The Oldest Presiding Judge.
Baltimore Day.

Probably the Oldest presiding Judge in the
world is James Garland, of Lynchburg, Vir-
ginia, who, though he reached the age of &C
last Friday, administers justice in the Corpor-
alton, Court. The only other case in recorded
history is that of Sir Thomas More, who 4,
the same age sat on the Kings Bench while
his distinguished son, Garland was born in
Nelson county, and nearly all his long life
has been in the public service. Fifty years
ago, after being in the State Legislature, he en-
tered Congress as a Jackson Democrat. In
1888 he lost his seat, and soon after moved to
Lynchburg, where for II years he prosecuted
all criminals arraigned by the State in the
courts of the city, For IL years past he has
been Judge of the Corporation Court, 4 tribu.
nal Of the highest jurisdiction, which passe,
upon cases Of life and death. Something
more than year ago his eyesight, long since
falling was lost entirely, necessitating the rea
ding by counsel of all papers submitted by
them, and it is remarked that he retains theil
contents perfectly after once hearing them
This, however, is the last year of his Judge
ship. Not feeling disposed to acknowledge
the saving virtues of readjustment or the lea
dership of Malone, the sturdy old Virsiniar
will leave the bench at the end of Decembe,
to make room for one of the latter issue o.
Virginians, who thinks and votes as may, be
most agreeable to his master at Washington

slightly injuring the brain. Drs. Cuffes and
Herff operated on the child, and express the
opinion that he is not fatally injured The

Ravages of Smallpox in.the Indian Coun-

try.
Special telegram to the News.
Little Rock, July 3.-Advices from the In
dian Territory say that smallpox continues to
rage at Okmulgee, and in the surrounding
country. The disease first broke out in the
town last December, and since then thirty
three patients have been under treatment,
some Of whom have died, and others are not
expected to live. In Tuskegee town the pest
has assumed the form of an epidemic, there
being 24o cases in all and thirty deaths. Ar
tusxee town reports some fifty cases, all of
which have proved fatal In the country near
Okmulgee several cases are announced and
three deaths. Special nurses have been en-
ployed and additional physicians. and it is
hoped that the scourge will shortly be control
led. Many appalling reports are coming con-
corning the death and suffe.ings of patients in
isolated localities, where it was impossible to
secure nurses or obtain medical attention.

Perhaps if the government could get up a
reputation for requiring hard work of its de-
partmental employees, salutary effect would
be experienced throughout the country. Since
it became known that the legislative executive
and judicial appropriation bill provided for
!,4oo new clerkships, I4,ooo applications
for positions have been received, and they
come in at the rate of SEQ a day, Sena-
tors and representatives are hesieged to
use their influence for the applicants until life
would become burden tots IN if the enor-
nifty of the situation did not relieve them
from attempting to do anything. 1t is posi-
BILE that there is more difficulty than there has
been in securing employment elsewhere, but
the probability is that the phenomenon is
nothing more than the customary outbreak Of
the disease for government positions. Globe

avail the Irish nothing because divided
and disagreeing among themselves, how
absural, are they not among the best
and foremost citizens of this and
other countries afordlng opportunities and if
divisions have at times occurred in their
rsnks, they are not different in this regard
from other people. Were the English united
when William of Normandy landed on her
shores? Did Harold command the united
forces of the land on the fatal plains Of
Hastings? and was not the unfortunate
Charles Stewart delivered by one faction Of
the English to another to be beheaded? Have
we not heard Of Bruce being hunted through
the Highlands of Scotlands by bands Of his
own countrymen? Were there no Bourbons
in France when Napoleon was battling with
thesAll;ed armies in that country? and were
there no communists there when Mcmahon
was bravely charging the German legions on
he field of Sedan? And when our own i'm
mortal Washington was encamped at Valley
Forge was he not troubled with the providing
tories, who it is said were more against the
patriots even than Britain's hireing Hessian's S?
Talk about divisions; l say away with such
stuff. while the liberties of a people hang
suspended as it were, by a thread over the
fearful chasm of ruin and dipair. If our lead
ers differ on some of the questions at issue, on
the whole they present solid front, and they
will remain there united in the gap until vic
tory is achieved.
But have detained you too long, and
shall now take pleasure in introducing a
gentleman who is at once true representa-
tive of America and her institutions and of
Ireland and her hopes-the Hon. J. H. Nc
Leary.

Important Communication frsm the City
Physician.

SAN ANTONIO, July 4, 1882.
Honorable J. H. French, Mayor:
DEAR SIR-Near the rock quarry station,
along the ditch, opposite the poor house and
Kalteyer's cement factory, there is stagnant
and marshy place, caused from the overflow
OF that ditch. There has been much fever,
and there are now several families in the i'm
mediate vicinity sick with malaria o. swamp
fever, and there is hardly doubt but that the
evaporation OF that swampy pool is one Of the
sources OF this trouble. The same experience
has been made last year, and especially two
years ago, during hot and rainy season, all
along the current of the Salado bottom, as
nearly all families living there had intermt-
tent fever, whilst there were but few fever
cases in our city.
II is therefore Of great importance that the
ditch near the poor house be made in such
condition that overhows and stagnant pools
can not occur, and the food ed place now ex-
listing should be filled up with dry gravel or
rocks, which can be had in abundance
near by.
l would also, again, most respectfully call
the attention of the proper authorities to the
shallow unsantary and dilapitated condition
OF the San Pedro current, and also to the
prlvles in the west part of the city. There
must be an inspector employed for certain
time to investigate the condition of the privics
and premises during the hot season. Some
parties along the San Pedro are very ignorant
in this respect; they only promise to disinfect,
etc. but don't do it-as soon as the police
turns the back.
Very Respectfully, r. MKNGER,
City Physician.
