Among the members Of the Bar in the

ton expressed at the Intelhgencer's outrs-

Jacob. None could find words too strong
to condemn the assault and express their
confidence in Judge Jacobs impartislity
aud fairness. 1t was pointed out that the
injunction decision was rendered on Sat
urdsy, December Goth. The Inteuig@er
had ample opportunity to discuss the pro-
ceilings and comment upoa their judicial

did not. On Tuesday Judge Jscob

Tgenty-four hours early the same sour
rilous assault wonld have been contempt
of court. Judge Jacob would have naa
the redress allowed him by law, and the
dignity of the court could have been sus-
tanned. The midnight assassin is silent as
long az the Judge holds his official POSI-
ton. but the moment he becomes privete
citizen its columns ere loaded down with
stabs at his judicial character.
A BURNED CHILD BREADS THE FIRE.
1.-THE Inteligencer, one prominent law
yer remarked, "has already had some ex-
perience in contempt of court. 1t looks
like it is trying 10 avoid tim'lar expert
ence, but the course it has taken is alike
despcable and cowardly."

jacob for AN Injunction agsintt this ordl-
nance, before it finally pas'd Couneil,
but he refused 10 grant it II he had
wished 10 act ia a partisan manner, then
would have been the time. The Intelhgen-
Ger claims that Judge Jacob granted the
order without proper elaboration. THIS
is bOthiug more or less than an impudent
falsehOod. The case war argued before
the Court three days. The Republican
COUNSEL had over a day in which TO state
their case, and at the conclusion OF the
argument the Court stated that the law
and Justice in the case were 50 plain that
he felt justified ia Issuing the restraining
order. II it had 80 desired, the Court
could have granted this Injunction with

ment; but instead OF this the

have no doubt that It will bs sustained by
any tribunal that may be called upon to

ANOTHER LIE NAILED.
In rendering his decision Judge JACOB
never said that there might be something
in the point that the Attorney General had
no right to bring the action, yet he passed
it over in favor of the Dsmccrstic plaintiff.
The point was technicaiity at the most,
and if it had been decided 10 favor Of the
defendant il would not rave affected the
case one lot OF little. The Democratic coun-
eel would have amended their bill by

Nhs Baked the Best Bread.

The biggest premium at the Man
chester, Ohio fair, was $45 for the
best losf of salt-sising bread, and it
stirred up big dispute. Nearly
every woman In Adams county and
many from adjoining counties, who
were At all vsrsed in the culinary art,
must have tried for that blue ribbon,
as there were loaves upon loaves pill
ed up. The directors finally pre-
vailed on somo persons to assume the
risk OK tying the ribbon. After the
premium was awarded It was discov-
cred that one of the judges wss re-
lated to the successful exhibitor, and
of course this created discomfort.
New Judges had to be selected, and
the ribbon was tied the second time.
The unsuccessful exhibitors dld not
quiet down, however. They declar-
ed that tho judges didn't know
anything about bread More than
one hundred families are at swords
points. and at least one engagement
has been declared off. Scarcely q
day passes without fghf, and the
whole county IL worked up over the
affair.
