REMARKABLE LIBEL SUIT IN ID

REMARKABLE LIBEL SUIT IN DETROIT.
One Hugh S. Peoples, of Detroit, has
brought curious libel suit against the
Evening News of that city. The circum-
stances are as follows: Some years ago
Peoples had girl named Martha Whitla
in his family as servant, and it was also
reported that she was his mistress. When
she left, Peoples gave her a note for $500.
The girl lived little out of the city and
often visited it. One day in January,
1879, she disappeared and not the slight
est trace of her could be found. 1t was
discovered afterward that she was horribly
murdered by being tied, gagged, put into
a sack and thrown into the river alive.
The body was found the next Spring, but
not until nearly two years later was it
identified from the clothing. linen
strange stories got into circulation, and
the News published an article substan-
TALLY charging Peoples with the murder.
The Post and Tribune and the Abend
Zeitung afterward published similar artl-
cles, and against all of them Peoples
brought libel suits In this trial it de-
wolves upon the News to substantiate its
charges, and the jury has to determine
whether party to a civil suit IS muir
derer or net, and this not by the rule OF
evidence in criminal cases, where the
guilt must be proved beyond reason.
able doubt, but upon the balance OF
probabilities Peoples will fight in the
suit as / his life were at stake.

GRANT g. FITZ JOHN PORTER

General Grant is now in favor of re-
storing General Fitz John Porter to the
United States army from which he was
expelled by court martial for virtual
treacherv and disloyalty during the war
The very sudden and strange change OF
sentiment on the part of General Grant
is causing general comment throughout
the country. At one time Grant was very
free to confess that Porter deserved to be
shot, but within few days In commu-
nication to President Arthur he says he
is now convinced that for nineteen yeas
he has been doing General Porter very
great injustice Perfect maps of the bat
tie field where Porter is accused of acting
falsely to his country, have been recent
" placed before Grant which satisfy him
of Portcr's innocence of the charge OF
treachery. General t. III. Tersay coin
cides with General Grant in the matter,
but many of the old friends Of Gen. Grant
do not propose to follow him into the
Porter camp. Among these may be men
toned Senator John A. Logan, who still
entertains his old feeling that General
Porter proved unfaithful on the held o.
battle and disloyal to his country.

DCDGEC OUNTYJURIES

The Dodge County Citizen and The
Juneau Telephone of last week both con-
tanned articles relative to the selection OF
Jurors for the Circuit Court of that coun-
ty, from both of which it appears that,
not only are Republicans almost entirely
ostracised from any participation III jury
duty, but jurors are elected as reward
for political services rendered to the bosst S
of Democracy of that county and are
placed on the list at the solicitations OF
certain politicians who in that way man.
age to square off their political debts.
This accounts for the fact that the same
persons are year after year. on the juries
and for the further fact that very many
of them fall far short of the standard set
by the law, that they should be men "of
approved Integrity, fair character, of
sound Judgment and well informed"
In this connection it is cited by the pa
pers mentioned a0ove that the Fifth ward
of this city is represented on the jury list
by a man who is out on bail on a charge
of forgery in this county, and that men
have been placed on the jury who were
totally ignorant of what was going on be-
fore them in court.
Many people are of the opinion that
the jury system is a relic of the dark ages
and ought to be abolished, and if the
practices carried out by the Dodge Coun-
ty ring should ever become general, it
will be ne wonder if a majority of the
people coincide in this opinion.

CLOSING EXERCISES OF OAKLAND SCHOOL,
This schol- house is situated about one and a
half miles south of Middlebrook. and was
taught during the winter by Miss Lucy Turk,
an accomplished young lady from Newport.
Va. 1t was closed Friday, March 3lst with q
splendid picnic and entertainment. After the
picnic was over. the school house was dark
ened and the entertainment commenced, which
consisted of tableaux, dialogues, Rotations,
&C., all of which was acted in the very best
manner. The most prominent were: Con
tradiction." a very amusing piece, which was
highly appreciated by the audience, was per-
formed by Miss Mary A. Snyder. Miss Alice I.
Garrison. and M IS Annie 8. Brown; 1.-THE
Englishman and Irish Inn Keeper" was q very
comic and laughable' piece, performed by Mr..
c. Bosserman and Mr.. w. b. Snyder; "What
1 Have Learned" by the little orator, Master
Geo. Weaver, a little eight-year-old boy. was a
surprise to the audience, who did not think the
little fellow could speak with SO much elo-
quence. Many other pieces which have not
time to name. were equally as entertaining.
The tableaux were magnificent. Lost in the
Snow the first, represented a landscape after
snow-storm, with a little girl half covered
With snow lying under a cedar tree. 1.-THE Boy
with Patience" and 1.-THE Fortune Teller" were
amusing. A part of the Middlebrook String
band was present and made splendid music.
After the entertainment, the young men of the
school engaged in game of ball. About sun
set the company broke up, all agreeing that
they had had a good dinner and a pleasant
evening. Miss Lucy Turk is highly appreciat-
ed by the scholars and patrons of the school,
and they all wish her with them the next win
ter. &c
