The conflict between Judge End
Itch and Judge Ermentrout was re-
newed Monday when the latter hand
ed down an opinion in answer to
Judge Endlich's last decision concern
ing jury drawing. Judge Ermentrout
among other things said:
"The spectacle of judges ventila-
ting their supposed personal grievan-
ces before the public is neither pleas
ing nor conducive to the interests of
justice.
My former opinion vindicated the
practice of the court and its judges
past and present. 1t indicated the
honesty and integrity of both the Sc
lection of the jurors and the Jurors
selected. Whatever legal questions
are raised of record will eventually be
disposed of without regard to crimina-
tion or recrimination.
"Good sense and a proper regard
for the dignity Of the bench require
that this controversy shall cease, and
l propose, so far as l am concerned.

The Supreme Court has recently
rendered another decision on the
fence law, called for in the case of
Barber against Mensch, sent up from
Union county, in reference to the
fence law now in force in Pennsylva
MA. The opinion was delivered by
Judge Dean and the following points
were sustained 81. Since the pass
age of the Act of April 4, 1880. re,
pealing the Act of 1900, no man is
required to fence against his neghbor's
cattle, but every person is legally
bound to restrain his own cattle. 2.
The Act of March II, IS4a, provides
a mode for ascertaining and fixing the
liability for the cost of a devision
fence between adjoining owners but
the absence of a fence, or an insult
hclent fence, is no defense to an action
tor trespess against the owner of the
trespasslng cattle. 3. He who would
pasture his fields must make the di-
vision fence If that is necessary to
keep his cattle off his neighbor's field.
he may then have recourse to the
ACT OF r94s to recover a proportion.
ate part OF the cost of the fence. a..
barber made half of division
renee. Mensch refused to make the
otner halt. Held, that Mensch is
liable at common law in trespass for
the damage done by his cattle on
Barber's land"

filed his application at Washington
for the position of Surveyor of the
Port. If man merits reward for his
service to the party, then there should
be no hesitancy in making this ap-
pointment. Mr.. Meek, has shown
that he is a misnomer, for with his
editorial quill he has pressed hard
upon the common enemy, and with
his widely circulated influential paper
has given valuable aid in every con
flict, whether confronted by mighty
host or with the assurance of success
He has always been found in the har-
