Oar Oosur1s OF Appeal.

1t is an immntable law of the course
of human events that under certain
conditions it is better that some things
should be left ont. All Of which seems
to be more and more fully demon
strated from day to day, as the real
working of this NCourt Of Appeal
business is brought out. And now,
something has come to the surface in
connection herewith, which discloses
that, as an Institution Of law and JUS
tice, this new aedgeling Of our judi
ciary has grown to a dignity and ma
turity of Significance that suggests
serious consideration, and has become
Of the things that should be left out.
The following, from the States Of the
26th inst, should be read carefully,
and we think should recommend this
subject TO the careful attention Of our
Lawmakers: "The Courts Of Appeal
and Circuit Courts might as well be
abolished. There are six of these
courts, and each has final Jurisdiction.
This is likely to middle the law ulti-
mately, by reason Of varying decision
upon the same points, and already we
have heard Of instances where the de-
cision of the Circnit Court has not
conformed to that of the Supreme
Court on a like question. The Su-
preme Court was overwhelmed with
work, bnt that time has gone by,
owing more, we believe, to the indus
try Of its justices, than to the exist
ence Of the Circuit and Appeal Courts.
These courts are an expensive luxury,
and if we can dispense with them it
would be well to do So"
The States, when mentioning the
antagonistic decisions of the Circuit
Conrts to those Of the Supreme Court,
could, we think, have said also that
these Circnit Court decisions do not
even agree with each other.

LAST Sunday, May 25th, quite a
furry was oceasioned in military cir
cles in the city of New Orleans, owing
TO an order having been received by
Gen. Glynn to hold his command in
readiness for marching orders to pro-
coed to New Iberia in case there
should be any trouble between the
Fontelieu and Gates factions. Itseems
the orders were misinterpreted, and
instead of awaiting marching orders
the troops were hnrriedly placed on
the cars and started for the objective
point, but Gov. McEpery having been
Notified by wire of the move, imme-
diately connterinanded the order and
ordered the troops to retnrn to the
city, having been notified by the citi-
zens Of New Iberia that peace had
been restored. The order issued from
Baton Ronge was misconstrned, and
hence the report that the Governor
had ordered troops to proceed to New
Iberia.

TIIDEE, with some good Western
man for the second place, says the
New York Herald, sis a ticket to
which there could be but little OBJ
lection. Several other Democrats
would, in our opinion, be preferable,
and one Of these is Mr.. Bayard; but
we see no ground for protest against
the popular boom for the old ticket.
Mr.. Tilden's age is not fact against
him. Theirs was President OF France
at greater age, and successful one,
too, though he had to be handled by
his attendants with as much care as
is required tor Mr.. Tilden, and was
put to bed two or three times a day
to husband his failing strength. If
Mr. TIden should be elected and
should live through his term he would
be good President. If hedied while
in Office he would be succeeded by
one designated with particular refer
ence TO that contingency, and the
policy of the party would be safe.o

Grand Army Notes.

A Grand Army Post was organized at
Palmyra, this State, on Saturday, Feb
ruary 10th, by Post Commander Gear,
assisted by Col. G. w. Bird, of jefferson
A. R. Mcdonald Post held a rousing
campfire at Mazomanie on the 18th
inst, and during the exercises the la
dies presented the Post with a beautiful
and costly banner. Eight of the COM
rades of the Post, living at Black Earth,
presented the Post with brass-shell
snare drum. Department Commander
Phil. Cheek was present, and jovial
time was had.
III. A. Tatar Post gave dance at their
hall in Reedsburg, on February 22nd.
j. c. Moore Post, No. II, has been
moved from Avoca to Muscoda. This
makes five posts in Grant County.
The Montfort boys are talking up
Grand Amy Post. That is right; they
are good thing to have in any commu-
nifty.
The Grand Army of the Republic has
increased its membership by ten thou
sand new members in Illinois the past
year.
The members of Robert Chivas Post,
No. 2, G.. A R., are rapidly completing
arrangements for the dedication of their
new hall The main floor of the build
ing has been entirely renovated, and
when completed will be model audito-
rum. The dedicatory ceremonies will
be unusually elaborate. The address
will be delivered by Gen. Z. S. Bragg.
Gov. Rusk and Gen. Fairchild are ex-
pected to be present, and will probably
address the assemblage. The opening
ceremonies have been fixed for March
9th, and it is believed that all will be in
readiness by that time.
At meeting of the E. B. Wolcott
Post, G. A. r., held on Tuesday eve
ming last, the subject of giving three sci
opticon entertainments was discussed
at some length. but no final decision
was reached A committee, however,
was appointed to ascertain the advisa-
bility of the project, and, if it was
deemed best to hold the entertainments,
to make the necessary preparations.
The G. A. r. members of Kilbourn
City have purchased the old city hall In
that place, and intend to convert it into
Post room. They will also devote
portion of it as public hall, to be used
for meetings and entertainments of all
kinds, and thus make it a source of rev.
enue to the Post. The original cost of
the building was over $4,000, and the g.
A. r., secured it for 1896.
The basket picnic and dance given by
the G. A. r. Post of Belleyille, Dane
county. on Thursday evening, was at
