THE DIsBARMENr CASE.

On Its Way to the Supreme Court.
Harrisburg Patriot.
It sounds odd to say that Judge will be
compelled to employ counsel in his own
defense. The case will excite much inter
est as it involves nice legal point.
Let 1t be Fully Presented.
Philadelphia Evening News
The case of the disbarred attorneys of
Lancaster bids fair to assume considerable
prominence. Able counsel have been Sc
cured to present the cause of the disbarred
lawyers to the attention of the supreme
court, and it is reported that Judge Patter-
son will also be ably represented. This is
proper and right. The full merits of the
case should be brought out, and thus the
precedent established in the final decision
become valuable and binding.
The Contest in tho Upper Court.
Philadelphia Times.
The decision of Judge Patterson disbarr-
ing A. J. Steinman and w. U. Hensel, of
the Lancaster bar, for criticizing the &C
tiOn of the court in the Snyder case through
the editorial columns of the INTELLIGEN-
GER, has been appealed to the supreme
court, and it will be heard at Harrisburg
earlyin May. 1t is announced that Attorney
General Palmer and Samuel II. Reynolds,
of Lancaster, will argue the case in sup
port of the judgment of Judge Patterson,
and that Rufus =. Shapley, James E.
Gowen and A. X. Mcclure will represent
the appellants. The issue involved is one
of supreme moment to both the press
and the bar, and the Judgment of the
court of last resort will be looked
for with unusual interest. Under our pop
ular form Of government it seems to be
n Ifvyf S,,I< %rr L
OF despotic darkness once in a while, to
enable the supreme authority to define
both individual rights and the rights of
the press with unmistakable emphasis, and
the Legislative power has intervened to
nation, after each important trial of the
dicial power. Pennsylvania by the act of
the impeachment of Chief Justice
believed the issue to be settled {; but a gen.
the Austin case. He was reversed by the |
supreme court and the act of1s36 followed,
more clearly defining the power of courts |
TO punish for contempt. Congress followed |
in the same line by the act of 1881, and |
United States judges since then have had |
sense enough to understand that the liberty
If the law means no more the liberty of |
license to judges than to editors. Judge
Patterson has finally gone off ballooning
nto the forgotten despotism of forgotten
avs, but he will probably find the judicial
atmosphere much clearer about him when
le lights again. It may involve some wear
nd tear to his judicial apparatus, but the
'ench, the bar and the press will all profit
" his misfortune.

THIS last escape from the county Jail
seems to be a more flagrant case of care
lsssness even than any of the many
which have preceded it. 1t is plain that
the prisoners cells are not carefully ex-
amined for evidences of attempts to
escape, and equally manifest that the
prison yard is not well watched to pre-
vent them from getting away.

THE opposition to the unit rule be-
comes more and more intense as the
time for the state convention approaches.
1t is a device to stifle fair play, rob the
minority of their rights, to enable dele
gates from one district to misrepresent
the wishes of another. A delegation Of
intelligent Democrats may safely be
trusted to vote together when it is desir.
able and proper and when it is not they
should not be unequally yoked.

EVENING. APRIL "a, 1880.
Reasonable Talk.

Mr.. John c. Jacobs, of New York-a
native of Lancaster county by the way
is man of promise and Of good parts.
He proved himself to be a man of much
force Of character last fall when he re-
fused a gubsrnatorial nomination that
the enthusiasm of the New York Demo-
cratic state convention seemed to force
upon him. That he is trusted and much
respected by Mr.. Tilden's friends is
proved by the fact that he was chosen
both temporary and permanent chair
man of the late regular convention, con-
trolled so largely by them. What he
says on the presidency is of significance
and will be received with weight on all
sides. When he intimates that he will
not allow any personal considerations to
stand in the way of Democratic success,
and that as delegate to Cincinnati mo
vindictive spirit, no feeling arising out of
antagonism on account of local troubles,
shall have particle of influence " in
shaping his course, he talks like repre-
sentative Democrat, good and true. OF
course the Democracy can get along
without any one man better than with
out harmony in its action and wisdom in
its councils. 1t owes respect to all its
great men and obligations for their emf
nent past services, but it depends on no
one of them for its perpetuity and it can
always more safely incur the resentment
of any one than to surrender its powers
and control to any individual dictation
or selfish interest. 1t is in this spirit
that Mr.. Jacobs avows his continued
love and veneration for Mr.. Tilden, and
the respect for him of the New York
Democrats and their belief that he was
defrauded. But they are not willing to
imperil the chances of the national
Democracy with his candidacy. If he
can be elected they are ready to promote
his nomination if he is to he defeated,
for their sake as well as his own, for
their party's and the country's, they do
not want to see the risk incurred.
They are willing to win with him, not
to lose with him. Further, Mr.. Jacobs
says, that he believes Mr.. Tilden is of the
same mind. He does not believe that a
man of his sagacity is going to let him
self be put up for defeat. TO be
sure he does not propose to let his ene-
mics 60 rough shod over him, g to hack
his body and throw it to the hounds"
but when it is manifest that he cannot
he elected his nomination will not he
pressed.
These outspoken views of Mr.. Jacobs,
for himself and his colleagues, will go
far to relieve the country and to better
Mr.. Tilden's position before it, since it
will create the impression that he has
the submissive spirit of every loyal Dem
ocrat, to yield himself for his party's
good. He has great political strength,
he has an organized company of devoted
followers they may be of great service
to the party in guiding it to wise and
unselfish choice of all available candidate.
Mr.. Jacobs indicates that they propose
to do it.; it is gratifying to hear that
they will do it with Mr.. Tilden'S assent
and cooperation.

A Mans Hat Cut from His Head by q LOCO
motive.
Yesterday afternoon John Reist, deaf
man, who is IS years of age, and resides
at Lancaster Junction, was walking on the
railroad track between that place and
Mannheim. On account of his defective
hearing he did not know that there was
a train behind him, and he was struck
by the locomotive and knocked from the
track. In falling his head struck near the
rails and the hat which he wore was cut
off close to his head. The only injuries
be sustained were those which were caused
by the fall.

EAST of the river Jordon there is an Arab
tribe which has embraced the Catholic
faith and is ministered unto by native
Italian priest. These Arabs wander about

Report of the Grand Jury.
The grand jury came into court and pro-
sented the following report
To the Honorable the Judges Of the Court Of
Quarter Sessions Of the Peace in and (or the
County Of Lancaster.
The grand inquest in and for the said
county of Lancaster do respectfully report
that we have acted on 101 bills presented
to us by the district attorney, of which
IS were returned true bills and lG
ignored. AS instructed by the court We
visited the county prison. Notwithstand-
ing we made the visit at an unusual
time and without notice We found
this institution under the management of
Capt. J. P. Weise, in neat and clean con-
dition and apparently well managed We
found here 173 inmates-7O convicts, %
for trial and 43 for drunken and disorder
ly conduct. We ascertained from the
keeper and other officers that the prOvi-
sOns Of the law and rules of the prison
with reference to persons sentenced to sep
arate and solitary confinement are carried
out as near as possible, as are also other
regulations of the institution.
A statement from the clerks Of the
prison show that since January 1, 1880,
493 persons were sent to the prison for
drunken and disorderly conduct BY the
following officers and magistrates A. +.

TIE BEST TINE 70 PLANT TREES.

There is nothing perhaps on which most
of us are more prone TO dogmatize than ON
the subject of tree planting. II we plant
in spring. and the tree dies, we are very
likely 10 attribute the loss to the season.
and decide never to plant in spring again.
Or. five plant in fall and have no sue
cess, then we are quite as decided against
fall planting. There is no doubt but that
fall planting has risks from which the
spring is free. Trees which have not been

stroycd by the dry. cold winds of winter.

one great argument in favor of fall plant

stronger and more vigorous in spring than
one planted at that time rs the bruised

to push out IN the spring almost rs wei
