and yields better return in proportion
to the money invested. An advertise

In the additional chapters of the Wranar memoirs

given to of his mistresses the celebrated and
beautiful actress Mrs Crouch and the socaed friend
finding her in great need, prevailed her to take
$1,000 for the bond, and returned 10000 to his
master, which the latter pocketed.

other qualification than that of "a bulldog"
persons who would not accept his judgment
upon any other matter under the sun. Con-
ceding the perfect honesty and candor of Gen
eral Grants present judgment, there is to off
set it the deliberate opinion, reached after a
careful and conscientious examination of the
whole case, of such a man as General Jacob D.
Cox, of the late President Garfield, and of
General John A. Logan, whose masterful
presentation of the case in the Senate elected
the warmest commentator of the strongest
friends of General Porter, and defeated the re-
lief bill without further argument. Because
General Grant believes so and 50 is not con-
elusive reason why all people should believe so
and So The value and strength of General
Grants present opinion result from the fact
that, for the first time during more than twenty
eventful years, he is found in harmony with
those who have made themselves the advocates
of General Porter's restoration.

Judgment. The substantial rights of appel
liant could not in any way be affected by it.
The verdict OF the jury would, doubtless have
been the same, whether the sections were read
from the volume or copied by the court and
read to them. | am willing to ex-
tend to accused parties every protection of the
law, and surround them with every presump-
ton of innocence, but do not feel like giving
my consent that this court shall overturn the
verdicts of juries and the judgments of the
lower courts upon technicalities, such as | be-
heve the error complained of in this case to
be, which do not affect substantial rights"
Judge collars has caught the spirit of jus
tice and of the law in this dissenting opinion.
When the trivialities and absurdities of courts
call forth such emphatic condemnations from
associates upon the bench. when bar associa-
tons are discussing everywhere the laxity of
the enforcement of the law, when professional
journals of character and standing are full of
protest against the length to which courts 60

public sentiment, will remain silent The
time is ripe for renaissance of justice and
common sense.

AS ATTORNEY for the defendant in the
Mutt trial, Bir. Voorhees, had the right to
every legitimate mode of appeal and argu-
ment. But it will be questioned by many
whether it was proper for him to declare that
young men situated as was Mutt should have
used shotguns loaded four inches deep instead
such source can but have an evil effect upon
boys and younger men. Better to have en-
ployed some other mode of appeal to the jury,
and not to have melted thoughtless and easily
persuaded youth to deeds of bloodshed that
may not be defended, however much that of
young Mutt may be defended and admired.

THE quarterly examination of the public
schools is now in progress, with the inevita-
BILE accompaniment Of nervous exhaustion to
teachers and pupils. The ostensible object of
these examinations is to find out if the pupils
are fitted for promotion to higher grades, and
their advancement depends upon the ''mark-
ings" given in these reviews. Teachers have
been known to whisper, in strict confidence
their belief that these examinations were de-
vised as means of giving them enough work
to last until midnight of each day and over
Saturday and Sunday. AT all events they are
certainly not necessary in order to determine
the standing of the children. Reviews of
studies are well enough, are indispensable
as means of testing learners prog
ress, but they should occur from day
to day, or at such frequent intervals that
no extra preparation is needed, and 50 much
should not depend upon them. There is no
teacher who deserves the name who cannot
point out at the end of term all of her pupils
who are qualified for promotion, and this with
out the aid of special examinations. The
school system is very elaborate and beauti-
full structure, but it will bear the removal of
some extensive additions" without loss of
usefulness.

THERE can be no question of the perfect
honesty of General Grants present opinion on
the Fitz John Porter case. It can add moth
ing to the weight of an argument on behalf of
the justice of the sentence of the court-martial
to indulge in insinuation and attack upon
General Grant. But the very persons now
leaning upon General Grant, and who throw
into the face of all who dare oppose the restora-
ton of Porter the opinion of the exGeneral
and President, are the very ones who, all

CONTESTED ELECTIONS.

The passage of some law to break up the
business of contesting seats in Congress is an
absolute necessity. The length to which the
matter Of contest has gone is scandal to the
country, and a shame and disgrace to the per-
sons who have engaged in it to such an excess
that it has become regular trade on the part
of adventures and political schemers. Take
the contest in this district as an example, and
it is one of the mildest possible cases. There
is no question-at least, no serious question
that Mr.. Peelle received legal and unques-
toned majority of the legal votes of the dis
trict. That he did not, is a mere incidental
assertion in the contest, the contestant neither
relying upon it, nor introducing a syllable of
evidence to support it that would stand for a
moment in the court of Dogberry But, re-
lying upon partisan majority, the contest has
been brought upon technicality solely-one
that does not affect the justice of the election
in the slightest degree-and based upon the
belief that, whatever the evidence may be, if
there can only be pretext raised, this super
serviceable partisan majority will GUST the
legally-elected representative of the people,
and give the seat TO one whom their votes re-
iected, after a canvass and an election the
thoroughness and fairness of which are not
impeached This is only one instance Of the
abuse of the right of contest. Congressional
records are full of the most fagitious cases,
brought simply because a partisan majority is
relied upon to override the law and evidence
in awarding the seat, or else because,
in case the evidence cannot be overcome, the
same partisan majority will vote a sum of
money for Expenses to the contestant, which
makes the contest a profitable business to the
adventurer who engages in it. This must be
stopped, in the interest of public morals and
of the Importance of the right of popular ma
jorities to our system of majority government.
But we doubt very much whether the pro-
posed bill of Mr.. Townshend will accomplish
this good, if the Geographic outline of its
provisions be correct That measure proposes
to reach the cOntestee and not the contestant.
and it is the latter IL ninety-nine cases out of
a hundred, who is at fault The holder of the
certificate in due form is to be kept off the
roll and deprived of his pay until the question
is decided, if his defeated opponent takes it
into his head to contest. Inasmuch as con-
tests are scarcely ever undertaken except by
candidates of the same political complexion
as the majority of the House, and are, in the
rarest possible number of cases, based upon
anything else than the presumed injustice of
this majority it strikes us that Mr. Towns
hend's bill will have the effect rather to in
crease the difficulty it seeks to lessen and to put
an additional premium upon CONTESTS" on the
part of defeated candidates whose party has
obtained control of the House. A bill that
will prevent the payment of Expenses
will cut off the premium now offered to ad-
venturers-would seem to be more to the

ONE hundred and fifty women were present to
hear the arguments in the Mutt trial. and used
their feminine privilege of saying what they
thought by applauding the lawyers for the de-
tense and kissing the prosecuting attorney. The
emotional nature of these fair beings displayed
itself still further To quote from a report of
the proceeding: when Major Brown began to
speak he at once became the idol of the female
portion Of the audience, and as as possible
they were in tears One woman even went so
far as to sink from her seat upon her knees while
