Violent.

Corrosive subimate is the usual form
of mercury given for blood and skin di-
scases, and it is one of the most active
and violent polsons. A case is on record
of the death of a child from the effects of
corrosive sublImatc sprinkied on an excor
lated surface. Taken in small doses for
a length of time. it gradually settles in the
tissues and bones producing mercureal
rheumatism and other diseases equally
as painful. Persons who have been poison
ed in this way, or who suffer from blood
complaint or skin humor, should by all
means take course of Swift's Specific,
which is the only vegetable preparation
which will eliminate this poison from the
system. Send for copy of Treatise on

Judge MoOre,s Charge ut LOckhart.

Wecopy below Judge Moore's charge
to the grand jury of Caldwell Co.
As will BIO seen he talks well and to
tho point. But will anything more
come of it We fear not.
Your jail has been forced open at
midnight by masked men, a prisoner
confined therein charged with the
murder of Mr.. Ussery taken out and
shot to death. What language can
describe the horrors Of this deed I
mn glad to know have learned no
utteranco or expression capable of
expressing my resentment at this
crime. Language is indeed bank
rupt! If you call cool, deliberate,
secret assassination murder, what will
all good men say of the depth of that
infamy which, impelled by personal
rage, seizes prisoner i'll irons,allows
him no trial, calls no witnesses,
ascertains no facts, and the facts of
his defense being in serious dispute,
kills him.
This great tragedy is quickly
followed by the horrible death of an
innocent and unoffending man, Mr..
Rodgers. His brains crushed out,
bars ofiron fastened to him and sunk
into the river. Such deeds cannot
remain II secret; the very earth did
cry out against the first murder, when
there were no human eyes 10 see it,
no human tongues to tell it; and 50
the river of San Marcos, against the
laws Of nature, raised this dead, and
the murdered man tells YOU u woeful
story.
Is there any connection between
the two great crinesi
Gentlemen. if your whole time
should be given TO finding out one Of
these murderers. and the treasury Of
your country enptied by the ex-
pense, do not hesitate 20 meet thus
issue.
Local magistrates say they cannot
discover IL; that witnesses are alarmed
aud their lives IN danger. But,
gentlemen, you vii find that in tins,
IS in Allother cases Of great criminals
they Will be harmless and mute with
fear before the power Of the law.

IL the light Of the fearful scene

In the light Of the fearful scenes
rencently enacted in Cincinnati, tho
following from the Century Magazine
for April affords good food FOL
thought;
The small number OF murdererf
hrngod by tho Sherfffs, and the
greater number hanged by tho mobs'
should DO evidence enough that the
administration OF our criminal courts
in many quarters is fatally detective,
and needs reforming. Tho only
classes of persons Interested in
maintaining the present state OF
things arc the criminals and the
criminal lawyers and it is not for
their exclusive benefit that society Is
organized. Tho contrast between
the swift, firm and sure methods OF
English and Continental courts in
dealing with great criminals, and the
tardy, feeble and abortive methods
of our own, should sting our national
pride TO some energetic measures OF
reform. The people must rouse
themselves to demand more vigor-
GUS enforcement Of the laws, and they
must see TO it that Judges and
prosecuting attorneys are chosen who
have the ability and the will to bring
oyil.doers TO Justice. The Judges on
the bench may well inquire whether
tho protection Of the criminal has not
assumed disproportionato Importance
in our criminal procedure. II, in our
fear lest one innocent man should
suffer, tho law itself, which is tho
only protection of innocent men,
becomes utterly paralyzed, then there
is a call for revision of our methods
and our maxims, and the infusion Of
u new spirit into our laws. Every
Judge who will brush aside the hair
splitting devices OF the lawyers, and
insist that criminal trials shall be
conducted with rigor and dircctness
of purpose, will deserve, and will be
likely to win, the approval OF his
fellow citizens"
A fearful responsibility indeedrcsts
upon judges in cases Of this kind
They represent the majesty of the
law and the best interests OF society,
and arc expected to hold themselves
superior to the base influences which
too often control lawyers and jurors.
They should hold the lawyers level,
and disregard or rebuke their
knavish devices in the way OF uncalled
for continuances etc, to save notorious
criminals from deserved punishment.
Action in this direction rather than
fine speeches in the way of charges
to Grand Juries, etc. is what's especi
ally wanted of judges at this timo.
There must be something very rotten
when our judges and criminal lawyers
ore themselves threatened with the
vengeance of mobs for their utter
failure to administer legal punishment
to murderers and other criminals. 1t
is time for them to pause and mako
new reckoning as to their future
course.
