JUDGE PATTERSON.
Moro Press Compliments For Him.

More Press Compliments For Him.
Spirit OF Berks, Dem.
Two OF the Republican enumerators of
the census in Lancaster were arrested last
week for drunkenness and fighting at the
Republican primary election. The mayor
Of the city sentenced them to thirty
days in Jail; but Patterson, the partisan
judge, who lately s. distinguished " himself
by dismissiug the Democratic editors of the
INTELLIeENCER from the Lancaster bar,
for structures upon his perversion of JUS
tice for party ends, interfered in favor of
his friends and reduced their sentence to
three days. SO these fighting enumerators
got out of Jail in time to begin their official
work on the 1st of June. Hope they won t
90 on drunk again until they have
figured out their census returns in decen-
ter way than the votes of the Republican
primaries were counted.
"a Finer Sense of Decency.'
Mercer Press, Dem.
The mayor of Lancaster committed a
number of roughs to prison for thirty
days for violent and riOtous conduct at the
meeting of Republican judges held week
before last. The mayor witnessed
this bad conduct himself, and
joined his police in making arrests.
Two Of those thus committed
had been appointed census enumerators,
and were considered very useful in manag-
ing elections. Judge Patterson, the same
individual that disgraced himself, the
bench, and his profession, by striking from
the list of attorneys the editors of the In
TELLIGENCER for an editorial criticism of
his judicial acts, granted a habeas corpus
to bring these rioters before him, and
when so brought ordered that they be dis
charged, after three days confinement, so
that they might be able on last Tuesday
to commence the performance of their
duty as census enumerators. In the mean
time, Mr., Snowden, supervisor of that dis
trict, having finer sense of decency than
Judge Patterson, revokes their appoint
ment as enumerators, and, it is hoped, sue
ceeded in putting proper men in their
places. And thus bad judge was foiled
in his efforts to protect rOwdyism.

OregOn'S Election.

In Oregon to-day the first member of
the Forty-seventh Congress will be chosen.
There are three nominations NJ. c.
George, Republican John Whitaker,
Democrat, and James K. Sears, Green
hacker. Whitaker is the present mem
Der, having been elected two years ago by
a vote 16, 744 to 1854 for Republican.
He is the man who made the fastest time
on record across the continent in order to
have hand in the organization of the pre-
sent Congress, the supposition being that
there was combination between the Re-
publicans and Greenbackers to elect the
speaker. The other officers to be elected
in Oregon to-day are three judges, state
printer, county law officials and members
of the Legislature.
