lost confidence in the people. Instead
of going to them with his claims for q
seat in congress he goes to, the ma
chine politicians. Already has he
traded the vote of Autlrain in the ju-
dicial convention, to the machine
politicians of Montgomery, for the
vote of that county in the congress
sionat convention. 1t is said, too,
that Warren county's candidate for
LieutenantGovernor induced the
charming Colonel to withdraw from
the race for that office by promising
him the vote Of Warren county for the
congressional nomination,
These trades have given rise to
several interesting questions:
Do these machine politicians own
the voters CT their respective counties
Can they fulfill their contracts by
delivering the goods?
Who authorized the bewitching
Colonel Hutton to sell the Audrain
county vote in the judicial conven-
ton! ..-..
How do the Democratic voters OF
Audrain like being traded off as SC
many head Of hogs?
How do the people of Warren and
montgomery like ii?
Having sold the vote.of their com.
ty in the congressional convention to
both Biggs and Hutton, which OF
these worthless do the macAinists OF
Montgomery intend to fool2
