RELIABLE pEejuRses.
An Iog.nIoas Form of I,iicknaau carried
out with Their Help.


In spending Of men who earn their
living by swearing false oaths, one of
their number SAYS: IA reliable per
iurer is a valuable man. There are
several brokendow lawyers, who,
shut out from the courts, make IL part
of their business 70 keep In contact
with men who, for a consideration.
viii swear to a lie whenever required
The names Of these people they place
on the.r books. and whenever a dis
honest litirator in want OF witness
applies to them they are ready TO sup
plv the demand within bali an hour.
ri For instance. take swindlcr who
is in want OF money. II Ia quite easy
for him at night time To fcign to have
been knocked down by . carriage or
ca b, and then TO sue Tor damages. To
make his case thoroughly strong he
can even take his false witnesses with
him, so that they may put in an sp-
pearance when the nau.e of the driver
Is taken. The result Of the over,
whelming presence of witness gener-
ally Is that the case Is settled out OF
court.
I'm this manner any number oi
blackmailing cases are got mp which
never come into court on account OF
tho defcnsciess position OF the victim
The blaclsmailcr, with his accomplices
merely pays his victim n visit, during
which they make definite charge,
and the usual result is they retire
with the money they asked for in
/ their pockets.
They seldom go into the box, for
| their evidence, as rule, is 40 com
plete' that the opposing side gives
way. II is quite easy 10 get hold OF a
man who is willing to swear to an
ordinary lie for 81, while, as for alb
witnesses, they can be obtained IN
almost any saloon for the price OF a
fcw drinks.
/ Some false witnesses. however, Rre
| paid very high sums. A friend oi
/ mine abroad was once offered s25O By
a party II he would swear to a certain
thing; the next day he was Offered
$500 by the opposing side, who, o
course had no iica Lhlt he had already
been approached.

Our New Jud9e-

1t may be an act of temerity
for the HERALD TO make any
suggestion in reference to the
new appointment, and if we do
so we do it in the subjunctive
mood. We do not assume TO
know the sentiments of the new
Judge, but if he is a man of strong
state rights tendencies, and ii he
has an aversion to fundamental
principles, and want of devo-
ton to the constitutional safe
guards of our institutions, as is
suggested, his nomination as
Judge of the supreme Court OF
the United States NAV be an act
of political shrewdness on the
part of the President, but in
times like these in which the chiei
danger of the country is in a de-
Darture from sound ConStitu-
tional limitations, it will be un-
fortunate indeed for the people OF
this country, and may be a pollt-
