TOR GOVERNOR IN 1872,

Washington C. De Pauw,

OF FLOTP COUNTY.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 13, 1872.

The Jndicial "What is It." We give in another column the editorial article written by Gen. Cruft, for his paper, iu defense of his law firm, from the attack we saw proper to make on it a few days ago. We supposed Charley would be ju&t indescreet enough to do this very thing. The law firm that would write the McGregor letter which we published a few days ago, is brazenfaced enough to do anything. Feeling a little sympathy for a portion of this firm, we had concluded to follow up our line of argument in relation to that letter and the peculiar circumstances under which it was written no further, but if tiie gentlemen desire further explanation, we will see who first cries "hold, enough."

The investigation had in the Court of Common Pleas yesterday, and the ar~ raignment of Baird & Cruft before that august tribunal, was the most unwarranted and ridiculous farce ever enacted in a court of law. We had asserted in the columns of the GAZETTE, that rumor said the law firm of Baird & Cruft were in the habit of packing juries in our courts. We never asserted we knew this to be the fact. How could we, for we have not been in our courts a dozen times in ten years. We gave it as a gonpral rumor on our streets, and we now give it as a rumor which has been current in this city for many months. We stand by what we said.

Now, in the cxparte case tried before Judge fecott yesterday, the question as to the general rumor in relation to the practice of Buird & Cruft in this particular, was only asked a few witnesses, and when asked, the witness always responded that they had heard such rumors. Mr. Baird, who sdlfar forgot what was due a high-minded lawyer iu such a case, examined the witnesses himself, and was contented to ask them "If they knew of Baird & Cruft ever packing juries in our courts?" The witness generally answered "Of my own personal knowledge, I do not." Why was not the question put to them "Have you ever heard a rumor current in this city, that the law firm of Baird & Cruft did pack juries?" Had this question been asked, we venture our last farthing, that nine out of every ten of the lawyers and officers of court, and citizens who testified, would have answered "Yes, I have." We only speak of the rumor. Why was the question in relation to this rumor so studiously avoided

Again, we said in our evidence that we had been told of this rumor by two citizens—Alexander McGregor and James C. McGregor and Alexander McGregor being present stated that he had spoken to us of this rumor, and fur ther that he could tell much more, if he was permitted to, of what he had heard from James C. McGregor, who is at thi3 time in Washington City. Why was not Alexander McGregor permitted to state what he had heard his uephew say, or why was not the case continued until James C. McGregor could be present? If Messrs. liaird'& Cruft had been ious to be entirely purged of this damaging rumor, they would have done this. Why were these proceedings commenced one day, and on the morning of the next, rushed through in such hot haste? We were not even supenaed as a witness two hours before we testified on the stand. Why this hot haste, and why this investigation before Judge Scott, when the eridence before him was, that rumor said this very law firm had a powerful or undue influence over him? Would it not have been more in accordance with the "eternal fitness of of things," if some other Judge had been on the bench, and some other lawyer had conducted the investigation for the arraigned

General Cruft in his editorial, in defense of his law firm, says that McGregor testified that we called at his office and stated that "we wanted to write an article on this subject." McGregor stated no such thing. His exact language was, "3/h Hudson remarked that he had some idea of writing some articles cxjilanatory of this thing." Has the General become so corrupted by his peculiar kind of law practice, that he can not eveu.tell the truth.

This whole case, or investigation, of suit, or examination, or legal purgation, or judicial noh-descript, or what ever else you may desire to call it, was as ridiculous and unprecedented, as it was nninfluential on the public mind and unimportant iu its results. It was as onesided as the position of a jug handle, and as unprejudiced as a woman's love for her favorite. It was a beautiful little specimen of "you tickle me and I will tickle you," at a cost of several hundred dollars to the county. We hardly recollect when the following thrilling little two lines come so forcibly to our recollection

"Jomny come tickle me, tickle me quick, Charley come tickle me with a stick." It was a kind of judicial tickling un« der the fifth rib, in consideration that the tickliug be returned, and the whole thing appears to have given much satisfaction to the parties tickled. As a legal "whatis it," it was a success, and and as a kind of official "cure all" eminently in keeping with the practice of this very successful law firm. We have heard four lawyers express their opinion

in relation to it. No. 1 said, "Well that was the d—st farce I ever saw in a court room." No. 2 said, "That beats any law case I ever heard of." No. 3 affirmed that, "All now are honorable men," and No. 4 asserted that the "Whole thing was as bald as a new-born baby's pate."

As for ourself, and we only heard two witnesses examined, we are of the opinion the Judge, and the firm of Baird & Cruft Ought to get out a patent for a new way to try cases in courts, and then turn their attention to selling patent rights. They seem to know the "trick by which it is done," and we have no doubt they would reap a rich reward. If, however, they do not desire to take our advice, we would suggest to them the propriety of turning a new leaf and pursue a more high-minded, honorable practice of their profession. But perhaps we ought not to suggest this, for we recollect the old common law maxim, "Lex neminem cogit ad impossibilia."

The Common Pleas Court. Yesterday was afield day in court. The charge agaiust Baird & Cruft and Sheriff Stewart for malpractice, in packing juries, occupied nearly the whole day.

R. N. Hudson, who made the charge in his newspaper, was called as a witness, and stated that, of his own knowledge, he knew nothing about Baird & Cruft packing juries, or employing professional jurors or getting men improperly on juries that there* was a general rumor in the community that this firm had packed juries and exercised a powerful influence over the Judges, and that be had heard various attorneys of this county say so. When pressed on crossexamination he could name two persons whom he had heard speak of this matter, they being Alex. McGregor and James C. McGregor, and this was since the trial of the McGregor-Humaston case, in which Baird & Cruft are attorneys against Mr. McGregor.

Alex. McGregor stated that he had no personal knowledge on the subject that lie had heard a rumor to the effect that Baird & Cruft run this court, but he could name no one but James C. McGregor and Hudson whom he had heard speak about it. He said that James C. Mo Gregor never had a lawsuit nor attended courts, and is now absent from the city that his talk with Hudson on the subject occurred by Hudson calling at his office and asking him for information, stating that he wauted to write an article on the subject. All the lawyers and officers of the court were sworn and all the attorneys testified that they had never spoken wifh Hudson on the subject of Baird & Cruft's packing juries except Mr. Briggs, who stated that Hudson had made the charge to him and he denied that it was true. The lawyers, Judges, Sheriff anrl bailiffs all stated that they knew nothing of any improper conduct of Baird & Cruft in relation to packing juries, or iu anything connected with their profession.

The evidence and decision of the court clearly exonerated the Judges, Sheriff", Baird & Cruft, and all the members of the bar, and all jurors of our courts from any improper conduct in the administration of justice in our midst. Itshows that the charge made by the evening paper is a vile slander on our courts, without any foundation whatever, and a mere effort of personal malice. The evidence was reported under order of the court, and may be published hereafter if the court orders it done.—Express.

Prolongation of Life.

An article on this subject has recently appeared In the London Timee, suggested by Dr. Farr's review of the causes of death iu England for the year 1869. The inference that it draws is interesting to all communities, and especially so, we think, to the American people, whose enterprise and energy are drawing so heavily upon the physical force of the nation.

II is asserted as quite possible that the agencies at work against health, strength, and life may be counteracted, and that these agencies are under our power to a greater extent than we allow ourselves to believe. All diseases are more or less subject to human control, for if not directly caused, they are yet hastened by man's ignorance, vice or neglect. "We must all die at last," says the Times "but something more than a divine law of mortality is operating when out of a half million of deaths, less than twentyeight thousand can be referred to 'old age,' or only about 'one in eighteen.'"

The sanitary precautions of ventilation, proper fOod, sewerage, and clothing are observed with us perhaps as much as they are in England. But the mind and body are here running a terrible race, and are both over excited and overtasked. The consequence is a decided iucrease of diseases of the brain aud the nervous system amoug our male population, leading to a general break-down at a comparatively early age. These diseases are clearly under human control, and therefore preyentable for it cannot be regarded as a necessity to live so fast, nor is there profit iu it, if the penalty be a shortened career.

One of the most important sanitary questions of the day is sewerage, which, we believe, might be materially improved iu most of our large cities. When more care and attention are paid to it, there will.be a general improvement aud prolongation of life, which will be sensibly felt by our life insurance companies. "We hear," adds the Times, "a good deal about intemperance and on this topic we quote from that paper in extenso as it takes a view in regard to the daily life of many of us, to which it would be well to give a careful study "The drunken man, whether his drink begin or champgne, carries his sin before him, and so proclaims his folly to the world. So there is no fear the world will ever forget it. It is not so with gluttony, whether coarse or refined. The latter, Dr. Farr thinks, is the growing sin of the age. To go to many good dinners, to be a Welcome guest, and to enjoy the hospitality offered to appreciate the besf. cookery, aud to be able to do so without immediate ill consequences, is not only no sin in these days, it is virtuous, honorable and useful. In this way do men rise in favc, win friends, adorn and even instruct society, and become great and good men.- But Dr. Fansays that they die the quicker for it, and that gout, the penalty of the luxurious, is now killing more, while delirium tremeus so conspicious is scandalous gossip and the tales of amoral tendency, is not killing so many as it used to do. Old port, like the plague, has had its day, and good eating and much of it is taking its place in deadly efficacy. It is the more dangerous because so unobtrusive. A drunken man talks loud a glutton falls asleep*, and may preserve a reputation for wisdom and goodness. His time, however, will come. He has spoiled his digestion, aud, like armies, 'he marches on his bellyhe finds himself burdened with impedimenta of a non-fighting character, very deficient in transport, and wanting a head altogether. Gout and worse disorders will pay him off for his indulgence, and visits his sins on his children to the third and fourth generation. Fortunate for the many they are out of the reach of danger. It is the rich, the clever, and the attractive—the man of wit and power, the scholar and the genius—that are sufferers here. But we can no more afford to lose them, or see their lives cut short in the hey-day of their power, than we can lose the millions and we hope Dr. Farr's warnings may not be lost to them." 'X\'t

An Aggravated Case of Mother-In-Law. Ada V. Miller, who was bound for better or worse to Sijnon Miller, the 23d of

—v.

"t .^1

June last, and has been endeavoring for two days past to obtain a divorce from bed and board in Judge Blair's court, failed ignominiously this morning. From the evidenee it appeared that the couple had lived together in the enjoyment of the usual amount of felicity awarded to mortals who have freshly entered the marriage state, when a disturbing demon, in the shape of the wife's mother appeared on the scene. Of course trouble at once ensued, and connubial felicity took a permanent ^departure. With a desire to compromise the difficulty, and a strange ignorance of human nature, Miller called in his maternal ancestors to take the position of arbitrator, and then affairs were made1 sufficiently lively about that once happy home to effectually dispel any suspicion the neighbors have entertained that the couple were leading a monotonous life.— Ind. Evening Journal.

To those who are Bowed Down by Nervous Debility, and despair of ever recovering the vigor and mien of manhood we earnestly recommend Dr. Walker's California Vinegar Bitters. Before they have finished the first bottle, they will feel the restorative principle at work in every portion of their broken-down systems and hope will spring up in their hearts. No case of Dyspepsia, Biliousness, Intermittent Fever, Rheumatism, Gout or Kidney disease, can resist this unequaled vegetable tonic which is unpolluted by any distilled or fermented liquor. 8dw4w

1872. THE WORLD. 1872.

JN the year 1872General Grant's successor is to _L 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 pnd facts —among all influences the chief. It assembles the vaster outside audiences which cannot gather to the State House, the pulpit, or the stump. It is the constant interpreter of men's affairs, and of errors or truth is the daily seedsower.

JNext 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 public liberties, and insecurity of private rights in our rulers'lawless usurpation of interdicted and undelegated powersusurpation that to-day marches deliberately OD to the subjugation of popular rule and the possession of dictatorial power—for by acts of Congress General Grant may even now des.roy the lreedom of State elections, invade the States at his pleasure, and declare martial law of his own free will.

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

III.—All thoso who would cut down to fewer and fit objects all appropriations of the people's 1 money (to-day more than douole, nearly treble, the appropriations of a Democratic Congress I eleven years ago, not counting annuities to Indians, peusigns to soldiers, ana interest on debt) and wlio would oblige all spending of the people's money got by taxes, to be with nonesty and thrift likewise all those who would spare a little of the people's landed estate for the landless millions hereafter and stop ittf squandering dominions in a day upon those who already own much.

IV.—All those who would reduce the num ber 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 tlieir odious snares for honesty or bribes to fraud and unfetter scores otnnr native industries.

V.—All those who would lcrwer 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 pro* fits 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 and indeterminate tax, like that levied most cruelly upon the poor—the tax of our irredeem able paper-money.

A HAPPY NEW YEAR

TO YOU ALL!

The Old Year, witli its pleasures and cares, its struggles and its triumphs, has joined the ages of the years that are past. It was a year of bright promise to as, and it has not left its pledges unfulfilled. Our highest anticipations have been more than realized, and we have been enabled to plant our flag higher upon the battlements of the enemy than ever before. 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 Goods establishment in Western Indiana. Our sales now equal if in fact they do not

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

«n which we have just entered must witness still greater achievements wo* by us over

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