SCORED BY THE COURT-

a Repremand by the Oourt

Tuesday evening whon Judge Snyder came down to sign the bill of exception br" ught down by Pettit's attorneys, he caught them in what was either a terrible piece of bungling or a piece of shai'o practice. The bill of exception conta 11 "id an article excepting to apart of the ti dsje's charge whioh was claimed to have been given orally. They claimed he orally instructed the jury as follows: "If you lind the prisoner guily, beyond a reasonable doubt, you will," etc. btop, right there," said the oourt, angrily, "x never used the words, 'beyond a reasonable doubt' at all. I don't know or care where you got it, it is abholutely talse. Those words excepted what you claim were 'instruction' werj merely direction. Strike the 'beyond a reasonable' doubt out and I will sign the bill."

It was done at once. The conversation then drifted on to the subject of the pay of these defenses' attorneys and became yuite interesting. Judge Snyder closing the argument by remarking, "You have no right iu the world to claim pay for more than two Jirms. You very 'vell know that when the appointment of attorneys was made, I said I would appoint us many lirms as you wished, but would only grant pay lor two. To this ycu readily assented, and I now hear that you have had the effrontery to go belore the Tippecanoe courts and claim that as I made no record of that argment it stuuds for nothing. That is wiiere you are sadiy mistake n, gentleman, for 1 shall at once r-uke a jJro tunc record and that will stand as good as if it had been made when I trusted to you when the appointment was made." Both Kumler and Gaylor-l denied taking advantage of the Judge and retired irom the iield confusion.

WHAT THEY THINK.

the Action of the .Late Mike PriceThe angry comment on the action of Mike Price in deposing Geo. Myers, an old Union soldier, from his position as Superintendent of the County Asylum, still goes on and is not confined to the Republican party by any means. Wo append the opinions of a few gathered at rando from among a multitude.

Judge Britton: "Mike kuows whioh way tho wind blows and believes the Republican will not bo in power for a long tirdo, so he changes his party."

Supt. J. S. Zook: "It was an ungrateful act and a dirty trick. I have no use for a man who is a traitor to his party."

Ed Coleman: "Mike is a great statesman, and the only trouble with him is that he is getting a little too old."

H. B. Hulet. "Mike is a worse Democrat to-day than Allen Byers. Byers would never have voted for Goben if ho had not been in such a position that ho had to."

A. F. Ramsey. "Price helped to defeat the whole ticket in tbis county,and now turns traitor."

John L. Goben with his peculiar and characteristic foxy grin remarked: "Mike is a good man, an exceptionally good man, as honest as tho day isloug." (Mr. Goben did not reu.arlc, however, that the day was about the shortest of tho year, and much below tho average length, but he pro':ably meant it.

Judge Davidson: "Mike has gottan himself into a bad box 1 gavo him credit of beiug shrewder than to lose his head iu that manner."

P. S. Kennedy: "Ho always was a two-faced, spiteful old wretch, and it is merely a case the washed hog returning to his wallowing iu the mire."

J. R. Bonnell: "it was the uot of a scoundrel and nothing can Lo said too derogatory of the man."

J. S. Brown: "Theold rasoal need never apply to the Republican party again."

J. J. Insley: "Old Mike bad better get out of the.. Republican party right off. We haven't any use for the dirty our."

W. T. Brush- "Price is an old renegade Democrat anyway, and Republican for revenue only."

A. S. Miller: "It was a contemptable, dirty trick." OLD MIKE SPEAKETH.

Mike Price was taken to tabk this morning on all sides but could give no Jucid explanation for his very shady aot. He tried to excuse himself by saying Myers was no Republican, aud had not worked for him during the campaign. He would say nothing, however, when asked why ho did not bring forward and support another candidate if be was agamsc Myers. He merely rubbed lus hands aud left for the coun try.
