platform elevated some tHree feet, for the Judges, with 'a lorigbench to scat them. These benches were varysubstantial in general; sufficient to issuin'the most weighty Judges, yet on, one occasion the bench gave way, and down came three fat nlderiiianly Judges on the floor. One of them' was quite a - wag,'and seeing.the •'squires*' laughing remarked—".Gentlemen, this is o mighty Ueak bench. 0 The. bar had their benches hear the tabic of the cleric, and the crowd was* kept back by a long pole fastened .with hickory withes at the ends/. The "crowds”, at that day thought the holding of a court was d great affair. . The people came hundred of miles to see the Judges, and hear the lawyers ''plead,” as they called it. On one occasion there came on to he tried before the jury an indictment for an assault and battery against n man for pulling the nose of another who had insulted him. The court room was filled to suffocation. The two Associate Judges were on the bench. The evidence hid been heard, and public expectation was on (ip-too. Alt was as .silent as.death, when my young friend, then "Squire/* afterwards' Judge Chas. H. Test, rose and addressed the Court: “If the Court please.” Ho was hero'interrupted by Judge Winchell from the bench, "Yes, wo do please; go to the bottom of the case, young man. The people have come in to hear'the lawyers plead.” The young Squire, encouraged by the kind response of the Judge, proceeded to address the jury some three hours In excited eloquence upon the groat provocation his client bad received tom*, duce his docile .nature to bound over all legal barriers and take the prosecutor by tho nose. All eyes were upon hiin, and as he dosed, Judge Winchell roared out, "Capital; I did not think it was in him I” The jury returned a verdict of "not guilty/’ amidst .thc rapturous applause of the audience., Court adjourned,-and’the pco-‘ plo returned home to tell their children that they bad heard tho lawyers "plead.” How different this from .an incident that the writer witnessed in the city of Baltimore in the year 1828. Happening to arrive st-Barhum's Hotel, top lato for tho Chesapeake boats to Philadelphia, (there j was ho railroad then,) and having to lie over till morning, I accidentally strolled around-to the Dotted States court room.' Curiosity .led me' to open the door and slop in. The-United States Marshal politely gave.tno a scat.- There was a venerable Judge on tho Lcrieh, a lawyer addressing the Court; anothertaking notes of his speech.; - These three, and tho Marshal, composed every person but myself in the. room. They were all strangers. I asked tho Marshal; who they! were. “Thb Judge,” said bo,. "is Cliief Justice Marshal; the gentleman the Court is William 'VYirtj nad tlio one taking note is Roger B. f Taney.” .-/Three of the m ost’distingnished men in the United Slates, and yet' in a’ city with -a population of thou fifty thousand souls,-they were unable ter draw to'the Court room;a .single auditor. I heard the arguments of these great men by rnerffaccldonl.but I shall long retain a distjqcl recollection of them. At -the March term, 1820, of the Dearborn circuit: court, Judge Eggleston took his scat on'.thc bench, as the successor of the Hon. John Wails/. Tire-judge was a young Virginia lawyer, a qonsin of the Hon. William S. Archer; of the y.-Sen-ate. He. was a fine scholar ; and a well read lawyer. His integrity, and his moral courage 'wore/above ‘suspicion, while hie impartiality commended'Him to, the approbation of all. Ho will long.bo' remembered by the writer, one of the yooug members of tho profession, for.tliQ. Judge was ever willing.to hear.all that could bo said by the humblest momber uf tho bar, and when ho decided, oven-' against hira, lus manner gave cdurage to incrcato preparation for tlic next case. ‘ I received my license to practice law from bis Hand; after a short examination in'person; His remarks in signing the. license made a deep impression upon- mo. My. in cans were exhausted,-and it was a question of life or death with me. "The Judgekindly remarked: "Mr. Smith/1 will sign license, bat yon are only prepared to commence (ho study, don’t bo discouraged, but persevere in your studies and yon may yet Stand high in yoor professioni’f The March term (io20) ;of the Dearborn Circuit Court was for tho trial of Fuller for killing Warren; Palmer Warren, the deceased, was my room fellow at par Hoarding house.' While a student ho was a young, pleasant man, of good reputation. Puller was his senior in years, also highly* respectable. These young men, it seems, became attached to a'young. though hot handsome, girl, with a broad English accent, and both proposed marriage.—The young lady preferred Warren, and rejected Fuller, who, in the moment of excited feelings, shot Warren with a pistol, first offering him one to defend himself. The ball entered tho left breast and penetrated tho* heart. Warren fell dead. I was not there at tho time, but saw his vest afterwards, with tho bullet hole through it. As these young-men were highly respected in Lawrcnccburgh, especially Fuller, who was a great favorite, tho trial excited unusual interest, 1 was present at the trial. Tho young Judge took bis seat upon tho bench for tho first time. Tho prisoner was brought into court by Cftpt. Thomas Longly, tho sheriff and took his sent iu the box. Ho-was dressed in black, except bis white vest; his conntcnanco was composed, and bis oyo steady. Mr. Amos Lane and Mr. John Test appeared

for the State, and Messrs. Daniel J. Caswell, Charles Dewey, Samuel Q. Richardson, and Merritt S. Craig were of counsel for tho prisoner. The jury were empannelcd with some difficulty. The evidence was positive and conclusive, still tho arguments of the counsel occupied several days. Every appeal that it was possible.to make to tho jmy by tho able counsel for the prisoner, was fullyjuct by the closing speech of Mr. Lane for tho State; The jury, pffor a short absence, returned a verdict of "guilty of murder in the first degree.” The Judge, offer overruling a motion for a new trial, pronounced a most impressive and solemn sentence of death by, hanging upon the prisoner. The court room was filled too vs i flowing with both men and women. All were mnch affected, and many teaVs.wcrc shed. Tho prisoner looked palo and agitated, yet it was apparent that he was not without hope. Ttie execution was fixed at a distant day by the Court to afford an opportunity to test the legality of the conviction in the Supreme Court. Tbo judgment was affirmed by the last judicial tribunal and the record returned. Tbo people of Dearborn almost in a mass signed a pctiiion to tho Governor for the pardon of Fuller; and such were his hopes that hp refused to escape from his prison, when he could have doucso. Time rolled on, and brought, the fatal hour, hot no pardon; and Fuller was publicly executed in the presence of thousands. This case will long be remembered in old Dearborn. The mind of the reader, and my own recollections, may require rest from this deep t ragedy, by relat ing other cases of a more comical character. Shortly after tho trial of Fuller; the Court called the case of Michael O’Brian, indicted for the larcency of a watch, the property of Jemmy O’Regan. .The prisoner appeared in the box. “Dc was a little pock-marked Irishman, who was evidently acquainted with tho "dear cratur,” cs well os the private resting places in the out-bouses of the city. In the witness stand sat Jemmy. OTlogan, the prosecuting . witness—a small, rather good looking Irishman, with a flaming red head, and one eye that looked os if it had been pat in with red pntty; the other eye had long taken leave of his countenance, Geh., James-Dill was the jelork of arraigns. The General was a distinguished connecting specimen of the last and the present generations—a perfect gentleman, with a fmo rr.flleJ shirt; buff pants and a long queue down his back, and: with a solemn look and a voice that would almost arouse the dead. The General speaking to the prisoner said, "Michael O'Brian, stand op and hold up your hand.”—'T will just do that very thing as ye ask mo.” . "You arc indicted for stealing Jemmy 0‘Rcgau’s watch; are yoa guilty p^;._ ; ; not^'g^uUy/ , ; Michael, bowing to the floor, "Xot.gmlty, vuj lord /” This "brought: down the house,” as tho saying goes. ; The case was submitted to the; Court, without a jury. Jemuly was sworii, and was'-the only witness. He went on to identify the watch; gave the number and mater’s name! and then with tears in his eyes, “It is tho somc watch me ould mother gave mo when I left Ireland, peace to her sowl.” The identity of the watch was completely proved, bnt still the larcency was not traced to Michael O’Brian. ' Judge Eggleston—“Jemmy O’llegan, did you find the watch upon Michael?”' “Sir, your Honor?” Judge 1 —"! say, did you fluff the watch with him;” jemmy, with the moat indignant contempt in: bis oye/lonkiug the Judge in the face, "Find tho watch upon bim?aud didn't I jell your Honor that it Was the watch-md ould miihcrgavo mo in Ireland., Hud : 1 found him with it, do yq think .1 would have troubled your Honor’ with him?’’ -.Judge, "Tho prisoner musV bq, acquitted/ on, ,thq ; ground that there is no ovidenefftbat ho over saw the watch.” .

leaving my quiet little homo in Carroll connty on the morning of the 2*2d inst., I crossed iho Kentucky river at Worthville and rode leisurely along thro* the country in the direction of New Castle, at which place' I arrived jrist aa Iho golden orb of day tyas rolling down-into < the far west,-hut it* lingering glory was still reflected everywhere aronnd. I coaid traco it gilding tho tops of the bonsos and spires, and burnishing the green leaves of the trees as they move gently in the evening! breeze. . And when 1 turned my eyes to the cast, 1. was surprised to see how rapidly night was advancing and the hori*zori becoming veiled irom my view. Tho heavens were for a brief space tinged with the lovely hues of all glorious filings, I unutterably, indescribably beautiful,-and then the picture faded away. It had [been a public'day, an exciting day in | New Castle. The two Congressional [candidates in thia v district, Marshall and .Holt, were', there, and they had been I discussing with passionate eloquence and [ flery declamation the politics of .the last half of tho nineteenth ccnlnry, as oxhi biin.Kentucky and in the United States, defining their .political positions, or the 1 positions.of the two great parties .tyblch they represent, and endeavoring to impress upon the minds of the people, that awful psrditibn “into which our government is jn great danger of-being plringed by corrupt politicians and truckling demagogues.’*. New Castle is a much larger and more plcasant.lookiug village than I [expected to sco. The people from all [parts of Henry county had bson assembled there, and every street and avenue j was crowded with,men who wore loudly [talking with “hearts all merry, light end j free” about their respective candidates.— | Every farmer Was laying in a supply of merchandise, and the merchants seemed to bo doing, a wholesalo basi ness. Becoming somewhat annoyed with the bee-like hum of the busy crowd, I hastened a few mites out of (own and came to a halt before o inral mam-ion, where I procured comfortable lodgings for the night. The lord of the mansion bad jtistretared from New. Castle, and he spent the evening ingiving me a glowing description of (ho proceedings of (bo day; After dlatching an early breakfast I was on my*ay/ The first town I came to was . Eminence, a. small village, but containing some splendid buildings. It is situated on . the Frankfort and Louisville railroad, four ani a half miles from New Castle. After remaining herd a .short lime I started for Shelby villd, where 1 arrived at 10 o’clock, A. M. There wore several hundred Irishmen working on tba (tirnpiko between Eminence and Shelby* vlllc. This is tho most beautiful region of country I ever saw! 'Tito road is lined .on either side with the most splendid [farms and dwelling bouses, thrifty orchards and good fences, with delightful ( shade trees, beautiful meadows and fields of waving grain; and these interspersed ; with tho sooty sons of Africa’s sunny dime, who seem to take as much interest in cultivating the soil and keeping things | In order as their masters. Crops of- : wheat, rye and barley,look exceedingly ■ well; com was in a backward state, bdt I [think unless wo have very early frost I there will bo an abundance of good corn in that region of country.

A suitable stand was erected in a beau* : tifal grove.. It was well curtained for' the convenience of the rustic comedians, and over it floated our national flag, on which the stars and stripes and the glorions words “Union arid LibertyV were imprinted in vivid colors; ami before it were seated several hundred people, who were, assembled to witness the perform* ancca of the day, presently the front cnrtaiu was removed, presenting to our view the sparkling eyes and brilliant fa* ccs of. at least a dozen respectable scions of modem oratory whose every feature exhibited marks of ; intelligence. The Declaration of Independence was read, and, then the : youthful orator. Master. B. F.

For nearly three quarters of an boor he received close attention from the multitude.

Early -Indiana Trials.

F. I. COURWISlEiU

HE1UKIBCEX0E8 DY tlON, 0. II. SMITH.

The writer proposes to consume a leisure liour by calling upon his recollections of the early-trials of important coses in Indiana, which may bo interesting, at least to some of oar. pioneer settlors who arc yet Hying witnesses of the troth of hia reminiscences. He propose&toconfine him* self to the third Judicial-Circuit of the State, and to the time when the Hon. Miles C. Eggleston was Presiding Judge of the Circuit. The third Judicial. Circuit, including What.was lhen known as the White Water country, and extended Irom the county of Jefferson north to the State if Michigan, some two hundred miles ini length/ and from the Ohio lino on the East to White River, some seven-ty-five miles West. The country was now, sparsely settled, and being on the western frontier, 7 tbo towns and villages wore filled.with Indians, trading their peltries, wild game and moccasins ornamented with the quills of the porcupine, with the settlers, for calicoes, whisky, powder, lead, beads, and such other articles as met their fancy. The population of the coun*. try embraced by the Uircuit, wash hardy, fearless and gencraUyJioncst, but more or less, reckless people,.such as are usually to be-found advancing upon the frontiers from mole civilized life, and consequently there were more collisions among them, more crimes committed, calling for the action.of the Criminal Courts, than is common in older settled and more civilized parts of the older States. . The judiciary system nl the lime referred to was, like the country, in it? infnn-: cy. The Circuit Court was composed of a, president judge, elected by tho Legislature, who presided in all the Coarts in the Circuit, and two associate judges, elected in each county by the people.—These “sidejudges/'.as they were then called; made no pretensions to any particular knowledge of the law,.but;still they bad the power to. overrule the presiding judge, and give tfie opinion, of the; Court, and sometimes they, eycn ‘•out guessed' ' the president,/ giving the most preposterous reasons imaginable for their decisions, as* in one. that writ of scire facia* to revive a judgement, would not lie, less it ; was sued put within, a year and aday. The decision of the associates was nfilrmcd in tbeTSapremo Court, for other reasons, of .coqrie, - The Court Houses were eitherframo orlog buildings, arranged to hold|lbe. Court in one cod and the graVd jnryv in tbo other. The petit jury, being accommodated jin some neigh-boring,ont-bnilding, used for a kitchen of the - neighboring inn; during vacation. The cleiks .bad very -little qualifications for their duties? Still they were honest, and the -most of them could write more iigibly than; Rufus Choate or William H. FoUer, United States Senators.—The Sheriffs ware plectiiJ by the people, os tbey are now, and seemed to have been selected os candidates on accpGEt of iHeir fine voices to call tho jurors and witnesses from tho woods, from tho door of tho court building, and their ability to run down and catch oflendors. The most important personages in tho country, however, were tho young lawyers, universally called "squires" by old and young r malo and female. Queues were much in fashion, and nothing was more common than to see one'of these young "Squires,""with a wilted rorotn hat that had once been stiffened with gluo in its better days, upon a head, from tho back part of which hung a queue three feet long, tied from head to tip with an cel skin, walking in evident superiority, in his own estimation, among the people in tho court yard, sounding tho public mind os to his prospects as a candidate for tho Legisloturc. There were no caucuses or conventions then. Every candidate brought himself out and ran upon bis own hook. If he got beat, as the most of them did, he had nobody to bjamo but himself for bccomiug a candidate, still ho generally charged it upon bis friends for not voting for him, and tho next senson found him once more upon the track, sounding bis own praises. The court rooms in those days were prepared and furnished with much simplicity, and yet they seemed to answer all the purposes absolutely necessary to tho duo administration of justice. • Tho building, os I have stated, generally contained two court room being tho liirgrst;—at one end of which (hero was a
