Ihcre are some things about the
negro character" said n southern man
as reported by the Chicago Tribune,
(which you folks can never understand
because You don't see that peculiar
character as closely as we do. First
and foremost, it is next to impossible
to get good continuous service out of
the negro. Whether rs river rousta
bout, farm hand, or general workman
in business employment in the cities
he's naturally a restless creature. One
Atlanta man, who had gone into this
branch thoroughly and compared notes
for many years with people in different
southern states, claimed that about
three holidays week was the usual
quota of the colorcd hand, and he traces
this propensity centuries back to the
heart of Africa, where the savage the
ology for unknown ages has taught,
and in some interior tribes still teaches.
the doctrine of work and rest alternat-
ing by successive days. Hence this
propensity Is all legitimate race hcri-
tage. Ills father had negro from in
terror Africa, big man Of his tribe.
and no caused small panic on the
plantation by inaugurating a revolt
against six days Of labor a week on
religious grounds No matter what his
own necessities or those of his family
may be the average colorcd man to-
day in Dixie, so he says, is good for two
or three days rest in week. Nomat-
ter what the exigcncies OF harvest it's
well-nigh impossible to hold hix, in line
on continuous labor. With the south
practically dependent ON this class of
help it leaves that region under a big
industrial cloud, which nothing but
the introduction of white blood will

The foreclosure of the mortgage
on the Chow Qua ditch was set
tied adversely to the Gaunt estate;
then, under Bowers report the
Smith estate would be entitled to
the money. The amount paid by
Smith was agreed on by Fulton
and Ailshie in the suit to be s16O.
The total sum paid in to Judge
CARRIER under Bowers report was
S269.7O. Under this report Judge
Bowers was discharged as admin
istrator. Judge Bowers dies, and
Mr.. Ailshie comes in and petitions
that ALL be distributed among
the heirs. The Administrator of the
Nathan Smith estate opposed it,
asking for $l60. Judge Scales de-
cided that Smiths estate was en-
title d to the $l6O (what Bowers
and Ailshie says and the heirs the
balance. But having got what he
asked for in the report, Mr.. ALL
SHE now demands ALL for the
heirs. Is this done for the estate,
or for the fees paid by Bowers?
1t frequently happens that the
heirs may and do fight the ad-
ministrator, as in this case, as Mr..
Ailshie is trying to get ALL, when
Bowers and Ailshie both claimed
that the Smith estate is entitled
to a part. The FREE PRESS is
therefore literally correct, both in
spirit and substance, in saying that
Mr.. Ailshie acted as counsel for
opposite sides.
The matter is not one vitality

THE FREE PRESS,

GRANGEvILLE. IDAHO.
FRIDAY. DECEMBER II. 1856

~
EDITOR FREE PREss:-Allow M
to correct some mistakes which an
peared in your last issue. Som,
totally incorrect statements wer,
made in relation to newspaper
comments upon a recent decision
of the Distric Court rev ersing a de
cisiOn of the Probate Court, and
the facts of that decision and fact,
connected Herewith.
1t is wholly untrue that / caus.
cd any of the statements referred
to to be published.
The report of Judge Bower in
the j. j. Gamt estate was ap.
proved by Judge CARRIER some two
years ago, and the question of sus.
tanning or overruling that report
has never been a question before
the court, as you assert, but the
question has been the intcrprcta-
ton and legal effect of that report,
and the appellate court has now
sustained the view 1 took of that
report from the very first. have
no fight whatever against the
court, as your article would i'm
ply; and the fact that one may diff
fer from him in his opinion on a
matter which comes before the
court and succeeds in having him
reversed by higher court is, l
think, no warranty for an attack
from any one.
BY NO means have I been on op-
posite sides in this matter, as
stated in your article. 1 have been
attorney for the estate from the
first; prior to the death of Judge
Bower by authority from him;
since his death by authority from
the heirs. The law makes the
interest Of the administrator and
that of the heirs one and the same.
All the fees which have ever been
paid me by the estate have been
allowed and approved by both the
administrator and the court.
Again you are entirely mistaken
when you say the decision shows
error in only FIVE rulings of the
Probate Court. Now, five errors
were assigned ON the admission of
five different documents in evidence
and the decision says that the
lower court erred in the admis-
sion of each and every one of these.
The following errors are also shown:
Error in overruling and disal-
lowing motion and request to dis
allow contest.
Error in disallowing heirs to in
troduce evidence to show that con-
festant had no rights in the estate.
Error in overriding demurrer.
Error in denying motion to
strike out two paragraphs of OBJ
jections.
Error in denying motion for non
suit.
And others by necessary impli-
such as findings Of court
and Judgment thereon, which was
reversed; also order denying
motion for q new erial.
The records of the Probate and
District courts, which are open
for inspections, show these things.

Whether the articles rejecting
on Judge Scales were inspired by
Mr.. Ailshie or not, the fact re-
mains that the papers containing
the articles were published several
days before the clerk Of the Dis
trfct court or Of the Probate court
received Judge Piper's decision,
and if not inspired by Mr.. Ailshie
himself, they were certainly in
spired by someone very close to
that gentleman who was eognizant
ofthe Facts, and incidently desir-
Gus to make legal aud political
capital against Judge Scales.
AS to the legal aspect of the
case, the report which Mr.. Ailshie
wrote as Judge Bowers attorney
