a few earnest and courageous men-in the
face OF the most discouragiug opposition

Hagood, the distinguished matrimonial

before the ink on their bail bond was dry

been paid ont OF the scrape by the Atlanta
wife, and that the case of oigamy preferred

fixed for the bail bond, 1000, an amount
which it is thought the Atlanta wife will

So it seems the Monetary Confer

Der. We suppose Congress will be
called in extra session, probably in
October. As things are going, about
the time the demand shall be made
that the Sherman law shall be re-
pealed the crops will be in transit,
and if the country escapes universal
panic and loss it will be one of the
miracles of these modern days.
There is but one ray Of light through
it all, and that is that the Treasury
officials are not springing to the as
sistance of Wall street in this panic;
that they take it that the spectators
in Wall street brought the present
conditions upon themselves and that
the time has passed when the de-
partment can hold up their gambling.

Remarkable Sheep Shearing.

Deputy Sheriff Anderson, who ar
rived yesterday from trip to Para :
disc Hill, tells US of a remarkable
sheep shearing contest which took
place their Saturday. Ten shearers
in the employ of Sutton brothers
sheared that day an even 100 sheep
apiece. An average days work for
an expert is about 70 fieeces, though
some of them IN rare instances clip
as high as 125. Considering that the
sheep sheared by ten men mentioned
were large wethers, the record they
made it probably one that has never
been equaled. Silver State.

ADISREGARDED LAW,

The law which provides for action
in the case of officials who neglect
their duties by reason of intemper-
ance, has for years been dead letter
in the case of the Judge of this Ju-
dicial District,
Of late his deplorable weakness for
liquor has brought humiliation to his
friends and contempt upon his of
fee.
The fact can no longer be evaded
that he is unfit for the grave re-,
sponsibilities of the Bench.
On Monday, with number of i'm
portant cases on the calendar and a
crowd of witnesses and itigants in
attendance, he was too intoxicated
to appear and the usual postpone
ment had to be made and the usual
excuse.
Some of these cases involve large
sums of money and a failure to
transact certain legal business at the
proper time is liable to result in for
fixture of the rights of parties in in
terest, as well as jeopardising the
reputation of lawyers having the liti-
CATION in charge,
The spectacle of the Judge on the
bench utterly disregarding the law
and paying no attention to the rights
of the taxpayers, is one calculated to
bring the law into contempt with
everybody.
This state of affairs has reached
that point where nothing is gained
by concealing the truth, and there is
a feeling on every side that the peo-
pie of the District, who pay $4,000
year for Judge, have the right to
demand one who will keep sober and
attend to his business.
1t is a regret to us that we are
obliged to call public attention to this
matter, as we have enjoyed the per-
sonal friendship of Judge Rising for
nearly twenty years, and none of MS
friends can possibly feel keener
regret at his course than the writer
of this article.
