JL GREAT QUASH ER QUASHED.

[From Ist page.]

“In this connection I submit a few words for the legal profession, and invoke the attention and judgment of lawyers here and everywhere. Is it true that a person who attempts to vote illegally—that is, attempts to vote ‘at a place where he may not lawfully be entitled to a vote, or ‘attempts to vote without having a lawful right to vote’ —ir not guiltv of a crime under sec. 5,511? Judge Woxls answei s no. I say, yes. To prove myself right I invite attention o secs. 2,022, 2,023, 5,514 and incidentally 5,512 Read these sections and see who is right. Let it be borne in mind that these sections are all t?ken from original acts of May 31, 1870, and Jheb. ' 8, 1871. Let it be borne in mind that the latter act is, in part, amendatory of and m part supplemental ’ to the first act, and that they must, therefore, be constru *d together. In this connection it will add force io see how the original phraseology stood in the original sections, before changed for the purpose of codification. Hoc. 2,022 commands the marshal and his deputies at the polls, among other things, to ‘prevent fraudulent voting,’ and to arrest any person who . ommits or attempts or offers to commit any of the acts or offeuses prohibited herein’ (in the original ‘prohibited bv this act or the act hereby amended,’which act contains 5,511) or who ‘commits any offense against the laws of the Unit d States,’ if the offense is committed thejpresence of the marshal or his deputies. Sec. 2,023 commands that when an arrest is made the person arrested shall be carried before a U. 8. commissioner or judge or eourt ‘far examination of the offense alleged against’ the person arrested. Can there be any doubt that under the provisions of this law a marshal and his deputies are commanded to arrest anyone whom they might see attempting to vote illegally, or attempting to bribe oters, and also commanded to carry the person so arrested before a court or officer to be dealt with on a charge of an ‘offense alleged against’ him?Q If Judge

Woods ia right in hi« construction, no charg\ could be made for an attempt tmyote illegally, cr for an attempt to bribe, notwithstanding illegal voting and bribery are both cranes denounced by sec. 5,511, and command is to arrest fcr any ‘attempt’ or offer to commit these or any other offenses denounced by the statute. Sec. 5,514 declares what ‘shall be sufficient prima-facia evidence to convict any person charged with offering to vote unlawfully. But, according to the ruling of Judge Woods, no s ich charge cm be made. Is he right in this ruling? Is it not perfectly clear that an attempt to vote, illegally, at an election for a representative in congress is a crime under sec. 5,511? ould the judge again instruct that it was not? If it be admitted that such attempt to vote is a crime, as it must be admitted, then ‘an attepmt to bribe’ must also be a crime. Both depend upon the same language in the same section, and for like reason advising bribery’ is a crime.” “To knowingly attempt to vote illegally,’ ‘to attempt to bnbo voters’ and ‘to advise bribery of voters’ are all morally wrcner. Each ought to have bem made a crime if it has not been done. In his first instructions to the fraud jury Judge Woods decided that the first two acts were made crimes, bu the third was not made a crime. This, as he says he reserved for further investigation, and in his second instructions he decided, after further investigation, that the third also was r o crime; If caution had moved in -another line it would have been better. If he had reserved the first two •propositions for further investigation it woald have been better. It wonld have been better if his caution had been led by a desire to bring moral -offenders to punishment, to see to it that no guilty man should escape. Better to have been thus cautious than to have been so cautious lest lomo person or persons guilty of groat moral wrong might possibly be indicted toehnioally ineorrect. There is no wrong in caution in such matters. But caution in two direeticus would have been well. In three controverted questions of law the judge fol’ on the side of wrong-doers in each case. Caution! Caution!!— Caution!ll And by departing from the law as laid down by himself in the oase of the United States vs Nr Bosley, and following the decision* of cour s whose decisions were not - ■ trolling authority to govern hi? ■■| duct, he has quashed more <. hundred fndietmniits.

RHEUMATISM o NEURALGIA

These twin diseases cause untold suffering. Doctors admit that they an difficult to cure—t so do their patients. Paine’s Celery Compound has permanently cured the worst cases of rheumatism and neuralgia— Bo say those who have used it "Having been troubled with rheumatism at the knee and foot for five years, I was i ina v almost unable to get around, i PUKMLC.. and was vary often confined INO OMTO to my bed for weeks at a I nu/ ur > Wne.

" Pained Celery Compound has been a Godsend to me. For the past two years I have suffered with neuralgia of the heart, doctor after doctor falling to cure me. I have now taken nearly four bottles of the Compound, and am free from the complaint. I feel very grateful to you.” Chas. 11. Lewis, Central Village, CL Paine’s Celery Compound “I have been greatly afflicted with acute rheumatism, and could find no relief until I used Paine’s Celery Compound. After using six bottles of this medicine I am now curedot rheumatic troubles." Samuel Hutchinson, So. Cornish, N. H. Effects Lasting Cures. Paine’s Celery Compound has performed many other cures as marvelous as these,—copies of letters sent to any address. Pleasant to take, does not disturb, but aids digestion, and entirely vegetable; a child can take it. What's the use of suffering longer with rheumatism or neuralgia?
