A Client as an Advocate for His Counsel.

Mr.. HENRY WARD BEECHER wants the
electors of the Second Judicial district to vote
for BENJAMIN +. TRACY, the Republican candi-
date for Justice of the Supreme Court in that
district This wish Is crcditablo to Mr..
BEEcHER. Mr. TRACY was his counsel, and we
like to see man loyal to.the lawyer who has
faithfully represented his interests In court.
But the reasons by which Mr.. BEECHER
seeks to induce voters to support his friend
are weak If Judge Brown is put in," he
says, there will not be n Republican on the
bench" We should like to have him name
the Democrats on the bench in those judicial
districts in which the Republicans happen to
have majority 1t will be time enough for
the Democratic party to be generous in this
respect when the Republicans show a little
of the generosity they are 50 ready to ask
When did n Republican Governor fill judicial
vacancy by appointing n Democrat?
Tho other point which Mr.. BEEcnER makes
is that Brooklyn has more people than the
rural counties, and therefore ought to have
more Judges of the Supreme Court. But
Judge PRATT and Judge CULLEN both live in
Brooklyn, and the additional Judge to be
chosen next year u. the judiciary amendment
to the Consttutionss adopted, will doubtless
also be resident OF that city. Besides, the
Governor has power under the Constitution
to designate any or all OF the three Judges of
the City Court OF Brooklyn to hold circuit
courts and special terms of the Supreme
Court. At any time, therefore, that the
amount OF litigation requires it, Kings coun-
ty can have the services of Ave resident
Judges competent to act as Justices OF tho
Supreme Court, while tho other eight coun-

The alleged lunatics who have been re-
leased recently from asylums by judicial pro-
cesses all tell the same story as to the difficulty
they had in communicating with friends will
ing to aid their release. The timely present.
ment made by the Grand Jury yesterday calls
attention to this outrage upon personal rights.
A more radical evil is also presented as to the
present mode OF commitment. The facility
with which sano men have been incarcerated

led the Grand Jury to suggest the adoption Of
some more careful process Of investigation

The Sham and the Real.

In a lecture the other night, Mrs. JULIA
WARD HOWE spoke disdainfully and with
sorrow of the tendency in our fashionable
society to ape the manners and customs least
creditable to the English aristocracy. She
lamentcd also the ambition and competition
among many OF our fashionable young women
TO find husbands among titled foreigners, no
matter how dssolute
These women she said, have more con-
genality for 1.-THE vapd growing OF the
silliest among the English aristocracy, the
disdainful persillage Of the society French
man, the rudencss of the German than for
"what is best and noblcst among their own
countrymcn." "Our young men, who used
10 stand upon their politencss as a merit"
she added, nov assume as such a rude in
difference which does not belong to them"
"The empty amuscmcnts which, as far as
possible, assimilatc the gentleman to the
groom, the boorish manners of men who
are at home with horses, but not with ladies,
all these features are becoming adopted in
the programme of American high life
There is, no doubt, a strong and growing
disposition in our fashionable society to mi-
tate the English aristocracy as closely as
possible, 1t has been especially SO since the
recent Increase in wealth in the republic.

planted here. Fashionable English amuse-
ments are cultivated, even if they are not
adapted TO our tastes and requirements.

Every one admits that ALLAN CAMPBELL
makes good Comptroller 1t is, perhaps,
the most potent Office in the city Govern
mont, with much more real power to effect
public good and prevent harm than any other.
The Office of Mayor, as compared with that
of Comptroller, is unimportant In fact, in
many respects the Mayor is q mere figure
head, Why, then, should we elect Mr..
CAMPBELL Mayor and remove him from q
post where he can do great public service to
post where he can effect but little good, and
to which, for all We yet know, he may be
quite Untitled?
Leave Mr. CAMPBELL where he is for the

elect Mr. EDISON Mayor and the result will
be that we shall be sure OF having both q

MASON CITY, Ill, December 49,
This unusually quiet little city is fast
gaining ground in the sensation line.
During the last three weeks two elope
ments have been reported, and it now
appears that some half a dozen or
more young ladies'. most of whom ere
members OF the High School, have
been in the habit Of writing notes Of
not altogether lady like character to
some Ct the young men attending the
same school, one # whom is boarding
with the pastor Of the leading church
here, who accidentally discovered
some OF the notes in his young mans
possession and feeling it his duty, as
some of the girls are members of his
church, he Immediately commenced
an investigation Of the affair. and in
connection with others OF the clergy
succeeded in stirring up a great de /
OF feeling, not only among the parents
OF the parties concerned, but also citi
zens In general, as it is known that
names OF innocent girls are mixed up
and used in connection with the
guilty.
1t is rumored that the ministers ex-
amined and cross.examined the girls in
the recitation room at the sehoolhouse
in a manner that would be worthy OF a
lawyer in a sensation case. The pa
rents are much displeased that out.
slders should thus take it upon item
selves to interview their children upon
this subject, and that the interview
should be carried On in a manner
bahtting the convent and confessional.
The problem that the people are trying
to solve is whether the girls are guilty
OF a more serious misdemeanor than
the writing Of improper notes and
running the streets at night. 1t is
alleged that several mothers called
upon the minister in possession Of the
notes, who read them to the ladies' but
refused to say what names were signed
There is some talk, add it is not al ali
improbable, that the case will vet
reach the courtroom, as it is said that
