A D1sGUsTED COURT.

II was in Lumpkin, Stewart county,
Ga, year 49,. Two rich, influential
citizens fell out about q pine table. A
sued out possessory warrant against Is
for it. Employed 4, S. Worrcl', than
whom there is no better lawyer to pros
ccuto his rights.
Defendant engaged Bnrrel X. Harn-
son, eminent for his abilities and keen
wit to defend.
The case was tried before .)nstice--,
who gave Judgment for the plaintiff.
Harrison sued out u writ of ccrtionari.
The Superior Court reversed the deci-
sion, and remanded the for new trial.
At the next trial tho defendant gained.
The plaintiff sued out ccrt'orari' 1t was
sustained and the case returned for
new hearing.
The third trial day came. With it
the parties, backed up by as many bold
supporters rs met tho astonished gaze
of James Fitz James when Bhoderick
Dhu blew his whistle shrill. Considera-
BILE feeling existed on both sides, and
seemed likely to lead to bloody noses
and cracked crowns--as well as law.
Council for plaintiff appeared backed
by numerous law books, which he osten-
tatiously displayed on an impromptu
table. Burrell came in, looked aghast
at the formidable weapons of his antag
onist for u momcnt-only . moment,
and the superintendent love Of mischief
arose in him. Going to his office hard
by, he filed his long arms with law
hooks regardless of their application to
the case, brought them into tho court
house, fixed up u table and spread them
with great gusto upon it before the
court. Returning, the waggish counsel
got wheelbarrow, flied it with books,
hired q negro and babe him roll it to the
courthouse. They were taken in and
piled on the table. Tho barrow and
boy were ordered to the, Office for more,
and when the last load arrived and were
arranged in order with the others, Bur
rcll sat down behind them composedly
to await Developments. The old JUS
tice put on his specks, cast a look o
disgust at him and his books, looked a

had told the dream the morning after
the murder was committed at a distance
of forty miles, when it was absolutely
impossible that the news should have

When the story of the girls disap-
pearance was told over the country at
the end of the next week, the people to
whom tho dream had been repeated
recalled it. Nowadays the matter
would only serve as good material for
the reporters, but the men of those days
still believed that God took an oversight
even of their dreams. Might not this
be hint from him! The Rev. Charles
Wheeler, a Baptist clergyman of Wash

A scheme to extend the CircuIa-
tiou OF fractional silver coin is being
devised in Washington, the treasury
and postotfice departments aud
house committee ON coinage being
engaged in maturing a plan to send
it through the mails. Fractional
silver currency, it has heen observed,
las a tendency to find its way back
INTO the treasury and accumulate
there, causing scarcity for general
circulation aud use. by means OF
the plan suggested, it ia proposed to
authorize the free transmission Of
sums not less than ten dollars nor
more than four pounds in weight, in
registered packages; the applicants
for the coin to pay the registration
fee and be at all risk. while the gov
eminent on itspart does the carrying

ment it is believed that the subsid-

circulation at the money centers, and

table production, although we do
not see how the publishers are going
to secure support for such an expen'
sive concern, enough to make their
investment a profitable one. They
are evidently men of ability and ex-
perience in journalism, yet it is OBJ
vious that their ''eye teeth" are not
vet cut when it comes to publishing
a paper outside of o thickly settled

independent in politics, and is de-
voted exclusively to developing

THE shooting and murder Of Chas.
DeYoung, principal proprietor of the
San Francisco "Chronicle," on Fri
day last, by /. NJ. Kalloch, son OF
Mayor Kalloch, has been generally
and justly pronounced to be the
legitimate fruitage OF the "Chroni'
cle's" disroputable course. Heartily
as we may denounce the act of the
cowardly assassin, and much as we
may deplore the prominence of that
ruffianism in San Francisco, that
could rail and jssr and mock while
the dead body Of even hated indi
vidual was being moved through the
streets, we are compelled to regard
the killing as in some degree mer-
tied. The DsYoungs have all along
acted upon the policy that the pri
vate character OF public man Na
publicproperty. The Kallochs, after
being vindictlvely assailed By the
"Chronicls," retorted by disgusting
and debasing use Of the weapons OF
that paper upon its editors--when a
manly and dignifcd stand would
have given the lie more enphatically
than words could have done, to ali
accusations raised. There can be
but littls doubt that il was case OF
the kettle calling the pot black,egs;
and yet the terrible results already
attained, and those likely still TO fol-
low, ought to be lesson to others,
We have repeatedly been urged to
announce club rates of the "Chron
icle" with the ARGUS, and extend its
circulation with our own, but, unlike
some publishers we might mention,
we prefer 10 choose our company
among the more worthy members Of
the craft. 8sii ySi1 aI9sy. z
