THE sweeping decision of the Illinois
supreme court against the constitution
atty of the probate court of Cook county
has carried dire CONSERVATION to the
thousands who have had dealings of
various degrees of Importance before
that tribunal, thus sum marily nallified.
1t is stated, however, that a movement
will he instituted to secure IA recOnsidera-
tiOn of this opinion. As pointed out 10y
contemporary, it is difficult to perceive
how the court can reverse or alter its
judgment without stultifying itself CON-
pletely, to say nothing of the impairment
of public confidence in the integrity and
honesty of the highest judicial tribunal
of the state. that would be the natural
result of such a proceeding. If the ac-
tion of the supreme court of the United
States in Overruling itself on the legal
tender case be cited rs an example, that
precedent, dissraceful as it was in itself,
will afford no extenuating circumstances
in this projected judicial somersault. a
New York contemporary reminds the
Chicago lawyers who are cherishing the
scheme that when the court at Washing
ton reversed its own decision the person
mel Of the bench had changed, and,
moreover, the opinion overruled had
originally received the concurrence of
but bare majority of the judges. The
contemplated Chicago movement pro.
poses the same judges in the same case
reversing their own unanimous decision
Immediately after it IS rendered. The
situation is one with wide interest and

cradle business of probate character was
done, and several motions were argued.
Among the latter was one by Mr. D. r.

to quash the information in that gentle.
mans case; but the motion was overruled

The speakers took the ground that the
county board had power to relieve the dis
tress of the people, and that they might
draw upon the fund raised By the 80 per cent

that purpose, reimbursing the fund by
future appropriations. In order to Dhow
that the county board has authority to
provide for emergencies, the Benton s md
ard publishes decision rendered by J dye
d. j Baker, in the case of Rendleman vs..
the County of Jackson.
The committee of five appointed in &C.
cordance with the resolutions. set forth the
deplorable condition of things in Franklin
county in the following forcible manner -
Your committee, in view of the absolute
necessity of immediate action on the part of
those who are IN q state of want and desti-
tuition; would beg leave to report that we
find from inquiring, that there are reports
OF great distress in our midst arising from
the lack of the necessaries of life; and
that such distress is not confined to any Sec
ton or locality, but prevails over the entire
county to such an alarming extent that pri-
vate donations are entirely inadequate to
meet the wants and necessities of the peo-
pie In the opinion of your committee the
duty is imperative upon our county author
tiles TO take some action that will be gem
eral in its character and will afford the re-
lief that is necessary owing to the wide
spread disaster occaSioned by the failure Of
crops last season."
The committe reports also that the county
treasury is empty; and concludes by sug-
costing as way out of the difficulty that
"the county commissioners effect loan,
say ten thousand dollars, to be secured by
the county issuing interest bearing county
orders for that amount, which we think, in
view of the present direful emergency they
can lawfully do"
1t appears from all this that the people
of some of our sister counties are in very
bad state so far rs food, raiment and tho
ordinary comforts OF lie are concerned; but
it is to be hoped that their efforts to gain
relief will prove successful. Alexander,
has also suffered considerably because of
the failure of crops, which were,
on an average, not much if
any more than half their former
growth. But Alexander county farmers are
not in want. We have heard of no cases Of
suffering among the tillers Of the soil and
it is not likely that we will. Alexander
countys farmers have been industrious and
frugal, hence they can bear the conse-
quences ola total notification Of seasons
labor without calling upon the general pub
lie for aid.

A DASTARDLY DEED.

On Saturday night the trestle over the
slough on the Wabash, st. Louis and Pa.
cifc railroad, between Cairo and Mound
City, was discovered to be down, rendering
the running of trains into the city by that
route impossible. Investigation showed
that some person or persons had floated an
old, empty barge lengthwise against the
trestle and there scuttled it SO that it sunk.
Owing to the greater height of the Ohio
river than the Mississippi, the water from
the former PUSHES in a very strong current
through the slough toward the latter,
which pressed the sunken barge with such
force against the trestle works that the
latter were showed out Of line about ten
feet and then gave way entirely. Several
sections Of the total length of about seven
ty feet, are down and can not at present be
replaced because of the high and rushing
water. AS a consequence all trains have of
course stopped coming into the city, but
are halted just above the break, where
passengers are met by the ferryboat Three
States and brought down into the city.
There is no clue to the parties who are
guilty of the infamous act.

RELIEF FOR THE PEOPLE.

Within the last few weeks great agita-
ton has been going on in several counties of
southern Illinois with a view to affording
some relief from public source to the
poor farming population Of the counties,
who have suffered such great losses by
reason of the failure of their crops. Mass
meetings have been held in Benton, Frank
lin county, and in Carmi, White county, at
which the questions arising out OF this
emergency have been discussed at great
length by able debators, well posted in law,
and various plans were suggested. AT one
of these meetings held in Benton about a
week ago, Hon. +. M. Youngblood offered
the following resolutions which were
adopted
Resolved, That the chair appoint COM
mittee of five to present to the county board
of commissioners Of this county an applica-
ton in behalf Of the poor of tho county, and
asking said board to adopt means for the
immediate relief Tor that class of our citi-
zens who, by reason Of failure of crops,
are unable to provide themselves with the
nccessaries of life.
Resolved, That the chairman Of this
meeting request the county commissioners
to meet on Saturday next, at one o'clock,
to take action on this matter, and that
there be mass meeting of the citizens OF
this county called to meet in the court
house at the same time, on the same day
to take action upon the same matter.
The following resolution, offered by w
w. Hotcbkiss, was also adopted;
Resolved That the chair appoint com.
mittee Of five to confer with citizens Of
other counties Of southern Illinois, asking
them to cooperate with this county in ask
ing the governor of Illinois to include the
question of relief for southern Illinois in
his call for special session Of the legis.
lature If such call be made.

Very large audiences greeted Mr..
Sherwin at the Methodist and Presbyter-
ian churches last Sunday morning, after
noon and night. Themorning was devoted
in the Methodist church to an interesting
bible reading during which the Professor
had the close attention of the congregation.
In the afternoon the church was crowded
with children and young people, also a
number of older ones, to listen to an address
from the Professor which was full Of matter
appropriate to the occasion and interesting
to all alike. His lecture on "the bible,
and how to interest people in it." delivered
at the Presbyterian church at night drew an
unusually large audience to that church.
A larger audience in fact, than the seats
would accommodate, and chairs were
brought out to meet the want of seats. A
number ofapeople who sought to gain adj
mittance had to turn back because of a
lack of room. Those who had been for
tunate enough 10 gain admittance were not
disappointed for the professors lecture
was up to the expectation Of all. The
professor has resonant voice, pleasant to
the ear and powerful enough to be heard
in all parts of the large room. His articu-
lation is clear End cadences nearly perfect.
| The matter of his lecture was novel and
worthy of remembrance and practical use
| by all bible teachers. He spoke of the
tendency of readers and teachers of bible
lessons to neglect the primary points OF
interest in the bible, such as the number
of books contained in the old and new
testaments; the number Of authors, the
time during which the books were written,
the names of the several books, etc. He
asked JAIL in the audience who knew how
many books composed the old testament
to raise their hands; but not q
hand was raised which forces one
to the conclusion that the Professor was
addressing very--bashful audience. He
then proceeded to give very simple
method Of learning and remembering al.
ways how many books were contained in
the two testaments. He wrote 8 x 0.~27

audience to read 1t off aloud several times
