iog and protecting home industry, giving
free popular education to the masses of the

OF ballots, effectually protecting all human
rights, and who desire to promote friend
ly feeling ana permanent harmony through
out the land, by securing national govern

piles, are cordially invited to send for each

gressional district, two delegates. The

--Jonesboro Gazette on an extra session
1--WE call upon all frien DIS Of Southern Hi
nols toprotest against an extra session Of
the Legislature, which some zealots are
urging, in order that an appropriation may
be made to rebuild the normal school
at Carlo ldale, which has been partially
destroyed by fire. After many yeart wait
ing and persistent effort the people of ira
duced Egypt have succeeded in securing
three state institutions, the hospital for the
insane, the penitentlary and the normal
school, all located south Of the Ohio &
Mississippi railroad, and are now fixtures.
These institutions will all suffer if this
extra session, which will cost the tax payers
$50, 900 at least, is called, because OF the
bitter feeling it will generate against
Southern Illinois. The people OF Carbon
dale are erecting temporary buildings for
the school, an appropriation for the pay Of
the professors until the next regular session
Of the Legislature has already been made,
and the school can and should continue
with very little convenience, as it
no doubt will. When the Leg
stature meets and the pool IS
made for the appropriations to the various
state institutions, then the Carbonate nor
NAL school, if continued as state iustitu-
tion, can come 10 with Bloomington, Cham
paign, Joliet. Ksnkakee, Pontiac, Anna,
Chester and Jacksonvi lie with reasonable
chance OF success. With an extra session,
and without the help of these localities, the
appropriation would fail, to the injury of
the other institutions which We now have.
We therefore appeal to Gov Hamilton, do
not call together the legislature that was
nearly SIX months in session and accom-
plished very little good to the state. Let
it not be restored to life. There is no
emergency requiring so great calamity as
this would be-"
The Nenninger -Schuler.Lutz case
which is still on trial in the circuit court
here, brings up again the question of the
equity of the law which permits change
OF venue from one county to another with
out making the first county bear the ex-
pense OF trying the case. This case, as also
several Others on the docket now before
the court, belongs properly to Pulaski coun-
ty where it was begun and where the prin-
cipal parties to it reside. II was tried twice
there without q satisfactory result, and
change of venue was taken, the Judge be-
fore whom it was tried sending it to this
county. Here il was also tried twice with
the same results as before, and it is now on
its third trial in this county. At each of
the two previous trials it occupied week
Of the court, time and this time it has oc-
cupied sll this week so far snd-"the end
is not yet" The cost Of the juries and
bsiliffs in the case, which have to be borne
by the people of this county and paid in
sctua, cash out of circuit court fund, foot
up exactly s729. Besides this case, there
are two other cases from foreign counties
on the present law docket-one more from
Pulaski county, The People for use of
Mstz vs.. Robert Wilson, and one from
johnson county, Hoffman & Smith vs.. Jas.
A Vial. The present term, it 10 intended,
shall occupy but four weeks for
jury trials. One Of these is already passed
with the Nsnninger case and it may be
that another will be taken up in the trial
of the other cases named, thus leaving but
hslfths time for home cases requiring q
jury. There is no doubt but that the dock
ct will be cleared with as much dispatch as
may be consistent with strict observance
Of law and equity; but that is not the sues-
ton, the question is, should the people Of
one county be compelled to bear the ex-
