The Contemptable (?) Resolutions.

The Following is the Text of the Resolutions Adopted by the Benton * County Bar Last February. Fowler Leader. Whereas, it is the sense of the persons engaged as attorneys and counsellors at law constituting the bar of the Bent m circuit court. That all manner of persons are entitled to the equal protection of the laws and to courteous, patient, painstaking hearing of their cause of action or defense. And that no person should be compelled to yield up a right, or claim of right, except at the mandate of the law of the land. That no man should be called upon to bow to the will of any other man, evep though occupying judical position. That the office of judge calls for a grave, dignified and important Exercise ot constitutional power, j under the established forms of I law, and is not, and cannot be likened to, the pendantic and autocratic position of one entrusted with administrative duties. And whereas, they oeiieve the right of trial by jury as it existed 1 at common law, and as guaranteed by the Constitution and Bin of Rights, and provided for by : law, is a right undeniable. That they believe the jury to represent the moral sense and tue principles of natural justice upon which all organized society and true liberty is founded, namely:! the right, as held by the body ot! the country. That they believe a trial jury j to be an independent, untrammel-* led and dignified tribunal, with the power to decide disputed questions of fact in causes submitted to it, and owing to the Court no vassalage or duty; but only charged with the duty of honestly, intelligently, and fearlessly finding (Mi questions of fact submitted ; to it, and applying thereto the rules of law applicable, and making thereon an independent judgment of the rights of the parties. That any denial of the right of trial by jury in its fullest sense; that any invasion of its province; any attempt to trammel, usurp or control its action by the Court; is not only a positive wrong, but a grave misdemeanor in office. That as touching it, the right of the Court only goes to admission of rejection of evidence, and to the giving of fair, impartial and unbiased instructions; reserving at all times the right to layhand on a verdict which is the palpable result of manifest error or misapprehension: or bearing intrinsic evidence of the domination of passion, prejudice, or fraud; or clearly and indisputably against the great weight of the evidence. ! But in no case has the Court the right, either by words, acts, conduct, or intimation, during the trial to impress its views of the facts, or the rights of the matter upon the jury.

Not has the Court the right in any wise to seek or attempt to influence its verdict. That they believe that each person who submits his cause of acticn or his defease to the arbitrament of law, wifthovt reference to the merits of his came is entitled to courteous, gentlemanly, and impartial treatment hj the Court; and is entitled to mllt * his cause of action or his jeffsfSf in the mode and form, he, or Ms counsel, may select, providing such mode be according to the ThSes of law and does not, unnecessarily, delay the trial of cause, and it is the sense of them flint it is no part of the Court's duty so conduct either parties' 4|dMwe condemn in unmeasured mm the conduct of judges who become partisans, examine witnesses, comment on the evidence, or select and single out portions ofitia the words or by the name M fbe witness to serve as a basis, Or tp illustrate an instruction on written or announced in asgumentative form. they believe during the

trial of a cause, with or withouta jury, the Court should express to no one any opinion as to the rights of the parties, the merit or demerit, weakness or strength of the cause. That they believe all action taken by the Court in all adversaryproceedings, should only be in open court, and only in the presence of both parties or their counsel. That they believe that the Court should at all times preserve a gentlemanly demeanor toward them; and that the law does not « impose upon the Court the duties of a schoolmaster toward refac- i tory pupils; but that both the ; Court and counsel are officers of! the law, gentlemen of equal rank, j engaged in the same high duty of I preserving and enforcing the law j of the land according to its established forms. And they should treat each other as equals, each yielding to the other only his due, the willing tribute of gentleman to gentleman. That they believe in an economical administration of the law, j and that where a judge by his conduct, disqualifies himself in many causes; bring about and occasions retrials; . necessitates the calling yf other judges, or the appointment of attorneys as special judges or the changing of the venue of causes to other counties or circuits; and entails upon litigants and the public additional burdens; that such conduct amounts to a dismeanor in office, and cannot be and is not redeemed by that false and parsimonious economy, which requires jurors and bailiffs and court officers to serve both day and night for the per diem allowed by law. And whereas, while they believe the Honorable Simon P, Thompson to be wholly uninfluenced by mercenary motives, and to be above bribery, friendship, i or enmity; in other words, while i they believe him to be honest, it j is the sensejof the bar that he has | in many instances,-by the meth-j ods here condemned, and by tie j disregard of each of the iunda-j mental rights here declared, de- j prived the people of the benefit : of a trial by jury. That his conduct jt many times has been wanting injudicial poise and temperament. That they demand as of right,: that the court be conducted according to its ancient usage. That it follow the practice and procedure established by Judge Hammond, sanctioned by David- j son, Nelson, Vinton, Rabb and Gillette. Therefore, be it resolved by the members of the. bar of the Benton Circuit Court, that a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the Honorable Simon P. Thompson, and that he be requested to carefully consider the same, to the end, that the administration of 4>ublic justice be restored to its ancient dignity and respect. Resolved, that they be tendered to each member of the bar for his signature. . WltL ISHAM, Chas. M. Snydek, / J. T. SaundersouK / Committee. E. G.

The Menicus Lenses.

The particular advantage these Menicus lenses possess are that they give much more correct secondary axes and when adjusted to the eye yield more perfect vision through the periphery of the lens, rendering the field of vision much larger and more distinct. The above is a scientific fact. If you want a pair of these lenses of the best material iij, the world, correctly adjusted to your vision, notify, or call on Dr. Chas. Vice, the Optician, Rensselaer, Ind.

Prophesy.

From the speech of John Bright delivered at Birmingham England Dec., 18, 1862. “I have a far other and far higher vision before my gaze. It may be but a vision, but I will cherish it. I see one vast confederacy stretching from the frozen north in unbroken line to the glowing south, and from the wild billows of the Atlantic westward to the calmer waters of the Pacific main —and I see ■ one people, and one law. and one language, and one faith, and, over all that vast continent, the home cf freedom, a refuge for the oppressed of every race aud. x>f every clime.’’

Plenty of rain. What’s the matter with Dewey? He’s all right. He’s a democrat a*d his fighting qualities are 16 to 1. A party was given Will Zea Wednesday evening in honor of his 26th birthday.

Ira W. Yeoman and his da ugh- i ter Dell, and Miss Ophelia Lees, went to Indianapolis on Tuesday last. Mr .Yeoman's object was to attend the meeting of the Grand Lodge I. 0. O. F. which convened on Wednesday. The young ladies went to see the City and visit the public schools of the City. ' Mrs. Samuel Babb also went to the City with this latter party, her object being to visit her daughter Alma there and other friends and acquaintances. This vicinity has recently been visited by the heaviest rain of the season, there having been rain more or less all the time since last Friday, which finally culminated in a tremendous heavy down pour last Sunday afternoon and night, which lasted until Monday morning when streets, alleys and property were nearly all flooded. This will prevent corn planting for a few days, many however are done planting and the corn that is in the ground will not be injured by rains if the weather remains warm. Many of our citizens are taking advantage of the spring weather, find soft condition of the ground to put the water from .our Water Works into their premises. This is a good plan, as it will cost less to do it now, than when the ground dry and hard, and our people who put in their water now will not have to wait when they really need it.
