The End Of IL. 8"

The Legislature last Winter decided
that seals on instruments in writing
were a relic of barbarism, or feudal-
ism, which means the same thing, and
decided to put an end to the business.
An Act was therefore passed, and ap
proved by the Governor February Goth
which reads as follows: "The word
Seal and the initial letters Il. S., and
other words, letters or characters OF
like import opposite the name of the
signer OF any instrument in writing,
are hereby declared unnecessary to
give such instrument legal effect, and
any omission to use them by the sign
err OF any instrument shall not be con-
strued to impair the validity OF such
instrument"

LAYITY OF LAW ENFORCE
MENT.

Almost every days mail brings new
cases of murder and startling crime; ;
there is a sickening surfeit of this
kind of news. But what about punish
ment? 1t is only at long intervals
there comes an account of the hanging
of a murderer in the states where
capital punishment is still in force.
What becomes of all the murderers :?
1t is apparent but few receive condign
punishment. If the criminal happens
to belong to what is too commonly
called the higher classes, has infuen-
tial friends or money enough to en-
ploy expert legal talent, in majority
of cases he evades the law by technic-
alities, or easy controllable juries, and
goes free. This is also the case of
those charged with lesser crimes than
murder; large proportion escape the
punishment which the law prescribes
for their offences. So far as the cases
Of punishment to the extent of the
law are reported, it is fair to conclude
there are unconvicted criminals enough
at large to more than double the
number now in the jails, prisons and
penitentiaries. The law was once a
terror to evil-doers, but in these later
times so many evil-doers escape
through the meshes of the law it is
Invested of much of it's teyrors. When
it comes to the pass that prisoner
charged with a grave offence, relies
more OH the skill Of his lawyer to Sc
cure his acquittal than on evidence to
refute the charges against him it
shows the unreliability of the law to
convict. The poor are more liable to
the rigorous enforcement of the law
than the rich, because unable to pay
the expense of an adroit attorney. At
the same time it must be admitted
easier to complain of the inequalities
Of justice and the faxity of law en-.
forcement than to prescribe the prac-
tical remedy. But that there is an
imperative demand for the better en-
forcement of law none can question.

considering plans for the avoidance

the Supervisors have the power to APP

provision of the State constitution
which reads as follows:
"The legislature may confer on

The legislature has conferred on
Boards of Supervisors certain powe rs
enumerated in the Revised Statutes
among which is mentioned the salaries
of county officers. If under the laws
the Board has authority to fix the
salary of sheriff, and require him to
turn over his fees into the county
treasury, it would obyiate what is now
complained of. That is legal point
that requires examination. The tax
payers of the county expect the Board
to exercise whatever legal authority
it possesses to prevent unreasonable
expenses.

THANKSGIVING.

Thursday next, November 10th, will
occur the annual thanksgiving, to
which attention has been called by the
proclamation of the President of the
United States, Governor Rusk, of this
State, and the Governors of most
other states. This observance of a
day of thanksgiving and praise to God
for the mercies of the past dates back
to our early history, and will doubtless
be perpetuated through coming genera
tions. Governor Hamilton, of Illinois
in his thanksgiving proclamation has
made a recommendation worthy OF
all praise, and which should every.
where meet with generous response
He reminds the people that alms-giv.
ing is the best form of thanksgiving
for bounties received, and that lending
to the Lord by giving to the poor is
better than merely formal and empty
praise" Of all the christian virtues
there is none more commendatory
than administering to the wants OF
the poor. 1t is recollected that a
clergyman in this place many years
ago, at the close Of a THANKSGIVING
sermon, remarked in substance as fol.
lows: Brethren, when you surround
your bountifully spread tables to-day
do not forget to pray for the poor
God help the poor, if they must rely
alone upon the prayers of some we'll
fed parishioner. 1t is an idle waste
of words to offer a formal prayer fol-
the poor, and withhold giving for the
relief of the distressed, when there is
the ability to give. It costs no time
or money to express a wish or pray
er that the suffering poor may be
sheltered and fed; that may be all that
many kind-hearted christian people
have the ability to do, and If so that
may be the extent of their duty. But
for those who have an abundance.
there attaches weighty responsibility.
II the recommendation of Governor
Hamilton were faithfully followed.
hundreds of families would be made
happy on thanksgiving day, who other
wise would be obliged to content
themselves with only scanty meals
while their neighbors indulge in
luxurious living. There is too often a
to regard the poor as the
victims of misfortune through their
own fault. While this may be true in
many cases, it by no means applies to
all. But even if it did apply to all, it
would be no excuse for Withholding

There are portions of the South
as full of violence to-day as immedi-
ately following the war. The late cleo
ton in Virginia was carried for the
Bourbon Democracy by the aid of shot
guns and intimidation. Facts are bet
ter than mere assertion. At Danville,
Va, on Saturday before the election,
1880 colored voters were registered; the
number who voted at the election three
days after was only 81; the balance
were kept from the polls by intimida-
ton. At another election precinct
New Design-near Danville, there
were 405 colored voters registered
only one colored man cast his vote for
the Republican ticket on election day.
1t is stated that an attempt will be
made on the meeting of Congress to
have these unlawful proceedings in
vestigated, but it will probably be of no
avail. Investigations of election frauds
in the South have been often attempt.
ed, but the Southern Bourbons, by the
aid of their Northern Democratic allies,
have thrown so many obstacles in the
way that nothing of Importance has
been effected. Elections are but a
mere farce where the freedom of the
ballot is not protected.

Certainly very cleverly constructed
book to contain all this, and 1t is by no
means large one either. Very handy
as to size, beautifully printed upon fine
paper and handsome cover, the Red
Book, as characteristic of all the B. &
0. publications, is exceedingly artistic
and attractive.
OF course it is an advertisement, else
it would not be sent free upon applica-
ton by letter or postal to G. K. Lord.
Baltimore, but SO unobtruStiye is the
advertising matter and so valuable the
mass of information the book contains
that it would undoubtedly sell like hot
cakes if put upon the market. How
ever there is no desire manifested to
sell it all who wish, get the Red Book
by return mail even with the postage
paid upon it. The remarkable COM
plete makeup and perfectly unbiased
presentation of the results in Ohio may
be taken as conclusive that the Red
Book for the coming presidential year
will, in its different editions, be in great
demand. 1t is understood that several
new features in connection with the
information which will be so earnestly
sought after next year are already in
course of preparation, and those who
are down on the mailing lists of the b.
q .. will certainly receive books worth
keeping.
The policy of the B. & O. is to render
its advertising matter so valuable from
the information to which the largest
portion of space is given, that the de-
mand for it will much more than COM
pensate for the largely increased ex-
pense in the preparation and publica-
ton. Large sums have been offered by
outside concerns for advertising space
in the Red Book, but no money can
buy it. The publication is beyond
question the finest and most effective
issued by any railroad company, and
the B. & 0. has no notion of decreas-
ing its value.
Hardly newspaper Office in the
country that does not keep the differ
ent editions of the Red Book always at
hand for reference, while to State
committees and other political organic
ations it has become indispensable.
Praise has unstintedly been bestowed
upon it by Presidents and candidates
for the presidency, Cabinet officers,
Governors and other high dignitaries
and It's indeed the popular political
textbook of the day.

BRISTOL.

Bristol may boast of its numerous
correspondents, and every item Of
news is eagerly snapped up. There is
some of the correspondence that is
very useful to certain class of read
ers. Now how would they know that
it had rained right where they lived if
the correspondent did not record it for
them, or how would they know when
the roads were blocked with snow if
they did not see it in the paper :?
Again, think how necessary it is, after
long rainy time, to be told that the
roads are very muddy. Of course all
these facts must be interesting in a
county paper. But correspondents
should be careful when stating things
that affect moral character. In ordin-
airy items mistakes will occur, and
they do no harm, but when man is
accused Of theft the writer should be
sure he is right before he goes ahead
1 heard that several things were stolen
from Mr.. J. N. Eddy, but heard that
Mr.. Eddy said it was not so. | there

thief was member Of the church, and
Mr.. Eddy was covering up the crime.
/ have again been told by neighbor
that he heard Mr.. Eddy say that he
had not missed any property nor had
he seen any one taking any thing.
Now if Onx does not tell us the name
of this dishonest church member, so
that we can keep an eye on him, we
shall conclude that Onx has walked
long way round the truth. The move
ments of our neighbors, the visitors
from distance, the happy events to
our toWnsmen, coincidence with mis-
fortune, are all good reading in our
county papers; but slurs on persons,
scurrilous remarksl and ill-natured
jokes are not good things. Give us all
the items you can pick up, but whilst
bitter never bite.

The scene of the organization Of the
new Congress is soon to be enacted at
Washington. People will be there to
witness the contest for espeakership;
who will be the "Jay-Eye-See" in the
race can be only vaguely guessed. The
Chicago inter Ocean gives expression as
follows:
The elements which will organize
the approaching House of Representa-
tives are those which organized the
great pro-slavery and free. trade "dem-
ocrat" rebellion of 1861 to 1865. There
is not pins worth of difference be-
tween the past and present political
views of Carlisle and Cox and those of
Jefferson Davis and Robert Toombs,
nor is there any essential differene be-
tween those Of Randall, of Pennsylva-
MIA, and those of Buchanan, Horatio
Seymour, and the remainder of the
tribe of Northern doughfaces who had
neither the valor to fight the rebellious
South nor the courage to contend
against the aroused North.
