Canning For That Dirty Bird.

Canning For That Dirty Bird.
Pottstown Correspondence of the Norristown
Ledger.
The Owl, filthy sheet supposed to be
printed in Lancaster, with correspondence
from a number of near cities and towns,
has been circulating quite extensively in
Pottstown for several months. It contains
weekly from three .fOurths to column and
a-half of personal paragraphs of which
persons IN this town are the subjects. It
is rare that the full name is given, the
correspondent using initials and mention
ing such circumstances that most readers
know to whom he is referring. The cor
respondent, whoever he is, displays little
or no knowledge of grammar or orthogra-
ply. His name cannot be ascertained,
and it is perhaps we'll for him that such
is the case, for many persons who have
been libeled and slandered by his pen have
sworn vengeance. The most reputable
citizens have been vilified, and indecent
illusions appear to be the wicked
scribe's delight. A few weeks ago D. F.
Graham, esq, was abused by the Osrrs
Pottstown correspondent. On Saturday
q newsboy walked into Mr.. Graliam's
office to sell one of tie papers. The
squire seized the opportunity as we'll as
The bundle Of papers, and told the boy the

things that are His. I say, as did Peter,
Judge ye whether We should obey men
rather than God OF one thing you may
be assured-we shall never recognize for .
moment the attempts of human legislation
to destroy the great sacrament of the
Christian church." It is probable that
the Rev. DR. Beatty's action will be
initiated by other clergymen, and the re-
suit is hard to predict. 1t will be argued
that the state cannot permit the proEibi-
ton law to be openly violated by clergy
men without arousing storm of opposi-
tion from those to whom its enforcement
is > pecun:ary loss and, on the other
hand, that to consign the Rev. DR.. Beatty
to prison and close his church as \
nuisance would place sharp weapons in
the hands of those who want to see the
new law hewn down root and branch.

THE SENATE OFFICES
Malone Names the sergosntat-Arm

Mahone Names the SorG00uG-at-AFmS.
At caucus of the Republican senators
yesterday afternoon, it was decided to
offer a resolution in the Senate to-day pro.
viding for new election of officers OF that
body, and the following candidates were
unanimously agreed upon: For Secre-
tary of the Senate, George Z. Gorham,
of California; Sergeant-at-Arms, Henry
Riddleberger, of Virginia Principal
Executive Clerk, James r. Young,
of Pennsylvania. The following were
selected by ballot For Chief Legisla-
tive Clerk, Charles w. johnson, of Minne-
sofa !; Chaplain, Rev. DR.. Byron Sunder-
land, of Washington City. It will be re-
membered that Mr. Gorham was secretary
of the Senate from 1868 until tho Democrats
gained control of that body, and Messrs.
Young and Sunderland also held for several
years the offices for which they were nomi-
mated yesterday. Mr.. Riddleberger, the
nominee for sergeant-at-arms, is . warm
personal and political friend of Senator
Malone he was colonel in the Confede-
rate army during the war, and il now edi.
tor and proprietor of q weekly Readjuster
newspaper published at Woodstock in
Virginia. Tho Democratic senators
can prevent any change in the
officers OF the Senate by unitedly abstain
ing from voting and thus preventing a
quorum when the resolution comes up, in
accordance with precedent repeatedly set
by the Republicans on various measures
in Congress.

Court PROCEEDINGS.

The tavern license granted to Lewis F.
Weaver, Mt. Joy borough, was transferred
to Moses Gantz,' to take effect from the
time that he removes into the premises.
Jno. B. Erb, of Penn, was appointed
one of the viewers of the proposed road,
in Penn township, near the Mt. Vernon
hotel, vice II. S. Erb, who was proven to
b. relation of the petitioner.
In the case of Lewis Sewers, convicted
Of manslaughter at Mount Joy, there was
a writ of habeas corpus issued for the pur-
pose of having the defendant admitted to
bail, and at that hearing number of Wit
nesses were subp@nacd, whom the county
solicitor could not approve of paying until
the court, under the act Of April, 1868,
had directed the same to be paid. This
morning A. J. Eberly presented a petition
on behalf of those witnesses, and the
court directed that they be paid for their
attendance at that hearing, as the case
was one of great importance.

TnE POLITICAL POr.


boiling Ftercely Only Among tho Candidates
During the early part of the week the
town was full of Republican pirates who
arc candidates for Office. The old polite
ians all say that there is nothing new and
everything is unsettled as yet. No rings
have yet been formed and tho set-ups,
which, are few, are by no means perma-
nent.
In the race for prothonotary Matt Fri
dy.. seems to be on the lead and he is work
ing hard. John D. Skies also wants the
Office, but if he ever expects to get there
he will have to see more Of the boys. He
was not on hand on Monday, as he is prob
ably very busy with tobacco. Abe Set
tley was on hand and was working hard,
but his prospects are not very bright.
DR.. Compton seems to show up well in
the fight for register, and Capt. Umble has
developed considerable strength Of late.
One politician (Only one. however, says that
the captain is the coming man. Ben.
Wissler was working hard ON Monday,
and Kirk Brown was looking around for q
set-up which would include him. He
failed to find it, however.
John H. High aud Jacob Kready were
on hand. Both arc confident and they
were shaking hands with the boys. Abe
Keller was not seen around tho coast or
the court house. He wants to be ON hand
or he may be left.
Squire Grelder, from Mountville, came
up smiling in the contest for treas
urer and he is probably . short dis
tance ahead in the fight as yet. He was
speaking to his old friends and was in the
best Of spirits. Steve Grissinger was in
visible new candidate has announced
himself for this Office. It is Samuel
Bruckhart, of West Hempfeld. He comes
from Squire Greider's township, and is
'squire's chances some.
Spurrier and John X. Smith wero securing
all claim that they will WIN, but the fight
is uncertain as yet.
George Eaby's friends claim that he is
way ahead Of tho others for clerk Of
quarter sessions, while his oppo.
People who are not prejudiced think
he is leading yet. Tobe Hershoy's friends
claim that he is gaining, and that he has
more strength than the INrELL1eEScER
credits him with. Mr.. Hogentogler, OF
has no show as yet. John D. Clinton is al
the same station that he was last week.
He has not been around the county as yet,
but he sees and talks to plenty Of folks at
the depot.
James Collins, Abraham Sunny and S.
NJ. Myers are looking up their chances fol-
county commissioner. Tho former has
been busy mailing up cards Every small
ones) and all are at work. Myers has the
best chance so far.
Coroner Mishler has been busy Of late
in behalf of his reelection, but he has
confined his work to the court house
Peter Honaman is also working but tht
other candidates are quiet. Henry Shu
bert is feeling his way.
| G. Al. Smith is the only man who seems
to be hard at work for the important po.
sition of prison keeper, but candidates viii
be plenty. Why don't Jake Greenawalt
run? He has been in his hole for some
time.

CONTRACTS BETWEEN LAWYERS AM
CLIENTS.

Argument by Attorney. General MscVeagh.
In the carly part of 1877 William E.
Barber, Joseph Hemphill and J. W. NJ.
Newlin, esqs., lawyers of Philadelphia and
West Chester. made . proposition to the
county commissioners of Chester county
that, in consideration of retaining one
half of the amount recovered, they would
prosecute the. claims of Chester county
against the state treasury for the amount
of taxes added by the state revenue board
for the years 1851; and that they
would Day all the costs in the
event of failure, thus securing the county
from all possibility of loss. This PROPOSE
tion the commissioners accepted, and q
formal agreement to that effect was drawn
up between them, as the parties of the
first part, and the three lawyers as the
parties of the second part. The lawyers
then proceeded and got a rebate Of $21 >.
39S. "a for the county, but the commits
sioners refused to give the lawyers Their
fee of $40, ,699.17. The latter then brought
suit against the county on the agreement,
and recovered verdict for the full amount
of their claim, with interest. The commits.
sioncrs, represented by H. T. Fairlamb,
ESQ.,, and Hon. Wayne MacVeagh, brought
the case to the supreme court, where ii
was argued yesterday. Mr.. MacVeagh
opened the case in an eloquent plea for the
denunciation by the court of all such prac-
tices at had been made use of in this case.
He said that he spoke, not from personal
feeling, but to maintain the duty which q
lawyer owed to his client and to the court
whose servant he was. He then denounced
such claim as the one in suit, which he
declared to DO nothing moro or less than
champerty, pure and simple. In regard
to the law on the subject he urged that
the contract could not be enforced for three
reasons First, because it was beyond the
power of the commissioners of the county
to make second, because being for con-
tingent fee for one half of q sum saved, is
SO inordinate as to be against public policy
and incapable of being enforced at law, and
third, because the solicitor Of the commits.
sioners was party to the contract.
David w. Sellers, esq.,, for the defence,
argued in rebuttal Of these points and
urged that the contract having been fairly
executed, the parties thereto not being
Improperly influenced or under duress, it
must stand as their deliberate act, and be
sustained. Mr.. Waddell followed Mr..
Sellers in the same strain, aud Mr.. Fair.
lamb concluded. The case was held under
advisement.

agent or correspondent could have them
by calling. Durin. the forenoon John
Black visited the Office and stated that he
was the owner Of the Orls, and that he
wanted them. Mr.. Graham refused to
deliver them until he was given the cor
respondents name. As this was not
forthcoming he still retains the papers.
Although he may have no legal right to
proceed as he did, society will sustain him
in the course he has taken, and should the
Oael continue to circulate here, other per-
sons will probably follow Mr.. Graham's
example.
