upon Judge Dunham, printed in
the Sullivan Herald. and echoed in
the usual subservient manner by Mr..
Strehy i'm the Gazette, alleging fire.
quent reversals by the Superior

In the list are cases never tried by
Judge Durham. In other eases

preme Court reversed the Superior

Mr.. Scoutcn that Judges of the Com

decisions of both the Superior and
Supreme Courts. In another in
stance four cases are cited, the plain
tiff in each being the same person
AS Il matter of fact. the issue was the
same in all these actions only the
cases had different titles and thus
he makes the one appear as four.
Nojudge ever yet sat upon the
bench, and never will, but that will
occasionally be reversed by the
appellate Courts. Even the Su-
periOr Court occasionally meets with
reversal ut the hands of the Supreme
Court. Yet Mr.. ScOuten would
argue that a judge is Incompetent be-
cause during a term of ten years,
having rendered hundreds or thou
sands Of opinions and decisions, he
has been reversed less than dozen
times.
Will Mr.. Scoutcn please explain

Good advice. truly. Did Mr..
Scouten follow it? His first step
was to take an appeal to the Supreme
Court and that tribunal promptly
affirmed the action of the Court be-
lov. His next step was to start u
newspaper for the avowcd purpos
of running the judge he had 80 dis
gracefully and shamefnlly in-ulled
and abused and of .inlding up to
ridicule and contempt the court he
had SO wrongly and falsely slandered.
Twice was he convicted of criminal
libel for the indecent and outrageous
attacks he made upon the judges of
court. And from the day of his dis
barment until the present time he
has lost no opportunity to villify,
with language as foul and as false as
that used i'm the Court House in 1897,
the reputation Of the living and to
slander and hlacken the memory of
the dead. Is this the sort of manhood
that the citizens ola commonwealth
desire to see at the bar in court of
justice?. How sincere was Mr.
Scouten when he said in his answer,
''The respondent now humbly asks
pardon and an opportunity to tender

A Point to Remember

In planning road improvements il
should not be forgotten that when Il
road is once improved with macadam
or gravel the travel instantly doubles
or trehlcs and the road surface must
be sufficiently strong and durable to
provide not only for the present tra.-
fic on the road. but for the traffic which
the improved highway would bring to
that community.

Opinion of Court below:

Opinion of Court below:
Upon the 25th day Of October last,
The above rule was granted upon John
G. ScOuten, Esq, member of the bar
of Sullivan county, by the Court, upon
its own motion, returnable at the then
next regular term OF the courts OF said
county, which sat upon December -,
1897 The rule and the reasons there
for. which reasons were entered in full
among the records OF the court OF com
mon pleas of said county, were direct
ed to be served upon said John G..
Scouten, Esq. at once, by giving to
him a duly certified copy OF the rule,
the order of court, and the reasons as.
signed by the court for issuing said
rule, which order was fully complied
with on November ), A. d. 1897. =.
In the said order Of court, John G..
Scouten. Esq, was ordered 10 make
formal answer TO the matters contain
ed in the rule and reasons upon which
the rule was granted, on or before De-
cember l3. 1897, at two O'Clock p.
N.
While the matters alleged in the rule
granted upon Mr.. Scouten are said to
have occurred, and did occur, on Octo
ber IA, A. D. 1897, and nothing that oc-
very great materiality to the case, yet
the respondent seeks to i'll some way
excuse or TO certain extent palliate
his conduct by referring to former
meetings of the court at which Hon.
c. KrauS and Hon. John Line. the as
sociate judges. held court and in which
the case of Bush V. Virgins was being
heard. and alleging that it was the un-
derstanding and agreement that at the
next meeting of the court to hear said
case the president was to be present.

that * was the violation of this under

in any way that. even If such were the

facts in the case, known to the court,

Inasmuch rs there are Il large
number of voters in Sullivan County
who have never had an opportunity
of reading the opinion of the Court
of Sullivan County in the matter of
the disbarment of John &. Scouten
and the opinion of the Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania affirming the
action of the Court below in this
matter, we have decided to publish
for the benefit of our readers both
opinions in full, as reported in the
Supreme Court Reports of Pa, Vol.
1876, pages 2T0 $50.
We are ufrther induced to publish
these proceedings from the fact that
there exists in the minds of many of
our citizens much misunderstanding
and misapprehension AS to the real
facts in the case, and also that Mr..
Scouten is urging the disbarment
matter as one of the reasons why
voters should not support Judge
Dunham for reelection. Many
entirely erroneous statements have
been made i'm this matter. We find
in some sections of the county that
voters have been falsely told that Mr.
Scoutcn'S disbarment was made per-
nanent by Judge Dunham's opinion;
in other sections that since the disbar-
ment proceedings Mr.. ScOuten has
made application for re-admission
and has been refused by Judge Dun
ham; in other sections that the Su-
preme Court has never passed upon
the disbarment proceedings or af-
firmed Judge Dunham's opinion in
the matter. In fact any and every
conceivable story has been told that
would tend to miSlcad those who
have not had an opportunity of
knowing the whole truth in the
matter and to deceive the few re-
naming citizens of thi, county who
have not yet been awakened to the
willy, insidious methods and prac-
tees peculiar to the source from
which these false and malicious state
ments emanate.
We invite a most careful reading
of Judge Dunham's opinion in this
case. Not Il single sentence, line or
word can be found therein to indi,
cate the slightest personal feeling
against Mr.. Scouten. On the cou-
trary the opinion is reasonable, lenl-
ent and fair. ] gives into Mr..
Scouten's own hands the keys to his
admission. And in the language
of the Supreme Court, ''more than
that he cannot fairly ask

CAMPBELL BEING
URGED BY FRIENDS
WANT THE BIRMINGHAM LAW
YER TO SUCCEED CONGRESS.
MAN CLAYTON AS ALABAMA
MEMBER OF COMMITTEE.

II now seems evident that determined
hight will be made In the Alabama dele
cation at st. Louis for the election of e.
X. Campbell of Birmingham for member
OF the national democratic executive
committee to succeed Congressman Henry
ID. Clayton who has held the honor for
several years.
Mr.. Clayton was in Birmingham a few
days ago and conferred with several of
his friends here. Later his friends said
they were confident of his reelection. Mr..
Campbell's friends are equally confident
and this is expected to be one of the hard
est contests to come before the Alabama
delegation.
Mr.. Campbell Is out of the city and
could not be consulted regarding his can
didacy yesterday. Efforts were made to
ascertain what had been done by his
friends but most of them were out of the
city several attending the barbecue given
by Capt. ]. M. Falkner at the Mountain
Creek soldiers home.
Mr.. Clayton is already In st. Louis pre-
pairing for the reception of the Alabama
delegates. Being first to meet the in
coming delegates he will probably know
his strength some time before the first
meeting of the delegation which will prob
ably be held at the st. Nicholas hotel in
st. Louis Monday.
