A Memorial

To the General Assembly of the Stat, of Arkansas:
 Your memorlalists, members oi the bar of the 51h and 12th judicia circuits of the State of Arkansas respectfully represent.
 That under the judicial system O this State, and the arrangement ol the judicial circuits thereof, the Ia- pid accumulation of litigated cases upon the dockets, in many counties convinces us that some change must be speedily effected in order that the courts may accomplish or subssrve the purposes of their organization.
 That, in the opinion of your mem orialists, the failure to determine this great numser of causes results from no inefficiency of the several circuit judges; but rather from the great increase of our population with a proportion increase of business, aa also from the complicated jurisdic- tion now exercised by said courts.
 That longer continuance of the present condition of affairs will not only result in great detriment to saltors and litigants generally, bu. will perpetuate the labors of the Cir. cult Judges, already % enormous as to preclude the enjoyment by them of any respite.
 That BOTH evils cannot be cured by any enlargement of the time allotted for holding court in the sew eral counties, and NEITHER would be materially bettered.
 That the creation of additional judicial circuits might give relief both to the courts and litlgants to some extent, but your memorialists believe the adoption of . different constitutional method preferable.
 That by the establishment of sep arats Chancsry Courts, your memor ialists believe that the greatest good can be sffectuated.
 l. Because it will secure speedy justice to sultors.
 ?. Because it will relieve the cir cult courts of considerable burthen and will enable them to promptly dispose of their criminal and com mon law doekets.
 3. Because with the rapid growth of our commonwealth, and the ad. vance Tn value of property, Chsncery business will increase shortly to an extent which will make the ss- of these courts matter of necessity and not a question of expediency or policy.
 4. That if the cost of justice be in determining the adop tion of this svstem it can be sue cessfully demonstrated that the citi- zen will pay no more for the admin istration of law, than he now does.

 At meeting of the Bar of the 9th and 18th Judicial Circuits, held at Paris, Tn Logan County, Ark. it was resolved on motion, that the memorial be furnished to the Paris Express and the Little Rock ''Daily Gazette" and "Dailv Democrat" with the request that they and all papers in the State pub fish the same.
 And on moticn, it was further re- solved that the Circuit Judges and members of the Bar througout the State, be requested to take action in some appropriate way on the subject matter of said memorial.

THE ROAD OVER THE NOUN
 TAIN.

In q recent number of the Little Rock Democrat we noticed the names of some fifty merchants of the State, all residing south of the Boston mountains, who had lately purchased their supplies in that city, and were the merchants of that city half awake to their own interests, they would have beon able to record . similar number from north of the mountain. A few hundred dollars spent on the Russellvillc road would have done it.

A GLASS or WINE DID IT.

In work by DR.. Matthew Hale
Smith, the following incident is re-
corded: ~ New York house went
down the other day. In answer to
a question how it happened, one of
the firm sad "A glass of wine did
it.' The house did large business
south aud west. 1t employed among
Others n young man of talent aud
,martness. lie was entrusted with
The collection Of heavy sums. He
was as sober as clerks generally are
aud enjoyed the confidence Of his
employers. He was very successful
IA his tour, collected large SUN Of
money, and reached New Orleans on
saturday night on his way home. He
telegraphed his success, and announ.
ced his intention Of leaving on Mon
day morning. Sunday daw aed upon
him: he was alone in a strange city.
Some gcnteelly dressed persons,
apparently gentlemen, made his &C.
quaintsnce, and after general con-
versation invited him to take a glass
of wine. He was accustomed to do
this with his employers, and it would
seem churlish of him to refuse so
courteous request. II he had gone
to church he would have escaped the
temptation. He went with his
new-found companions. He knew
nothing more until Monday. His
money, watch and jewelry were gone
and he found himself bankrupt in
character and penniless He had
been drugged. He telegraphed to
his house. The news mein fin

money carried the house under.

JUVENILE DRINKING IN CHICAGO.
Three years ago it was estimated
that there was in Chicago at least
10000 boys aud girls who were hab.
itual freqenters of the saloons OF
that city, of which there were some
5000. From one quarter to one
third Of the. arrests made were of
persons under 81 years of age, and
the State and Local Ordinance look.
ing to a remedy of such social con
dition vert unexecuted. In conse--
qucnce of this condition of things,
the Chicago Citizens League for the
Suppression of the Sale of Liquors
to Minors was established, and fair
warming Of its, inteptions was given
to liquor sellers. The Society has
been very successful in its opera.

arrested, but Since then there has
been a sensible diminution in the
numbers. Between $50 to 300 liq-
aor sellers have been convicted; 200
have in consequences either aband-
oned their business or removed to
other localities; between 400 and
500 residences have been visited in
the interest of minors found in the
rum shops, and in only two instances
we're the visitors received with any
other expression than those Of graf

have been suppressed. This work

from $4,000 to $4,000 annually, it
is estimated, in the mere matter Of

Of demonstration. When the anato-

Abram Hewitt On GARFIELD.


Mr.. Abram s. Hewitt, Representative in
Congress from New York, in replying to a
foul SANDER uttered by General Garfield,
now the Republican candidate for Presi-
dent, upon Mr.. Tilden, in Congress. Feb
rnary. 1879, remarked: II think, however.
that / can account for this extraordinary
proceeding. During the progress Of this
debate, a gallant soldier, an able lawyer,
who has been Acknowledgement of my
State, and who is a staunch Republican.
General Francis @. Barlow, OF New York.
had given evidence on the lower floor of
this Capitol that the vote Of the State of
Florida had been unjustly counted for Mr..
Hayes; the conclusion being that if it had
been counted for Mr.. Tilden he would have
been occupying the White House instead Of
its present de facto and not de lure tenant.
This evidence must have touched the gen.
tleman from Ohio (Mr. Garfeld) to the
quick; it must have revived the memories
from eight to seven; it must have reminded
how. when the Electoral Bill was pending
in the House for n whole evening he de-
voted himself to proving that the law
creating the Commission was unconstitu-
tional. but that if it should be passed it
would be the duty Of the Commission to
take evidence Of fraud and go behind the
returns. And yet when be was made q
Judge, acting under a law which he had
declared to be unconstitutional and which.
as he had affirmed. required evidence to be
taken, he consented to violate the Consti-
triton and to deny the admission Of the
evidence which was necessary to arrive at
the truth

THE CAPTURE OF COLE.
A Very Pretty Running Raee-Th'
Powers of AN Engineer.
From the Salt Lake Tribune.I

From the Salt Lake Tribune.
The other day a man at Ogden, named
Cole. seduced a girl. He was wanted at
the Junction City and the excitement over
the affair was considerable. Cole in the
meantime lit out, and it was supposed he
had gone north. Conductor Brown, of the
Utah Northern. was vest-d with the pow
ers of a policeman and requested to arrest
the man if he came across him on his line.
On Sunday Brown caught sight of his man
at Logan and placed him under arrest.
He succeeded without trouble in giving
him a seat on his train, and then they
started for Ogden. When they came to a
heavy down grade near Hamilton, Cole
watched his opportunity and leaped from
the car Just when the train began to get
under good Roadway and when he knew
the policeman-conductor could not easily
bring the train to a staud-still. Not being
much of an adept at jumping cars he
rolled around considerably, the train in
the meantime acquiring a splendid speed
and rolling down the heavy gradient at a
lively rate. Brown. however, saw his bird
escape and was not going TO be fooled SO
easily. He, too, made a jump after the
escaping man, and like him he turned q
few elegant somersaults down the bank.
Cole was up first and flying across the
fields. Brown, as soon a. he regained his
feet, followed in quick pursuit, leaving the
engine driver to find out where he had
gone as best he conld. Away they went,
like a couple of the Olympic boys. and
Brown in the meantime emptied his re-
volver on the fngutive, but without effect.
The race continued, but it was for more
than a hundred yards. They ran a full
mile, when Brown overlook his man, and,
capturing him. brought him back to the
train, which had come to a stop when the
situation OF affairs became known. The
party reached Ogden without further
trouble, and Cole now languishes in Jail.

SAN Francisco, July 29.-At the exam
ination of Schroeder, for the killing Of
DR.. Lefevre, at Oakland, this morning,
Rev. Horatio Stebbins, father of Mrs.
Schroeder, was allowed to testify. He said
that Mrs. Schroeder, on the 18th Of June,
confessed to him and her husband that DR..
Lefevre had seduced her, and that GRIM
inal intercourse had continued between
them for two months previous. DR.. Steb-
bins and his son-in-law shortly afterwards
visited Lefevre, when Stebbins taxed him
with the affair, which Lefevre neither af-
frmed nor denied. but was much excited
and trembled visibly. DR.. Stebbins said
he was unarmed at the interview, but had
he had a pistol he would then and there
have killed the seducer and saved his SON
in-law this trial. Stebbins further testi-
fed that since Tune 18th Schroeder had
acted as though out OF his mind. He him
self accompanied his son-in-law ON a trip
through the country to divert him, but did
not succeed.

appearance of a young prostitute named
Mary Fisk, dressed only in her chemise
and that garment stained with blood. A
man named Peter Youman went to the
| house and asked to see the girl. He was
| shown to her room, where she was in bed.
Without a word lie drew a knife and
plunged it into her side and once in her
abdomen. The girl struggled to get away,
and received three more cuts in the hand
and arm, but finally escaped to the street.
The man attempted to follow her but was
arrested. When taken to the Station
house a ~two-ounce vial Of landanum was
taken from his pocket. The only reason
assigned by him for the deed was that the
girl had robbed him.

A word Of Advice TO Democrats


If the Democrats Of San Francisco land
OF the entire Pacific coast. for that natter
do not literally support the San Francisco
Globe, they will miss an opportunity for
which there has been q constant wall going
up for long years. All the morning papers
OF the metropolis, with the exception OF the
Globe, are stalwart Republican organs and
two of the three evening journals are Of
the same stripe. A good morning news
paper to present Democratic principles has
been a standing want in San Francisco. A
mere organ is worthless. A first-class
Democratic newspaper which will be taken
by the people because 1t is q newspaper.
and not for its politics, is what Is needed.
The Globe is struggling to make itself this.
Democrats who desire its success can prac-
tically express that desire by sending in
their subscriptions and advertisements. II
is already plain that men OF brains are
managing the Globe. and, if properly sup
ported, it can do a magnificent and sorely-
needed work for the principles Of Democ-
racy on the Pacific coast.
