FRIDAY, JANUARY 5, 1872.

Judge Pettit.

Judge John Petfrt leaves the city today, after having presided some ten days on the bench of our Circuit Court. The cases which the Judge Game here to try, were those of Humaston vs. McGregor, and Lockridge vs. Hudson. Both those cases were important, and the ded'jfeudaiits in both preferred they should be tried by an able and experienced Judge, and hence Judge Pettit was requested to come here, and preside during the trials. That he presided with decorum and propriety is the gratifying remark of every one that he decided all the important questions of law growing out of those complicated casts, with distinguished ability, sound judgment, and great legal learning, can not for one moment be questioned. His manner of presiding and the strict rules of order he enforced, were the admiration of all. The great impartiality of his decisions won for him tlier highest respect and esteem of all our citizens. He brought back to the recollection of many of this people the times, when to be a practitioner at the bar, one had to be a gentleman when our court-rooms were placcs where the utmost order and gentlemanly demeanor prevailed when blackguards and pettifogging loafers' names did not appear on the attornys' roll when the rights of a citizen were fairly, honestly, and without prejudice, or fear, or favor, or affection, determined when litigants went into court with confidence of having the law administered to them in its purily, and when justice and the law eminated from our judicial tribunes, and the weakest citizen felt as safe in the hands of the law, as though ho was a social or financial giant. It is true, it has been some years since those things were common in the courts of this city, still many yet living, and who are not even old, recollect them. judge Pettit soon convinced the mere case lawyer, the legal shyster and pettifogging coxcomb, that he was entirely out of his element in his court that he had read too much law and adjudicated too many cases to be in the least influenced by any assertions such fellows could make. He decided the law at once, and that ended it. He held the attorneys strictly to the issues in the case, to the supreme disgust of the gassy and the overwhelming discomforturc of those employed in small and mean legal business. By his clear statements of the law, and his careful recollection of the facts, he confounded the quibbler and overthrew the professional trickster. Never did a Judge in so short a time win so many friends and become so deservedly popular. We have heard our citizens offer from oue to five hundred dollars each, to assist in paying the salary, if such a Judge could be secured to preside, all the time, over .our courts. The contrast from what cur courts generally are, and what when presided over by this venerable Supreme Judge, was so great, so apparent and so striking that it became painful and alarming. Ordinarily, "confusion worse confounded," reigns in our court rooms during the time the Judge is on the bench. The lawyers, and officers the litigants and witnesses the bailiffs and spectators, all mingle up in one grand hotch-potch and a promiscuous scramble seems to bo going on, in order to show who is the most adroit quibbler, the most arrant pettifogger, and the most cunning perverter of the pure channels in which the laws of the of the country run. Out of all thi?, like a beautiful figure arising from chao--, springs at the bidding of Judge Pettit, the most perfect order. The transition was so palpable that it commanded the commendation of all the lawyer* of the court, but startled, like hungry wolves cared from the remains of an anticipated victim, the pettifoggers trcmblal in silence.

It has been notorious in this community for many months that our courts aie singularly under the influence of one certain unconscionable firm of lawyers iu this city. So common has this opinion become, and so alarming is it to all of our best citizens, that it occupies the attention of the social circle, is spoken of on the streets, and discussed by men everywhere. It is said that this firm^riugs to their aid professional jurors has a system of packing the whole pannel in their favor, and relies alone for success in a majority of cases placed in their hands, on their knowledge of the quibbles and querks of the law, and their ability to deceive the Judge as to what the law is, and mystify the jury as to the evidence.

To show there is some foundation in fact, for those prevailing impressions among the best men of this city iu relation to the matter and things as above stated, we shall coutinue this subject in a series of other articles.

OWING to a press on our columns today, we will have to defer the publication of some communications for a day or two. As soon as we get a little leisure, we will endeavor to answer all the interrogatories of "A Small Taxpayer," as best we cajR, .M

Abrupt Termination of a Big Case in the Civil Circuit Court. The famous case of the Robt. Lockridge heirs against Col. R. N. Hudson, which has been before the civil Circuit Court for several days past, came to an abrupt termination yesterday on the callinp of the Court after dinner. Mr. Alex. McPherson, one ot the jurors, was taken suddenly sick with er37sipelas at dinner time and could not appear in Court to discharge his duties. The lawyers would not agree to let the case go to the remaining eleven jurors, and Judge P*tiit declared the case off for the time being and dismissed the jury.

This trial had proceeded so far that only one speech remained to be made, and now the case will have to be gone all over again, involving the county iu a lar^e expense. Verily, the delays of the law are beyond comprehension.—Journal.

The Journal should have said that the defendant desired to submit the case to the decision of the eleven remaining jurors, but the plaintiff's attorneys refused to do this, that the defendant in the first place was willing to try the case by the Court, but the plaintiffs Attorney's demanded a jury, and then refused to let eleven good and lawful men decide it, after they had heard all the evidence, and they had the closing argument, too. What they feared most, was the instructions of a Judge who knows what the law is, and the decision of an unpacked jury that could not be bamboozled by pettifogging lawyers.

LABORING men will be more benefitted by making Terre Haute a great railroad center than any other class of our people. It will make us a great city and stimulate and uphold industry in all its branches. Let not working men be cajoled by the few wealthy drones into voting against the Southwestern Railroad enterprise.— Journal.

The Journal makes a mistake in endeavoring to array one class of our citizens against another, upon this railroad question. Unless this enterprise receives the aid of the men who have surplus capital, it cannot be built. It requires money to build railroads. To the building of a southwestern railroad, perhaps not ten men in this community objects, but to building the Southwestern Railroad, there are, as the matter now stands, many and serious objections. At all events, is it right and proper to array one class of this community against the other, in the furthering of any public enterprise?

THE New York Leader, a journal which has been published for seventeen years, and during a portion of its career was one of the most brilliant newspapers in this country, has just expired. Its contributors have numbered some of the ablest Eastern writers among them Henry J. Raymond, S. S. Cox, Lewis Gaylord Clark, John Brougham, Hackettj John Clancy, Charles L. Halpine, George Arnold, Henry Clapp, Edward Wilkins and George Woolridge, whose papers, over the nom de plume of "Tom Quick," have made him widely known. During the whole period of its existence it was a violently local political paper, not one of the most elevated character, and this feature always stood in strong contrastwith the brilliancy and ability of its literary, art, and dramatic departments. During the past few months, with a singular recklessness, it has devoted itself to the defense of the New York Ring. With the collapse of the Ring, the paper has eollap-ed, and there will be few'who will regret it, however briliiaut or able the paper may have been in other respects than political.

IT is stated that Mr. Cameron has written a letter to Minister Curt in, at bt. Petersburg, inviting him to explain why and wherefore he has mixed in the Pennsylvania political muddle adversely to the re-election of the present distinguished head of the Foreign Relations Committee. If Mr. Curtin's answer be not satisfactory to the "old fox," rumor has it that there will be a diplomatic vacancy at the Russian Court. We hope this is not true. The delicate diplomatic regulations which allow a Minister to endorse fraud, and become a party to a barefaced swindle, should not get into an unsoemingly twist over so harmless a peccadillo as being opposed to the re-election of so pure and polished a politician as the Pennsylvania putative head of the Senatorial Committee on Foreign Affairs.—Indianapolis Journal.

Something Worth Saying. Few readers can be aware, until they have had occasion to test the fact, how much labor or research is often saved by such a table as the following, the work of one now in his grave. If "History is Poetry," then here is "poetry persoui tied:" 1607—Virginia settled by tho English. 1614—New York settled by the English. 1620—Massachusetts Settled by the Puritans. 1624—New Jersey settled by the Ducth. 1627—Delaware settled by the Swedes and Fins*. 1635—Maryland settled by the Irish Catholies. 1636—Connectl^nt. fcettled by the Puritans.

Decision in an Important Lair Case. Judge LaRue announced the decision of the Court this morning, in the case of Hughes, Denver & Peck against Col. John 8. Williams, which has been referred by agreement between the parties to Judges Vinton aud LaRue, and John L. Miller, Esq., growing out of a partnership between the parties at Washington -City, immediately after the close of the war, in the prosecution of Government claims, in which, as appeared from the evidence on the trial they realized a largo sum of money—over $100,003 in less than ten months.

It was claimed by Hughes, Denver and Peck, that Col. Williams had drawn out of the concern more than his just share, amounting* to the sum of $10,000, for which they Sought to recover judgment against biua. The Court, however, found tut boot on the other leg, and instead

Col. Williams owing Hughes, Denverand Peck §10,000 they owe Williams $2,209.92, for which he hasjudgment.

Colonel Williams has passed through a severe ordeal in the progress and trial of this case, but we are glad to know, and to be able to inform his friends, that he came out of it with flying colors.—LaFayette Dispatch.

Now and then, and rather too often, we find clergymen allowing themselves little sneering flings at the newspaper, it being litterally true that there is not a great pulpit popularity to the establishment of which the journalists have not generously contributed.. A preacher may have the lungs of a'Boanerget, but bawl he ever so loudly he cannot be heard beyond the four walls of his tabernacle. It is the reporters who make a national or a cosmopolitan great man of him.—St. Jo Herald.

four Evils.—Whoever habitually uses any alcoholic preparations as an "appetizer" will be likeljr to suffer from four evils, viz.: an overplus or food in the stomach, impaired ability to digest it, the pangs of dyspepsia, and a doctor's bill. DK. WALKER'S VEGETABLE VINEGAR BITTKRS, the great Teetotal Restorative of the age, without over stimulating the palate of irritating the stomach, imparts a healthful appetite, promotes digestion, regulates the liver and bowels, purifies the blood, aud thus, instead of entailing four evils, confers four inestimable benefits. 6dw4w

the year 1872 General Grant's successor is to be chosen the Forty-third Congress to be elected.

The people's votes, white and black, North and South, will thus decide the future destiny of the Republic, select its rulers, prescribe their course.

How to influence the people's votes? By the newspaper—for it includes every other agency. It makes known events and facts —among all influences the chief. It asst-mbles the vaster outside audiences which cannot gather to the State House, the pulpit, or the slump. It is the constant interpreter of men's affairs, and of errors or truth is the daily seedsower.

Next November is our political harvest-time. As we sow we shall reap. THE WORLD'S seed-sowing will be fruitful to the extent that its circulation is widely pushed by those who approve its aim.

THE WORLD will aim to represent and combine the labors ana votes of I.—All those who find best insurance of the people's prosperity, peace and progress in a government administered on the principles and in the pure practice of Jefferson and Jackson, and who descry the fount and origin of the present corruptions, extravagance, misgovernment, subversion of publh- liberties, and insecurity of private rights in our rulers'lawless usurpation of interdicted and undelegated powersusurpation that to-day marches deliberately on to the subjmiation of popular rule and ihe possession of dictatorial power—for by acts of Congress General Grant may even now-destroy the lreedom of State elections, invade the States at his pleasure, and declare martial lav/ of his own frte will.

II.—All those who would maintain the honor of the republic, and would .preserve public credit by punctual payment of the public debts.

Ill —All thoso who would cut down to fewer and fit objects all appropriations of the people's money (to-day more thaai douole, nearly treble, the appropriations of a Democratic Congress eleven years ago, not counting annuities to I11dians, pensigns to soldiers, and interest on debt) and who would oblige all spending of the people's money got by taxes, to be with honesty and thrift likewise all those who would spare a little of the people's landed estate for the landless millions hereafter and stop its squandering dominions in a day upon those who already own much.

IV.— All those who would reduce the number of commodities taxed by our tariff' from thousands to a few dozens, and so empty our custom-houses of half their officials, rid the statute books of half their odious snares for honesty or bribes to fraud and unfetter scores of our native industries.

V.—All those who would lower the rates also of our tariff taxes to the point of most easily yielding the largest revenue—who would abandon the protectionist system of reducing the revenue whilst increasing the extortionate profits of a few at the expense of all other industries.

VI.—All those who would abolish every unlawful tax, like that on incomes every unjust tax like that which gives banks the people's profits on a national currency every unequal ard indeterminate tax, like that levied most cruelly upon the poor—the tax of our irredeemable paper-money.

TO YOU AJLXj!

The Old Year, with its pleasures and cares, its strug

gles and its triumphs, has joined the agos of the years that are past. It was a year of

bright promise to us, and it has not left its pledges unfulfilled. Oar highest anticipa

tions have been more than realized, and we have been enabled to plant our flag higher

upon the battlements of the enemy than ever belore. We trust it has treated with

equal kindness all of the many thousands of our customers whom we wished a happy

New Year a year ago to-day. If to some it has not been thus gracious, we ask for them

a double portion of joy in the year to come.

To-day, then, we Bring you Glad Greeting!

A new year opens upon us fresh duties beckon us forward new opportunities are

arising, and greater achievements must be accomplished. We are no longer strangers

to each other. The clear, untarnished record of nearly two years is before you, and

in its light you have been kind enough to judge us.' We start to-day upon the New

Year with fairer prospects for the future than ever before. We have lived down the

slanders of our enemies, and have forced some of them to admit the monstrous false

hoods they have uttered against us. We have gained the confidence and support of a

larger constituency of customers than has ever been secured by any other retail Dry

G-oods establishment in Western Indiana. Our sales now equal if in fact they do not

largely exceed the combined sales of any two of our competitors, and yet the year up

on which we have just entered must witness still greater achievements wca by us over

the ruinous old-fashioned credit credit system of the High-priced Siores.
