Collins 4 Buchanan have moved
their picture gallery TO Stanford. They
are clever gentlemen and We bespeak
for them liberal patronage. It's true
they only take tin types, but that's the
reason they moved to the "kildee"
town.
MIR. aud Mrs. Howard Hardin and
Master Lewis West, OF Illinois, are visit
ing Mrs. Jennie West. Mr.. Howard
Rice is in Louisville on business. Mr..
John Kirby was in town Sunday. Mrs.
A. II. Rice has returned from visit to

Carson aud Hacker have returned to
. Richmond. Mr.. Will Jennings, OF Paint
Lick, visited his mother Sunday. Mr..
Ira Taylor was here this week. Mrs.
g Lizzie Rice and son, A. j., attended the
. concert at the College Monday.
We have good authority for saying
that Hon. NJ. &. Sauhey is making an ex-
r cellent Judge. His opening court at Dam
y vile has been eminently successful and
y he has shown, not only his knowledge
! Of law, but his ability TO manage his
y courts. There is usually in every cour,
y a set OF losiers, composed OF Smart
I Alexis, who take mp the room intended
? for the members OF the bar, the officer,
OF the law aud ;ne litigants. These self
$ important individuals smoke, talk, rattl,
e newspapers and comment on the bust
:. ness of the court generally. They in
= cude boys, middle-aged and old men
"a many OF whom should know better, N
men ought To grow wiser as they grow
u older. They seem to be prompted sole
- ly by idle curiosity and are never =,
happy as when they are listening to
4 trial in which they have no interes
IL whatever. 1t is said that Judge Ssuhe,
'e has disposed with the services OF pro
d fessiona loafers in his courts. There j
d no office within the gift OF the people o
u as much importance as that OF circui
ID Judge. A president, governor or Senn
~ tor has the constitutional right to max
"a a fool OF himself, and make mistakes
80 His blunders ge morally affect only him
le self, and il he can stand it, the peopl
n can. The decisions of a Judge, howev
IS er, affect the rights OF individuals-th
e, right TO life, liberty and property, an
ne the errors OF the head are visited not up
81 on tie dispenser of justice, but upo
40 those who have sought justice at hi
OF hands. II is therefore OF the utmost i'm
portance that Judge should be possess
ed ola clear head and an honest hear
D with the moral courage to do right r,
to gardless OF consequences; TO take broa
and liberal views of the law instead {
ii giving importance TO technicaltie'
Judge Sauiley will no doubt prove a
y ornament to the bench, as he has to th
Ia bar.
-Ex Senator George +. Edmonds hS
. an article in The Forum upon "PolitiC
a a. Career" He speaks OF an ndividr
a. al devoting devoting himself to the ca
h. reer OF politics in the same way as tina
hs OF farming, trade, manufacture, art, a
ol chitecture, law, medicine, &C., are res
10 pectively taken up as the business {
life, according to the inclination and OF
portunites of different men. 1t is ratt
eel er remarkable that man OF the abilit
,ly of the ex Senator should place the voc.
ch ton of politician upon par with tn
"a. of farming, trade, Manufacture, Law
ID. medicine, &c. The ordinary avocatiou
of life are presumed to be Tor the bette
IN. ment OF society as we'll as for the benef
cd of those who engage in them; but tn
Iys cannot be truthfully said OF the polit
to clan. rhc latter enters upon his pr
on fession with no capital other than pre-
NE sumption and his sole desire is to max
