THE IMPEACHMENT OF JUDGE PEARRE
DEMANDED.-On Wednesday of last week
memorial was presented in the House of Del
egates, asking the Impeachment of Judge
George r. Pearre, of the fourth judicial cir
cult of Maryland. The-memorial charges vi
olations of judicial propriety, disgracefu con
duct on the Bench, willfnl inclination to
pervert justice, and such moral delinquency
rs makes him a scandal to the Bench. Its
specifications are that while Associate Judge
he received pecuniary fees for legal advice and
services in cases before him sat in judgment
in cases in which he was pecuniarily inter
ested; accepted n portion of fee growing
ont of certain litigations in the court over
which he presided; uttered vile, profane and
indecent language on the Bench dictated
county appointments required pledges to
appoint certain persons condition precedent
10 making persons School Commissioners ;
used the consulting room of his court as
place for designation, and scandalous conduct
while he was in attendance upon the
Circuit Court of Washington county.
Judge Peanc has published an elaborate
defence, alleging, among other things, that
his decisions in railroad cases were in accord
ance with those of other judges 1t is man
iiestly improper to PREJUDICE the case, but the
allegations are so well supported that nothing
but full investigation will clear the clarac-
ter of Judge Pearrc from the charges brought
against him.

Mr.. w. Emory Michael, of the firm of Michael e.
Bro, merchants, of Perrymansville, died at his
home in that place, on Sunday night about ten
O'Clock, in the 22d year of his age. During the

the muscles of his leg while practcing for the
purpose Of taking part in the athletic sports at
the county fair. After recovering the use of his
limb he over-exertcd himself again, while at
tending to business, and his sufferings were re-
newed. His condition gradually grew worse
and Oh Wednesday night he began to sink 1t
was decided by his physicians Dr. j. Edwin Mi
chael and DR.. Alan Smith, that the only hope for
his life was in amputating the limb According
ly on Sunday morning the operation was per-
formed by DR.. Michael. He failed to rally
from the shock, however, and died ON Sunday
night.
The deceased was son of the late VIM. Bush
Michael, and upon his fathers death, in 1879,
succeeded with his brother to the business of
the former firm of Michael IL Brother He was
ayoung man of great promise, possessing bust
traits of character. His death, occurring as it
did in the dawn of manhood, and under such
distressing circumstances, has caused a general
feeling of sorrow and regret throughout the en-
tire neighborhood. The intermcnt was at the
Grove Presbyterian Church, on Tuesday

Of the enterprise. On motion of Ed: G. Price,
Vice Presidents, and Nathan Grafton Secretary.
Mr.. Grafton happily opened the meeting por-
traying in graphic language the early history of
the road. He was followed by Hon. Stevenson

dwelling upon the present. and recalling to the
growth of railroad interests, since his boyhood
Mr.. ). q. Boyd responded to the call, in clear
forche argument, giving in detail the statistical
condition, showing that for the $4,000 conditional
and unconditional, subscribed, the company was
enjoying franchises that any railroad company
speaker stated that II was remarkable and unpar-
allelled in the history of any road with which he
was familiar, that the cost of condemnation and
right of way should he SO small and there had
been ample subscribed to meet this, and for the
purposes of grading and masonry. In concu-
spirit would actuate the balance of the subscri-
bers, To the end that had given such substantial
encouragement to the Directors and friends of the
road from the beginning.
We need scarcely say our faith il strong that

Mr.. Franklin Dodge, who writes to the OSwegO
Palladium from Achil, county Mayo. He has
made frequent journeys through the distressed
districts, and speaks of neglected and unm
proved water power, and of thousands of acres
of arabic land and superior peat bogs that are
undeveloped for want of capital and enterprise.
The 5000 inhabitants of the Islsnd of Achl are
in a deplorable condition, and subsisting on
the last of their seed potatoes and rye. They
are covered with rags, and frequently are seen
wearing an old sack with holes cut in it for the

wretched huts, and are mostly idle because the
country is equally poor in money and motive
for work.
