THE COURTS.
SESSIONS—Judge PdXBoll.—Tip , December
form of the Court tionmenced this morning, Sumucl
Levering being appointed foreman of the Grand Jury.
Judge Paxson addressed thejury at some length. After
defining their duties and referring to the trivial cases
returned by Aldermen, he spoke of the large increase of
crime 01 late years, and muoting the
statistics, said '• This increase of crime has
become a questiot,. which not only merits
lint imperatively item atuls the serious consideration or
cry ono who has any interest in the well-being of this
community. There was a time when our city was justly
known fur its quiet uniLgoOd order. It Is not so now.•
Crime no longer lurks msecret. It is bold and defiant.
It strikes down its victims upon our highways, in our
saloons, and in our places of business. It follows its qs
sedates te the very doors of our halls of justice and
aids them in their night and escape from the bands of
the law. It has reached, I hope ' its culmination.
Smug as crime Lae proved itself to be, the law Is
stronger, and it we aro to have a direct Jostle between
crime and Tullianism upon the one baud and the law
upon the other, be far as it may depend upon tho action
of this Court the law shall reign supreme.' '
After referring to theeauses, including that of whisky,
leading to the increase of crime, the Judge said : " An
other reason for this increase of crime le the indulgence
and sympathy which it meats at the hands of too many
of our citizens. It may suit the novelist and the poet
'to dress up crime in en attractive garb, hut when
YOU see it in the deck't he Illusion is quickly dispelled.
The era has passed When men robbed with 81101 courtly
grace as to Charm their victims. But the Sympathy en,
gendered for criminals by such false literature has re
mained to do its mischietons work: In toe many hist tnces

setts, and the members elect from Alabama, who had
'not been sworn iu, and ho invited allot them whose
right to vents was unchallenged to present themselves
and take the oath at the same time.
. . .
Mr. Paine suggested that perhaps the better modo
Would be to make a formal reference of the' credentials
bf all thee° members to the Committee on Elections.
The Speaker remarked that his suggestion had been
'that only those members whose credentials wore abso
lutely unchallenged Should present themselves, and that
he would pot administer the oath to any member against
whom an 'objection should be made. The usage had
tatveys been to allow members to be s*orn in against
whom there was no objection, without further core
ninny.
Mr. Brooks remarked that in point of fact the creden
tials of Mr. Cox bed been presented early in March last
unchallenged, and Mr. Cox had been actually appointed
by the speaker as a member of -the Committee on Bank
ing and Currency. •
Mr. Paine said he did not object to any individual
'Member. Ile had only suggested a general rule which
be thought ought to be adhered to.
the several members elect then presented theinselves
at the tea to take the oath of oMce.
Mr. Kelley objected to the swearingin of Mr,Sherroi,
of Ala, . and hittemore objected to the swearing in
Of Mr. of Ald., and those gentlemen were directed
to stand aside.' The oath was then administered to
Messrs. Barnum, of Coin,: Brooke, of Mass.; Cox, °IN.
Y ; Burchard, of 111.. and Buck and Buckley, of Ala.

LARS, 0800,000) in,the purchase and manufacture of Clothing. Our Sales have exceeded last year's, but have
fallen short of our. calculations,.amounting to the present time for Fall Trade to about $400,000, leaving us
FOUR HONDRRD THOUSAND DOLLARS' WORTH OF GARMENTS of every' description, suitable to all classes,made
up withlhe lit Mott care, of the'very fittest materials, not one dollar's worth of which are we willing to carry
over into next y ear ; hence .11 e are determined, AT ALL HAZARDS, to make •
A CLRA-N . SWEEP.
We, then,,olrer Our Entire Stock at prices as low as those prevailing at the Great Sale of last Pall, bringing
tome of our prices far below the cost of manufacturing.
