O* The Journal well and handsomely replieB to the recent strictures of Censor," while another paper, not alluded to, we believe, seems highly indignant. Censor's article is copied by the Louisville Journal, which shows there is something in it, and it is to be copied by the Paris Beacon, as the editor so said.

Is it not singular that an attorney may ve-

sional gentlemen but wc cannot see why an editor cannot do with impunity thnt which is go often done by members of the bar, for the greater the offence and the greater the njscal who may bo saved from justice and merited punishmont by his attorney, the greater is the merit awarded to the lawyer. Such is the present structure of society, such is public opinion an anomaly not easily unravelled. It is not our province, however, at preseut, to object to any particular facts around us, as we claim not to be a censor in any respect.

We find, since writing the above, tho following npon a similar subject and as it is a bold and independent articlo, and perhaps truo withal, wo give our readers a taste of it. It is from C. F. Clarkson, editor of the Brookville American.

KETjV 8TIU.

On Saturday last, Judge John S. Reid.oftlie Common Pleas, imposed a tino of §5 on the Prosecutor for contempt of court. We are not astonished at this. A few more such lines would make lawyers a little more respectful in their conduct, Wc did not suppose, however, that our quiet and modest friend, James M'Clure would be selected as the first example. They ought to commence on the older sinners. And it would be well for a few witnesses to knock down a few lawyers, if Uie Judge does not protect tinm from tlie ruthless attacks and slanders they are continually making upon them. We know of three or four cases now where respectable men know of gross violations of the law, but they are not going to volifnteer to be witnesses in a prosecution where any low, dirty, filthy wretch, can bribfe any respectable lawyer with a $3 bill to abuse them an hour in the coarsest and most wanton manner, and the court sit complacently by and permit it, nor allow tho witness to defend himself with either words or clubs. The most corrupt men our nation are those who can be bribed to defend any bad man or any bad cause. Were the editor of ine American to take a fee to defend tho filthiest doggery in this place, he would not be allowed to live in the town ten days yet a lawyer can do it. and bjjr their all controlling influence in moulding opinion, and public morals, make it all right in lawyers.

And, too, some poor, ignorant witnesses, think that a lawyer has a light to abuse and slander them with impunity. And we have no doubt courts will continue to permit such outrageous conduct until witnesses go into tho court with the dirk and the pistol in their pockets,and defend,inthemostsummarv man ner their rights. It is time now that It was done, and are ready to defend hitn who takes the lead, until lawyers area little mare respectful their language towards witnesses.

DEATH OF RICHARD HENRY LEE. The Cincinnati Commercial of Friday last, is in mourning for the death of H. LUK,one of the editors of that paper, who leaves a wife, three daughters Rod two sons to mourn their irreparable loss. The wife and younger children are in Germany.

Mr. LEK was some years ago editor of the Maysvillo £*#U. He was at different periods of his life a merchant, a manufacturer, a lawyer, and at one time President of the Maysvillo Branch of the Bank of Kentucky.

He went over in

of the Vigo Circuit Court.

The examination lasted-all day Saturday, and was terminated Monday eveuinglastv when the

,iey went back to jail on Monday ereuing, but it is understood that the bail will be given

and the accused released from the confine* of the prison. V»c heard bntVhraail part of the festimony in this case, but from conversations with those residing near Thos. Mewhinney's w* entertained some doubts whether bail would be admitted at all, or if admitted, that the bond would be in the penalty of some two or three thousand dollars. We thought of course, that the crime could not bo considered less than manslaughter, and if so, large but not excessive bail would be required. Recently, for forgery,

have been more in accordance with the general expectation. Not hearing the investigation it is hard to mako up a positive opinion, but returning to tho Arbucklo case for forgery, Ac will stand a chance for tho greatest penalty under the law, while the greater offender (.Mewhinney,) may escape much further trouble.

Wc are not prepared to speak of the tact and good management which may, or may not have been exhibited on tho -part of the prosecution, upon which, of course, the court must have materially relied in coming to a decision.

The recent killing of Gordon by Livingston, and the facile e.-cnpe of tho latter, and the pres ent result of this case of killing, has naturally enough, elicited much

street

comment and criti

cism, but we trust that the law will be fully vindicated, and justice, tempered with mercy, impartially meted out to each and every offender.

It is probable that the dying declarations of Thos. Mewhinney, (the father) which were elicited on the examination, went very far towards softening the great offence, and lessening the bail required of tho unfortunate son.

LATI:B.~Mewhinney gave bail on yesterday evening, and is now at large.

?CC.ITIVE SLAVE CASE AT INDIANAPOLIS.—The State Journal of Friday has tho follow ing: "John L. Ketchum, Esq., who went south a couple of weeks ago for tne purpose of procuring testimony favorable to the freedom of the alledged fugitive slave, John Freeman, has returned. His journey was a successful one.1"*

If Freeman proves himself free, this suit any way, will cost him most all he is worth, which will make it a very hard case. We understand that Ellington, the claimant, said that if Freeman was A is man, he had a scar on one leg made by a hot bar of iron which was once thrown at him. Ellington wanted to examine and give it up, if the scar was not. found, but it was not permitted. If Freeman proves himself free, and also has tho burnt cicatrice on his leg where Ellington says it will be found, it will make it a still more singular case.

VANITY.—After being reminded of our remissness in the matter, we make all the amends we can, in publishingthefollowing remarksof J.B. L. Sottle, Esq., editor of the Charleston Courier, in relation to our neighbor of the Wabash Cour~ ier. In simple justice to the parties, wc ought to have done this last week. "We enjoyed a call on Judge CONARD of the Courier iu his cool, quiet sanctum, enjoying the reflections of his philosophic mind, who welcomed me with that tasy urbanity peculiar to himself, Which is worth more than a span of fast trotting nags to take a man through the world."

We never do injustice intentionally, to our friends or neighbors.

THE HAXXET HOUSE

We know of nothing about town that wants a small improvement worse than the lower Market House. Those who attend said market, (buyers) see every market mornings the great want of more room, and more openings in the fence at the pattern end of the market. On"Saturday morning, the two eastern gates were so jammed by persons entering and departing, all with baskets on their arms, that womenhad no possible chance of moving either wayvr So it is almost every market nioruiug.

We suggest to the Common Council the propriety of widening the north side pa\ement some 12 or 15 feet, and of extending the south side pavement out including the width of the

side-walk, also of having a large central gate

at the eastern end of the market. Nothing less

than these things will accommodate the throng that now attendssaid market, and the improvement will cost but little. It would also be well to pave and hand-rail the side-walk on the east.

What say the Board? Those of you that attend the market see and know that such iraprovernenU are sadly needed, now when so many ijrc called to the one place three times a

J. W. GOSDOH, ESQ.

Ma. EDITOU: I see by your paper of the 20tli inst., that J. W. GORDON, Esq., of Indianapolis, is a candidate for Reporter of the decisions of our Supreme Court.

Perhaps 'no one could have presented his name for that office more preSminently fitted to discharge its duties—a fine scholar—a man of extensive general information, and a close penetrating lawyer.

I happen to kuow Mr. Gordon well, and were I to select from all those gentlemen, who from time to time attend the sittings of the Supreme Court, I could find none more peculiarly suited to report its decisions.

Nuwork that is submitted to Gordon's hands ever left unfinished proverbial for industry, he triumphs over every undertaking—with an indomitable energy, he has, amid a multiplied score of misfortunes, mastered in a few years, what is hardly attained by others in a life time.

Withoutthe aid of wealth or patronage—from poor, but honest parentage, he has hewn out his path, and with his own hands moulded and fashioned his intellect to its present capac-

He is a self made man—one of natures noblemen, who would sooner be right than be President"—who would fear to do wrong, as he would shun a life of shame.

I am glad that such a man has consented to run for this very importaut position—and that .he has consented to run, untrammelled by party influences—by party dictation.

Independont as I know him to be in all his opinions, it shows no want of moral courage when he shakes off the shackles of party, aud asks the people—the sovereign masses, to view his claims,—his merits, and dispose of him accordingly. WABASH.

STILL RISING.—The eligible building lot on Ohio St., near Mr. L. Ryce's, was sold abou.t a year ago for $1700,00. About a month past, it was again sold for $2200 and again last week, it changed hands at $2500. The last purchasers were the trustees of the Wabash A Erie Canal, and we understand from the resident trustee, that a handiome office for the Trust, will be erected on said lot the present season. It is to be a brick, arranged in front like a dwelling house, with afire-proof room back for the safe keeping of important, papers —all to cost not less than $3000.

To make a wine equal in value to port, take ripe blackberries, or dewberries, and press them, let the juice stand thirty-six hours to foment, skim off whatever rises to the lop. then to every gallon of the juice add a quart of water and three pounds of sugar, brown sugar will do. let it stand in open vessels for twenty-four hours, skim and strain it. then barrel it until March, when it should be carefully racked off and bomed.

Blackberry cordial is made by adding one pound of white sugar to three pound

for twelve hoars, then press out the

put a teaspoonful of finely powdered nl spice io every quart of the cordial, and it is at once fit for use.

This wine and cordial are valuable medicines in the treatment of weaknesses of

valuable in the summer complaints of dren. As this is the season for such disorders, and as the blackberry is now ripe. I have thought it necessary to make these recipes.

THOUGHTS BORN OF A CAXESS. 'O. what a nice place to cry!'said a laughing little girl, as she nestled her head lovingly on her mother's breast.

The words were spoken playfully, and the little fairy was all unconscious how much meaning lav hid in them but they brought the tears to my eyes, for I looked forward to the time when care and trial should throw their shadows over that laughing face-when adversity should overpower—when summer friends should fall off like autumn leaves before the rough blast of misfortune—when the faithful breast she leaned upon should be no longer warm with love and life—when, in all the wide earth, there should bo for that little one, 'no nice place to cry.'

God shield the motherless! A father may be left—kind, aft'eclionate. considerate, perhaps—but a man's affections form but a small fraction of his existence. His thoughts are far away, even while his child clambers on his knee. The distant ship with its rich freight, the state of the moneymarket, the fluctuations of trade, the office, the shop, the bench and he answers at random the little lisping immortal, and gives the child a toy, and passes on. The little, sensitive heart has borne its childish griefs through the day unshared. She don't understand the reason for anything, and nobody stops to tell her. Nurse 'don't know, the cook is 'busy,' and so she wanders restlessly about, through poor mamma's empty room. Something is wanting. Ah, there is no 'nice place to cry!'

Childhood passes blooming maidenhood

present watchfulness, are not there. She gives her heart, with all its yearning sym-

floney-moonunworthykeeping.

mthies.into A fleeting then the dawning of a long day ef misery wearisome days of sickness the feeble moan of the first-born no mother's arm in which to place, with girlish pride, the little wailing stranger lover and friend afar no 'nice place to cry!'

Thank God!—not unheard by Him, who 'wipeth »11 tears away,'goeth up the troubled heart-plaint from the despairing lips of the motherless! J,

A CURSK.—They don't pay the printer very well at Mt. Carmel. 111. The ltegister at that place puts forth the following anathema, which is hard to beat. *.

TO ALL NON-PAYINO PATRONS. bend us our dues—or may you be shod with lightning and compelled to wander through deserts of gun-powder your eyes be sore, and a chestnut bur for an eyestone. May you have a hornet's nest in each boot, vipers in your ears, scorpions in your bosoni. and be lode on a sharp rail by bog-trotters in the nigh*., with a two bushel bag of sand tied to each leg. May a troop of printer's devils, lean, lank and hungry.dog you by day. and may the'fam ishud stricken ghost of the editor's baby haunt you by night and may your sorrows double daily, and your days lengthen in the same ratio your sorrows are multiplied and dually, when your cup of sorrow is full may you be nibbled to death by young ducks and kicked to your grave by grasshoppers."

Cruelty to dumb animals is one of the distinguishing vices of the lowest and basest of the people. Wherever it is found, it. is a certain mark of ignorance and mcannessi on intrinsic mark, which all the ex ternal advantages of wealth, splendor and nobility cannot obliterate.
