A YEARS HISTORY.
A Chronology Of the Important Events,
Political and Otherwise, of
1855.
The Calendar Year One of Ccmpara-
tive Peace Throughout the Cir
cult Of the Globe.

The year 1885 has added few political
events of startling nature to the annals of the
worlds history. 1t has been year of peace,
though there have been constant rumors of wars
IN Europe-wars which, had they broken out,
would evidently have assumed gigantic proper
lions and resulted in vast destruction of life and
property. This very fact has no doubs caused
the crowned heads OF the old world to pursue
cautious policy and hesitate long before letting
slip the dogs of war. The only serious disturb
ance of the peace of the world is
the extreme eastern confines of Europe,
and that promises to be settled without
involving any of the great powers in conflict of
arms. France and China have been fighting
each other at long range, infiieting very slight
damage England had O brush with Burmah,
which short, sharp, and decisive" the
Burmese King throwing up the sponge and in
gloriously surrendes.ing to the red coats without
firing gun. Canada's war with the half
breeds and Indians in the Northwest, and the
change of administration at Washington by the
retiring of Republican and the Inauguration of
8 Democratic President constitute the chief
events near home. Below will be found the
record:

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Ahe state Supreme Court on Two Points
of Interest to Lawyers

The State Supreme Court on Two Points
of Interest to Lawyers.
An important decision was rendered
by the state supreme court at Madi.
son, on the 18th, in the case of the
state ex rel S. W. McCastin VS.. Michael
S. Smith. The defendant in error
made complaint in writing under
oath to the municipal judge of the
city OF Eau Claire, charging one Geo
2. Davis with having committed the
crime of larceny. On the examina-
ton the municipal judge discharged
Davis on the ground that the evidence
did not show any offense had been
committed by him, and found further
that the complaint made by Smith was
wllful, malicious and without probable
cause, and entered a Judgment against
nm Tor the costs pursuant to section
4,I9l, revised statutes. An execu-
tlon was issued to enforce this judg-
ment as In actions of tort, and, theex-
ecut1on not being satisfied, Smith was
committed to jail. Smith presented
his petition to a court commissioner
OF the county for q writ of habeas cor
pus and asking to be discharged from
Imprisonment. The commissioner
discharged Smith from custody on the
ground that his Imprisonment was un-
lawful; and the circuit Judge reviewed
the proceedings by certiorari brought
and affirmed the order of the commits
slOner. The cause was brought to the
supreme court by writ of error for O.
review of this decision. The ques-
lions raised are whether a writ of error
lies to review this decision, and as to
the constitutionality of section 4, 791,
which authorizes the municipal Judge
to enter q Judgment against the COM
plainant for all the costs, etc. The
court determines both these questions
In the affirmative, reverses the order
Of the circuit court, and remands the
cause with directions to reverse the
order of the commissioner dischargius

Married Folks Would be HaprleE.

If expenses were proportional to re-

If home troubles were never told to
neighbors.
If they try to be as agreeable as in

If they would try and be a support

If each remembered the other was a

If fuel and provisions were laid in

If men were as thoughtful of their
wives as they were of their sweet
hearts.
If both parties remembered that
they married for the worse as well as
for the better

If there were fewer ''please dar-

such time as they could be incurred

THE POLITICAL. cALpRoN.


AS beitting sequence to The
per capita payment, IN keeping
things from falling flat, or relapsing
into dull rotine, the late political
movements of the country are ex-
cellcnt aids. Times promise to be
unusually lively, and the room in
which TO exercise ones political
powers viii be ample enough for
all the facts that do exist and for
all the falsehoods that may be in
vented. Every politician will have
opportunity for full play of his
inventive genius in manufacturing
history for candidates and in set
ting them up before the people.
Mole-hills will be magniiied into
mountains, mountains reduced to
mole-hills, and in the verdant and
unbroken plains of fair reputation
whole ranges will arise. If a man
wants history, let him become a
candidate for office, and he will
have one in accord to the dignity
of the place to which he aspires.
A characters rs varied as the pieces
in a crazy quilt will be gotten up
expressly for his benefit-sworn to
and subscribed 10 make il fit exactly
With slch conditions as will make
him the meanest man in all the
country. On the other hand his
faults, and his evil and dishonest
deeds will, by political adherents,
be transformed into virtues-the
products of great mind or the
excentlcities of kind heart.
Fools will become sages, the wise
and prudent merge into idiots, and
the honest and upright will become
fit subjects for the gallows or the
dungeon. knowledge and brains
will be in demand after the man
ner of needed commodity; be
claimed and used to the advance
ment Of some ignoramus while the
possessor is content TO lie in
obscur:ty.

on a charge Of disturbing the peace,
while in a state Of intoxication.
The justice fixed his punishment
at s2. 80 and cost, which amounted
in all to 1885. He paid the cost
muted the fine. John
Adams, a Cherokee, was up before
Esq. Miles, Monday, charged with
robbing Simon Cloud, also a
Cherokee, Of s29.75, in this city,
on Monday of last week. The
evidence was all circumstantial
but SO strong that the Squire
thought him guilty, therefore he
goes to Pineville to board with
Mr. Bacon for the next sixty days.
The following is a Webber's
Falls dispatch to the st. Louis
Republican on Saturday last:
Frank Smith, a deputy United
States marshal and member of the
Indian police, called on the
commandant at Fort Gibson for
squad of soldiers Friday night
and went down into the town,
ignored the local authorities, and
closed all the gaming institutions.
People are asking the question who
gives Smith the right to proclaim
martial law in Fort Gibson and
what representation Smith made
to the post commander that a posse
of soldiers was sent to patrol n
peacable town? The Republican
reporter called on the post COM
mander, but could obtain no solu-
ton of the matter"
