Ohioans May BE Paid Twice.

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 14-It develops that
Colonel Colt and the officers Of the Fourth
Ohio Volunteers were correct in their in
depreciation of the order regarding certain
deductions to be made from the pay of the
men, and a meeting of business men was
held at noon to-day to take some steps to
prevent the carrying out of the order,
which would mean the loss of $3.50 to each
man. Governor Bushnell was present, and
after consultation telegraphed the paymas-
ter general that the State had paid the
amount once, and would rather pay it again
than have it deducted from the pay of the
troops The payment of the troops was
postponed till Monday to permit an adjust
ment of the CONTROVERSY.

QUEER OLD LAWS.
Statutes That Cause Confusion in Dis

washington Special to Chicago Record.
Justice Cox. of the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia, has just completed
codtication of the laws of the District,
which are a curious conglomeration of an
tiquity and modern times. First came the
old common law of England, which was
adapted to colonial times; then the laws of
those sections of the District of Columbia
which were part of those States. respective
ly; then the statutes that from time to time
were enacted by the Legislature of the Dis
trict when we had suffrage here and by the
Municipal Common Council; laws that have
since been enacted by Congress; and finally
regulations adopted by the district commits
soners. AS a result of this state of af-
fairs there is great confusion and contra
diction and the courts have had to be very
arbitrary. Many laws are Intentionally and
others unwittingly violated every day, and
there are some curious customs and regula-
tons regarding proceedings in court which
do not prevail in any other part of the
country. For example. the law provides
that every juror shall be entitled to thirty
pounds of tobacco per diem, and every full
panel shall receive 40 pounds of tobacco
upon giving verdict in any cause, the
same 10 be paid by the party in whose favor
the verdict is rendered.
Tobacco was a recognized standard of
value. and thirty pounds represented very
fair per diem compensation for a juror, even
more than the 81 which he receives to-day,
particularly vixen he got a bonus of ten
pounds at the emo of a trial. This law was
passed in lii5 Some years later II was dis

tage of it to bride the juries. and in 1719 the
law was amended by adding a provision
that any person who should give the MEM
bers of the jury more than thirty pounds
a day should be severely punished.
Along in the course OF time-the old law
yers say about the beginning of the war
when tobacco ceased TO be circulating me-
dunn, it became the practice to pay the
jurors in money and that has continued
until the present day, and so an allowance
of 81 is made them, although under the law
they can claim the tobacco if they prefer it.
This is probably the only case in the coun-
try where the compensation of the jury is
paid by the successful litigant.
Another rule in force in the district is
that the unsuccessful litigant in civil actions
shall pay the fee of the opposing counsel
the sum to be limited to $40, and it is regu-
larry charged up by the clerk Of the court
and is collected by him.

KEEPING GOOD HEART.

Nine. Dreyfus is not one to make dis
play of her grief, but it has smitten her
hard, and all her natural bravery and self
command cannot keep her mouth from
quivering and her tones from faltering
when she tells how the blow literally
stunned her, and how for a long time she
could not actually realize the truth of it all.
And the final interview between husband
and wife! Concerning this Nine. Dreyfus
can only recall the bitter agony they both
endured, and her own imploring appeals TO
her husband to face the trouble and not
sink under it, to trust to her untiring en-
deavOrs to establish his guiltlessness before
the world and restore him to their midst
with unsullied honor.
Nine. Dreyfus cannot speak too strongly
of the absolute honesty and integrity Of
her husband - a man, she asserts, who
would not only never be capable of a mean
action, but who utterly abhOrred underhand
tactics and Shifty intrigue. Neither wealth
nor advancement would have won him from
the path of simple duty; and it is my inn
plicit belief in and knowledge Of all this
which has given me courage to continue
the unequal contest and assures me that
God will eventually completely establish
his innocence. In two or three months
hope to have him with me again, for L am
sure that when all the papers are examined
at the court the truth will come to light
The devoted wife inspires me with her
faith and courage, but / can only grasp her
hand in silent sympathy, ana presently as
sure her that every English woman is feel
ing for her in her great trouble, and each
and all would rejoice to see her own hopes
realized and Captain DreyfuS triumphantly
restored to his family.
