repeatedly called the attention of our read
ers to the alarming increase in this branch
of our service, aud have published, year by
year, detailed and tabuated statements of
the cost of our courts, and have shown its
increase, verified by figures from the state
auditors office. 1t is idle to say that this
increase comes from our criminal docket
solely. 1t arises in the civil docket as well,
and perhaps more noticeably.
Precisely how much of this evil may be
laid at the doors of our already crowded bar
is uncertain. 1t is tolerably reasonable, how
ever, to suppose that when some of our brief
less barristers do get a good client they are
not anxious to surrender him, as long at
least as he can be " worked up into fight
ing mood" We have heretofore noticed the
admirable and economical workings of the
German courts of Cancellation or arbitration,
whose decision is final in civil cause up to
a sum much larger than in our Justice courts.
This fact alone tends to the selection of the
best procurable officers for their positions,
and in nine cases out of ten more even JUS
tice is secured than after a case has been
through all the courts which our present sys-
tenn necessitates. We shall have more to say
on this subject hereafter. But we do desire
to emphasize the fact that our court expen-
SEES are very largely increasing-in civil as
well as criminal cases-and we do know that
the system which will simplify and econo-
mize these outgoes will be hailed by our
people with great joy.

An EXCITING lNTERvIEw.-A cores
pondent of the Utica Herald reports ex-
Governor Hoffman as saying that one day
near the close of his term he was sitting in
the executive chamber when a strange man
entered, unannounced, and unceremoniously
seated himself. In a moment he extended
his hand, in the palm of which lay a some
what battered musket ball. Governor"
said he, that musket ball killed my brother
in the streets of New York. 1t was fred by
one of the militia, who were acting by vir-
tue of your orders. | regarded you as my
brothers murderer, and over his dead body
swore that | would take the same bullet
that killed him and with it kill you.
have many times started to make good my
vow, but each time deferred it. For certain
reasons have made up my mind to let you
live; but want you to know that you owe
your life to me, and continue to live entirely
by my sutferance." The man then quietly
arose, picked up his hat, and unconcernedly
walked away. The governor, this writer
says, admitted that the episode startled him !;
but when asked by prominent Democratic
senator what he would do again in an emer-
gency similar to that of July, 1871, he
promptly replied, " | would do precisely as
| did before"

A WAsHINGToS correspondent relates
that he saw three-horse power engine with
less than ten pounds of coal and gallon
and half of water, run at three hundred
revolutions per minute After the fire was
put out the machine ran one hour. The
material used to generate the propelling
power is bsulphate of carbon. 1t is claimed
for it that an engine of sufficient capacity to
work off fifty thousand copies of news
paper can be run by this new motive power,
without an engineer, at an expense OF less
than 81 per day.

ately filed by another colored man, for, if
colored men are deemed good enough to

soldier. And when his place is filled, then

The Old Leayen.

The colored jubilee singers, from Fisk
University, Nashville, Tennessee who have
been received with such marked favor not
only by the people of New England, without
distinction of party, but also by the crowned
heads Of Europe, were lately in Louisville,
Kentucky. While there they were invited
to take part in the centennial celebration at
Nashville, the city where they live, and de
cided at some sacrifice Of other engage
ments to do so. They therefore bought rail
road tickets to Nashville, but found that
they would not be allowed to take first class
car at Louisville but must ride in smok-
ing car. At their concert at Louisville the
audience were informed of this difficulty,
and were told that the Jubilee company felt
that their self respect would not allow them
to go to Nashville on such conditions. This
little sample of snobbishness gets proper
and terse notice from the Louisville Com
me,cial, which says, editorially awe can
tell the members of this troupe how they can
ride to Nashville in first class cars, though
we do not like to. There is not the slightest
objection to their presence in such cars as
individuals If the ladies of the troupe will
hire themselves as nurses or waiting maids
to some one of the superior native class, and
the gentlemen get situations as porters, they
can go through without any trouble. The
obstacle in their way now is sentimental
objection on the part OF the train boys and
some of the other railway officials to allow
ing niger to pay his or her own money for
his or her own ride in frst-class car. If a
different white person pays the money for
each one the sentimental objection vanishes.' y

may have dropped on this at the last
by accident, or they may have pur-
poscly resereed it. The impression
was sought to be made that General
Hancock would interfere with the
present tariff if elected and an appeal
was made to all the manufacturers and
those dependent upon them to avert
the calamity that might be
brought about by voting the republi-
can ticket. This had a powerful
effect, aud we. see the result. The
people were tired of the bloody shirt
fraud always trotted out before an
election, and we're ready to jump at
any other plausible campaign idea,
The whole strength of the republican
party was concentrated upon these
two states, but when the Noyem
Der election comes they will have
to make fight in every state, and the
democrats will have a better chance
to meet them upon equal terms. The
conditions will be made favor
able for the democrats on the second
of November. General Hancock is
stronger than his party, whilst in In,
diana. at least, it seems that the dem
ocrats made some unfortun
ate nominations. The re-
suit is a serious disappointment,
but it will not demoralize or disband
the democrats in any state. They
have seen darker days and yet remain
ed true to their principles. These re.
verses increase the necessity for ear
nestness and hearty cooperation all
over the union. A party that polled
4,2S4,757 votes in 1876, or a quarter of
amillion more than Hayes, is not to
be dispersed or cast down because the
party in power with all the power and
machinery Of organization, money and
government influence at its back,
managed to carry two pivotal states,
as they are called. The democratic
party will close up its ranks and con
tinue the battle for constitutional gov
eminent and an honest administration
Of public affairs until the victory is
won, whether that is in 1880, "a, 'S9,
'92, '96 or 1900 The time will come

WE are once more and finally as
sured the bottom has dropped out of
the Wilson or boiling movement. This
is very remarkable, when we were in
formed Officially that it never had
any bottom that it was an orphan OF
doubtful pateTnity,a a cross between re-
pudiation and communism and as un-
deserving as it was friendless. And
still they permit Judge Wright to 60
on failing it to pieces every day and
tearing it to tatters All the big men
who initiate Judge Wright rip it open
and scatter it to the four winds in
season and out Of season, and still
it seems that until a day or two
ago, precise date not ascertained, the
thing had bottom. OF course the
sides, ends and tops, if il ever had
any, were smashed into smithereens
early in the canvass. When Judge
Wright abandoned his regular APP
pointments, tbs boilers movement
barely had bottom left, and now that
has dropped, leaving the valiant
patriots who have been hlmmoring
away at it so vigorously, with nothing
do do. 1t must be quite relief tc
them to get rid Of that tough anC
troublesome bottom. The orator,
and organs can now turn their atien
tiou to the payment of the state debt
dollar for dollar.

COLONEL Tom Hamilton is spread
ing himself to beat Casey Young for
congress. He is very popular with
the colored republicans, and will poll
almost the entire strength Of the party
in the district. His race means bust
ness, and we warn the democrats now,
little as they think of it,
that Casey Young has no walk
over the track, The idea that there
are two republican candidates in the
Geld has lulled the democrats into a
state of iancied security Mr.. Moore
is candidate for the glory and noto-
riety of the business, and he has no
more chance of election than Colonel
Edwards, the greenbaok candi-
date for governor. Of course
he will stay on the track
but he is not really in the race and
will not poll a larger vote than the
Plow Boy Harris. Hamilton is next
in the race to Colonel Young, and is
making quiet but vigorous canvass.

wake up andgo to work.
