outs with many of the aspiring DEM
ocrats, and in other respects not in
accord with some Of the Central Com
mittee. This being the case, the VIC
tory is more grand, and leaves him
standing alone, untrammeled by prem
ises to every one; nor to the party ma
chine, and in full possession of the
city government for two years more,
frem which no base tactics OF the
Zach Chambers, the Dorseys nor the
Kelloggs, of the so called decent"
party, will be able to drive him until
the election of 1884 has passed One
of the pleasing features Of the battle
yesterday was the appearance on
tho streets of q large, &ue eagle. a
veritable monarch of the tallest crags.
The noble bird was clothed with all
the pomp of victory. An aerie was
erected on a band wagon, ell draped in
the stars and stripes. On this the bird
of liberty loitily stood and Topped its
enormous wings aud screamed at
times. while the band played lively
airs, and the populace cheered. 1t is
the property Of Mr.. Harrison. But it
is not because of this bird that Mr..
Harrison is called the "eagle orator. "
1t is on account of his style of decla-
nation and elocutiOn when much in-
teIested In debate. While in Con.
gress he earned this sobriquet.
Mr.. Harrison is only 58 years Of
age, and as hale and hearty as most
men at %. He has a commanding
presence, without any of that austerity
which men of educstious wealth and
Office assume. He is a splendid spec
linen of gentleman, and much liked
by his political enemies of prominence
in society; while he is a universal
favorite in the ranks of the Democra-
cy. That he is a good official, it is
only necessary to state that when he
became its Mayor Chicago was nearly
bankrupt and owed its officials several
months salary. Soon it had no in.
debtcdness; had surplus in the treas
ury, and is to day on financial basis
as solid as that of any other prosperous
city Ia the country. NAYR.

The Supreme Court Reforms.

Ehe supreme Court Reforms.
The bill for the relief of the Su-
preme Court docket originated with
the GAINESVILLE bar and was passed
almost without a change. The plan
is thus concisely stated by the To-
bacco Leaf:
The Judges of the Supreme Court
shall appoint three persons, learned in
the law, one from each grand division
of the State, who shall constitute a
board of referees, to whom shall be
referred such causes as the Supreme
Court may deem proper. The referees
shall consider the causes referred to
them, hear argument and make writ
ten report Of their finding, which re-
port shall be filed with the clerk of
Supreme Court, and the attorneys of
record notified, who may, within
thirty days thereafter, file exceptions
to the finding of the referees, and in
their briefs shall specially note and
refer to the pages of the record con-
tanning the proof relied on, aud citing
the authorities in regard to the law.
The causes are then to be heard by
the Supreme Court. How the work
of the judges of the Supreme Court
will be lessened by this operation can
be readily seen. Whereas heretofore
it was necessary for them to hear the
entire record read, listen to all
the proof, and consider aus
thorltles on every point
raised. Now the greatest part of that
work will have been done by the
referees. Every point decided satis-
factory to both sides need not be con
sidered at all by the Supreme Court.
Only the exceptions need be heard. 1t
is well known by those who have con-
sidered the operations of the Chancery
Court, that the greater part of the
work is done before the Chancellor
ever hears the cause. The Clerk and
Master in all cases of accounts makes
bis report in writing and files it.
Either party may except to the report
Of the clerk, and the Chancellor when
he comes to hear and determine the
cause, hears and considers only the
exceptions, Nov if the Chancellor
was required to hear all the proof and
state the account himself, the work of
the Ohancery Court would never be
ended. So under the provisions of
the law referred to, the greater part
of the work will be done by the ref
erees. and at the same time the final
decision Of the cause will be made BY
the Supreme Court, and thus give to
every man his constitutional right to
have his cause heard by the Supreme
Court of the State.

Hon. r. r. Butler, a member Of
the present Legislature, has been in
the city day or two and is cordially
received by the many who know him
irrespective of party. This is his
first visit since 1862, when the Seces-
sion Legislature held It's sessions here
for short time. lie was one of the
members who was politely invited to
attend by the Sergeant-at-Arms in
order to get up aquOrum. Circum-
stances have changed since then. Mr..
Butler hardly recognizes the city, and
expresses q pleasant surprise at the
improvements, growth aud business
activity of the place. He has served
in Congress and has been a member
of nearly every Legislature since the
war, and every time has been the
recognized leader of his party on the
foor. We are pleased to have the
opportunity of saying that Mr.. Butler
has been the stanch friend of Mems
phis of late years and was nearly
always ready to aid in the passage of
reform measures and special legisla,
ton required by our peculiar situa-
ton. Personally Mr.. Butleris a most
genial gentleman, whom it is pleas
ure to know. He has teen hand
somely entertained here by leading
citizens and appears to be enjoying
