Circuit Court Matters.

One Cleveland J. Reynolds, a fellow who run the Monticello Meinocrat about six.years ago, and left that place between two days : nd in very bad repute, morally ar ( d financially, has naturally turned up as a reformer and been apr pointed a route agent, by the administration, in Missouri. The Confederate General. L. T. R sser, about as thoroughly a :di!ive of.the Dourlion D?;iocrar of the South as can be : 'und anywhere, has had opporinr.ities to become entirely familiar with the nature of the Northern .wing .of his party and familiarty his case has certainly brought a very large- of corL'ii.pt. Recently in Minneapolis he sized ■'P the Democracy of the North in ' following brief but comprehensive manner: “The Democratic party at the North is not what the South wants. 11 is made up of the worst elements at the North. It has got all the anarchism, nihilism, whiskeyism, and other isms The Republican ; arty embraces the business men .Mid the energy of the north, while our Northern ally is made up of copperheads and those who were b.sloyal. If the Republicans nomin»te John'Sherman it is my opinion there will be some very independni voting in the South.” ■

The Rensselaer Republican says it was an outrage to indict General Carnahan and his trial will be j. farce.

and others organizing little sideshow celebrations of their own on this side of the water. There is only one real ly g<xxi reason why the English people should particularly felicitate themselves on this grently prolractetl reign; and that is the consideration that the longer the reign of the Queen the shorteij 1 will I>e that of her dissipated and worthless son, the Prince <?f Waleb. Morally the Queen is a very good sort of person, a good wife and a goqd mother, without doubt; but as a ruler she is narrow minded, unprogressivp, an excessive stickler for her royal prerogatives, and, worse than all, she is avaricious and miserly in the last degree. She is constantly adding to"her enormous private fortune, an 1 is never known to give a cent of it to relieve the sufferings of her unfortunate subjects. Intelligence from White county 'through a reliable source, fully j iistifies the warning The Republican has given to its readers not to sign any oil or gas leases, without full and careful investigation. Certain farmers in the above county had given oil and gas leases of their farms, to certain parties, and a little later some slick and plausible strangers came along and wanted to buy the farms at a big price, fcr cash. On learning <>f the oil r.nd gas leases they would have nothing to do with the farms unless the leases were removed. The farmers then went to the parties holding the leases and paid large sums in cash, or mortgage notes, to have the leases cancelled. That being done they began looking for the men who were ready to pay the big prices for their farms, and at last accounts Were still looking. Of course they were partners of the men who held the leases. Tliore are several morals to this story. One is, don't sign any oil or gas leases. Another is, if you have signed any such, don’t pay an exorbitant price to have the lease cancelled on the strength of the premise of some stranger to pay a big price for your farm, when the lease is cancelled.

Sheri!; Yeoman went down into the son'.hern part of the state last week and brought bask with him John Nickerson and his wife Alary Nickerson, two lien tuck»>y corn crackers of low degree, who until a few wee!.s ago, had been for some time residents of Jordan tp. .Uvordingdo popular report they enticed a re'g ibor's gw’, about thirteen years eb 1 , into their house, one day last February, and got her drunk on whiskey sling and then, it some reports are-err. t, the man then committed a criminal assault upon yie child. The girl Uer- elf denies this part of the story however, and affidavits were tiled charging both the man and the woman with giving liquor to a minor. They plead guilty, and were each lined £2O and default of which they went t o jailP

Eugene Long, who plead guilty to ctei.iing *l6O of Ed. Biggs, of Kankakee tp., feeeivetl the very ’lenient sentence < f i 1 days confinement in the county jail, one dollar tine and two year, disfranohisemqnt. Inasmuch as the boy lacks four years of being old enough to be a voter, the last part of the sentence has a very Hibernian aspect, One of the very few jury trials of t.he term was the suit of S. H. Duvall against ’Jasper Kenton, for damages'. for the death of a horse which the latter had <-Gtrated. The amount claimed was . The jury failed to agreee and the ease was continued until n.-xt term.
