IMPORTANT LAW DECISION.

The following law decision in an Ok
ford County case, has just been received
by James S. Wright, esq, Clerk of Courts.
The decision is not only important in its
bearing on the present case, but is nota-
bic because it puts a new construction on
the decision as generally interpreted by
notes on the case referred to Isl Me. %
in relation to the sale of two equities IN
der execution:
CHAs. 2. BARTLETT, Judgment for res
in sci. fac, rs. pondent Stearns, for
THOMAS STEARNs. his costs.
REsCRIfT.
A sale by an officer upon execution for
gross sum of all the right in equity
which the judgment debtor has to redeem
certain parcel Of property from two or
more mortgages Is not sale OF two OF
more equities when the several mortgages
cover the same property and no other, and
is not therefore void as the joint sale OF
two or more distinct equities upon execu-
ton would be.
The second clause of the Reporters note
in Smith V. Dow, 81 Maine 81, is not war
ranted by anything in the case or the opin-
ion OF the Court.
The reasons given for holding a sale
on execution Of two or more distinct equi-
ties for gross sum void do not apply to
cases where the several mortgages include
precisely the same real estate and no other
and neither OF them includes any more or
less.
There is nothing in the present case to
show that the creditor did not acquire q
valid title to all his debtors right Of re-
demption in the homestead farm by his
purcase at the sale on execution, and to
that extent his judgment is satisfied.
Judgment for respondent for his costs.

LESSONS FROM THE LATE ELEC-
TON.
The people are honest, and unbiased by
party leaders, will cast their ballots ac-
cording 10 their convictions of right. Par
" leaders viii be followed, so long a they
consult the wishes of the party; but when
they trespass too much upon their preros-
atiyeS, the people rebel. Principles will fin
ally triumph over Policy. Trading princi-
pies for policy, may result in temporary
triumph. but will in the end bring shame
and contempt. The people are sick and
tired OF hearing the cry, OF Capital op-
pressing Labor, when the history OF leg
islation for the past twenty years has been
In favor OF the labor.ng man, and 50 adj
juStiug labor 20 capital, n 10 maintain
their mutual rights. and advantages. They
are Disguised with the cry, "Dowa with
Banks" when We have one OF the best
banking systems in the world absolutely
safe FOR the bill holder, and 80 flexible, as
to meet all the demands of business, and
is attracting the attention OF the whole
civilized world. Putting in nomination
men qualified for the position indicated,
and whose character i guarantee that
they are the N,rcIHis OF the people, not
Masters. The Republicans were fortunate
in selecting a candidate, whose personal
character, and public acts commended him
to the people. Not 4 party triumph, strict
Is speaking, but triumph OF principle
over policy, of truth over mendacity, OF
honesty over corruption.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.-A slight accident
occurred on the Portland & Ogdensburg
Monday. As the IL AZ r. NJ, passenger
train from Portland neared Brownield
station, a freight train had been switched
to siding except the two rear cars. The
brakes were applied to the passenger train,
but the air brake broke. In consequence,
the locomotive struck the two cars, knock
ing them over. The passengers on the
Portland train were somewhat shaken up,
but nobody was hurt.

No MORE TRAMPs.- Occasionally we hear
OF tramp in these days, but there Is no
good excuse for any able bodied man being
idle now. Work is abundant in every de-
partment Of industry and laborers scarce
in many places, so that the thousands OF
foreigners now landing upon our shoes
readily find employment at remuerative
rates. Tramps should not now be tolerat-
ed in any community.-Argus.

GOOD RECOMMENDATION.

The American Bar Association at its
meeting In Saratoga adopted resolution
recommending 4 three years course OF
study In all law schools. the diplomas
granted by schools having 4 thorough
course Of instruction emitting the recipl-
ent 10 admission 10 the bar; also that the
time spent In a chartered law school should
be regarded u equivalent 10 time spent Ia
an attorneys office. The question as TO
the length OF the course 10 be taken by
candidates for the bar is an old one, and
has been the subject Of considerable con-
troversy But there is little doubt that
the general sentiment OF the profession Is
well repre-: ented by these resolutions in
favor OF raising the standards OF sdmis-
sion. A. well a. introducing uniform sys-
tenn
1t would be well for good lawyers as
well as for the people generally if some
such regulations could be adopted. Our
late laws on this subject must have a
beneficial effect Heretofore almost any
blOckhead could stick up his single and
butcher the law" neither to his own
profit nor for the benefit of his few clients.
The only inducement which such half
versed lawyers can offer is cheap fees, but
the client caught by such offers often
finds il the dearest investment he could
have made. A well versed lawyer is a
benefit to the community. He prevents
rather than encourages litigation, and the
client who pays such lawyer good
round fee for advice. saves most in the
long run. A man should be as well pre-
pared to prc,ice law as one should be to
practice medicine, and the law should
protec, the innocent public from impos-
tiers in both professions alike.
