Judge Baxter,s DECISION.

n. Y. TimesI
Judge Baxter, Of Cincinnati, did a
good thing the other day when he
called public attention to the unftness
for the legal profession of many men
who practice in the courts, and to the
great necessity for persons who need
legal advice to be cautious in seeking
and accepting it. The Judges mo-
tive was the plea Of a defendant that
he had acted under the advice Of
counsel. He said that this plea pro-
cured its power from the tenderness of
the law and courts, but the real reason
that 1t is ever accepted is the fact that
there are a great many superficial
lawyers and charlatans in the legal
profession, The bad advice of
such empires, he asserted, is the
source Of half the litigation in the
Courts. There can be no doubt that
Judge Baxter has been pestered by
ignoramuses SO that he eagerly seized
upon the opportunity to denounce
them as a class. Every Judge is an
noyed by them, and all will indorse
every word their Cincinnati compeer
uttered. Doubtless, also, they would
be delighted to have the right TO point
out such p%rofessed lawyers as they
positively know TO be shams, and to
warn the public against taking their
bad advice. If there arc many quacks
and knaves practicing in the Courts Of
Cincinnati, there are certainly many
more in New York, and there is no
prospect that they will ever be wholly
got rid of, A question for care.
full consideration is this: How
shall the number of law quacks
be limited in the future
1t must be conceded that the time
will never como when only the men
thoroughly equipped for the strife in
the forum will obtain diplomas. Some
fortunate shams will be certain to get
them and will afterward pick up
stealthily better livings than their
learned and more modest competitors.

GLOOMY REPORT

From the officers of the steamer
Kate Dickson, which arrived here
from above at II o'clock yesterday, we
learn that there is great uneasiness felt
by the citizens of Greenville in regard
to the rapid rising of the back waterin
tne rear Of that city. A force of some
two hundred mep we're at work Sat.
urday night throwing up levees to pre-
vent the overflow Of the city. Trains
on the Greenville road have been
compelled to stop running, the water
being over the track in many places.
Earnest appeals were coming in from
all directions of the overhowed Sec
ton asking for assistance and skifs to
enable the citizens who reside on the
plantations back to move to places of
safety. From parties who arrived here

that only reached 2 very small portion
OF the country, has ceased running, all
communications are cut of entirely.
Something should be done at once by
the Postofice Department to relieve
the people in this unfortunate section
OF the country. 1t is an impossibility
to prevent the high water, but it is an
easy matter to furnish the citizens
with their former good and reliable
river mail as was done in former years.
Our merchants inform us that letters
that usually arrived from the Yazoo,
Sunfower and T~allahatchie counties

three days, now require from a week
to ten days, and many never reach
their destination by the over

too late to be of any service to the

merchants to bankers whe hold paper

gone to protest in the absence of adj.

merchant up the Yazoo river, that
was mailed on the 9th Of February.

acceptance due here on the LIST. The
paper was protested for nOn-payment
and returned TO st. Louis. The draft

AS for the knayes, they are as likely
to be learned as not, and no legislation
will bar their way into the legal pro-
fession. Legislation should, Therefore,
be directed to keeping out the I'M
learned, because they are such,
and because there is a slrong
probability that they will become
knayes in order to live. A law
should be made fixing inexorably
the period during which students
shall pursue their studies, and which
shall compel every applicant for ad-
mission to the bar to satisfy public
examiners that they are qualified for
the legal profession. Law schools are
undoubtedly good institutions. They
do the work Of education which used
to be done by individual members Of
the bar, for, in the press OF business
nowadays, good lawyers cannot direct
and supervise the studies Of youths.
Under the old system, the tutors, no
matter how eminent they were in the
profession, we're not allowed to certify
that their pupils were properly
grounded in the law, and to direct
that diplomas should be given
them. Then why should the faculties
Of law schools have this privilege? In

There is no intention here to make a
of wrong doing against the
schools. 1t is desired simply to
advance the proposition that a public
prize is worthy of competition, and
that in such a competition the weak

the neighborhood Of Pompeii thirty
human skeletons were found. One OF
them, which was lying at full length,
appeared to be grasping to its breast a
purse, in which were a gold coin Of
Vespasian, six silver and ten bronze
coins, ear drops, pearls and engraved
precious stones. Near the other skel-
etons were found coins of gold and
silver. They belong to the reign of
Galba, Tiberius, Nero and Domitian.
Gold bracelets, ear drops, pearls and
