A NEW CODE IN A FINE OLD STATE.

A new code is evidently on its feet in
Kentucky. A lawyer named Corneilson,
who differed with one of the Judges of
Superior Court, proceeded recently to So
berly cowhide the Court. 1t made no diff
ference whatever that a sort of sacred at
mosphere is supposed to envelop the Judge,
nor that both he and the LAWYER sat under
the droppings of the same sanctuary, and
communed at the same sacramental table.
Judge Reid did not trim his decision to
suit the ideas of the bar member, and As a
consequence had to take his little logging
This is gratifying indication of progress
The public approval of the chiyalrous con-
duct of the lawyer is evidence of the re-
spect in which the new code of practice is
held in Kentucky 1t is decidedly advan-
tageous for clients, but bad for the prac-
ticc of lawyers not favored by nature with
fine physical powers. Hereafter, at least
in the Bourbon State, the litigant
who wishes to be assured of success
before the Courts will look, not to the
legal attainments but to the muscular de-
yelopment and physical proves of his law
yer, and retain attorneys accordingly.
This will simplify procedure, and do
much to reform the laws delays and I'M
certainties. There is only one drawback
to the perfect success Of the new system
the "other fellow may engage a more
muscular lawyer and then, too, it may be
that the bench of Kentucky will, accord
ing TO the same code of ethics, undertake
to affirm its own decisions by putting up
It's "mawleys" Indeed, it is possible that
some of the Judges may feel it a duty, in
order to maintain the dignity of the bench
and give character and force to their judg-
ments, to put Il knife or two below the
short ribs of the new style of practition-
ers. We suggest to Mr.. John /. Sullivan
that here is a fine opportunity for men of
his school. As lnocker-out of judges he
might attain eminent success at the Ken
lucky bar, and command a Bourbon client
age of most enviable proftableness. Mr.
Corneilson's conduct is, the Nation sug-
gests precisely in line with the high plane
of practice that Mr.. Buford, litigant of
Kentucky, inaugurated not long since,
when he felt obliged to murder one of the
Judges of the Kentucky Court of Appeals
The Kentucky system, it will thus be seen,
is eminently progressive, and will speedily
work out for the bench of that fine old
State the highest evolutionary possibilities
of the doctrine of the survival of the
fittest. 1t does not become Us, perhaps, to
draw any differences as to the relation be-
tween the development Of the new system
of practice in Kentucky and the fact that
that State will stand high on the list
among those to draw most heavily upon
the Federal educational fund for the sup
preston of illiteracv

CIVIL WRoNGS.-It seems that if lady
dismiSses a servant in Columbus she is
made to feel the effects of combination
that is formed against her Offend negro
woman and she exerts every means to keep
You from hiring other servants. We know
a lady who has incurred the spite of sew
eral bad negroes, and although she is i'll
and in great need of servants she cannot
hire help for love nor money. Another
one of our most estimable ladies, owing to
similar circumstances, could get no wash
ing done for three months. Negroes are
so credulous they believe any story of their
races telling, and sometimes leave good
homes because of the talk" of other
darkies. This combination of negro women
against the housekeepers here should be
dealt with Allowed TO grow, 1t will give
us serious trouble. OF course, We would
not interfere with their freedom, but We
can stop their tongues,-[Columbus (Miss.)

THE Grass Valley Union, referring to the prop
ositon of anti-railroad fanatics to establish uni
formity of rates says: That this would prove
injuriously unfair to shipper or producer at a
long distance from tide-water or market should
be plain to the dullest comprehension as any
one understanding the simplest rules of arith-
metic must see that a uniform rate per mile
must have the effect of limiting the area from
which wheat and other agricultural products,
lumber, wood coal, ores and other like freghts
could be transported and yet leave a profit to
the producer when a market was reached"

A WIRE-FENCE TELEGRAPH,-On the
Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway, ex-
periments were recently made to see
whether a barbed wire-fence on either side
of the line could be used for telegraphing
through. The line was run under the sur
face at level crossings to make the line
continuous, and trials were made which
showed that telegraphing could be done
through the fence but in wet weather We
shoald imagine the insulation would be

motion: That the House considers that the

the openly object of their leaders is
to sever that connection, is dangerous to
